The Information Commons has an excellent collection of 20,000 books and periodicals,
access to research databases and 60 networked, Pentium IV computers for student
and faculty use. Librarians are available to help with research questions, search
strategies, and analyzing research sources. The 12,000 square foot facility offers
two group study rooms, several quiet, comfortable reading areas, a classroom
area, and a copy machine. The 1,000 gallon salt-water aquarium, filled with exotic,
colorful fish, provides a beautiful and calming site in the bustling Information
Commons.

tables and chairs and a calming fountain.
