Does your group have something to share?  Do you have a milestone to celebrate?  A topic you’d like to raise awareness about?

 

The Ames Library Exhibit Team would like to invite any group on campus to contact us about utilizing display space in the library.  Throughout the library, there are several exhibit spaces available to promote student work, class projects, guest speakers, organizations, events, achievements or any topic of interest you’d like to share with the campus community. If your group is interested in scheduling a display, please contact Meg Miner at x1538.

Changes on the Entry Level of Ames

Posted on September 3, 2008 by | Leave a comment

Returning students and faculty will notice a big change in the Reference area on the entry level of Ames Library.  Over the summer, librarians selected print reference titles that are available on-line, and moved these volumes to our stacks.  With the reduced print collection, we were able to open up the north windows on to the plaza.  Comfy chairs and desks were moved in. The change is very welcome!  Still to come: the reference desk will pivot 180 degrees, opening up the space even more.

Thanks to librarians, staff and Physical Plant for working over the summer to make our building more welcoming!
