Document Description
The existing library was built in 1958 and was designed for print material only. The existing library cannot support currently expected library services such as universal on-line access to information, electronic-based library course offerings, distance learning courses and increased access to knowledge and information resources outside of Hartnell College. The existing library cannot be upgraded, at any cost, to meeting the current and planned needs of the college students. The proposed "Learning Resource Center" would be approximately 63,000 square feet, two to three stories high, and would replace the existing library. The direct beneficiaries of the project include the students and staff of Hartnell College.
