If you need a study break before finals start rolling, join us in the new Coe Library Addition on April 27th from 8 to 10 pm.

Indulge yourself in cookies, coffee and tea, letting the sugar rush to your brain while the caffeine supplies that last minute burst of energy!

If you need primary sources for a project, the United Nation’s new World Digital Library might fit the bill. The library includes over 1,200 high-resolution digitized copies of documents and photographs from all over the world, from ancient times to the present. You can search by keyword, location, era, and more.

You’ll find documents like the Declaration of Independence, the Tale of Genji, and numerous maps and travel diaries. Modern content includes photographs of a young George W. Bush, as well as the 1972 hitchhiker seen above with his dog, Tripper.

Wondering how to get into Coe Library? The doors on 13th Street closed today and all entering and exiting will now be through the brand-spanking new doors!

You can find the new doors on the North side of the new Coe Library addition. You may access the entrance via the Union parking lot, via the sidewalk from 13th Street between the Union and Coe Library, or via the sidewalk from Ivinson Street that runs between the Business Building and Coe Library.

Questions? We’re happy to help and we look forward to seeing you in the new addition!

The Book and Bean Cafe re-opened today in the new Coe Library Addition. Stop by their new digs on the first floor next to the new entrance and across from the 24-hour computer lab. They have beautiful windows, new seating, and a much improved space!

University of Wyoming reference librarian Michael Nelson received the 2009 Agnes Milstead Award for Distinguished Librarianship on April 16, 2009 in recognition of his long-standing commitment to scholarship, collection building, and outstanding reference service.  I think I can speak for all of our colleagues when I say that if you have a question about advanced searching or reference sources, or you are curious about the multiple perspectives on a thorny reference or collection issue, Mike is the man to ask first!  Congratulations on a well deserved award!

The move has begun and the new addition will open to the public soon!

Take a look at the beautiful new Coe Library below.
