instead of Communist Party congress descriptions, Works of Stalin etc, buy books that students really need.
ANSWER PERSON RESPONDS: And Answer Person thought Senator Joe was long gone, and that the Cold War was over. Obviously we have some perspective problems here. Like what is the purpose of a major research library at a major research university? To hide information relative to the study of history, politics, economics and sociology? Perhaps the writer thinks we achieve strength through ignorance? Just what are the books “that students really need,” in his/her opinion? Answer Person did a quick review of our holdings, and out of about 5,000,000 volumes, we have a little over 200 books by Stalin, and around 1600 on the “communist party”–far fewer if you limit to “Communist Party congress descriptions.” I guess that means we’ll have to struggle to cover the books “that students really need” with around 4,998,000 titles.
