Overview
This update concerns changes recently made to the location of 'Arts File' items and 'reference only' journals previously held in the quiet study area on Level 3 of Te Puna Library (B 180). These changes have resulted in the creation of four additional small collections in the Library.
Arts File
The 'Arts File' items were previously held in two grey filing cabinets in the quiet study area on Level 3.
Some of these items (mainly Exhibition Guides and Catalogues) have been moved to the open mezzanine areas on Level 2 and 3. We have located them closer to other books/items of the same subject to improve access to these small but fascinating items, which include historical exhibition guides of local artists.
Some of the items were newspaper clippings about art, artists, galleries and architecture. These have been moved into boxes in our storage area in the basement of B180. They can still be accessed via a request on LibrarySearch.
Note: These items remain for use within Te Puna library only. They must not be borrowed or taken out of the library.
Journals
Some 'reference only' journals were previously shelved in the Level 3 quiet study area. Most were Architecture journals which have moved to the Level 2 'not for loan' shelves – these will continue to be not for loan.
There was also
a small number of other journals (general art and photography titles) that have been moved to the general shelves and made loanable.
