This spring, we moved five of our largest collections (Stanley Marcus, J. Erik Jonsson, Texas Instruments, Belo Corporation, and JCPenney) from the basement of the Science Information Center to the East Basement. The move is in preparation for the construction of the new Trevor Rees-Jones Library.
With the help of our awesome student assistants—Jeremy Baron, Jordan Cox, Olivia Gonzalez, Craig Truitt, and Brian Winandy—and the DeGolyer staff, we inventoried videotapes, removed slides from slide storage units and stored them properly, created new box labels, prepared other items for a move to Iron Mountain, and physically carted many library carts of boxes through the library. More than 2,500 boxes were moved. The boxes are now neatly labeled and in order on shelves.
