The University of Nebraskan li
brary has more than 175,000 volumes
in its possession, Mr. Wyer stated.
Many of them are very old and val
uable. An annual aprpopriation
from the board of regents of ?35,000
is used for the up-keep of the books
now in the library and the purchase
of new books and periodicals. Many
o fthe books purchased to aid instruc
tors in their work must be secured
abroad. Other valuable sets are
purchased at auction in America. For
this purpose there are agents in Lon
don, Paris, New York and Chicago.
One of the best collections of
books dealing with the French Revo
lution is in the possession of the
University of Nebraska, due to the
activities of Dr. Fling of the history
department. Under the supervision
of Dr. Alexander of the philosophy
department, a fine collection of
books dealing with North American
Indian mythology has been secured
One of the greatest needs of the
University is additional library space
according to the librarian. The read
inc room has a seating capacity of
less than 2 00 and will accommodate
the number of students who need
to use reference books. Because of
lack of space for bookshelves, many
small branches of the library have
been started in various buildings on
the campus.
Library hall, in which the library
is contained, was built in 187. At
that time there were about 1500 stu
dents in the school.
University Library Has More
Than 175,000 Volumes
$35,000 Expended Yearly on
Up-keep of Books.
America has the finest library sys
tem in the world, and the older li
braries in urope are rapidly adopting
the American method of cataloging
books, M. G. Wyer, librarian of the
University of Nebraska, told the
freshman lecture students of the
College of Arts and Sciences, Mon
day afternoon and Tuesday morning
in Social Science auditorium. The
subject of his lecture was "The Li
brary." Through the use of the card cata
log system, library records are kept
up-to-date, allowing expansion of ,
files as new books are added. Cards I
bearing the name of the author and
the subject dealt with are inserted in ;
the card catalog, which is arranged
alphabetically, when a new book is
recorded.
In recent years the library sys
tem of filing has been adopted and
modified to suit the needs of the
business world, resulting in the loose
