In this report the committee recommends that all printed mat ter and documents which are pur chased with university funds shall be recorded in the catalogue of the university library, and that the board of regents be requested 1. To ask the legislature of 1935 for a library building; 2. To allow the University Sen ate to name a committee of its members which shall cooperate with the administration in select ing the site and approving plana of the new library: 3. To recommend to the legisla ture or 1935 mat it enaci legisia- tion whereby the Nebraska public library shall be incorporated in the University library and its activities be placed under the jurisdiction of the board of regents. Regents Point to Need. The erection of a new library building has previously been con sidered at the university. In its biennial reoemmendations for ap propriations sent to the governor early in November, the board of re gents call attention to this need. "Employment of labor in the heavy industries seems to be one of the essential conditions of early business recovery." stated the re gents at that time. "It is sug gested that the erection of a uni versity library may be wise at this time. The report of the library com mittee, made public today, does not go into details of cost, location, and type of construction, but noints out the general library situ ation at the university with certain j recommendations. It is under . i i fk.t thA nmTnitf stood, however, that the committee favors a type of building such as the library at the University of Illinois, which can be expanded without losing its architectural harmonv, to be located near Thir teenth and R streets, and costing about $1,000,000. In studying the library situation the committee finds that the gen eral librarv of the university con tains 2fej.fr20 volumes distributed in twenty-seven places on the va rious campuses. This, according to the report, includes some 22,500 volumes in basement storage rooms that are inaccessible to pa trons, and several thousand vol umes in departmental noranes ihat r locked or without super vision or in offices or similar j rooms.
