Mullins Library is THE place to study or do research on campus. The spacious Helen Robson Walton Reading Room is our most popular quiet study area. Four group study rooms are available for three-hour checkout. Online databases, accessible from anywhere with a University ID, make researching your topic a breeze. If you get stuck, reference librarians are there to help. You may ask your questions by email, chat, text, phone, or in person. Schedule an individual research consultation with a librarian who specializes in your field of study for those tough research questions or projects.
With more than 1.9 million volumes and 26,000 journal subscriptions, you’re sure to find plenty of research materials for every subject. The Research Commons/General Access Computing Lab, located on the lobby level, offers full service computing and help in one location. Laptop check-outs at the main circulation desk offer the convenience of computing in other parts of the library and campus using the UA wireless network. Extended hours of operation are scheduled during fall and spring final exam periods.
The University Libraries contribute to the intellectual diversity of the campus by sponsoring lectures, rotating art exhibits, book signings, and other special events. Consult the libraries’ web page (https://libraries.uark.edu) to get current information about hours, events, and other happenings. Visit our table during Razorbash to sign up for an orientation to the library services and collections personalized to your subject area.
