LIBRARY GUIDE
COVID-19 Changes
We have made some changes to our building and services to meet COVID-19 social distancing guidelines and best practices.
We hope these changes will keep our community safe while still providing a full range of library services to all SAU students, faculty and staff.
Building Admission:
The library building and its resources are available for use by all members of the SAU community (faculty, staff, and students); access is also available to community members at this time. Please note: all people using the building must abide by standing campus restrictions.
Library Hours
The library's building hours have been reduced to allow staff extra time to clean and disinfect the building. Chat with a Librarian online 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to get help with finding books and articles, research strategies, and APA or MLA citation questions.
Library Seating
Library seating has been moved or removed to encourage social distancing. Tables and study spaces are available on each floor of the library. Please see a library staff member if you need assistance finding a study space.
Conference Rooms & Quiet Study Rooms
Returning books
Students taking classes online and who do not live within driving distance of SAU may request a prepaid return shipping label.
If you have any questions about your book returns, please contact the library.
Headphones, charges, and other equipment
Headphones are not available check-out at this time. Chargers, adapters, and other tech/equipment may be available on a limited basis.
Workroom Services
The Workroom, located on the lower level of the library, is currently operating with reduced hours. All services are still available by appointment or fill out a Workroom Project Order Form to have your project completed by Workroom staff.
Research and APA Citation Help
