The Swisher Library's physical space will be closed from Monday, November 21, 2022, through Monday, January 2, 2023. During this time, the JU community is encouraged to reach out to Library faculty and staff via email. Visit our staff directory for contact information. The Swisher Library will continue to provide its virtual services during JU’s winter term.

The Library’s databases, electronic journals, and ebooks are accessible 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Follow our directions for accessing our resources wherever you're studying during winter term.

• Library Tutorials: Learn about searching a database, APA style, and more with our tutorial videos.
• Book-a-Librarian: Schedule an appointment to meet with a librarian virtually.
• E-mail: Send an e-mail to library@ju.edu and get a response from a librarian.
• Research Guides: Our Research Guides can get you started with your research.

The Library offers virtual, asynchronous library instruction during the winter term. These resources can be embedded in Blackboard.

If you are looking to return library materials, please use the book drop available near the main entrance.

Material processing will not take place during JU's employee winter break (December 19, 2022 - January 2, 2023).

• The Interlibrary Loan department will continue to process all electronic ILL requests up to 5:00 p.m. on Monday, December 9. Pending requests at that time are not guaranteed to be delivered until mid-January. 
• The last day to submit physical Interlibrary Loan requests is Friday, December 2.
• Any ILL requests, queries, or received items that are received after the above dates will be processed in the order which they were received upon return from winter break on January 3, 2023.
• Plan to turn in or renew your due physical Interlibrary Loan items before Wednesday, December 15, or risk accruing late fines over the holiday break. Remember, ILL fines are $1 per day.
