Teaching and Learning Center Taking Shape
Construction of the new Teaching and Learning Center on the Library's second floor is proceeding quickly. As walls are framed, the planning committees are busy making preparations for the opening in January 2011. A campuswide open house is already planned for the week of January 18.
With construction comes dust and noise. Students and other visitors are encouraged to stop by the main service desk and request a pair of earplugs. Bear with us -- the end is in sight!

Selected Online Journals Canceled
Due to significant budget cuts across the UC system, the UC Libraries were required to cut online journal titles more aggressively than in the past. A review was coordinated across the UC Library system of several journal packages up for renewal in 2010. The Libraries canceled current subscriptions to a number of low-use, low-impact journals in order to bring costs down.
Altogether, UCSF lost access to 115 online journals in 2010. Content from previous years will still be accessible online. The UCSF Library made a concerted effort to keep the highest value and most relevant titles for the UCSF community in these publisher packages:
- Informa Healthcare
- Lippincott Williams & Wilkins (LWW)
- Mary Ann Liebert
- Taylor & Francis
