Staffing the Library during the extra hours has been a large concern for Dr. Scrimgeour and the rest of the library staff. Because the entire facility is open, not merely one room or area as has been tried in previous years, proper supervision of the building was essential. Last fall the program was monitored by Public Safety officers after the circulation and reference staff left at midnight. In the spring, library personnel oversaw the extra hours. Funding the extended hours in the future has not been entirely resolved. Despite this difficulty, though, the library staff is determined to continue to better serve student needs. "We want this place used," says Dr. Scrimgeour, and in answer to the current issue of funding, he says that a proposal has been submitted to adapt the next budget to accommodate a continuation of these services. Until then, however, the director says, "We will be open when the need is real. We don't know how, but we'll do it."

That attitude is a relief to the hundreds of students from all three of Drew's schools who consistently use the library, and it is refreshing to see such collaboration between each school of Drew University and the University Library. This move towards extended hours is a generous and responsive way to better serve the Drew community and the members of the community have responded resoundingly.\[ |

THE DIRECTOR'S CORNER:Without Commercial Interruption |
...
I am almost afraid to observe out loud that the typical book from a university press is without advertisement, save perhaps for the dust jacket, for I do not want to jinx the situation. Even popular books, the so-called trade books, rarely disrupt their texts with ads. Some now place a few at the end of volumes, but the text flows without interruption. For the moment, books are a port safe from the hucksters. Is it naïve to hope that they will always be free from commercial harassment?
