This guide will provide you with the basics of using library resources as well as some of the IT you will find in our spaces. From exploring our library buildings to finding resources online, we want to help you get off to the best start we can.

× Library at Murray Transformation: From summer 2025 to early 2026, Library at Murray will be closed for a complete refurbishment to bring you more space for individual study, improved heating and lighting, and more power outlets.
