The selection was made on the suggestion and ad- vice of Dr. William Warner Bishop, under whose able gui- dance the work has been done, from a list of some two hun- dred college and university library buildings constructed during this period. In only a few cases has it been possible to vis- it the schools and inspect the buildings. Atlanta Univer- sity, Bluffton College, Emory University, Kalamazoo Col- lege, The Legal Research Library of the University of Michigan, Randolph-Macon Woman's College, and Sweet Briar College are those which were visited. The study of the other buildings is based solely on available floor plans and descriptive articles. It has been found desirable to study the build- ings by types, and accordingly, they are arranged under the following groups: T shaped buildings; Rectangular buildings; Hollow square buildings; Tower type of build- ings; L shaped buildings; H shaped buildings; E shaped buildings; Cross shapped buildings; Modified U type; and Additions to existing structures. Due to the size of the Baker Memorial Library A S V 1 building at Dartmouth, and also because of the size of their student enrollment this building has been included with the university libraries. For the same reason, Iowa State College of Agriculture and Mechanical Arte ic included with the universities. Illinois Wesleyan Uni- versity, James Millikin University, and Wesleyan Univer- sity are grouped with colleges because of their compara- tively small buildings, and since they have a student en- rollment smaller than the majority of universities. Lehigh University erected an addition to its library in 1930, and plans for an addition to the College of the City of New York have been drawn, and construction is contemplated to begin at an early date. Figures for student enrollment are based on statistics given in the World Almanac and also those listed in the annual catalogs of the respective colleges and universities. On the basis of this study and on a considera- tion of the functions of the library of Agnes Scott Col- lege, a library building program for Agnes Scott College has been formulated and is included as the final division of this paper. Ann Arbor, Michigan, June 1934. E.R.H. 1 vi. INTRODUCTION The three essential elements of a college or university are the teachers, the students, and the books. It is, therefore evident that the building in which books are to be housed, and in which they are also to be read and studied, assumes a place of primary importance, and may rightly claim a dominant position on the campus. fulfill the effective accomplishment of an educational institution the library demands and merits a central and prominent location, and one might add, an architecture1 character both distinguished and beautiful, so that it will suggest the importance of the printed word. In many of our older institutions this building frequently was beautiful architecturally but bore little or no relation to the use to which it was put. Appar- ently, there often was more interest in erecting a non- ument than a working building. The result being that within a short time, the structure was outgrown, inade- quate, and incapable of adaptation to serve the growing needs of the institution, and undoubtedly constricts its work. In planning a library building it is imperative that its functions be constantly kept in the foreground. The question might well be asked, what are the functions of a college library? The first that comes to mind is TO 1 1 vii the acquisition, the cataloging and classifying, and the shelving of the material. But vastly more important than the care of the collection is the function of speedily producing the information and material hen demanded, and providing suitable and comfortable space for reading and Another function of import is the display of the contents of the library, making it known to the users, arousing in them a desire to read, and stimulat- ing them also to read for culture and recreation. studying. "Any satisfactory plan for a librery building must be adequate in four particulers, in its provision of sufficient space for undergraduate study, for study of a more advanced type either by graduate students or. members of the faculty, for the administrative work of the library staff, and for the shelving and storage of books. In addition, and this cannot be stated too strongly, the plan must be sufficiently elastic so as to provide for the future enlargement in all of these four major services. If a building satisfies these condi- tions, it is successfully planned. In the measure that it fails to do so, it will hamper the proper development, not only of the library which it hours, but of the col- lege which it serves. "} Before formulating a building program it is 1. Gerould, J. T. The college library buildings, its planning and equipment.

The Advisory Group on College Libraries of the Carnegie Corporation of New York thered considerable data date on the physical and administrative problems of col- lege libraries throughout the United States, and have for- mulated a careful study of standards. 1. 2. 3. 나​. 5. 7. g. "In view of the responsibilities of the library in the educational program of the college the building will be successful only if planned with the full cooperation of the librarian. It should be designed for future as well as for present needs. 9. "The college library building should be used for library purposes only. > "The college library building should be central- ly located rith respect to the remainder of the college plant. : 6. "The reading room (or rooms) of the collere li- brary should contain seats for at least one- fourth of the student body, and should be used for reading and study only. "The college library building should be fire- resistant, with adequate provision for light and ventilation. "The college library building should have space for the efficient storage of the book collec- tion. G "Facilities for individual study should be pro- vided in the stacks for the use of advanced students and faculty members. "A separate room should be provided for the use of current periodicals. "There should be a special office for the sole use of the librarian. A separate room (or rooms) of ample size should be provided for the technical processes of the library (or- dering, classification, cataloging, etc.) ix - 2. 10. "The building should be so planned that super- vision of the public rooms and stack entrance may be exercised by the smallest possible number of staff members. In small buildings supervision by one person should be possible. The Carnegie Corporation of New York. The Advisory group on college libraries. College library stand- ards.

It serves Atlanta University and af- filiated colleges of Morehouse, for men, and Spelman, The reserve book room and the periodical room with an adjacent informal browsing room, are located on the first floor of the building, and the main reading or reference room, with northern exposure, cocunying the full length of the building and rising two stories in height, with reference collection and bound periodicals on open shelves that line the walls, is on the second floor. The card catalog, librarian's office, the cata- loging room, and the circulation desk are also on this floor, with a stack entrance directly behind the desk. On the third floor is space for offices and classes. the basement is the receiving room, space for the exten- sion department, service quarters, a lounge room for the staff and a kitchenette. The stacks have a capacity of 118,000 volumes, which is about three times the number of books now in possession of the university and its affiliated colleges. The statement has been made that the "stacks have been so constructed that additional I 12 - 3 stack quarters may be added without great cost or archi- tectural difficulty." ", 1 On the whole this is a quite well planned building. The reserve book room and the periodical room on the first floor, near the entrance, is a distinct ad- vantage, thereby eliminating unnecessary traffic through the building. The provision for staff in work rooms, lounge and well-equipped kitchenette, is most excellent. A glass partition separating the desk in the reference room from the charging desk makes it possible for one person to care for both desks during slack hours. location of the periodical room on first floor, sen- arated from the reference room on second, night lend itself to debate, but with the bound periodionls shelved on the second floor in the reference room, it is doubt- ful if this arrangement causes many extra stens for the reference librarian, and it certainly saves unnecessary traffic through the building.

Separated by an arcade, on one side is a reference room, and on the other, the periodical room, with the librarian's office at one end. To the left of the entrance vestibule is a coat room, and to the right a stairway, which leads in- to an exhibition hall on the second floor, off of which are three seminars. The north wing of this story con- tains the stacks, two levels in height. The cataloging room is contiguous to the stacks, directly above the librarian's office, connected by a stairs. In the base- ment is a circulating library for day students. The remainder of the ground floor contains an auxiliary stack room, together with work rooms, toilets, etc. The stacks are said to have a maximum capacity of 200,000 volumes. The most objectionable feature in this build- - 6- ing is that of the separation of the work rooms on three floors, far removed from each other, and definitely lim- ited in space. The circulation desk is far removed from the stacks, and a large amount of space is wasted by col- onnaded passage ways.

The law school of the University of Michigan has an enrollment of approximately five hundred stu- dents. The William W. Cook Legal Research Library building, costing approximately $1,600,000, as opened in 1930. The entrance to the building leads through a small vestibule into the massive reading room on the first floor, seating five hundred readers. Small al- coves flank one side of this room and half of the other, while the remaining half provides offices for the li- brarian and assistant librarian. Provision for catalog- ing and order departments have been made on either side of the stacks on this floor. The delivery desk extends out into the main reading room, directly opposite the entrance. The public catalog is in a small room direct- ly behind the circulation desk, leading beck into the stack. The second and third floor provides offices and studies for faculty engaged in legal research. Storage stacks, staff lockers and lounge, receiving room, toi- lets and machinery rooms are provided for in the base- ment. Excellent provision has been made in this build- ing for research workers by private study rooms on the 12 top floor, and in addition, carrels in the stacks. desirable feature is that of entering directly into the reading room from the entrance vestibule. The reading room must be used as a corridor for those desiring to consult the card catalog, to go to the stacks, or to use the elevator for floors above. The library staff also use the reading room as a corridor unless they use a rear entrance. The work rooms are separeted, which would seem to be very inconvenient. Control of the exit is rather poor, and supervision of the alcoves might prove Considering the use made of the law libre ry the alcoves may not be so undesirable as they would in difficult. a college or university library. -מני An · 13- 鹭 ​ Floor Plans AESBARCH ROOM D ALCOVE RESEARCH OROOM la lig oo DO I 002 HAIGNA 474 21144IFI ****T OC AHHH FEIFEELI DOFFER FETTE FLO ***THH Uf***iH 24HLH FL2 FULLttts ittiixi31 D2 ETT HIFI CHILEIK BLIJS FETELFED DO FERRE** ROOP **RUTIED SPECIAL 0000 0000 LIBRARY STACK LEFEL HD HE DELIVERY SPACE FEB ETTE DELIT of the William W.

A state owned and controlled university with an approximate enrollment of three thousand students. The library was erected in 1929 at a cost of $625,000, including equipment. Undergraduate quarters are confined to the main floor. All reserve books are used in the reading room to the left of the main entrance, which seats 160 readers and shelves 4,000 volumes. To the right is a departmental library for Education, with a Commerce reading room adjacent. The order department has quarters on this floor to the right of the stacks, and offices for the librarian, assistant librarian, and sec- retary are to the left. The main reading room and de- livery hall are on the second floor, as is also the work room for the catalog department located directly above the order department. The third floor contains eleven seminar rooms. The Rural Social Economics department supporting a specialized library, is housed in the base- ment with the reading room of the North Carolina collec- tion, the library extension department, janitor's room, receiving room, library instruction class room, and lounge room for the staff. The stacks stand at the rear of the building, nine tiers in height (82' by 36') with a total capacity of 450,000 volumes. Carrels line the walls on each floor. An automatic elevator has been in- stalled in the stacks, and also a Snead Book distributor. 17- The best features of this building are the plac- ing of the reserve reading rooms on the entrance floor, and the minimum amount of space in the corridors. There are, however, five stairways in the building including the stairs in the stacks. Considering their close prox- wa.st- imity to each other, this seems quite unnecessary ing space and adding to construction costs. Fully one- fourth of the space in the reading room is occupied by the rotunda under the dome, and apparently wasted so far as providing reading space. The periodical room seems much to small. The administrative offices and work rooms being separated would certainly be inconvenient and un- satisfactory for the staff. The light courts with sky- lights are a very objectionable feature.

