The UCSB Library has launched a new blog to provide weekly updates on the Library Addition and Renovation Project, which breaks ground on June 17.

Work will start on the 8-story tower in June and a surge of effort during the relatively quiet summer will enable all seismic work to be completed by the end of this year, with most of it taking place during the hours of 12am-8am.

We are pleased to announce that The Study Bean has been selected as the new name, and that undergraduate students Justin Hart and Kate Wilkins are the winners of the naming contest.

The survey results indicate that, across all disciplines, most respondents do not object to offsite storage and retrieval, especially for journal articles.
