Davis Library renovations to provide
more study, storage space for SU
By Mike Waller
Staff Reporter
Construction on Davis Library
will allow additional study space
and needed book storage, Jean
Thomason , the associate director of
the library, said.
The addition is expected to be
completed by Augustand should be
open for the 1993 fall semester.
She said several changes are
planned including the relocation of
the computer lab. IBM computers
will still be used and the lab will be
aboutthe same size, Thomason said,
but it will be nicer and more central¬
ized.
The periodicals will be moved
from the basement to the main floor
because it is a popular area with the
students, Thomason said.
The academic area will also be
changed, Thomason said. “One area
is for business, and it will have
business reference materials, some
of the current periodicals...and new
bodes in business so you can come
in the library, go to your area and
browse through to see what’s going
on,” she said.
