Biology Library closure, part 2

Hello, everyone,

Here is the latest "New Service Model" proposal from the University
Library
. As you'll see in the proposal, they still plan on closing the
Biology Library, merging it with the agriculture library. According to the
proposal as written, the Biology Library would close May 2010, although
our books and journals might not be moved to ACES until as late as
December 2010. The timing and details of the proposal are subject to
change, but the major actions are probably going to take place.

There will be another open session for comments held Friday, April 24th,
from 10:00 - 11:00 am in Room 66 in the basement of the Main Library.
Please plan on attending if you possibly can, and if not send your
comments by then to Paula Kaufman, ptk@illinois.edu, and Scott Walter,
swalter@illinois.edu.

Diane Schmidt
Biology Librarian
