Weeding of Some Older Journals

For the past several months, members of the Library faculty have been looking for sites in which to store the UAMS Archives collections currently housed in Hendrix Hall, which must be vacated June 30 of this year.

Unfortunately, there is novacant site on-campus or off-campus which could safely house the Archives collections. The only viable alternative is to weed enough of the older journals at the Distribution Center, most of which have not been used in several years, to allow space for storage of the Archives.

The weeding process will begin this month and the Archives will be moved to the Distribution Center before the June 30 deadline. If you have any questions related to the weeding project, please contact Mary Ryan (686-6730 or RyanMaryL@exchange.uams.edu) or Mary Hawks (686-6749 or HawksMaryS@exchange.uams.edu).
