[Alumni-chat] Do Non-Ohio Antioch University locations own and operate "Antioch" libraries at all?

[YAZZ Allen]

Hi from Yazz (David) Allen '66 (Email me at YazzAllen at Yahoo.Com):
 
Thanks to Robin Simons for comments about libraries.
 
With respect, I strongly disagree that things are OK with libraries these days.
 
I earned a Master's Degree in Library Sci. at the U. of MD (College Park) 20 years ago and was elected to the Beta Phi Mu International Library Science Honor Society (the Phi  Beta Kappa for the Library Science field).  I worked as an Intern at the Library of Congress (Manuscript Division), met personally with the then Library of Congress, James Billington (he's still there, I think).
 
Things are BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD in the library world, trust me.
 
I could provide a laundry list of symptoms and clear evidence about all this, but it would be depressing and likely not change much.  Contact me at the above personal email site, and I'll do it if you like.
 
Do the Antioch University non-Ohio locations have libaries at all?  Where do people who get "Antioch degrees" from these places go for library research, etc.?
 
One of the BIG holes in the current mania for University Of Phoenix type schools is precisely that these places seldom or never had OK libraries and don't apologize a big about that.  Damn!
 
 
I send this message from the computer station at the Shrewsbury PA USA 17361 public library!  I use and love libraries, but...................things are black re: libraries, and it's important to learn why.
 
Thanks to Robin for his/her kind message about libraries. And DO get Peg Bracken's great book about old age.  It's wonderful.  RIP, Peg '40!
 
Best,
Yazz (David) Allen '66
