Re: Arrangement of Current Display Area Dennis 14 Nov 1991 20:15 UTC

    Our current periodicals collection is arranged roughly by subject
    then alphabetically by title.  There is one large section (about
    half of the titles) called "Nonscience," which includes, aside from
    the obvious humanities and social sciences, titles in nursing and
    computer science.  The other sections are in the sciences:  General
    Science, Biology, Chemistry, Geology, Math, Physics, and
    Psychology.  Our bound periodicals are shelved in one alphabet by
    title, separate from the books.

    None of the Library staff likes the arrangement of the current
    periodicals.  We are maneuvering to rearrange them into one
    alphabet.  Our director has announced to the Faculty Senate our
    intention to move to one alphabet.  He expected to hear loud
    opposition from the science faculty, but so far none has arisen.
