Library Construction Project
The library is undergoing some renovation and construction due to be completed in Fall 2012.
The library building closed and services have been relocated to several different sections of campus. To access books and other materials in the library catalog you will need to search and request the item in our library catalog. Books and other materials will be delivered to HSS for pick up. Please note that for the duration of the building project (projected to be completed in 3+ years), individuals will only be able to browse our book collection virtually in our online library catalog and then request the material for delivery to HSS, usually delivered in 24 hours (M-F only). Online access to Journals will remain unchanged.
