The library replaced its library catalog with a new system on Aug. 2. The modern interface and search functionality is user-friendly and operates similarly to a Google search.
Access the new catalog at Search the Dupré Library Catalog.
Faculty who have permalinks or URLs to the previous catalog in Moodle or elsewhere will need to update the links. For help, refer to the Creating a Permalink Guide.
Special Collections now has a live library chat.
It is designed for users to interact in real time with us and ask questions.
The chat is available on the Special Collections' homepage and all of its subpages.
We hope to hear from you.

Circulation Services provides friendly and courteous service to the University of Louisiana at Lafayette community and the general public in lending library materials. Staff members are responsible for managing library study spaces, answering directional questions, and stack maintenance.
Special Collection Services at Dupré Library continues a series of lectures in commemoration of the 150th anniversary of the American Civil War. Dr. Harry Laver, Professor and Graduate Coordinator in the History Department at Southeastern Louisiana University, will speak on the topic “The Clash of Titans: Robert E. Lee vs. Ulysses S. Grant” at 4:00 pm on September 9. The event will take place in the third floor hall outside the Ernest J. Gaines Center.
We've made some changes to streamline user services and create a more personalized experience for our users.
The circulation and reference desks were consolidated so you can now get all the help you'll need in one place at one desk.
That means you'll be able to get a study room, a stuffed animal, a calculator, research assistance, and anything else you may need at the same time.
Looking for a new hang out spot in the library? Stay tuned for Dupré Den, a cozy space with bean bags for relaxing or studying.
