Discussions on the matter of length of loan and sanctions against

possible misuse of loans have taken place at several recent meetings of the

Senate Library Committee. Professor R. J. Baker reported to Senate, at

its

meeting on September 23, that the request from the Chairman of Senate relating

to these matters was under review.

I wish to report to Senate that at the meeting of February 14th the

Senate Library Committee passed the following resolutions:

that general loan books will have a common loan period

•

of two weeks for all members of the university community

to commence with the summer semester

that the principle of equivalent sanctions should apply to all

members of the university community who misuse their

Library borrowing privileges

The Senate Library Committee will meet before the end of the

semester, to hear a report from the University Librarian as to how this

principle could best be implemented. This may be simply extending the

present fines system, or by introducing an alternate system of sanctions.

The Library is also considering book pick-.ups in the Academic

Quad and telephone renewals in connection with the new regulations.
