Learning Resources Center.
The Furstenberg Center provides
study areas for students; the Learning
Center provides audio-visual equip-
ment such as video cassettes, slides,
and microfilm and microfiche.
ON THE LIBRARY'S third floor,
along with the Learning Center, are two
classrooms, a laboratory demon-
stration room, and instructional com-
puter terminals. Two types of computer
terminals - video terminals and prin-
ters - are distributed among four
rooms.
Both the Furstenberg and Learning
Centers are administrated by the
Medical School, while the rest of the
library is administrated by the Univer-
sity Library System.
Though the budget for the building
and moving procedures did not include
new books, it has doubled in the last two
years and remains adequate to cover
all the important English language
publications in the fields of medicine,
nursing, and the related sciences.
BY FALL, the building will ac-
comodate the library's 3,000-volume
rare book collection with controlled
climate, security, and fire detection
system.
Some statistics make clear the new
library's staggering dimensions:
" 103,000 gross square feet;
" 92,850 usable (net) sq. ft.;
" 12 and one-half miles of shelving;
and,
" 235,000 scientific volumes.
THE ALFRED TAUBMAN Medical Library, on Catherine Street on the Medical Campus, opened last month to serve
the Medical School and other University divisions. The library contains 12 and one-half miles of shelving.

SABOTEUR
(Alfred Hitchcock, 1942)
An aircraft factory worker chases the villains who sabotaged his
plant across America, saving the Atlantic fleet in the process.
Critic Bosley Crowther had the nerve to ask: "Why not just call
the F.B.I.?" Hitchcock wasn't about to leave the fate of the Allies
in the hands of J. Edgor Hoover when he could keep us on the
edge of our seats whi e watching the little guy tackle the forces
of evil. Features the exciting chase in the Statue of Liberty. With
Robert Cummings. (98 min) PLUS: Betty Boop in RISE TO FAME.
T:30 ONLY.
