Maps, Media, Microforms &Reserve have merged
19-Aug-2008
Over the summer, two previously separate collections in the Parks Library--Maps and
Microforms--were merged with the existing Reserve &Media collections to form a unified
"Media Center" with a single service desk. The Media Center is housed on the lower level of
Parks Library, in space formerly occupied by Reserve &Media Services. Commencing
August 25, 2008, the new Media Center offers expanded hours and improved public access
to maps, microforms, audio-visual media (CDs, DVDs, VHS tapes, etc.) and "hard-copy"
course reserve material (books and other physical formats).
The vast majority of course reserve material is available online, via the e-Library. The small
"hard copy" reserve collection maintained in the Media Center represents items (such as
entire books, DVDs, etc.) that cannot be digitized. Please also note that the staff who
process Course Reserve lists are no longer housed in the Media Center. Instead, they are
now part of the Instruction Department, with offices in the area formerly occupied by the
Microforms Center (Floor 1, Room 140). Please see the related announcement, New home
Library 160 &Reserve Processing.
The most efficient way for instructors to submit a new or revised Reserve List is to use the
online submission form available in the e-Library. Printed submission forms and/or physical
items to be placed on reserve can also be dropped off either in the Instruction Department
(Monday-Friday, 8:00-5:00) or the Media Center (more expanded hours). However, if you
wish to consult with Reserve Processing staff, please do so by email
(ereserve@iastate.edu), by phone (515-294-4958),or by visiting their offices in the
Instruction Department (Floor 1, Room 140).
Questions or comments about the overall merger of these services points or related issues
can be directed to David Gregory, Associate Dean for Research &Access, 515-294-0447,
dgregory@iastate.edu.
