You can keep current in your research field by subscribing to alert services that a number of databases and publishers of journals offer.

UConn FullText? is an OpenURL link resolver–a service designed to link you to online full-text journal articles. When journals are not available online, UConn FullText? offers links to HOMER and Document Delivery/Interlibrary Loan. This service can save you a lot of time, but it does not always work perfectly. Find out more about UConn FullText?, why it does not always work well, and what to expect in the future.
The Reserve Department at Jeremy Richard Library will be clearing out old Reserve materials which we have stored here in the Library. If you have personal copies of books or journal articles that you will not be using in the Summer sessions or Fall, please stop by and pick them up.
Please be aware that if materials are not picked up, journal articles will be discarded and books may be added to our Collection. Please stop by to look over your materials as soon as possible.
Thanks so much for your cooperation in this matter.

Dear Faculty,
If you are teaching this summer 2005, please advise me of your Reserve needs ASAP. I want to have all materials ready for students on the first day of class. Thanks for your kind attention.

You can also track the progress of your requests by choosing the “View Articles Online” menu button. This button not only will allow you to view your new PDF documents, but it will also allow you to track the progress of the requests you place using our new forms.
