Welcome to Alkek Library. We have books, magazines, journals, and media (streaming and on DVD) about dance for your research.
This guide is intended to introduce you to the library's resources and how to find the information you need. If you need any help with your dance research, please don't hesitate to contact me.
You can use the Ask Us! service for questions about library resources, research assignments or other information. We offer Chat, Text, or you can also email a question to us. You can also make an online or face to face appointment with a reference librarian.
