Although the Library has an extensive collection of online dictionaries, we know that some people prefer to have a print dictionary next to them while they work. To help with that, we’ve have added a number of dictionaries (see the list below) that you can take out on 2-day loan.

You’ll find the dictionaries in the course reserves room, just to the left and behind the service desk in HSSL. Check them out!

Note: If you plan on using a dictionary in an exam, please check with your instructor to see if they are permitted and if so, what kinds are allowed.

In order to better serve our community, the Humanities and Social Sciences Library will implement new service hours starting on Tuesday, September 5th:

 

• Borrowing services (circulation) and the self-serve reserves room will be open at 8am, Monday to Friday.

 

• Interlibrary Loan pickup and course reserves will be accessible at this time. As a result of this change, course reserves taken out at the end of the day will be due at 9 am the next morning instead of 11 am.

 

• Weekend reference services will be available on Sundays from 10 am to 6 pm instead of Saturdays.

You can always get our opening and service hours from the HSSL branch web site.

If you have any questions about these changes, please do not hesitate to contact us!
