Responding to COVID-19

You can chat and email with us daily! Mon-Thu 7am-7pm, Fri 7am-6pm, Sat 11am-6pm, and Sun 1pm-6pm. But due to COVID-19, all University Libraries buildings are currently closed, and we're not accepting any new hold/pickup or scanning requests for physical items. See details on library changes and support.

Locate books and other materials

Most library materials are organized by call number, but some formats and collections are kept together. Find the location in library search.

You can also use express retrieval and we'll put it on the hold shelf for you.
