Example
Professor Richards needs to access a private library to gather data for her Organized Research project. The library belongs to the Springfield Preservation Society. Access to the library is limited to members. Professor Richards pays dues from the Designated Fund to become a member of the society.
-
Does the payment for society dues require an X Class?
No. The membership dues do not require an X Class. The society's library was the sole source of the data the professor needed to conduct Organized Research. The only way to access the data is to become a member of the society.
