Publishers and vendors have generously opened their content packages to CSU for free and limited amounts of time so that CSU Chico faculty, staff, and students have access to additional electronic research and teaching content at this time. The Meriam Library has been working with the Chancellor’s Office to set up this new content, much of which is full-text.

Though the environment is a bit different than usual, librarians at Meriam Library want our campus partners to know that we are prepared and committed to continue serving the Chico State community. To ensure our students have a continuous and successful online learning experience, we’re providing many of our traditional services online, as well as new opportunities for students to interact with a librarian for research assistance, class and group instruction, or for individual assistance.

The Meriam Library is dedicated to assisting students and faculty as we move to an online teaching environment. There are several actions that we have taken to ensure reference and research assistance, as well as Information Literacy instruction can continue to be provided.

If you are needing access to internet off campus, Chico State has compiled a list of resources. Please click here.

The safety and health of our community is a top priority.  At this time, Meriam Library and Chico State Enterprises have decided to postpone the Inspired event planned for March 25, 2020 following the CSU and State guidelines for gatherings.  We have made this decision after careful consideration of the well-being of everyone involved.

Meriam Library is celebrating National Nutrition Month during the month of March! National Nutrition Month is an annual nutrition education and information campaign created by the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. This campaign focuses attention on the importance of making informed food choices and developing sound eating and physical activity habits. Some key messages from this campaign are:

Discover the benefits of a healthy eating style.

Choose foods and drinks that are good for your health.

Select healthier options when eating away from home.
