Reference Changes
This summer the Irwin Library Reference Collection was changed.
- Some
older materials were pulled from Reference and moved to the circulating
collection or the Annex (in the basement). - Books were shifted around
and one book stack was eliminated completely. - The Career Reference
collection was moved to the end of the Reference materials (after the
Z’s).
This
is to help meet our Reference Goals of keeping a lean, current, usable
Reference Collection, where all the materials are the best in their
subject area. Rather than trying to collect everything on every topic,
like larger libraries might, we are trying to provide the best of the
best. That way you don’t have to determine for yourself which of a
dozen resources is the best to use. We’ve done that for you.That will
mean, however, that books will not be in the same place you used to
find them. They have all shifted around a little.If you have any
questions, please stop by the Reference Desk or contact us at Ask A Librarian.
