Library

The library provides students with a place to study, read, and conduct research. While in the library, computer lab or dormitories, students have access to the Internet and SIRS, a web-based reference program which provides valuable information on social issues, economics, business, politics, global issues, scientific developments, health, history, government, culture, the arts and humanities. SIRS includes a comprehensive tutorial, research strategies worksheets, search tips, citation guidelines, educational resources and an interactive dictionary and thesaurus.
