Solution:  Thank you for your suggestion.  It's great to know that there are students who actually want to stay to research and study in a library until 10 p.m.!
     It's unfortunate that we had to cut hours this semester.  We certainly want to be as accessible and patron-oriented as possible, and we really don't like turning people away from our door.  But due to budget constraints we found we needed to reduce the Library hours of operation.  We discussed how we could cut hours with minimal disruption to patrons and services.  We decided that at the end of the evening when there are fewer patrons would be preferable to the beginning of the day when we have people waiting for the doors to open.
     Let's hope that the economy and the Illinois budget will improve in the not too distant future so that we can return to our regular 10 p.m. closing.  Should you need to continue researching after the Library closes, don't forget about our online electronic resources.  They are accessible 24/7 from off-campus via ORCA.  Login with your Parkland e-mail account and use them all night if you wish.  (posted 10/03/2003)

Note:  After January 1 you can access the Library's electronic resources through "Parkland Connection."
