MIT's Schering-Plough Library to Relocate at End of 2004 Academic YearContact:
Heather Denny April 2, 2004 MIT's Schering-Plough Library is scheduled to relocate its collection and services from its current location in Building E25 to the Science Library (Building 14S) at the end of the 2004 academic year. The decision to close the branch library that serves Brain and Cognitive Sciences (BCS) was primarily a cost cutting measure aimed to lower MIT Libraries' operating expenses in accordance with Institute wide budget constraints. The decision also was influenced by the impending move of Schering-Plough's primary community to the new Brain and Cognitive Sciences Center, where space will not be available to accommodate the library. Current Schering-Plough staff will remain with the Libraries. Schering-Plough and Life Sciences Librarian, Louisa Worthington will move full-time to the Science Library to continue her work in support of the Departments of Biology, HST, Brain and Cognitive Sciences and related biomedical research centers. In addition, Worthington will assume an expanded role coordinating library programs in support of rapidly growing areas of research and teaching in biological sciences and engineering. Schering-Plough Library Assistant, Remlee Green also will move to the Science Library where she will take on a new role filling a current vacancy in the Science Processing Unit. The majority of the move will take place during the summer, beginning June 14. Once the Schering-Plough collection has been fully integrated into the Science Library, users can take advantage of extended hours and greater access to all science related materials.
