New computers - a few changes in Ref area

Just talked with Franklin and they are installing 5 new computers in the Ref area - near the windows in the back of the room on the small tables.  To facilitate the process, we did some quick rearranging and took the table near the Ref desk to the back of the room and moved the hole punch to the small tall table, near the ref office (formerly had a dictionary there).  the other equipment is on the end of the ref desk.  In the unlikely event that anyone should need to use microcards (these are now all in Ferguson) that reader has been moved to the closet holding the second ref printer, in the middle of the room.  There's a long term plan, when the documents are weeded, to move at least one and possibly more of the tall shelves.  More of the collection could easily go to the stacks but there's no room there.  We will be doing some withdrawals from the print collection in coming months - outdated materials and things that have online alternatives.
