Dean's Welcome

I hope you will find our libraries to be places where you will feel comfortable, enjoy our pleasant study spaces and exhibits, and be able to find the materials you need for your research projects. The Libraries are places where you can find a quiet place to work, sip coffee, catch up on e-mail, find books and articles on the topics you are researching, and even write your papers or presentations.

We have tried to design our Web site to be as friendly and easy-to-navigate as possible so that if you are mainly a cyber-visitor to the Libraries you can find the resources and information you need as quickly and conveniently as possible from your home or office or lab.

We would appreciate any feedback you have about our facilities, collections, or our services. We want to know what is missing or what more we can do to help you, whether you are a student, faculty member, University staff member, or visitor. Please know that my door is always open to hear about your concerns or suggestions—and even your compliments! My office is in Room 206 of Mullins Library (in the south hallway off the main west entrance). If you don’t want to make suggestions to me directly, you can always relay them to us by going to our Make a Suggestion or our Ask a Question pages using the buttons at the top of any page.

I wish you the very best in all your academic pursuits!

Carolyn Henderson Allen
Dean of Libraries
