MESSAGE FROM SIPI LIBRARY 3/27/2020
Hello SIPI,
I hope this email finds you healthy, happy and motivated during these uncertain days we are experiencing. I would like to provide a brief email on SIPI Library related information.
SIPI Library is closed for checkout of physical items. If you checked anything out during the SPRING 2020 trimester, please do not worry about an overdue fee. Our auto-generated emails might sound stringent but please be assured that your health and well-being are number one during this COVID-19 Pandemic. With that in mind, we will not add any bills for any SPRING 2020 checked out items although we will reach out and assist you in ways of returning books, dvds and calculators in the near future.
Students and Instructors, SIPI Library does have online database access to academic journals, reference and national news through the EBSCO, Credo andAmerica's News databases. There is also access to full-text electronic books through several EBSCO Databases. Please email me directly for authentication to access the databases.
Respectfully,
Jolene Manus
SIPI Librarian