A coeducational university with an approximate enrollment of sixty-four hundred students. The Charles Deering Library, designed by James Gamble Rogers, Inc., was erected on the Evanston compus in 1932. The building is entered on the ground level, with a coat room directly opposite the entrance, and stairs on either side. On the first floor are two reserve book rooms for the liberal arts college so arranged as to care for open and closed reserves, a reading room for the school of commerce students, and five seminars. Addition- al seminar rooms, toilets and staff roms are located in the basement. Two flights of stairs lead from the main floor to the second floor, where is located the delivery hall, containing the delivery desk and the public orta- log. The work rooms are located on the south side of this floor, and administrative offices and periodical room on the north side. The main reading room, seating 20% readers, is also on this floor. Both ends are cut off by a series of double-faced book cases, segregating two spaces, each 34 by 35'. One is known as the rare book room, and the other the browsing room. The stacks, in the rear of the building, have a book capacity of vol- umes, and contain eighty-four carrels. A unique feature of this building is the gal- lery in the catalog room which adjoins the stacks. Here 21. is located the depository catalog, where it is accessible and yet not occupying much space. On the whole, this is a quite well planned building. The coat room on first floor is convenient and utilizes space not especially valuable for other purposes. The reserve roome are con- veniently located on the first floor. Definite provision has been made in the basement for the shelving of news- papers, outigde of the regular stacks, and tables are veniently located in this room, near the windows, for con- sulting the papers. The periodical room is contiguous to the main reading room. The receiving room, in the base- ment, is well placed in connection with the cataloging room. The main criticism to be made of this building is that of having the reading room face the west, with a meagre amount of light coming from the north and the south. The attendant in the closed reserve room has con- siderable distance to walk through an office, back into the stacks to secure reserve books. The reference librar- ian also must needs walk quite far to the stacks because of the location of the desk, and also because of the wide corridor space adjoining the delivery hall. The rarE book room and browsing room appear stiff, and it has been found necessary to close them because of supervision costs.

A privately controlled university with a col- lege of arts and sciences, composed of a college for men and a college for women on separate campuses, a school of music, a school of medicine and dentistry, and a school of nursing, with an approximate enrollment of two thou- sand students. The Rush Rhees Library, erected on the campue of the college for men in 1930, was designed by Philip Merz of the Gordon and Kaelber staff of Rochester. It has a frontage of 185 feet and a depth of 188 feet to the rear of the stack tower which rises to a height of 186 feet above the quadrangle level. A browsing room (71 1 by 42') lies to the left of the entrance, and a reserve book room accommodating 130 readers and shelving 7,000 volumes, to the right. Additional rooms on this floor are coat rooms, rest rooms, a lecture room accommodating 150 people, and space for expansion of the reserve read- ing room. The second floor contains the main reading room (42 by 110') seating 220 readers, and shelving 20,000 volumes on open shelves. A bibliographical room (35 by 421) providing shelf space for 3,000 volumes, is at the south end of the main reading room, and at the other end is the smoking room of similar dimensions. periodical room (281 by 64') with shelf capacity for 10,000 volumes adjoins the bibliographical room. Admin- A 25 . * istrative offices and work rooms are on the north side of the building. The basement contains the newspaper room, bindery, service quarters, receiving room, and storage. Seminars and staff lounge are on the third floor, and provision for future seminars has been made on the fourth floor.

This is a quite well planned building, with def- inite provision made for future expansion. The space and arrangement of the work rooms seems quite satisfactory. My chief criticism would be that the delivery hall is too wide causing more steps for the reference librarian. The three skylights are also an objectionable feature. are expensive to maintain in good condition and add to the heating cost.

Austin, Texas. A coeducational state university with an enroll- ment totalling some seven thousand students. The library building, designed by Mr. Cass Gil- bert of New York, was erected in 1911, at an approximate cost of $280,000. The outside dimensions of the building are::main portion 48' by 126', extension 63' by 20'. There are three entrances to the building. A large read- ing rooms runs across the entire front of the second floor with the stacks projecting in the rear. The libra- rian's office is to the right of the delivery hall and cataloging room to the left. The circulation desk opens by one desk into the stair hall for outside loans and by another into the reading room for reserve books and for supervision. Ked 1 The ground floor provides considerable unnec- essary corridor space, and the elaborate stairway is also wasteful of space. The traffic area in front of the cir- culation desk seems rather small, and the desk is quite far removed from the stacks. The separation of the ac- cession and cataloging rooms is also an objectionable feature. Expansion of the whole building is limited. - 30 - -31- !

Illinois. Rock Island, A coeducational, denominational institution com- posed of a liberal arts college and a theological seminary, with an approximate enrollment of some six hundred students. The Denkmann Memorial Library, designed by Pat- ton and Miller of Chicago, was erected in 1910. The main part of the building is 120 feet in length with a depth of 95 feet. On the first floor are the administrative of- fices of the institution, a lecture hall, committee rooms and cloak rooms. Two stairways lead to the floor above, where is located the reading room (116' by 48') seating 220 readers. At one end of the room is space for the ref- erence collection, and at the other cases for periodicals. Apparently the loan desk attendant also supervises the reference room. Located in the center of the building, the loan desk is provided with natural light by a sky- light. In the rear of the delivery space are two exits one leading to the work rooms, and the other into the stacks. Eight seminar rooms, an unpacking room, and rest rooms are located in the basement. On the third floor provision is made for a museum over the reading room, and in the rear over the stacks storage space is provided. It is unfortunate that this building must be S · 32 - used for administrative quarters and not devoted solely to library purposes. Carrying stacks above rooms is an expensive proposition which should be avoided. The cat- aloging room is conveniently placed, adjoining the li- brarian's office, and adjacent to the stacks, but expan- sion of it seems impossible. I do not like the placing of the tables in the reading room, ruming them in two different directions. ¡ 2. - 33 - 3 mutta kun beta cut out a a de HE DRGR VAULT VAULT Room SEMINAR ROOM C GIRL' RETIRING ROOM FAN ROOM II SECRETARY & VAULT TREASURER OFFICE GENERAL SEMINAR (=33 == ===3 FUTURE STACKS !!! ビニー ​===3 33 $ OFFICE PRESIDENTY OFFICE - E SEMINAR STAIR HALL GIRL'S CLOAK!

The architects were Thomas McLaughling and Associates of Ling, Ohio. Ohio. It is situated in the center of the campus, facing the north. On the first floor are two offices or conference rooms, two seminars, a Mennonite history room, and service rooms. On the second floor is This room, 30' located a work room and the reading room. In wall cases by 68', provides space for ninety readers. are shelved reference works and some of the bound periodicals, with closed shelving in lower part of cases to care for current files of periodicals. The delivery desk is set at the entrance leading into the stacks from the second floor. The stacks contain three levels, each shelving 10,000 volumes. Receiving room, janitor's room, storage and vault are placed in the basement below the stacks. It now contains some twelve thousand volumes. Built in the form of a "T", expansion to the structure can easily be provided with construction of wings on either side, and also extension to the stacks in the rear. The building is easily administered. There is an - 37 - ? abundance of closed shelving in offices and work rooms, and the closed shelving in the reading room is extremely useful. The cataloging room is too small. This was diminished by the necessity of adding an extra stairway (fire escape) to meet the regulations of a state fire law. The windows in the should be straight across the top rather than curved. - 38 - ? RECEIVING AND CATALOGING ROOM ENTRY * BOYS TOILET 16' x 6 La Le SEMINAR ROOM 18″ x 12″ 14* SEMINAR ROOM 18* 14.

A central vestibule opens into the delivery hall, with the stack chamber directly behind the loan desk. Provision has been made for seven tiers of stacks with a capacity of 144,000 volumes. The librarian's office, cat- aloging room, and periodical room are on the left of the delivery hall, with the main reading room on the right. the floor above are seminar and exhibit rooms, and a staff room with kitchenette adjoining. The reserve book room, storage, rest and service rooms are in the basement. On The placing of the carrels in the stacks is an excellent feature in this library. The cataloging room is placed directly over the receiving room in the basement, connected by a book lift, and also the stairs are very near. The combined delivery hall and vestibule occupy one-fourth of the ground space on the first floor. It seems to me, this might have been somewhat reduced. In a small library it does not seem advisable to separate the periodical 40 1 room from the reading room. The newspaper storage room in the basement might have been more advantageously placed directly beneath the periodical room, and connected by a book lift. In the reading room we find a circular stair- way leading to the reserve book room directly below. could have been entirely eliminated by placing a stairway in the stack room. The reserve book room while probably used more frequently than the main reading room, is in the basement, and apparently the books are kept on closed reserves. In a college of this size it would seem ad- visable and feasible to have the reserve books on open shelves, or at least the majority of them.

KARGO This seems to be a poorly planned building. A considerable amount of space is wasted on the first floor in the corridor.

Architectural plan- - 43 - ¿ C would cause the light to be too excessive and glaring at times. The delivery desk, while placed conveniently near the stacks, is at the end of a long reading room. No doubt the person in charge of the delivery desk also su- pervises the reading room. This would be more or less difficult being at one end. In a small library it un- doubtedly would be more convenient to have the cataloging room and librarian's office on the same floor. : S 44 BROK تصرف 1000 ☐ ☐ ☐ ☐ Re ☐ ☐ ☐ ☐☐ 0 0 O -83 PO SECOND FLOOR Seminar & · Seminal FIRST FLOOR PLAN SEALA In Yang meragu CZNO Tacuary Room ANJAY JOL #1].

It houses not only the library, but the president's office and the board room occupy a part of the second floor, and the art department is assigned on end of the building with a sep- arate entrance. There are five tiers of stacks in the rear of the building, and also additional stacks in the basement, beneath the entrance vestibule and delivery hall. The reading room and periodical room open on either side of the circulation desk. In addition to the exhibi- tion room, president's office and board room on second floor, there is an "administrative library", and four seminar rooms. The librarian's office is to the right of the entrance, and an office for the attendant in the periodical room is to the left. A receiving room is lo- cated in the first tier of stacks, and directly above is the cataloging room. In the basement provision is made for toilets, two seminars and a browsing room. S This is a poorly planned building, partially due to the fact that it serves as administrative quarters - 46 - : and art rooms in addition to housing the library. The librarian's office is far removed from circulation desk and stacks, and the cataloging work room is on another floor. There can be no supervision of the reading room with readers concealed in the alcoves. The round circu- lation desk definitely limits the working space in the for rear.

A coeducational, privately endowed liberal arts college, with a student enrollment approximating six hundred. The Henry H. Seymour Library, erected in 1928, is in the form of the letter T. The entrance hall leads into a lobby (301 by 29'). To the right an exhibition hall (7' by 50') serves as a corridor to the staff of- fices and work rooms, a newspaper study (10 by 231) and a newspaper storage room (13' by 201). A shipping room (17' by 141) work room (15' by 191) art room (19' by 21') and toilets are to the left of the lobby. The stack room (28 by 48') is in the rear of the building. It is three leveals high and has a capacity of 50,000 volumes. On the second floor is the main reading room (66' by 301) seating 84 readers, with a small alcove adjoining used as a periodical reading room. The circulation desk is 10- cated in the lobby on this floor. Three rooms for special collections and an office occupy the left wing of this floor. In a library of this size there is no excuse for separating the work rooms and having them so far distant from each other. Supervision of the periodical room is impossible, being secluded in an alcove at the - 49 - Pagorta keisti la end of the reading room. The entrance to the reading room at the end is also an objectionable feature.

