Libraries/Learning Services

Knight Library

The Knight Library, considered the main branch of the University of Oregon Library System, has a collection of computer science journals and books, including books and publications that professors may place on reserve in the Reserve Book Room. If a publication is unavailable in the UO Library, the interlibrary loan service can help to locate it through other libraries in the Oregon State System of Higher Education. See a librarian to learn about interlibrary loan. NOTE: the UO library catalog system (the JANUS system) is on line, and can be browsed via http://libweb.uoregon.edu/.

Math Library

The Math Library, another branch of the U.O. Library System, is located in 210 Fenton.

Science Library

The Science Library forms another branch and is located in the basement of the Onyx Bridge building.

A note regarding "Waiving Confidentiality"

Please consider waiving your rights to the confidentiality of records on materials you have checked out of the UO libraries. Waiving this right means that if someone requests a particular book you have checked out, that person may contact you to determine when the book will be available. In many cases, the person who contacts you will be a colleague. Waiving your right to confidentiality will help you and your peers trace materials currently on loan from the library.

Academic Learning Services

The ALS Center is located in Room 64 PLC, 6-3226. ALS provides assistance to students in a variety of ways: academic courses (Introduction to University Studies and College Reading Skills), research skills, speed-reading, writing and math workshops, and general study skills. The Teaching Effectiveness Program, a division of the ALS Center, is a good resource for GTFs. http://tep.uoregon.edu/

Reference Material - Other Sources

Authors

Students may wish to write directly to the author(s) of technical reports or journal articles. If two authors are listed for a particular article, write to both of them for reprints. Often you will receive a copy of the latest version of the author's work. You may also be added to a mailing list to receive reprints of the author's most recent papers.

Technical Reports

Graduate students can get copies of technical reports produced by our department (no charge) from the graduate coordinator (120 Deschutes). CIS faculty also have extensive collections of technical reports from other universities, which can be borrowed and photocopied.

Collaboration Center

One of the purposes of the Collaboration Center is to provide a place for people to try out different pieces of technology. Currently the center features three interactive Smart Boards for students, faculty, and staff to use.

The center also houses the resources of the former Documents Room Library, including books, magazines, training CDs and DVDs, and some licensed software. Anyone is welcome to use the collection and borrow materials. Simply show us a current UO ID card or other piece of identification, such as a driver's license.
