In response to the current state budget climate and the need to create additional classroom space, Wright State University is consolidating the Fordham Health Sciences Library with the Paul Laurence Dunbar Library on the WSU main campus. With classroom construction scheduled to begin in the Medical Sciences building on June 15, Fordham Health Sciences Library’s last official day to be open to the public is Friday, June 12, 8 a.m. – 5 p.m. After June 12, Fordham’s course reserves, reference, and media collections will relocate to the Dunbar Library.
Fordham’s book collection will be reclassified and moved to Dunbar over the next 12-14 months; in the meantime, books located at Fordham may be requested using the WSU Libraries’ online catalog and then picked up at Dunbar Library the following day.
“Throughout the consolidation, we will maintain all library services with as little disruption and inconvenience as possible to our library users,” according to Stephen Foster, University Librarian.
In order to keep everyone informed of library plans and progress during this time, University Libraries has created a blog about the consolidation. Comments and suggestions are welcome.
