O'Flaherty Papers
The Daniel Library recently added the O'Flaherty Papers to its collection. J. Daniel O'Flaherty generously donated the papers of James C. O'Flaherty (1914-2002) to complement the Collection of Hamanniana and Nietzscheana (approximately 200 books) accessioned previously by The Citadel's Daniel Library. Together they constitute the largest holding of writings by or on the philosopher Johann Georg Hamann outside of Germany. Professor Albert E. Gurganus arranged and classified the newly acquired materials.

Library Renovation FAQ’s
How long will the renovation take?
The renovation is scheduled to take place between May 10 and Sept 26.
Will it be loud at the library during the renovation?
Yes, during certain times there will be active demolition happening on the construction side of the library. We have headphones available at the Circulation Desk as well as foam earplugs at the Reference Desk.
Will there be a lot of dust and debris in the library during the renovation?
No. The functioning part of the library will be separated by a wall from the construction side. This will block any dust and debris created by the construction. Dust and debris will not be mitigated on the 2nd floor which is why it will be off limits during the renovation period.
What are your hours during the renovation?
We are open 8am-9pm Monday-Thursday and 2pm-9pm on Sunday. We are closed Friday and Saturday. Please see our calendar for specific hours and closings.
Will you have restrooms available?
No. During the renovation, restrooms in the library will be unavailable. Restrooms are available on the 1st and 2nd floors of Mark Clark Hall.
Will you have computers available?
Yes. We have 15 computers available along the back wall. Computer use is restricted to student, faculty, staff and Friends of the Library. We will not have computers available for visitor use during the renovation. Any person seeking access to our federal government documents collection should see a reference librarian for assistance.
Will there be printing available?
Yes. We have one black and white printer available. No color printer will be available during the renovation.
Can I check out a laptop?
Yes. We will be checking out laptops for use outside on the patio. Patrons assume responsibility for the laptop during the loan period. If the laptop is physically damaged, lost or stolen during the loan period, patrons will be wholly responsible for replacement. Please keep this in mind when checking out a laptop for use outside.

Will there be any group rooms available?

Renovation Timeline
The Daniel Library will undergo a renovation this summer that will close down parts of the building, and result in a renovated entrance, new service desk, new center staircase, asbestos removal, replaced ceilings and energy-efficient lights.
From Friday, May 7, 2010 through Sunday, May 9, 2010, the Daniel Library will be closed for asbestos abatement related to this planned renovation project.
When the Daniel Library reopens at 8:00 am on Monday, May 10, 2010, only the north end of the building will be accessible. This means that patrons will enter through the handicapped entrance or the patio door entrance. In the Board of Visitors (BOV) area on the north end of the Daniel Library, we will situate service desks and most behind-the-scenes functions. There will be a limited number of computer workstations for affiliated Citadel faculty/staff/students to use. Collections will be limited to first floor books, journals, microforms, some magazines and some newspapers. Course reserves and third floor collections will also be accessible. DVDs will not be lent during this time period.
The second floor collections will not be accessible for the duration of the project. Anything needed from these subject areas will be obtained through PASCAL Delivers. Rare Book Room materials will not be accessible. First floor and second floor restrooms, loading dock and elevator will not be accessible. Java City will not be in operation.
The summer schedule will commence on Monday, May 10, 2010 meaning that the library will be open on Sundays from 2pm-9pm, Mondays-Thursdays from 8am-9pm. During the summer, the library will be closed all day on Fridays and Saturdays, in alignment with the college's mandated four-day workweek.
The contractors will release the building back to us by August 25, 2010. As the project progresses, we will keep you informed through our renovation blog, Daniel Library blog, and Facebook page.

The Citadel and the American Civil War Research Guide

It features archival material, journal articles, books, and Web resources. Also included are the Daniel Library Friends Guest Speakers' publications. We will continue to add to the Guide as sesquicentennial commemorations and special dates approach.
