Transcript

You know there's a library here, and you know it has some rare books in it,  but what does that mean?  What it means is that, for students and the citizens of Indiana,  we have in Bloomington a library  which is one of the top libraries in the world in rare books.  We're one of the smallest of the great rare book libraries,  but it's very high quality material,  and it offers to people in Bloomington and Indiana and to our students,  opportunities to see things that they'll never see  at any other time in their life,  unless they're in one of the great libraries of Europe.  There are many students who don't realize that.  They need to come in, they need to sort of get an idea of what's here  and then think about how can I use this in my own area of learning?  [ Silence ]
