Everett Galleries 2016-17 Schedule

Mark your calendars! You won't want to miss any of the 2016-2017 exhibitions in the Hewes Library Everett Galleries.

The exhibition season has started with a fantastic show, "Method & Memory" featuring Monmouth faculty Stephanie J. Baugh and Eliza Au, and includes alum Jessica Bingham ‘12. This current show runs through September 16th.

Research Tip: Course Reserves

What are they? Where are they? 

Course Reserves are library materials that check out for two hours and can only be used within the library building. They are available at the Circulation Desk and you'll need your Monmouth College ID card to check out materials.

How can I find them? Does my professor have any course reserves?

You can find course reserves using the syllabus provided to you by your professors, or you can view the Searchable Course Reserves List in the Hewes Library Catalog. You can search by class, professor, or department.
