As of August 25, 2011, the South Campus (main) Library’s Main Floor is now open to UT Southwestern ID badge holders 24 hours a day, seven days a week.  Library staff will be available for assistance at the Information Desk from 7 a.m. – 7 p.m., Monday through Friday, and 1 p.m. – 5 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday.

At all other times, the Library’s front doors will be locked, and a UT Southwestern ID badge must be used at a new badge reader that has been installed at the entrance.  UT Southwestern employees or students who do not have their university-issued ID badge must contact Campus Police at 214-648-8311.

Please note that employees of Parkland Health & Hospital System and Children’s Medical Center are always welcome to use the Library during normal business hours; however, as a safety precaution, this particular after-hours benefit is available only to UT Southwestern employees and students.

The Library’s Main Floor houses the computer commons, which includes student computers; individual and group study rooms; open study space; and a comfortable Wi-Fi Lounge.  During unstaffed hours, the upper two floors of the Library will be closed.  New security measures have been implemented: several cameras are now located throughout the Main Floor, and campus police will regularly patrol the Library.
