Photocopier to be removed / printing no longer offered at public workstations

Today the library photocopier will be removed.  Most math folks check out materials and copy in the department office, so this will not be noticed very much.  Other library users will need to check materials out and take them to another library or photocopier location.

Since printing was offered through the photocopier, this is also no longer available.  Users can download materials or email them.  If you need to print, you should use workstations at other locations.

Changes coming for math library services

The mathematics library will be closing this summer.  Most of the paper collection will move to Olin Library. While no one is happy about this, I hope you will find that the collection continues to be accessible, although certainly a bit less convenient, and services that you need continue to be available.  Ruth Lewis will still be the math librarian; phone or email continues to be the best way to find me.  I plan to keep you updated on changes using this blog.  Please do contact me with your library questions, concerns and suggestions!
