The Library
As a last resort, go hit the books

There will inevitably come a time when
solitude, peace and quiet will become a
necessity in order to practice the ancient art
of students known as “studying.” In order to
fulfill this need, various libraries and re
source centers can be found both on and off
campus. In addition to providing an escape
from jabbering roommates, blaring stereos,
and ringing telephones, these areas con
tain valuable and useful information for stu
dents and nonstudents.
The libraries on campus house over 1113
million volumes; the law library contains
almost 95,000 and the other libraries store
about 11/4 million. Many of the departmen
tal libraries can be found in the main library
on campus, which is located directly south
of the Memorial Quad Courtyard (although
the library may be easier to locate than the
MQC). Their hours, beginning September
25, are as follows:
Monday-Thursday 8 a.m.-11 p.m.
Friday 8a.m.-10p.m.
Saturday 9 a.m.-5 p.m.
Sunday 2 p.m:-11 p.m.
