The second (main) floor is the talking floor and is perfect for group work. An academic atmosphere permeates all three floors, making the Library conducive to any sort of scholarly pursuit. The Honors Program, Undergraduate Research, Writing Center satellite, and Veteran&#8217;s Lounge all share quarters on the main floor of the Library. Combining those assets with the Library\u2019s own resources and services creates academic synergy that will help fuel your study time.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright\" src=\"http:\/\/www.uww.edu\/images\/library\/blog\/group_monitor.jpg\" alt=\"group study room with monitor\" height=\"100\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Having a librarian nearby to help jump-start your research is another plus for students (though <a target+\"_blank\" title=\"Ask a Librarian\" href=\"http:\/\/library.uww.edu\/get-help\/ask-a-librarian\"><em>Ask a Librarian<\/em><\/a> chat is available 24X7).
