I know that not everyone reads the news about Orradre’s big construction project as thoroughly as we do over here at Heafey, so for those of you who missed this news the first time around, here’s a recap.  Orradre Library is Santa Clara University’s main campus library, and as all law review editors know, law faculty, students, and staff have full borrowing privileges there.  The old Orradre Library building closed a few weeks ago and is in the process of being demolished to make way for a new library on the same site.  The Orradre staff have managed to reestablish most of their services in a very large modular trailer that can be found between the parking garage and the Buck Shaw stadium.  We’ve toured the new temporary library structure, and we were amazed at how quickly the folks at Orradre got everything up and running!  The Circulation Desk has been operational since June 23, and the staff are ready to handle all of your library needs.  If you need library materials that are located at Orradre, simply look up the material in our online catalog, OSCAR, request the material from the ARS, then pick up your books a few hours later at Orradre’s Circulation Desk.  If the books that you need aren’t available from SCU libraries, try LINK+, which allows you to borrow books from other public and academic libraries in California and Nevada free of charge.  Even if you’re a law student or faculty member, you’ll still need to pick up and drop off LINK+ books at the new Orradre Circulation Desk.   Summer hours for Orradre can be found on the website.  If you have questions, contact Orradre at 408-554-5020.
