We would like your feedback on a new library resource.

Soon, we will be implementing a new Research by Subject portal. Please visit it and send your comments to Ellen Bahr at bahr@alfred.edu (or use the comment form, below).

Some features of the new page:

• View resources by subject
• View resources by type
• Search resources by keyword
• Get a list of multidisciplinary databases

This change will not be taking place until after this semester; the current Research by Subject page on the Herrick website will remain available until that time.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us!
