Expansion[edit]

Can easily be expanded with some history, such as was previously the Kerr Library (anyone with old pics with the ugly metal screens), and expanded to the current size from 1995ish-1998ish, plus obviuosly the original construction time/costs etc. Aboutmovies 20:29, 22 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Special Collections and Archives[edit]

These two have merged. They will both have the same service point by Fall 2012, so sometime after then, the article should list them together as the same entity. Might need some reworking of sources to make it flow well though.ibleedorange14 22:36, 3 June 2012 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ibleedorange14 (talk • contribs)
