Library Support under Current Circumstances

Physical access to the Boulder Labs Library is suspended. Do not return physical library books until operations return to normal.

Library staff remains virtually accessible to assist with eResources and services (e.g. bibliometric reports and literature reviews) during library operating hours (Monday-Friday 8am-4:30pm) via email (linked below by staff photos), Google Hangout, and Skype.

Interlibrary loan (ILL) staff are available to process your requests. Current ILL’s will be automatically renewed until normal operations resume. Electronic article and book chapter requests will continue to be accepted, but not new ILL book requests. Please have patience with the ILL Program because our lending libraries are mostly closed.

You can access all library resources (databases, eJournals and eBooks) as long as you are connected to the Boulder Labs network via VPN or Remote Desktop. Please contact your systems administrator for instructions on remotely connecting to the Boulder Labs network. However, while not on the Boulder Labs network, American Meteorological Society journals and others are available without the need for an account. For access to Wiley, Proquest Ebook Central, Web of Science, EBSCO, Springer, and Taylor & Francis you can create your own personal account while on Boulder Labs network to activate remote access. O'Reilly provides access to its eBooks with a free account, since you can't currently access the O'Reilly books in our print collection. In order to access Elsevier and Proquest (GeoRef, MGA) databases, contact Stacy Bruss to help set you up with an account. For eResource access issues, please contact your Boulder Labs Librarians (NOAA and NTIA) and Marilyn White and Julie Jew (NIST).
