About the Jeremy Richard Library at
UConn Stamford
Dr. Jeremy Richard
The Stamford campus library was named in 1991 for Jeremy Richard,
an esteemed and popular professor of English from 1980-1990, who
died at the age of 40. He was a widely published Shakespeare
specialist who frequently lectured at libraries around the state.
Dr. Richard left his personal library of over 2,000 books and 350
sound recording to the UConn Stamford library. In addition, a
cash bequest is being used for the acquisition of literary
journals. Click here to

Networked Resources
The Jeremy Richard Library is dedicated to serving the curricular
and research needs of the students and faculty of the University
of Connecticut. Opened in 1974, the library houses approximately
80,000 books and videos and over 600 journal titles in paper and
microfilm. The collection is particularly strong in the areas of
economics, English, history, political science, psychology,
sociology, management and business and information
technology.
Computer workstations are networked to the main campus and provide access to nearly 250 online databases, the Internet, and many full-text reference sources and journal articles. The library's catalog, HOMER, has been integrated with that of the main campus library and the other regional campus libraries of UConn. Articles and books owned within the UConn system, and beyond, can be obtained efficiently through the Libraries' Document Delivery/Interlibrary Loan service using an online form available through our webpage. The Libraries' homepage is the gateway to all resources and services.
Thomson-Reuters Corporation
A major gift from The Thomson-Reuters Corporation, headquartered in
Stamford, has enabled the University Libraries to install its
first wireless electronic classroom and the first application of
wireless technology on the Stamford campus. Dedicated on November
2, 2001, The Thomson e-Classroom includes dual LCD projectors,
VHS and DVD players, access to all of the University's networked
databases and the Internet. In the Spring 2002, the library
had been able to loan laptops to faculty for use in classrooms
and to student for use in study rooms and other areas of the
library. Click here to

Academic Liaison Program
The Academic Liaison Program provides faculty and students with a
personal contact for consultations and assistance with research
needs. For particular subject areas, a Librarian will design and
present an instructional session focusing on the
specific needs of the class. We encourage users to contact the
librarians with any special requests or to schedule an
instructional session. Click
