User Experience Team

User Experience Team

We want your library experiences to be valuable ones. We are constantly asking questions and looking for ways to improve the Library’s website, facilities, collections, and services.

  • How can we make it easier for you to access books and articles on our website?
  • How can we make the Library more comfortable and conducive to your learning and research?
  • How can we improve our services to make them more relevant and useful to you?
