WS 304: LGBTQ & SEXUALITIES STUDIES: Welcome!

• Our Online and Distance Learning Resources page has helpful information on finding and accessing library materials remotely. Additional points about our COVID-19 response:

  • Library staff are mailing books to faculty, staff, and students off campus. 
  • Library online resources are available 24/7.
  • Books can be returned to the building book drops and are quarantined for 24 hours (materials will clear from your patron account after quarantine).
  • The Main Library is currently open with reduced hours: 9 am- 5pm Monday - Friday.  Confirm this on the library's home page.  
  • Library staff will retrieve books and other materials for you (most of the building is currently closed for safety).
