Dean's Welcome

Greetings, Coyotes!

Welcome to Spring 2026!  We are happy you’re here!

We have more great programming in store for you this semester!  Look for the return of Pop Tart Pop In starting 26 January and then every Monday except the week of spring break.  Keep a watch on our calendar and social media for more events.  We have confirmed book giveaways on 2 February, 16 February, 2 March, 6 April, and 27 April…and there will be more surprises!

Our library team is here for you, wherever “here” is for you!  Ask a Librarian service is a wonderful place to begin.  You have options to chat, phone, or text.  There is even a service to chat with a librarian from one of our partners around the globe if you need help after hours!  It’s even available 365 days a year, 24 hours a day.  If you need more time to discuss your questions and projects in depth, you can schedule an appointment, in-person or virtual. Our team is here to help you be successful and de-mystify our wonderful resources.

Our Makerspaces give you the chance to be a creator. You can stop by to visit and see the sample creations, or send your own 3D print request for the Innovation Lab.  There will be new surprises in the space too, expanding maker options from 3D printing to other crafting.

We’ve got great electronic resources that you can check out wherever you are as long as you have your Coyote ID.  Here’s just a few to give you an idea:

Black Life in America

From Black-owned newspapers to mainstream news publications, BLIA offers a window into African American history, culture, and daily life—as well as the ways the dominant culture has portrayed and perceived people of African descent. Includes Series 1: 1704-1877, Arrival in America through Reconstruction. Series 2: 1878-1975, Jim Crow through the Civil Rights Movement. Series 3: 1976-present, Black History Month to Today.

Women’s Studies Archive

Digitized historical primary sources such as manuscripts, newspapers, magazines, and more, focusing on materials produced by women, not just about women. Includes four collections: Issues and Identities; Voice and Vision; Rare Titles from the American Antiquarian Society, 1820-1922; and Female Forerunners Worldwide.

Asian American Drama

Contains 252 plays by 42 playwrights, together with information on related productions, theaters, production companies, and more. Half of these plays have never been published before. Covers the late 19th century through contemporary drama.
