serves both graduate and under-
graduate students.
“We are the 1*0 comprehen-
sive universities. Oklahoma State
and OU.” Lee said. “The rest of
the institutions are really four-
year institutions, whereas we are
not only four-year but also gradu-
ate as well. Therefore the depth
and breadth of the collection has
to be much wider and deeper than
a four-year institutioh."

Lee said the OU library system rently has approximately 16,000
subscriptions, when an institution
of this size should have approxi-
mately 10,000 more titles.
Other problems faced by the
library are acid decay of books
and the need for continuing edu-
cation for staff members, Lee
said.
Areas in which the OU library
system is doing well include col-
lection size and high technology.
Lee said. The library system has
just exceeded 2 million volumes.
Funding needed, dean says
he said.
OU is connected to two library-
computer networks, including the
Research Library Group. Lee said
that through the research group,
OU students have electronic ac-
cess to university libraries across
the country, including Stanford
and Yale.
"We are the only library in the
Southwest, even Texas is not a
member,” Lee said.
The library also owns a device
called a Kurzweil voice reader,
which reads a book aloud for
blind patrons.
Lee said his goal is to increase
the depth of the library collec-
tions in all subjects.
"The hallmark of a research
institution, which we are,” he
said, “is for scholars and students
to come in and be able to find
material that they are looking for
in all subjects."
