Welcome back Blazers, we hope that you have had a great summer and are ready for the new semester. There have been a few changes made around Odum that you should know about. As you may have noticed, the north side entrance is closed because of recent renovations. Because of this construction zone some areas have been shuffled around in order to accommodate.
One of the most important changes is the move of our main Circulation desk. All circulation services are now located at the new location of our main circulation desk on the first floor, near the southside entrance and the internet cafe and auditorium. You can check out and return books as normal or find your reserves there as well. The study rooms next to the Internet Cafe have been repurposed for Circulation staff and are unavailable for student use.
eLearning and ILL offices are still in their original locations and can be accessed from the south side of the library. The computer lab 2633 is also operational and open, unless there is a class. You can use the inner elevator normally but the 2nd floor option is closed for the construction. Signs are posted in the area for additional reminders.
The TRU Helpdesk has been moved to the 1st floor where the microfilm/microfiche machines and printer were located previously. So if you need assistance with connecting to the Wi-fi, VSU accounts, etc. they are still available to lend you aid. The microfilm/microfiche machines have a new home in the north corner of the 1st floor passed the stairs and bathrooms.
Please note that while the north side entrance will remain closed until these renovations are complete, we are open for business as usual. To enter the library you will need to come through the south side entrance (the doors that face the Fine Arts building). We will have updates throughout the project so keep an eye on the Odum Blog, Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram.
So that about sums up what’s new here at Odum. As always if you have any questions about these changes or need assistance please don’t hesitate to ask any of our librarians or staff. Or check out our LibGuide on the renovation changes for even more information. We wish everyone a wonderful Fall semester and hope to see you in the library!
