Meeting Students
Where They Are
By Rachel Cole,
Public Services Librarian
The success of our students is
behind everything we do. Digital
exhibits and a robust social media
presence help us create an
ongoing, interactive conversation
between students and the library,
with feedback like, “I learn so much
from your Instagram!”

By Brynne, Research Consultant at
the Research and Writing Center at
Brigham Young University
The photo is of student employees
at the Research and Writing Center
at our library that provides help
with any stage of the writing
process. Though many universities
have writing centers, our trained
research consultants make our
service unique.
Any Question, Expert Help.

Close Fur Comfort
By Stephanie Espinoza,
eLearning Librarian
Every semester our library hosts
certified therapy dogs to help students
relax during exams. It eases stress,
facilitates social interactions, and
creates a welcoming environment so
students feel comfortable returning to
the library for academic assistance as
well.
