Campus Announcement: The university will extend the library's hours to 24/5 (Sunday night through Friday night) starting next semester to accommodate students' study needs. To fund this, the library will reduce its print journal subscriptions by 20% and rely more on digital archives. Additionally, a new quiet study floor will be added to the main building.

M: Did you see the announcement about the library? I think it's a terrible idea.
W: Really? I thought extending hours would be great for late-night studying.
M: Sure, but cutting print journals is a big loss. Many of our professors require specific articles from those journals, and digital versions often lag or aren't available for all issues.
W: I hadn't thought about that. But the new quiet floor could help with noise issues.
M: That's true, but we already have a quiet floor. The real problem is that the reduction in journals will hurt research projects. And honestly, most students don't need 24/5 access; they just need it during finals. It's a waste of resources.
