What is a day in the University Libraries like? Of course, there is no typical day. Each one brings a different set of challenges and opportunities as we work to advance and support learning, research, and service, but one day recently we took a snapshot of our day, and it looked like this: 7865 people entered the libraries in person; 16,145 visitors looked at a library web site page; 366 mobile devices accessed our resources, more than 76% of them for the first time, and mobile use is growing; 14,285 articles from NC DOCKS containing the scholarly output of UNCG and other UNC system partners were used; 1085 people used one of our 221 public personal computers, laptops and IPads, and they printed 6165 pages; 200 public service questions were fielded by library faculty staff (face to face, by phone and virtually over the Internet), and there were 13 more consultation sessions; Japan and the United Kingdom topped the list of countries outside the US accessing our resources
The Friends of the UNCG Libraries are advocates and supporters of the Libraries. Our Friends make a real difference in our ability to serve the campus and the local community.
