New study area – “The LRC Commons”

Most of the microforms cabinets that stood for many years just west of the circulation desk on the main level of the library have been moved to the lower level, leaving only the CIS congressional materials, California resources, and selected legal journals in the Information Services area. In place of these cabinets, nine study tables seating four patrons at each one, are now in use in the vacated area, much to the delight of the students, many of whom have quickly settled on this area as their new preferred study site. Ear plugs in place, silenced cell phones propped up before them, and laptops blinking away, these students are happy to research and study in this brightly lit area that is within easy access of the reference librarians, the rest rooms, and a quick break outside.

Researchers seeking microforms that have been relocated will find that the new location, LRC Lower Level Microforms, has already been assigned to these materials in the SALLY catalog records. LRC reference librarians are available to those patrons needing further assistance in locating these items.
