Library News

We're open til 4! Neither snow nor rain nor sleet…

…nor gloom of night…will keep Snell Library from its appointed mission!  We are open today, Wednesday, January 12 until 4pm. If you’re not snowbound and you need a place to work or study, we are fortunate to have staff members Trish Reinhart, Stephanie Knutson and Tom Quinn who braved the elements and are staffing the Circulation Desk just in case you need assistance!   Call x8778 for any questions. The Reference Desk is closed but you can text us, we are monitoring our text account if you have any immediate research questions. The Digital Media Design Studio is open. The University Archives are closed. The Infocommons is closed. Many thanks to the staff who came in today, and if we don’t see you, enjoy your hot chocolate and we’ll see you tomorrow.

Facts about Faxing

One question we get a lot at the Research Assistance desk is, “Where can I send a fax?” We don’t have a fax machine for student use in the library, but here are two options on campus: ⇒ Ell Building Copy Center (NU Reprographics) Cost: $1.50 for 1st page; 50 cents for each additional page Hours of operation: M-F 7:30 a.m.-6:00 p.m. Phone number: 617-373-5646 ⇒ ResMail, Speare Hall Cost: $1.00 for 1st page; 50 cents for each additional page Hours of operation: M-F 8:00 a.m.-7:45 p.m.; Sat 10:00 a.m.- 3:45 p.m. Phone number: 617-373-5108 (Note: This information is accurate as of today but is subject to change.)

Let's Talk about Printing

We welcome all library guests to use our space, services, and resources here at Snell Library; however, just as a reminder, printing from Snell Library computers is available to students, faculty, and staff of Northeastern University. If you are an alumnus, a Northeastern parent, or a user of government publications and would like to print, you can visit the Circulation Desk on Level One or the Research Assistance Desk on Level Two to request printouts. If you do not fall into one of the above categories, we recommend emailing your files to yourself or saving them to a flash drive (available for sale in the NU Bookstore) in order to print them from another location. If you have any questions, please contact Lesley Milner at l.milner@neu.edu.
