RESEARCH AND CIRCULATION

In addition to the large Research Room on the first floor designed
for the use of the public and the facilities provided on the second floor
for students with special research problems, the small room above the
rear of the Research Room, formerly unfurnished, was equipped this
year for the use of researchers who wish to dictate, to work together or
to typewrite. The new equipment consists of three tables, six chairs, a
typewriter and a cabinet in which those researchers who spend more
than one day may lock their materials over night.

There have been several minor changes in procedure. Only the
leaders of large groups of visitors are asked to register. Before this year

previous year. No accurate check of items circulated was kept previ-
