FLUXLIST: OSU Rare Books temporary closing

[John M. Bennett]

The Rare Books and Manuscripts Library of The Ohio State University Libraries (OSUL) will be closed from May 30^th until July 10^th, 2006.  
 
The Main Library at OSUL will undergo a $100 million renovation beginning in Autumn 2006.  In preparation for the renovation, the Main Library will be emptied and Rare Books will be the first unit to vacate the building, a process that has been going on for over a year. Rare Books finds it untenable to operate its reading room and reference services, and conduct the final stages of its move simultaneously. 
 
On July 10^th, Rare Books will reopen in its temporary home at the Ohio State University Archives at 2700 Kenny Road, Columbus, Ohio 43210-1046.  It is anticipated that Rare Books will be in this temporary location until Autumn 2009. 
 
Please feel free to contact us on or after July 10^th regarding reference requests.
 
Please address concerns to Geoffrey D. Smith at [EMAIL PROTECTED] or 614.292.5938. 
 
 
This includes the Avant Writing Collection.  You can also contact me with any concerns: John M. Bennett, [EMAIL PROTECTED], 614-292-3029
