Library being digitized - how to update citations

The Arizona State Genealogical Library was boxed up and moved to an archive building (about 20,000 cataloged items).  The plan is to digitize the Arizona related items and items out of copyright and then dispose of them.  The library has indicated that once the items are disposed of they will be deleted from the catalog.  In the meantime, the catalog information hasn't been changed to reflect the new location of the materials.  Should I use the catalog information for the citation or should I update my citation to show the new location?

Galin, the basic rule for all citation is this: Cite what you use. If you used it at the old locale, then you cite the old locale. You might then add a note to the citation sentence to say that the materials have been removed to [whatever repository].
