Compared to the mountainous Shields Library, the PSE provides students with a better studying environment by far. I don't think this is the best course of action. With this plan enacted, all of the engineering and biological science majors that primarily study in the PSE will have to migrate to Shields - making an already crowded library even more so. I think if anything, a UC Davis should reduce the library's hours of operation. Even though that's not the most favorable course of action either, it is better than the alternative.

I also suggest you use it sooner than later or you will be like me and find out that you paid ~$100 for a text you could have gotten for free. I can't wait for the rest of the publishers to catch up to Springer. Thank you. This is a truly fantastic resource, which I highly recommend to all students and faculty.
