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.

* 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.
