Reference & Oversize Collections Swapped Locations

Over the summer, the Hewes Library staff completed an extensive evaluation of the library's Reference collection.  The project involved updating many older materials and moving some items from the Reference to the Circulating collection to increase circulation of materials. 

To facilitate the growth in the Oversize collection, the Reference collection and the Oversize collection swapped physical locations.  Reference is now located on the east side of the library's main floor and Oversize is now housed on the old Reference shelves in the middle of the library's main floor.

On Display: Back to School

Currently on display in the East Lobby is a collection of Back to School items from the Monmouth College Bookstore.  You can visit the bookstore in person or online to purchase any of these items.

If you ever need research assistance, please stop by and talk to a library staff member or read through some of our Research Guides to learn more about a research in a specific discipline or take a look at our guide on The Research Process for an overview.

Our library hours will be the same this fall. You can view the full list on the library's hours page.

From all of us, welcome back!

Faculty: Don't forget your Course Reserves

Now is the time to get your Course Reserves ready!

If you are a MC faculty member and plan to place items on course reserve, remember that all of our course reserve information is available on our website along with the necessary forms.

Please allow 48 hours for processing. At times of high volume, especially at semester's beginning, processing may take longer. For this reason, we recommend that reserve forms be submitted well in advance of their anticipated date of first use.
