This summer Ramaker Library began creating subject guides for students. These guides, named LibGuides, are intended to help you begin researching in a topic. We understand that the library can be a confusing place at times; there are just so many online and print resources that it can be difficult to know where to look for information.
These guides point you to the best databases, reference books and journals we have. We also offer tips on how to conduct searches and how to use interlibrary loan. Some guides also include industry news, recommended web sites and even podcasts.
While we do not have subject guides created for every subject, we are continuing to add new ones frequently. 
To see what is currently available, visit our LibGuides home page. You can also click the Subject and course guides button on the Ramaker web site.
On the mezzanine (aka top floor) of Ramaker Library, we have a collection of works that faculty have contributed to and written. This fall, we are highlighting the works of two Northwestern faculty.
Professor Michael Yoder began teaching Sociology at Northwestern in 1982. While his work has explored many topics in sociology, one of his greatest scholarly accomplishments was completing a census of the Mennonite church. Having lived in both Brazil and Costa Rica, Dr. Yoder also has a heart for Latin American culture.
For those of you interested in music, we reorganized the Kooiker Music Collection. Everything is now arranged together for easier browsing and locating.
