Welcome to the Richard Aronstam Memorial Library! We are located on the second floor of Manzanita Hall. The Richard Aronstam Library was established in March 2003 through a generous donation to the Department by Mrs. Elsie Aronstam. The Library is dedicated to her and her husband, Richard, who served as a Professor in the Department from 1961 until his death in 1969. This library is run by Communication Studies students and serves as the main resource center for Communication Studies majors. This library offers many books and communication research journals needed for student research. Among the journals that can be found here are:

In addition to these renowned journals, the Aronstam Library offers a wide selection of Great Speeches videotapes for student critiques; graduate school information; various books on communication theory, rhetoric, intercultural communication, mass communication, interpersonal communication, and research methods; as well as teachers' resources. The Aronstam library also features computers for student use. These computers contain word processing programs like Microsoft Word and WordPerfect. Additionally, they offer a high speed connection to the Internet and feature e-mail, file transfer, and web browsing capabilities. Xerox and printing services are also available for a nominal cost. Copy cards may be purchased from the Departmental office.
