While ULS Library remains closed at this time, we are offering books by mail and article scanning upon request to all students, regardless of distance from campus.
In order to protect the staff and community, both ULS Library branches have been closed completely since March 19. The Library and ULS’s Emergency Planning and Operations Task Force will reassess the situation and any future opening will be posted to the library calendar.
