Welcome to Academic Year 2022-23!

We are delighted to be able to welcome you back to the library, and to our in-person orientation activities, even while movement around the library is still somewhat inhibited by construction activities, including window replacement in the 200 level stacks, and refurbishment of our “west wing.” We have a schedule of library tours and workshops lined up for you during the next few weeks, and look forward to greeting you there.

 

To start with, during the next two weeks Ria Koopmans de Bruijn will be leading physical tours, explaining the basics of using our library. No sign-up is required for these. The schedule is as follows:

Tuesday, September 6 @ 11:00 AM                      Monday, September 12 @ 3:00 PM

Wednesday, September 7 @ 3:00 PM                  Tuesday, September 13 @ 11:00 AM

Thursday, September 8 @ 3:00 PM                      Wednesday, September 14 @ 3:00 PM

Friday, September 9 @ 11:00 AM                          Thursday, September 15 @ 11:00 AM

(The tours start just inside the library entrance)

 

Then, starting the week of September 26, there will be area-specific workshops during which our area specialists will introduce you to the most important resources for your studies. Due to limited seating, these workshops do require a sign-up. The sessions will take place in our Kress seminar room.
