The Quiet Study Floor/5th Floor of the Resource Center (RCB) will be the site of a project that will take a couple of years to complete. IT will be relocating a data center from the 7th Floor of the RCB to the 5th Floor.
This is the affected area of the floor:
Upon completion, a portion of the floor will be cordoned off for the equipment, but we will add new seating and study areas:
Before any construction can start, the Library’s print journal collection on the 5th Floor will be undergoing major changes to make room for this new data center. It will entail the relocation and removal of over 30,000 print journal volumes and thousands of unbound issues, the loss of 28 rows of shelves, and requires shifting the entirety of the remainder of the print collection. The content of the print volumes and issues to be removed are covered by perpetual access archives purchases and freely-available archival content. In total, over 600 journal titles will be affected.
From now until December, there will be noise during the weekdays as Library staff work to shift the print journal collection and stage the volumes to be removed. There will also be many signs and notes spread throughout the stacks, so please do not remove these notes. Also, locating needed print journals may be a little more difficult during this time.
We apologize for the noise and disruption this will cause. As this is affecting the dedicated quiet study area, please be mindful if others have relocated to a different area to find some quiet.
If you have any questions about this or need assistance locating materials, please contact us.
If you are using a wired workstation in the Allied Health building, we’ve had to make a change that now requires you to log in when accessing Library resources. We had reports of issues when users were trying to get to ebooks, articles, and databases, and this is the way to resolve those problems.
When you click one of the Library’s links to resources, click this link:
When you click this link, you will most likely not be asked to re-enter your credentials, as those should be pulled from when you logged into your workstation.
This change ensures that your rights to access our subscribed content is passed along to the book, journal, and database websites.
Another tool that will help you more easily access resources is the LibKey Nomad browser extension. We have a LibKey Nomad LibGuide that shows you how to set up and use this tool that makes getting to journal articles very easy.
If you need assistance with this or any other Library resources, contact us.
