I hope I’m right when I assume the irony will not be lost on most.

Dear Dean Courant:
Michigan Alumnus magazine, late fall 2008 edition, discussed the Espresso Book Machine. What a great advance!
The Clements Library has a large collection of maps and I wonder if the machine could be adapted to reproduce those wonderful maps.

Yours truly,
Stephen Oldstrom, Ann Arbor

Good day,

I am working with a Tier 1 hosting center in Ann Arbor that also has another site on a different power grid in Flint. I was reading about your Hathi Trust project and was wondering if the efforts require an additional site for colocation or disaster recovery? Someone from U of M will be touring us in November, perhaps you could come along also.

Thank you for your consideration.

Hello Paul!

My name is Jacob Nielsen and I visited the University of Michigan Graduate Library today in search of information on the topic of library collection development and other issues that libraries face within the community. I found the librarians to be extremely helpful, much more helpful than those at Monroe County’s Ellis library where I started my research. But what I’m in need of now is an administrative opinion.

I’m wondering if maybe you would take the time to email me your views on some things, because an opinion from someone as highly regarded as you would only help make my paper stronger. Do you believe libraries should reflect the political and moral stance of a community or shoudl it follow other standards? What do you think the primary role of a library is in a community? How do libraries get thier funding? What factors affect a library’s collection development? It is questions like this that I need answers to.

Thank you very much, sir. I look forward to hearing from you very soon.
