Comment by Jerrod Nelms — December 2, 2005
WKU libraries should collaborate with professors campus-wide in order to know which films are going to be required for their respective classes. Then, the Library could have at least two or three copies of each. This would make life easier for both faculty and students.

Thanks for your thoughtful comment and creative proposal to an ongoing problem. In reality, we currently have a mechanism for faculty to collaborate with us and to communicate their library materials needs in the form of new course proposals, library order suggestions, reserve lists and through faculty-librarian communication within our library liaison system. I wish we could order extra copies of movies but given our budgetary situation for library materials, we can’t afford any extra copies of anything. Sorry for any problems that may have caused you.
Best wishes, Jack Montgomery, Collection Services Coordinator.

Please subscribe to In Touch Weekly magazine for leisure reading.
Thank you

Thanks for your suggestion. We have already selected 19 new titles for our Leisure Magazines Collection (Helm 100) for 2006.

We’ll be happy to consider In Touch Weekly next year.

There should be more signs telling you where to look for certain subjects

We are constantly working to make sure the signs in the Helm-Cravens library are up-to-date and accurate. This is not always easy with a collection as dynamic as ours, and if you ever have trouble finding anything, please inquire at one of our service desks. Thank you for your suggestion and interest.
