The Lamar Soutter Library’s physical space will be closed Tuesday, April 7 at 5 p.m. until further notice.
During this time there will be no access to the library’s physical space via card access. We apologize for the inconvenience.
Although our librarians will not be able to assist you in person, you can reach them directly through email, phone (see Contact Information below) or through the Ask a Librarian service. Library staff may suggest setting up a Zoom meeting with you to better understand your information needs.
If you have any questions or concerns about this change, please feel free to reach out to me directly via email: Mary.Piorun@umassmed.edu.
Our librarians have pulled together a collection of vetted and scholarly information on COVID-19 and emergency preparedness.
