"The letters have apparently worked ... about a dozen textbooks have trickled into the reserve, and we ,are eagerly anticipating more," said Dr. Fred Heath, dean and director of Evans Library. Heath said the reserve will be lo cated on the second floor of Evans, jwhere the texts will be guarded carefully. "Students will check in their back packs before entering the reserve. Ex act plans are still under consideration, such as how students will check out a text and for how long. Some specula tion has been an hour at a time. In that “A dozen text books have trickled into the reserve, and we are eagerly anticipating more." — Dr. Fred Heath dean and director of Evans Library hour, students can Xerox pages, take notes or just read," Heath said. "The textbook reserve is a good idea. 1 would use it on certain days when I didn't want to have to carry around a heavy text," said Shelley Wolverton, a Memorial Student Cen ter Bookstore worker and a senior management major. "I believe stu dents will see this upcoming project the same way I do — beneficial, but not to be used in lieu of actually buy ing textbooks. "In some classes, such as kinesiol- ogy, you really don't need to buy the book. The reserve would be an appro priate way to study before the test in those classes," Wolverton said. "Book stores probably will see no direct ef fect of the opening of the reserve room, because most students realize owning a personal copy is more re sponsible, but it is a convenient back up plan," she said.
