Librarian Contact Information

If you have general questions, you can also use the Ask A Librarian page to reach out to a member of the library team with your question. 

The library provides access to many resources beyond books, journals, and other research materials. 

• Printing, copying, and scanning: Students receive a limited number of credits to print each semester; after that, you can add money to your Loyola ID. Printers are available in the lower level and 1st floor of Cudahy, the Information Commons, and the 6th and 8th floor at Lewis. 
• Study rooms: You can book individual and group study rooms up to 24 hours in advance at Cudahy, Information Commons, and Lewis.
