Reading rooms now open later

andersenexerior2jul05.jpg

The Archives and Special Collections (ASC) reading room in Elmer L. Andersen Library and the James Ford Bell Library reading room in Wilson Library are now open Thursday evenings until 8:00 p.m.. If you'd like to use these collections on Thursday evenings, please make arrangements with individual ASC units to have materials paged in advance, as retrieval of materials will be limited during evening hours.

I think that will be beneficial for all students. The hours should fit with the students' schedules.

I hope it will get widely publicized throughout campus so that it gets utilized. I would also like to ask if the user data supports the libraries being open earlier rather than later. couldn't these reading rooms be opened from 10 am - 7 pm daily, for example, rather than 8-4:30? Are there really enough users early on to justify that? I would think more students would prefer later hours. As a grad student, I know I would.
