Bartle Current Periodical, Newspaper, DVD, Video and Music CD Collections Have Moved
During Spring Break, the Bartle Current Periodicals, Newspaper, DVD, Video and Music CD Collections were moved to the Josiah T. Newcomb Reading Room, located near the Library Tower Coffee Kiosk. Listening and viewing equipment was also moved to the Newcomb Reading Room. The DVD, video, and CD collections are housed behind the Newcomb service desk with staff available for assistance. It is no longer necessary to page music CDs.
The Bartle current periodical collection was formerly located on the 2nd floor mezzanine. BU Libraries have access to over 62,000 journals, the majority of titles are available electronically and there are fewer paper issues in the collection. The 2nd floor mezzanine was not included in earlier renovations and the functionality of this space had diminished. In response to student needs, expansion of the Bartle Information Commons is in the planning process. The mezzanine area will be incorporated and there will be additional computers, laptop workspace and group seating.
