Move it…

The University of Nevada, Reno seeks eleven new library faculty members to join us during a period of unprecedented growth and excitement. During summer 2008, the university libraries will move into a beautiful new facility. The Mathewson-IGT Knowledge Center will be one of the most technologically advanced libraries in the country. Computing and information technologies and support, combined with the latest multimedia tools and the resources of the University Libraries, will be housed in a physical environment designed for comfort, efficiency, and collaboration. It is destined to become a one-stop shop for research and presentation, reflection, and social interaction, and a focal point of campus and community culture.
