Dear All,

My apologies for the delay in updates, but there has been a flurry of activity lately with the start of the academic year and little time left for writing!

Here is a brief update:

The UConn Libraries are currently revising their strategic plan, so if you have comments about ways in which the library can improve, things you like, things you don’t like, please let us know!  Feel free to leave your comments here on this blog!
