- Michigan State University Director of Libraries Richard E. Chapin delivers his final address to library staff as he prepares for retirement. Chapin reviews the history and growth of the MSU Libraries and comments on funding, collections, space planning and the needs of library users. He predicts that the library of the future, driven by technology, will need to position itself to serve a constituency which will expect to use collections and services remotely, outside of the typical library building. Chapin also shares several personal anecdotes from his thirty-one years as director and praises library staff for their hard work and commitment to MSU. Held in the MSU Main Library.
