      What-are
      periodicals?
      Well
      interchangeable
      words
      for
     
     
      periodicals
      are
      magazines
      and
      journals.
      Out
      of
      a
      total
      of
      1200
     
     
      periodicals
      there
      will
      be
      150-200
      less
      next
      year
      because
      of
     
     
      inflation.
      For
      the
      past
      4
      years
      the
      library
      received
      the
      same
     
     
      amount
      of
      money
      in
      their
      budget
      from
      the
      university
      who
     
     
      received
      it
      from
      the
      government.
      However,
      each
      year
     
     
      periodicals
      increase
      on
      an
      average
      of
      12-15%,
      because
      the
     
     
      publisher
      has
      less
      people
      subscribing
      to
      their
      journal
      or
      maga-
     
     
      zine
      forcing
      them
      to
      increase
      their
      prices.
     
    

    
     
      A
      total
      possible
      cut
      of
      30%
      was
      decided
      by
      last
      year
      s'
     
     
      budget
      comittee
      in
      order
      to
      cover
      the
      inflation
      rate.
      “It’s
      not
     
     
      their
      fault,
      it’s
      the
      inflation...”
      was
      expressed
      by
      Mr.
      Dan
     
     
      Savage
      a
      University
      Librarian.
      A
      few
      alternatives
      to
      cut
      the
     
     
      expense
      were
      inter
      library
      loans,
      but
      the
      process
      takes
      about
      a
     
     
      week.
      Another
      was
      electronic
      text
      like
      Internet
      or
      Web
      but
      the
     
     
      only
      problem
      with
      using
      the
      Web
      is
      the
      accuracy
      of
      the
     
     
      information
      -
      since
      there
      are
      no
      laws
      placed
      upon
      factuality
     
     
      toward
      the
      material
      on
      the
      Web.
      “How
      can
      you
      trust
      it”
      was
     
     
      a
      comment
      by
      Mr.
      Savage
      regarding
      the
      web,
      including
      how
     
     
      Web
      pages
      don’t
      have
      any
      back
      issues.
     
    

    
     
      This
      years
      cuts
      included
      eliminating
      a
      secretarial
      posi-
     
     
      tion.
      However
      during
      the
      budget
      meeting
      the
      library
      protested
     
     
      any
      cuts
      made
      to
      the
      collections
      and
      hours
      of
      service.
      On
      the
     
     
      other
      hand
      if
      the
      library
      is
      forced
      to
      make
      another
      30%
      cut
      next
     
     
      year
      these
      protected
      items
      will
      be
      cut.
     
    

    
     
      The
      libraries
      goal
      is
      to
      cancel
      issues
      that
      students
      and
     
     
      faculty
      don’t
      use.
      For
      instance
      they
      are
      considering
      targeting
     
     
      and
      cancelling
      the
      most
      expensive
      publishers
      to
      reduce
      their
     
     
      initial
      cost.
     
    

    
     
      The
      library
      needs
      input
      from
      both
      students
      and
      faculty
     
     
      in
      determining
      what
      the
      library
      should
      keep
      and
      what
      to
      cancel.
     
     
      It
      is
      almost
      impossible
      for
      the
      them
      to
      update
      all
      of
      their
      present
     
     
      subscriptions,
      but
      without
      our
      help
      how
      will
      they
      suit
      our
     
     
      educational
      needs.

      noticed
      we

      universities
      who
     
     
      did
      not
      have
      a
      coat
      of
      arms.
      So
      he
      got
      in
      touch
      with
      David
