Important Service at Shannon Library  for Graduate Students (posted Fall 2024)

Shelves are available for reservation at the Shannon Library Graduate Student Lounge!

Students who are interested should email Mary Ann Lugo, lugo@virginia.edu

  • Current UVA graduate students in good standing are eligible to reserve one set of shelves for one academic year. The reservation can be renewed.
  • Shelves are assigned on a first-come, first-served basis. Please be patient if you are not assigned shelves right away. You will be placed on a wait list.
  • Only checked-out books and materials are allowed on the shelves. All library items on your shelves need to have a GSL Shelf slip in them, otherwise they will be removed.
  • Personal items can be temporarily placed in the lounge if you are stepping away while you are actively using the space. The fridge and lockers in the kitchen area are there for this purpose. Personal belongings cannot be left overnight and will be removed if left behind.
  • Grads who have study carrels or shelves at Fine Arts or Music cannot also reserve shelves at Shannon due to space limitations.

Statement of intents
You must be aware that consulting with a subject librarian is not only obtaining quality resources from an expert in any given subject, but also that you are knocking on the door of a local, national, and international group of professionals experts in multiple aspects of your possible projects. I mean that I am part of various international organizations: SALALM, LANE and LASER, (Latin America); CIFNAL (French and Francophone world); CRL (General Research) to which I have access and from which I obtain all the necessary support.

I am available to all students who are researching any Latin American, Iberian, Italian, Lusophone, Francophone, and French topics. Also, I have a lot of experience working with Global Issues from a Social Sciences and Humanities perspective and I can support research in German and Jewish Studies. If you are an undergraduate student that need to do a large or brief research project, or a graduate student preparing a bibliography for your PhD. or master’s degree, gathering ideas about a topic, finding an archive in a different country, etc., meeting with a subject librarian early in your research process is key saving you time and to improve the content of your research.

I am also very interested in hearing your opinion on how to improve our library. Let me know If you discover new material that may be useful for your research or have an opinion on how to improve our services and resources when you work on subject related to my expertise or elsewhere.
