We developed a project utilizing the local form/genre heading, "property data," and specific subheadings to help chemists, engineers, and those librarians assisting them to more easily locate library resources containing chemical and physical properties of substances. This article describes the project and examines possibilities for improving access to physical sciences literature in relation to Library of Congress Subject Headings and ongoing developments in authority records for form/genre terms. It also introduces functionality of such headings in the new "next generation" catalogs.

The relocation of library technical services units' workspace can become an opportunity to reassess all aspects of workflow, physical layout, and work environment. When the Resource Services Department of the George A. Smathers Libraries suddenly lost one-third of its workspace to a new Digital Library Center, the managers and staff learned valuable lessons about optimizing change. Relocation can be a difficult time for staff, but staff involvement, good communication, and positive attitudes can help everyone survive and perhaps gain from the experience. This article discusses the various strategies and methods used by the department to make the most of a relocation situation while maximizing outcomes.
