Where? Java City on the First Floor of Randall Library.
Refreshments will be available.
Please join us for this event which is part of the Family and Alumni Weekend.
For more information on Synergy, please visit UNCW's Common Reading website here: http://www.uncw.edu/commonreading/
A new exhibit at the library's entrance features UNCW sports photography, artifacts from the Olympic Games, as well as books from our collection.
Inspired by the Games of the XXX Olympiad, we are displaying photos by UNCW Photographer Jamie Moncrief and UNCW Associate Athletic Director Joe Browning. Supplementing the photographs are enlarged copies of stamps found in Randall Library Special Collections, including:
MS 184 Dr. Ralph Werner Brauer Personal Papers
MS 319 Stuart Alexander and Sandy Cole Marks Collection
Special thanks to parttime Randall employee Mr. Mervin Hogg for allowing us to reproduce stamps from his personal collection.
Books on display are available for checkout. Please see a member of our Circulation staff for assistance.
Randall Library is happy to announce the addition of two new pieces of art to our collection. Visit the Learning Commons near RM 1045 to see local artist Mike Penny's "Out Early" and local artist Cheryl McGraw's "Pelican Runner". Both purchased from a recent exhibit at the MC Erny Gallery at WHQR, these paintings honor the plight of our local pelican and help support Randall Library's commitment to collect and maintain art from Southeastern North Carolina.
Looking for summer reading? Visit the UNCW collection on the Internet Archive.
UNCW has participated in an exciting project to digitize historical and current publications about the university. This project was made possible through the LYRASIS Mass Digitization Collaborative – a Sloan Foundation grant-subsidized program making digitization easy and affordable for libraries and cultural institutions across the country.
Through the Collaborative’s partnership with the Internet Archive, items were scanned from cover-to-cover and in full color. You can choose from a variety of formats: page through a book by choosing the “read online” option, download the PDF or Kindle file, or search the full text version.
To view and search these collections, simply visit Internet Archives: UNCW Collection, also linked from Randall Library Digital Collections, the Randall Library A-Z E-resources list, and UNCW Archives and Special Collections.
The most frequently viewed book in the UNCW collection is UNCW Magazine (1990-1995). It has been downloaded more than 1,300 times since June 2011.
Visit the news item on the Archives & Special Collections news item for more information, including a list of all the UNCW titles included.
For updates on the library’s most recently added titles, check out our new materials lists, which include links to the catalog record for each item. We also have printable (pdf) lists and subject based RSS feeds of new titles that are updated each month.
Our hours during the summer months vary depending on whether school is in session or not. Check our Hours calendar or this Hours schedule (pdf) to see when we are open!
The UNCW Archives and Randall Library Special Collections websites have been merged and completely re-designed to coincide with the launch of our new Archives and Special Collections Database.
On the new website you will find:

Randall Library will begin 24/7 service for the spring 2012 exam period beginning Sunday, April 29 at noon. We will be open 24 hours a day until Tuesday, May 8 when the Library closes at 10:00 p.m. A valid UNCW OneCard is required for entrance from 8 p.m. until 7 a.m. in the morning.
To assist students with studying for final exams, Randall Library and the ITS Equipment Checkout service will also be open 24 hours a day from April 29 through May 8. During this timeframe, laptops can be checked out at the ITS Equipment Checkout desk and used within Randall Library and at Dub's Café. The laptops, which are available for up to four hours at a time, are usually confined solely to the library.
For information about Randall Library hours, see http://library.uncw.edu/hours.
For information about our overflow study space options at Dub's Cafe, see Additional Study Space During Finals.
The evening hours during exam time have traditionally been some of Randall Library's most busy open hours. We know it is sometimes difficult to find space to study or even sit.
In response to student concerns, Academic Affairs has worked cooperatively with Business Services and arranged for additional study space.
Dub’s Café, located in the Warwick Center, will open each night at 9:00 p.m. and close at 12 midnight beginning Sunday, April 29 and ending Monday, May 7. Free food snacks and temporary electrical outlets will be available for students. The area will be staffed by a Security Guard hired and trained by the University Police. Dub's Cafe is UNCW's second and newest dining hall.
Having an additional space where students can sit, study, and plug in promises to help students who have had difficulty finding places in the Library in previous semesters.
