Laptops and Group Study Rooms

Check out a laptop or reserve a group study room at Steenbock Library.

Visit the Laptop Checkout System page to find an available laptop from campus lab locations. In addition to PC or Mac laptops, you can use this system to find available cameras (still or video) and projectors.

Reserve a group study room online with the Study Room Reservation system page. This online system can enable you to search for rooms by date and location, find amenities and policy information regarding use of the rooms and place reservations, as needed, at College, Ebling, Memorial and Steenbock libraries.

Wisconsin Welcome

Welcome to UW-Madison! There is a lot happening on and near campus this weekend and during the first week of classes. Check out the schedule of campus events, tours and meet-ups.

Additionally, you may wish to take in the Dane County Farmers’ Market at the capitol square on Saturday morning, and then hang around for the Labor Day weekend, Taste of Madison (which will start at 2:00PM, Saturday).

Lots of food and live entertainment--what more can you ask?!

Fall Workshop Calendar

Drop by Steenbock to learn about some of the library resources and services that can make your campus work easier. Whether you would like to harness a citation management product or to search more effectively using Google or the MadCat Catalog, we have a workshop for you.

Plan to attend any of the workshops on the current fall schedule. If you cannot attend one of these particular workshops, individual or small group sessions can be arranged. Send us a request using our online form.

All workshops are free and include hands-on time to explore the resource. No reservations are necessary. Check message boards near the front entrance for room location.

The Mindset List

Beloit College has released its annual Mindset list. While it is important to note that this list does not wholly account for knowledge and experience, it does serve to capture a state of affairs—be it popular culture, technology or political situation—within the lifespan of the traditional, incoming college student.

It certainly lends itself well to discussion and reflection upon where we’ve been and where we may be heading (and, sigh, just how long some of our experience has been).

Is there anyone else out there with tartan flares and a Bay City Rollers LP?