The library, erected in 1929, was designed by Stanhope, Johnson and Brannon, local architects, with Mr. E. F. Tilton, consulting architect. There are three en- trances to this building with the front entrance a floor lower than the main service floor, the structure being erected on ground sloping toward the front. The entrance used by the students is connected with one of the dormi- tories by a colonnade passage. This entrance is into the delivery hall, with the librarian's office and work rooms to the left and the circulation desk to the right. On either side of the delivery hall, are reading rooms, one containing the reference collection, and the other the reserve books on open shelves. Opening from the reference room is a long narrow alcove designed to care for the re- serve collection. It is much too small for this purpose. Therefore, the reserve books have been placed in one of the "reading rooms" and the current periodicals are shelved in the "reserve room". A stairway adjacent to the circulation desk leads to the gallery floor, which looks down upon the delivery hall and reading rooms. Opening from the gallery at the front of the building is a rare book room. Also on this floor is a browsing room, staff lounge and kitchenette. G - 53 - Excellent provision has been made for the staff in this building, and the work room space is quite pleas- ant and adequate. There are an unnecessary number of en- trances. The book stacks are definitely limited and far removed from the circulation desk. The reserve room as stated above soon proved to be too small. - 54 - 55- A STANE PIPE 218 CHASE 2.AT EVEL 16-07 11'-0" SBRICK WALLS TO STAKY PALDY TOP OF CANS STY YARD STORAGE CONC.

A privately controlled, liberal arts undergrad- uate college organized primarily to serve the interests of women, is one of the federated colleges in the Clare- mont plan. The Ella Strong Denison Library, designed by Gordon B. Kaufman, is a T shaped building. Together with equipment it cost approximately $100,000. The entrance is into the reference room from a loggia which connects the building with an academic hall. There is also a small reading room, librarian's office, work room, stacks, and a walled garden for out of door reading included in the plan. The stacks and reading room cases provide space for 50,000 volumes. "Because of the proximity of Scripps to Pomona College, and more especially to the anticipated central research library of the Claremont colleges, the policy of the college favors a small library marked by quality of selection and ease of individual aproach. "1 C of but There is very little reading space provided for in this building the reference room having a capacity thirty-six readers. Supervision of the reference room is next to impossible with the circulation desk so far removed. The only provision for readers is in the nine alcoves. { 1. Larson, J.

A college for women, owned and controlled by several conferences of the Methodist Episcopal Church South, with an annual enrollment of about 250 students. > The Candler Memorial Library was erected in 1917. It is a two story building, Georgian colonial in style. The vestibule on the main floor opens into the reading room, seating 200 readers. One end of the ro CM is given over to periodicals and the other to reference books. The charging desk is directly opposite the en- trance. An iron railing is so placed for all traffic to pass directly in front of the charging desk thus pro- viding a closer supervision of the exit. The librarian's office and work room are directly back of the delivery desk, with stacks located on either side. On the mezan- nine floor directly above the stacks and offices provi- sion has been made for additional stacks. In the base- ment provision has also been made for stacks, and in addition there is a shipping room, toilets, store room, and a future periodical room . The stacks provide space for 50,000 volumes with future stacks to hold 20,000 volumes additional. The library in 1933 had 20,000 volumes. The chief disadvantage of this plan is that of dividing the stacks by inserting the librarian's of- - - 61 fice and work room in the center on the main floor, and the shipping room in the basement. Entrance directly into the main reading room is not desirable, as there is continual confusion in using the reading room as a cor- ridor to the delivery desk. Cutting off the corners of the reading room is quite wasteful of space. 62 - EDULE EMARKS 1000 COLBLOCK PAIRS 00078 (TOILET STALL DOORS) As (986.

Middletown, Connecticut. A liberal arts college for men, non-sectarian, with an enrollment limited to 600, and the freshman class limited to 190. The Olin Memorial Library, designed by McKim, Mead and White, was erected in 1927-28. The building (163' by 641) is three stories high in addition to the basement. The stack room projects from the north side about the axis line 64 feet long by 23 feet wide. The north wall is so constructed that it may be removed in order to provide for additional stack space. The en- trance to the building is through the Olin Memorial Hall (601 by 30') with the charging desk and card catalog directly opposite. The delivery desk is adjacent to the stack entrance. To the left of the memorial hall is the reading room (601 by 32') providing space for 72 readers, a small periodical room, and a room of the same size as an office for the reference librarian. The librarian's office, work rooms, and stairway are to the right of the entrance hall. On the second floor there is a small room for maps, another for special collection of Wesleyana, a browsing room, and a treasure room. Three galleries on the third floor provide facilities for art exhibitions. On this floor are also located a number of seminars. The stacks are seven tiers in height with a book capacity of 300,000 volumes, and on each floor are seven carrels - 65 - PANT placed along the north wall. In the basement there is provision for an additional reading, toilets, storage, typewriting room, bindery and receiving room. The good features of this building are the car- rels in the stacks, the typewriting room in the basement and the receiving room placed directly beneath the cata- loging room connected by a booklift. A salient bad point is the memorial feature of the entrance hall, occupying a large part of the first and second floors. This is There is entirely extremely wasteful of valuable space. too much division in the work rooms. The large number of small rooms on the second floor make supervision diffi- cult. Space would have been saved in the stacks if the stairway would have been placed along a wall instead of in the center. The periodical room, although contiguous to the reading room, does not have a door connecting the two; neither is there a door from the reference librarian's office into the reference room. Both, it seems to me, are necessary. - 66 - Video 9 : LOWER READING ROOM UPPER PART SMITH READING ROOM JANITOR TYPE- STING 2 MACMIME.

UNIVERSITY. Cincinnati, Chio. A municipal coeducational university, with an approximate enrollment of four thousand students. The library, designed by Henry Hoke and Charles H. Kuch, and opened in 1930 is a rectangular building, six stories in height. An examination of the floor plans will show that the first floor is not excavated to the full size of the building. It consists of the book stacks and a store room at either end. The main entrance to the building is by a bridge spanning the service driveway and connecting the fourth floor of the building with the top of the retaining wall. "The philosophy of the building is that the entrance floor provides all the facilities needed to serve the hour by hour demands of the under- graduate students."1 To the right of the entrance is the reserve book room for undergraduate students, seating 208 readers, and with a book capacity of 12,000 volumes; to the left is the periodical room seating 130, with pigeon holes around the walls shelving the current numbers of magazines, and at one side of the room are stacks provid- ing space for 30,000 volumes of bound periodicals. Pro- vision has been made at the rear of the periodical room to care for a browsing collection of books. On the fifth 1. Henry Henry, E. A. University of Cincinnati's new library.

Two graduate reading rooms and faculty studies are located on the sixth floor. In all there are a total of seven graduate reading rooms on the various floors and quite a number of faculty studies. The building provides space for 1,000 readers. stacks, below the entrance floor, are six tiers high, with a book capacity of 600,000 volumes. The delivery desk is connected with the stacks by pneumatic tubes for call slips, a Snead conveyor for books, and an elevator for trucks and people. This is a rather unusual plan because of the contour of the site, and the building has quite a number of commendable features. The reference librarian has an office opening into the reference room and the public cat- alog room, making her easily accessible to students. The reference room on the fifth floor is sufficiently distant from the stairs that noises should not disturb the read- The periodical room with provision for shelving a large number of bound magazines is a noteworthy feature. It is possible to enter the stacks on any floor level the stack doors being equipped with electric latches con- trolled from the librarian's desk.

Ample provision has been made for graduate students in departmental rooms, however, due to lack of funds it has been found necessary to close two of these rooms. The building seems to be unnecessarily cut up into many small rooms. The L shaped reserve book room for undergraduates is definitely divided, making super- vision difficult with two exits. There circulation desk and work rooms are one full story removed from the stacks. This will not permit any paging of books from the circulation desk. The catalog and acquisition de- partments are separated by the bibliography room, there- by making a fixed location for each. - 71 - TITL AVINAR, ROOM GRADUATE READING ROOM. · MATHEMATICS FIFT LAMMAR 10*X Marki Fly H KIADING ROOM.

Emory University, Georgia. A coeducational university controlled by the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, with colleges of lib- eral arts, business administration, theology, medicine, law, library science, and graduate, and having a total enrollment of about fifteen hundred students. The first unit of the library building was erected in 1925 at a cost of $400,000, and planned for future extension at an ultimate cost of approximately one million dollars. It was designed by Edward L. Tilton with Ivy and Crook, Associates, superintending the con- struction. The building is of rectangular shape, cover- ing a ground area of 170 feet by 75 feet, and rises three stories above the basement. The building is used at present as a combined library and administrative build- ing, with the administrative offices in the basement and on the entrance floor. The three tiers of stacks, with a capacity of 325,000 volumes, are located directly be- neath the reading room. The main reading room (401 by 140') seats 260 readers. At one end there is a large alcove with special shelving for several hundred period- icals. At the opposite end, a similar alcove provides space for the reserve book collection. service will be moved to the floor below now occupied by the museum and university administrators. The seat- ing capacity of the reference room can then be increased Eventually this 1 74 · to 324. The librarian's office, cataloging room, and delivery room are also located on this floor. The li- brary school is housed on the top floor. The arrangement of the library will be some- what improved when the entire building will be used solely for library purposes. The catalog room is far removed from the stacks inasmuch as the latter are lo- cated beneath the reading room and delivery hall, which is a bad feature in itself. There is no direct entrance from the cataloging room to the stacks; the only access being through the delivery hall via a stairway the en- trance of which is supervised at the circulation desk. The main reading room must be used as a corridor to the reserve book room. It would be more convenient if the reserve book room were located nearer the entrance. other objectionable feature is the large skylight.

A state coeducational institution with colleges of arts and sciences, engineering, fine arts, law, admin- istration, medicine, pharmacy, business, and education, with an annual enrollment of some seven thousand students. The library, erected in 1929, is of collegiate Gothic architecture, and is said to be almost an exact replica of the architecture of Christ College, Oxford. Administrative office, work rooms, treasure room, library school quarters, and periodical reading room are on the first floor of the building. The main reading room occu- pies the entire front half of the second floor. Seminars, binding room, and toilets are in the basement. floors of stack, extending from the basement to the roof, are in the rear of the building, providing space for 300,000 volumes. Seven Chowd These floor plans are rather difficult to inter- pret due to insufficient notations. Apparently no pro- vision has been made for carrels in the stacks, and seem- ingly there is inadequate provision for reserve reading. The lobby and corridors occupy entirely too much space, and valuable floor area is wasted in the "treasure room" The work rooms are divided by definite partitions should have been thrown into one large room.

