Compact Shelving Repair
Summer brings sunshine, flowers, and the moving of bound periodicals. The compact shelving on the 1st floor of the Library will undergo construction starting June 9th. The pre-1980 periodicals with the call numbers of JA 1 R48 through QL 671 A782 and TX 335 A1 through Z 6723 M54 will be offloaded and stored on temporary shelving on the 1st floor. If you need assistance finding a particular volume please ask for assistance at the MultiService Center.
During the month of July the pre-1980 compact periodicals with the call #s QL 671 A782 to TX 335 A1 will be inaccessible. If you need material from this area during that time please plan accordingly. If articles are needed from this area during that time they may be requested through interlibrary loan.
We anticipate the construction to be completed by the start of the fall semester. Thank you for your patience.

Rod Library presents a new resource for teaching faculty that promotes a positive approach to understanding copyright. The brochure, "Know Your Copyrights - What You Can Do", provides tips for faculty and teaching assistants in higher education about how they may legally use works in their teaching without requesting permission or paying additional fees. An Association of Research Libraries brochure was modified, with permission, by Rod Library to include local information. The brochure can be found at http://www.library.uni.edu/copyright/copybroch.pdf.
