Director's Welcome
Dear Faculty; Students:
     On behalf of the University Library family, I would like to welcome you to our library, a place rich in information, knowledge and diversity.
     As the University’s scholarly information center, we are strongly committed to providing the highest standards for accessible, reliable, innovative, and courteous service which will support you in your academic endeavors. The Libraries' resources cover your information needs in almost every area and level of learning. Our website, continually expanded and improved, includes: Sterling, a Web-based catalog; bibliographic, full-text, numerical, and multimedia files; as well as links to significant sites on the WWW. It's a true digital library! Explore it in the library, your residence or office, on or off-campus.
     Today, one can safely predict that those students that will flourish in the ever changing environment of the 21st century will have capitalized on their information skills. "The difference between those who get it and those who don't is no longer incremental
it's a quantum leap."
     Our staff can assist you in meeting your individual learning needs and in empowering you to use information technology to meet those needs. I invite you to take full advantage of these opportunities.
     Whatever your interests, we are committed to making your learning experience at Howard an enjoyable and rewarding one.
     Mohamed Mekkawi
