ANNUAL REPORT 1997-8 |
 | | In March 1998 the Aoi Pavilion opened to readers, and in June the formal opening ceremony was carried out by the Vice-Chancellor, Sir Alec Broers, in the presence of Mr Tadao Aoi, President of Marui Company Limited, whose generous donation of £3 million enabled the extension to be constructed. |
 | | The move of books into the Aoi Pavilion, and the decision by the Syndicate to remove to closed access certain older sequences, allowed a re-spacing exercise to take place which, when completed in late 1998, will provide growth space for several years in all open-access subject areas. |
 | | The staff are to be commended for maintaining a level of service throughout; the disruption was worthwhile, however, and the new arrangements both for readers in the Anderson Room and for the staff in the new workroom are a great improvement. |
