The River Campus Libraries are here to support your work, research, and experience during your time in Rochester. In today's class we'll start exploring the physical and digital spaces of the library. 

After today's session you will hopefully:

  • Have a deeper understanding of a few key library services
  • Feel more comfortable navigating the digital and physical spaces of the library

This is just an introduction, please reach out if you have any questions or would like any support on your research!

DiscoverUR

DiscoverUR searches many of the library's resources at once. This is a powerful, fast research tool!

For a basic search, enter your keywords in the search box. If necessary, use the filters on the left side of the search results page to narrow down your results.

Tip: When off-campus, you may be asked to log in with your NetID & password to access resources.
