Dear Sociology Faculty,
Even as the semester reaches a close, the Thomas Cooper Library continues to introduce new services such as the Book a Librarian consultation service and our new mobile app. Read on for more information on these new additions. Also, as you start thinking ahead to summer and fall courses, remember that I am available to help you with any library needs, such as class instruction sessions, customized research guides for courses, and requests for new materials to add to the library collection. Please feel free to send me questions or suggestions any time.
Sincerely,
Brent Appling
School of Journalism Liaison
