Temporary Changes to Library Services

Thank you for your continued support of Columbia University Libraries. The Libraries staff wish to inform all students, faculty, staff, and users of a change taking place over the summer that may affect the availability of Library materials and services.

We have been excitedly preparing for over a year to transition our main integrative library system (used for tracking what books are checked out to whom, reserves, late fees, and nearly every other function essential to the library). We are thrilled to be adopting EBSCO FOLIO and look forward to streamlining many of our services to the community with this new system.

You can visit any service desk at any Library location or email aspsc@library.columbia.edu with questions or concerns you may have. Please see below for a full list of interruptions and guidance on using Library services during this time.
