TitleLibrarians at the New York Times Information Bank terminal in the M.D. Anderson Library
DescriptionLibrarians Bill Jackson and Deborah Dawson work at the New York Times Information Bank terminal, M.D. Anderson Library. The terminal provided access to the New York Times newspaper via a dial-up connection. A librarian would administer the requested search for a user. M.D. Anderson Library was occupied in 1950 and dedicated on April 1, 1951. Since then, three additions have been made. The first was completed in 1968 and is known as the Blue Wing (architects: Staub and Rather, expanded to Staub, Rather, and Howze). The second was completed in 1977, and is formally named for M.D. Anderson Foundation trustee John H. Freeman, but is better known as the Brown Wing (architects: Kenneth Bentsen Associates). The third was completed in 2005 and is called the Gold Wing (architects: Shepley Bulfinch Richardson and Abbott). This addition, designed in conjunction with a major renovation of the existing building, added 48% more space to the library.
