Website Updates!

We've recently updated our website!  

The "Services" tab is now organized by user-type, to help make finding information that's relevant to you easier!

Subject-specific pages are now in Library Guides, found under the "Research & Resources" tab or at www.simmons.libguides.com.  You can also find information under that tab to help you with your research in the Library!


Library Guides are a great way to discover resources on a subject, get to know a Librarian, and use e-resources relevant to your research.
