- Progress report on relocation of biology library collection:
We are (so far) keeping the catalog records up to date so you shouldn't have any problem finding items in the biology library. When we know our moving/closure date, I will let you know.
VHS videocassettes have been transferred to Olin level A.
Folios (very oversize volumes) have been transferred to Olin Library level B
Biology copies of Dissertations have been transferred to West Campus; in most cases these will be circulating 2nd copies. Remember most dissertations published after 1996 are also available online in pdf format to WU users via Dissertations and Theses @ Washington University in St. Louis
Department of Biology and Department of Zoology publications collections have been transferred to West Campus. Future collections will be a web page of citations with links to online versions.
Most materials formerly shelved in biology reference and biology permanent reserve have been transferred to the biology general stacks, so they will go to Olin Library level B with the major move later this summer. A few volumes have been transferred to the Reference shelves in Olin Library level 1. In cases where there were already copies at Olin Library, the biology library copies have been withdrawn.
Biology books with call numbers A-P (except oversized books) have been transferred to Olin Library.
Your questions, concerns and suggestions are always welcome! Ruth Lewis email rlewis@wustl.edu phone 935-4819. - Best Sellers in Physiology September 2008 to date as identified by YBP Library Services. Titles are linked to a local catalog record when available.
