Abstract

A new library, radically different in concept and reality from any library that currently exists, is being developed by the City of San Jose and San Jose State University. Located in downtown San Jose on a site of two earlier libraries, the new building will serve both thc campus and the community. This paper provides the perspective of the Dean of SJSU Library, and a Reference Librarian heavily involved in the planning process. Issues addressed include initial and ongoing visions, barriers encountered, what works well in planning, merging vs. nonmerging of services, unexpected consequences, and hurdles left to clear.

Abstract

Openly gay marine Stephen Funk comes out as the first conscientious objector of the U.S. war with Iraq as of May 13, 2003. When his Marine reserve unit was called to active duty in February, 21-year-old Funk did not report. But on April 1, 2003 after having been AWOL for 47 days, Funk turned himself in, in San Jose, California. In his hands he carried papers declaring himself a conscientious objector of the war. In a surprising move of leniency, Funk was not arrested, though at press time the Marines were deciding to punish him. He instead must report to San Jose in California while his application is processed. If convicted as a deserter, he could face up to two years in military prison.
