PurdueUniversity is renovating the Humanities, Social Sciences and Education Library, converting 60,000-sf to an advanced “Electronic Library”. The Walter and Saraellen Veon Electronic Reference Center, the centerpiece of the library, will contain a visitor service desk and a general study area housing 48 computers. The Center for Scholarly Communication will house electronic equipment to assist research and multimedia presentation. The main entry to the 18,000-sf ground floor will also be relocated. The facility is expected to open in February of 2003, with a grand re-opening in April.
