Marine Resources Library

The MRL will be closed from 12/22/2022 through 1/2/2023 for the winter break. We will reopen on Tuesday, January 3. We wish you safe and happy holidays!

Seven weeks of Python learning have reached their conclusion here at the Marine Resources Library today, and what a great experience it has been! It’s been a joy to work with graduate students and SCDNR and NOAA researchers to explore the basics of this popular programming language. And even more exciting to begin to hear how people hope to apply it in their work. Thank you to our 27 participants for your engagement and contribution! Special thanks to Jeff Guyon, NOAA, for his valued contribution to this series of training sessions!

Things are afoot in the stacks at the MRL! We're tackling a major collection shift to condense the entire book collection onto the SpaceSaver mobile shelving. This will enable us to remove the three fixed shelf ranges to free up floor space for seating in the short term and new initiatives in the future.

If you're using the mobile shelves, please pay extra attention to ensuring the aisles are empty before moving the ranges. People, book carts, and kick stools are in the open aisle much of the time at the moment.

Also, please do not remove any temporary notices that you see on shelves, carts, etc. We plan to move 40,000 books without any hitches!
