Some areas of the Main Library are now open 9am-5pm, Monday-Friday and 12pm to 5pm on Saturday and Sunday. These areas include main-floor access to Circulation as well as our study and computing space on 1 East with access to MSU printing. As of Feb. 1st, we opened 1 West. Our total capacity at this time is 120 people. We also now have touchless lockers, where you may pick up materials. Outside of safety, our top priority is to provide access to all of our collections. We continue to offer virtual services. We also are paging materials and will continue to mail materials to faculty, staff, and students living off-campus. We encourage you to use our convenient distance services. Please see our Online and Distance Learning resource page for more information. |
Limp Bindings: The Ageless Book
Books in this case show a style, rather than an era. Limp structures, books without stiff covers, have been around since the beginning of the codex (2nd century AD). This structure can still be seen in our modern paperback books, although they look, and act, nothing like these earlier examples. Limp structures are typically covered in vellum, but paper is also used.
