Library News

The location for ZSR Library’s current periodicals has changed. They are now housed in the Reference Department on the 4th floor of the Wilson Wing. In addition to their new home, the periodicals are now shelved in LC (Library of Congress) call number order. This ensures that patrons will be able to find similar subject areas in close proximity.

The construction season will begin in ZSR on May 9th with the emptying of the front two “24 hour” study rooms, and the simultaneous removal of the shelving from the Periodicals Room.

Once the Periodicals Room is emptied, the furniture from the 24 hour rooms, (except for the huge study carrels, which will be disposed of) is going to be moved up to the Periodicals Room to be redeployed through out the library over the next few weeks. The couches from the Rhoda’s side will end up in the new Mandelbaum Reading Room.

The coke and snack machines are being relocated to the hallway outside of room 204. The lockers will be in the Reynolds 2 hallway by the study rooms.

Beginning on Monday, May 12, the usual entrance to the library will be closed. The new entrance will be through the door closest to the parking lot in the Atrium, west side. Signage will be posted beginning Friday, May 9. The exit desk and the gate will be moved on May 12.
