UHD W. I. Dykes Library

We're excited to welcome back our students!

Stefany Guzman and Charis Vieira have each worked with the UHD Library for 5 years. They are moving on to new jobs, and we will miss them and all they do at the library!

Congratulations to Stefany Guzman (5 years), Charis Vieira (5 years), and Adrian Mallard (15 years) for their years of service to the University of Houston-Downtown!

A little UHD history.

Celebrating 50 Years of UHD: One Main Building | University of Houston-Downtown As the UHD footprint continues to expand, it’s hard to believe that at one time, the entire campus was centered on only one building: One Main. The site of that building, indeed all UHD, is just steps away from Allen’s Landing on Buffalo Bayou where Houston was founded in 1836.

Happy Pride Month, UHD!

Charis Vieira, ILL Supervisor, put together a wonderful display of books, ebooks, and films to celebrate Pride Month. Come see what we have!

Happy National Donut Day! And BIG THANKS to librarian Donovan Parker for bringing in donuts for library staff. You're such a sweet guy, Donovan!

Librarian Jennifer Fuentes presented at The Library Collective Conference, discussing video accessibility and online outreach. Her presentations were hits!
