Last fall the Library Advisory Committee began working with the Library Faculty to devise a plan to alleviate overcrowding in our library stacks and to make room for new acquisitions. In Spring 2016 the library negotiated an agreement for off-site storage with Iron Mountain, one of the industry’s leaders in storage and information management services. Over the summer 10,172 books published before 1950 which had not circulated in 12 years or more were sent to off-site storage. When viewed in the online library catalog, books included in the project display with the location “Off Site Storage”, and can be requested by clicking the “Place a Hold” button. Requested books will be delivered back to the library in one business day, and requestors will get an email when the book is ready for pick-up at the Circulation Desk. Books recalled from storage will not be sent back off site, but will be re-shelved in the library stacks after use. Please contact the library you have any questions about this new service.
This award encourages library users — professors, administrators, students — to submit nominations about how their librarian makes a difference on campus or in the community.
Up to 10 librarians in public, school and college, community college and university libraries will be selected to win $5,000 and will be honored at a ceremony and reception in New York, hosted by Carnegie Corporation of New York. In addition, a plaque will be given to each award-winner’s library.
Nominations are open through September 19, 2016, for the I Love My Librarian Award. Nominate your favorite College, Community College, or University librarian today!
The award is supported by Carnegie Corporation of New York, The New York Public Library, and The New York Times.

You can select to cite using the MLA, 8th edition by searching for it in the “More” dropdown next to “Chicago” on the citation page. However, EasyBib Customer Support has indicated that it is a “testing version.” They are aiming to have MLA 8 out within the next month.
