Editor’s Note: As the University of Miami reopens and welcomes students, faculty, and staff back to campus for the Fall 2020 semester, our “Campus Ready” updates will help the University community navigate how to eat, shop, stay fit, and more, while putting our health and well-being first.
As the 2020 academic year begins, the University of Miami Libraries (UML) has made it a priority to support online and in-person learning. With readjusted spaces, services, and additional online resources to meet campus guidelines for hygiene and safety, the UML team will continue to serve each of its five locations across three campuses.
What’s new:
- Online resources, tutoring, consultations, instructional sessions, and workshops are currently available.
- Use Book a Library Seat service to reserve a physically distant study space at Richter Library on the Coral Gables Campus. Review frequently asked questions and guidelines before booking.
- Request books and other materials, including use of the Interlibrary Loan system, online for non-contact pickup Monday through Friday at all locations. Learn more about requesting materials and Interlibrary Loan services.
- Laptops and technology equipment are currently available for checkout at Richter Library Access Services through the laptop lending program and creative studio.
- Learning Commons resources—such as the writing center, math and modern languages labs, and Camner Center—are accessible online. Book an appointment.
- Researchers affiliated with the University may access its distinctive collections—which include the Cuban Heritage Collection, Special Collections, and University Archives—starting in October by booking an appointment. Visit the Reading Room of the Cuban Heritage Collection in the Goizueta Pavilion for service and access to all Distinctive Collections.
- For questions or to request assistance, contact your subject librarian.
“UML is committed to the continued support of the research and teaching needs of faculty and students,” shared Charles Eckman, dean and University librarian, in a welcome letter to the University community. “Our top priority is to ensure that as many resources and services as possible are accessible online.”
