These kiosks link patrons to key information such as floor maps, available services, research tools, FAQs, and the Ask a Librarian feature, helping users find their way around the library, uncover resources, and obtain assistance when required. Using affordable NFC tags, patrons can tap their smartphones to immediately reach a wide array of helpful content. Placed across the library’s four floors, the Information Stations also feature a “Resources for U” directory with curated Research Guides offering resources and services tailored to specific user groups.

Ms. Raysel Rivera joined the Calder Library in February 2026 as the Interlibrary Loan Manager, in charge of Interlibrary Loans and Document Delivery.

Previously, Raysel worked in the Department of Surgery at the Miller School of Medicine, where she learned to thrive in fast-paced, high-stakes environments. That experience helped her develop a strong work ethic and underscored the value of focus, collaboration, and remaining grounded under pressure.
