Library Facility Survey
Carl Stewart, 303-492-2249
All of the University Libraries locations on campus have undergone a broad preservation survey which examines procedures and the condition of the collection areas. As part of this work, we have consolidated data from our five-year-old environmental monitoring program, identified and mitigated potential disaster risks, and educated the library staff and the respective building proctors about preservation concerns within each building.
A summary of the findings in Norlin Library is available. Please contact Carl Stewart if you wish to review the complete report on a facility.
