Augustana College received commendation on their Mik-kelson Memorial Library plans at the recent meeting of the American College and Re-search Libraries Division of the American Library Associa-tion. Kordillia Johnson, head li-brarian, and W. E. Bentizin-ger, architect from Harold Spitznagel and Associates, de-signers of the library, attended the two-day conference last weekend in Detroit, Michigan, of the ACRL Building Plans Institute. Critics in attendance at the con-ference stated that Augustana College had shown foresight in providing the microfilm room in the new library. The group also commended the inclusion of rooms for the Car-negie Music and Art collection. Some question was raised con-cerning the main reading room's having a balcony, with some feel-ing that the space could better be used. However, Miss Johnson re-ports that the consensus of opinion seemed to be that "the aesthetic value of wide expanse of two-story reading room was to be highly praised." Augustana's were the only plans with a balcony sub-mitted to the institute. Members of the group agreed that closed stacks were fast going out of style and praised Augustana's use of open stacks. Miss Johnson stated that methods of moving from the old library to the new one were discussed which was of great help for the Augustana librarian. Walter W. Wright, University of Pennsylvania, led the discus-sion of the Augustana plans. Mr. Wright is editor of the American Library Association publication. Augustana College was the first college to be chosen from South Dakota and this area to attend the conference which is limited to col-lege and university libraries. Others submitting plans were Wes-tern Michigan College of Educa-tion, Olivet College, Adelphi Col-lege and the Universities of New Hampshire, Kansas, Maryland Medical Center and Purdue.
