Extended Service Hours

Starting this month, the Library is extending the hours of two of its services on a trial basis for the fall 2006 term.

Extended Circulation Services

Starting on Monday, September 11, the Circulation Desk at the Davis Centre Library will open earlier and close later than in previous years. The Circulation Desk’s service hours will be from 8 am to midnight on weekdays, and 11 am to midnight on weekends.

During the trial, students and faculty will have increased flexibility with borrowing and returning library material, obtaining course reserves, and receiving assistance with other items handled at the Circulation Desk.

Extended Information Services

Beginning on September 23 and running until December 16, the Dana Porter Library will open its Information Desk for service on Saturdays between 1 pm and 5 pm.

This trial will allow the Porter Information Desk to be open seven days a week for the fall term, providing students and faculty with an additional day to receive research assistance in person and/or by telephone.

More Info

The Library will review the benefits and issues pertaining to both service extensions during and after their respective trial periods. The review process will determine if these services will be continued and/or offered at other library service locations in 2007.
