VII. Library Usage
The UCI Libraries – Jack Langson Library, the Science Library and the Grunigen Medical Library – serve a growing and changing campus and the entire county. Holdings in these libraries have grown from 2.1 million volumes in 1998-99 to about 2.4 million in 2003-04. Library services have been expanded and modernized to accommodate in-person visits and online usage, and Langson Library offers ongoing exhibits of interest to the whole community in the main lobby. As a result, library usage has increased from 1.55 million visits in 1999-00 to 2.02 million in 2003-04, and library hours have been extended to 119.5 hours weekly in response to demand.
