Libraries Personnel Relocate to Prepare for Renovation
As the University Libraries gear up for Phase II of the Mullins renovation project, some personnel are relocating. Campus users can expect to see people and furnishings moving out of Mullins Library and into Gladson-Ripley Hall this week.
Levels 1 and 2 of Mullins Library will undergo renovation from January 2022 through Summer 2024. Public-facing librarians have already relocated to Levels 3 and 4 of Mullins Library. Personnel responsible for collections purchasing, processing and digitization work, including Content Services and Digital Services, will move to Gladson-Ripley Hall this week and remain there for the duration of the construction. An updates webpage has been created to help users keep track of where they can find both people and collections. As people move, the Libraries' Personnel Directory will also be updated.
As always, personnel are happy to answer questions in person or via chat, text, call or email. All contact information and FAQs can be found on the Ask Us! webpage.
