The Information & Research Services (I & RS) unit strives to provide high quality services at Cooper Library, Gunnin Architecture Library, and the Education Media Center in order to support the University’s research, teaching, and innovation goals. I & RS utilizes a team approach and encourages collaboration throughout the unit so that we are better able to serve our customers.
