ITS Media Collection Transition to the Library is Complete
Thanks to the efforts of ITS, the Library Media Center, and Physical Plant staff, we have successfully completed the transfer of our instructional media collection to the Library. Originally planned for completion in time for the spring 2010 semester, this phase of the project has been completed ahead of schedule.
Starting October 27, 2009 faculty will be able to pickup media from one central location in the Library Media Center located within the Love Library Addition, (lower level of the Information Dome) Room 61.
