Loan Period Extended

Starting July 1, faculty, staff, graduate students, and honors students are able to check out books for six months and renew them online five times, thus allowing books to be borrowed for three years before they must be returned. Although books may be borrowed for up to 3 years, they are still subject to RECALL under this new policy.

Library Website down

Posted on by

UPDATE: The library website is operational.
10:30am 8/1/07

The UConn Libraries website is currently down. We are looking into the problem and hope to have it back up and running soon. Another alternative to searching for books in the UConn Libraries system is reQuest, the state-wide library catalog.

UConn Libraries Backup page. This page is intended only to provide our users basic functionality in the midst of a crisis when our library website is unavailable. Please note, depending on the extent of the problem, some of the links below may not work.

We apologize for the inconvenience.
