As a direct response to customer requests, we have integrated the Reference books and Reference Index & Abstract volumes. All reference items are now shelved in ranges 26-44 on the main level of the library.
We are completing an inventory of the reference books, and will update labels on the book spines within the next week or two.
Additionally, we have brought all the Dewey Decimal books to the main level, and are beginning the process of spreading out the main book collection to allow for easier customer and staff access to the books. Now, all the books are on the main level, and all the back issues of journals are downstairs on the lower level. Please keep giving us your suggestions and we'll continue striving to make our library work for you. To see a map of the library, visit the Research Library Homepage and select MAP.
