Reference Desk Removal at Stauffer

Posted: July 21st, 2015

Today we begin to remove the reference desk at Stauffer Library. The recommendations of the Public Services Renewal Project called for a reconfiguration of our service points to meet the needs of our users. Many of our locations have already consolidated to a single service point, and after much deliberation we decided to develop the circulation desk at Stauffer Library into an integrated service point. This integration will make it easier for Library users to connect with our services, and will also open up much needed study space.

Services provided by the QLC student assistants will continue in their new location at the circulation desk, reference by librarians will be provided through referral, and ITServices will move their help desk to the Micro Repair drop off desk on the Lower Level of Stauffer Library.

As we look forward to the exciting times ahead, we also honour the past of one of Queen’s signature buildings, and the space will be configured in the spirit of the building.

We are working to keep any disruptions caused by the increased activity to a minimum, and we will continue to keep you informed as this project progresses.
