The Boole Library (and how to use it)

The Library isn’t just somewhere you can get books. It’s somewhere you can do your work on your own or with others, escape sensory overload and get some help with studying. This section of the toolkit will introduce our library and how to use it, including:

  • how to tell how busy the Library is at any point
  • how to borrow and return a book
  • how to search the library for resources (both print and electronic)

Background

The Boole Library is actually one of two Libraries on the main campus. The other library is the Brookfield Library, located in Brookfield Health Science Complex.
