A Note from the Dean

It has been a lively Fall Quarter in the Libraries! UC’s record enrollment has resulted in extra heavy use of all of our libraries and of our Web site. Langsam Library computers are in constant demand and students can be found studying 24/7 in UCit@Langsam. Group Study Rooms are full throughout the Libraries and it is rare to see an empty spot in the 90-seat computer lab in the Donald C. Harrison Health Sciences Library. Renovation of the new space for the Albino Gorno Memorial Music (CCM) Library is proceeding on schedule with expected completion late in December. The move from the 4th floor of Blegen Library to the 6th floor will allow the CCM Library to operate in contiguous space rather than in two separate wings as it does now. The centerpiece of the new CCM Library will be the handsome Blegen Library Reading Room with tall windows, historic chandeliers, and wooden bookcases.

I invite you to sample our newest digital collection, Cooperative Engineer, which is featured in this issue of Source. From its imaginative covers to its articles and photographs, Cooperative Engineer offers a fascinating historical journey through the College of Engineering from 1921 to 1975 as seen through the eyes of its students and alumni.
