Meet Natalie Boucher: recipient of a UI Libraries Student Employee Scholarship
“The University of Iowa has a great English program.
Ultimately, though, I felt a deep sense of authenticity at the University of Iowa and knew this was the place for me. The beautiful campus, woven into the city, also helped sway me.
Working for the Business Library has helped lay the foundation I need to communicate professionally. I am seeking a future career in government or teaching at a community college, both of which require communicating at many different levels (e.g., boss, co-worker, student).
People ask many questions and request a vast amount of materials, which was quite surprising. Some people, including myself before I started working at the library, just think we check out books, which we do, but that is only one part of a unique job.
On top of being a full-time student, I also work fulltime hours between two jobs to cover college expenses.
Receiving this scholarship allows me to reduce my work hours and dedicate more time for studying.”
Welcome, everyone! Big changes have taken place in the library this summer. Come visit—and have a successful semester.
4TH Floor Renewal
The 4th-floor has been remodeled with new furniture and carpeting, plus a brighter decor. Sound absorbers along the stairs help maintain a “quiet zone”, ideal for undisturbed study.
Reserve a Group Room
… at our new service-desk kiosk! Each room also has a display at the door showing the day’s schedule.
Chargers, Calculators, and More
Is your phone running low? Does a class assignment require you to use a financial calculator? Browse our devices page to find what you need. Then, ask to borrow your selection at the service desk!
Updated Hours
Desk hours have changed. You can still contact us by chat (select times) or email (anytime). Staff will get back to you with an answer. Remember: the library space is available 24/7.
