关于图书馆
The library provides print and electronic resources to support the University curriculum, consultation and interlibrary loan services to aid research and instruction in the discovery and use of information sources. Comfortable seating areas on three floors allow for individual, group, or quiet study. 电脑室, the Walker Active Learning Center and an after-hours study, home of Lounge Twelve, round out the space. Special collections include the University archives, Brethren historical materials and the peace studies collection.
