August 6: current unbound journals move to Olin Library Level 1 Periodical area
August 7, 5 pm: Math Library closes permanently
August 12-14: books and journals are moved to Olin Library (Level B and staging areas on Level 1)
August 10-17: throughout this period, Ruth Lewis will move to Olin Library room 139. Her phone number 935-4819 and email address rlewis@wustl.edu will remain the same
August 17-25: math materials are available in Olin Library but there may be a transition period as interfiling with the Olin Library collection happens; in addition to interfiling book call numbers, journal volumes will need to be interfiled by call number since they were filed alphabetically in math now
Tips for dealing with the transition:
- Try not to plan work with paper math library books and journals August 10-14; contact Ruth Lewis is you do need something during that period!
- Get your fall 2009 reserve lists in as early as possible; in addition to a little inevitable confusion in the stacks, we will have a new Reserves system for everyone this fall.
- Check the online catalog and remember to jot down the call number (even if it's a journal) and level (A,B, 1, 2 or 3) before you come over to Olin Library
- Keep Ruth informed about your library needs; I can't work on solutions if I don't know about problems. I hope to have some visitors over in Olin Library! Sometimes face-to-face conversation is more efficient or more fun. Just ask at the front Help desk and folks there will be happy to help you find me the first time. I'll be in Olin room 139.
Note: We currently plan to leave the math textbook collection and math dissertations in the math library space for use within the math department.
