Open Stack journals move to off-campus storage

11 January, 2008

Major repairs to the roof of the Flowers Room in the Auchmuty Library require us to move the current serials out of the Flowers Room early in 2008. To make sure you have access to the most current information published, we’re making room for the current serials in the Open Stack area and moving Open Stack collection off-campus.

The journals from Open Stack will be relocated to a storage facility at Thornton.

Open Stack will be closed from Monday 14th January.

Articles from journals with the location Thornton can be requested via the intercampus request form. Items will be delivered electronically to your University email address.

For more information, please enquire at any of the University Library Information Desks, or contact your Faculty Librarian.
