Undergraduate Library at Illinois

09/14/2021

Big changes are coming!

With the upcoming integration of Undergraduate Library collections and services into the Main Library, many exciting new changes are on the way! In order to provide the clearest messaging to you, we are retiring this page. Information about undergraduate services and events can now be found at University Library at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. Even in a different place, we’re here for you!

As of Tuesday, September 14th this page is no longer being updated. Please reach out to University Library at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign with any questions.

The Undergraduate Library page will be unpublished at the end of the 2021-2022 academic year.
