The Media Commons now has a full listing of the newspapers and periodicals held by the Media Commons. Many of the titles listed are not listed in the online catalogue. The guide includes titles, publication locations, dates of holdings, call numbers and reel numbers and rough subjects. The guide is very large, but is broken down according to country and city. For Canada, it is further broken down by province and then city. The following link will bring you to the introduction page:
http://mediacommons.library.utoronto.ca/research/microform/finding-microform-materials
The list is complete to today's date. As we receive more material, we will update the list. Please note there is a separate guide on the same page for the science journals and to the Irish newspapers.
Enjoy,
Joan Links

Robarts Renovation Update and 2009 Planning
The front page article in the lastest issue of the /University of Toronto Libraries Newsletter /described the renovation and construction work that is already underway as part of the overall Robarts renewal plan. If you haven't seen this article, it can be found at: http://content.library.utoronto.ca/general-information/news/utl-news/fall2008.pdf
By way of update regarding the two test projects, the north apex on the 9th floor is now scheduled for completion in early February. The construction boarding has come down and the area has been secured with fencing to allow for carpeting and finishing work.
Construction on the 5th floor will begin in February and is expected to continue into the early summer. Although the government publications and maps collections on the 5th floor will be accessible during the construction period, all staff currently working on the fifth floor will be relocated. Sherry Smugler and Vicky Escandor will move to the 6th floor in mid-January. The government publications processing function will have a permanent home on the 6th floor. The GIS Maps and Data staff, which includes Marcel Fortin, Laine Ruus, Susan Jewel, Gerald Romme and Bernie Disonglo, will move to space on the 1st floor in February. They will remain there for the duration of the construction and then move back to the 5th floor. Public service assistance for Data Maps and GIS will be delivered from the 1st floor location and will involve some travelling back and forth between the 1st and 5th floor. Signage and webpages will be updated to note this when the move takes place.
In preparation for construction, the 5th floor government publications collection has been reduced in size and redistributed. The map cabinets will remain on the 5th floor but will be shifted.
The planning and initial design process for the rest of the Robarts renewal and renovation will take place during the first six months of 2009. The process will include input and consultation with representatives of the staff groups residing in areas designated for renewal. General meetings will also be scheduled to update all interested staff on the overall planning process. The initial planning process will result in a costing exercise which will determine the overall extent of construction and scheduling timelines for specific areas. If all goes as planned, construction will begin in the late spring and continue on an area-by-area basis over a three year period. The continuous operation of the library throughout the construction is a given and will inform all scheduling considerations.
Further updates will be issued in the new year. The new main library webpage will also feature a link to renovation news.
