Managing Reading Room Appointments
- Log in to Aeon: https://s.uconn.edu/aeon
- Click on the “Appointments” tab.
- On the “Appointments” page select “New Appointment.”
- Under “Reading Room” select “John P. McDonald Reading Room.”
- Under “Appointment Date” navigate through the calendar and select your desired date from the available appointments. If you need to request an appointment further out than what is available, please email archives@uconn.edu for help.
- The “Length of Appointment” will default to 3 hours as we only offer two 3-hour appointment blocks (morning and afternoon).
- Under “Appointment Time” select if you would like an appointment during the morning block from 9am to 12pm or the afternoon block from 1pm to 4pm.
- Optional: You can add an “Appointment Name” to help yourself distinguish between different appointments, if desired. Simply type whatever you wish to name the appointment in the text field below “Appointment Name.”
- Click “Create Appointment.”
- Now that you have requested an appointment, you need to request materials to consult during your visit. See the “Requesting Materials” section of this guide for instructions.
- IMPORTANT: All appointment requests are considered unconfirmed until staff are able to review your request and ensure that we have available space in the reading room for you to conduct research. Please make sure you receive an "Appointment Confirmation" email from us before making your trip to campus.
