M Stack Area in Cook Library Gets New Home

August 20, 2009 at 3:06 pm (Uncategorized)

If you have not ventured over to Cook Library this summer and head to the 4th floor to grab a copy of a needed score, you may feel you have landed in an episode of The Twilight Zone.  Due to some massive shifting of collections required by the acquisition of the Baltimore Hebrew University collection, the M area of Stacks has a new home.  All M print materials, with the exception of current paper journal subscriptions, are now housed on the 5th floor of Cook Library.  The location of materials on the floor is almost identical to where they were formerly housed on the fourth floor, but now you must climb one floor higher to see them. 

As part of this shift, all bound  journal titles in music have  received call numbers and are shelved under their respective numbers in the M, ML, or MT sections.  The latest paper copies are still housed in the Periodicals Reading Room.   Quarto M scores are still at the beginning of the M stack section, and the M folios have been moved to the folio section of shelves at the front of the fifth floor.  End of aisle stack signs are being printed as this post is being typed, but may take a while to be visible.  Please bear with us as we put the final touches on the new home for the M stacks materials.
