Join UCI Libraries for the launch event of this year-long exploration by UCI Humanities Center of Encountering Oceans: Explorations of Space, Time, and the Human. This event includes an introduction from University Librarian Lorelei Tanji, followed by a panel discussion led by Dean of the School of Humanities Tyrus Miller. Explore a UCI Libraries’ virtual display on Oceans including readings, films and websites to start your exploration.

The UCI Libraries are developing plans for a phased reopening in consultation with campus administration and stakeholders. The safety of library visitors and staff is a primary concern as we develop this plan, and we are incorporating proactive steps to support physical distancing and safe use of library services, resources, and facilities. Timelines and details TBD - pending guidance.
