Collection Development
The assistance of faculty is vital in developing collections that support the curriculum and meet the general information needs of students, faculty, and staff. Faculty are encouraged to recommend materials to meet the changing demands of their courses and new developments in their disciplines.
SMILE Lab
Located in the Academic Center adjacent to the Library, this lab offers multimedia and laboratory resources for independent learning and collaborative projects. Selected media and equipment can be checked out at the Library Circulation desk for use in the lab. The lab also houses equipment for creating multimedia projects and presentations. Contact the Library’s circulation desk to schedule assistance in using these resources.
