Our collections are open to any member of the community, provided that guidelines designed to promote the security and integrity of the collections are followed. We have a "closed-stack" system, which means that researchers request to have items retrieved from our stacks, and then these books or archival collections are delivered to our Reading Room for research use.
Health and Safety Guidelines
- Masks are required regardless of vaccination status. See go.depaul.edu/covid for updates and guidance.
