Meriam Library welcomes our new Library Dean, Zheng “John” Wang!

I chose this one after reading WING 4, then I was hooked.   Ahhh...poetry!

"I chose it, since it gives us a window into the fascinating world of transportation."

People say you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover, but let’s face it:  it’s hard not to be intrigued by some of these covers. It’s almost like they are begging you to pick them! And no one at Meriam Library sees more interesting covers than Paula. Here is this month’s Paula Pick!

Paula Scholtes has worked at Meriam Library for a total of 35 years, including as a student employee. In her current role as cataloger in the Library’s ACME (Acquisitions, Collection Management and Evaluation) department, she processes incoming books, entering them into our system, so they can be checked out by patrons. In other words, hundreds of new books cross Paula’s desk each month!

Librarians are happy to help you out with the entire research process, from brainstorming and strategizing to finding, evaluating, integrating, and citing sources. Find your subject librarian below. Zoom appointments during student hours can be made here: https://libcal.csuchico.edu/appointments. If you cannot meet during the listed hours, please e-mail your librarian to arrange a different time. 

It is National Library Week 2020!

Discover your place a the library through our virtual resources, databases, reference and research help, and social media posts.

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.
