Library Now Has Water!
The repairs are complete, and the library has water again!
ALL DAY WATER SHUT DOWN – WEDS 1/17/24
PAWC will be replacing the main water supply valve located outside of the library building, and there will be no water available in the building all day. While the water is out, bathrooms will be available in the McDade Performing Arts Building or in the DeNaples Building. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Thurs 1/11 – Swipe to enter library
The Library is open, but the automatic doors are not. Please swipe your ID to enter the building.
Library Services Closed – January 7, 2024
Due to the weather conditions, the Library will not be staffed today. Royal Card holders can access floors 1 through 3 by swiping into a 24-hour entrance. Individuals without an active Royal Card are not permitted to use the Library today.
There will be no in-person Library services, but research support remains available through the Ask a Librarian chat.
One Week Left! – Application Deadline for Library Research Prize is Monday, December 11, 2023
There is one week left to apply for the Bonnie W. Oldham Library Research Prize! Project submissions from Summer and Fall 2023 courses are due Monday, December 11, 2023 by 4:00 pm.
Are you working on a research project in a course this semester? Did you use the library’s resources, services, collections, or spaces in order to complete your research? Then the Bonnie W. Oldham Library Research Prize is for you!
The Bonnie W. Oldham Library Research Prize recognizes excellence in research projects that show evidence of significant knowledge in the methods of research and the information gathering process and use of library resources, tools, and services.
Three prizes of $500.00 each will be awarded to the winning individual student or group in the following categories: Undergraduate Foundational (100-level courses), Undergraduate Upper-level (200- to 400-level courses), and Graduate. If won by a group, the award will be split equally among the group members. All you need to do is write a 500- to 700-word essay describing your research process and how you used the Library in completing the project. Check out our Tips web page for updated advice on how to craft the best 500- to 700-word essay you can about your research.
A statement of faculty support from the instructor who assigned the research project is also required for each submission.
Winners will be announced in May after the deadline for Intersession and Spring projects. Although there are two different dates to submit an application, only one judging will take place.
