UMASS AMHERST LIBRARIES
ANNOUNCES EXPANDED SERVICES AND HOURS
Amherst, MA – The UMass Amherst Libraries announces expansion of services to users.
The Integrated Sciences and Engineering Library added 10 hours per week to the schedule. It is now open until 11:00 p.m., Sundays through Thursdays, instead of 9:00 p.m. The complete hours are Monday to Thursday, 8:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m., Friday 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Saturday 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., and Sunday 1:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. The new hours are posted on the Library’s website at http://www.library.umass.edu/hours.html.
A team of 18 librarians has created over 80 new subject research guides (http://www.library.umass.edu/subject). These are designed to be convenient and relevant to students and faculty doing research, and can be embedded in the campus course management system, SPARK. A link to the page can also be found on the Library web site: www.library.umass.edu.
