      You are not bothering us! Students often think we’re busy with other work and that they shouldn’t bother the librarian. We will gladly put aside our other work to help you with your research question. For many of us, working with students is what got us interested in Library work in the first place. So don’t feel like you’re interrupting or bothering us. We’re here to help.
      The Reference Desk is located directly in front of you as you enter the MacPháidín Library.

    Level 2 is for quiet study; students on this level should work as quietly as possible, with minimal conversation.
    Level 3 is for silent study; if you need a space free from noise and distractions, Level 3 is for you!If you are on Levels 2 or 3 and the noise levels are too loud, find a librarian or call 508-565-1313. We will be happy to assist you.
    The library also has a number of study rooms available for students. To book a room call 508-565-1313 or visit the Circulation Desk, which is to your left as you enter the building.

  • We have classrooms and computing spaces
    The Library classroom (Rm 116) was renovated over the summer and has been renamed the Brian J. Flynn Discovery & Collaboration Space (or the Flynn DisCo for short). The room is equipped with Air Media for wireless presentations that can be displayed simultaneous on 4 HD televisions and 2 projection screens.
    When the room isn’t in use for classes, students are welcome to use it as an additional study spaceHP tablets are available for students to use in the spaceIn addition to the DisCo, there is a computer lap on the third floor, where students can access programs such as SPSS, and additional computers are available on Level 1.
  • We have LibGuides
    You’ll hear LibGuides referred to in a lot of library instruction sessions. This is a program that allows the Reference Librarians to create specific webpages, i.e. LibGuides, for different subjects and classes. Most major subjects, such as History or Business or Biology, have a Subject Guide. Your instructors can also have Librarians create a LibGuide for a specific course. These guides can save you time by directing you to the best databases and other resources for research in a particular field.
