Library Access
Who Can Access the Libraries and Library Materials
Library materials and buildings will only be accessible to Clemson students, faculty and staff.
Unfortunately, the COVID-19 Pandemic has required us to examine our services and how we can redirect resources and personnel to best accommodate instruction support on campus and online. As a result, for Fall 2021, those entering libraries on campus will be required to swipe in with their University ID . This means that community members will not have access to the library or to materials. Instead, we’d like to redirect community access users to your local public branch libraries for any immediate needs. We look forward to being able to serve you again soon.
Special Collections and Archives
Special Collectives and Archives available by appointment only. Digitization of some materials is available by request. If you have any questions, you can reach the via email at archives@nullclemson.edu or call 864-656-5176.
