Flyers made by the HCL staff are being passed out at each of the 11 library locations. Letters to members of the faculty and FAS are being distributed, as well.
Hollis, the university's online library database and index, is already prepared for the change, as are the individual libraries' computerized book-tracking systems.
All books that are currently out and those that will be borrowed before the Jan. 31 implementation date will be loaned under the current policies, which vary from location to location.
