Library Cost Study
The UW Management Accounting & Analysis Office is conducting an anonymous survey to determine how library services and materials are used. Data collected will be used to meet federal reporting requirements.
Usage & Access
UW users may access HSL by tapping their Husky card on the card reader at the 2nd floor entrance (T-227) or via the 3rd floor entrance during open hours.
UW Health Sciences students with after-hours access can continue to enjoy this privilege. See the FAQ page for more information.
If you need assistance accessing HSL, call the Information Desk at (206) 543-3390 from the 2nd floor of HSL and staff will assist you.
The HSL 2nd floor is reserved for quiet study. The HSL 3rd floor can be used for collaborative group work.
Visitors with UW borrower cards can access online resources at guest stations where Husky Cards are not required for library entry. Items can be requested for pick up at a UW Libraries hold shelf using the "Request UW Item" button in UW Libraries Search.
Masking
Masks are optional in the Health Sciences Library. See the EHS face covering policy for masking requirements in the UW Medical Center and other facilities.
