OFF-CAMPUS Corner
ON-CAMPUS Corner A major concern for students that
responded to our Library Quality Survey was
that there are not enough available
designated quiet study spaces.
In response, we have added more quiet
study carrels in the West wing of the library,
which previously held the Government
Documents collection (now relocated to the
periodicals shelves).
Update: LOOK INSIDE Reading E-Books through the LRC’s collection is easier than ever before. Just
click Look Inside when you find an E-Book in the LRC Catalogue.
