From January 1993 to April 1994, the Library conducted a study of the use of the journal collections. The data from the study will be correlated with information on subscription costs and availability through document delivery services to help faculty and selectors in making decisions on cancelling and retaining journals. A preliminary analysis of the results has shown that:
The papers and private library of the architectural historian William Dendy (1948-1993) is perhaps the most notable in kind donation received this year. The collection includes over 3,500 books, some 38,000 slides taken by Dendy, and materials documenting his original research. The collection represents virtually a complete document of Canadian architecture.
Continued fundraising and public relations efforts including the May Friends Lecture, joint ventures with faculty, and participation in the alumni appeal have resulted in an increase in cash and in kind donations as well as a heightened awareness of the Library.
The Library's concern for continued effective use of library space for collections and services required some minor but significant renovations and alterations:
