Welcome to UVM and to the Howe Library! This research guide is designed to help you find the most useful sources for your research, and to complete Part One of the assignment, "A Bit of Light Reading." Because of these unusual circumstances during fall 2020, I have emphasized online sources.
See Visiting the Howe Library and Fall 2020 Services for information about the library for fall 2020.
Library Hours: Sunday-Saturday 10:00 am-6:00 pm
Use your UVM NetID and password to log in to the UVM network through EZproxy before you begin your research, to access the UVM Libraries' licensed electronic resources, such as article databases, electronic journals, e-books, and more. Once you're logged in look for "ezproxy.uvm.edu" in the URL of the web page (e.g., http://library.uvm.edu.ezproxy.uvm.edu/) to ensure that you are connected to the UVM network. NOTE: 
after a database name indicates a licensed library database, restricted to UVM affiliates.
There are a variety of ways to get help remotely from the Howe Library reference librarians during this time. Have a question? Please ask us!
Contact me directly through e-mail (Patricia Mardeusz : patricia.mardeusz@uvm.edu) to ask a question or to schedule a time to "meet" virtually for an individual research consultation through Teams. Depending on your specific needs (e.g., not too complex), you may be able to schedule a "chat" session with me.
NOTE: If you want to schedule a "chat" with me individually, e-mail me so we can schedule a time and day. Then use the chat function in my "Profile" box on this page.
If you need real-time help, use our Ask A Librarian chat service below to ask a question. Beginning August 31, 2020, Reference Chat hours are: Mon-Thurs, 9 am-6 pm and Fri, 9 am-4 pm.
Note: If you see a message that says "chat unavailable" during chat "open hours," try refreshing your browser. It may be that two librarians are switching off with one another.
