Reference
Reference Room Collection
The research materials found in the reference room range from specialized
dictionaries and encyclopedias that will help you find specific factual
information to indexes and bibliographies that will lead you to other sources
of information. Indexes and abstracts, both in printed and electronic formats,
provide extensive access to periodical articles on a wide range of subjects by
author, title, or subject. A listing of the indexes and abstracts available in
the reference room is at the Information Services reference desk.
Information Services Reference Desk
The reference desk is staffed by reference librarians who can provide
invaluable assistance in using the Library's resources and can help you select
and locate materials for reports, speeches, and term papers. There is always a
librarian on duty during all hours that the Library is open. Clerical staff or
student aids frequently assist the librarian during peak periods and in the
evening. Most of the time, the librarian will be able to satisfy your research
needs. If he or she is unable to provide the assistance you need, you may be
advised to make an appointment with one of the Library's subject specialists.
