This page contains information about visiting the DiMenna-Nyselius Library, updates to in-person and virtual Library and Academic Commons services, and other useful links. We will continue to update this page. Our current library services and access are meant to protect the health and safety of library visitors and staff. We might have to make changes quickly as circumstances change. Thank you for your understanding.
