1/11/09 -- Adjusted Library Hours

Many thanks to those of you who participated in the library hours survey emailed to students over break. I realize that our hours remain limited, and, due to budget concerns, they will remain limited for the rest of this year.

Based on feedback from the survey, though, I believe that offering longer hours on days when classes are in session will better meet the needs of most students. This does require us to reduce hours on days when classes are not in session. The following will be the new hours for the library during winter quarter:

Mon - Tues       10am - 10pm
Wednesdays       2pm - 6pm
Thursdays       10am - 10pm
Fridays       2pm - 6pm
Saturdays       10am - 6pm
Sundays       6pm - 8pm

Please feel free to send any comments or suggestions to bwalter@seminary.edu.
