A brief description of the institution's library support for sustainability research and learning:
The library supports sustainability research and learning by providing access to information resources in all formats. Resources supporting environmental and social justice topics comprise two areas in which our collections are especially strong because these fields of inquiry are also emphases of our overall curriculum. Our discovery tool "Owl Search" facilitates the finding of resources since it allows patrons to search across our entire collection (books, journals, videos, documents, etc.) What we do not have in house or electronically we can provide via interlibrary loan services from across the country and beyond. The tool Journalfinder identifies 26 full text journal titles in our collection that contain the word Sustainability and 577 full text titles containing the word Environment or Environmental. Research workshops and individual research support sessions support students working on all aspects of sustainability studies.
