Located in the Jean & Charles Schulz Information Center, the Sonoma State University Library advances student success by facilitating equitable access to information, tools for knowledge creation, and connection to a scholarly community.
The Library makes it easy for students to access the materials they need to succeed. Along with more than half a million print books and e-books, students can borrow course readings, films, music, and laptops. For questions about how to find, borrow, print, or copy material, visit the Information/Check-out Desk, located on the second floor. If the Library does not have what you are looking for, CSU+ can be used to quickly request books, journal articles, and more, free of charge.
Librarians partner with faculty in every academic department to integrate skills for identifying, finding, synthesizing, and citing information into SSU courses. Students have access to help for research through scheduled appointments with librarians, 24/7 chat, and visits to the Research Help Desk. Librarians also create online research guides for every department, with contact information and research tips.
Library faculty teach credit courses in the General Education Program. Courses are taught with asynchronous or synchronous course modalities. Students are invited to register for LIS 101: Introduction to Information Literacy to satisfy GE area 1B - Critical Thinking.
The Jean & Charles Schulz Information Center is a popular destination for students, offering individual and group study, reservable rooms, a terrace, and vending machines. In addition to printers and copiers, the Library provides laptop and desktop computers. Students can borrow a variety of technology from calculators to cameras and microphones, DVD players, and more! Food and beverages are welcome throughout most of the Library.
Sonoma State University Library’s Special Collections connect the present with the past by providing research assistance and instruction in the use of primary sources, advanced research, and digital projects. Students and researchers from around the world use Special Collections to explore the history of Sonoma State University, the life and times of Jack London, and North Bay social and environmental history.
Everyone is a creator in the SSU Makerspace through exploration of fabrication, prototyping, immersive technologies, arts and crafts, and a wide range of equipment and tools. The Makerspace is open to SSU students, faculty, and staff on weekdays for walk-in use. Students, faculty, and staff can explore new technologies through course-integrated labs, open workshops, peer learning, and free-play.
