Historical Note
The Washington State University Libraries date to the founding of the Washington Agricultural College and School of Science, when the library was just a shelf in the President’s office in the first campus building. It quickly grew and became a room in the original College Hall, then half a floor in the Administration Building (Thompson Hall), then half of Bryan Hall, then the full Holland Library, and then the Owen Science and Engineering Library as well. Over time a number of departmental libraries acted as branches of the system, some officially and some unofficially. The Management Review and Analysis Program was an ad-hoc task force implemented by the Director of Libraries in 1974 to evaluate the management of the library systems.
Content Description
Recommendations put forth by the MRAP task force from 1975-1977 to improve organization and management of the library systems. There are 55 recommendations ranging from position title changes to suggestion boxes placed at the front desk of the library.
