2012-2013 General Catalog

The UCSC General Catalog is no longer printed. We have the 2010-2012 (through Spring 2012) at the desk, and previous catalogs in the Ref Desk stacks to the right of the desk as you face it (call# LD781.S5 U56a). You can access the current catalog here:

http://registrar.ucsc.edu/catalog/

It has linked PDFs for each department.

Ref College/Career books


If patrons happen to ask about Ref books with a location of COLLEGE CAREER, you can find them in the work area next to the 2nd floor kitchen. The books are on a truck being reviewed and SOON the location COLLEGE CAREER will disappear. As it is now, the books are in the catalog with the location COLLEGE CAREER and can't be found unless you're in the know. And now you are.

Ref weeding project

I wanted to catch you up on a few things having to do with the McHenry Ref weeding project.

1. There are about 15 book trucks lined up along the back wall/fence labeled Ref Weeding Project Jan 2011. These are the trucks we'll be using for the pull
2. The two SAIV students (one of whom started working on it today) will be doing the pull (under my guidance) and the plan is to have this project done by the end of Jan of this year.

If you have any questions about how this is going please let me know.

Many thanks.

Rodent problem update on 2nd floor

The custodians are working to clean up the rodent mess. Most of the affected sections have been cleaned in the Ref stacks, but there are still some areas that need attention. The sections that need to cleaned still have the small, discreet signs attached. The signs are being removed once the cleaning is completed.

There are two compact shelving sections next to each other in the Ref Z's that have extensive droppings that need to be cleaned. The handles for these sections are tied together to prevent patrons from opening them. This section is in the middle section of compact shelving, and not visible from the InfoCommons.

If you encounter a patron who needs material from this section over the weekend, please let them know the items need to be cleaned and they should be available Monday morning.

Please stay vigilant for signs of rodents when you are in the stacks. Preservation is placing yellow streamers in books that need cleaning. Notify Preservation if you notice more signs of rodent damage. Of course, Preservation would be grateful if you would place streamers in books that need attention. More of these streamers are at the Ref desk, in the cubby under the 3rd Mac.

thank you,

Lucia

2nd floor construction


Devcon is currently de-constructing the wall along G-line in the Reference shared work area, and will begin work in the second floor stacks area next Monday, April 12. It will take at least Monday and Tuesday to complete the work. As on the other floors, plastic will be draped from floor to ceiling by the contractor, and additional plastic sheeting will placed over the stacks by Operations and Preservation.

If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me.
