Have you noticed some changes on our library website?
The Bowman Library Team is excited to launch our website redesign! We’ve been working on making things easier to find with our new navigation menu and information architecture, refreshing the overall look and feel, and improving the user experience (UX), accessibility, and responsiveness of the site.
Highlights of the website redesign include:
Although the website redesign has been launched, the work is far from over! We are continuing to improve upon the website and user experience for digital resources at the library and would love to hear from you.
Have thoughts on the website redesign? Is there a feature you would like to see on the website? Send feedback and suggestions through our Website Redesign Feedback form or email Amy Lee, our Systems Librarian, directly.
If you are experiencing issues with the website or e-resource access, use the Technical Support Form to report a problem or request technical support. Please remember to include your contact information if you’d like a librarian to follow up with you.
We hope you enjoy the new website! If you have any ideas for content you’d like to see or would like assistance with other library matters, please feel free to reach out to the library team anytime at libraryhelp@menlo.edu.

Did you know that many of your course textbooks are on reserve in the library?
Some professors have selected textbooks and other learning materials for Menlo College courses that are made available for your use as course reserves in the library. You'll need your Menlo ID to check out these books at the service desk for a two-hour window. Search for your textbook in our course reserve catalog and learn more about course reserves.
Check out our FAQ to find out more and search to see if your classes have course reserves.
For our faculty: Please consider putting a course reserve in the library for your class. Here's a link to our faculty info page on course reserves. If you have any questions, we will be happy to help.
We have some new acquisitions and some outgoing eResources. Feel free to come by the library and check out the new titles.
