What’s New At The Library?
Online Public Access Catalog
It was long overdue. The antiquated card catalog system is over! You can now view the library’s physical holdings online. If you would like to know what materials the library owns you can browse the Online Catalog.
Table of Contents Delivery Service
This service provides you with the Table of Contents of your favorite journals. Every new issue comes directly to your E-mail. It gives you an opportunity to scan the contents of the journal without having to come to the library to make copies of the articles you would like to read. Most full-text articles can be sent to you within 2-3 business days. Please send your requests to the librarian with appropriate citation information (i.e. Journal Name, Volume & Issue Number, Year, Author).

The collection includes a variety of subjects ranging from self-help, leadership, customer service, administration, management, teamwork, patient satisfaction and more.
