RYAN MATURA LIBRARY & SCHINE AUDITORIUM
In recognition of their long association with the University, the three-story Library built in 1968 was named for Mr. and Mrs. Robert Matura. The library has holdings of materials in all formats as well as online access to other library collections in the United States via the Internet. The Enterprise web access online catalog enables users to search the library's collections, and the Request online database allows users to search catalogs of selected libraries throughout Connecticut. Included in the library's holdings are 122,000 book titles including several special collections and 1,700 periodical subscriptions. Microfilm, audiovisual items, CD-ROM collections, and electronic databases (many full-text) are also available. Jandrisevits Learning Center is also located on lower floor of library.
