Full access to the stacks and spaces for study and research at most locations will resume on Monday, August 23, with various seating, noise levels, and supported activities at each of the libraries. Check the hours of operation for details. Technology-enhanced spaces will be accessible again, including the Data Services lab on the fifth floor of Bobst, the Avery Fisher Center collaborative media rooms and screening facilities on the seventh floor of Bobst, and various productivity workstations and labs throughout both Bobst and Dibner. Help is always available in person and virtually. Staff is available to help with your reference, circulation, audio/visual, research, and technology needs. The Ask a Librarian service will continue to provide 24/7 online help via chat, email, text, and in-person appointments.

Collections
In-person access to print collections will resume on August 23. We will continue to offer multiple delivery options, including contactless locker delivery, small-scale scanning, and other delivery options. If you can’t find what you need in the catalog, please search E-ZBorrow for books or place an interlibrary loan request.
Electronic resources collections of almost 3 million items, including 2.2 million ebooks; 175,000 audio titles; 150,000 video titles; 225,000 e-journals; and 1,300 databases, present a wealth of material for your use. Temporary access to in-copyright material in the HathiTrust emergency digital collections will end on Friday, August 20, followed by resumption of in-person access to print collections on Monday, August 23. You can access those materials by visiting the library or placing a request.
The Course Reserves tool, available on the NYU Libraries' website or in NYU Classes, enables you to request books, videos, music, ebooks, articles, or scanned book chapters for your course. We will continue to source digital copies of course materials and provide scanning for book chapters and articles where possible. If a digital book or streaming video is not available in the Libraries collection, we will place the physical item on reserve at the library. Please submit your requests by Sunday, August 1 to ensure materials are available on the first day of classes.