This coeducational institution, was opened in 1859, and now has an annual enrollment of some over thousand students. Birmingham, Alabama. The library, erected in 1923, with a Carnegie grant of $25,000, is a two story building with basement. The entrance opens into the main reading room, with stairs to the second floor located in the vestibule. The libra- rian's office is in a small room on this floor to the right of the charging desk, which is located in the center. Six rows of stacks seemingly all open shelves, are placed direct- ly behind the loan desk. "There is in process of construc- tion," the librarian writes under date of April 25, 1934, "a stack which will house 95,000 volumes. This is being added to the rear of the present building and will be the same height as the building." This building has one advantage in that the books are easily accessible to the students. However, I should say that its disadvantages much outweigh this advantage. It undoubtedly is a building difficult to administer with the vestibule opening directly into the main reading room, and with no supervision of traffic from the second floor. The librarian's office, which no doubt is also used by the cataloger, certainly does not provide adequate working quarters. 1 79 A CHEWK'S 784197 B LIBRARY BUREAU DESA 14 Lobsang RE 719 10 10 Why abs cok 7840 141 Shayat Found 6435 Styrkant 1963 % STERY ō [ Sing twintig test D 10 HAS band P D what's band Type 1640 80 PC. peats the 18 E e at tood Teg Taiས་བསྲང་ [༣བང SSTERT Jokes Chas AND CATHARIN shopat tand HEATHAS THE 130 0 ச Hind Lod a t TO C 0 853 5.3887 Spa 1 . t GEORGE PEABODY COLLEGE FOR TEACHERS.

Across the rear of the building on the floor marked "first story" is one reading room (32' by 117') which will seat about 250 read- On this same floor in the rotunda is the delivery desk which serves for all books desired from the stacks or the reserve shelves directly behind the desk. On this floor there is also provision for the technical processes of the library. The dimensions of the catalog room are 19 feet by 21 feet. On the top floor of the building is the library school, ers. This building seems poorly planned. There is no possible way of expanding the stacks and reading rooms, although at the time the building was erected it was thought that there was ample provision for reading rooms, conference rooms, and seminars. On the ground floor two reading rooms and a combined conference and typing room, with access to the stacks, has been provided for the grad- uate students, however, individual studies or carrels are 81 - ! almost a necessity for research workers. The cataloging Toom seems much too small to serve a library with some 100,000 volumes and is quite far removed from the stacks and from the receiving room. The library school on the top floor of the building seems quite distant from any stack entrance, with no provision for elevator service.

The Buck Memorial Library, erected at an approx- imate cost of $130,000, was opened for use in 1923. It is a modified Gothic structure of rectangular shape with two floors and a basement. The main entrance is on the first floor through a small vestibule into the reading room (37' by 98') which has a seating capacity of 128 readers. The stacks (18 by 22') with a capacity of 40,000 volumes, are located in the rear center of the building. On the right hand side of the stacks, back of the reading room, is the librarian's office (13 by 201) and an adjoining work room (12' by 23'). A memorial (20¹ by 271) is on the left hand side. On the second floor, in addition to the stacks, are four seminar rooms. The basement contains a lecture room (30' by 59') a re- ceiving room (13' by 20') service rooms, and space for storage of government documents. room The entrance leads directly into the reading room, which becomes a corridor to other parts of the building. The stacks are quite small with a capacity of 40,000 volumes, and 1931 the accessions of Illinois Wes- leyan totalled some thirty-five thousand volumes. There P 84 is no apparent provision for any individual study rooms or carrels. The art gallery and lecture room occupy a large part of the basement, which, it seems to me, could well be utilized for library purposes. 1 : : - · 85- * party Buck MEMORIAL LIBRARY Illinois Wesleyan University.

Nu- seum, art gallery, two seminars, two offices, library science class room, map room, and staff lounge occupy the third floor of the building. It is unfortunate that the "Little Theatre" has been placed on the first floor of this building, util- izing space which is valuable for library purposes. The stack area is small and restricted.

From the main entrance, a short flight of stens leads to the delivery hall and the alcove for reserve books. On either side of the delivery hall is a reading room with a seating capacity of 150 readers. The librarian's office adjoins the circulation hall. The stacks are beneath the reading room. A work room, small staff lounge, and toilets are also on this floor. A stairway near the en- trance vestibule ascends to the book tower, three levels in height, with a capacity of 40,000 volumes. Individual desks in the reading room are shown on the floor plans, however, because of expense, tables seating eight were substituted. For expansion it is planned to erect addi- tional units at right angles to the building at the rear forming a court. K Work space as provided for in the building is very limited. It has been found necessary to move the cataloging department down into the receiving room in the - 91 D 1/ Г basement. The librarian's office is glassed but halfway to the ceiling consequently there is no place on this floor for conferences, which certainly must be extremely Access to the stacks is not convenient inconvenient. and it is necessary to go one flight of stairs to secure any book other than reserve.

Washington, D. C. A Catholic university for men, offering courses in arts and sciences, law, music, theology, engineering, with an annual enrollment around fifteen hundred. The John K. Mullen Library completed in 1928, is a hollow square type building, four stories high. In the basement there is provision for a bindery, print shop, shipping, etc. On either side of the four floors of the building are offices, seminar and studies. There is a reading room to the right of the entrance and also one to the left. The stacks begin on the second floor reaching across the rear part of the building and extending up through the fourth floor, with a capacity of 1,000,000 volumes, more than three times the size of the book collection when the building was completed. The reading room is located on the second floor, and opposite the delivery room adjoining the stacks. Librarian's office and work rooms are not discernible from the floor plans. Apparently there is a delivery desk on three floors of the building. This would make unnecessary added administrative expense, and several circulation records a necessity, and they are not situated that the same person could supervise a reading room or exit. The courts are much larger than necessary. On the whole it is a poorly planned building. - 97 A 1111111 I P HIT: WOMENS ROOM 1:1:1: TTT 1. CORRI402 : CORRIDO זיז I COURT EXHIBITION HALL READING ROOM.

A state coeducational institution with some twelve thousand students enrolled. The university library building was dedicated in October 1929. It is a five story, hollow square type of building. The stacks (50' by 115') rising to ten tiers, with a book capacity of 1,000,000 volumes, are in the rear of the building. There are fourteen carrels for graduate students and faculty members on each stack level. Newspaper storage, shipping room, and machinery rooms are in the basement. On either side of the entrance on first floor is a reserve book reading room (45 by 1181). An educational reading room (41' by 81') a classics reading room (38 by 47') a lecture room (241 by 46') the bindery (231 by 35 1/2') three seminars, and service quarters are also on this floor. The main reading room (50' by 300') seating 516 readers is on the second floor, as is also the delivery hall containing the public catalog. The work room (471 by 100') for the catalog and order department, and the director's office are located in the right wing of this floor, and the commerce reading room (47 by 1001) is in the left wing. The third floor provides space for the library school and the English graduate reading room. The fourth floor has several graduate reading rooms, semi- nars, and typing room. 100 · • Liberal provision has been made in this struc- ture for newspaper stacks. The two reserve book rooms are conveniently located on the ground floor. Another commendable feature is the location of all administra- tion offices and work rooms on the same floor as the main reading room. Definite plans have been made for expan- sion of the stacks, however, this will tend to decentral- ize the building. The chief criticism to be made of this library is the extreme distances in the whole building, caused by so much space being utilized in the two light courts. The delivery hall is unnecessarily wide.

Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania. A privately controlled liberal arts college for women with an annual enrollment of about five hundred. The library, erected in 1907, is a hollow-square type of building, having a frontage of 174 feet. The stacks are in the front part of the building, three tiers in height with accommodation for 88,000 volumes. Above the stacks is a reading room with desks for 136 readers, each screened to a height of two feet to secure privacy to the reader. The main part of the building contains the stacks, reference room, reserved book room, new book room, a memorial room, periodical room, librarian's of- fice and cataloging room. The wings of the building, running symmetrically about two hundred feet in length from the north and south ends of the main building, con- tain seminars and professors offices. This building is very much cut up and I doubt if it is adequate to meet the present demands of the in- stitution. The stairway leads directly into the reading room with no provision to cut off the noise. The desks in the reading room are arranged so that the reader must face the windows. There is a small "reference book room", "new book room" and periodical room on the first floor, so sep- arated that probably an attendant is necessary in each room. The stack capacity is limited, and there is appar- ently no way of enlarging the building. 106 E GORE H ܕ GENERAL LECTURE ROOM ܃ ܃ ܆ BADK BOOM!!

The second, third and fourth levels of the stacks have four corner rooms each, used for professor's studies. general reading rooms are on the second floor. One is a reference room where stack books are issued, and the other is a reserve book room with a double tier of steel shelv- ing behind the delivery desk. Each of these rooms seats 112 readers. The second floor also contains the public catalog, librarian's office, work rooms, and a staff rest room. On the third floor are two special reading rooms, each seating 50 readers. One houses the collection of Negro history and literature, and the other is a period- ical room. Smaller rooms on this floor are devoted to K The 113 : Fiskiana", debating and seminar rooms, with a browsing room in the front portion of this floor. Locker rooms and toilets for men and women, supply closets and a shipping room are located on the first floor of the bui ding. It also includes a Carnegie branch library and the quarters of library science school. This is a poorly designed building. The stacks, with light on all four sides, is a distinct disadvantage, inasmuch as recent investigations indicate that natural light is a positive contributor to book deterioration. The position of the stacks above the reading room pre- vents cross currents of service on the same level thereby adding greatly to administrative costs. 1 114 - pom Cansand.

Princeton, New Jersey. A privately controlled university for men with an enrollment of approximately twenty-five hundred students. A new library building for Princeton has been. under discussion and study for sometime, and finally descriptions and plans were supplied by Professor C. R. Morey when he printed "A laboratory library".I He des- cribed this library as a "humanistic-laboratory" offer- ing a method of placing the faculty and students"in ade- quate touch with their books and with each other," so that the student may better realize "the ideal of an adequate- ly educated American." The plans have been drawn to illustrate an idea rather than to actually plan a building. Many fea- tures obviously are not planned by a librarian, for in- stance, the screened partitions dividing the cataloging room, and inadequate provision for administrative offices and for the technical processes of the library. 1.

A privately controlled, coeducational institu- tion, with an enrollment of approximately six hundred. The McFarlin library is a tower type of build- ing, with the stacks rising in the tower from the second floor of the building. The reading is centered in four reading rooms on the first and second floors. The en- trance to the building is in the center leading directly into the delivery hall. Work space for the library staff is located above the delivery hall on the second floor, and the stacks are located above. Machinery rooms, vault, toilets, and locker rooms are provided in the basement. This is a poorly planned building. The tower type of stacks with shat ranges is wasteful of space, and impractical because no floor sufficiently large to re- quire an attendant in itself. The delivery desk is very small, as is also the space allotted for the technical processes of the library. There is a very large browsing room, but no apparent provision for seminars and more intimate study rooms or carrels. 121 +3·5+ 6·0" 9:-5" 4876 5²² +3+ 11 22-24 -2-6-5-6 ISOW *4-29 Cament Hea 776 1-372 DELIVERY Drains PUMP ZOOM.

