Library news

The Ryerson and Burnham Libraries have expanded hours.

In addition to regular public hours Wednesdays and Fridays 1:00-5:00 and Thursdays 10:30-8:00, the Libraries are now open for research appointments Mondays and Tuesdays 1:00-5:00. Advance research appointments are designed for researchers who do not need reference assistance and are able to conduct research independently. Research materials must be requested at the time the appointment request is submitted. Details and the appointment request form can be found here.
