Pickering Library Transformation Continues
Wheelock Library Collections continue to fundamentally transform our Pickering Library branch!
Here are some photos of the changes to our computer lab that show our growth. First, we took out some desks and computers that were located around the perimeter of the room.
Next, we have installed shelving units against the walls, where some rarely-used desktop computers were located. Although it looks complete in this picture below, the process is still ongoing.
We received our first large shipment – about 120 boxes of material (only a bit is shown below) – from the Wheelock Library early this week. We are now working to finish the shelving and integrate the delivered materials.
The receipt of materials will continue throughout this semester, as more large shipments are expected. Books from the Fenway Campus are being integrated into many different locations, including the Law Library, Mugar Library, and the Music Library. Many of the books from the Wheelock Library will remain in storage and available upon request: and thousands more titles will be moved into Pickering’s stacks for education scholarship, K-12 curricula, picture books, young adult literature, and reference books.
