As part of my overall plan to improve the way the library works, I have started making new (and I hope better) signs to mark the bookshelves. This may seem like a small thing, but not being able to find the right shelf holding the book you want is a really big deal when you're between classes and in a hurry. Now we have signs that have directional arrows pointing to the side of the bookcase in which the books are organized. For example, on the bookcase nearest the easy chairs, the biography side is clearly marked with an arrow and the word "biography," and the other side, which has fiction, has its own arrow and the alphabetic span of books in that area.
I'm all for wandering around the stacks, of course, but sometimes you just really want that copy of Robin Lane Fox's biography of Alexander the Great and don't have time to wait. Now you don't have to.
