Physical Sciences Reading Room to close
09-Dec-2009
As part of a campus planning initiative to make more effective use of limited university
resources, including space on central campus, the ISU Library will close the Physical
Sciences Reading Room (PSRR) at the end of fall semester. The PSRR is located in 208
Office and Laboratory (O&L) Building. The unit's last day of operation will be Friday,
December 18, 2009. After that date, PSRR collections will be integrated with the collections
of Parks Library, and all associated services will be provided by Parks Library staff.
The most heavily-used PSRR collections, including currently received journals and popular
journal backfiles, will be integrated as quickly as possible into corresponding collections in
the Parks Library. Less heavily used items will need to be stored indefinitely in a closed
stack until space can be made available in the Parks Library. At all times, the Library's
online catalog will accurately reflect a title's current location/availability. Items in temporary
storage will be retrieved by library staff.
Heather Lewin (hslewin@iastate.edu 294-1004) and Steve McMinn
(hsmcminn@iastate.edu, 294-4789), from the Library's Science &Technology Department,
will continue to serve as the subject librarians for chemistry (Lewin), physics, and Materials
Science &Engineering (McMinn). Questions or comments regarding collections in these
areas, as well as requests for consultation or instructional services, should continue to be
directed to these two subject librarians. Questions of a more general nature regarding library
public services or the closing of PSRR can be directed to David Gregory, Associate Dean for
Research &Access (dgregory@iastate.edu 294-0447).
