FROM U.W.O NEWS MAY 25, 1967
I
Ground levelling work at the site of the School of Library and Information Science temporary building is now in progress just south of the J.W. Little Memorial Stadium next to the hockey rink. The contract for the prefabricated steel building was awarded to McKay-Cocker Construction Ltd., of London, for $253,292. It is expected the temporary building will be ready for occupancy for the coming academic year. The one-storey, L-shaped structure will include faculty offices, laboratories, demonstration rooms,
a room for a teaching collection rare books, seminar rooms, a storage library, student and faculty lounges, as well as other facilities.
The School of Library and Information Science offers courses leading to the Master’s of Library and Information Science. Dr. Osborn, Dean of the School, estimates there will be 50 full-time and 150 part-time students enroled at the school this year. "Applications are still coming in at the rate of three a day," he said. Dean Osborn said there has been a virtual revolution in the philosophy and technology of library
science techniques during the past decades. He cited the increasing use of computers for classification and circulation, and distance reading machines. Western’s School of Library Science will be equipped with the latest equipment to demonstrate and teach these new techniques.
