Library Collections at the Regional Campuses

Each of the University's five regional campuses-Avery Point, Stamford, Torrington, Waterbury, and West Hartford-maintains a library dedicated to serving the academic programs in those communities.

The libraries at Storrs and the libraries at the regional campuses share a single catalog and form a single distributed collection; each library unit serves as a full gateway to the entire collection. Physical materials and copies of articles and chapters are quickly delivered from point to point in response to user need.

All of the UConn Libraries benefit from the joint collecting of online networked resources, including electronic research databases, e-journals, e-books, full text reference tools and full text primary source materials. These extensive networked resources are easily accessible by all members of the University community regardless of campus location.

Waterbury

The majority of the students at the Waterbury campus are in the College of Liberal Arts & Sciences or the Bachelor of General Studies program, so the main focus of the collections is on the humanities and social sciences. As a Tri-Campus partner, with Torrington and West Hartford, the library supports the Bachelor of Science degree in Business and Technology and the Bachelor of Arts degree in Urban and Community Studies, both of which can be earned within the Tri-Campus. As new programs, such as American Studies and Nursing, are introduced to the campus community, library collecting plans are adjusted to serve those needs.
