Southwest Library

The Southwest Library is a quiet, spacious, and attractive modern research facility housed in the Earl E. & Dorothy J. Dellinger Hall.

A spacious, modern library interior with large floor‑to‑ceiling windows allowing natural light to fill the room. Bookshelves arranged in rows hold a variety of books, and several computer workstations line the far wall. In the foreground, cushioned red armchairs and small tables create a comfortable seating area. The ceiling features exposed beams and hanging lights, giving the space an open, airy atmosphere.

PRIMO Search is available to assist you in finding research materials. It is a one-stop place to search for library print, electronic, and digital materials and to discover and access journal articles, e-books, databases, and more.
