You may have heard that you can do all your research online and that you won't ever have to go to the library during your undergraduate years. However, in all likelihood you will reach a point when you'll have to leave your dorm or apartment behind.
Going to the library doesn't have to be a chore, however. There are good reasons, besides the usual "it's a good quiet place to study", to go there even if you don't have to. There are 14 library sites on the U of M Twin Cities Campus and among the thousands of books and digital media, are 11 special collections including the Kerlan Collection of Children's Literature and the largest collection of Sherlock Holmes books and memorabilia in the world. Both are worth a look.
Wilson Library also boasts a new Information Commons area. It has more than 32 computers that you can use to do research, build multi-media presentations, and work on projects. Information commons was created with the idea of bringing together the resources for students who want help in research, technology, and writing all in one place. More information.
If you need help using the library, the staff offer workshops and online tutorials. Check it out.
