You may have noticed a small difference on individual posts lately. If you look at the bottom you will either see a comment link or a comment form. Please, let us know what you think about the stories we post, and the library in general. We love feedback and will respond to any questions you might have.

While the comment form requires an email address, we will not make it public. This is just one way to combat spam. We will also review comments before they appear on the site to make sure nothing inappropriate gets posted.

Please communicate with us! We want to know what you think. Other ways to converse include our Facebook page, group and the suggestion box in the Mullen lobby. There are also a number of ways to contact a librarian directly.

We look forward to hearing from you!

The first floor of Mullen Library will remain open until 2:00 am from Saturday, May 3rd to Thursday, May 8th.

Mullen Library hours May 3 - 10

The year is quickly coming to a close and we at the Libraries are happy to have been a part of your successes. Here are a few reminders:

• Please be sure you’ve returned all your library materials before the end of the semester. You can check “My ALADIN” to see what’s on your record. If you have any outstanding library fines or fees, pay them before you go, too. Payments for library fees cannot be accepted through Cardinal Station.
• Graduating? Congratulations! Please make sure you have taken care of your library obligations. Outstanding library fines and fees must be paid at the Library (cash, check, or cardinal cash) by 5:00pm on Thursday, May 15, 2008. If you don’t, you will not be able to get your diploma or transcripts.

If you have any questions, feel free to contact the Circulation Desk at Mullen Library at 202-319-5060 or circ@mail.lib.cua.edu.

Good luck on your finals!

Mullen Library and the campus libraries will be closed Wednesday, April 16 and Thursday, April 17 in honor of the visit of His Holiness Pope Benedict XVI. Libraries will resume their regular hours on Friday.

Please see the Mullen Library hours or the campus libraries hours for more information.

Effective January 14, CUA faculty, students and staff wishing to borrow materials through Interlibrary Loan will have one less step to complete. A “single sign on” is being instituted by the WRLC. What this means is that you can sign into MyALADIN once, using your last name and university ID, then move smoothly into an ILL request without having to log in again.

This change is being implemented at all of the Consortium libraries simultaneously. If you have questions, contact the Mullen Access Services department at 202-319-5060.

Starting January 14, 2008, there will be a change to the laptop borrowing policies at Mullen Library. Laptops will be loaned for a 4-hour period, rather than the current 2-hour loan period. No renewals will be allowed. If there are laptops available when you return yours on time, you may be able to borrow it for another 4-hour period.

We are making this change - at the same time that we are adding new computers - to try to meet the increasing demand for laptops while also recognizing that two hours is not an adequate loan period. If you have any questions about this, please feel free to contact the Mullen Library circulation desk at 202-319-5060.
