Latest News and Services in the Library

• Collection Shift on the 8th floor

Currently, we are in the process of shifting the 8th floor collection on the east side. The space behind the elevators will be cleared. So the books with call number J's (Political Science) will be gradually moved from behind the elevators to beyond the elevators. After the shift is done in spring 2012, University Information Technology Services will use the space behind the elevators to establish a usability lab.

There are, at present, desks put in the area behind the elevators on the west side of the floor for student use because there are electrical outlets along the wall of that area.

• Upcoming Move of Kent Cooper Room Newspapers and Periodicals

The Kent Cooper Room newspapers and periodicals will be relocated to the Reference Room on the first floor, Wells Library in early 2012. At present, currently subscribed newspapers and periodicals are shelved in the Government Information and Kent Cooper Services, 2nd floor of the East Tower, Wells Library.
