New Compact Shelving on Cravens 5th Floor

Compact Shelving on Cravens 5th Floor

Installation of a new compact shelving unit on Cravens fifth floor has been completed.  The unit is manually operated using hand cranks, and provides space for an additional 3000 volumes on that floor.  The unit was funded through a Classroom Improvement Grant from the Provost’s office.  The additional shelf space will help alleviate overcrowding on that floor.  Allison Sircy and Jessica Simpson (pictured) oversaw the shelving of volumes on the new unit and will work with student assistants and staff this summer shifting volumes throughout the fifth floor.
