The Dissolution of the Black Studies & Women's Studies Libraries

        Currently, the Black Studies and Women’s Studies Libraries are closed! The director plans on integrating these collections into one library (the Main Library), upon completion of renovations in 2009. We are not only losing the convenience of having the collections in one place but an important piece of OSU’s history. These two libraries (Black Studies and Women’s Studies) were established in 1971 and 1972 respectively, by the efforts of students and have become irreplaceable resources at The Ohio State University. Now the director has made the decision to close these libraries without our consent. We want to show him and the entire University how important these libraries are to us.  Please help us fight to keep the efforts of students alive!
