New Library Floor Plans

Floor plans for both library buildings (North and South) are now available on the library's floor plans web page. The plans are to scale and show the location of books, offices, and other pertinent features of the library like computers and photocopiers.

You can also download a printable PDF copy of the map on the page, which includes a separate list of the items on each floor.

Book Locations

Now that the library occupies two buildings, the locations of many of our books have changed. Unfortunately, due to technical issues these changes are not yet reflected in our online catalogue.

As listed in a previous blog post, here is a brief run-down of where books are located:

North Building South Building
3rd Floor A-H Periodicals
4th Floor J-PN PQ-Z

You can see a more detailed listing on the library's website, here: http://library.csudh.edu/info/shelveloc.shtml

Library Renovation Project

Beginning Tuesday, March 2 through April 29, the second floor of the library building will be undergoing renovation. During this time, some library services will be limited or relocated. We apologize for the inconvenience to our users, and thank you for your patience as we prepare newer and better facilities.

The following services will be impacted during these dates:

• Computers – Regrettably, computer access in the library will be limited to 26 computers. These computers are located in the Internet CafĂ© and the Instruction Lab (A213). The reference area computers on the second floor will not be available. Please plan to use the Welch Hall or Instructional Media Center computer labs during the renovation process. Printing will still be available.

• Seating – Second floor seating will be unavailable. Please use the third and fourth floors of the library during this period.

• Reference – The reference desk will be relocated to the opposite side of the second floor, next to the circulation desk.

• Information Desk – The information desk will be relocated to the Instruction Lab.

Library Construction Noise

There will be considerable noise from construction on all floors of the library building for the next few weeks, as the new library construction project is being connected to the existing building.

In order to connect the two buildings, walls along the South face of the library will be demolished over the next few weeks. There is likely to be a lot of noise from this, and we apologize to all students, faculty, staff and others who use the library.

Parts of the stacks on floors three and four are also affected by this process, as shelves nearest to the walls had to be emptied and removed in order to safely demolish the walls and to build temporary walls.

There should be no dust or other debris throughout the process, as temporary walls will have been constructed along the South walls to prevent the demolition from unduly affecting library patrons.

Please direct any inquiries or comments about the process to Adele Vanarsdale of Facilities Planning and Construction Management at (310) 243-3826. Her office horus are 8-5 Monday through Friday.

If you need help finding a book in the affected parts of the library stacks, please go to the Circulation desk for assistance. The Circulation desk is open during all library hours, and closes 15 minutes prior to the libary's closing time. Their phone number is (310) 243-3717.

The library will be open for normal summer hours throughout the construction process. See http://library.csudh.edu/info/hours.php for a complete list.

Again, we apologize for any inconvenience.
