Books on the 4th floor east side are now accessible to all. Thanks for your patience!

Update: Books with call numbers L7.T37 to ML 410.B4L597 are now accessible. Books with call numbers from ML 410 .B4L597 to PA6217 remain inaccessible.

Perry Library book collections on the east side of the 4th floor are temporarily inaccessible because of construction and clean-up work currently underway. Books in call number areas L1 – PA6217 (including education, music and art subjects) are sealed off and inaccessible to both patrons and library staff. Paging materials for patrons is not currently an option.

Until the clean-up is completed, you may consider one of the following options:

» Use Interlibrary Loan to request these materials. Arrival time usually ranges from 3-10 days.
» Find out if the book you need is available through a Virginia Tidewater Consortium (VTC) library. If it is, you can obtain a Consortium card at the 2nd floor Circulation Desk which allows you to check materials out from these local area libraries (faster than using interlibrary loan).

Please contact staff at the Learning Commons Help Desk or Circulation Desk for assistance.

On Monday, March 5, 2012, from 12:30pm to approximately 3pm, the interlibrary loan system ILLiad will be unavailable due to scheduled maintenance. The Interlibrary Loan office will remain open for pick up and drop off of materials, but users will be unable to place requests for new materials or check the status of existing requests. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the ILL office at 757-683-4170 or libill@odu.edu.
