The University of Delaware Library is
heavily used by graduate students in all
disciplines, many of whom consider it a
second home during their graduate studies.
Library collections include print,
electronic, film, digital media, microforms
and Special Collections. An in-depth array
of licensed electronic resources including
ejournals, ebooks and databases is
available only for use by current UD
students, faculty and staff through legally
binding licensing agreements. The
outstanding holdings of the Special
Collections Department include books,
manuscripts, maps, prints,
photographs and other
original resources from the
15th to the 21st century.
The Student Multimedia Design Center has 80
workstations, six studios,
two classrooms and a
variety of laptops, iPads,
cameras and digital
equipment available for use. Graduate
student carrels are available in the Morris
Library.
Library instruction services are available to
graduate students, with workshops on
topics like using RefWorks to organize
references for research. Instruction by
librarians from the Reference
Department and the Special
Collections Department to
classes focused on the
specific subject matter of a
course may be scheduled by
graduate teaching
assistants.
Graduate students are
frequent users of interlibrary
loan, through which non-UD materials can
be obtained at no charge to students.
