Continuity of Learning Services at Sawyer library: Home

The Sawyer Library is now open for in-person services. Due to Covid-19 safety restrictions, the library will be operating with reduced seating, enhanced e-services, provisions for safer access to collections, socially distant traffic flows, and other modifications where appropriate. We will be monitoring the health guidelines and making adjustments to our services as needed. Virtual services – including research help, class support, and access to electronic resources – will continue as before. Please use this guide to learn more about our current services and operations.

The library staff looks forward to working with you whether it’s on campus or from a distance.

Due to capacity limitations, faculty are encouraged to use the library's remote services for fall semester, which include:

• Online help from a librarian via Chat or email during library hours
• Providing access to e-textbooks (more info)
• Contact-free Book Pick-up and Returns
• Online Library Instruction and course consultation (request form)
• Interlibrary Loan of electronic articles and book chapters (request forms)
• Renewal of checked-out books and items until September 15th
