This change, prompted by the increasing need for space at the lab, will give the library a smaller physical presence and accelerate the shift to a more electronic and interactive library. From now until May 25, staff and users should mark important books that should be kept by the library. For more information about the marking procedure, contact Sandra D’Souza, x7524.
