Over the summer we will be merging library service desks and functions so all patron support transpires in one central location. Construction begins June 24th. Work is expected to go through the week of July 22nd. The Library building will be closed to the public during this time but many services will still be avaliable remotely during our normal summer hours.

For more information please visit the 2013 Library Renovation Information webpage

• During construction: we will provide core, essential services in the Link (accessible via Old Main, 2nd level).
• Material check out: We will provide reference support and retrieve materials for you by request.  Just visit us in the Link, email, call, or chat us.  Certain areas and collections may be inaccessible to us from time to time, but we will do our best to retrieve what you need.
• CLIC material: Requests and Interlibrary Loan operations will continue.
• Consultations: Librarians will still be available for research consultations or other needs.  Please make an appointment before you come if at all possible.
• Computer access: A limited number of workstations will be set up in the Link.
