Physical Science and Engineering Library closing at UC Davis

Just a bit of sad news, the University of California – Davis decided to close down its Physical Science and Engineering Library. Budget cuts are said to be the reason behind the decision.
400,000 items will be moved to other campus libraries as well as other institutions. The library will close by 2011. The decision doesn’t seem to be favored by all librarians and students. I’d be curious to know the faculty’s reactions. And the actual future use of the building.
As the first USF librarian at the Lakeland campus (now Polytechnic), I opened the USF Polytechnic Library in January 2007 and have developed its various services.
I've held positions as information broker, Internet consultant and academic librarian in Canada, the US and Europe.
A blogger since 2001, I've created and maintained several sites in, and outside, of the biblioblogosphere.
I'm active in SLA, and currently serve as on the boards of the Academic Division and the Florida-Caribbean Chapter.
