Due to COVID-19 CDC recommendations and public health safety, the DuBois Library space will be closed Friday, March 20, 2020 and will remain closed until further notice. The University Libraries website is 100% open and available, as are library faculty and staff. 
 
We're here to help! Contact us for reference help, research consultations, instruction, and other online services https://libraries.psu.edu/directory/dubois
 
Our online resources are available on our website: http://libraries.psu.edu
 
The following list is a brief summary of services. Please contact us with questions.
 

  • Reference and research consultation will be conducted via email, phone, and/or Zoom. Contact us individually. The Ask a Librarian service on the University Libraries website will continue to operate as normal (https://libraries.psu.edu/ask). 
  • Instruction will be conducted remotely via Zoom. We can also provide asynchronous options. Please contact Emily Zimmerman.
  • Interlibrary loan requests for copies will be processed but dependent on the ability of other libraries to fill them. Requests for loans of print materials will not be processed until the library re-opens.
