Material Availability Alert
In mid-August we will begin moving materials from our special collections that are currently in offsite storage to a new offsite storage module. Requests for materials from offsite storage will be processed normally through Friday, August 11, however access to materials will be limited after that date. This process will continue throughout fall semester and will affect the availability of some materials. Researchers with time sensitive requests should contact the curators, collections specialists or staff working with that collection. We thank you for your patience as we complete this work.
