UConn Library
Jeremy Richard Library, StamfordToday we gave some basic instruction to students in HDFS 225 and EN 104 on how to find articles for their research assignment.
In the end I hope students know they should go to the Library’s homepage at
Library Home Page and click “Most Used Databases” on the far left to get to the most used databases that house full-text journal articles. The library has subscriptions to over 240 databases but the link for “All Databases” will get them to the whole list of library database.
Still need help? Visit your class specific web site created by the Stamford Library Liaisions.
These library web pages were designed for specific courses taught at the UConn Stamford campus. They list important research tools, web sites and other information pertinent to doing research for the course.
You may have noticed the security certificate problem or expiration message when going into NetID and/or WebCT. UITS is working on updating the certificates.
It should not prohibit access.
The University has arranged special pricing agreements for students through the UConn Co-op Bookstore and Dell Computer Corporation. While you are encouraged to seek out pricing that will meet your needs and finances, these are great opportunities for you to use.
The Stamford Faculty & Staff Publications page is an ongoing project. If any faculty or staff members have any new materials they would like updated and/or posted, please send me the information.

What is a One Card?
Your One Card is your UCONN issued photo ID.
Where do I get my One Card?
Have your photo taken at the Registrar’s Office in Room 202.
How do I use my One Card?
Starting Spring 2005, you can use the money on your One Card to photocopy and print documents at the Library and Microlab.
Your One Card is also your Library Card!
Students, if you are having problems printing the pdf documents/assignments from WebCT from our SuperHomer computers, try saving your document to the computers desktop or the Local Temp Directory. The directory has been renamed “Scratch.”
To do this :
SAVE AS…Desktop….or….Local Temp Directory… SCRATCH…thenameofyourdocument.pdf
(or save on a diskette)
Minimize your WebCT window and go to the desktop or local Temp Directory SCRATCH folder to find your document. Try opening up the PDF document this way and PRINT or save to your disk.
Don’t forget to use the Microlab facilities to print as well.
