The retrievals process at Engineering continues to be full of excitement.

Generally we wait until a pause in the banging and power tools indicates that the construction workers are taking a break, then we head up in the lift (wearing a reflective jacket for safety and carrying a torch because the lift lights are out), pick our way over various obstacles, and clamber through the plastic sheets that have been wrapped around all the shelves.

Some areas are a bit trickier — here’s one where scaffolding blocks access to a large number of books.

To see more of what’s happening, have a look at our ‘Merger Construction’ photos on Flickr. Even more photos are in Q:\Deborah\2009_Construction
