Engineering & Architecture Library – 200 Pangborn – On the move! http://www.lib.cua.edu/wordpress/newsevents/4024/ http://www.lib.cua.edu/wordpress/newsevents/4024/#comments Tue, 02 Jul 2013 21:45:28 +0000 http://www.lib.cua.edu/wordpress/newsevents/?p=4024 EA_boxes_July13

Update 7.1.2013

You may have noticed the boxes!

The Engineering & Architecture Library at 200 Pangborn will be closing later this this summer. The library collections are currently on the move!

Most Engineering print material is being relocated to Mullen Library. We are boxing, moving and re-shelving the collection at Mullen Library in small sections on a daily basis. We anticipate this move to finish by the end of July.

Note: Engineering serials are available electronically; or through CLS request from WRLC.  Some current Engineering print serials are shelved at Mullen Library in 1 Center (see Mullen Stacks Map.)

As these materials are in transit, please let us know if you need library resources. We will track them down for you, as you request. Please email Engineering Subject Librarian – Kim Hoffman [ hoffman@cua.edu ]

The Architecture & Planning collections will be moved to a new branch library in the Crough building during August. Stay tuned for news on this move!

Kimberly Hoffman awarded 2012 Belanger Award http://www.lib.cua.edu/wordpress/newsevents/3703/ http://www.lib.cua.edu/wordpress/newsevents/3703/#comments Tue, 08 Jan 2013 14:50:46 +0000 http://www.lib.cua.edu/wordpress/newsevents/?p=3703 Kimberly Hoffman, Coordinator of Science Libraries, has been selected as the recipient of the Edward J. Belanger Jr. Staff Award for Excellence in Service for 2012.

Ed Belanger worked for the Libraries for over 40 years before retiring in 2002 as our business manager. His service and dedication to his fellow staff was extraordinary; and he is one of the most positive, up-beat, and good natured people you will ever meet. After his retirement, his children made a donation to the Libraries for the creation of an award in his honor.

Each year the Libraries select a staff member of the year who not only contributes outstanding service to the library but also shares Ed’s good nature. Our recent practice has been for the past honorees to serve as the award committee, selecting from among nominations submitted by library staff.

Excerpted from one of her many nominations:

“…her impact on the libraries and University as a whole is immense. She brings enthusiasm and expertise to her work that has a profound impact on our patrons. Her passion comes through in her dedication to re-creating the science libraries as an information hub that is incredibly useful to students. Kim is a joy to work with and I always look forward to meeting with her about projects and initiatives.”
