About the NCAR Library

One Library: Three Locations

The NCAR Library is one library with three locations -- one at each of its major campuses. Staffed from 8-noon and 1-5 p.m. Monday through Friday, NCAR and UCAR staff have 24 hour access to the library. Each location has spaces to meet and network, and provides access to e-mail, the Internet, copiers, printers and scanners. Each location also has a unique set of hardcopy journals and books, so consult the NCAR Library catalog for a book or journal's location.
