The UCF Libraries will be closed from Wednesday, 10/5, at 5:00 p.m. The John C. Hitt Library and the Library at Rosen College will open on Sunday, 10/9, at noon. The Curriculum Materials Center will open on Monday, 10/10, at 7.45 a.m. Online resources such as databases, electronic journals, and e-Books will be available, so library research can be conducted during the closure.

LibTech items due back after 5:00pm on 10/5/16 will automatically have their loan periods extended until the library reopens on Sunday 10/9 at 12:00pm noon. This does NOT include 4-hour items checked out on 10/5/16; those are due back to the LibTech Desk by 4:45pm that day.