Morganstown, West Virginia. A state coeducational university, with colleges of law, engineering, agriculture, music, medicine, arts and sciences, with an enrollment of about 2,500 students. The library building, part of which was erected in 1931, is of the sky-scraper type "to allow for conven- ience of service and future expansion."l The exceedingly high price of land adjoining the campus, with a rela- tively small appropriation seemingly determined this type of building. The building (150 by 120') surrounds the main book stack. The first three floors of the stack are 85 feet by 36 feet, the dimensions of the fourth and fifth stacks are 85 feet by 65 feet, making a total of 20,655 square feet for books. On the basement level, same as the lower floor of the stacks, in the rear are located the unpacking, storage and bindery work rooms, and janitor's quarters; at the front are toilet and coat rooms. Ventilating machinery and equipment regulating the steam pipes are on a sub-basement at the south end of the building. At the nath end, midway between first and second book stack levels, are the following rooms: extension service; two rooms for special collections and maps; librarian's office; secretary's office; staff rest room and kitchenette. On the same level at the south end are nine seminar rooms, each seating fifteen to trenty students, with a study adjoining. From fifteen hundred 125- to two thousand books can be shelved in each of the studies. General delivery desk and catalog work room are on the same level as the second floor. At the north end of the building, over the offices and on a level with the third stack level, is the reference room, while at the south end is the reserve book room. Each of When completed these rooms joins with the book stack. the sixth floor of the building will include a gradu- ate reading room, seminars and two rooms for special col- lections, in addition to the periodical room already com- pleted. "The rooms on this level will cut the main book stack into a lower and upper division, as the framework provides for twelve stacks above the graduate reading room, shelving about 700,000 volumes and making a build- ing about one hundred and fifty feet high. The desk for the graduate reading room as planned, will also serve as lending desk for the upper division of book stack floors. A good feature of this plan is the location of the reference librarian's desk immediately adjacent to the stacks, and not far removed from the public catalog. The cataloging room is convenient to the stacks, but pro- hibits horizontal stack expansion. 1. Monangahela West Penn Public Service Co., Dept. of Pub- v 9, no 12, Courtesy and service.

A privately controlled, coeducational univer- sity, with an enrollment figure of about twenty-five hundred students. The library, erected in 1927, was designed by Horace Trumbauer of Philadelphia. It is a tower type In addi- of building constructed in the form of an L. tion to the stacks we find receiving room, newspaper room, smoking room, storage, several offices, vault and "work space for catalogue room" and order department in the basement. A special study room having a seating capacity för for 180 readers, with a treasure room contigucus, are to the right of the main entrance on the first floor. Lead- ing directly back from the entrance is a long, narrow periodical room, and a corridor adjacent leading back to the manuscript room, and two offices. This manuscript room is equipped with cabinets, and is used for storage and as a place for research. The main reading room (26' by 102') seating 176 readers, housing the reference collection on open shelves, is to the right of the stairs on the second floor. Contiguous to it is the general de- livery room (19' by 65') with the office of the reference librarian located at one end, near to the entrance of the card catalog room (18' by 62'). Back of this public catalog room, are four offices, with a narrow corridor leading to the cataloging room. A graduate reading room · 130 - seminars and special study rooms are located on the third floor. The special studies are assigned to instructors holding seminars in the building and to those instructors doing special research work. In the tower are two floors on which are located seminars and special study rooms to be used as are the rooms on the third floor. The stack room has seven stories and is built in the form of the letter L. Each story is served by an elevator, two book lifts, a pneumatic tube station and a telephone. The book capacity of the stacks is set at 400,000 volumes, and it is said that it may be expanded so as to care for 1,000,000 volumes. out. This is a poorly planned building and from the floor plans it is difficult to find any commendable fea- tures. The stacks are not concentrated but quite spread Apparently the carrels are so arranged that there is no passage way between them and the stack ranges. spaces on different floors has been assigned to the cata- loging room both are quite far removed from the stacks as also from the public catalog. A great deal of space has been wasted by the stair hall. The reference desk is at one end of the reference room and not any too well lo- cated in regard to the stacks and the public catalog. It seems to me that the columns in the periodical room would not be desirable, and this room would be more conveniat if located near the reference room. - Two - 131.

Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts A Catholic, privately controlled college for men, with an enrollment of about three thousand students. The new library erected in 1928 was designed by Maginnis and Walsh of Boston. It is a two story "L" shaped building, the larger arm being 231' and the smaller 147'. Stacks, receiving, fan, archive and retiring rooms are in the basement. The stack, The stack, consists of two tiers, with a capacity of 386,000 volumes. The main entrance is on the south side, opening into a lobby, on either side of which are the ladies' and reception rooms. A large assembly hall is temporarily located on this floor, to be used if future needs demand, as a second stack. Periodical and seminar rooms are on the north side of the assembly here. A reading room, 65' by 106', providing for 220 readers, about seven per cent of the enrollment, is situated over the assembly hall, with a delivery desk at the south en- trance, and eight alcoves on either side with small tables to provide accomodation for private study. On the east side of the lobby is a browsing room and on the corresponding west side the librarian's office. Leading from the reading room on the north side are faculty and committee rooms. A commendable feature of this building is the provision for stack expansion, and also the three stack stairs, thereby eliminating many unnecessary steps. The catalog room is conveniently located near the stacks. · 133 - With the exit on the north side of the reading room its supervision is almost impossible, and there would also be inadequate supervision from the desk in the alcoves. There being no corridor all traffic to the faculty and committee rooms must go through the reading room. The reading room is separated from the stacks by one full floor, and apparently the only communication is by an elevator browsing room. There seemingly is no pro- opening into the browsing room. vision for expansion of reading room or work room. The catalog room is in the basement, down two flights of stairs from the librarian's office and reference room and on the opposite side of the building. 134 1 Detailed floor plan of new Boston College Library } LIBRARIAN'S CFFICE LOBBY 47 BROWSING ROOM ARCHIVES PUMP BOOM DESK こ ​Detailed floor plan of new Boston College Library TOILET ROOM MENJ ROOM LOBBY 1 CATALOGUE WORK ROOM ELECT.

Elmira A privately endowed college for women, with an enrollment of approximately five hundred students. This is a four story building (115' by "21) de- signed by Coolidge, Shepley, Bulfinch and Abbott of Bos- ton. A history room and a bound periodical room are on the left hand side of the entrance hall, and the librar- ian's office, catalog room, reference room, and delivery desk to the right. Directly opposite the entrance is a rending room (75′ by 39'). The stairway in the entrance hall leads to the second floor where are located six seminar rooms. On the third floor are two class rooms and a museum room. The ground floor entrance onens in- to a study hall and reading room for torn students, with an adjoining kitchenette and lunchroom. A receiving room and additional stack space are also rovided for in the basement. M A side entrance leading directly into the read- ing room is an undesirable feature of this building. There seems to be no justification for a bound periodi- cal room and history room on the first floor floor - it would have been better to use this entire soace for stacks which would make an area of nearly forty square feet. Evidently there are no stairs connecting the delivery room and the ground floor stacks, making it necessary - 136 - • " to walk across the reading room to a circular stairway which is a bad feature in itself. - 137 - · DIVAMS ROOF UNDER READING ~THIRD FLOOR PLAN~ moor • PART OF ROOM CUPPER READING PART BOOM ~SECOND FLOOR PLAN- $ READ ROOM DO DI LO ~FIRST FLOOR PLAN~ 75-42 es.

An Hebrew institution for the training of Jewish rabbis with an enrollment in 1932-33 of seventy-nine stu- dents. From the entrance vestibule on the first floor one enters into a lobby (201 by 35 1/2'). To the rear of the lobby are four study rooms; to the right two addi- tional studies and a seminar room (16⁰ by 33 1/2'); to the left is the reading room (32 1/2 by 441). The stack room (24 1/2 by 801) contiguous to the reading room, con- tains four tiers of stacks, connected by a stairs and an electric elevator. Very spacious office and workrooms are provided for the library staff on the second floor. The right wing contains the librarian's office (13 1/21 by 12 1/2') with lavatory adjoining, a secretary's of- fice (12 by 17') a storage room and two rooms for special collections. In the left wing, adjoining the stacks, is a room for the head cataloger (18' by 24) and a catalog room (261 by 30'). A bindery, photostat room, service rooms, receiving room, periodical storage room, fan room, staff lounge with kitchenette are provided for in the base- ment. It would seem more desirable to have the admin- istrative and work rooms on the first floor instead of having the study rooms there. The circulation desk evi- K - 140 - dently is in the reading room. For this type of school the lay-out of the building may be satisfactory, but there are points which should be avoided in a college or university library. : 2 : t :.. . .. ! - 141- -147- 101LE 17:4 10" DEEP 36 3.0 W417 © Do ch ELEVATOR MACHINE RM.

Above these are two magazine rooms of the same size, intended for staff use when needed. At the east end of the delivery hall is a The catalog small stair hall. From this, to the south, opens the periodical room, and to the north, opens the reference room which has an alcove arrangement. There is a corres- ponding stair hall at the west end of the delivery hall. On the south it opens into the study hall, and to the north a corridor leads past the general offices to a treasure room. The basement floor being practically above ground has much natural light. Under the delivery hall is a room of the same dimensions with outside en- trances at each end. Here is the reserve book counter " 146 O : with two reading rooms opening from the stair hall at the In the west wing east end, where these books may be used. is located the photostat room, archives, store rooms, bindery, lounge and kitchenette for the staff members. The tower reading room occupies the central part of the second floor. "This, the largest reading room in the building, is intended as a place in which to read for pleasure rather than for marks The room is panelled in Virginia white oak, with bookcases arranged as shallow alcoves, galleries over and a great fireplace at either end." On this floor there are thirty-six seminar and conference rooms in which faculty and students may meet in small groups for informal instruction. The outlay of this building seems to be quite Semi-enclosed carrels are provided for on the good. north side of every floor of the stack, except the lowest. This is a good feature. There is space inside the build- ing to enlarge the stacks by over a third, and it is also possible to and to the north. Working quarters for the staff are all on the same floor, and apparently are quite adequate for some years to come. The catalog and order departments are separated by the stacks and delivery desk this should have been avoided. The building, undoubtedly, is expensive to administer. 1. Goodrich, N. L.

