  Updated Library Hours

While we love assisting you remotely, we are pleased to announce that we're opening our doors on July 6th! Our hours will be Monday - Friday, 8 a.m. - 5 p.m. To be completely honest, we've missed assisting you in-person! If you're remaining remote, please check out the "Remote Services" tab to see how we'll continue to support your educational needs.

Here are a few things to know before coming back into the library:

  • Enter the library on the library's eastside. The south doors will be exit only.
  • We have transformed the physical space to promote social distancing.
  • Check out the "Changes to Services" tab for changes you should be aware of.
  • Please assist us in providing a safe place to study by:
    • practicing social distancing by remaining 6 feet apart,
    • and wearing a mandatory protective face covering, as University policy requires masks be worn in campus buildings, unless a health-related exception exists. If you do not have a mask, you will be given one at the library service desk inside the front doors.

Further Information and Updates

As the situation continues to evolve, our plans may change. Please check our homepage and social media for updates. Additionally, visit our COVID-19 FAQ for further information.

  • Reservations are required to use library computers and study rooms.
  • The following areas will remain closed: the entirety of the 2nd floor (Special Collections and University Archives, Government Documents, Loan, Periodicals, and Microform collections), 1st floor loan, IRC, and Youth collections.

  • The University has gone "cashless." As a result, we only accept credit cards, checks, or exact change.

  • Please pickup your Interlibrary Loan items from the Research & Access Desk.
  • Our closing process has changed to assist us in cleaning the library,
    • 30 minutes prior to closing we will no longer checkout items, take payments, or accept new reservations
    • 15 minutes prior to closing we will no longer allow printing and copying.

COVID-19 Discussion

Take a deep breath and talk about it. Faculty, Staff, and Students come together to share how you feel and offer an understanding ear. Cornette Library’s COVID-19 discussion boards are a place to discuss our feelings and to preserve the history of this era.

During April and May, our Trial Databases page features access to many more resources than usual.

You’ll find there a plethora of ebooks, journals, and videos on all sorts of subjects from Cambridge, JSTOR, Alexander Street, Harvard Business Review Press, APS, and more.

Make sure you explore the resources there while we have them, and please let us know what you think.
