Java City reopened this week and will be on their summer schedule; 8am until 1pm, Monday-Friday.

So you’ve probably noticed by now that construction work to replace brick pavers surrounding the lower level of Cooper Library began yesterday. It will continue through mid-August.

Everyone is encouraged to observe barricades, temporary fencing, construction signage and avoid this area if possible while work is under way. Parking services has temporarily relocated some handicap parking spaces adjacent to this area during this construction period.

While all efforts were made during the design process to minimize the impact on the surrounding area, some trees will be removed to repair significant subsurface structural problems. Clemson University landscape services and the general contractor will take precautions to preserve the remaining trees, including specialized pruning, additional fertilization, tree monitoring and tree protection fencing on the site. The budget for this project includes replacing the trees and landscaping affected by this construction.

For questions related to this project, contact John Gambrell, project manager, at john3@clemson.edu.

Congratulations to all of our graduates!

We frequently get questions about what happens to library access after graduations.

Off campus access to our online resources (databases, ejournals, ebooks) is contractually restricted to current students, faculty and staff. Sometime after graduation, the Registrar’s office updates graduates records to indicate their status has changed from current student to alumni. Once this change has occurred, the ability to login through with your former userID and password will cease. These resources can be used if you are in the libraries.

Student IDs expire shortly after graduation and remain expired unless you enroll for summer classes. As alumni, you can now get an alumni borrower’s card.

Only current Clemson students, faculty and staff are eligible to use InterLibrary Loan.

Cooper Library will be closed this weekend, May 12-13.

We will reopen on Monday, May 14 at 7:30am and begin our summer hours.
