Current Journals Moved

As the Libraries have moved from print journals to electronic ones, the current journal shelves have been used less and less. So today they’ve been removed. Current print issues will be shelved with the full journal runs on the 5th floor of the Isché Library.

The Library continues to re-organize the 3rd floor to offer an optimum study environment.
