Back to School: Resources for Students

Welcome to the Fall 2022 semester! Whether this is your first semester of college or your last, we would like to remind you to take advantage of the many resources available through the library. Library staff members are here to help you have a successful and productive semester! To that end, read on to learn about just a few of the items and services we offer.

Individual and group study spaces

Looking for a quiet place to study or take a class online? Library study rooms are available to reserve using our online booking system. Study rooms can be booked for 2-hour time periods. Contact the Desk staff if you need to reserve a study room for longer than two hours.

Access to printers

Printers are located on the first floor of the library, and in the third-floor computer lab. Print from the library’s desktop computers or use Mobility Print to print from your personal devices. Tap your HillCard at the printer to release your documents. Help is available with Mobility Print.

Phone and laptop chargers

Forgot your phone or laptop charger? Use your HillCard to borrow one from the Desk! Additional miscellaneous technology and leisure items are available to borrow from the Library of Things, located on the first floor, near the printers.

Research help

Research and instruction librarians are available to meet with individual students or small groups to help you locate information for your research projects. We offer in-person or virtual appointments and can help you navigate the library databases to locate scholarly articles, search the library catalog to find books and streaming videos, or create citations. Studies have shown that students who use the library get better grades, so book an appointment with a research librarian today! 

Thousands of information sources

What would a library be without books? We have print books, eBooks, and streaming videos for every academic discipline, as well as fiction titles, children’s books, newspapers, and more!
