The growth in usage of the library at Utah Technical College is causing both pleasure and pain. With a 54.9 percent increase vn the number of items borrowed from the library, concern is being voiced. We are delighted, obviously, to have had 43,251 books, magazines and other items checked out du ring 1982, librarian Alex Stecker said. Reflecting the number of people using the library, the gate count totaled 206,629 last year, he said, which is a 17.7 percent gain over the previous year. The tough part, Mr. Stecker laments, is that weve made these incredible gains with slightly less staff. Its no wonder theyre worn out. The library at Utah Tech is open nearly 300 days a year and is accessible to students 13 hours a day. The e staff, including Mr. Stecker, numbers only three on the Redwood Road campus. However, & half-tim- e professional librarian is available during evening hours. We can count on about 700 people a day, the librarian noted. We are space both for student study and book stacks, Mr. Stecker bemoaned, Frankly, we are in a terrible crunch. The student population is growing dramatically. We desperately need to accommodate those who wish to study within the library, and we also need space for additional relevant technical and other volumes to be stacked. At the same time, we realize the financial hardship on all areas of the college and, indeed, the entire state. In terms of numbers of books per e enrolled students, we are quite lacking. And, too, Im concerned about staffing. We need clerical and other help both in the library and media center. Our people are tremendously loyal and dedicated, but use of the library by so many students is very e peodraining on just three ple. Utah Technical College is a institution, and the library is vital and a support to the quality practical instruction given in classrooms and labs. gathering place. Our students evidently come to the library principally to study. Most unfortunately, our seating capacity is often fully allocated. We are turning away as many as 50 or 60 students a day who want to sit down and study in the library itself. Since coming to the college in January, 1981, Mr. Stecker has introduced reforms and change in attitude toward the facility, resulting in a 145 percent increase in checkouts in the two-yeperiod. Besides the traditional library items, the media center division hs provided more than half the student population with television viewing privileges of educational materials on videotape.
