The east tower of the main library

This Wednesday Chanitra gave me a tour of the east tower in the main library. I had no idea that there are 11 floors in the east tower! And~ you have to walk to the 11th floor because the elevator can only take you to the 10th floor. Also, there is a locked area on the 11th floor where you have to get permission to get in. (It is kinda like the banned book region in Harry Potter lol) The coolest thing of the east tower is that it is extremely quiet there so it is perfect for individual study, especially for graduate students because there are special seats on several floors reserved for them.
And on the 2nd floor, I found a very interesting thing-microforms! They are "images which have been reduced in scale from that which is readable by the unaided eye, and transferred to either transparent or opaque materials." There are microform scanners (the pic) which you can use to read the microfilm, microcard, microprint and microfiche.


You will probably wonder why I am writing my blog on a Halloween Night instead of going out. It is because I am sick :( which is a shame because I had a perfect idea for my costume but now I have to rest at home. Well, I guess I'll have to keep my plan for next year's Halloween. And for you guys, "Happy Halloween!"
