SU Library Comes to the Atrium
Beginning in November, Elizabeth Wallace, SU’s librarian for Biology, Earth Sciences, and Engineering & Computer Science, will be providing mobile reference service from the Atrium in the Life Sciences Complex. If you have specific reference questions, or if feel you could use some advice on the best library resources for your research, stop by and say hello. There’s no set schedule yet, but Elizabeth will be hanging out in the atrium for a couple of hours, a couple of times a week. Look for the big orange SU Library banner. And don’t forget to bookmark her guide to SU Library Biology resources at: http://researchguides.library.syr.edu/biology |
