“The main difference in this move
and the others is the time base,”
said Beard. “That’s why we ll be
working nights and weekends.”
While the move officially begins
on March 12, Evelyn King, assistant
director of collection interpretation
and other library employees say that
is the date of the start of the final
phase of a task that began last
March.
During the last year, layouts for

have been tagged with masking tape
to indicate their exact placement in
the library addition.
All materials will be moved on
bookmovers, which are four-wheel
dollies with shelves. None of the
materials will be taken outside as
they will be wheeled into the library
through double access doors on each
of the floors. Beard said that no
heavy equipment will be used since
this is completely an inside job.
And even while all of this activity
is taking place in the University’s
most expensive, if not biggest,
move, the library will continue to
provide for library users.
“We want to emphasize that the
library will not be closed,” King
said. “We will move the circulation
department one night and have it
ready for the following day.”
King said librarians will get books
or materials for anyone who needs
them if they bring the call number
to the circulation desk on the first
floor of the library addition.
Other services will also be
provided on the first floor of the li
brary addition with library staff
members on hand to assist anyone
who needs to use these services.
The Automated Information Re
trieval Service, microtext and maps
will have service areas on the first
floor during the move along the
Interlibrary Services and the Copy
Center.
The reserve, reference and
documents collections will be in
temporary quarters on the first floor
and collections that are to be located
on the second floor such as current
periodicals will be made available as
early as possible during the move.
After the move, remodeling will
begin on the interior of the present
facilities. Students and faculty will
not be permitted in this area from
the time the move begins until con
struction is completed.
During the six months it will take
to complete this remodeling, work
men will construct additional study
carrels and install wall-to-wall car
peting.
When remodeling on the present
building is completed, the tempo
rary walls betyween it and the li
brary addition will be removed and
the building will function as one in
tegral unit with access at the east
entrance.
Bob Hope says,
“Help keep

ready.”
