Computers are once again available in the library.  New carpet installation continues.

Beginning the week of August 10^th study areas in the Medical Library will be closed and access to computers and print materials will be limited for 2-3 weeks due to the installation of new carpeting. The circulation desk and reserve collection will be accessible during regular hours and reference librarians will continue to be available from 9-5. Please see the library website (https://library.medicine.iu.edu) for up-to-date information on access to the library during this time.

The study areas on the 2nd & 3rd floors of the Medical Library are now officially closed to patrons.  All furniture and computers have been moved to the first floor.

The study rooms on 3rd are now closed for usage.

For safety, we ask that you use the 1st floor for research purposes or the study room 179 in the Daly Center.

This does not effect access to the offices on the 2nd and 3rd floors as well as the History of Medicine Room.

On Monday, May 11, movers will begin removing furniture from the 2nd & 3rd floors of the library in preparation for renovation.

Once the furniture has been removed, all computers and study space in the library will be on the 1st floor.  Computers and study carrels from the library have already been moved to the Daly Center for use during the renovation (Room 179) Study Lounge) to provide additional study space for students.

Construction of classrooms and study space on the upper floors of the library is expected to begin later this month and be completed in early 2010.

On Monday, April 20, workers from Better World Books will be back in the library to finish dismantling the shelves from the third floor and clear out the shelving from the second and third floors.  If the noise is too distracting, keep in mind that several of the study carrels from the library have been moved into the Daly Center for use during the renovation (Room 179, Study Lounge). Ear plugs and/or headphones may also come in handy!

As a reminder, all of the journals that were previously located on the 2nd and 3rd floors have been moved to the 1st floor.  As we are in the process of updating our journal records online, if you can’t locate a journal, please go to the main desk—they can help you.

Thanks again for bearing with us!

For those of you who have frequented the library today know, the dismantling of shelves is not a quiet task.  We do apologize for the noise and disruptions this may have caused, but please bear with us as this is the first change in moving into the future.

The removal of the shelves from the 2^nd and 3^rd floors is taking place today (Wednesday, April 1) and tomorrow (Thursday, April 2).  The movers will be here until 12 midnight tonight and will come back tomorrow morning at 7am to work until all the shelves are gone.
