H. summa of Eva luatiorra On 15 May 1958, Deputy CIA Librarian, stateds "This suggestion has considerable merit. At one time the Library had a set of small lights clamped to clip boards for this purpose. This was discontinued only because the lamps were carried away. In the absence of complaints, no attempt was made to replace them. "Since this suggestion may represent a wider but unexpressed need, the Library will experiment with spot lighting for note taking in the microfilm reading room. "Although it would be very difficult to establish a monetary saving, there will almost certainly be an improvement of service as a result.of this suggestion." On 10 December 1958, Staff Assistant, CIA Library, stateds "The subject suggestion recommended the installation of small reading lights in the microfilm reading room to illuminate the 'note taking'. area for individuals using the microfilm readers. The lights have been installed. Although or different design from the original suggestion, the result is essentially the same. "We believe that this suggestion is of slight benefit. The use of the lights would not necessarily affect all users of the reading room but would apply only to those individuals who would make a personal preference for using the reading light. The reading lights are not essential to the effective use of the microfilm readers - they are more of a luxury.