A privately controlled and endowed institution, with a graduate school, liberal arts college, and profes- sional schools of dentistry, law, commerce, accounts and finance, engineering, art and librarianship, having a to- tal enroblment of about three thousand students. The Mary Reed Library designed by Harry James Manning was erected at approximately $400,000, including the equipment. It was opened in 1933. The building has an H floor plan and is four stories high. The south wing on the main floor is occupied by the offices and Treasure room, and above by seminar and conference rooms for faculty. The referance reading room is in the north wing of the main floor, and directly above is the main reading room. The bookstack, together with a broad hall- way, fills the space between the wings. The circulation desk, the card catalog and exhibition cases are located in the hallway. Directly above the hallway in another reading room (130' by 30') termed "American Renaissance" in which are located alcoves of bookcases. About one- third of the stacks have been installed and carrels are to be added at all the western windows in the stacks. The ultimate stack capacity is 400,000 volumes. The reading rooms will accommodate about four hundred readers. The cataloging room is in the book stack directly behind :. · 149 - the circulation desk, halfway between offices and reference room. Provision has been made for expansion to the rear of the building. The order department is advantageously placed near the librarian's office. In the upper half- floor wings are 34 private studies for faculty, and in the lower is space for faculty lounges and special book col- lections. Entrances to the reading rooms are at the ends. This would involve considerable unnecessary steps for the staff. The so-called "supplemental reading rooms" seem very small, but they would probably serve satisfactorily as seminars. The building seems to be considerably cut up, thereby making it expensive to administer. - 150 - pagpapada, gre pa je dala nga as parts, ang gang bang me, plantatge grogate d I ! venec Adam keadaan saa -- 171 201 LECTURE VGIF 650661 5.8-5.67 19:9:30 S 100 2 SIBIRKT.

IOWA. STATE COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE AND MECHANICAL ARTS. Ames, Iowa. A coeducational, lant-grand college, with an annual enrollment of some thirty-five hundred students. The library building erected in 1925, at an ap- proximate cost of $700,000 is an H type of building, consisting of three parallel rectangles, a larger one on each side flanking the central section of the building, the corridor. The first floor contains an assigned read- ing room, with shelf space for 10,000 books; a periodical reading room, several offices, a staff lounge, faculty reading room, and toilets. Immediately at the head of the stairs, on the second floor, in the central rectangle, is the delivery room (42' by 49') with the bibliography room and public catalog at the rear. On this same floor, extending along the whole front of the building, is the main reading room (40 by 160') accommodating 400 read- ers and 18,000 volumes. To the right of the stairs is the stack room (36⁰ by 71') seven tiers high, containing sixty carrels for individual study. The librarian's of- fice, and the catalog and order room are to the rear of the stacks opening upon the bibliography room. The space over the workerooms on the third floor is devoted to sem- inar rooms. The basement includes a receiving room, and living quarters for the janitor besides the necessary ventilating machinery. J · 153 - The reserve reading rooms have been convenient- ly placed near the entrance on the first floor. The bibliography room is well located between the rain read- ing room and the catalog and order department, however, it seems unnecessarily large. Because of the width of the delivery hall the reference librarian has consider- able distance to walk to the stacks. Personally, I would prefer carrels in the stacks to a faculty reading room. - 154 - ! $ 三​〇 ​FACULTY READING ROUM ER EN EĽ OFFICE OFFICE STAFF REST 200M 2014 World's BEST RM.

A privately endowed, non-denominational univer- sity, with a student enrollment of nine thousand. The Edward L. Doheny Jr. Memorial Library, cost- ing $1,100,000, was dedicated and opened for use in the fall of 1932. The entrance to the building leads into a marble rotunda, with the delivery desk of marble directly in front. The reserve reading room (46 by 146') seating 400 students, is in the basement with a reserve stack ad- joining. Provision is also made in the basement for staff rooms, an art lecture room, photostat room, receiv- ing room, and stacks for the housing of government docu- ments, university publications, bound and unbound period- icals. The main reading room (46' by 131') accommodating 400 students, is in the south wing on the first floor. The periodical reading room with a seating capacity of eighty, is separated from the main reading room by a. treasure room (14' by 40′). Administrative offices and work rooms are located throughout the remainder of this floor. Three graduate reading rooms and several seminars and offices occupy the second floor. The stacks are nine tiers in height, providing a book capacity of 500,000 volumes and ninety carrels. Sa The work rooms and administrative offices are arranged in close proximity, and the reference librarian, - 156 - : typist, assistant librarian are conveniently located in quarters adjacent to the main reading room, the map room, the stacks and not far removed from the periodical read- ing room. The whole building seems to me to be need- lessly cut up, especially is this true of the work rooms on the first floor. There is no need of separate stack rooms for congressional documents, university publica- tions, unbound periodicals and bound periodicals. The treasure room is inconveniently located, separating the periodical reading room from the main reading room. There are too few seminars in the building and the cubi- cles on second floor added considerably to construction costs. This building, because of its arrangement, undoubtedly difficult and expensive to supervise. : is - 157 [141] CLUB ROOM Steff KITCHEN DINING REST ROOM I 11 GRESSI MEN HIVE RVICE WOMEN RLCLIVIN .111 H13 385 !!! 1222222222. 7-8 au J-84 COLLA TATAK **** ****** RESERVL • GROUN ******* DELIVERY FOT MALL O НА 1000 00 CURATO FLOOR 000000000000000 SING RO 000 DO ÕÇÕ↓ÛÇÕĮÕÇÕĮÜTÇÜ po ED CHECI Oooo «ggggg!!! ban-đi DAGDAGO DODO ....... ......

Modified U type of building University Kentucky University College Sweet Briar College - 160 - ; ¡ KENTUCKY. UNIVERSITY. Lexington, Kentucky. A state, coeducational institution, with an enrollment of some three thousand students. The library building, completed in 1931, cost- ing $450,000, covers a ground area of 160 feet by 106 feet. It is a four story, modified U type of building. The basement contains receiving room, vault, photostat room, machinery rooms, rest rooms, and a large area for storage. The main entrance to the building is on the first floor, with a reserve book room (36 by 91') on the right, a periodical reading room (36' by 71') on the left and a work room (321 by 35') in the rear. The stacks, in the center rear of the building, cover a ground area of 31 1/2 feet by 67 1/2 feet. Carrels are provided on all floors of the stacks except in the basement. The left wing of the second floor houses the administrative and working quarters of the library staff. A general reading room (32 by 76') occupies the right wing. A delivery hall is in the center, with a long narrow open shelf room (15' by 90') contiguous. A document room, class room, staff lounge and kitchenette are located in the left wing of the third floor. A reading room and a goodly number of seminar rooms are provided for on the top floor. C The good features of this building are the pro- vision which has been made for the reserve reading room, - 161- *** ** the open shelf reading room, and the excellent accommoda- tions for the staff. It seems to me that the gevaration of the periodical room from the reference floor would not be desirable, and neither do the periodical stacks ad- joining the periodical room seem desirable inasmuch as in a university library bound periodicals are classified according to subject and shelved with the books thus being more accessible. An unnecessarily large amount of space is devoted to the museum lobby, and also to the corridors and delivery hall on the second floor. The work rooms are too much divided. The top floor contains many skylights, expensive to maintain in good condition, and adding to the cost of heating. 162 ゴーギー ​7-01-01 18:31 14:2 LOT 1-***T tattitu 425 14:28 L 6-d ++G + 259 1437 HATE FAG A זיי EXTEND TO 74-33 15-0 EL 1-25-67 This.

Sweet Briar, Virginia. A privately controlled, non-sectarian, liberal arts college for women, with an enrollment in 1933-34 of four hundred and thirteen students. The Mary Helen Cochran Library was completed in the fall of 1929. It is a three story modified U type of building with the two tiers of book stacks in the basement, beneath the main reading room. There are two front entrances to the building one leading into the delivery hall, and the other used chiefly for entrance to the periodical room and browsing room located in the east wing; the librarian's office and the order depart- ment are locat ed in the west wing of this floor, with the main reading room, two stories in height, and a long narrow corridor between.

The new library building erected in 1925, at a cost of about $475,000, including equipment, was de- signed by Layman and Place. It is a three story build- ing of modern renaissance architecture covering a ground area of 195 feet by 110 feet. Three arched doorways open into the main lobby from the front. To the right of the entrance is the reserve book room this together with an adjoining outdoor reading room seats 155 read- On the left side of the entrance is a large room intended to be used in the future as additional space for reserve books. Two class rooms complete the ground floor. The stairway in the center leads to the loan desk and ther main reading room on the second floor. The main read- ing room (125' by 40') shelves about eight thousand vol- umes and provides reading space for 290. The special reading room opens from the east end of this room, and the periodical room from the west end, with further ex- pansion of space for periodicals in the entire west wing of this floor.

Steel stacks of five tiers, connected by an elec- tric elevator, provide space for 225,000 volumes, "with ample ground space at the north for stack expansion. "1 For the Arizona climate it seems to me that the open air reading room would be a good feature. rangement of the periodical reading room and special reading room one at either end of the main reading room is a good idea and simplyfies the arrangement con- siderably. I would think it would be more advisable not to assign seminar rooms to definite subjects as they have done for there then is a tendency to use the room often when not necessary. Also there might be a tendency to collect a permanent collection of books in each thus seg- regating them from the main collection. The delivery desk is definitely limited by the two stair landings. The work rooms are considerably divided and far removed from the public catalogs. In terminology the technical periodicals have been separated from other periodicals. It would seem more advisable to have a technical reading room including the technical books with the technical periodicals. 1. S The ar- J Luttrell, E. University of Arizona library.

A privately controlled liberal arts college for men, with a faculty of seventy-five, and an enroll- ment of about seven hundred students. The Converse Memorial Library, designed by McKim, Mead and White, was erected in 1916-17 at a cost of $250,000. The dimensions of the building are 140' by 100'. The vestibule opens into the delivery space, which occupies the center of the building, and runs up the en- tire height, being lighted by a large skylight. The de- livery space gives access on the north to the main read- ing room, on the east to the stack, and on the south to working quarters for the library staff. The periodical room and a browsing room are also on this floor. The second floor is devoted to special collections and depart- ment rooms, and additional departmental rooms occupy the entire third floor. The staff lounge, receiving room, etc. are located in the basement. The book stacks, six stories in height, have a capacity of 240,000 volumes. A commendable feature of the building is the grouping of librarian's office, bibliography and catalog rooms in close proximity. The elevator is in the stacks conveniently near the cataloger. There is considerable waste space with the delivery room being three stories 178 in height with corridors on the two upper floors. The skylight is also objectionable. The stairway on the left hand side does not permit direct access between the read- ing room and stacks. It seems the periodical room, seat- ing fourteen, and the reading room, seating eighty-four, might well open into each other. The "treasures" would be better housed in the stacks than in a separate room. The stairway in the stacks would be more convenient if placed along the wall. 1 · 179 - POLITICAL JUENOS 1 BLONOMICs EPPER MAT A LABIN he = $11: ·READINO- ·Room. 310 free, no** ST о ་་་་ལས་ UBY о RARE BOOKS TaTa SOSTORY · Ap In EEEE سے ބ THIRD FLOOR PLAN AAT +4 ссс 200000 PERIODICALS .... 770412 •• ROOM ..

