Beginning on Friday July 20th books stored in the Rockefeller Library’s Absolute Quiet Room on Level A will be moved temporarily to the paging side of Level C.
On Monday July 23rd, the Absolute Quiet Room will be closed for a period of approximately two weeks for some minor repairs. We apologize for any inconvenience.
Due to construction of the Friedman Study Center in the Sciences Library, the staff and the service desk will relocate by July 1. The service desk will move up to the Mezzanine. Librarian offices are now on levels 6 and 7. Public service and processing staff will be on level 3, along with copiers, medical textbooks, newspapers, new books and periodicals. Consult with staff or call x3-3333 if you have any questions. Rest assured that the reinvigorated Sciences Library of 2007 will be well worth the wait! See Friedman Center press release for further information.
A revised guide to the Sciences Library stacks is now available at: http://www.brown.edu/library/services/Sstackguide.html
CIS will be switching the Off-campus Access Service proxy to another server late on Sunday night, June 11. The proxy will not be available for several hours, but should be up and running by Monday morning. If you experience any problems on Monday morning, please try again later in the day. If you continue to experience problems accessing eresources via the proxy server, please contact eresources@brown.edu.
The VPN client is an alternate and, in many cases, a more reliable method of remote access. You must have a broadband internet connection and not be using the Lifespan or other VPN client in order to use this method. More information
