Six students were questioned)
recently on the services of
Behrend's Library. The question
posed was, "Are the services of
the Library adequate and what, if
anything, should be done to
change them?"
Their responses appear as
follows:
Fred Fiedler - Ist term, D.U.S.
"I think the Library is ef
ficient, but the handling of
periodicals could be more
organized, such as at other
colleges."
Nishi Gupta - 4th term,
Engineering "They're not
adequate, there should be more
reference books. For example,
the Lab Instruction pamphlets
for Physics are very rarely un
derneath the right title. I also
think the library should be open
for longer hours."
Patty Johnson - 7th term,
Communications "I think the
Library's services are
satisfactory as far as I can tell. I
like the carrells upstairs. I like
the copy machine and the ef
ficiency of getting reserve
materials. However, I'm not sure
how good the resources are."
Kirk Farbacher 12th term,
Pol. Sci., Lib. Worker "I think
the services in the Library are
adequate. It's just what with the
size of this institution increasing,
I think there should be more of an
Behrend Collegian'
effort made to increase the size of
the library structurally and
contentwise."
Rick Seaberg - Ist term
Engineering "I think they
could make it easier to find your
way around. A person unac
customed to the Library system,
in this school, would find it dif
ficult to locate materials they
require."
Greg Cantelmi - 4th term, Civ.
Engineering "I feel the
Library is adequate. For its size,
the librarians and the people who
work there do a fine job. As for
seating and keeping the place
quiet, it leaves much to be
desired. We need a bigger place."
