Colleagues,

Please help us celebrate an important milestone in University Libraries recent history. We re-open the Zimmerman basement – closed for nearly two years of rebuilding after the April 2006 fire. We took the opportunity to rethink the entire arrangement of spaces and collections and we know you will approve the changes.

There are 10 more study rooms, a new 40-seat classroom, new reader/printer/scanners for microforms and additional computers for UNM student use. There will still be some details to settle but by the Grand Opening scheduled for April 30th we expect to be back to business as usual.

In addition to improvements in our physical spaces we are embarked on an effort to significantly increase digital content available from our website as well as improving the access we provide. I know you will find the changes as exciting as I do.
