Listed below are updates about available services:
River Campus Libraries: Closed until further notice. The libraries will no longer be able to retrieve or provide physical items for graduate students or faculty, from the stacks or through interlibrary loan. Here’s what you need to know. All students, faculty, and other library patrons are encouraged to browse and use the library’s list of free and extended-access materials. And, roughly one-third of Rush Rhees Library’s physical book collection is available electronically.
Although physical spaces have been closed to help stop the spread of COVID-19, library staff and the resources you need are still available. In addition, outreach librarians have launched a YouTube channel, #RCLatHome Resources, that provides tutorials for navigating library databases.
Miner Library: Closed to the public until further notice. Library book due dates have been extended to July 2. If needed, you can drop off books at the drive-up book drop outside of the Rush Rhees Library on the River Campus. Email miner_answerdesk@URMC.Rochester.edu with any questions.
The doors may be closed, but Miner Library is open for business online. Medical librarians are available during regular business hours to support all students, faculty, and staff. Contact them here.
