Beginning on Sunday, November 29, 2009, and continuing through Sunday, December 20, 2009, the Loyola/Notre Dame Library will be limiting access to the library. After 2:00 p.m. each day only students, faculty, and staff from the College of Notre Dame and Loyola University will be admitted. This will enable us to maximize the study space available to students of the two institutions during the final exam period.
Students from other institutions as well as the general public will be admitted only before 2:00 p.m. each day. In addition, priority use of library computers and study rooms will be given to students from Loyola University and College of Notre Dame.
These restrictions do not apply to students, faculty and staff of Loyola University and College of Notre Dame.

Currently on Exhibit: From Protest to Peace
Stop by the Ferguson Gallery at LNDL through Friday, December 4 to view “From Protest to Peace,” an exhibit of murals by the Derry Bogside Artists of Northern Ireland. From the exhibition statement:
"In 1994, brothers Tom and William Kelly and their friend Kevin Hasson joined together as The Bogside Artists. The artists personally experienced the unfolding of the Northern Irish 'Troubles' during their lifetimes and ultimately united to express the struggle for civil rights in their community through public art. While the group continues the Ulster tradition of using the mural for social commentary, The Bogside Artists stand alone in their efforts to utilize this medium in cross-community workshops involving Protestants and Catholics to advance the peace and reconciliation process in Northern Ireland."
For more information on the exhibit and the artists, visit www.protesttopeace.org.

Testing a new full-text article finder
The library is testing LinkSource in some databases; LinkSource is a program for linking article citations in one database to the full text of the article in another. Wherever you see the
icon appear in a list of search results, you’re looking at our trial of this software. Give it a try, but if it doesn’t link to the full text, don’t forget to look for our other full-text linker, which will be designated by the 
button or just the text reading ‘link to full text.’ These links may connect to the full text if LinkSource doesn’t. Bear with us as we work out the kinks and, as always, call your reference librarians at 410-617-6802 if you have any questions!

If you're taking a summer class, please make a note of this important information!
Starting on Monday, June 1, books ordered from the library catalog will only be delivered on Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. Please take this into consideration as you work on papers & projects this summer.
More details:
In the summer, the book delivery service provided by MIC -- the group of libraries with which we share our catalog (more here) -- is scaled back to three days a week. This affects books that you find in our library catalog and request using the "request" link in the blue banner at the top of the page -- books that are available at Baltimore International College, Columbia Union, Hood, Mount St. Mary's University, and Stevenson. Starting June 1, deliveries will be made every Monday, Wednesday and Thursday (excluding Thursday, June 4 and Monday, July 6).
In addition, from May 19 - 29, deliveries will be made on Tuesdays and Thursdays (that's May 19, 21, 26 adn 28).
If you have questions about what day a request you have made will arrive at your requested pickup point, please call the LNDL circulation desk at (410) 617-6801.
If you find yourself in a jam, don't forget that you can always go directly to the college that holds the book you need. You can also check the catalogs of other area libraries that offer LNDL patrons the ability to borrow material (they're the starred ones). And don't forget that the Enoch Pratt Free Library has extensive holdings that might just include what you're looking for. Get in touch with the LNDL reference desk if you need help figuring this out.
The regular delivery schedule -- daily, Monday through Friday -- will resume in the fall. We'll keep you posted!
