Beginning at midnight on August 18, the UT Libraries will institute a card swipe entry system for the Hodges Library between the hours of midnight and 7 AM, Sunday through Thursday. The second floor Melrose door will serve as the sole entry point for UT students, faculty, and staff during these hours, and a swipe of the VolCard will be required to enter. Individuals may still exit at the ground floor doors, but entry will be closed between midnight and 7 AM at the Volunteer entrance. If you’re planning to enter the Hodges Library after midnight, be sure to carry your VolCard with you.
