Fake Names Cause Reserve Book Problem
The problem of students signing fake names on library call slips has been a pertinent one for the library system.
The only solution to this problem Mr. Forth felt, was to demand student identification. We try not to refuse a book to a student if he is without his ID card. The library attendants can check the student directory, ask to see his driver's license, or call the registrar's office.
Stewart Forth, head of the undergraduate library, said, he felt the main reason for students doing this was to keep a particular book within a living group for more than one day.
"This is a much greater problem in the undergraduate library than at the circulation because of the immediate demand for reserve books," Mr. Forth said.
John Nugent, head of the circulation department, said he could recall over five fake names in the seven years he has been with the library.

"Those books which are taken under phony identification are generally returned. Those which are not, seriously hamper succeeding students."
"Starting three weeks before final exams of last semester, there was a rash of phony ID cards. Since then, we have demanded student's full identification." Mr. Forth said.
"We do check ID's very closely, but here we are able to make exceptions due to less demand of the books," he said.
He said the monetary value of the books not returned would be difficult to establish. In many cases, the books are old and to replace them would cost more because many have gone out of print.
