Hi, sorry I had to revert your first edit. If you'd like more information about why, see here. Let me know if you have any questions. Happy editing! Katr67 15:28, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

Hi, I see you added a section on the U of O libraries. But if you click on the link Knight Library, I'm thinking the information would be better added to that article, and maybe redirect/rename Knight Library to an article on the U of O library system. Also, the content of the part you added reads somewhat like an advertisement. Do you by chance work there? :) I'm pro-library, but I'm also pro-making sure Wikipedia stays encyclopedic, so maybe this should be brought up on the article's talk page. Thanks!

You do work there! Welcome aboard! I've had this same conversation with the director of the Oregon State Library. :) Katr67 16:02, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

Hi Katr67 -- I also thought about reworking the Knight Library entry to include more general info about the overall system, but the other entries in the "campus" section focus on campus buildings rather than programs and services. & yes, I do work at the UO Libraries & thought that the UO entry needed a basic overview beyond the Knight building per se, more comparable to other entries about schools, colleges, & programs. This is just a quick start. I hear what you're saying about "advertising" & we will work on this, add more history of the library system, etc. Hopefully others at the UO and throughout the wikipedia community can help with this. Best, Andrew
