Retrospective Bar Coding of Government Documents

Abstract

The Henry F. Moellering Memorial Library on the campus of Valparaiso University (VU) was built in 1959. It had been expanded and remodeled over the years; however, it became clear in the mid-1990s that the library building could not be effectively used to lead the university into the 21st century. Planning for a new building began in 1999 and, with a generous gift by Jay and Doris Christopher, the new building became a reality. Groundbreaking for the Christopher Center for Library and Information Resources took place in April 2002, and the building opened its doors in August 2004.
