Library spaces
Our physical locations will remain closed for in-person services this summer, yet we will continue to provide study space for students with campus access. We look forward to welcoming MIT community members to our physical locations, including the newly renovated Hayden Library, this fall.
New library search platform
On July 13, 2021, the Libraries are launching a new library search platform that will enhance the discoverability of our rich array of resources. The launch of this major systems upgrade was planned to ensure as minimal impact as possible on the community — users will still be able to access online resources and request books, book chapters, and articles during the upgrade. For more information on the new platform, please see our FAQ.
