McHenry Library wayfinding

Good reminder, from Lee (libstaff message April 30, 2012):

"...we are now directing people to the North Elevator primarily for access to the Mathematics Department offices on the 4th floor AND as the ADA / handicapped access to the 1st floor capacity classrooms or (with the East Elevator) Gnd floor capacity offices.

Otherwise, direct people going to the 1st flr classrooms or the Gnd floor capacity offices via the outside route; out the foyer and around to the right.  The North Elevator cannot handle general classroom traffic and the outside route is quicker and more direct (as long as they don't have mobility issues).  Similarly, the West Elevator and Stairs are quicker for those trying to get to Education offices on the 3rd floor."

Citing maps

The most helpful source (in citing a map) is Cartographic citations : a style guide,

There are copies in both reference collections, as well as the Map Room. It's skinny and pam-bound. Z6021 .C55 2010
