Over 175,000 volumes of fact
and fiction are available to stu
dents, faculty and staff members
in the Cushing Memorial Library,
located immediately east of the
Academic Building. The building
was completed in 1930 at a cost
of $215,000.
The Library subscribes to over
2,500 periodicals, 45 newspapers,
and indexing and abstracting ser-
| vices. It is a depository library
for United States governmental
documents on a selective basis,
: has a complete selection of De
partment of Agriculture soil sur
vey maps, and has a micro-film’
reader, for which an increasing
supply of material is being col
lected.
The required reading room has
been expanded to meet the needs
of the coming year, as has the
; reserve reading room. An increase
in shelf space has provided room
for nearly 3,000 books in these two
departments. The greater part of
the additional space will be used
for required reading.
Exhibits Shown
In the first-floor lobby of the
building is space for exhibits sent
to the Library by various maga
zines and publishing houses. TTie
trophy case now in the center of
the Academic Building’s rotunda
will soon be moved to the lobby of
the Library.
Upon entering, you will see a
room to the right with a small
sign above reading “Newspaper
Room.” There you will find news
papers from over Texas and lar
ger cities in the' United States,
plus magazines and other period
icals.
Opposite the newspaper room is
the scientific and technical per
iodical reading room. Only the lat
est copies of these periodicals are
arranged alphabetically in racks
along the walls. Back editions of
the current volume will be in spec
ial bins in the “stacks,” and can
be obtained at the loan desk on the
second floor of the Library.
Along with the loan desk, the
reference room and card catalogues
are on the second floor of the
building. All books must be check
ed out and returned at the loan
desk. Books may be checked out for
two weeks and renewed for the
same period. A fine of lOb per day
is charged for overdue books.
References Available
The reference, or main reading
room pxtends across the front of
the building on the second' floor.
Periodical indexes, holding files
for periodicals, atlases, map cases,
and technical reference books on
all subjects are available in the
reference room.
two hours, and 5 b for each hour
thereafter.
The required reading books are
shelved according* to the course
number. Books may be charged out
for two weeks.
Asbury Browsing Room
In the Asbury Browsing Room
are the fiction and popular non
fiction books. Smoking is permitted
in this room and in the newspaper
room. The Browsing Room is fur
nished comfortably to add to the
student’s enjoyment of leisurely
reading.
The Freshman Library of over
2,000 books, most of which is re
quired reading, has now been
moved from the Annex to the
main campus Library. This influx
of books is one of the factors
which required the enlargement of
the required reading room.
Music Room Moved
The Music Room, formerly on
the third floor, has been moved
to the Memorial Student Center.
There students will find individual
sound-proof booths where records
can be played.
Student identification cards ai’e
required before checking out books
in the Library. Reference books
and governmental documents may
at any time.
Only graduate students and fac
ulty members are allowed in
“stack” room. Books may be turned
in through the chute left of the
steps in front of the building,
when the Library is closed. During
regular hours, books should be
turned in at the loan desk.
It is hoped that organized touys
of the Library will be made by
special classes, and that a set of
rules for Library use can be put in
the handS of every freshman.
Large Staff
A staff of 30 full-time and 10
part-time workers will try its best
to help the entering student in
every way possible, according to
Robert A. Houze, acting librarian
Improvement of the Library and
its facilities is a constant drive
and aim of the librarian and his
staff. The Board of Directors re
cently allocated $100,000 for its
use for new books and back files
of periodicals and a constant ex
change of material with other li
braries. Special interest has been
placed on research material for
both graduate and undergradute
work.
