Welcome  back! There are lots of new things that happened in the library over the summer:

1)We eliminated the use of library PINs for everyone with a Rice NetID.

2)Try onesearch–a new single search box to search our catalog and electronic resources.

3)Libguides–our new subjects guides.

4)Interlibrary Loan no longer has a special login and password. It uses your NetID and password.

5)Course reserves has a new look and feel. The new system will offer more features. It uses the Rice NetID and password for a login.

6)Reference assistance will be available at the circulation desk during evening hours.

7)Our new website is up: library.rice.edu

8)We rolled out a new proxy server. The new proxy server does not require a browser configuration.

9)Remember to bring your Rice ID card when you visit the library. You will need it to use the Express Check-out machines and to enter the building.

Are you a new International Student? We have lots of resources for you!

Looking for a tour? We have many scheduled or email me and schedule a special tour or class.
