Mergent database changes

Mergent Online, long our core database for public company financials, will be shut down in June 2025. Replacing it is Mergent Market Atlas, which we already have access to.

Ava and Steve decided to list both Mergent databases in spring 2025. Nick added a note that Mergent Online is going away.

Links are here (and elsewhere, and on the A-Z list of databases):

Patrons seeking lactation room - NIB 147

 Hi all,

After the Tower closes on Dec 13, if you encounter a patron seeking a lactation room, please let them know that currently the closest known room is the Nursing and Instruction Building Room 147.  No reservation system, just walk in and lock the door.  OT Lewis is in charge of that room along with the entire building.

During spring 2025, we hope to have more news about lactation spaces.

Thank you!

Lea

New Shelving Location: "Jackson Library Lobby"

 From Cathy Griffith:

So that newly purchased books do not go to the stacks to be packed up and removed from the building in January, they will start being shelved on the currently empty shelves in the middle of the Reference Reading Room. In the catalog they will have the location of Jackson Library Lobby as shown in the example below (that uses and old book).

      Available
      UNCG University Libraries, Jackson Library Lobby
            D811.5 .P88 1944
Please direct patrons on the hunt for books in this location to Reference. The books will still need to be brought to the Checkout Desk or a Self Check to borrow.
As we move through November and December, more books (additional new, returned, etc.) will join them in ROI, so stay tuned for updates.
