Annex Move: Communication to Faculty
The following communication was distributed on June 20, 2003 by e-mail to faculty in medicine and biology from Dr. Susan Starr, director of the Biomedical Library:

BML Journals Move to the Annex

As previously announced beginning July 7, 2003 the Biomedical Library (BML) will move 50,000 journal volumes to the UCSD Libraries Annex, an offsite storage facility. This move is in preparation for the much anticipated construction of an addition to, and renovation of, the library. The volumes being moved will remain in the Annex for the duration of the construction project which is scheduled to be completed in mid-2006. The move itself is expected to take approximately 8 weeks.

The journals that will be moved include:
- Journal volumes published prior to 1993
- Journal volumes for which there is stable electronic access
- One copy of journal volumes for which BML owns two copies

We recognize that many of you need to use these materials regularly, and we have taken steps to minimize the negative effect on your work.

- We have identified the most heavily used titles and will keep at BML volumes published as far back as 1965 for a select group of these titles.
- A delivery service will bring back specific items from the Annex for your use twice daily, Monday through Saturday.
- An electronic form for requesting items from the Annex will be available soon and linked from the BML website:

- Up-to-date information about the journal move and the construction project will be available on the Biomedical Library Addition Project website: http://scilib.ucsd.edu/bml/building/

If you have any question or concerns about the building project, please contact Barbara Slater, Capital Projects Coordinator for the Biomedical Library, at bslater@ucsd.edu or (858) 534-1196.
