Welcome to the Library's guide for Culinary Arts. Please use the tabs to find quality resources. If you need more assistance, please don't hesitate to contact me or any of the reference librarians. We're always happy to help!
The Library & LRCs have circulating books--which are books you can check out and take home with you--and non-circulating books--which are books that cannot go home with you. A patron make look at non-circulating materials anywhere in the library, make photocopies, or scan and email pages to oneself, but they must stay in the library.
