I think the library would be better if they fined for overdues. It also scorns strange that the library has no microfilm reader. Victoria should be one of the first to purchase one, especially as there is so much good film available in New Zealand, Australia and obtainable from the United Kingdom and the United States.

To freshers and others who are new to the Library it is only fair to point out that the Vic Library uses the Library of Congress system for classifying books. Most Public Libraries in New Zealand use the Dewey or decimal system. Both systems have their advantages and disadvantages but the chief disadvantage of the Library of Congress system at Vic. is that most students are not familiar with it. In 1941 the Library published an excellent little pamphlet.' "A Guide for Readers." However, this sold out about 19-16. The Library is planning a revised edition, but it is not yet in the hands of the printer and according to latest information it will be published "some time this year!"
