Finding Books
When it comes to finding books, the only difference is the layout of the stacks. You will still search the UConn Library catalog on the homepage but you may need to travel a little further to pick the books up. This page has information about finding books in the library. If you have any difficulty, you can always submit a request for books to be pulled and waiting for you at the Homer Babbidge Library iDesk. See this page for more information about that service.
