Slope Day 2024 and Olin & Uris Libraries

Slope Day is Wednesday, May 8th.

Uris Library, including the Cocktail Lounge, will close at 8:00 am on May 8 and will reopen at 8:00 am on Thursday, May 9.  Contactless pickup at the Tower Entrance will remain open 24/7 with your Cornell ID.

Olin Library will be open from 8:00 am-6:00 pm but will be exit only from 12pm-6pm. If you are studying in Olin Library prior to 12:00 pm, you will be able to remain as late as 6:00 pm, but if you leave after noon on Slope Day, you will be unable to re-enter. 

The Amit Bhatia Libe Café will be open from 8:00 am to 12:00 pm on Slope Day.

We hope you will be outside enjoying the concert and taking a break before finals, but if study space is what you need, other campus libraries farther away from Libe Slope will have quiet space for you.

Instruction and Workshops

Register for Cornell University Library’s Fall 2023 Workshops!

Registration for the Fall 2023 slate of Library workshops is now open! Build skills in a variety of topics. Upcoming workshop topics include software like Zotero and Scrivener, database navigation, resource evaluation, market research, QGIS, and more! Offerings may be in person or over Zoom.

Can’t find time in your schedule to attend? Mann Library also offers pre-recorded workshops on Mendeley, EndNote, and Zotero.

In many cases, if there is sufficient interest in the department, a librarian could come to the department and do a workshop on a topic. Such requests can be made to a librarian directly or through the Library’s Request Course Instruction.

If you have any questions about the workshops or would like to suggest future workshop topics, please let us know by filling out the Ask a Librarian form.
