Dear BGS Students:
At the start of a new semester in an academic year marked by change and uncertainty, the Penn Libraries continues to adapt to the “new normal” created by COVID-19, developing innovative ways to support and facilitate scholarship and research.
As your librarian, I can help you navigate Library resources to find exactly what you need, just email me at dmanuel@upenn.edu
