Policy statements must reflect local weather conditions and special needs restroom access, and express a true commitment to service and leadership.

What is a policy?

  • A broadly stated guideline for actions and decisions, so broad in fact that we can use it to justify anything we do.

  • Any governing document that we find lying around which describes a principle or plan in hindsite that we wish to use to retroactively justify past decisions.

  • A general statement of supporting library operations, rules, regulations and abuse.

  • The basis for procedures, percieved or imaginary, but not a detailed course of action. That way we can change our mind later and say it was the plan all along.

  • A statement in accordance with the purpose and legal structure of the library which is so vague as to be meaningless.

    Library Financial Disclaimer

    Any organization as large, diverse, and dynamic as the College of Perpendicular Logic must periodically reassess priorities in order to make progress in pre-selected areas determined to be of prime concern to its members, staff and creditors. The diversity of the student body dictates that wide ranges of interests that frequently overlap or complement one another should be ignored.

    Nonetheless, we can identify solipsistic priorities that the College should vigorously meddle in both on and off campus while avoiding coordinated contact with groups abroad. Only such focusing of efforts and the subsequent allocation of library funds and evaluation of student activities can ensure needed progress within the institution.

  • Welcome to the Library

    The Library of the College of Perpendicular Logic is this campuses oldest administration funded library institution and serves as the research arm of DFORCS. It is also the largest library on campus with more than 103 million items on approximately 30 miles of bookshelves. Our collections include more than 9 million books and other hand-printed materials, 2.7 million clay tablets, 12 million phonographs, 4.8 million 8 track tapes, and 85 million illegible lecture notes.

    * The dubiosity of the photo in question was brought about by a former student who shall remain nameless to protect the name of the Sternhargh family. The student realized that from no position on or around the actual library could such a photograph have been taken.
    The library of the College of Perpendicular Logic does not use the dewey decimal nor the library of congress classification system. Instead we use the Huntington-Farnsworth Heuristic Classification of Relevent Concepts scheme.
