UNIVERSITY OF UTAH LIBRARY BULLETIN Vol. I, No. 1 October 9, 1967 News Notes One Million Volumes To Be Moved in December During the past several months a tremendous organizational effort has been tak-ing place in the libraries of the University of Utah in preparation for the move into the new Library and Learning Center. The desire to make everyone informed about this effort is among the excellent reasons for beginning the publication of the University of Utah Library Bulletin. It will be addressed to the scholarly community to furnish a means of making our development and progress more widely known» It will be issued at least once a month and if it fulfills our expectations, it will be continued after the move to assist in our efforts to develop the great library service possible in the new building. Certainly the year ahead will prove to be of signal importance.

Mrs. Jeanne Chapin, who is presently the Periodicals Librarian, will head the new Life Sciences Reference service in the new Library and Learning Center. She will begin functioning in this capacity in late October when a new Periodical and Seriáis Order Librarian will be appointed. The Fine Arts and Architecture collections, which have been housed for several years in temporary facilities near the temporary Fine Arts classrooms, were returned to the main Library after the end of the summer term„ These collections were merged . with other fine arts and architecture books in preparation for a vastly expanded Fine Arts Reference service in the new Library. Mrse Dorothy Van Stipriaan will still service these collections, which are now housed on the second floor in the former Cataloging Department. Literature, Philosophy and Religión books have been pulled together during the vacation and are now shelved on the entrance level to the stacks. Miss Annie Laurie Bearry, former head bibliographer, has been appointed head of this newly created |
