Taking a cue from its Expansion Subcommittee’s recommendations, the full Library Board last Thursday voted to reject , any expansion of the library facilities for the purpose of accommodating additional computers. In a related action, the Board also moved to have the Expansion Committee continue its attempts to identify pro bono architectural assistance to develop expansion concepts for the facility, in the event that expansion might prove necessary for purposes other than computer space.
The Expansion Committee’s evaluation comes as a result of an offer by the Friends , °f the Library to fund an expansion of the library, and this initial rejection does not necessarily mean that the Board will reject _the expansion concept altogether.
In his report, President Frank Warner inquired about the effectiveness and extent of use of the EBSCOhost journal database, and was informed by Library Director David Shaffer that the system is “doing what I wanted it to do” and that it is largely used by students conducting research. The EBSCOhost system enables the user to access a database containing searchable full text of over 430 periodicals, and searchable * indexing and abstracts for over 500 titles.
