Alternative Arrangements for Students
(Updated 5/3/2006) 4 p.m.
Zimmerman Library will be closed to the general public as well as to students, faculty and all but authorized staff for the foreseeable future. The university’s first priority is to make sure that the building is safe before it can be open for general use.
However, knowing that students will be anxious with approaching finals, a number of steps have been taken to minimize this temporary loss of library access.

Book Retrieval
It is expected that by Thursday, a document delivery system will be in place for requests at another library for a book and library staff will go into the stacks and retrieve the book and get it to you at Centennial, Fine Arts or Parish. This will be available only from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. The libraries are still working on how the system will work, so check the web site for additional information. This will only cover books in the general stacks since the periodicals and all other materials stored in the basement will be unreachable for the time being.
