ANNUAL REPORT

1974-75

In March Dr. Lucien White died,just three an~ a half years after assuming

the position of University Librarian. As Associate Director and DiiectoTG rg ij

Public Services and as Associate Dean.he had served this Library since 1958. In

this most difficult year the Library has had to face since thb iDpressirj t, ......

sympathetic direction has been greatly missed.

For purposes of review and for the record, the principal phases of the

Library's operations in 1974-75 are outlined below under the following headings:

I. Growth of the LibraryII. Preparation of Materials

III. Use of the LibraryIV. Quarters and EquipmentV. Planning Activities

GROWTH OF THE LIBRARY

The problems of increasing costs and inadequate funds, evident last year,

became a hard reality this year. Sharply rising prices of library materials.

especially periodicals forced the Library to spend beyond its budget. The Campus

Administration granted additional funds by the end of the year to cover the budget.

Well prior to that it became evident, however, that measures were required to bring

expenditures back into line while making every effort at the same time to keep this

Library among the top institutions in the country. These aims, if not completely

incompatible, are difficult to achieve. Immediate action was taken to bring the

budget into line with costs; ordering of new periodical titles stopped in January

1975 and new monographs in March. By that same month it was determined that the

Library had no choice but to begin cancelling periodicals and other serials since

these particular costs had increased from 15 to 30 percent (book costs rose at

least 10 per cent), with no indication that this enormous inflation rate would

decrease. Almost all large research libraries have had to face this problem

earlier than Illinois. Many began cancellations of serials at least two to three

years ago.

At the end of the fiscal year, June 30, 1975, the Urbana-Champaign Library

held 5,226,951 volumes fully cataloged or otherwise prepared for use. A net total

of 153,989 volumes were added to the Library's organized collections as opposed

to 152,789 in 1973-74 and 184,994 in 1970-71. In addition the Library holdings

included large numbers of items such as music scores, sound recordings, micro-

texts, and maps, bringing the total count of holdings to 8,538,580. Each year the

Library receives a large number of gifts from alumni, faculty, staff, students and

other friends of the Library. A selected list of these is included in Appendix II.

The Technical Departments continued processing accumulated arrearages which

accounts for the slight increase in added volumes despite the moratorium noted

above. For example, the acquisition of books was down 11.3 per cent with similar reduc-

tions in other categories except for maps, which include duplicates from Library

of Congress and other libraries.

The University of Illinois Library Friends

The Friends are now in their third year of operation and have enrolled 382members. A number of significant purchases have been made that would not havebeen possible without this support. Enrollment of the Friends, however, hasreached a plateau and further work, in conjunction with the University of IllinoisFoundation, will be necessary to enlist new members and to gain significant giftsof money to purchase rare materials not possible with the regular budget. Somemoney this year resulted from special requests to complete the purchase of theEliot Indian Bible chosen to be the Library's five millionth volume. Contribu-tions to the Lucien White Memorial Fund were also significant.

The Friends activities are described in Non Solus, the second number ofwhich was issued in January of this year. This publication, along with those inthe Robert Downs Publication Fund, are designed to acquaint scholars, studentsand alumni with the quality and significance of the Library's collections.

The third annual Friends lecture was given by Edwin Wolf, Librarian of theLibrary Company of Philadelphia, who spoke on James Logan, the colonial Americanstatesman, polymath, and bookman. The Friends also sponsored a lecture givenby Dr. George Hendrick on "Dr. Samuel Arthur Jones as a Thoreauvian." Dr.Hendrick helped locate an extensive collection of books and manuscripts gathered

by Dr. Jones and his son Dr. P. V. B. Jones. This collection was purchased fromthe Jones estate with the help of the Friends.

PREPARATION OF MATERIALS

The Technical Departments of the Library--Acquisitions, Cataloging, Serials,

and Special Languages and their divisions such as Gift and Exchange, Documents,Binding and Photographic Services--are responsible for the procurement, organiza-tion and preparation for use of all types of library materials. The following isa summary of their activities.

Acquisitions

Acquisitions is responsible for the procuring of all western language mono-

graphs. Publications received, processed and forwarded by the Department numbered

81,533. Of these items 51,968 (down 17.3 per cent) were acquired by purchase and

29,565 by gift and exchange. By categories there were 51,300 books, 1,964 music

scores and parts, 24,568 maps and aerial photos, 7 manuscripts, 1,610 photographic

reproductions, 2,012 sound recordings, and 72 prints, broadsides, etc.

