Serra Member Services

December 20, 2011

We are sorry to report that due to budget cuts Serra staff will no longer be handling reference questions and ILL requests.
Serra Committees will be meeting mid-January to redesign these services.
Please check this website for updates.

It has been a pleasure working with you for all of these years.

Sincerely,

The Serra Staff
