博彩网站 Library Closure Policy
Purpose
Under some conditions, the 博彩网站 Library in the Biomedical Information Communication Center (BICC) building on Marquam Hill will be closed during regular business hours. This policy describes the Library’s response in those situations and what services will continue to be available during a closure.
BICC 24-hour space
The 博彩网站 Library’s 24-hour space on the 4th floor of the BICC building will remain open to 博彩网站 badge holders (via badge swipe access) during a closure unless 博彩网站 Facilities decides to prevent access to the building.
Modified Operations
The 博彩网站 Library’s physical location in the BICC building will be closed or have reduced hours when 博彩网站 declares certain levels of Modified Operations (internal link).
The 博彩网站 Library may reduce hours or close its physical spaces in circumstances where we are unable to meet the staffing levels required to keep the Library’s 3rd floor BICC location functioning, such as during inclement weather.
Services available during a building closure
When the 博彩网站 Library’s physical location in the BICC building is closed, the Library will continue to offer reference and consultation services virtually during regular business hours as long as electricity and network connectivity are available.
During a closure, anyone needing to use the Library may use the Contact the Library form or leave a message on our phone 503-494-3460, and staff will respond as soon as possible during regular business hours.
