If you are looking for the vertical file cabinets, they have been removed from the reference collection.  The vertical file project is mostly complete as the vast majority of the material has been weeded from the OPAC.  You may come across some records in the catalogue that have yet to be removed as student assistants have a few more boxes that need to be withdrawn.  There are also 4 boxes of government documents, 2 boxes that were sent to RBSC, and 1 box of material that I have stored in my office for review.  This material is not retrievable at this point.  If you come across a vertical file record that has not been removed from the catalogue, please send me the link.

Thank you to Julia and Leah for their hard work on amassing a large file listing of the vertical file material.  This project would not have moved so quickly without their help.

Just an update on the vertical file for those who are on the reference desk:

Non-Cir VF

The noncirculating vertical file is no more.  The cabinets will be removed shortly.  There will continue to be records within the catalogue for this material but Aprille will be working on removing these records within the coming months.

Circ VF

The VF circ material is slowly being removed from the filing cabinets.  There are now many empty drawers as the material is going through a selection process and being removed from the catalogue.  Any material that has a catalogued record is either in the filing cabinets, at RBSC or the archive, or in my office awaiting decision.  Should any questions come to the research desk about the location of the material, discuss the reasoning behind the need for the material as the majority of the use of the VF circ have been undergraduate students searching for material for their papers.

Thanks ~ Erin
