LETTER FROM THE DIRECTOR: U.S. Conn 402-375-7258 Rent or Own? [email protected] It’s a common question that we all face multiple times as we pass through different stages of life: “Should I rent, or should I own?” Odds are, at different times and facing different scenarios, you have used both Inside this issue: options. You have probably rented an apartment, rented (or leased) a car, or subscribed to a service (cable, Netflix, Hulu, etc.) that provided you temporary access to something you wanted or needed. Conversely, ownership From the Director 1 of a house, a car, or a stack of DVDs provides permanent access and increased Topic Spotlight 2 equity, but also some associated costs and a long term commitment that New Academic 2 reduces future flexibility. Much like individuals, also face the rent vs own dilemma. Until the Reserves 3 mid-1990s libraries were almost always “owners”. They bought books, print Citation Resources 3 journals, and other media (VHS tapes!) and added them to their collections. They kept their items in perpetuity, or until they became lost, worn, or Research Guides 3 obsolete. By many historic metrics a library’s value was calculated as the 2019 ALA Awards 4 sum total of its . This is less true in 2019, but the library’s collection still makes up a substantial part of its perceived value to a college campus. New Teaching Aids 5 Ownership of books, videos, and other materials remains part of the WSC New Pop 6 Library’s annual spending plan. Like college libraries everywhere though, we have increasingly become “renters”. To enhance convenience and vastly Embedded Librarian 6 increase holdings we subscribe to database services to provide access to the One Book, One NE 7 vast majority of our journals and other data services. The overwhelming majority of our e-books (over 150,000!) are leased via an annual subscription Google Sch. Links 7 package. While the shift in our spending has occurred gradually, we now Archival Spotlight 8-9 rent far more than we purchase. As my staff and I review this evolution, we do it with some feeling of unease. We know that we are providing substantial Book Exam Ctr 10 immediate value for this year’s students, but we worry that we are doing so at a cost of failing to build equity in our permanent library collection.

As the library staff struggles to build some consensus on finding a proper balance we wish to solicit faculty opinions. We need to better understand instructional needs and priorities. We need to understand what the faculty value most. I have met with the Library Committee, and they advocated for a survey of the faculty. The survey will be short (I promise), and simple to understand (I hope). Please keep an eye out for it. It will be coming to your inbox in April. - DAVE GRABER Library Director

One of the Earliest Photos of the Willow Bowl, 1938

The history of the Willow Bowl is a “long and remarka- ble” one as stated by Here’s News from Wayne State, the alumni newsletter, in the summer of 1977. The pre- history of the Willow Bowl began in 1916 when Dr. S.A. Lutgen, a Wayne physician and surgeon, built a small hospital on the corner of Main and 10th streets. No doc- umentation has so far been found concerning how that came about, but Dr. Lutgen operated his hospital on the location of the future Willow Bowl until 1919 when he built a much larger structure on the other side of Main a An Aerial View of the Campus bit farther south. The old building was moved across 10th Showing the “Artificial Like” c. 1924 street to a location west of where Cup of Grace stands today. Before its razing about 5 years ago, the building served as a book and music store, a luncheonette, and an apartment building. (See the Archival Minute “Book Stores, Inns and Cafes” for the full story): https://www.wsc.edu/download/downloads/id/538/novemb er_2012.pdf During the First World War the government strongly encouraged people to conserve food. Many planted their own gardens. The Wayne State Normal did its part by turning this southwest corner of the campus into a War Garden in 1918.
