Beginning this month, construction will begin in Hardin Library that will transform the space into one that we hope will be more welcoming and more relevant to your needs. By the end of the project, which will take two years:
Among the anticipated improvements include the addition of more group studies on the 2nd and 3rd floors and updating of the individual study rooms on the 4th floor. The 4th floor improvements are thanks to a grant funded by the Roy J. Carver Charitable Trust.
The first activity you will notice at Hardin will be on the 4th floor. Beginning August 8, most of the print books published before 2010 will be removed and sent to the Library Annex to accommodate the expansion of study space on the that floor. The book move will take place in two stages, each lasting about a week, in August and in December. Most of the current books in Hardin’s collection are electronic and so will continue to be easily accessible from anywhere. If you need an older print item, books at the Annex can be requested and delivered to Hardin for pick-up or even sent to your office or home (although not to dorm rooms). Older books with high use can be permanently returned to Hardin.
Later in the month, beginning approximately August 22, work will begin on the 1st floor to build offices for the Vice President for Research’s Environmental Health and Safety group. Also this fall, public restrooms on the 3rd and 4th floor will be enlarged and improved. Restrooms on the 1st and 2nd floor are scheduled for upgrades next year.
The gender neutral restroom on the 3rd floor is being remodeled and after remodeling Hardin Library will have 2 gender neutral restrooms.
We know that construction will be disruptive, but Hardin will remain open and metered parking will continue to be available in our lot. We have asked that the noisiest work be done overnight, when it will disturb the fewest number of people. Earplugs are available at the 3rd floor service desk and in the 24-hour study. We will keep you updated through signage and blog posts.
If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, you can use our anonymous feedback form or contact any Hardin staff member. You can always contact me directly at janna-lawrence@uiowa.edu or at 319-335-9870.

Welcome to Mary Thomas, Hardin’s newest liaison librarian! Mary joined the Hardin staff on August 15, 2022 and is a recent graduate of the Master of Library Science program at Emporia State University and did an internship at the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Boulder Labs Library. Mary was also a member of the 2021-2022 cohort of the Research Training Institute of the Medical Library Association, a competitive online program designed to provide training in advanced research methods to health sciences librarians. Mary’s research on the use of Mental Health First Aid training for library staff resulted in a virtual poster presented at the 2022 conference of the Medical Library Association in May.
Mary previously lived in Boulder, Colorado, where she received bachelor degrees in Psychology and English are from the University of Colorado. While working as a high school English teacher, she realized she could combine her interests in information literacy and health information in one job as a medical librarian.
After several weeks of orientation and training at Hardin, May will become the liaison to several departments, including Pediatrics, Psychiatry, and Neurology, and will join other Hardin librarian in teaching Hardin Open Workshops sessions. Mary is excited to be able to use her teaching and librarian skills with her new community at Hardin.

As part of the construction projects currently underway at Hardin, most print books published before 2010 will be moved to the Library Annex.
In August, 40,000 books were permanently moved to the Annex; these were from the beginning of the call number range, starting with A and going through QR92 L5 C66. The remainder of the pre-2010 collection, approximately 50,000 books, will be moved to the Annex in December.
After ingestion into the Annex, which may take several months, you will be able to request these books through the InfoHawk+ catalog for pick up at Hardin or another campus library, or even delivered to your office or home (although currently not to residence halls).
If you require a book that you believe has been moved to the Annex but is not yet available there, please request a copy through Interlibrary Loan. We will obtain a copy for you from another library, at no cost to you.
Because e-books make up the majority of books in Hardin’s current collection, we hope that this change will have minimal impact on users. If a book located at the Annex is used frequently or is needed for course reserve, it can be returned to Hardin’s shelves. Hardin books published before 1980 have been located at the Library Annex for several years.
If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, you can use our anonymous feedback form or contact any Hardin staff member. You can always contact me directly at janna-lawrence@uiowa.edu or at 319-335-9870.

Carlisle Isley, BFA, is an artist, papermaker, bookmaker and world traveler. She grew up in a multicultural world in seven different countries — a neither/nor world that cannot be stereotyped as a typically “white American childhood.”
The non-traditional way she was raised allowed her to engage, understand and respect many other cultural voices. In June of 2021 she moved from Rwanda to Iowa City to pursue a Masters in Library Information Science. Having access to information will allow a person to discover and empower their identities as information seekers. She believes her purpose is to promote information literacy so a community can have the tools to get their voices and thoughts heard.
