Reference Librarians help panicked students!

"I was completely panic stricken as to where to begin my research paper. The reference librarians were great in directing me to the right database to find articles!" - Bennie

"I thought my head was going to explode because I couldn't remember how to create my bibliography page from RefWorks, and my paper was due in 1 hour! I asked a librarian, and she had it created for me in less than 5 minutes which allowed me plenty of time to proofread it and get an A+. Thanks reference librarians!" - Johnnie

Reference Librarians are available if you need help with completing any last minute research! We are here to help you find high-quality scholarly material and answer any RefWorks questions. Stop by either libraries and ask for us! Or set up an Individual Research Appointment. Don't panic! Get help at Clemens and Alcuin Library!

New Search Box

We've got a new search box on the library web site. This is for finding books and other materials held by libraries. It searches WorldCat, but links back to what we own and gives you the call number for books that we own.

Just type your search in the main search box. The old MnPALS interface is still be available, for those who prefer it.

We'd like to hear back from you, so if you have comments, please let us know.
