Due to inclement weather, classes at the AVERY POINT and STAMFORD campuses beginning at noon or later are canceled on Monday, February 3 for the remainder of the day.

These campuses will remain open for business, however, employees should always put their safety first when making travel decisions. Please visit http://alert.uconn.edu for details and updates.

Nothing is more important than your safety. Please drive carefully.
**********************

All UConn-Stamford classes starting after 12:00 p.m. on February 3, 2014 are canceled. The building will remain open until 5:00 p.m.

UPDATE: The Jeremy Richard Library will open at its normal hours today 8:00AM-9:00PM.

UConn-Stamford will be on a normal operating schedule for Wednesday, January 22, 2014.

• Faculty members scheduled to teach who decide it is unsafe for them to travel to campus must notify their students as soon as possible that their class is cancelled.
• Faculty should respect the decisions of commuting students who decide not to travel to campus and provide options for them to make up missed work.
• Students should contact their professors as soon as possible if they must miss a class or other activity due to weather conditions.

• Always consider safety first. Weather and road conditions may vary considerably across the state, so all members of the University community must evaluate the circumstances they face.
• Even when the University remains open for business, individuals may appropriately decide not to come to campus or to leave campus early.
• In these situations, employees may use a vacation day, personal time, or other accrued time without advance approval, but they must notify their supervisors that they are doing so.

The University continues to emphasize the paramount importance of safety. Faculty, staff, and students should evaluate their own circumstances carefully, exercise appropriate judgment, and take responsibility for their safety when making decisions during inclement weather.

Hi everyone,

Here’s our JRL Spring 2007 Newsletter which includes various newsworthy library happenings. Enjoy,

On Monday July 31, 2006, NetLibrary will proudly introduce the all-new NetLibrary 4.0, a major site upgrade that will provide improved search performance, a fresh new look and feel, and powerful new navigation tools.

Some slight changes have been made to searching for the LexisNexis database in our Electronic Resources page (research database locator).

There are now *two* LexisNexis entries, one called LexisNexis News & the other LexisNexis Legal, which link directly either to the News search page or to the Legal Research page.

1. The News link goes to the Guided News page, with the News Category defaulting to “general news” and the “news source” defaulting to “Major Papers.”

2. The Legal link goes to the long list of options available in LexisNexis under the “Legal Research” link.

The ELibrary mailbox is a great tool intended for reporting database problems. Examples of questions that could be sent to ELibary include: inaccessible databases, error messages from ejournal list, dead links from Homer, etc. Queries are checked daily and the response rate is within 2 days.
