Project Interphase 2006 Welcome to the MIT Libraries! Michelle Baildon
What is a library? A place to study (at all hours of the day and night) A place to work (we have computers, printers, copiers, scanners, VCRs, etc.) Collections (of books, databases, music, DVDs, you name it) People (we’re here to help... no, really!!) The library is physical and it’s online
