The Scholars’ Commons connects researchers—whether faculty, staff, students or community members—to experts, resources, learning opportunities, and spaces that can assist with every stage of scholarship. Let us help you face-to-face at our Scholars’ Commons Desk on the first floor of Wells Library, East Tower or by phone, chat, or e-mail.

- Mini Makerspace
- Consultation rooms (available by reservation for grad students, faculty & staff)
