During the ITS Maintenance Weekend from June 4th – 7th, we will be updating the login experience for databases or other resources. When you’re off campus and trying to access a journal article or database like JSTOR or ProQuest, you will see the same login screen as when you sign in to your UNCW Outlook email account.
If you are on campus or using the UNCW VPN, you will not be prompted to log in.
Please contact us with any questions or concerns.
One of Randall Library’s vendors, Ex Libris, will be moving data centers over Memorial Day weekend. From May 29-30, 2021, there will be a system downtime for up to 24 hours. This downtime may affect linking to journal articles from search results in the library website search, Summon, and various databases like ProQuest and EBSCOhost. We apologize for the inconvenience. If you experience issues, please contact us.
Randall Library will be open to current UNCW students, staff, faculty, and community members beginning on May 7 with modified building and service hours.
North Carolina Executive Order 215, effective Friday, May 14, lifted the COVID-19 social distancing and capacity limits and, with a few exceptions, the face coverings requirement. Based on this Executive Order, face coverings will not be required at in Randall Library. Individuals who have not received a COVID-19 vaccination are still encouraged to wear a face covering indoors to protect themselves and others, especially those unable to be vaccinated due to underlying medical conditions or age. See Best for the Nest for more information about masks at UNCW.

You're invited to celebrate the end of a challenging academic year with the UNCW Chamber Choir, led by Dr. Aaron Peisner, who is thrilled to present a short, informal concert of choral works spanning three centuries. Take a break from writing your final papers or studying for exams to listen to beautiful works by composers including William Byrd, Henry Purcell, Anton Bruckner, and Edward Elgar.
The concert will take place on the west side portico of Randall Library, facing Wagoner Drive.
