Rensselaer Troy and Hartford Libraries Integration

Effective August 25^th, the first day of fall semester classes, Rensselaer’s Troy Folsom and Hartford Cole campus libraries will be integrated.  All online, electronic library materials that have been available to Troy campus students will also be available to Hartford campus students via the unified online website – RensSearch (Rensselaer Libraries).   In addition, Hartford campus students will utilize the online interlibrary loan function of RensSearch to order print materials and journal articles from Troy.  The materials will be delivered to Hartford student’s homes via UPS, along with a pre-paid mailer for return delivery.  Hartford students will also have access to the RensSearch Ask A Librarian reference service.

If Hartford students have any questions about the integration, please contact Linda Knaack at knaacl2@rpi.edu or by phone at 860.548.2493. 

SUMMER LIBRARY HOURS

Library staff will be intermittently available during the summer. Library hours during the week will remain the same, but the library will be closed on Saturdays, except for Saturday, August 2 and Saturday, August 9. We will be open on those two Saturdays to allow students to study for finals and finish up projects.

If you find the library unstaffed and need immediate technical assistance, please call 548-5311.
 
If you need research help or assistance with a library resource, leave a message at 548-2490, or email lib-info@ewp.rpi.edu. We will get back to you within one business day.

Report| McKinsey Global Institute: Global flows in a digital age

Global flows have been a common thread in economic growth for centuries, since the days of the Silk Road, through the mercantilist and colonial periods and the Industrial Revolution. But today, the movement of goods, services, finance, and people has reached previously unimagined levels. Global flows are creating new degrees of connectedness among economies—and playing an ever-larger role in determining the fate of nations, companies, and individuals; to be unconnected is to fall behind.