This Library maintained exchanges with 3,301 foreign and domestic institu-tions, a net gain of 40 during the year. These publications form a valuable part

of our collections since we would not be able to obtain certain materials without

making exchanges with learned societies, academies, observatories, museums and

similar institutions, particularly those in East European countries. In addition

this Library is a depository for a number of local, state, and federal government

publications.

One of the strengths of this Library is its foreign collections, although

the restrictions on purchasing hampered growth of these materials also. The

-3-

Latin American section improved and extended its blanket order capabilities formonographic materials, although some serials had to be subject to cancellationsalong with all others in the Library. The African Divisions found that morematerial was being produced both in terms of volume and quality. Again decreasedpurchasing power made it difficult to take full advantage of this increase. Bycontrast Afro-American materials continued to decrease in quantity of publications.Bibliographers of both Divisions were able to spend more time this year on subjectbibliographies, acquisitions lists, and special services to students and faculty.

The automated accounting system in the Acquisition Department has worked,for the first time in four years, without serious problems. Some minor mechanicalflaws remained but not only did the system succeed in paying bills but it alsoprovided a fairly accurate and prompt monthly report of expenditures and orders.Further, the Department was able to inaugurate a much-needed systematic claimingprocedure for outstanding book orders. More useful for books than for serials,the system still has limitations in reobligation of serials orders and failureto store the necessary order and bibliographical information. It has at times createdtime-consuming delays in payment of serials bills. Additional programming byOffice of Administrative Data Processing is contemplated for increasing its useful-ness.

Cataloging

With the exception of maps, music scores, and sound recordings, all of thecataloging and classification is centralized in three of the Library's TechnicalDepartments: The Catalog Department which handles monographic material in westernlanguages; the Serials Department which processes all serial publications inwestern languages; and the Special Languages Department which handles both mono-graphic and serial volumes printed in the non-Roman alphabet, with the exception ofGreek.

The combined effort of these departments resulted in 77,747 new titlescataloged, fewer by 627 than the previous year, a reduction of 0.8 per cent. Workon analytical titles, as well as recataloging and reclassification of older titlesbrought the number to 92,002 as compared with 86,908 earlier. This catalogingbrought the number of physical items added to the collection to 205,202, 8,313above last year's total. By categories these materials consisted of 160,951 fullycataloged books and pamphlets (down 2.1 per cent), 17,726 microtexts (up 4.1 percent), 1,758 music scores and parts (more than twice last year's 772), 24,267maps and aerial photographs (up 70.0 per cent), and 499 sound recordings.

A step toward automating one aspect of technical processing came with theinstallation of six Ohio College Library Center terminals in the Catalog Depart-ment (with an additional one in Acquisitions for searching). These terminalsprovide on-line access to the computer-stored data base in Columbus, Ohio--es-sentially Library of Congress MARC tapes (which in turn are the updating of theNational Union Catalog) and the cataloging product of other OCLC member librariesthroughout the eastern half of the country. Funding, in part, came for the firsttwo years from the Illinois State Library on an experimental basis. Use of thesystem will allow searching of these computer files for cataloging informationwhich might otherwise have to be done from Library of Congress copy or done hereas original work by our catalogers. Although various computer and productionproblems prevented full utilization of the system, it should cover 60-70 per centof our Roman alphabet cataloging including the production of cards for the catalog.

-4-

This next year will be a test of the OCLC system on a full production basis.Further extension into serials cataloging will make the system even more valuable;however, this additional feature (as well as other planned expansion of OCLC) issome time away.

There were 245,131 cards added to the main card catalog; this catalog isestimated to contain 7,290,825 cards. The expansion of the card catalog intothe south corridor on the second floor was delayed this year, but the move isplanned for September.

Because of OCLC and printed shared cataloging sources, this Library nowhas to do only 27.5 per cent original cataloging with 63 per cent coming from theLibrary of Congress and 9.4 from National Union Catalog.

Serials Department

The Serials Department orders, catalogs, processes, and receives westernlanguage periodicals and other serials, with the exception of newspapers. Thebudget crisis had the most serious effect on serials, since the rise in costs ishighest in this area. At the end of the year the Library was receiving 80,122different serial titles, excluding newspapers, an increase of only 283 during theyear. The total countof serials checked in on a current basis, including duplicates,was 91,331 or 533 fewer than in 1973-74. This was possibly the first year in thelast half century that this figure has not shown a sustained growth. The effectwill be more serious when the final figures on cancellations for this calendaryear are available.

