Hello and welcome back! Here at the Library we hope your semester is off to a good start. We have many updates that we are excited to share with you.

Resources

  • Upgraded Zotero subscription to UNLIMITED storage space. Current Zotero users, and new users, can enjoy unlimited storage space to attach pdfs and other files. Zotero is an application that collects, manages, and cites research sources. See the Library’s Zotero guide for more information about how to sign up for an account.
  • OverDrive via the Libby app. OverDrive provides access to popular audiobooks and ebooks. Download the Libby app to read and listen on a mobile device. If you already use the Libby app through your public library, add Fairfield University to your list of libraries. Sign in with your NetID.
