Come for Donuts, stay for the answers! Tuesday, May 12 at 7 p.m. First floor of the Library, ULC 118

Need help with research? Not sure where to find resources for your term paper?

You’re not alone, and you don’t have to figure it out by yourself. The library team is here to connect you with the tools you need, including research guides, Interlibrary Loan (ILL), and access to Kalamazoo College’s photo, periodical, and archival collections.

Join us for an informal Q&A panel where students can bring their questions directly to librarians, hosted by the KCCSR Library Resource Committee. Grab a treat and head into finals week feeling prepared.

Constitution Day: September 17

Posted on by Kelly Frost

Celebrate the United States Constitution!

To mark this year’s Constitution Day (Wednesday, September 17th), the Library has compiled a guide of resources, including primary source documents, to provide the College community with information about one of America’s most important documents.

Established by Congress in 2004, Constitution Day recognizes the ratification of the U.S. constitution on September 17, 1787.  The law, introduced by Senator Robert Byrd of West Virginia, requires all educational institutions receiving federal funds provide information and instruction about the Constitution on September 17th each year.
