About Us
We're here to help you with borrowing, course reserves, interlibrary loan, document delivery, and more. We have two service desks where you can check out and return items; however, the West Service Desk offers more services, equipment check-outs, and lost and found. Visit our Tech Help desk for computer assistance.
Service desk hours are not the same as the building hours shown in the calendar and may also vary due to holidays and other closures.
