Free Newspapers???
Just wanted to let everyone know that a student came to the desk and asked if we give free copies of current newspapers, such as New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, etc. I informed him that we certainly do not give them away, but students are permitted to use them only in the library. He had a hard time believing me because the president of SGA and several others "who should know" told him to just come over to the library and get a paper. He has seen several students walking around campus with newspapers and assumed it was the freebie from the library. I have informed Mykie about this.

FYI, another patron came by today with the same request. I gave him the same answer...NO FREE NEWSPAPERS HERE.
I wonder if NY Times is doing that freebie give away again -- it's usually part of a class, but I'm not sure which class was doing that last year. I'll dig back through my records and see if I have any notes on it and keep you posted if I figure anything out.
Tom, perhaps you should call over to SGA and see if you can clear things up! :-)
I think they give them away in the GGH area of Rader Hall.
Ray is correct about the availability of free copies of the NYT in Rader Hall. It is a part of the American Democracy Project. I'll try to find out if there are any other locations besides Rader that have been designated distribution points for the NYT.
