Summer might be a little quieter on campus, but your research doesn't have to take a vacation. Whether you're working on a summer session class project, preparing for fall courses, or diving into a personal research interest, the University Library is here to support you, even during the summer months.
There are plenty of ways to get expert support from our librarians:
Want dedicated one-on-one help? You can book a virtual or an in-person research consultation with one of our librarians. We'll work with you to find relevant sources, develop your topic, and make the most of library tools and databases. Appointments are flexible and personalized to your needs.
Have a quick question or need immediate help? Use our chat service for real-time help, 24/7. A librarian from our global librarian network will be on the other end, ready to help.
Prefer to reach out via email and respond on your own time? No problem. Send us your research questions and we'll get back to you with helpful suggestions and resources.
Whether you're on campus or off, we're here to help you stay connected to the resources and help you need. Don't hesitate to reach out--we're just a click away.
As the academic year comes to a close, we extend our heartfelt congratulations to all of our graduating students! Your determination, creativity, and hard work have carried you through countless challenges, and we couldn't be prouder of everything you've accomplished.
As you leave campus to move into the next chapter of your lives, we know you'll carry the values of the Seawolf community with you. These values--integrity, respect, responsibility, and excellence--are not just important in college. They're lifelong commitments that will guide you as leaders, citizens, and members of your community.
You've made a lasting impact here, and we can't wait to see the difference you'll make wherever you go next. From all of us at the University Library, congratulations, graduates!

This year marks a special milestone for the Sonoma State University Library: it has been 25 years since the Schulz Information Center first opened its doors. Since 2000, Shulz has served as a vibrant hub of learning, connection, and innovation for students, faculty, and the broader community.
As we reflect on the past 25 years, we're looking to the future, and we're inviting you to be part of it.
Today, we're proud to launch our 25th Anniversary Fundraising Campaign: 25 Years of Impact.
Through this campaign, we aim to raise support for three key initiatives that directly impact student success:
Expanding Access to Course Materials
We're building on a successful pilot program that provided access to over 300 textbooks and learning resources to students for free. Your support helps us grow this program and remove financial barriers to education.
Investing in Digital Creation Tools
From podcasting and video production to 3D priting and digital storytelling, we're expanding our Makerspace to give students hands-on opportunities to learn, create, and share their voices.
Transforming Library Spaces
We're reimagining the library to be more inclusive, wellness-focused, and responsive to the needs of today's learners, including improved study spaces, a refreshed family study room, and community-centered design.
Over the next several months, we'll be sharing 25 Years in 25 Stories--highlighting the people and experiences that have shaped the library's legacy. And we'll be inviting you to join us for three special events this fall, including a student celebration and a community party honoring this milestone.
This campaign runs through November 7, 2025. Whether you're an alumn, a long-time supporter, or a first-time donor, you can make a real difference in the lives of SSU students.
Finals are just around the corner, and we're here to support you every step of the way!
From Sunday, May 4 through Friday, May 16, the library will be open 24 hours a day to give you the time and space you need to finish strong. Whether you're cramming for an exam, wrapping up a final paper, or just need a quiet place to focus, we'll be here for you, day and night.
But that's not all! We know finals can be stressful, so we're rolling out a few extras to help you stay fueled and refreshed:
And of course, if you need some help with your assignments, stop by or schedule an appointment with a librarian for some research help.
Whether you're powering through a late-night study session or just need a moment to relax, the library is your finals headquarters.
Good luck, Seawolves--you've got this!
