UPDATE: O’Shaughnessy-Frey to Rearrange its Books and Periodicals Collections
While it is commonly thought that academic libraries hibernate in the summer months, this is quite the misnomer for the O’Shaughnessy-Frey Library these last few months.
As some of you may have noticed we are in the middle of a massive book and periodical rearrangement in the building. Our goal with the project: move ALL bound journals to the Sub Level of the library and start the book collection on the Lower Level, extending up to Level 4.
As the Fall semester begins in less than two weeks the following book call number ranges will be on these new floors:
Level 4: PQ – Z
Level 3: HX – PN
Level 2: will eventually hold E – HV, but this will be an ongoing shift throughout the fall semester
Lower Level: will eventually hold A – D, but this will be an ongoing shift throughout the fall semester
Note that Periodicals with titles that begin S – Z have been shifted from Level 4 to Sub Level.
If you have questions or comments about this project, please let us know.
See the Library’s March 12th, 2014 blog post for more details on the project
Summer is wrapping up. Did you spend time on-campus working towards a graduate education degree and are lamenting that you’ll be far away from campus and easy access to resources for your studies?
If you’re outside of the seven-county metro area, you’re in luck! UST Libraries offers distant students the following services:
- Electronically scanning and delivering book chapters and articles from periodicals. Make a request through ILLiad.
- Discussing research topics, little and large, via online chat or over the phone, 651-962-5001.
- Mailing books from our circulating collections free of charge. Check out the “Interlibrary Loan for Distance Students and Faculty” section here.
- Plus mailing books other libraries lend to us for us. This includes CLIC collections in addition to our local region and beyond!
- And, of course, accessing our ever growing collection of e-books, full-text articles, and online reference works is as easy as logging into your email through the proxy server.
If you are finished with all of your course work and working on your final project or thesis, be sure you are considered active and “on the books” so your access to these resources isn’t cut off! Each academic department handles this a little differently, so contact your registrar for details.
Best wishes on teaching this fall and on your own studies!
