  Monday - Friday	9 a.m. - 4 p.m.

  Most ILCSO holdings can now be viewed through the new version of Illinet Online, but a few are still inaccessible.
  

• July 18, 2002 ~ The Books page (through which you may access Illinet Online) has changed. Because we are getting a new version of Illinet Online, there are now two links available for checking the online catalog. The link to the new version is available for previewing, but does not contain information on other institutions. The link to the old version does look at holdings information for other schools, but has been frozen (which means it has not been updated). Please choose accordingly.
  There is now an extensive fence around the parking lot in front of the library, blocking off the walkway past the library. To get to the temporary library, follow the signs for the temporary library offices; they will lead you to the entrance of CSTC. Once the school year has begun, the temporary entrance located on the south side of the library building (next to Irion Hall) will be available.
  We are still open to current Elmhurst faculty, staff, and students only -- if you do not fit into any of these categories, please save yourself the trip and try to use other libraries in the area.
  In addition to the photos of the exterior construction on the Photos page, there are photos of the interior construction available through the Elmhurst College Facilities Management web site.
  
  
• July 3, 2002 ~ As of 5pm today, the "Request First Available Copy" button of Illinet Online will be turned off until further notice.
