It’s time for our annual carpet cleaning. The Biomedical Library and the 24-hour Graduate Study will close at 5pm on Friday July 2nd and will be closed July 3-5th inclusive, reopening on Tuesday, July 6th.
The UCSD Libraries will be closed on Monday, February 15 for the President’s Day holiday. The 24 Hour Graduate Study space will be available. There will be no Annex deliveries. FYI, the libraries are planning to close for all UCSD holidays this year.
Please note that a few of our “smart” clocks that are supposed to synchronize with a time server for constant accuracy have prematurely moved back to Standard Time and are showing time one hour earlier than they should. Standard Time resumes for real on November 1. So if you get really engrossed in studying, don’t be caught late with a reserve item or late for class!
Due to budget cuts, the Biomedical Library, along with the other UC San Diego Libraries will be shortening hours effective September 20th.
The Biomedical Library’s hours will change Fridays and Sundays. The new hours will be:
Fridays: 8 AM – 6 PM
Sundays: Noon – Midnight
The Library’s full hours schedule is available here.
More information on this, and other budget cut impacts at the Libraries is available here.
The Biomedical Library & Graduate Study area will close at 5pm on Thursday, July 2nd and reopen at 10am on Sunday July 5th. We will be having the carpets cleaned over the long weekend and they take time to dry thoroughly.
The Medical Center Library is embarking on phase 2 of its renovation/remodeling project. A new fire alarm system will be installed in the library beginning June 15th-29th. As the library will not be conducive to study during this installation, the MCL will be open to the public during the following business hours:
Effective June 15 to June 29 2009
Mon – Thurs: 1pm – 8pm;
Fri: 1pm – 6pm;
Sat: 1pm – 5pm;
Sun: CLOSED
We apologize for any inconvenience to our users. For immediate help during the closed hours please contact the librarians via telephone or email.
This week the “sunny” 2nd floor group study rooms 223-230 are getting their upper interior window panels double-glazed for better sound insulation. Because of the work and fumes from the sealants, we will have between 2 – 4 of those rooms out of commission each day this week. We know the rooms are popular right now but we are doing this work in response to your feedback about noise, and we wanted to get the work order in while we still have the funds! Our primary concern is to provide a safe and healthy environment so if there are lingering fumes, you may see some rooms still closed off after the work crews have gone for the day.
The BML Media Room came online last fall and is up and running in our Information Commons area and is waiting for your business! We’ve got a nice flatbed scanner with attachments for slides and transparencies, the Adobe CS3 suite, Dreamweaver, video and audio editing and a webcam. We’re not trying to take the place of the higher-end equipment at the Media Center or the professional services offered by VMG, but it’s available for all UCSD students, faculty and staff at no cost on a do-it-yourself basis. Come by and check it out!
The MCL will be closed 7a-5p on Friday January 16th, to relocate and remove furniture and equipment. However, MCL will be open 5p-8pm Friday January 16th in order to provide a window of service to users. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause our users.
The construction continues at the Medical Center Library-Hillcrest. In order to accommodate carpentry work that is, at times, very noisy—the library will close next week at 5PM to allow the noisier work at night.
