Until this summer, the faculty of the Duke University Theater Studies Departmenthad its digs in various buildings on the far north reaches of East Campus. As of August of this year, the theater faculty have moved into newly renovated offices in the Page Building. At the heart of West Campus, they are now in close proximity to Page Auditorium and to the theater classrooms, costume shop and performance spaces in the Bryan Center. The move brings Theater Studies faculty, adjunct and technical crew staff together on West, and the Libraries have responded by bringing its theater collections to Perkins from its previous home in Lilly Library.
Literary and dramatic works by the same author are now shelved together on the fourth floor of Perkins. Play-scripts are still being interfiled (the last several volumes can be found on the third floor of Perkins ), and the shelving should be complete within a month. Researchers who have any problem locating a volume should visit the circulation desk on the first floor, where staff are as always available to help locate items. Theater reference materials can be found on the Perkins first floor.
“We believe that even in the age of Google and globalization, the Humanities continue to shape the way people study, research and publish and that libraries are at the center of this enterprise."
