"In two years, the library will move into a new building that is 50 percent larger than the existing one with a doubling of its computing capacity. The College needs to recognize that the expanded capacity and services will require additional staffing ranging from computing and technical personnel to student workers and custodial personnel. Moreover, the new library building underscores the need for the library to participate as a major information service provider in the College-wide technology planning process." Report ... by an Evaluation Team Representing the Commission on Higher Education of the Middle States Association of Colleges and SchoolsAs the College looked toward a multi-million dollar new Library facility for fall 2002, it was essential to build the staffing necessary to deliver a broader array of services, over the course of a significantly longer service week, in a building more than half again as large as the present one. There would be little point in a marvelous new state-of-the-art Library unless its hours, programs, and human resources were fully the equal of the new facility and substantially better than those offered in the old building.
