MEDICAL CENTER (13) The President of the University, with the concurrence of appropriate administrative officers, recommends employment of Library Management and Building Consultants, Inc. of Glenview, Illinois, in connection with the program planning for the proposed new Library of Medical Sciences. Funds have been appropriated by the Seventy-sixth Illinois General Assembly for complete architectural services for this building project. The estimated fee of $15,400 would provide a revised program statement and would include two reviews of the architectural sketches developed by Holabird & Root, Chicago, architects for the new Library. A program consultant is recommended because of the many recent advancements in the library field, such as increases in the use of audio-visual materials, computerization of information with remote dial access, and new microfilming techniques. The Library will be a major resource to the state of Illinois as programs in the health fields are expanded; and consultation on the program statement is believed necessary to provide continuing operating efficiency and flexibility to accommodate future library innovation. Funds are available from the Medical Center Contract Research Reserve. O n m o t i o n of M r . G r i m e s , t h i s r e c o m m e n d a t i o n w a s a p p r o v e d .
