Library closed Aug. 16 through Sept. 2:  Due to the construction project, the library and computer lab will be closed for the last two weeks in August 2008.  We encourage students and faculty to check out any books you may need ahead of time, and make alternative plans for computer access and study space.  The library will close early at 5:00 p.m. on Friday, August 15, 2008 and remain closed until 1:00 p.m. on Tuesday, September 2, 2008.  No books or media will be available from any collection during that time; library staff will not have access to the building.  Circulation periods will be extended and fines waived for items due during the closure.  Books on course reserve will be temporarily relocated to another location on campus to be announced later.  Library staff will be available to help patrons at this location.  Faculty teaching summer courses may want to discuss in advance their course needs with reference staff.  Remote access to the online databases and eBooks will not be affected.

A construction web cam has been added to the roof of the existing library building.  Check out live images of progress on the new building.  Click here.

Hubbard Library Construction  Construction on the David Allan Hubbard Library began in the summer of 2007.  The building project will take approximately two years.  The south entrance to campus will be closed during the project.  Noise from the construction will be intense at times.  Construction work will take place mostly between 7:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m.; therefore, faculty, students, and staff may want to adjust their working hours accordingly.  The library will make every effort to and accommodate research needs; however, there will be some planned closures, and perhaps some closures with short notice due to safety concerns.

The best time to study in the library during construction  For quiet study and research time: the best times to avoid construction noise will be after 3:00 p.m.  If you must be in the library, you may want to bring ear plugs or use the ones made available at the Circulation Desk.  When noise levels become health threatening, the library will be closed.  Every effort will be made to give advance notice, but these things are sometimes difficult to accurately predict during such a construction project.  Please bear with us during construction; Hubbard library will be a much nicer place to study when it's finished.

Taylor & Francis eBooks, with 16,000 full-text books, is available as a trial database.  Please go to the Trial Databases page for more information.
