Streamlining of the Radcliffe Library and overhauling of its book collection will begin on a large scale this summer, Cliffe librarian Ruth Porritt said yesterday.
New lighting schemes in the various reading rooms head the alteration plans, drawn up during the past month in line with suggestion turned in by students and members of the library committee.
The circulation desks and card catalogues will be shifted from the second to the first floor to permit centralization of circulation equipment. When the Whitman Music Room is moved to the proposed new dormitory in 1952, many of the reserve books now in the Fiske Room will go behind the circulation desk.
Library officials have gradually slashed dead weight from the stacks throughout the year in an effort to trim down the present 100,000 volume collection to 80,000. All purchases of new books will concentrate on those required in undergraduate courses.
