Author: Library News

As per the the mandate given by Dr. Labberton on March 17, the Hubbard Library will be closed starting Saturday, March 21 until Sunday, April 12*. As such, Hubbard Library has to make slight changes to the following services:

• • – Scan on Demand—Hubbard Library is temporarily lifting the distance restriction on Scan on Demand until April 12*. Requests for this service can be placed through the InterLibrary Loan form, located here. Be sure to select if your request is for an article or book chapter.  We still have to remain within copyright (15 percent of a work or less) and requests will be limited to three (3) per person, per week. Given our reduced staff, we are unable to permit more than three (3) requests and more than three (3) requests from a patron will be cancelled. Also, please allow longer than usual (4-5 business days) processing times for requests.
  • – Books by Mail—Hubbard Library is suspending this service until Sunday, April 12*.
  • – Books due during library closure—If you have a due date that is during the closure, you can turn in all your books to the book drop outside the Library. You may also extend your due dates through your Library Account. Click the orange “My Account” button on the top left-hand corner of the Library site. Then, click on your name and in the drop down menu, “My Account.” On this page, you can click on “Renew” on the items you want to keep longer. After the closure, books will be due at the end of day on Monday, April 13th. Course Reserves books kept during the break will continue to accrue fines which will not be waived. If you have any questions or concerns about due dates, please email [email protected]
  • – Course Reserves—Items in Course Reserves will not be available for checkout during the closure.
  • – Reference Librarians, Electronic Services, Circulation—Our team is available to be reached virtually should patrons have any issues in using eBooks and databases. We have a Resources Page on our website with many how-to’s and also in our Canvas course. For further assistance, patrons may contact our reference librarians at [email protected], our electronic resources team at [email protected], and our circulation team at [email protected].

*This date may be changed in the future.

If you have any questions, please feel free to email [email protected]. Thank you for your patience in this matter and have a wonderful day!

Sincerely,
Daniell Whittington
Executive Director of the Library

Good Afternoon Hubbard Library Patrons,

In light of recent recommendations by the CDC, local government, health institutions, and the recent announcement by Dr. Labberton on March 12, the Hubbard Library is implementing the following actions immediately in order to do our best to serve the Fuller community and its well-being:

• – Library Hours: Library hours for Thursday and Friday, March 19 and 20, will be 9am – 7pm.
• – Interterm/ Spring Break Hours: The library is closed beginning on March 21. As of right now we are reopening on April 13th but that won’t be fully confirmed until an update that is scheduled to happen by at least April 6th.
• – Library Spaces: Library takes efforts towards wiping down doors, buttons, and workstations. Patrons can help by being vigilant in washing their hands prior to and after handling books and using computer stations.
• – DeStress for Success: This event, which we look forward to hosting every finals season, is cancelled for the sake and health of our campus community.
• – InterLibrary Loan (ILL): Physical items requests through ILL will be cancelled. We will attempt to locate and purchase digital copies of items within our academic scope, however, we will not process those only available in print. Article and book chapter requests will be fulfilled but requests for entire books or journals will be cancelled because we still need to remain within copyright permissions. Only 15 percent or two chapters, whichever is less, may be requested.
• – Course Reserves: Students may need to purchase their print only required books in Course Reserves if a digital replacement by the instructor is not located.
• – Guest Visitors, Alumni, SCATLA patrons, Archives researchers, Local Scholars, and Local Clergy: At this time, we must suspend access to these patrons into our Library. Only current students, faculty, staff, visiting scholars – are permitted. We may lift this restriction at the end of the month with careful consideration.
• – Computer lab and other collaborative areas: We request that collaboration of groups be limited. Any collaborative space with more than 10 chairs will have extra chairs removed to allow for the recommended six feet (2 meters) of space. When the time comes, we will prevent access to group study rooms and cancel any reservations.
• – Book return: We respectfully ask patrons return all of books via the book drop outside the library, if it is not necessary for you to enter. This also applies to Course Reserve books.
• – Illnesses: To echo Dr. Labberton’s post, “individuals with a fever are prohibited from campus, and individuals with other COVID-19 related symptoms are strongly encouraged to stay home.”
• – Help to access resources: Our team is available to be reached virtually should patrons have any issues in using eBooks and databases. We have a Resources Page on our website with many how-to’s and also in our Canvas course. For further assistance, patrons may contact our reference librarians at [email protected], our electronic resources team at [email protected], and our circulation team at [email protected].

I want to end this post with encouragement from Psalm 59:16—”But I will sing of your strength, in the morning I will sing of your love; for you are my fortress, my refuge in times of trouble.” Let us pray for God to grant us peace, strength, and courage for ourselves, community, and the world.

I personally thank you for reading this post and am grateful for your flexibility regarding the library during this time. As we move forward, we hope to continue to assist and help you throughout the Spring quarter and beyond. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to email me at [email protected].

Respectfully,

Daniell Whittington
Executive Director of the Library

In the next few weeks, some light repairs will occur in the Library and noise will be kept at a minimum. During this time, you may also notice something that smells like gas / sewage which is normal when working on areas in the ceiling.

Contact [email protected] with any questions. Thank you for your cooperation!

You are invited to celebrate National Anthropology Day and learn about a great resource for cultural research. Come take part in a webinar on the Human Relations Area Files (HRAF) that is one of the Fuller Library databases for the School of Intercultural Studies: eHRAF. If you are doing cultural research, you should plan to attend. Part of our time together will involve your carrying out searches related to your research.

We will be holding the event on Thursday, February 20th from 2:00 p.m. until 3:30 in 490 Conference Room (2nd floor of 490 E. Walnut). Coffee and snacks will be provided.

There will also be a give away of swag from the American Anthropological Association. This is part of Fuller Seminary’s participation in National Anthropology Day. For those who cannot attend in person, we unfortunately don’t have any swag, but we do have a Blue Jeans link to offer: bluejeans.com/420289128. The session will be recorded and posted on the CMR website if you do happen to miss out.

Celebrate Black History Month by checking out some of our new titles!
