Summer in the Library

The library is here to support you in your summer reading and research!

Starting next week we will begin our regular summer hours.

Remember, even when we're not open, all of our electronic resources (including ebooks, journal articles and streaming video) are available online from anywhere with your NazNet ID and password.

Now is a great time to pick up some fun new summer reading!  We have some great bestseller titles available now that there are fewer people on campus.

We also have some fun displays up right now that you might want to take a peek at:  some Commencement-related items from Archives in our basement display, and some gardening books in the browsing lounge (including a number of titles on Frederick Law Olmstead).

The Reference Desk is open year-round, including the summer!  That means we are here to answer any questions you have about using the library, finding resources for your research, or citing sources in your papers.

You can also send us an email anytime and a librarian will get back to you within roughly 24 hours.

And of course, we have quiet and calm study spaces, like our rare book room.  Perfect for summer studying!

Later this summer we will also be introducing a new catalog and discovery system, which will make it easier than ever for you to find books, articles, and more.  Stay tuned for more information!

New log-in screen from off-campus

The library is in the process of moving to a new system.  One of the benefits is that you can now access our ebooks, databases, and other electronic resources from any location with your NazNet ID!

When you're trying to access library resources from off-campus, you might see a screen that looks like this:

For the present time, you can choose to log-in with either your Last Name and Library Barcode OR your NazNet ID and Password.  You do not need to enter both.

If you see the 'old' log-in screen, that simply means we haven't updated the URL for that resource yet.  Go ahead and use your Last Name and Library Barcode to log in.  Eventually, everything will be moved over to the new system.

For the time being, you will also still need your Library Barcode to access your Library Account (your loans, renewals, etc.).

If you have questions, please call the library's main phone line:  585-398-2129.
