J.D. Williams Library’s Unseen Collection

Did you know the J.D. Williams Library has a hidden floor that contains original theses dating back to the mid 1900s? Mezzanine A, with an entrance near Starbucks, has more than 5,500 theses shelved. If you’re in search of research or support on a specific topic, you’re bound to find a primary source here.

“In Mezzanine A, we have topics ranging from chemical engineering to journalism,” said Alex Watson,  a reference librarian.

Before venturing to this hidden space, it is recommended to visit the library’s website and search for a topic in the online database. Once searched, every original work, based on the desired topic, will appear on the screen for you to sift through to find an appropriate source. 

If used correctly, this unused area, may be one man’s or woman’s treasure. 

                                 More than 5,500 theses are housed in the J.D. Williams Library.