The Serial Acquisitions Division processed 42,449 pieces (excluding loose-

leaf materials) compared to 30,136 last year--the moratorium on ordering allowed

the Division to work on accumulated backlogs. Serial cataloging came to 3,367new titles, a decrease of 8.3 per cent while analytical titles numbered 3,474

(up 39.4 per cent) and recataloging and reclassification 2,934. Further additionsto the Central Serial Record numbered 4,618 for a total of 81,117 titles.

Because of a reduction in binding funds and the rise in binding costs, the

Library was not able to bind as many materials as it has in the past. The Bind-

ing Division processed 45,966 volumes and pamphlets which was a 28.1 per cent

decrease from last year's 64,004. The Marking Section processed 145,417 books,pamphlets, and microforms; the Mending Section bound 15,578 pamphlets, provided

loose-leaf binders or other binding for 4,684 items (an increase of 65.6 percent from the year before), and mended, reinforced, laminated, and otherwise

repaired 24,093 items. Constant maintenance of the collection is a vital part

of protecting it. Reduction in this preservation process will have long-range

effects and will result in backlogs of binding.

Special Languages Department

The Special Languages Department handles Slavic and Asian materials and

owing to language and other problems involved carries on the public service as

well as the processing aspects related to these materials.

Because of lowered purchasing ability, the Special Languages showed ex-

penditures below the level of the previous year and shared with other units the

burden of working on cancellations of serial titles. The Department was able to

-5-

work on backlogs in all of its three Divisions (Slavic, South and West Asia, andFar Eastern).

The Slavic Division cataloged 10,603 titles (up 13.7 per cent) in 12,161volumes. Fully cataloged Slavic collections now number 250,807 with seriousbacklog of some 26,000 volumes to be processed. The Summer Research Laboratorysponsored by the Russian and East European Center, which attracted some 90 visit-ing scholars from all over the country, made extensive use of what is now one ofthe important Slavic collections in the country.

The two Asian Divisions processed 6,523 titles in 9,235 volumes. Totalfully cataloged Asian resources (classified in the Library of Congress systemand shelved outside the Bookstacks) number 121,786 volumes.

Recorded circulation in all Special Languages Divisions was up substantial-ly (47.9 per cent increase).

Photographic Division

This Division of Technical Services provides photographic reproductions ofbooks and journals, non-photographic copying, duplication of catalog cards notfurnished by the Ohio College Library Center, general duplication work, andsign printing. Services of this Division are available to users both on campusand off.

Mail order facsimile prints sent through the mail totaled 242,997 prints,an increase of 17.8 per cent over last year's 206,132. Over the counter use declinedwith 3,241 users obtaining 60,738 prints, a 25.9 per cent decrease. The Divisionproduced 775,192 catalog cards, a reduction of 13.6 per cent.

The Division was in charge of microfilming the Central Serial Record.Copies of this catalog, on cartridge microfilm, are now in most libraries oncampus as well as in the Public Library Systems and in other research librariesthroughout the state. The Division is also in the process of filming the maincard catalog for distribution to the Public Library Systems and to other li-braries which might find it useful for interlibrary loans. Both projects werefinanced by the Illinois State Library.

USE OF THE LIBRARY

Recorded Circulation

Recorded use at the Urbana Campus was the highest in its history. It in-creased 83,161 or 4.6 per cent over last year for a total of 1,884,032 trans-actions. Reserve circulation showed a slight increase for a total of 648,735.This reserve use was 34.46 of the total circulation. Since the largest body of

reserve materials is now deposited centrally in the Undergraduate Library, thisLibrary showed the largest increase in reserve use.

Student circulation increased by one per cent while faculty circulationjumped 23.6 per cent. Use by local residents and other nonstudents increasedfrom 116,309 to 145,802 or 26.4 per cent which continued the pattern of recentyears. When the 42,074 interlibrary loans made to libraries for persons

-6-

throughout the state and nation are considered, the total shows that almost10 per cent of the recorded use is made by persons who are not students orstaff. While some funds are provided by the State Library for this service--primarily by payment for interlibrary loans through the ILLINET (IllinoisLibrary and Information Network)--much of the circulation is an unfunded portionof the work load. This Library has never charged for its services, but, likeother libraries in the country, we may have to consider charges.

