Request for Support -
U.B.C. Library Collection

U.B.C. Library collections are being threatened
quite seriously through the effects of inflation
and devaluation of the dollar. We know you are
in the same boat. We will be submitting propo-
sals for special funding from the provincial
government. We welcome letters of support from
your researchers who might be willing to comment
on:

- the unique nature of the U.B.C. Library's
resources:

- the extent to which they depend on the
U.B.C. Library for collections.

If you feel so inclined, please ask your researchers
if they might wish to write a let ter of support.
The letters could include, but need not be limited
to:

- reference to specific materials or
collections;

- relationship to the person's research;

- lack of similar materials elsewhere in
this area of B.C.

There is some urgency to preparing our brief.
Please ask your researchers to address the
letters to:
