HGARC Reading Room Closed for Renovations

In order to facilitate renovations to the Reading Room, the Gotlieb Center will be closed to on-site researchers from the close of business on Friday May 18, 2012 and reopening to researchers on Monday June 11, 2012. Although on-site research will not be possible during this period, we will continue to answer reference requests and to make appointments for mid June and beyond. We apologize for any inconvenience and thank our researchers for their patience as we improve our facility. Also, starting on Monday, May 21, 2012, The Arthur Fiedler Reading Room will be temporarily closed for a special project. Please see the attendant at the Music Library desk if you need to access the materials in the Fiedler Room.
