News from the Stacks!

We've recently made some exciting changes here in Blackwell!

On the first floor, the Research/Instructional Services librarians worked very hard this summer to pare down our Reference Collection to the best and most useful titles. In doing so, we were able to take out two rows of shelving and add more seating space for students!

On the second floor, you may notice books have been moved up in the stacks. (What are "stacks," you ask? That's librarian jargon for the books you can check out!) We've been busy with a yearlong shifting project to move our collection. We started in the Z's and have worked our way up to the D's! New labels on the ends of rows tell you where things are at. Special thanks to all of the students who have gotten a workout moving books and also to the youth group from Allen Memorial Church who also volunteered their time and muscles to the effort!
