Welcome, UGL-iens!

Did you know that the UGL is awesome?

We were even awesome in the 70s.

It’s no secret that there’s a lot going on at the UGL.  A lot.  So much that it’s hard to keep track of.

But that’s why we’re here: so you don’t miss out on all the great things the UGL has to offer.  We’ll connect you to resources that make your life easier.  We’ll tell you how to check out an ipod–or even a Walkman if you’re into the 80s retro thing, or just want to listen to a book-on-tape.  And we’ll introduce you to things you might not have known, like who the people in the UGL are, and how they can help you.

We have a mission here at the UGL to encourage engagement with information and technology, provide space for collaborative inquiry and work, and support undergraduate students so they can succeed both in and out of school.  We see this blog as a fun, interactive way to continue to fulfill this mission.

We’ve created this blog to help you get more out of the UGL and your time at UIUC, and we’d love to hear from you.  Comments are open, and you can always send us an email if you want to make a suggestion, have a specific question, or just want to say hi.  And if you use an RSS reader, you can sign up to receive posts from this blog automatically by clicking the link on the right side of this page.
