Resnick Library: Summary of Fall 2020 Operations

As of 7/28/2020

• Books/Movies: The library is currently using on-demand access to our print collections, where patrons request books via email and pick them up at specified times. Keeping the book stacks closed enables the library staff to manage our physical spaces safely and effectively during this time. This process will likely change slightly as students return to campus.
• Book/Movie Returns: All items must be returned using the book drops (located outside the main door of the library or in front of the circulation desk). All returned items will be placed in a mandatory 96-hour quarantine before re-entering circulation.
• Print Serials: Print serials (newspapers and magazines) that are normally available on the second floor will now be located behind the circulation desk. Please ask for the title you wish to check out.
• Common Areas: The common areas of the library, including seating and computer work stations, will be open with reduced capacity beginning August 30. Signage, floor markers, stanchions and other equipment will be utilized to manage traffic flow and density within the library. Hand sanitizer stations, sanitizing wipes, sneeze guards, and other equipment will be used to support clean and safe spaces. Masks will be required when physical distancing is not possible.
• Course Reserves: Scanning of limited portions of print materials that are currently owned by the library will be available upon request. Librarians will work with instructors to identify alternate online resources to support their teaching whenever possible. The library is still evaluating print course reserve availability for the fall semester.
• Instruction: Library instruction remains available, but will be provided in a virtual-only format. To request, please complete this form: Library Instruction Request Form
• Study Rooms: Study rooms will be available at a reduced capacity. All rooms will be locked, and access will be achieved via room key/card checkout from the library desk. Masks will be required when physical distancing is not possible.
• Archives: Access to the archives will be by appointment only.
• Laptops and Other Equipment: Laptops will be checked out for longer periods by request. All other reserve equipment (headphones, phone chargers, scissors, whiteboards, etc.) will be off-loan for this semester.
• Interlibrary Loan (ILL): ILL services have continued with electronic materials all summer. Physical item loan/borrowing will resume at the start of the semester; however, increased turnaround times are likely due to quarantine periods, limited on-site staffing, and reduced delivery schedules.
• Reference Services: Library reference and research support services are available via online chat on the library's web page, via email at library@delhi.edu , or by appointment for Zoom consultations.
