It is amazing that, considering the enormous disruption of The Year of the Move, we lent only eight fewer items to other libraries than we did in 2000-2001. During the move, which began in June 2002 and ended in September, lending became increasingly difficult: once books and journals were relocated to the new Library, we had no access to them, since the building was still a construction site and the collections were shrink-wrapped as soon as they were placed on the shelves. Then, Research Services had no connectivity for approximately two months during and following the move, rendering staff unable to receive any requests.
