Just an fyi for those who (like me) didn't already know this.
The Faculty Publications collection in Special Collections is currently off-site. Students often come to the desk wanting to use textbooks written by faculty that are in this collection. I talked to the folks at Special Collections, and they said the book would need to be requested, requiring a day or two to arrive. Obviously, this is not what the students want - they are usually trying to look something up for an assignment, etc.
These textbooks read 'Faculty Publications Collection' in the catalog.
Special Collections did say that they are planning to purchase additional copies of the textbooks in this collection to store in the new reading room for students to use when it opens. At least, that's the gist of what I understood. :)
