We have been making some changes behind the scenes and out in the public area to give our patrons more room to work, collaborate, and relax in EMSL. Over the last few months we moved our circulating equipment out behind the desk so you can see the selection we have available, and make our course reserves easier to sort through and browse quickly.

We recently moved the current journal collection behind the desk also, condensing it so that we could use the area for seating and other uses. We have many more little changes and a few exciting big ones coming soon, so keep an eye out for those in the next few months!

We live in a time of “fuzzy facts” and in a world of information overload. With more and more information appearing on social media first, it can be challenging to know the truth of any statement. To help with this, the library has created a Fake News guide. This web page contains helpful hints for fact checking and shows how to the news is reported.
