Originally a cardboard affair, the suggestion box underwent renovation in 1981 when library staff presented a handmade, var­ nished, permanent version— complete with por­ traits of Johann Sebastian and P.D .Q . Bach on each side— to music librarian Thomas F. Heck. Heck, who personally answers all the ques­ tions, suggestions, and complaints submitted to the box under “Johann’s” signature, says it has prompted its fair share of patron interaction and is a very good public relations device. Some of the queries are answered in verse or dialogue and all contain a fair amount of musical puns. Ever since the box was made available, student-staff relations at the library have been very chordial. • * with regard to library and archive collec­ tion development. Fee: $111.75.
