Spring 2025 Semester Newsletter

I am proud to share this community and service themed installment with you today.  I say it often, the University Libraries are more than a repository of books. We are a vibrant, evolving space where students, faculty, staff, and the entire community can come together to learn, to grow, and also to serve. 

The University at Albany celebrated the opening of the Great Dane Hall of Service in the University Library on May 7, 2025. 

"As a UAlbany alum myself (MSIS 2011), I know firsthand how important it is for students to feel welcome in and connected to our city. Being an Albany Public Library member provides students and residents with many opportunities for shared experiences, and we are so excited to make it even easier for UAlbany students to get a library card," said Deanna DiCarlo, Head of Branch Services at Albany Public Library. 

Education Curriculum Collection Coordinator Adrienne Emery and graduate student intern Tugba Gundogmus join the Library Update newsletter for an interview on this exciting, new collection.

The student workforce had a busy spring semester, highlighted by internships, Showcase presentations, awards, and commencement!
