A new blog with an importantant mission

Hello world. I have written a blog previously, and in my last entry I discussed the possible closer of Senate House library. Already, the post has been linked to by lo-fi librarian. Lo-fi has taken the words from a facebook page two students have used, which is as followes:-

“Senate House Library, which just lost £1 million of funding in the recent HEFCE review, is now threatened with closure or takeover unless the University of London college heads decide in December 2008 to increase their current funding. It is vital, however, that the library not only stays open, but continues to be geared towards the needs of all UL students. The total amount the individual colleges of UL will have to invest in their own libraries’ basic holdings if this does not happen, is, clearly, going to be more than that required to keep a soon-to-be-newly refurbished SHL going. The problems of lack of space in the British Library caused by heavy student use, furthermore, will be made worse. This is irresponsible. Even if the University of London’s future is uncertain, a way must be found, at least, to keep the library open and available to all on an equal basis. If not, everyone will lose.”

Anyhow, I hope to talk with the students and support this blog, as I feel Senate house provides an excellent resource to world students, not just London.

So, SAVE SENATE HOUSE.
