Announcing the New Savitt Medical Library Facility
By Joan S. Zenan, MLS, AHIP
Director
Savitt Medical Library/306
University of Nevada School of Medicine
The new Savitt Medical Library, located at the University of Nevada School of Medicine Reno campus, opened its doors on Friday, December 28, 2001. The new library has more than 21,000 square feet, three times the size of the old library. And, for the first time ever, all materials are in the same building. All staff have spacious offices with plenty of room to work or meet with other staff.
Our new facility has seating for 125 users in 7 different functional areas: the electronic information center, print reference collection, leisure reading, individual study carrels, computer lab, group tables, and an along-the-wall study counter. We also have a spectacular view of Reno and the surrounding mountains from the leisure reading area.
The look is "understated elegance" in cherry wood finishes with black trim, jewel tones in the leisure reading area furniture, and lots of light everywhere. It is an understatement to say we really like our new library!!
For a peek at various parts of our new library, go to the Savitt Medical Library's web site - http://www.med.unr.edu/medlib - click on the lower right hand area, then click on the blue arrow, and finally, click on the 7 listings under December 2001. The last 3 listings have captions and all will have captions shortly.
