FAQ

Can I borrow copies of my textbooks?

Yes! The Duke University Library keeps copies of the textbooks for the 100 biggest courses on
campus on reserve. All students can borrow the books for up to 3 hours.

I have a class research project. Can someone help me navigate the library resources?

Yes! Arianne Hartsell-Gundy is the dedicated 1G/LI Success Librarian. She can help you
navigate these resources and learn research strategies.

How do I connect with faculty outside of class?

FLUNCH them! The FLUNCH (faculty + lunch) program provides funding to undergrads so
they can invite their professors to a free lunch on campus. It’s a great way to connect with your
professor in an informal way. Professors LOVE to be asked to FLUNCH!

How can I find a research opportunity?

Search the Undergrad Research Support office’s database of research opportunities.
