Disappearing act at Steelcase

July 16th, 2007

The large microfilm cabinet that dominated the Steelcase Library reference area has found a new home. The microfilm, however, didn’t move too far–it’s now located in the automated retrieval system.

Plans are in the works for more student work areas in the wide open space where the microfilm cabinet once stood. And if you miss the cabinet, its individual components were moved to the fourth floor of Zumberge.
