The Elihu Burritt Library Research Awards recognize excellence in undergraduate and graduate research papers/projects as well as skill and creativity in the application of library services, resources and collections.
As you join CCSU’s Elihu Burritt Library in celebrating National Library Week, please support our Textbook Reserve Fund! This fund underwrites textbooks that are available on reserve for CCSU students.
This is a reminder that the Elihu Burritt Library will be closed for the Easter holiday weekend from Friday, April 2, 2021 through Sunday, April 4, 2021. To see all library hours, please review our calendar.
Stop by in front of Burritt Library on September 9 from 12:00 pm – 2:00 pm for free Farmer’s Cow ice cream (while supplies last). It’s delicious! For more information about Farmer’s Cow go to: http://www.thefarmerscow.com/icecream/
The library website is being renovated too! A preview of the new site is available at http://library.ccsu.edu/newsite. Your comments and feedback are most welcome! The library would like to offer its profuse thanks to Nancy Florio and Wit Meesangnil for their help in designing the new site. The current site will be replaced on Friday, August 20th.
The 2010 Elihu Burritt Undergraduate Research Awards winners are:
Junior, Laci A. Corridor for her paper “Anorexia Nervosa: A Review of Current Literature,” and Senior Gregory L. Person for his paper, “What gives you sovereign empire to oppress my sex? Women’s conceptualizations of gender and class during the French Revolution”. They will receive their award certificates and $350 prize at the URCAD ceremony on April 9, 2010.
Congratulaions Greg and Laci and thank you to all the participants. Everyone did a great job!
The first phase of the long-awaited renovation of the first floor of Burritt Library has begun. During this time only certain areas of the first floor will be accessible while asbestos abatement is ongoing.
The main level of the library can be accessed by the interior and exterior stairways located at the front of the building. Restrooms can be accessed only by the southernmost interior or exterior stairways (the side toward Copernicus). Those who require elevator access from the first floor may enter the building through the side door adjacent to the parking lot, and then use the phone across from the elevators for access.
We thank you for your patience as we undergo an exciting transformation! When completed the first floor of Burritt will be the main entry to the Library.
We’re pleased to announce the winners of the 2009 Library Undergraduate Research Awards. They are Matthew T. Bannon, a senior History/Secondary Education major, for the paper “Delicate as Silk: Labor/Management Relations in the Cheney Silk Mills of South Manchester, Connecticut, 1918-1934,” and Sharon E. Kenniston, a senior Elementary Education and English major, for the paper “Unspeakable Things Unspoken: Toni Morrison, Literature Censorship and the Modern American Classroom.” The awards will be presented on Friday April 3 in conjunction with the Undergraduate Research and Creative Achievement Day (URCAD). Congratulations to our winners!
