The staff at the Alexandria Campus Library has used the Winter Break to make
changes and improvements to our shelving and display areas in anticipation of the Spring 2014
Semester.
Circulation Librarian Paul
Chapman and Reserves and Interlibrary Loan Specialist Kevin O’Hagan used the time between semesters to finish the installation of
new endcaps on the library’s circulating shelves. This new slat-wall shelving
creates a flexible display space that is ideal for showcasing books in our
collection or as a community gallery.
Our Serials Specialist Michelle Jerney-Davis created new Library of
Congress Classification signage for each aisle to further improve the usability of the updated shelving. Her signs are rich with
text and images that make locating the right shelves for browsing a particular topic enjoyable and straightforward.
Chapman and Jerney-Davis have also been anticipating
students’ questions by creating a series of signs and displays with a “Get to Know
Your Library” theme. This campaign outlines the guidelines, components, and
services of the Alexandria Campus Library for new students or students reacquainting themselves
with our space.
Additionally, a display of handy writing and study skills books is up for students who want to sharpen their academic technique as they dive into their coursework. These works are available on the shelving unit at the front of the library.
