UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS Kenneth Spencer Research Library To Close f or Remodeling



>
> The Kenneth Spencer Research Library, will be closed for six weekdays,
> beginning Friday, July 20, and ending on July 27, 2001 (re-opening on
> Monday, July 30), to complete the last phases of moving furniture,
> equipment and collections necessary to the Library's re-organization for
> delivery of services.  The Library is normally closed on weekends during
> the summer term.
>
> The re-organization (which is described in the KU Libraries newsletter,
> Currents, in the April 2001 issue) will provide for one, consolidated
> point of service for users of the collections and services of the Kansas
> Collection, the Department of Special Collections, and the University
> Archives.  A new Reader Services Department, located on the third floor of
> the Library, will oversee reception and reference services and an
> expanded, combined reading room.  Staff from throughout the Spencer
> Library will work together to provide reference service and instruction.
>
> Work has been underway for several months to prepare for this change, the
> last stages of which require the breaching of some walls on the third
> floor and the shifting of segments of the collections throughout several
> areas of the building.
>
> During the closing, the University Libraries will post to its Web site
> <http://www.lib.ku.edu> regular updates on progress and will ensure that
> voice mail at the three public phone numbers (785/864-4274;  -4334; and
> -4188) are updated and messages relayed to staff.  The staff also will
> monitor e-mail on a regular basis.
>
> A full description of the changes at the Spencer Library will appear in
> the fall issue of Currents.
>
>
> For additional information, contact:  William J. Crowe, Spencer Librarian
> (785/864-4970); or Sheryl Williams, Curator of the Kansas Collection and
> University Archivist (785/864-2027), or Richard Clement, Special
> Collections Librarian (785/864-4217); or Rebecca Schulte, head of Reader
> Services (785/864-2024).
