The document discusses the history and future of the Richard McCulloch Memorial Library. It notes that in the past the library used a card catalog to find books but now uses an online catalog called Destiny Quest, and used print periodical indexes but now relies on online databases. It also highlights that librarians now have Master's degrees in Library Science and provide over 200 classes per year to students on topics like research skills. The document questions what the future may hold for the library given limitations and changing needs of students over time.
