Nap Pods, New SEAA Curator, Annual Report, and More
As another busy quarter comes to an end, UCI Libraries stays committed to serving our patrons. As in prior years, our Langson and Science Libraries will have extended library hours throughout finals week, with virtual reference support and the ANTswers AI chatbot available around-the-clock.
Throughout the term, it has been a joy to see students, faculty, and staff once again filling our facilities, taking advantage of our study spaces, and enjoying our campus and community programming. UCI Libraries continues to be an important partner in connecting knowledge, information, and people.
As we reflect on another successful season, I am pleased to share the latest edition of the UCI Libraries Annual Report, with stories about how the Libraries serve our community and thrive as the heart of the UCI campus. You'll find highlights from this year's report below. I also invite you to view the full report online or stop by our Libraries to pick up a print copy.
