Scenes from the Summer 2006 Stoxen Library revamping!

Summer library hours

Please note that starting July 3rd, Stoxen Library will be open limited hours FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE SUMMER. These restricted hours are in place in order to allow Dickinson State University staff to proceed with the remodeling and other projects including but not limited to: the addition of computers on the lower level, the ODIN Aleph software transition, the completion of the transition of the Academic Success Center to the lower level, re-location of a number of collections, as well as many other ongoing projects too numerous to list.

Note also that other library services will be very limited including reference assistance and interlibrary loan. Any library tour or orientation sessions will be available on a very limited basis, and only by special arrangement with the Public Services Librarian, Eileen Kopren (eileen.kopren@dickinsonstate.edu). Access to video/dvd viewing stations will at times be unavailable. The media collections are housed on the lower level and access at times will be unavailable or limited as the
construction project continues. Various collection areas will be marked
as unavailable. For assistance in accessing collection areas marked as restricted, please inquire at the Library main level service desk.

For returning materials, there is a book drop located at the south entrance to the Library foyer.

For computer needs, when the library is not open, check the computer lab availability in the lower level of May Hall, or other campus locations.

For sending and receiving faxes, please note that one alternative location on campus would be the University Store.

SPECIAL NOTE TO FACULTY: planning to place items on course reserves for fall 2006? Please allow ample advance processing time for placing any items on reserve in the upcoming academic year.


The hours will be as follows:

July 3, 2006 - August 11, 2006
Monday-Friday
1:30 p.m. - 4:30 p.m.

Closed on July 4, 2006

Please plan your library visits accordingly and anticipate some delays in service. On behalf of the Stoxen Library staff, we appreciate your understanding and cooperation.
