Beginning at 8:15 A.M. on wednesday, July 19, there was serious
flooding in the core book stack area in king South. water was
spurting, dripping, and, in some instances, gushing from around
and in the vicinity of the book dumb waiter from levels A—H.
During the nekt two hours, thirty—five full—time staff members ~
and students from all public service departments in King South
who were not at a service desk, staff from the Director’s Office,
faculty from the college of Library and Information Science, and
the housekeeping staff responded tc the emergency.
A total of 4,140 books and 1,120 government documents were
removed from the water’s path. Rolls of plastic kept in the
“disaster closet" were used to cover ninety—nine whole shelving .
units as a preventative measure in case the leaks started to
spread down the aisles.
No government documents were water damaged. Circulation staff
identified fifty—two books that had various degrees of water
damage. These books were taken to 104B, stood on end, and placed
in front of the oscillating fan from the "disaster closet". By
5:00 P.M. all of the books were dry. Only cne needed to be
rebound.
On Thursday morning, Circulation put all of the books in call
number order on book trucks or on the temporary shelving on each
floor and labelled for patrons to use. On Monday, all of the
books were returned to the shelves. (Submitted by Judy Brown).
On August 17th, the Circulation Department finished the compres-
sion of the Dewey book collection and the Fiction and Biography
collections. During the summer of 1988 the 800s and 900s were
compressed and the Library of Congress books were spread out in
the core stacks to allow for more growth space. This summer’s
compression opened up 171 single—sided units of shelf space on
level C. Beginning the week of September 4th, Circulation will
shift all of the Library of Congress As—Ds to level C. (Sub-
