Coronavirus-- We're Going Online!

As outlined in Dr. Finger's March 16 announcement, Reeves Learning Commons will be closing for the remainder of the semester. 

What does this mean for the library?

  • The library's physical spaces will be closed beginning at 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday, March 17, 2020. 
  • Any regular library materials that have been borrowed by students have been renewed through May 1, 2020. 
  • We will no longer be providing books via interlibrary loan for the rest of the semester. We will continue to fulfill article requests, as these are done electronically. Please be aware that many other libraries around the country have also closed, so it may be more difficult for us to find a lender. We will do our best!
  • Any interlibrary loan materials, reserve items, or regular library items that you have out that you need to return should be either dropped off at the Campus Police office (Admin Annex 115, across from the Greensburg Room) or returned to the library via mail (Reeves Library, 1 Seton Hill Dr., Greensburg, PA  15601). 


What IS still open?

  • All of our electronic resources! Our databases, Ebook Central, our LibGuides, open access materials, our YouTube channel-- all of those resources are still at your fingertips. 
  • The library staff will continue to be available via email throughout the closure-- if you have a question or need support, email one of us. Most of us will not have access to our work phones, but we may be able to call you back if you need real-time support.
