As this new semester unfolds it seems to
me that more students are using Young Library sooner and in greater numbers
than any previous semester I can recall.
We are seeing similar increased use across the branches.
Perhaps this is due to the larger
incoming class. I suggest that it might also
be the result of UK’s successful recruiting efforts to bring in the smartest,
most talented, and most goal oriented first year class ever. These highly motivated students want to get
started with the college work and there is no better space on the campus for
that to happen than in UK Libraries.
Regardless of the reasons, we are
pleased that UK students find our libraries helpful to their learning and
research. In a conversation this week
with doctoral students in history who have study spaces in Young, they said
they did not know what they would do without the service and the learning
spaces that UK Libraries offers.
