NOTE ON CHANGES TO SERVICE DUE TO COVID-19

The University Library is open to the public this fall semester! However, some services have changed this year to account for better social distancing and hygiene. Your subject librarian may be working off-campus, but you can still contact us for support with your research and course needs via email, appointments, and our live chat service.

For up-to-date information about services affected by COVID-19, please visit the library's COVID-19 Response webpage.
