Sinclair library hours are posted on the front doors, by the elevators, and on the Sinclair Library Web site.
Staff are on duty 65 hours/week, the Reserve Room is open 92 hours/week, and we have extended hours during final exams. Please see Library Hours for more information.
The Library provides public computers with Internet access on the First and Third Floors of the Library. Students with valid UH IDs may also use computers for accessing the Internet and word-processing at the CLIC lab located on the First Floor across from the Heritage Reading Room area.
Please note that CLIC is a separate unit from Sinclair Library--if you have problems or questions regarding their equipment or services, you should contact the Information Technology Services department (ITS) in Keller Hall.
Videos, CDs, and DVDs are located on the Third Floor in the Wong Audiovisual Center.
Items placed on reserve for class can be checked out at the Circulation Counter onthe Third Floor. Just ask for the items by the call number, the course, or the item at the Counter. You need a valid UH ID to check out these reserved items.
No, a patron may only purchase a Community Card or Associate Member Card during business hours and at Sinclair Library's Business Counter and Hamilton Library's Business Window.
Books can be returned at the information counter on the first floor or at the Circulation Desk on the third floor. Books may also be returned by using the book bin which is located to the right of the main entrance on the outside of the buillding.
1st and 2nd floors: The complete renovation of Sinclair Library (planned completion before 2010) will include air conditioning for all floors.
3rd floor: The library is deliberately kept cold in order to reduce insect infestation and the growth of mold and mildew on items in our collection. We recommend bringing a sweater or jacket if you plan to stay in the Library for an extended length of time.
