Some Special Collections materials stored in the Main Library’s lower level are in the process of being moved as a precaution against a rising water level. This shift in location may make some collections difficult or impossible to retrieve through the duration of the flood.

Researchers and scholars who expect or wish to use Special Collections materials should contact the department at 319-335-5921 or lib-spec@uiowa.edu to confirm that specific materials will be available to them in a timely way.
