WHAT IS A LIBRARY?
WHAT IS A LIBRARY?
WHAT IS A LIBRARY?
Public and institutional collections and services may be intended for use by
people who choose not to—or cannot afford to—purchase an extensive
collection themselves, who need material no individual can reasonably be
expected to have, or who require professional assistance with their
research…. Modern libraries are increasingly being redefined as places to
get unrestricted access to information in many formats and from many sources.

That program required significant librarian
intervention; the current proposal imagines a loan
program that is much more hands-off, but that
presents opportunities for highlighting interesting
work on the campuses.