Agnes Scott College is a liberal arts undergrad- uate college for women, privately controlled. It is lo- cated in Decatur, Georgia, a town of about fifteen thou- sand population, adjacent to the city of Atlanta. college now has an enrollment of approximately four hun- dred and fifty students. The entrance requirements are high, thereby, to a certain degree, restricting the stu- dent registration. It is definitely planned that the up- per limit of student enrollment will not exceed six hun- dred students in the future. The * Agnes Scott College has need for a new library building. Its present building, a gift of Mr. Andrew Carnegie, erected in 1909, is entirely inadequate. It is filled to capacity and due to its location on the cam- pus and also to its design it is incapable of being en- larged. There is insufficient space for shelving books and also insufficient seating space. Work space for the librarian, cataloger and assistants is entirely too meagre, definitely hindering and retarding the work. The present building has been outgrown. If the library is to continue functioning as "the heart of the institution" the need for a new building is imperative. 2043 193 Ty bag in Overcrowded book shelves in the present build- ing have necessitated the housing of part of the book collection in the science building, chiefly the books in mathematics, astronomy, physics, and chemistry. To pro- vide shelving space for new books it has been necessary to removed some older and less used works from the shelves, pack in boxes and store on the third floor of the admin- istration hall. There is no place in the building to un- pack new books, or prepare periodicals for the bindery This work must be done on the third floor of the adminis- tration building. For the collection housed in the Science build- ing funds are not available to provide for attendants during the entire time the room is open. is impossible to provide attendants for any departmental collections provision must be made to centralize the book collection in one building. Inasmuch as it The argument advanced for the decentralization of the book collection is that by having the departmental books in close proximity to the class room, their use in connection with classes will be facilitated, and will conserve the time of the teacher. Opposing this view there are those who argue that the chief function of the college is to give the stu- dent an education, which is something more than having him 194 } ? accumulate a certain amount of information regarding var- ious subjects in the curriculum. In attempting to de- partmentalize knowledge, to set one subject off from an- other, the real purpose of education is defeated. Strict lines dividing subjects, however, are rapidly breaking down. What is the boundary between biology and chemistry? In psychology a close relationship exists with education, biology and physics. A teacher of literature must con- stantly resort to books on history, philosophy, and fine arts. Repeatedly, one hears the statement from faculty members that books in their collection are of no interest professors. or use to anyone outside of their department. brarians know this familiar delusion on the part of some Granted that they may not frequently be con- sulted, this fact indicates a certain narrowness and lack of intellectual curiosity on the part of members of the other allied departments. Frequently, books in a departmental collection come to be regarded as the property of that department, and borrowers from other departments, both faculty and students, are not welcomed. This is an unfortunate sit- uation which must be guarded against. All 11- In this attempt to formulate a library build- ing program for Agnes Scott College it is necessary to K S ** 195 ask the question as to what are the functions of the 11- li- brary. These functions will be dependent upon the educa- tional objectives of the college. "The purpose which has prevailed at Agnes Scott since its foundation has been to offer the very best educational advantages under positive Christian influences the training and furnishing of the mind in a modern, well-equipped college, and at the same time the formation and development of Christian character and ideals."1 The training of the minds of its students is of a two-fold purpose: first, it involves the ac- quisition of knowledge by the student; and second, train- ing in the process of the acquisition and use of knowl- edge. Librarians should watch the changing aims and functions of higher education very closely, and be pre- pared to modify and enlarge the program of the library in order to support the changing methods of instruction. After a brief consideration of the purpose of the college we may turn to the specific functions of the library in carrying out its part in the educational pro- gram of the college. The specific functions that present themselves are: 1. (1) to acquire, house and make available for use a book collection supplementing the instruc- tional program of the institution; Agnes Scott College, Bulletin Ser 31, no 1. 1934. Decatur, Georgia, 196 (2) to provide the necessary reading and study room facilities; (3) to provide individual studies for the use of students doing special work and also for fac- ulty members; (4) to establish a wider knowledge of the field of books; thereby (5) to aid in developing the reading habit, acquiring knowledge through the independent use of books; (6) to foster a taste for the best in literature; (7) to provide professional literature for the use of faculty and library staff. In order to carry out these functions most ef- fectively it is imperative that certain definite stan- dards for a library building should be fulfilled. The standards set forth by The Advisory Group on College Li- braries of the Carnegie Corporation have been quoted in the Introduction. These, with some modifications, may well be accepted as the standards for a library build- ing at Agnes Scott. It is agreed that the library building should be used solely for library purposes, and that it should be centrally located with respect to other buildings on the campus. It should be fire-resistant with adequate 197 - "" 嗨 ​provision for light and ventilation. Adequate space should be provided for the efficient storage of the book In view of the use now made of the present library building, which seats approximately one-fourth of the student body, it seems advisable that the new li- brary should contain reading space for at least forty per cent of the student body. It is very desirable to provide individual study space in the stacks for use of advanced students and faculty members, and ample provi- sions must be made for the technical processes of the library. The building must be planned for economical administration, therefore, it is imperative that the en- trances and exits to the reading rooms and stacks be so arranged that the building can easily be supervised by Convenience of arrangement is of para- one attendant. mount importance, and should not be sacrificed for ar- collection. chitectural effect. A. Orientation and Site. It is very important that the new library build- ing be centrally located on the campus in relation to oth- er buildings, both existing and proposed. Also, it is im- berm portant that the proposed location permit future growth and expansion, and that the building have quiet surround- HEINTAUREA ings. Two possible sites have been suggested at Agnes Scott. - • 198 - : (1) Between Buttrick Hall and the Bucher Scott Gym- nasium. This is the most central location, however, there is one outstanding disadvantage to this site which out- weighs any advantage. The noises coming from the gymnas- ium during the hours of the day are extremely disturbing, and the library building would be not more than fifty feet from the gymnasium, gymnasium. The athletic field, adjacent to the gymnasium, and located directly to the rear of the proposed library site, would be equally disturbing from the hours of four to six in the afternoon, except during the winter months of December, January and February, as due to the rather moderate climate, comparatively speak- ing, the windows are kept open during the greater portion of the year. This site would provide a frontage of at least 124 feet with 50 feet space on either side between the two existing buildings. In the rear toward the ath- letic field, it is possible to extend the building about 150 feet. A (2) Between Inman Hall and Lowry Science Hall, The advantage of this location lies in the fact that this site would be much quieter than the first one. It seems to me that this should be the decisive factor in choos- ing the location site for our new library building. The frontage provided here has a limit of 100 feet allowing 50 feet on either side between the two present structures. - 199 A minor disadvantage to this location is that it would be about two hundred feet further from the reciation hall than the first mentioned site. In either location it would be possible to place the reading room so that it would have a northern exposure. All distances between any buildings on the campus at Agnes Scott are quite short, so in this respect either location would be equal- ly satisfactory. B. Book Stacks C Capacity and Expansion. In 1914 the library of Agnes Scott had some over five thousand volumes; in 1924 it contained some ten thousand volumes; and in 1934 accessions total ap- proximately twenty-five thousand volumes. On the basis of this data the library more than doubled itself during each of the last two ten-year periods. A considerable part of the increase during the last decennial period was due to the generous aid of the Carnegie Corporation in the grant of $15,000 made in 1929, the expenditure of which was distributed over a period of three years. volumes. Our annual library appropriation for the pur- chase of books and periodicals during the past four years, and for the coming year, is $3,000. Our annual acquisi- tions during this period, exclusive of the books bought with Carnegie funds, have averaged about one thousand - 200 In view of these facts for how large a number of books should the building be planned? In a study made by Mr. Gerould of the growth of certain college libraries of various types figures indicate that the libraries studied had more than quadrupled in size from 1876 to 1908, and that in 1930 they had more than doubled their accessions given in the figures for 1908. Statistics seem to indicate that college libraries double their size in about twenty years. Mr. Gerould further reports a study of the rate of growth of the libraries of a group of colleges made by Professor C. N. Haskins, who con- cludes that "the geometric law of increase is a reason- able basis for the prediction of the growth of American college and university libraries over periods of from n2 fifty to one hundred years. Y In estimating the required book capacity actual provision must be made from the outset for at least twen- ty years. To the present book colle ction of 25,000 volumes we may assume that there will be added 20,000 volumes, based on an annual acquisition of 1,000 volumes, making a total of 45,000 volumes in 1954. Further it is necessary to make allowance for oversize books, pro- portion of empty spaces needed for immediate placing of new books in their order, and proportion of empty spaces for convenient arrangement of classes. In view of these G 2. Gerould, J. T. 2, J. T. The college library building, its planning and equipment. N.Y., Scribner's, 1932. p.33. - 201 facts and of the crowded condition of our present build- ing, provision should be made for 75,000 volumes. Further the building should be so designed from the beginning that an addition for expansion to 150,000 volumes can be made to the building which will neither lessen its efficiency nor injure its design. In order to provide for future ex- pansion the stack must be located in the rear where it can be easily expanded. In estimating the required area for stacks Mr. Gerould's figure of fifteen volumes per square foot of floor area, including space occupied by aisles, elevators and staircases, has been taken as a basis. For a collec- tion of 75,000 volumes there should be not more than five tiers of stacks. Each floor would shelve 15,000 volumes. Applying the formula of 15,00 volumes per square foot of floor area, it is evident that 1,000 square feet will be necessary, or a space approximately 1,000 square feet will be necessary, or a space approximately 30 by 35 feet. In order to provide facilities for individual study in the stacks for the use of advanced students and faculty members there should be a minimum of forty car- rels, each containing not less than twenty square feet. These carrels should be located near the window wall on at least three floors of the stack. In order to provide space for the carrels the dimensions of the stacks should increased to 35 by 40 feet. J ་ - 202 Whe, and It is desirable that the stacks be a solid ex- tending horizontally rather than vertically, with individ- ual carrels located near the window walls. This form of stack is cheaper to construct than a tower, inasmuch as it reduces the square footage of enclosing walls; it al- lows for expansion horizontally; it provides for a more direct and convenient access to the books from the circu- lation desk and main reading room with a minimum amount of walking; and it allows for a closer supervision and better administrative control where the stacks are open to the entire student body. * Ventilation in the stacks is a very important item to be considered, and recent tests indicate the de- sirability of treating each tier as a separate unit. The accepted distance to be allowed in the stacks from one deck floor to the next deck floor is 7 1/2 feet. Natural light causes paper and bindings to de- teriorate; therefore, it is better to resort to artifi- cial light in the stacks. auc freuder At present, Agnes Scott College possesses no so-called treasures, and it does not seem necessary to set aside a room for this purpose. It would, however → be advisable to provide some space in the stacks where any eventual treasures might be stored. For this purpose a small part of the stack, on either an upper or lower • 203 tier, might well be segregated in a locked iron cage. A collection of college memorabilia could be cared for in the same manner. Provision should be made in the stacks for the installation of an elevator, even though its cost at the time of building may seem to be prohibitive in view of the fact that three tiers of stacks will house the col- lection for some years. An electric book-lift should be installed in the stacks either in the centre of the stack or near to the circulation desk. C. Delivery Hall, Circulation