The library will be putting on its hard hat this summer as the renovation of Jones Hall continues.
4th floor closes to the public
The 4th floor will become a construction zone as we recarpet the floor, realign the book stacks, and cut a new stairwell. As a result, the floor will be closed to public access beginning Thursday, June 3rd. The books, journals, and microfiche are still onsite—just ask at the front desk and the item will be paged for you.
Computer lab moves to 3rd floor
The computer lab moves to the former faculty library for the summer, effective Wednesday, June 2nd. We squeezed in some desktops, the help desk, and a printer and are open for business. You can still send your print jobs to the printer next to the front desk and to George’s Café, in addition to the lab.
The Westlaw and Lexis printers will remain on the 4th floor. Print jobs will be retrieved by staff and be available for pick up in the 3rd floor location. If you need a printout, just ask at the help desk.
The 3rd floor will also see some heavy construction as elevator doors are cut to provide access to our new space.
The study carrels and tables will remain in place to supplement the study space in the 2nd floor reading room.
Changes to 2nd floor
Putting in a stairwell is a messy process. We moved some public access desktops and catalog stations near the reference desk and removed two terminal kiosks in preparation for the heavy work.
Additional work will be done in the lobby area in front of the circulation desk as elevators are reconfigured for access to the 5th and 6th floors and the entrance to the existing public stairwell moved outside the library.
Despite the construction activity, we will continue to provide an environment where you can study and research during the summer. Don’t hesitate to let us know if you have suggestions for improving your library experience.
