General Information

Librarians at Hoover Library are committed to their shared role with the faculty in preparing students to engage in the academic research process. This continues regardless of whether our students are on campus or distance learning!

On-Demand Online Research Support

During the college closure, the library is offering both online instructional support and maintaining our regular hours of research support for students. 

One-on-one research support services for students will resume on Monday, 3/23/20 during the library's normal reference hours. Students may chat, text, or send in a ticket and expect an immediate response. Students seeking assistance outside those hours can submit a dashboard ticket, which will be answered at the beginning of the next research help shift.

Scheduling Research Consultations

While the library is not offering in-person research consultations, students are encouraged to individually contact their librarians to schedule a phone- or video-conference consultation with them. The library staff will do everything they can to accommodate individual student technology needs and limitations.
