Show TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER SUSC THE THUNDERBIRD Thunderbird relocates PAGE 25 25, 1990 ROLAND'S BY DEBRA COOPER Among significant changes made within the campus this summer were two moves which affected the Library. Relocation of The Thunderbird newspaper, campus publications, and photo services from the Library and moves within the Library took place in June. Because of the scheduled renovation of the Science Center, Library acquisitions located on the main floor of that building were relocated to the basement in order to create room for the computers from the Science Center. This move supplanted the publications offices, which moved into new space created in the basement of the Industrial Education Building. However the changes, although beneficial, may not have been necessary after all when it was decided in September that the computers would not have to be moved. Vice President for College Relations Michael D. Richards said, Our architects saw this was unnecessary for now. The computer center is in tight quarters for now but it is a major move and must be carefully planned. Our computers are used for college business and registration purposes. Continuity is a major factor in relocating the system. He said, Tenants from the Library were relocated for additional institutional area. We think it will make sense in the long run. Both the Library and publications directors feel there have been advantages to the changes. The Thunderbird, publications and photo services are now housed in the southwest corner of the I.E. Buildings basement. Until that time the space had been utilized for storage. Larry Baker, publications director and newspaper adviser, said, The advantage is weve increased our square footage d and were now housed in a central area. by All campus typesetting services, including those performed by Julia Shochat for the Instructional Media Center, can now be found in the I.E. Building while printing operations are still located in the IMC of the Library. Since the moves, the Librarys situation has improved, said Library Director Diana T. Graff. The availability of space, which the absence of the publications offices and the computers from the Science Building supplied, gives the Library the opportunity to make some additional changes. Some of the modifications will include the building of a small-grou- p study area in a location that was to house the computers from the Science Center. The Library only has one at present. There will be a new Reference Desk stationed in front of the entry way which will provide students with assistance in usage of Library facilities. The center has automated the card catalog system, which means there is new space on the main floor. There patrons can find the new computer index for The New York Times, The Readers Guide Abstracts, and gain access to the new Utah Union Computer Catalog. It provides listings of all the books available at other universities and colleges in Utah. All the indexes are contained in the same area for the first time and the microfiche and microfilm are no longer on three different floors. Last year Media Software Collections were in the basement with publications offices, but are now on the same floor as the IMC. With the absence of typesetting facilities in the IMC area, a center for copving and typing will take its place. The catalog room, said Graff, will return upstairs to its original location. 510 So.
