| New Students and Parents | |
| Welcome to NDSCS… …And welcome to Mildred Johnson Library, your resource to information no matter what your program may be. We invite you to spend time in the library, whether studying, doing research, or simply taking a break from classes. The library has space for students to work individually or in small groups, a comfortable reading area with lounge chairs and a fireplace, and computer workstations for online work. We look forward to seeing all NDSCS students here over the coming year. |
|
| While we continue to have many traditional library materials, we also have many electronic versions of books, magazines and journals, newspapers, and other resources. Your Library Card is your student ID card, and your barcode number and your last name are your login to library services, once your card is activated by library staff. | |
