More Moving Today

The permanent furniture is arriving for the Reference, Electronic Library Services, Worldwide Document Delivery, and Interlibrary Loan departments this afternoon. Computers will be dismantled, old furniture will be moved out, and new furniture will be installed, so there will be some service interruptions. We are hoping to return to full functionality by tomorrow afternoon!

Moving, Phase II

The Electronic Library Services, Interlibrary Loan, and Worldwide Document Delivery departments have begun moving into their new offices in order to make room for Alumni Services to move into the back of the library. The furniture has not arrived yet, so everyone is making do with temporary furniture, partially connected workstations, and everything else in moving bins! We're trying not to let that interfere with our work, but there may be some small delays with Interlibrary Loan requests and research requests to Worldwide Reference until everything is in place.

Two of the Worldwide Document Delivery scanning stations are up and running, and our student assistants are busy scanning already.

The Reference Department now has a door, but it's not attached to anything.

The Electronic Services Librarian has one computer hooked up, and is searching for a temporary table for the other two test computers.

The Interlibrary Loan Department's belongings are still in bins.

The photocopy paper has been moved, but the photocopier hasn't.

New Table Arrangement

The tables in the main study area on the first floor of the library have been rearranged. They were in a 'cafeteria-style' format before, and now they are in a more open arrangement that allows different types of groupings.

Moving Along

The library staff have been busy rearranging the study carrels other furniture around the new study rooms to provide more places to sit (or lie down) and study.

The new staff conference room is almost complete except for some lighting issues, and the new offices for Electronic Library Services and Interlibrary Loan now have doors and they are getting painted today.

The Reference Department Has Moved

The Reference Department is now officially working out of its new office space, and construction continues on the new Electronic Library Services and Interlibrary Loan department spaces.

Not only do we have a door, but we also have a sign.

A new door is going in across from the Library Instruction Room.

Walls Up in the ELS/ILL Offices

The walls for the new Interlibrary Loan and Electronic Library Services departments have been framed out and the drywall has been put up!

The Staff Move Has Begun

Phase One of the staff move has commenced. The Reference Department staff are moving to the offices that were the old study rooms so that they will all be working in the same part of the building. A new door to separate the staff area from the public area has been installed...

... and the Reference Librarians are doing their best to work in their new offices with temporary furniture and everything in crates until the permanent furniture is installed in a few weeks.

The old Reference Suite is now being converted into offices for the Electronic Library Services and Interlibrary Loan Departments. Once that office is completed, these departments will move from the northwest corner of the building and Alumni Services will take over that space.

The old staff meeting room had to be converted into workspace for the Worldwide Document Delivery department, so a storage room is being cleaned out and repainted to be our new meeting room.
