24/7 Library Access – Unavailable

Early in the COVID-19 shutdown, the Library staff had hoped to be able to resume 24/7 iCard access during Governor Pritzker’s Recovery Phase 4. However, the reality of the University’s COVID-19 sanitizing and PPE requirements (listed above) means that the Library is only able to provide staffed hours. Therefore, the Library will not be providing 24/7 access for the fall 2020.

Learning Lab and Study Rooms – Available only for testing and curricular-based instruction

Due to University COVID-19 guidelines that all computing spaces must be monitored, the Learning Lab will only be available for testing and curricular-based instruction. Additionally, the University guidelines state that study rooms are to remained closed until the risk of COVID-19 transmission is reduced. The Library has worked with UICOMP for accommodations for testing and curricular-based instruction.

Below is a slideshare presentation of the anatomical model catalog available at the Library of the Health Sciences Peoria.  They are available on the shelves by the windows in the study area of the library.  If you have any questions about the models, please inquire at the service desk at the front of the Library.
