Assignment Alerts
Let the Library know of upcoming assignments so that we may provide the best service possible. If you are assigning research, please check the Online Catalog to be sure that we have materials on the topic at the appropriate level. If we do not have enough materials to serve all your students, call us to make arrangements to move materials to in-library-use-only or shorten the loan period.
