Welcome to Harvard Library! This guide will help support your use of library resources and services.

COVID-19 Update:

• Harvard Library spaces will began reopening this Fall 2021 semester. See this news article for more details. Currently, for Harvard Extension School, only degree candidates and premedical program participants are eligible to visit campus. Find more details in the ID Cards and Campus Access section of the HES COVID-19 Updates page, and email idcards@extension.harvard.edu with any questions.
• We no longer have the increased access to digitized books through HathiTrust (a temporary pandemic arrangement) after library buildings reopened this Fall. 
• Scan and Deliver, which offers an electronic scan of book chapters (two per book not exceeding 20% of the work) or journal articles (two per issue) is available to all students.

• The Harvard Library Calendar contains information about upcoming events, such as workshops for students, like HOLLIS workshops, and workshops for faculty, like the Teaching with the Library series.  
• Attend a one-time Zotero class to learn more about organizing your research. Check the Research Management and Citation Tools at Harvard page for upcoming online classes.  
• View our recently created One-Minute Videos for quick research help on specific tasks.
