Processing Federal Document Disposal Lists During Renovations

Abstract

Renovations and restoration of the Indiana State Library and Historical Building began in June 2001 and were completed in August 2003. While the building closed for only a few weeks to the public over the course of the renovations, large portions of the stacks were inaccessible for months at a time. Although this situation periodically created a challenging work environment, staff members overcame this challenge by creating new ways of working.
