HOURS

The DiMenna-Nyselius Library building will be closed from Tuesday, December 23, 2014 at 12:30 pm, through Sunday, January 4, 2015.

The library will reopen and a full schedule of operations will resume on Monday, January 5. Library Hours

SERVICES

Returning Items

Due dates have been changed so that no items will be due during the closure period. However, if you would like to return items between December 23 and January 4, a book and media return box is located outside on the North (facing Bannow) side of the Library. Renewal services will be unavailable during the closure.

Research Assistance

Real-time research assistance online will be available throughout the closure dates with the exception of Dec 25 and Jan 1. Visit the Library website http://www.fairfield.edu/library/ to use the Chat Research Help box. Because this is a Jesuit cooperative service, assistance will be provided by a librarian from another Jesuit university.

Research assistance by email, in-person or by telephone will be unavailable between December 23 and January 4. Students, faculty, and staff who send email inquiries or leave telephone messages during the closure period will receive replies starting on January 5; queries will be answered in the order in which they were received.

Other Library Services

  • Interlibrary Loan: Interlibrary loan requests submitted between December 23 and January 4 will not be processed until January 5.

Online Resources

All databases and e-journals are available during the closure, using your NET ID login credentials. In addition, 100,000s of e-books are available through the Library catalog.

Finals Hours, FREE COFFEE and DeStress Support!

The Library’s # 1 goal this time of year is to offer students an academic sanctuary – – a place where they can go to study in quiet, meet with their groups to complete final projects and refuel themselves any time of the day or night.

De-Stress During Finals initiative:

  1. Open 24 hours beginning on Wednesday, Dec 10 (except we close at 9:00 pm on Saturday, Dec 13). Stay Up All Night with Us! Free coffee, tea and hot chocolate all night long!
  2. Free coffee, tea and hot chocolate and snacks every morning beginning Thursday, Dec 11 in Cafe (except on Sunday, Dec 14)
  3. Doggie De-Stress event 3-5 pm on Wednesday 12/10 and Monday  12/15 as part of our De-Stress During Finals program. Come down to the Multimedia Auditorium on the lower level to pet dogs Belle and Beau, owned by a local alumna Marilyn Rice , and see your stress float away.
  4. Visit our DeStress station, located in lobby, for study tips, free earplugs and more!
