Hello all!

Wishing everyone a successful and peaceful end to your semester/exam period. The Hirsh Health Sciences Library will have some adjusted hours for this holiday/winter season: on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday of this week, the Library Service Desk will close at 8pm. On Thursday, we will be closing at 5pm. The service desk will remain closed from Friday, December 22nd until Tuesday, January 2nd, when we will resume at 7:30am with our normal hours. The MedEd building will be open for tap access during this time, but the service desk will be closed, so feel free to reach out to hhsl@tufts.edu with any requests for assistance, and we will get back to you when we return to the office. Have a fun and safe break, and see you all again in the new year!

On Friday, November 11, the library will have reduced hours in observance of Veterans Day. The circulation desk will be open from 12:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. The building will still have normal card swipe access and will be available for you to study in.

The service desk will return to normal hours on Saturday. Librarians will be available for consultations on Monday, November 14.

We hope you enjoy the long weekend!

Sarah, holding textbooks we have on reserve

The books Sarah is holding? These are some of our course reserve collection!

All I, Sarah, ever talk about is course reserves. What in the world are course reserves?

Every semester, we scour syllabi to bring you the latest and greatest editions of your required textbooks to our Library Service Desk. These books are available for checkout for four hours at a time.

But if you need them while we’re closed, you can check them out an hour before we close and return it the next day an hour after we open. Just ask someone at the desk if we have your textbook available for checkout overnight.

We don’t just have textbooks: we have test prep for MCAT, INDBE, and the Steps. We also have the DSM-5 and the AMA Manual of Style!

We can’t wait to see you at the Library Service Desk, especially the next time you need Grant’s Dissector, Essentials of Epidemiology, or Fundamentals of Fixed Prosthodontics!
