them?

Librarians and library staff to provide online help.

research in all different majors and disciplines, from Art to Women’s Studies.

websites, for doing research in a specific subject. They also explain “how to” use and locate these
resources.

cite using APA and MLA, Safety and Security, Reference Tools, and EndNote.

Undergraduate Library One Stop Service Desk
1. One Stop Shop: No more multiple lines!
No more standing in line at one desk just to be told that you need to stand in a
line at another desk.
2. One desk=multiple services
A single service point where you can have all your questions answered- be it
reserves, reference, etc. –as well as basic check in/checkout services.
3. Direct Services
The library will increase the number of computers that patrons can use to quickly
search the catalog for media, circulating, or reserve materials.
4. Personal Service:
With having a single combined desk this will allow Librarians to offer more
personalized service- such going to the stacks to help search for a book or going
to a patrons computer station- without leaving the desk empty for another
patron to wait.
5. The Future!
The library will look at self-checkout systems that could reduce the wait to
checkout material and offer greater personal service for those who need, or
wish, to speak directly to a library person.
