Patron feedback
Some very useful:"the service the wonderful - i find it
efficient to ask on msn for info if i cannot find something and then drop by the library to pick it up”
I think that it is great, very convenient and quick. You told me exactly where to go and what to do so that I would be able to find the information that I need.

Patron feedback
Some made us blush:“I BRAG to my friends…that ‘I'm
talking to a librarian’ or ‘I chatted up the librarian today’ … lol, it drives them nuts”

Patron feedback
More blushing: “The service is awesomeness wrapped up
in electronic form. I'm so so so pleased that the university decided to be technologically advanced and realized that sometimes students are too busy to trudge all the way down to the library to get questions answered from reliable sources”
