Early last week, authorization was granted to move ceased titles of Reference indexes and abstracting sources to the three 202 study rooms—202H, 202I and 202J. The following morning, that move was set in motion. It is now complete.
Listed below are those indexes and abstracting sources that ceased publication, or subscriptions were cancelled. Many of these print titles have been replaced by databases that now provide online access. No dictionaries, encyclopedias or handbooks were included in this particular move.
The list is arranged by call numbers as they appear within the rooms in a continuous format, beginning in Room 202J and ending in Room 202H. This is consistent with the sequence of the BIBLIO arrangement on the periphery in the outer large 202 reading room. The list includes the last year of each publication, the amount of its shelf space and the new location in Bold, e.g., Room 202J. Because each title now has a new location, MERLIN Catalog records will be changed, and new location labels will be applied to the physical volumes.

Regarding the main Reference collection, that shift to the new footprint was completed March 5. Various individuals are to be commended for their outstanding work in the completion of this major part of the overall project:
Nicki Everett and Brent Willman – for the necessary prep work in shifting
Pat Jones and Julie Rogers – for securing areas for construction, especially Room 202
Al Messner – for providing the necessary components for shelf installation
MRI crew – for installation of shelves, anchoring shelf ranges, and the major part of the book shifting, including 202 study rooms
Cindy Cotner and Michaelle Dorsey – for producing labels
Felicity Dykas and her crew – for MERLIN Catalog changes
The new Reference area is the former location of Documents Lite. Because the Reference shift is now complete, the collection in the new footprint is now open to the public. Reshelving has also moved, now on the last south shelving range.
Disassembly of the shelf ranges in the old footprint has begun in order to provide open space for new carpet to be placed. This area is closed to the public.

In Documents, almost all of the print materials, microfiche cabinets and map cases have been moved, but some bulk items need to be positioned. Many of the tables in front of the Documents office have been placed there temporarily, some of which will probably be relocated to the new carpeted area. As usual, aesthetics and function will be the guidelines for table selection and arrangement.
