Library Support at Downtown Centers

A librarian is available each week to support students at Saginaw and Midland Centers.

Downtown Saginaw Center - Tuesdays (Anne Elias)
Downtown Midland Center - Thursdays (Carol Whittaker)

Virtual help is available to Centers students during main campus library hours and class research sessions can be scheduled during most main campus library hours. Books can be delivered from main campus to the centers and faculty, staff and students can obtain a library barcode at the centers as well.

Adventures in Printing

"How do I print?" continues to be our main question at the reference desk. It can be a complex and frustrating experience for students, especially with so many variables like laptops, wireless printing and cloud storage. The library Printing Resource Guide provides guidance on how to print in the library, at the centers and from a personal device. If students have questions (or you do), please refer them to this guide or send them to the Reference Desk in the library for help.
