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!
