Welcome from the Dean
For those who are new here, welcome to Western! For others, welcome back to a new academic year! As always, the Western Libraries are here to assist and support you.
We continue to refine and improve our practices that will provide the high quality research assistance and resource access you expect and require. The Learning Commons in the Libraries is evolving into a vibrant, interactive space where students can now get assistance with their research, writing, and coursework. The Libraries faculty and staff are here to assist and to partner with you.
A few helpful tips and reminders…
- Contact us if you have documents or readings you’d like to share with your students - we’ll put them on e-reserve for you or facilitate access through Blackboard.
- Think of us when you or your students have a research problem that is proving tough to crack.
- Visit us when you need research materials, a quiet place to read, or want to grab a cup of coffee at Zoe’s with your colleagues.
I urge you to drop by or drop me a line if you need anything. I wish you well in your teaching and research endeavors.
Regards,
Rick Osen
