5th Floor Project Diary: And so it begins…

The project to remove over 30,000 bound volumes and shift the entire print journal collection to make room for an IT data center is well underway. If you find yourself on that floor, it is reminiscent of a sticky note factory:

Journals waiting to be removed.

Journals that will be removed from the collection are also starting to populate the staging areas on the Prieur side of the floor:

As we make our way through the entire collection, removing and shifting journals, there will be an increase of noise on the usual quiet study floor.

Please see our previous post about this project, but don’t hesitate to contact us if you have any questions.