Desk, Public Catalog, Coat Room. The main delivery hall should be adequate to provide space for the charging desk and the card catalog, and sufficiently large to allow for the easy moving of traffic from the entrance vestibule to the reading rooms The stairs to the basement and the second floor would lead off from this hall. It would serve as a corridor to the reference reading room, the reserve book room, and the work rooms. At the least, 1,000 square feet should be allowed for the delivery hall. Figuring on a ceiling 10 1/2 feet high, there should be an allowed cubage of 10,750 cubic feet. and stacks. Being centrally located in the building it 204 probably will be impossible to provide the delivery hall with natural light from windows, and with the advance continually being made on systems of artificial lighting there is no reason to attempt to bring in natural light from above. It is wiser and more economical to rely solely on artificial illumination. Skylights are diffi- cult to maintain in weatherproof condition as the expan- sion and contraction of glass causes breakage and leaks, and they also make a building more expensive to heat. The central point between the storage, the ser- vice of books and the general use of books, in reading rooms or for home circulation, is the circulation desk. The circulation desk attendant will be responsible not only for the loan of books and their discharge, but for the control of the stack entrance, and also for super- vision over the main reading room. Provision for work- ing agrea behind the desk should be generous allowing space for trucks, and for several more assistants than are now needed to handle the work. "This should be done by lengthening the desk, rather than by increasing the distance between it and the entrance to the stack, which should not be more than ten to twelve feet. The desk should be rectangular and not less than twelve feet in length, nor more than thirty inches in width. The plac- ing and arrangement of the desk similar to that at At- 3. Ibid. p.56. · 205 - #3 7. The space lanta University would well serve our needs. unobstructed. directly in front of the circulation desk must be left Provision for the card catalog, and for a table to be used when consulting the card trays should be made on one side of the desk. We would need four 60-tray catalog units; other equipment necessary in the delivery hall are built-in wall display cases, two double-face display cases with bulletin board and at least six chairs. A public coat room should be near the entrance of the building. It will be unsightly, but if not pro- vided coats and umbrellas will be carried to the read- ing rooms. Therefore, a coat room seems to be a "neces- sary nuisance". Either the arrangement at Northwestern University or at Atlanta University would be satisfac- tory. D. Reading Rooms, Conference Rooms Seminars. > In the reading rooms space must be provided for students using reserve books, for those using their own books, and occasionally consulting reference mater- ial, for those using books from the stacks, for readers of newspapers and periodicals, and for cultural and recreational reading. With an upper limit of registration at Agnes Scott set at six hundred, and with no other provision on 206 1 campus for study or reading rooms it is desirable that accommodations in the reading rooms should be made to seat at the least forty per cent of the student body, or a total of 240 readers. In deciding on the number of reading rooms to be provided the various types of services to be rendered must be considered as well as the number of assistants necessary to control the rooms. Each separate room will demand supervision and, at the least, one attendant. - The reserve books are the most used books in our library. For this reason the room housing this col- lection should be easily accessible and as near the en- trance as possible. At Agnes Scott the reserves now Ada average some twenty-five thousand volumes, and the num- ber would be larger if there were more shelf space avail- able. It is a collection which grows from year. This reserve colle ction should be shelved on open shelves, easily accessible to the students. The books being used for short periods during the day, circulating outside of the library only overnight, will necessitate a close supervision of the exit. The charging of books for over- night use will be cared for at the main charging desk, but using a much more simple method for record of the loans. The room should be so located that it can be su- pervised by the attendant at the main charging desk, who will control the exit and entrance. For this service it --- 207 would seem desirable to provide seating space for 150 readers, and book cases around the walls to shelve 6,000 reserve books. Allowing floor space for each reader of twenty-five square feet, this room should con- tain 3,750 square feet. Figuring for a ceiling of 21 1/2 feet (the height of three tiers of stacks) the room would contain 78,750 cubic feet. In estimating the number of tables needed for 150 students, 2 1/2 feet should be allowed for each reader, and the tables should be 4'4" in width. It is preferable to use a long table extending across the room, rather than shorter tables with a central aisle. It is more important to have extra space in the side aisles for the consultation of books on the shelves, than a central aisle, where traffic is disturbing. Traffic along the side aisles is less disturbing and less noticeable. In addition to the tables 150 com- fortable reading chairs are necessary for this room. Built-in wall book cases such as are found at the Uni- versity of Rochester are desirable. Reference work in a liberal arts undergradu- ate college is quite limited, however, it is not de- sirable to shelve the reference collection with the reserve books, since in the case of the former circu- lation for use outside of the room is restricted, and reserve books may circulate for overnight use. It S J 208 J seems preferable to combine the reference and period- ical room, providing space for this latter service in one end of the room, and furnishing it with some con- fortable chairs. This room should not be far removed from the stacks, and should adjoin the librarian's office, inasmuch as the reference work is handled by the 11- brarian. Provision should be made in this combined reference and periodical room for 75 readers. Allow- ing 25 square feet per reader the room should contain 1,875 square feet. The necessary furniture is tables and chairs for 75 readers, display racks for 250 current periodi- cals, adjustable wall shelving for 3,000 reference books, and small built-in closed compartments, as is found in the periodical room at Rochester University, to care for the unbound periodical files. A recreational or cultural reading room does not seem essential in a library of the type that is be- ing planned, inasmuch as the book collection is small, and the students have access to the entire library. There is, however, a demand on the part of both faculty students at Agnes Scott for a so-called "browsing room". This room should be located on the top floor of the building where there would be the least possible dis- T 209- "1 • turbances. It would not require supervision, however, the exit would necessarily need to be controlled from the main delivery desk. There is no definite amount of space neces- sarily required for this type of room, however, since it probably would be advisable to place the room above the delivery hall and work rooms where the ceilings are lower than in the reading rooms, a space of 2,000 square feet would be available. Comfortable chairs, reading tables, floor lamps, and wall cases shelving 2,000 volumes would be the desirable furniture for this room. A necessary convenience, which would provide for group study and conferences, thereby eliminating much conversation in the reading rooms, are consulta- tion rooms, two or more in number. Each of these rooms should have an area of not more than 100 square feet. They should be contiguous to the reserve book room, but separated from it by a glass partition. As a preven- tion of noise sound-absorbing materials should be used on the ceiling and on the wall. In each of these Ceiling v rooms there should be a table 3 by 5 feet and four chairs. There is an increasing tendency in education- al circles to introduce into the junior and senior 210 years of the curriculum, methods of independent study, closely akin to the methods used in graduate work. For this it is desirable that students have some place to assemble and retain material while a definite problem is being studied. This is impossible in a large read- ing room. For this purpose the plans should include three seminar rooms, having a combined area of 900 square feet, These rooms should be of different size one containing 400 square feet, another 300 square feet, and the third 200 square feet. The rooms should be rectangular not more than 12 feet in width which would allow for a table five feet wide. In addition to a table and chairs each room should be equipped with book shelves to care for books being used by the stu- dents, but the rooms should not contain any permanent colle ction of books. E. Administrative Office and Work Rooms. — Adequate provision must be made for the ad- ministrative and technical processes of the library. The librarian's office should be adjacent to the refer- ence and periodical room, and connect with the catalog- ing room. It should contain an area of at least 200 square feet. The necessary furniture and equipment for this office would be three vertical file cabinets, flat-top desk with a high backed revolving chair, a 211 table 3 by 6 feet, four chairs, one 30-tray unit for order cards, a typewriter desk and chair. Wall cases shelving 600 volumes, and in addition some shelving with locked doors should be included. A toilet should adjoin the librarian's office. A combined cataloging and bibliographical room, containing 800 square feet, should be contiguous to the librarian's office and conveniently near the public catalog, and the stacks. It may be found de- sirable to separate the cataloging workroom from the bibliographical room with book cases, thus giving the cataloger some privacy, and at the same time making the bibliographical tools available to both staff and faculty. Book cases shelving 2,000 volumes should be provided for in this workroom, and also a flat top desk with revolving chair, a typewriting table and chair, two work tables each three by six feet, and six chairs. Pro- vision should be made for a coat closet and a toilet ad- joining the work room. A supply closet is an absolute necessity in any library workroom. This should contain not less than twenty square feet. F. Receiving room, Typing room, Janitor's room, etc. The receiving room should be adjacent to the stack with an opening into the stack, and located direct- 212 ly beneath the catalog room. An electric booklift should be provided from the receiving room to the cat- alog room. An area of 500 square feet should be al- lowed for this room. Wall shelving for at least 1,000 volumes should be installed. A work table 31 by 8' and four chairs would be the only needed furniture. closet adjoining provision should be made for storage of boxes, furniture, etc. C In a A typing room, containing 200 square feet, is Apes essential for students who desire to copy passes from Furni- library books having a restricted circulation. ture necessary for this room would be four typewriter tables and four chairs - the students would use their own typewriters. gun A janitor's room, containing 100 square feet, providing space for mops, brooms, supplies and other equipment, is necessary in the basement. A janitor's sink should be installed here, and also one on each other floor of the building. A toilet for women should contain at least 200 square feet, and a toilet for men containing 25 square feet should be installed in the basement. For a staff room, lounge and kitchenette an area of 150 square feet would be adequate. The lounge should contain several comfortable chairs, a couch and 213 • a small table. An equipped kitchenette could be placed in a small alcove adjoining the lounge. ** There would be a remaining area in the base- ment of 5,950 square feet. Part of this space would be necessary for the machinery rooms for elevator and ven- tilating apparatus, and the remainder would be neces- sary for storage space. Two 19-foot double-faced stacks for newspapers, 44 inches deep, should be in- stalled in this storage room. G. Lighting, Heating, Ventilating, and Prevention of Noise. Windows in the reading rooms should reach as high as possible toward the ceiling, and should be pro- vided with Venetian blinds. It is unnecessary to pro- vide for natural light in the stacks or at the main de- livery desk. Some satisfactory system of artificial light should be provided for the entire building, with special attention given to the illumination of the cir- culation desk, reading rooms and work rooms. A recent issue of a library periodical is devoted to the subject of library lighting. The whole question of illumina- tion demands a very careful study before any recommen- dations can be made. 4 Heating for the library will be taken care of 4. Library Journal, March 15, 1934, 214 ... from the central heating plant. In regard to the ques- tion of ventilation it is well to consider the recommen- dations of the committee on Ventilation and Heating for the American Library Association: (1) fresh air, free from gases, with temperature, humidity and motion that insure comfort both for the employees and users of the library; (2) humidifying the air for the sake of the people in the library, for the sake of the books, and also for the sake of the furni- ture if it is of wood; (3) elimination, so far as possible, of dust, dirt, and smoke. This last item must be noted especially due to the location of our campus near the Georgia Rail- road. Experiments show conclusively that the deterior- ation of paper is much more rapid where there is too much heat and too little water vapor. This problem has been made the subject of systematic research by A. E. Kimberly and A. L. Emley. The same authors have also made a study of the removal of sulphur dioxide from the air, in which they report the results of the effect of low concentrations of sulphur dioxide on paper, and also 5 5.

Care should be exercised in choosing a type of machinery, which in operation, is the least noisele seless. The floor coverings best suited demand a special study. Attention should necessarily be given to acoustics through the building, thereby eliminating as much noise as possible. 6. BESTEL Nut 65 *YF RI Sexfl PANE ۲. .. கட்ட Kimberly, A.D., and Emley, A.L.
