Some people think the McNaughton collection shelved by itself on Level 4, in front of you as you go in the triple doors, is the only pleasure reading we have. But after a few months on those shelves we buy nearly all those books, classify them and put them in the regular stacks, and we've been doing that for many years. For modern American and English fiction, see 813.54 and 823.914. The reason we buy most of the McNaughton books is that they're useful additions to our collection. We buy current fiction because the English Department teaches literature courses that involve it.
Popular nonfiction is often valuable to nonspecialists who want an overview of a subject.
Photocopiers are always out of order. Most of the time, the problem with a copier which isn't working is that it's out of paper. Please report this to Copy Services on Level 3 as soon as you discover it. Someone will refill the machine. We check these several times a day, but if there's still paper when we check, it can be hours before we check again.
