Lexicon Follow-up

Here are some follow-up points ont the Lexicon project.

1) Lexicon issues for 1971, 1994, 1998, 1999 and 2002 are not available in the reference collection, only in Archives. But due to the high traffic and fragility of the volumes (1971 volume is a looseleaf copy only), these issues are no longer available for the students to photograph. Prof. Edelstein will be contacted directly to schedule an appointment for him, or a delegated representative, to do the photographing. Students have access only to the materials available at reference.

2) Please discontinue referring students who seek access to the missing copies to Sandra Roff. Please explain to the situation as described in point 1 above.

3) As Rita Ormsby suggested in a previous post, in order to better protect the collection, overnight we will store the volumes in one of the file cabinet drawers, so they will not be visible and tempt students to go behind the desk to use them before we open at 9:00am. The librarian who opens the desk should move them out to the ready reference shelves.

Again thanks for your cooperation on this.
