🚨 NIH researchers: important update!

The grace period is over—the NIH now requires all biosketches and other support documents to be created and certified through SciENcv.

This shift is part of a broader federal effort to standardize research disclosure forms, making compliance more consistent across agencies.

The best time to check your SciENcv setup is before a deadline is approaching.

📚 Rutgers University Libraries are here to help! Learn about the steps you should take right now, explore our guides, sign up for a workshop, or schedule a consultation with our experts.

🗓️ Upcoming workshop: July 17

🎉 Congratulations to Rutgers Art Librarian Megan Lotts on her drawing being featured on the cover of College & Research Libraries News!

Her sketch captures the energy of the 2025 ALA Annual Conference in Philadelphia, where conversations around intellectual freedom and digital equity took center stage. (The 2026 ALA Annual Conference will be held June 25–29 in Chicago.)

Lotts's work reflects her signature approach—blending creativity, play, and reflection—to foster meaningful engagement in library spaces. Through practices like sketching, six-word stories, and collaborative artmaking, she champions multimodal literacies and invites learners to think critically, experiment boldly, and connect in new ways.

👏Well-deserved recognition!

You’ve got this—finals week is here! 💪📚
Many of our libraries are staying open longer during reading days and exams to help you finish strong.
ℹ️ See the hours at your library: go.rutgers.edu/libraries-hours
🚨 Some of these hours are Rutgers-only, so bring your Rutgers ID card!

Did you have a chance to check out the R Garden in the College Avenue Student Center on Rutgers Day? 👀

Rutgers University Libraries transformed the Block R into an open book using bookbinding fabric, cardboard, 3D printed letters, and a compilation of images, maps, and graphical designs.

The project is a visual representation of the extensive Rutgers University Libraries system: 11 libraries across all Rutgers locations, five distinctive collections, and a robust online presence.

Meet the creative minds who conceived and constructed this work of art: Charles Casseus, Luke Sangiamo, and Ray George from our centralized shipping department. 👏👏👏
