Live Reference

book collection we provide students, faculty, and staff with access to approximately
200 current periodical subscriptions, numerous online databases, nearly 2000 videos/DVDs,
and a unique menu collection.
As a member of the Higher Education Library Information Network (HELIN) and the Southeast Florida Library Information Network (SEFLIN), the students, faculty, and staff have remote access to the Library catalog and a broad range of online, scholarly resources. The Johnson & Wales reference staff provides links to subject-specific web resources.
NEWS: Speaking Volumes is the official newsletter for the North Miami Campus library. The mission of the Speaking Volumes is to enhance awareness among faculty, staff, and students about all aspects of library services. It is published monthly during the academic year (Sept-May). Each month's issue contains articles that inform readers about library events and/or the use of library resources. Faculty and staff receive a copy of Speaking Volumes in their mailboxes. Interested students are encouraged to pick up the newsletter at the entrance to the library.
Speaking Volumes 2008: May (470KB PDF) | April (248KB PDF) | March (383KB PDF)
NEWS: Paperback Riders Started in the Fall of 2003 the book club, known
as Paperback Riders, offers Johnson & Wales students, faculty, and staff a unique
opportunity unlike any other on campus. Members of this group work together to select
a variety of books for discussion. Once selected, members discuss the chosen books
through both e-mail as well as in-person discussions which take place at specific
times during the year. The purpose of the group is to facilitate the reading and
discussion of interesting and often award-winning books for the simple pleasure
of doing so. Discussions will include all manner of controversial and exciting facets
of the text. Membership is voluntary, open to everyone within the Johnson & Wales
academic community, and not associated with any specific class or major. If you
are interested in joining please stop by the library reference desk at any time.
