>> I am back with another question. Our library is currently in the first

>> is our law school and law library relocating to a new building, move in
>> 2015. So the old law school will be vacant. Our library administration
>> has proposed that technical Services (Acq, Cat and ERM) relocate out of the
>> main library and move into the old law school, presumably to free up space
>> for students in the main library. This is a long-term plan, probably 3
>> years down the road and with other units on campus competing for space, it
>> may not even happen.

>> My question is, are there any libraries that have this arrangement? I
>> don't mean libraries that have several branches where tech services is
>> consolidated. I mean One campus, one library, One Technical Services
>> division. If we end up relocating, we will be about 1/2 mile away
>>
>> I'm interested in pros and cons of this arrangement. My personal feeling

>> (Elon College) had technical services located about 2 miles way from the
>> main library when I first worked there (I was in reference at the time).
>> The arrangement was less than ideal for many reasons. When Elon built a
>> new library, tech services was brought back on campus and moved into the
>> new library.
