A year ago we explained how "deferred maintenance" of the Rasmuson Library building would help to preserve our collections. A reallocation approved by the Regents in June will enable us to rearrange our space as well. Among the changes in the latest draft plan:

The Alaska & Polar Regions Department began making annual reports in 1996, but you have not heard from us for three years. Our excuse is that we have been struggling to keep up with our regular work while Rasmuson Library was renovated top to bottom. A more profound reason is that we lost our ideal reader with the death of Elmer E. Rasmuson on December 1, 2000. We trust that the readers of this report will hold us to the same high standards.
