Menlo College students rely upon Bowman Library every day and throughout their academic experience. The Library is a source of inspiration, engagement and comraderie. Students find quiet study space, group study rooms, and a learning commons. Special events and thoughtfully crafted digital and print collections broaden students' horizons. Highly skilled, innovative librarians teach students the research skills they will need to succeed in their future careers.
In their first year, students are introduced to a new world of information resources, including peer-reviewed original research, primary and secondary literature, and research data. We help them explore. By the end of the undergraduate experience, students become active participants in the world of scholarship producing their own original theses, research, or culminating projects. So much of the work leading up to that stage occurs at Bowman Library.
