Microform shifting

We are now re-organizing all of the Humanities and Social Sciences microforms so that they are shelved by call number instead of by title or main entry. We are also taking this time to arrange them into one set.

The project will go on over the next couple of months and during this time patrons may need assistance finding material as some of it will be organized by call number and some of it will still be organized by title or main entry. Patrons requesting assistance should still be sent to Government Information, but evenings and weekends the information desk will be able to help.

All of the films from the 1st row have been temporarily moved to row 18 (the sorting shelves for the CJK collection) and these are still arranged by title -the shelf marker has also been moved.

Microfilms now in the first row will be arranged in call number order. The full first row will actually be taken up by Early English books.

Signs will be changed as we go along.

Laptops

Lending and Access Services Staff:

As you know there have been delays and we are not quite ready to begin lending out laptops from the HSSL Loans Desk. The exact date when the service will be launched is unclear, although it should be sometime soon.

In the meantime, for students that come to the desk asking to borrow laptops , please direct them to either the Schulich Library or to the Marvin Duchow Music Library. Actually students can call over to either branch in advance of walking over to make sure that there are laptops available. The numbers to call:

Music:
Tel: 514-398-4695

Schulich:
Tel: 514-398-4769

If for some reason borrowing a laptop from one of these branches is not possible, please put the student in contact with me and I should be able to arrange the lending of a HSSL laptop.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thank you,
Jared
