Mezzanine A

J.D. William’s Library Unseen Collections
Did you know the J.D. Williams Library has a hidden floor that contains original theses dating back to the mid 1900’s?  Mezzanine A, with an entrance near Starbucks, has over 5,500 theses shelved. If in search of research or support on a specific topic one is 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 treasure.
