Now return to the central staircase and go down the stairs to the Lower Level. Across from the stairs is the start of the Microform Area. Newspapers, ERIC documents, and the back issues of certain periodicals are available on microfiche or microfilm. Reader/printers are also available. Assistance with microform is available from the Circulation Desk during most hours the Library is open.

To your left, past the serials stacks, is the Academic Enhancement Center. Here's where you can meet tutors for STEM tutoring.

The IT Service Desk is to the right as you exit the stairs. The IT Service Desk can assist you with common technology problems, including lost passwords, technical issues, and so on. Most of the rest of the floor contains the Bound Serials, older issues or periodicals which have been bound together in volumes for preservation. They are shelved in call number order.

Lower Level: To the right of the Help Desk you will find signage leading to LL12 and LL11B, the latter is also known as the RE:Space. LL12 is often scheduled for Library Instruction classes, but the RE:Space can also be scheduled for Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) classes by URI course instructors or professional staff for classes where students will benefit from close proximity and access to library materials and resources. URI instructors may reserve the RE:Space for their own teaching.
