As the fall 2010 semester gets started, the UConn libraries want to make sure your year runs smoothly.

So here are three tips to give you a jump start.

The Library website is your pitstop for research, information about library locations and hours and the collections and services we have just for you. www.lib.uconn.edu

You can park yourself at the study spaces we have available at all of our libraries that support both individual and group work.

If you have questions come by and see us or use our ask-a-librarian service that connects you with a librarian both online and in person for research help or questions about the library.
