Moffitt scaffolding work 6/27-7/1

Posted on by UC Berkeley Library

Starting on Monday, June 27, the scaffolding set up around Moffitt Library will be reconfigured to allow for additional work to be done on the upper parts of the building. This work is scheduled to last through the week, and it may disrupt normal traffic flow at the main entrance to Moffitt and the terrace outside the Free Speech Movement Cafe.

Monday through Wednesday, work will begin on the north side of the building, on the back side of the FSM Cafe terrace and on the side closest to the East Asian Library. On Thursday and Friday, the focus will shift to the main entrance of Moffitt and the FSM Cafe area. Signage, flaggers and caution tape will be used to safely direct everyone, so please stay alert when walking through the work areas.

Commercial vehicles will be parked outside the entrance to Moffitt and in the loading dock area. Materials will be offloaded up the hill near the bike racks and in the loading dock area.

Once the scaffolding is in place, all doors will remain in service during normal hours. The scaffolding is scheduled to be in place until early August.

Thanks for your patience during Moffitt Library’s renovation.

Big Changes for the DMPTool, but first, a little downtime.

Posted on by Anna Sackmann

During the month of May, project developers for the DMPTool and DMPOnline (the UK’s version) began combining documentation to create the DMPRoadmap. Coming next year, the DMPTool and DMPOnline will merge into one Data Management Plan service that can be used internationally and that combines the best features of the current DMPTool and DMPOnline. You can follow their progress via their GitHub Repository: DMPRoadmap.

Stay tuned for updates. In the meantime, the DMPTool will experience brief downtime for mini-maintenance on Wednesday, June 8 2016 from 4:00 – 4:30 (PST).
