We have 5 full time librarians here to help you with all of your research needs!
Your job as a scholar is to find the resources you need and create the content asked of you (i.e. research papers, verbal presentations, physical presentations and online presentations). Your job is NOT to spend countless hours trying to find those resources. When you find yourself spinning in a research circle or simply coming up empty, let your friendly librarians assist you.
At Mesa College we have a variety of ways you can contact a librarian, see our "Ask A Librarian" page on the Mesa Library website for all the details.
The Mesa Library provides online access to over 100 article and streaming databases, over 85,000 print books, as well as over 35,000 electronic books to currently enrolled Mesa students and Mesa employees. You can access these through the Mesa Library website.
