Student-centered services coming to Love Library!

In partnership with the Office of Academic Affairs, UNL Libraries is excited to announce valuable student services moving into the Libraries! The Education Abroad Office, the Explore Center, and the Office of First-Year Experience are scheduled to move into Love Library South Room 127 and be open for services in Fall 2013. Students will have the opportunity to explore more than just library resources about traveling abroad, areas of study, professional paths, and much more. 

Currently a study space known as the "Talk Zone," room 127 will close on May 5 in order for renovations to commence. There will be alternative study space available on the second floor of Love Library South for our students. 

Here are renderings of what the new 127 will look like:

Planning Kicks Off

Architects from Sasaki (Boston) and Holland Basham (Omaha) were selected to work with the Libraries to produce a “Programming and Visioning Study ” that focuses on Love North, the Donaldson and Cather Gardens, and expansion of the LDRF. The two firms toured Love South and North the morning of April 9 and a planning group met during that afternoon to kick off the process that will continue through September 2013.

Media Services' New Space

One improvement completed! Media Services relocated in Love Library South to Room 221.  Check out DVDs or make your own movie with the office's video cameras and multi-media production computers.  Stop by and say hello to the staff and students in their new space!
