> Cornell's current policy on collecting casebooks is the same as
> Wayne State's and for the same reasons. When we do not have the
> correct title or edition that shows up on the faculty list at the
> last minute, we buy directly from our bookstore (student run) -
> and crash the line to get what we need before they sell the last
> copy. They come up short so often that I feel the library must
> provide a copy for that portion of the class who were unable to
> buy initially and then have to wait weeks for the second shipment
> to appear.
> We, too, keep the currently used casebooks on reserve, but with a
> two hour rather than a three hour limit.
> Once upon a time we bought all U.S. casebooks, then during one
> budget crunch we questioned this policy, raised it with the
> library committee and found massive indifference, so cut back
> with no adverse reaction at all.
