 Research Support - Stop by the Reference Desk on the 1st floor of the Library where reference librarians are there to help with any assignments or papers. You can also chat, email, or call us.  


Study Spaces -  We offer a lot of study spaces, including quiet study areas, and reservable group study rooms. 

 Checking out materials - you may check out materials from our library at the Circulation Desk on the first floor. You may also borrow materials from other UW libraries.
