The Library at the Center for Graduate Studies of Asheville

This week our post is all about just sitting back and enjoying the view. So get comfy with your computer and take a look at some shots of the beautiful winter sky from our view at the library - at Lenoir-Rhyne University Center for Graduate Studies of Asheville. 

The Rudisill Library site got a new face today! The new layout for the library site is cleaner and more easily navigable because we are using the more friendly (and, we hope, familiar) user interface of LibGuides for our main site. LibGuides are research guides, created by your librarians on specific subjects. There is one for almost every area of study that Lenoir-Rhyne offers, and they are chock full of great, handpicked resources and helpful tips. Explore all the LibGuides we have to offer at  libguides.lr.edu The L-R Asheville Library site, which you can find at libguides.lr.edu/ashevillelibrary  (or by choosing the 'Asheville' link on the top right of the new library homepage), has always been a LibGuide. There are still a few things being updated with the latest information, and next on the list, we'll update our instructional videos to show off the new look. In the meantime - go check it out !

In honor of 2016, here are 20,  make that  16 reasons to visit your librarians this semester: 1. The library space/computer lab is a really nice place to study, collaborate, or just hang out. 2. Like, have you seen the view? photo by Allison Etzel ... it's totally lovely. 3. We want you to interrupt us... Grey House Publishing 4. & we won't shush you. 5. We know where to find the best online resources - cough LIBGUIDES cough 6. We can help you get books from the main campus (or other university libraries if needed) delivered to Asheville, just for you. 7. We can help you get access to journal and magazine articles too! (Even if L-R doesn't own it -- just use the ILL portal to get started). 9. We can help you properly cite your sources according to APA/MLA formatting rules. 10. And also format your paper according to APA/MLA formatting rules... fair warning, our favorite resource is the  Purdue OWL
