For the record, the library featured in this story is a minor one, and hardly impacts the total book collection for UT at all. Given this context, this story is very misleading...
- UT has 17 (at last count) libraries on the Austin campus, according to specialization.
- The collection is this particular library is generalized and shallow, with only a small fraction of each floor dedicated to the book collection.
- The building is 4-5 floors (can't remember for sure). The bottom floor is computer labs, offices and a lecture hall and the top floor is a meeting space not connected to the library.
- This library is only about 75 yards from the Student Union on an already over-crowded campus.
- The library faces the main concourse for public demonsrations on campus - the West Mall.
In other words, the student body has has been using this building for social gathering for the last 15 years at least, and it seems like UT is finally given up on it's token designation of the building on the campus map.
UT has a long and continuing dedication to the printed word, that I used extensively in my undergradute studies in History. The collection goes far beyond the texts of the major publishing houses to include one-of-a-kind volumes both old and new that can only be accessed on campus or via inter-library loan.
The UT libraries house the the nation's fifth largest academic library, containing over 8 million volumes. They aren't going anywhere, trust me.