Turnstile and reading room counts were also up and in three of the largerunits (Undergraduate, Commerce, and Education and Social Science) the increaseaveraged to 13.34 per cent.

The ten most heavily used libraries were Circulation (352,927), Undergradu-ate (306,510), Education and Social Science (151,121), Music (112,732), Commerce(102,885), Biology (72,405), Engineering (64,903), Architecture (49,844), Communi-cations (48,436), and Physical Education (46,269).

Hours of Opening

Total hours of opening during the regular semesters remained the same aslast year with the exception of a significant increase of 105 hours per week inthe Health Sciences Library. The additional hours in that library came as a resultof the move to their new quarters, and funds received to cover them were transferredfrom the Medical Center Library in Chicago. A number of units attempted to pro-vide more flexible hours, especially during exam and interim periods. Additionalexperiments have been made during the year, particularly on evenings precedingthe resumption of classes following interim periods. Overall, however, the Li-brary has not been able to make significant increase in the number of hours opendespite requests by both students and staff. Extension of hours should remainone of our high priorities.

Reference Work

While recorded circulation is an indicator of use, it is not necessarily themost significant. Reference service provides individual assistance to both stu-dents and faculty, and is one of the most valuable activities of any library system.This fact is too often overlooked, partly because it is difficult to measure. TheReference Department did record an increase of 6 per cent in the number of questionsasked, bringing the total to 31,300. The Music Library as an example, in theirfirst complete year of keeping statistics, recorded a total of 5,521 questionswhile Law registered 6,655, a 27.5 per cent increase. What is not shown, however,is the time required to answer the request. Law, for example, showed an increaseof 139 per cent in questions which required more than 15 minutes of staff time.

With automation in various fields increasing in sophistication (and in cost)departmental librarians are continuing to cooperate with Professor Martha Williams

in attempts to develop machine-based information retrieval systems on campus.

Various demonstrations and experiments have encouraged interest in these embryo

systems. One of the fully functioning off-campus data bases is the MEDLINE which

connects the Health Science Library with the computer system of the National Li-

brary of Medicine. There was a 29.6 per cent increase in MEDLINE searches last

year with 722 searches being performed.

Interlibrary Loans

As has been noted earlier, extension of our services to the state and nationhas become a significant portion of our work. With budget restrictions throughoutthe country, libraries of this size are called upon to be backups to the smallerlibraries. Cooperation, a much talked of word, has always meant for the largelibrary much more lending than borrowing. This Library lends approximately 10times more than it borrows. With the cancellation of some serial titles, however,our cooperative efforts in collection building may mean more reliance on other li-braries than in the past.

The Reference Department reported a slight increase in requests to obtainmaterials from other libraries through interlibrary loan by U of I students andfaculty--from 3,409 to 3,639, an increase of 6 per cent. Requests on behalf ofundergraduate and non-thesis graduate students, a category which we have not previ-ously handled to any extent, increased by 329 per cent due mainly to other librariesopening their collections to this type of student borrowing. The total number ofitems received increased from 3,677 to 4,427; however, we were unable to fill 833requests, a big increase from last year's 458. Other large libraries, besiegedby requests also, are not lending or buying as freely as before. Most of theunlocated items were foreign publications. Materials in medical and biologicalliterature continue to be the largest subject category requests. Most of thismaterial is obtained from the Midwest Regional Medical Library Network via theJohn Crerar Library. The second largest group of requests are newspapers largelysupplied by the Center for Research Libraries and the Illinois State HistoricalLibrary.

The greatest number of titles borrowed came from the following: Centerfor Research Libraries (343), University of Illinois at the Medical Center (256);University of Chicago (212); John Crerar (212); Library of Congress (119); IndianaUniversity (110). In addition large numbers of requests were filled by IllinoisState Historical, Michigan, Cornell, and Wisconsin at Madison.

The number of volumes loaned or photocopies supplied to other librariesincreased from 35,876 last year to 43,729, a rise of 21 per cent. The bulk ofthe loans went to Illinois libraries which accounted for a 15.28 per cent increase;however, out-of-state loans also increased by 11 per cent. The continued growthof this Library's CIllinois] Reference and Research Division since its inceptionseven years ago has been constant. It is one of the most successful attempts atcooperation and will continue to be one of the major means of giving service tothe citizens of Illinois through ILLINET (Illinois Library and Information NetWork).

