Using the Libraries

View a complete list of current campus and center libraries hours. The Swirbul Library Service Point Desk and IT Help Desk may have different hours of operation. Note that hours may not be accurate if a University-wide alert has indicated the campus/center is currently closed.

My Library Account gives you information about materials you have borrowed from the library, lets you renew items, check on the status of holds, check library fines or blocks, and access your Interlibrary Borrowing loans and account.
