Hello everyone,

Thanks to all those who responded to by _brief_ questionnaire. One
of the persons who had replied wanted to know the intention of the
survey. 

Our University has a new policy that does not let students check out
any journal of any kind. The copies are 10 cents each. So I thought
that it was worth noting what other schools do regarding this. I feel
that students should be allowed to check out journals (bounded, at the
least) for a certain period of time. The complaint that the officials
have is huge fines that accumulate due to late journals. Before this
policy was introduced the fine was 1 cent a minute. Students appeal
such huge fines and get them waived invariably. But what they do not
realize is how much more damage will be caused to journals. Since this
policy was introduced I have myself seen atleast 50 pages ripped off
three journals. Is this new policy worth such nuisance?

Cheers,

Muthu
