The following was shared in a Campus Notice to all academics, students, and staff at UC San Diego on September 19, 2024:

The state’s budget situation has caused some financial constraints for the University of California. As a result, the Library must adjust its services and collections investments to preserve those that are most useful to the campus community.

The following changes will be introduced beginning September 23, 2024:

  • Modified hours at Geisel Library: 
    • Sunday through Thursday, the building will close to all users at 10 p.m.
    • Friday and Saturday, the building will close at 6 p.m.
  • Some public computers on floors 1 and 2 in Geisel Library will transition to monitor-only stations to best meet current student needs.
  • The media reserves service has been curtailed. If you need streaming media that is not currently in the Library’s collections, please complete the collection request form.
  • Additional services may experience delays as we reallocate resources; thank you for your patience.

While we make these adjustments, we are committed to supporting your academic success and serving you as efficiently as possible while maintaining the high-quality resources you expect from the Library.

We appreciate your understanding and continued support. Should you have any questions or feedback, please contact us at ucsdlibrary@ucsd.edu.
