Finding Karen, the Music & Fine Arts Librarian

Hello from Karen Olson, your friendly Music and Fine Arts Librarian (and from Citlalli, her cat!)

I'm usually in Halvorson Music Library on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. My office is to the right as you enter the music library.

I usually work out of Rolvaag on Tuesdays and Fridays. To get to my Rolvaag office, go past the main desk and turn right at the spiral staircase into the reference area. There's a small corridor of offices running along the back of the space; my office, 306, is on the end of that corridor.

Please note: I'm taking an online Swedish class Tuesdays at 4, so I will not be available for consultations then.
