Lee Hadden writes ” The Geosciences Library at Virginia Tech will close this summer. This
was one of the three departmental libraries at the university, and was the
only department-level library that was also part of the University Library
system. Budget cuts have doomed the library after 30 years of operation.
Two other branch libraries are located in the College of Architecture and
the College of Veterinary Medicine.
“Unfortunately, operating a library in miniature is also an expensive
proposition, and this closing is part of a clear nationwide trend as
universities re-evaluate how best to allocate limited funds.” Statement of
Edward Lener, College Librarian for the Sciences, taken from: The
Department of Geological Sciences Newsletter, Spring 2003, pages 1 and 7,
“Geological Sciences Branch Library to be Closed.”
