After the Library Council has granted the students' petition for an extension of the time for taking out reserved books, we wish they would make another slight change in the delivery of books. At present the bound periodicals can be taken out as any other books and kept out for one month. The result has been that men writing theses and forensics are put to a great inconvenience because they are unable to refer to articles which bear on the subject in hand. >These bound periodicals are essentially books of reference, and should not be allowed to leave the library except upon the conditions which govern the use of reserved books in the reading-room. It is seldom that anyone desires to read more than one of the fifty or more articles which are contained in a volume, and this could easily be done in an hour. But a man if allowed to keep out a book a month, will be in no hurry to return it even if he has no longer a use for it. Several cases of great inconvenience and annoyance under the present system have recently come to our attention.
