Starting January 5th and continuing for the foreseeable future.
Periodicals loaned out through ILL and those used within the Main Library will be counted separately
ILL will place all of its print (bound and current) and microform periodicals on a purple cart located in the Reserve Area.
Circulation staff will continue to place periodicals – either returned to Circ desk or found in their “sweeps” through the building – on the Circ returns area shelves.
Periodicals found during building “sweeps” can also be left on the wooden cart near the start of the Current Periodicals section.
Serials Dept staff will collect and count these stashes as well as stashes of microforms from atop the microform cabinets.
Once counted, the volumes will be placed on the marked shelves at the rear of the Lower Level stacks (in the PQ-PR domain) – this will include Bound Periodicals and microforms. Serials staff will shelve the counted Current Periodicals. Stacks staff will shelve the counted Bound Periodicals and microforms.
Users will be asked to help by placing issues and volumes on the marked shelves and carts in the periodicals area after using.
If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask Arabella.
