Comments/discussion:

Suggestions for expansion to x5:


 * Might want to include more about the Center for the Study of Democratic Institutions Collection, because that think tank has connections to numerous interesting people.
 * The Foot Library has 13th century bibles and other incunabula.
 * Cult Awareness Network papers
 * http://www.ia.ucsb.edu/pa/display.aspx?pkey=1980
 * Relative campus locations of the various library buildings.

To clarify Gamaliel's comment about the expansion: the article was 1471 characters before expansion started, and 4882 now (these numbers come from User:Dr pda/prosesize.js). This is only about 3.5-fold expansion. r ʨ anaɢ (talk) 00:42, 27 July 2011 (UTC)
 * I expanded the article further - should be five-times expansion at this point Neutralitytalk 03:26, 27 July 2011 (UTC)

The original hook is better than ALT1. ALT1 sounds a little bit spammy (unintentionally I'm sure), and besides a library getting renovations is not all that unusual. r ʨ anaɢ (talk) 10:40, 27 July 2011 (UTC)
 * The idea is to mention the seismic retrofit - these are not common in areas where there isn't a big fault line like in North California. Neutralitytalk 13:44, 27 July 2011 (UTC)

Good to go. I also have a preference for the original hook. Gamaliel (talk) 18:26, 27 July 2011 (UTC)
