Let's start the academic year strong! Here's how we can support you....

  • DiMenna-Nyselius Library building hours are posted on our homepage under the large catalog search box. There is also 24/7 study space in the Innovation Lab and Cafe via StagCard swipe. View hours here.
  • Access our resources by searching our catalog, or through our Research Guides. We also have Citation Guides and Tutorials.
  • Our friendly librarians are here to help you! They can help you find and cite sources, brainstorm topics and research strategies, and provide study tips. View all the ways to get help from a research librarian. Drop-in hours start on 9/2. FYI, our 24/7 chat box is staffed by real librarians - it is not an AI tool!
  • Reserve our study rooms from the Library homepage by clicking our Reserve a Room link. 
    • Need a space to work with a group and you didn't book a room? Try the "Collaboratories" on the lower level, which is a drop-in space for group work.
  • Your StagCard is your Library card! Borrow materials at the Library Services & Information Desk. View borrowing policies here.
    • We added new items to our "Library of Things Collection" such as a ukulele, mini steel drum, under the desk pedal exerciser, portable computer monitor, and a croquet set for the lawn! You can also borrow free museum passes to the Bruce Museum (Greenwich, CT), Wadsworth Museum (Hartford, CT), and Guggenheim (NYC). View all items here.
  • We have a lot to offer but we don't have everything so if you need a journal article or book, we can try to get it for you (at no cost to you) through our Interlibrary Loan service. Just sign in with your NetID, or make a quick account if you are a first-time user, and submit your requests.
  • We ship physical items to 100% remote students and faculty (at no cost to you)!
  • Make appointments to meet with Writing Center and Math Center tutors. Appointments should be available starting the second or third week of the semester and hours will be posted to their sites. The Science Center posts tutoring times on Life@Fairfield.
  • We recruit members for the Student Library Advisory Board at this time each year. Apply by 9/24.
  • We have added a TON of new events to our library calendar from academic to wellness to civic engagement. See our Study Skills flyer graphic below! View all library events here.
  • We will be presenting an exciting archival exhibition this semester, curated by Dr. Jay Rozgonyi, Master Filmmaker, Man of Courage: William Wyler in World War II with a documentary screening on October 8th at 7pm. The exhibit will open on Sept. 16th and run through the end of the semester.
  • Want to collaborate on an event, book display, exhibit, or anything else? Get in touch with us! Email Lisa Thornell lthornell@fairfield.edu
