Our goal is to provide professional assistance to students, faculty, and staff in searching for, accessing, and retrieving information, whether in print, electronic, or Web-based format. The focus of our print collection reflects the courses of instruction and DINFOS: journalism, photography/photojournalism, broadcasting, public affairs, etc., although we increasing operate in the virtual environment through links to Web-based databases and indexes and to web sites.

The library has 24 public access workstations, on all of which are loaded the software students need to complete many of their class assignments. Printers, a photocopier, microfiche/film reader, and VCR/DVD players with TV are available for use. A small conference room accommodates groups engaged in private study sessions.
