Reminder for Library Research Assistance
While Boatwright Library will be partially open during the ongoing library renovation project, all liaison librarians have been moved to The Refectory building on campus. If you need research assistance from Kyle or another librarian, you can either find them in The Refectory, or schedule a meeting with them online.
Not sure where The Refectory is? Click on the following link to open a campus map with The Refectory highlighted: https://maps.richmond.edu/?id=1949#!m/571556?s/refectory
