"Documents Service Desk Enjoys New Location"


If you are not a regular documents or microforms customer, 
you are probably not aware of recent changes in the 
arrangement of the entire Documents Department's reference 
area.  With the shift of our stack collection to the old and new 
bookstack towers, a small space opened up allowing 
rearrangement of the documents reference collection.

The current plan, designed by documents librarian Jack 
McGeachy, provides the table space necessary to use 
documents reference materials such as patents, statutes, U.S. 
Code, Code of Federal Regulations, and the U.S. Census volumes.  
Often, multiple volumes must be used together, which makes 
this arrangement very beneficial.

One new feature is a book return that allows users to return 
materials directly to the department even after service hours.  
The new desk location is more visible to users and more 
conveniently located for assistance with the numerous 
databases on CD-ROM workstations nearby.  Comments from 
users regarding these changes have been positive.
