New IRC Website

 
Yes, We're Baaaack!

The new Instructional Resource Center is live. Thanks to Ashland University's great web services team, the layout is set, some of our content is in place, and we are back. Even better, Ask the IRC Chat widgets are functional, Library Guides are linked, and several of our social media sites are featured. 

We will be tweaking things in the upcoming weeks, restoring content information and updating as needed.  Stay tuned ... and thanks for your patience as we explore our place in the new AU website.

➤  Don't forget to visit the main Archer Library website, too.
