Library Downsized
Among recent changes at NCB, the library was downsized. In keeping with current trends of use, a large number of books were removed, leaving a leaner and more useful group of research books.
A new library being constructed in Vancouver, Washington is advertised as a place to sit comfortably, for people to chant or be quiet. The designers say that it not definitely not a place simply for warehousing books. We agree with that trend.
Many key texts at NCB are being put on CDs. In 2008, we will make the switch to using DVDs. Some books are in the public domain because the copyright has expired. Other books are placed there by the publisher or by the family of the writer.
Books on disk are available to NCB students after they have completed some lessons on line or in the classroom.
