Front Door Closure Due to library construction, you will need to enter from the left side of the library (near Cherry Engineering). The ILL department The Interlibrary Loan Department cannot order or receive books at this time, but we will continue to order requests for materials that can be sent electronically. A Message from the Dean of the Library on Coronavirus To the Users of the Mary and John Gray Library: The library is taking certain precautions to help in the effort to contain the spread of the Covid-19 virus. These changes also align us with the move to online instruction through the end of the semester that has been made by Lamar University. First, our hours have been reduced. We are now open until 7:45 pm on most days. We are closed on Saturday. Floors 1 and 2 are fully open, with computers and the Circulation Desk on the 1st floor and study space on the 2nd. The upper floors are closed to the public, but Circulation Desk staff will retrieve books from the stacks on request. The 7th floor computer lab will be reopened toward the end of the semester, if needed. A computer lab is also available in the residence halls. Second, the Reference Desk will be closed through the remainder of the semester. Reference services will be available through our online chat service or by telephone (409-880-7264). You can access our chat service on our home page at www.lamar.edu/library/ . Library instruction sessions through the end of the semester are also provided online. All face-to-face sections of LIBR 1101, Introduction to Library Research, are online along with all other Lamar University classes. As books are returned, they are being quarantined for 3 days (the time that the Covid-19 virus can survive on hard surfaces) before being re-shelved. This is an added protection both for our employees who re-shelve the books and our users who check them out. Half of the computers on the first floor have been temporarily disabled to promote effective social distancing. Please do not gather in a group around a single computer. Note that the library is only serving the students, faculty, and staff of Lamar University and LIT. Computers, elevator buttons, and most hard surfaces are being disinfected on a regular basis. Please remember to say a word of thanks to our custodians for the excellent work that they are doing in working to keep the building safe. Purell hand sanitizer dispensers are located on each floor at the elevators and within the 7th floor computing lab. We urge you to use them periodically. We also urge you to heed the handwashing...
