What's Happening At the Library?

There is a lot going on this semester at Smiley Library!  As you may already know, we are in the midst of preparations for the renovation into an Information Commons. Preliminary construction on the second floor is scheduled to begin during Thanksgiving break and will continue throughout the holiday break. All materials on this floor will be relocated to the 1^st and 3^rd floors, and with no restricted access to materials. The student computers will be moved into the old campus computing offices, periodicals and Reference to the 3^rd floor, and the circulating collection to the 1^st floor. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, but we are doing our best to ensure access to materials is still available. Below is the preliminary design of the 2^nd floor, which includes a computer center, increased soft seating, group study rooms, and an electronic collaborative classroom. All designs are based on feedback from the library survey conducted last spring. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns. Thanks to the football and baseball teams and coaches for their help moving furniture!
