THE LIBRARY Our library opened November 4th, after two months of frantic book processing to meet this opening date. We owned about 7,500 books, enough to meet accreditation standards, and by mid-year had more than 6,000 of them cataloged and in circulation. The staff aims at maximum accessibility and use of the library and is proud to record an average monthly circulation of 2,200 books. We strive to provide an attractive, enjoyable place for both student and faculty reading and reference uses. This facility is designed to be the “‘heart’’ of the school, functioning as a service agency to further school objectives; as a teaching agency to help students find and use information; as a laboratory through which to explore different realms of knowledge; and as a materials cen- ter for organizing, arranging, and displaying the school’s collec- tion. Meanwhile it continues to be an enjoyable spot for visiting and browsing, where friendliness and helpfulness are paramount. We are staffed by two librarians, but could not function with- out the efficient and whole-hearted work of the library assistants. These students, each volunteering a period a day, run the charg- ing desk, charge books out, process incoming books, shelve books and check the order of shelves, check in and maintain the order of periodicals, notify students of overdue books, count circulation, and do many other tasks which free the librarians for reference work and the ever-present problems of ordering, classifying, cata- loging, and processing of new books. Library assistants are indis- pensable to the running of a school library, and Jefferson is proud of its team of assistants for 1964-1965. MARY T. FITZPATRICK MARY P. ARDAI B.A., State University of B.A., George Washington New York University M.A., Michigan State Second Librarian and University Audio-Visual Supervisor Librarian
