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.
