New Improvements to Come at Purdy/Kresge Library

Monday, January 22nd, 2007

During 2007, the Purdy/Kresge Library will undergo a series of updates, enhancements and changes to improve the learning and research environment for our patrons. These improvements include replacing the first floor carpeting, consolidating all journal titles in one location for easier access to the entire collection, shifting lesser used materials to storage, and reconfiguring shelving and furniture. Our goals in this project are to improve the access to journals and other collections, provide for a more comfortable library atmosphere and increase the amount of available study space for our users. During this improvement process, we are committed to maintaining quality and attentive service for all library patrons.

Beginning January 22, 2007, pre-1990 journals will be moved from Purdy/Kresge to Storage. The entire move will take several months. During and after this move, the journals will continue to be accessible upon request. There are three ways to request pre-1990 journals that have moved to Storage:

1. Use the Online Catalog to look up the journal title. When the record comes up, click the Request from Storage link at the right side of the record display. Alternately, click the Storage Request link at the bottom of ANY catalog record on the screen to access the request form.
2. One may also bookmark a blank Storage Request Form for immediate use without accessing the library catalog.
3. Patrons may also request materials at any library service desk.

Requested journals will be delivered several times a day on a regular schedule: Mon-Fri, 9:30 am, 11:30 am, 1:30 pm, 3:30 pm and 5:00 pm. More information regarding Storage delivery may be found on the Materials Storage F.A.Q.

Users with ongoing research requiring the use of large runs of specific titles should contact Cindy Krolikowski to make arrangements for continuing access.

Thank you for your patience and we look forward to providing you with the materials and information you need for your research and studies. If you have any questions about the project, please contact the project coordinator, Mike Hawthorne.
