Science Library 3rd floor undergoing renovations

Submitted by amywatts on

During the course of the summer, the Libraries will update and renovate portions of the third floor to expand space available for student learning. As a part of this project, a portion of the pre-2000 journals on the third floor (predominantly those available via the Libraries’ electronic collection) will be relocated to the Library Shelving Repository. The project will temporarily affect many of the monographs (books) on the 3rd floor, as well. During the course of the project, we will continue to provide access to faculty and students to all of the affected items via a paging service by library staff.

Faculty: You may request delivery directly to your office for items affected by this project. The office delivery request form is available at:http://www.libs.uga.edu/access_services/onlineforms/facdel_form.html
