Abstract
Description
As part of its 25-year anniversary celebration, Rodgers Library for Science and Engineering at The University of Alabama developed a poster highlighting changes in collections, services, and facilities. The changes promoted study and research among students and boosted faculty use of the library. At the beginning of this period, attention shifted to digital libraries, as journals, indexes, and books that were previously in print format became digital resources. More than one hundred software applications became available on upgraded desktop computers. Facilities saw considerable transformation with new furniture, flooring, and paint schemes. Collaborative spaces for students improved with the addition of more group study rooms. Outreach and instruction became a priority.
