  • Study Spaces. Open study areas including the library’s desktop computers have been modified to allow for social distancing.
  • Check Outs. Check out of the print reserves collection, print books, and laptops has resumed.
  • ILL. We will continue to fulfill requests for electronic items available from other libraries through interlibrary loan. We are trying our best to resume interlibrary loan services of lending and borrowing physical materials to and from other libraries. We appreciate your patience with possible delays in handling and shipping, as most libraries still have their physical item lending on pause.

  • Library Instruction Sessions. Instructors can request library instruction support.
  • Acquiring Course Content. Instructors can submit purchase requests for course materials.
