The second floor Lockwood site is an extended hours location open until 2 a.m. during the week while the first-floor south area in the UGL is open 24 hours a day, Monday through Thursday.
All sites are open during the library's regular hours.
In October, about 60 open ports for laptops also will be available at the sites. The powerful computers with the new furniture, carpeting, lighting and painting create vibrant, attractive and engaging atmospheres. Adams-Volpe added that the libraries have become even more central to students and faculty members for access to information in all formats. According to Karen Senglaup, director of access services for the libraries, the sites are used extensively, especially in the late and overnight hours. Margaret Wells, director of the UGL, explained that the extended hours recognize the busy schedules and diverse study styles of students who often have jobs and other obligations that may keep them from using computer and library resources during normal hours.
