Find Everything in the Libraries’ Collections with One Search
The Libraries have introduced a new search tool that will enable users to do just one search to find the resources they need.
Functioning as a library catalog, a journal locator, a database locator, and a large full-text article database, the new search tool enables users to enter terms into a web-like search box to obtain licensed content from the Libraries’ entire collection. The technology behind the new search tool is called “Summon™,” and is provided by Serials Solutions®, a business unit of ProQuest®.
To use the new all-encompassing search tool, labeled “Everything @ UConn,” just insert a topic of interest. Users may then refine their search and specify parameters such as content type, subject, or date. For a more sophisticated search by, for example, author or journal title, users should use the “Advanced Search” option.
"Everything@UConn" - Try it!

As our first snowstorm of the season approaches, I’d like to bring to your attention the various means for which you can keep yourself updated as to early releases, delays, or closings announcements. Please keep in mind any decision will take into account your personal safety.
There are basically 5 ways to do be kept informed: TV, Radio, UConn Stamford web site, Emergency Line, and Email blasts to Students, Faculty & Staff. We encourage everyone to take advantage of these should we anticipate severe weather.
Please familiarize yourself with our detail procedures found posted the Stamford campus web site http://stamford.uconn.edu/emergency_closing.html. Announcements will be broadcasted several hours in advance of the usual campus opening time 7 a.m., but please check frequently as conditions may change.
