Reference Collection Shifting

With the move of reference material back to the main floor we are still be left with reference material on the floor below.
In order to make finding this material easier and to assist with reshelving we have created two new location codes for Gerstein.

- Lower Reference I which will refer to material in B110 and will appear as LOWER_REF1 where truncation is required in SIRSI
- Lower Reference II. which will refer to material in B112 and will appear as LOWER_REF2 where truncation of the name is required.

It will take quite some time until all the material has it new location applied as it must be done on a title by title basis. I will put out another message when the task has been completed.

Palomar Observatory Sky Survey

All staff, As a result of the closure of the Dunlap Observatory Library Gerstein is acquiring some additional astronomy material.
One particularly valuable collection, the Palomar Observatory Sky Survey, will arrive in the next few weeks. Please see link below for more info. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Geographic_Society_-_Palomar_Observatory_Sky_Survey
The glass plate collection and instruments for reading the plates will be placed in a locked room (B126) off the Heritage Wing hall where Dan, Carla & Rea used to have their offices.
Bonnie will arrange for a catalogue entry to be made so staff and patrons can locate them. Thanks.
