Are you Boulder bound this week? If so, read on for University Libraries’ updates on services and resources we’re offering this semester.
Contactless pickup
Good news: our contactless pickup service continues for CU Boulder affiliates, with a change in location. Now, you can retrieve your materials in the east entrance lobby (near the Sundial Plaza). With winter weather, we hope that this move indoors will be more comfortable for you -- and safer for the materials, too.
Don’t forget to bring your Buff OneCard!

Face coverings
Is your wardrobe in need of some black and gold? Up your school spirit game with a reusable CU Boulder face coverings! We have hundreds of masks up for grabs at the front desk of each of our libraries. Find other mask stations on campus.
Printing
Printers are available at the Business Library, Gemmill Library and Norlin Commons (it has three!) during open hours. You may print from the libraries’ computers as well as from personal devices. Reservations not required, just that Buff OneCard for building access!

Digital Access
Although the stacks are closed for in-person browsing, you can still access 48% of books from our print collection as e-books, thanks to HathiTrust’s Emergency Temporary Access Service. In addition to our many online subscription databases and resources, we are providing expanded access to nearly 100 databases and online resources. We’re continuing to negotiate comprehensive e-book collection purchases with unlimited user access from many highly used academic publishers.
You can continue to access e-books and other digital copies of materials 24/7 through OneSearch.

Ask a Librarian
Our remote and virtual Ask a Librarian service is available to those needing help with course assignments and research by chat, text, email or consultation. We offer service hours every day to accommodate your busy schedule and drop-in Zoom or phone consultations during weekdays.
We look forward to seeing you at one of our three library locations and online!
