A Message from the Interim Dean of the University Libraries

Dear Students,
On behalf of the faculty, administrators, and staff of the University Libraries I extend a hearty welcome back for the spring semester! While this past year presented us all with unparalleled challenges in responding to COVID-19, it’s my hope that our collective persistence and perseverance brings optimism and positivity for the new year.
Please know that the primary objective of the University Libraries is to provide you with the support needed to accomplish your academic goals. Despite the challenges that still exist, our group of dedicated librarians and staff stand ready to aid and assist you in any way we can. Keeping in mind the appropriate safety protocols needed in the present environment, we have implemented changes in our service delivery that will provide you with direct access to printed materials and have also expanded our online consultation services. The Libraries continues to provide access to online journals, digital resources and eBooks in support of your coursework and research need.
In closing, I wish you a productive and successful semester. Please feel free to contact us with any questions or concerns you may have.
Sincerely,
André McKenzie, Ed.D.
Interim Dean, University Libraries
