Abstract

In September 2008, the Himmelfarb Health Sciences Library received a mandate to convert the second floor to quiet study space. The conversion involved the removal of the 70,000-volume bound journal collection. This poster presentation illustrates the steps taken to complete the collection relocation and describes the unexpected, beneficial results of this space change.
