The College Library is available to all students who have paid their library fee.

As it extends stackroom by stackroom the only way to appreciate its size and variety is by studying the lists of new books, consulting the catalogues and looking through the new book shelves—on the left inside the library proper.

There are three parts to the library, if the booklined passage is excluded; the Science Room (on the left), the arts room (on the right) and the main library with balcony. All sections are open to students but the arts room hours are more restricted.

Balcony Neurosis

Some people are too shy (?) to venture on the balcony. Technical journals. American literature, bound legal periodicals and very appropriately, the religious section, are on the dizzy heights.

Why the balcony is treated with so much diffidence no one knows.

The Key

A plan of the library organisation was once provided in a small booklet and arrangements are under way for it to be reprinted.

In the meantime students use the diagram plan on one of the tables in the main library and the librarians who are often very helpful. With the name of the book, its number and the plan most students find what they want.

All Law Students Ask . . .

All law students ask and suggest that other students do not sit in the alcoves lined with law reports. There is a good reason for this.

Law students must make constant references to law reports and if they have to get up and walk from the other side of the library, students are disturbed. Other law students often require the same volume a few minutes later and still more unnecessary disturbance is caused.

These peculiar conditions do not apply to other sections of the library. No rules govern where you may sit but convenience does.

The science room, for example, is almost exclusively populated with zoogs, biols, chems and bots, although many of the books in the room are outdated and comparatively useless.

Take a Close Look

All students should take a close look at the library. Wander round. Look at books and periodicals, and work out the various divisions.

To make full use of the library it is necessary to know where everything is. Some students never know at the end of five years.
