The DNL Report

Welcome to the new graduate and undergraduate students starting their Fairfield University academics this month!

Some of you may have heard us speak at virtual orientations over the past week. There was a lot of information to take in but we hope you will remember that WE ARE HERE FOR YOU! We can not only help you with your research questions but also with referring you to other departments and services if you don't know where to turn. Check out our Ask a Librarian page for all the ways to get in touch with a librarian, including our 24/7 chat service.

The Library building will reopen on Feb. 10th but our resources and services are still available in the meantime, including our physical collections. Be sure to read our blog, The DNL Report, for the latest library updates, and follow us on Instagram or Twitter @fairfieldulib

Each challenger will have their own Quip document made for them to log their books but will be able to look at other
