Clackamas boasts new li

“Elbow room” is just one of
the many features of the new
college library, located in the Dye
Learning Center, said Don Vor­
derstrasse, thé reference and pe­
riodical librarian.
“The old library was so
crowded at midterm and finals,”
said Vorderstrasse. Now there is
“ample space and ways to find
quiet areas,” he said.
The new library has three
seminar rooms, something else
that is new. The rooms are re­
served for group study. “Students
who want to work together can
go in, close the door and study
and communicate,” said Vorder­
strasse. This is especially con­
venient for “math and language
classes and classes where you
have to discuss things and share
ideas,” he said.
Another new addition is the
outside drop box. “Every morn­
ing we have to go and empty it,”
said Vorderstrasse. The old box
was hidden over by the bookstore
and Vorderstrasse thinks the new
location, behind the library, is
much more convenient

students in many ways. He most
commonly answers research
questions and “helps organize
thinking,” he said.
“I really notice the increase
in students,” said Vorderstrasse.
The statistics show that he helps
20 to 25 students a day, where
last year, 15 was a busy day.
Library tours are also given to
groups and classes. The layout of
the new library has helped cut
the tour time from 50 to 20 min­
utes.
The complaint Vorderstrasse
on the
has heard “several times already”
is that there are no typewriters in
the building. “That’s a real loss,”
he said. It was a “constant battle”
to keep them fixed, so even though
they were usually in use, Vorder­
strasse said the library no longer
has them.
The library has “pretty much
the same collection” of books
that it had last year, said Vorder­
strasse,but$10,000 of additional
funds for library resources was
granted this year. He is particu­
larly happy about that.
