Welcome! Below are your Library Updates for Fall 2022
Greetings Colleagues,
With a new semester right around the corner, remember, Librarians are here to help support you and your students. We offer in-person or live online instruction sessions, one-on-one research and citations assistance, maintain access to a growing collection of academic resources, both in print and electronic formats, carry essential items for check out, maintain study rooms and spaces, and well, the list really does go on.
I ask that you please keep in touch throughout the year, get to know our resources, give us feedback, and let us know how we can best serve you and our students and their needs.
Best,
Damian Chacon, Librarian/Professor I

- Another is Drama Online
- This award-winning digital library has been created as a response to the need for a high-quality online research tool for drama and literature students, professors, and teachers. It is the only resource to combine exclusively available playtext content and scholarly publications with filmed live performances, film adaptations, and audio plays.
