University Libraries Updates

The Libraries continue to provide our services and collections in accordance with campus safety guidelines.
We're also getting ready to open our renovated Levels 3 and 4 this fall, complete with inviting spaces for group collaboration, quiet study, and more.

Check this page often for updates on our progress.

Mullins Renewal Construction

We’re getting ready for a great Fall!

• Levels 3 and 4 remain closed for renovation and are expected to reopen before classes begin in August.
• In preparation for the renovation of Levels 1 and 2, books from those floors are currently being moved to Levels 3 and 4. The southwest elevator will be closed to accomodate this move.
  Need an item from the main collection? Use the Request this item button in the library catalog. We'll pull the book for you and send an email when it is ready for pick up.
  Need an item from the Reference or Gov Docs Reference collections? Ask at the main service desk for assistance.
• The East entrance of Mullins remains closed for mechanical work. We apologize for the inconvenience.
