Extended hours beginning Saturday

Every term the library extends its hours during the exam period to accomodate the studying crowds. We open earlier and close later (for early birds and night owls). Well this year we are taking it a step further. For the first time, the library will remain open until 1:00am - not just during exams but starting this weekend.

So those students currently working on end-of-term assignments or who will be cramming for morning exams in a few weeks will have a late-night place to go - a study hall to call their own. Here's the complete schedule:

November 20 (Saturday) 10am - 1am
November 21 (Sunday) noon - 1am
November 22 - December 17 Monday - Saturday 8am - 1am; Sunday 10am - 1am
December 18 (final day of exams) 10am - 7pm
December 19 CLOSED
December 20 -21 9am - 5pm
December 22 9am - noon
January 3 9am - 5pm

Something else you should know: from November 20 - December 1 the Circulation Desk (book checkout, print credits, etc.) will be open until midnight; from December 2 - 17 it will close at 11 o'clock.

And finally, because we always love to hear from you, please let us know at some point whether you like these later hours and whether you take advantage of them.

Ever since I've came to SMU, students have been begging for longer study hours and even more 24 hour study spaces. It's AMAZING to see that people are actually listening to our concerns and I know tons of people will benefit from this change :) Great job !!!!!!

Great idea... I'm sure many students will appreciate having a quiet, comfortable place to go that late! Now if only there was somewhere we could get a midnight cup of coffee...

Doug Vaisey Retiring

After 39 years of wonderful public service, Doug Vaisey will be retiring as head of the Library’s Reference Department next week.  Doug joined Saint Mary’s shortly after graduating from Dalhousie’s Library School.  It wasn’t long before he was helping plan the move to the newly constructed Patrick Power Library.  As the library grew, so did the Reference Department.  Under Doug’s leadership, it quickly developed its reputation for unparalleled reference service and dedication to the Saint Mary’s research community, a reputation it maintains to this day.  Doug didn’t just preach the importance of great service, he served as its model, whether helping a struggling student with their first paper or a graduate student with the most challenging research needs. Countless Saint Mary’s students, past and present, got better grades because of his involvement.  And countless library school students and library staff were the beneficiaries of his rigorous training, encyclopedic know
