Science library hidden but usage, services rise

The science library in Mackit Hall soon will mark its first year in its expanded surroundings, but students are having problems finding the library.
Before expanding, the library had three separate entrances. They are no longer used except as fire exits.
"There is only one entrance," Frances Fischer, associate librarian, said yesterday. "You can get here two different ways. You can take the main stairway or the two elevators in the new addition."
But once KU students have finally found their way, the new library can assist them better than before.
The science library in Malotl was established in 1964. The collection grew along with enrollment and the new library started in 1979, added library space.
"We've just about doubled in everything." said Fischer.
THE AREA IN the library has increased from 12,000 to 26,000 square feet.
"Iin reader capacity we went from 150 readers to a little over 300," Fischer said.
"And while we don't have a complete year yet, month by month, compared with last year, we we've had an increase in usage of 32 percent, give or take a lit
The library, Fischer said, contains a total of 379,570 pieces, including microfilm, microcards, microfiche and 20,000 documents, in addition to the books and periodicals that line the shelves.
"We now have room for growth, at
the way we're going, for maybe four to five years." said Fischer.
Although the library has doubled in space after the recent renovation, books moved to the library from Lippincott Hall and geology materials at Marvin Hall have taken much of the newly available space, Fischer said.
"So now we're pretty full," she said.
"GORDON WISEMAN, professor and astronomy department, said he was pleased with the new library.
"I had to get accustomed to it," he said. "But the final result is much better than what we had."
The library's staff worked with the architect on wall coverings and carpet for the interior. The tables and chairs for the library were refurbished at the state pentagon in Lansing along with furniture from Watson Library.
The science library's older section is newly painted and areas formerly used for offices and the old circulation desk used for stacks and reading areas.
A conference room for meetings and study groups is also available. Another area has been assigned to new students in the school's alphabetical order until they are bound.
THE LIBRARY had also added equipment. A manual typewriter is available for student use. There are microfiche and photocopy machines, searching in periodic databases, two microfilm readers and two photocopiving machines.
"And we have had a vast increase with the on-line computer searches we do." Fischer said.
On-line searches are used to help cut time spent searching through indexes and citations while doing research.
Schol halls offer Sneak Peek
Scholarship hall residents will give the first "Sneak Peek" of their daily activities this weekend to high school seniors and KU students who are considering applying to live in a scholarship hall.
Interested students will stay in the scholarship halls Thursday and Friday nights.
The residents will do their best to give the seniors the inside view of living there, Roger Martin, All Scholarship Hall Council president, said yesterday.
A slide show, guided tour of all eight scholarship halls and an ice cream social will be sponsored by the
scholarship halls for the visitors. Also, the high school students will be encouraged to attend classes with the residents.
"They will become a scholarship hall resident for the two days," Martin said. "We're stressing treating them as if they live here."
Although the overall interest shown for the program disappointed its coordinators, Jeff Huyett, ASHC publicity co-chairman, said it was the best way to win over potential residents. Seventeen students have signed up to stay at the halls' Sneak Peek.
The remodeling of the Malott Science Library has made book checkouts faster and easier.
