New Book Locations

As part of the transition into the new library building, periodicals and books with call numbers PR - Z will be inaccessible to library patrons until the 29th of April.

Books with the Call numbers J-PN are shelved in the Book stacks of the North Wing (Cain Library), but have been moved to the 4th floor. These items are still accessible by the public.

Folio (oversize) materials and books with call numbers A-H will remain on the 3rd floor after being redistributed throughout the stacks to take advantage of the additional space. These books may also be unavailable while they are being shifted.

If you need a book which is currently in the South wing or in transit to its new location, please come to the Circulation Desk and fill out a request form. Requested books are searched for once a day and are usually available within 2 Business days from the time of request.

Retrieved books will be held on the hold shelf for one week.

Library Web Services Downtime

Starting Friday (3/26) at 6:00 PM to Sunday (3/28), some of the services on the Library website might not be available or fully functional. This is due to the Chancellor's Office’s relocation of computer servers which provide search functionality to all CSU campuses. Services that might be affected include

• The All 23 CSU Library Catalog
• Cross-database access to full-text articles located in other databases, such as:
  • The "Find it at CSUDH Lib" button
  • The "Click HERE to to get a copy from CSUDH Library, Or make an InterLibrary Loan (ILL) Request." Button
• The Inter-Library Loan form's auto-population features.
• Access to our article databases through Google Scholar

Note that full text access to articles will still be available during this time if they are in the database you are currently searching. You may experience difficulty switching between databases in your search, however.

Library Renovation Project

Beginning Tuesday, March 2 through April 29, the second floor of the library building will be undergoing renovation. During this time, some library services will be limited or relocated. We apologize for the inconvenience to our users, and thank you for your patience as we prepare newer and better facilities.

The following services will be impacted during these dates:

• Computers – Regrettably, computer access in the library will be limited to 26 computers. These computers are located in the Internet Café and the Instruction Lab (A213). The reference area computers on the second floor will not be available. Please plan to use the Welch Hall or Instructional Media Center computer labs during the renovation process. Printing will still be available.

• Seating – Second floor seating will be unavailable. Please use the third and fourth floors of the library during this period.

• Reference – The reference desk will be relocated to the opposite side of the second floor, next to the circulation desk.

• Information Desk – The information desk will be relocated to the Instruction Lab.
