The Smathers Libraries are considering several options to address the immediate space problems in Library West.  Because our space problems are so severe, it will no doubt be necessary to use some combination of these options.  None of these options will solve the problems for more than a few years.  Because we are concerned about the impact of these options on faculty and students, we are seeking information about your preferences among these difficult choices.  Please indicate your assessment of each according to the following scale.

1. This change will improve access to library resources for me.
2. This option is acceptable to me.
3.   I have no opinion about this option.
4.   This option will be inconvenient for my access to needed library resources.
5. This option would be very detrimental to my access to library resources.
