I'm presently doing research for a paper on the Chavez government in Venezuela. One of the key points in said government is the 2002 coup, so today I was in Microtext digging up newspapers and seeing what they had to say.
The April 2002 New York Times box contained a copy of Pravda.
The April 2002 Toronto Star was a Christian Science Monitor from 1998.
The April 2002 Christian Science Monitor was--oh, sweet irony--the April 2002 Toronto Star.
The April 2002 Guardian was actually October of that year.
Of the 13 strips I pulled, only two contained what was written on the box. I'm calling double mofo:
1) Patrons, is it really that hard to make sure the right strip goes into the right box before it goes back onto the shelf?
2) University, you really need to assign more staff to Microtext--I've never even seen a proper librarian in there. (Sometimes a student comes in to check on things, but the desk is perpetually set to "be back in five minutes".) Half the reason it's this bad is because there's nobody keeping track. |
