Libraries introduce students to services
By Ann Owens
Love Library will offer both formal and
informal methods to introduce UNL
students to the library system this fall,
according to Dean Waddel, assistant
director of libraries for public service.
On the formal level, librarians will work
with freshman English classes, Waddel said.
"This is not a high level program, he
said. "In one class session librarians try to
familiarize students with basic services,
personnel, the collection and holding's
layout."
Another formal method of introduction
is tailored to needs of students and faculty
in specific courses, Waddel said.
"Librarians specializing in one topic can
gear information and library materials to a
particular level for the course," he said.
Tours offered
At the start of each semester Love
Library offers tours, Waddel said.
"Tours are kept on a general level," he
said. "There hasn't been an overwhelming
response to them in the past, so they
remain very informal."
The addition of the building's north'
wing-" Love North"-will improve public .
services at love, Waddel said.
The library has been storing more than
200,000. volumes in C.Y. Thompson
Library, the Undergraduate Library and
the Law Library annex, he said.
Move delayed
"We had hoped to shift all of these
collections before the fall semester started,
but defective shelving is causing a delay.
"When the shift is completed students
"will have access to all volumes in one
building.
Waddel said shelves in the old
building-now "Love South"-could not be
rearranged to hold the extra books because
they cannot sustain more than 60 pounds
per square foot.
To hold all the books the library has, he
said, the old floors would have had to
support 150 to 160 pounds per square
foot.
Study hall
Waddel said the Undergraduate Library
is scheduled to close at the end of first
semester. The area will be kept open as a
study hall, he added.
The fourth floor of Love South, which
housed the archives, has been emptied, and

will be able to use the empty office space
for projects. Persons interested in using the
space should contact Mrs. Handy m Love
S Waddel' said the increased space has
allowed improved organization of reference
materials. , . ,
"Card catalogues, which once snaked
around the hall in a disorderly manner, are
now in the link area which connects the
old and new sections of the library, he
said.
Shelf list
"The shelf list will chiefly benefit
appear on the shelves, has been added to
the card catalogues.
"The sneia asi win cruelly benefit
experienced library users," Waddel said
"The unexperienced library user might find
it hard to understand."
Along with space changes, Love Library
administrators revised the circulation
format. A new library lending code allows
more uniformity between the 13 UNL
library units, Waddel said.
Love Library, C.Y. Thompson Library
and the Undergraduate Library will be
open today, Thursday and Friday from
7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. They will be closed
Saturday and Sunday.
