Whether you are in the Edgewood Library almost daily or are more of a study-at-home type of student, here are five things you may not know about the Library:
Librarian Liaisons
All of our librarians have their specialty areas of subject matter and diverse interests. Check our Librarian Liaison Directory to find their areas of specialty which can help you with research. Of course, each can assist you with your research in any discipline.
Oscar Express
If you are in need of an article or book we don't have access to, we are happy to get it from another library (called InterLibrary Loan). Students, faculty, and staff have a generous amount of free interlibrary loans they can request per year:
- Undergraduate students: 40 free requests
- Graduate students: 70 free requests
- Faculty and staff: 75 free requests
Article requests usually take about 1-3 days. and books 5-7 days. For more info, see How do I request something that's not available at Edgewood?
Beautiful space
Come in and check out our new extra-large bean bag chairs! The Oscar Rennebohm Library has a wonderful setting, which includes large windows which let in light and nature. This setting promotes relaxation and is a wonderful place to do your studies. Ah yes, napping is allowed!
Relax and Read
