The new core will hold and disseminate information even as the traditional library center did in the past. It can be imagined that such a core would contain facilities so students will hear and see poetry presented by the authors, open-heart surgery, drama performances, governmental debates, scientific experiments, etc. In short, with closed circuit TV, tapes, information recall systems, multi-media presentation systems, etc., it is possible to extend and expand many times over the immediate availability of information and material.

Such a center will not replace the traditional library but will supplement it.
