Vandals

library
resources
college press EXCHANQE
Many college librarians nationwide
said students are gaining easy access
to information, not from the Internet,
but by using the increasiAgly popular
'rip-and-run" method.
Tearing pages from books, magazines
and journals is an old problem for
libraries but one that seems to have intensified
in these days of hustle and
bustle, when students can't spare more
than five minutes in any one place.
If s not unusual for campus libraries
to spend thousands of dollars each year
to replace damaged materials, said Andrew
Hart, preservation librarian for
the University of North Carolina at
Chapel Hill.
He estimated the university spent
about $2,000 last year to replace vandalized
items.
"We still don't know how much
damage is still sitting on our shelves.
And we won't know until someone
brings it to our attention," he said.
Even worse, he said, is that there
are no guarantees the missing information
is replaceable.
"It's sad because the money we
spend to replace materials is money we
:an't spend on new things," he said.
When books and journals that are
long out of print are damaged, Hart
said, librarians must find other libraries
carrying them.
If they're successful, photocopies
are made, and the entire book is rebound
to hold them in place.
"It's a time-consuming process," he
said. "I think it's really sad that a minority
of readers can have such a big
effect on so many other people."
Damaged reference materials seem
to have the most widespread enect on
students, said David Rodriguez, a librarian
at Glendale Community College
in Arizona.
"When a class gets an assignment,
you have 30 or even 100 kids in
here, and once a student takes a
page, other students miss out," he said.

is transporting the subject home, he

using his nose to turn red. The reonding
officer observed the subject
