Updated Schedule for Expanded Summer Library Services
-
A number of instructors of summer courses sought the continued use of ETAS through the end of July (past our initial planned end date of July 18).
-
The limited number of appointments to access the bookstacks that we are able to provide while ETAS is in place has been sufficient to fill requests from our faculty and graduate students during the initial weeks of the bookstacks pilot.
-
After our preliminary plan was released on June 8, Illinois and Chicago moved rapidly to Phase 5, with full reopening on June 11, and the University has provided updated guidance for Phase 5 transition. The ongoing increase of in-person activities at the University necessitates the discontinuation of HathiTrust’s pandemic-related ETAS program as of August 1, providing a transition period in the coming month for those who have been using the temporary service.
-
Bookstacks Access: A limited number of appointments to browse the Regenstein, Crerar, and Eckhart bookstacks are available to faculty, OAAs, and graduate students.
-
Use self-checkout kiosks or the Checkout UChicago app in Regenstein to check out books. Please note: Print materials that are accessible online via the HathiTrust ETAS program cannot be checked out.
-

Paging & Pickup: Borrowers will be able to pick up books without a reservation.

Open browsing and checkouts: Bookstacks in Regenstein and Crerar will be open to all UChicago faculty, OAAs, students and staff. No appointments will be necessary. Books and other materials may be checked out at Regenstein using the self-checkout machines or Checkout UChicago app.
-
HathiTrust ETAS has ended. Please note: the Library’s ongoing commitment to providing electronic resources continues. Even after ETAS access ends, the Library will have links in its catalog to over 3 million electronic titles, including books, journals, databases and other media.
