Map Collection Open by Appointment as Staff Prepare for Move

Two Students Using the Map LibraryThe Map Collection at Western Libraries will be open by appointment only throughout the summer, as library faculty and staff prepare the collection to move to its new home in Wilson Library 2 East.

Anyone interested in using the collection prior to fall quarter should contact Rob Lopresti or Madeline Kelly for assistance. 

When it opens, the Map Collection space will feature an area for programming, new map cases and furnishings, and ample study space for all library users. The necessary renovations to Wilson 2 East will begin in late June and will disrupt collections and services previously housed there; a synopsis of anticipated changes can be found  here.