Extension of Services

The most common ways of publicizing the Library's collections and services

to students and staff are through acquisitions lists, periodical lists, library

guides and handbooks, orientation tours and lectures, organized courses, andexhibits. The great majority of libraries utilize acquisition lists which varyin frequency, length and amount of annotation according to the needs of the users.

Many of these lists go beyond campus-wide use and are distributed nationally andinternationally as valuable selection tools. As an example, the Map and Geography

Library's list of maps was cited at the Special Libraries Association annual meet-ing as the best example of its kind. The Modern Language Library has inaugurated

-8-

a list of its foreign language acquisitions received via blanket order while the

Veterinary Medicine Library conducted an experiment by programming cumulated ac-

quisitions lists into the computer as an integral part of its PLATO orientation

program.

Most libraries prepare specialized materials on how to use their particular

library. New approaches in format and content explaining special facilities are

being used. Some libraries have experimented with available audio tapes explaining

such tools as Index Medicus and Science Citation Index. Orientation tours are a

regular service of most libraries on campus. The Undergraduate Library, for

example, gave 117 tours to Rhetoric 105 sections and 16 to EOP Rhetoric. Self-

guided tours, either in printed or audio tape form or combined with slides have

been used. The PLATO system is used in the Veterinary Medicine Library as a self-

guided tour. The Library schedule of hours has been stored in PLATO so that all

terminals may have access to this information.

Exhibits and displays were utilized to publicize the Library both in the

north-south corridor of the main Library and also in individual libraries. Among

the exhibits shown in the Library's first floor corridor were: Lincolniana in

the U of I Library; Development of Cartography; Illinois History as represented

in the Illinois Historical Survey Library; Spanish Speaking Minorities in the

U.S.; and The Serene and the Demonic in Japanese Cultures.

As a further indication of the use of the Library by other than students

and staff, the Reference Department issued 4,623 Library permits, an increase of

6 per cent over the previous year. The largest group of users was, as might be

expected, Parkland College students--263 permits, up 39 per cent. Use of state-

wide borrowers cards by graduate students and faculty from other state universities

increased 17 per cent--279 permits issued. This Library issued 18 of these cards

to enable our students to use other libraries in the state.

Book Selection and Processing

Along with direct service to the user, the Public Service librarian's main

function is to select material for the collection, in terms of both the curriculum

and the strengths of the total collection using the Acquisition Policy Statement

as a guide. Students and faculty also call to the attention of the librarian

new materials which they have found in their research. This constant interaction

between librarians and the academic community has made this Library the major re-

search institution it has become. Many departments have library committees which

play an active role in advising as to collection priorities. A recommended set of

guidelines for committees has been sent to departmental librarians to encourage

departments which do not use this means of communication with the library. Because

of the budget crisis, much work was done this year on "deacquisitions" of peri-

odicals and other serials. Because the need to cut this material amounted to a

crisis situation, departmental librarians had to make traumatic cuts in the very

collections they and their faculty had built up in special areas throughout the

years. Numerous problems still need to be solved--priorities for any future

cancellations, possible reallocation of resources by subject areas, and the

question of duplication.

While most items are processed centrally in this Library, the processing

of maps is accomplished in the Map and Geography and Geology Library; the hand-

ling of music scores and parts and of recordings is done in the Music Library;

-9-

the processing of audio visual materials is done in the Health Sciences. The

University Archives processed about 160 cubic feet of material, including the

Avery Brundage archives.

Theft of materials continued to be a problem. The size of the collections,

the impossibility of systematic total annual inventories, checking of individual

volumes for mutilation, and the variation in reporting procedures due to differ-

ing types of materials make it difficult to arrive at an accurate estimate of

our total losses. It is probable that the cutback in purchasing power for re-

placements and new titles will have the effect of increasing the pressure on

existing materials. Strict security measures such as mechanical or electronic

screening devices are expensive and, at times, discourage use rather than prevent

theft. Preservation of the collections may make it necessary to implement these

additional security measures, if money can be found.

Quarters and Equipment

Two new facilities were completed during this year: the Music Library and

the Library of the Health Sciences. The new Music Library has 22,000 square feet

of space which enabled the Library to consolidate collections that had been located

in several places. Health Sciences has 9,119 square feet in its new facility which

is intended to support both the existing Basic Medical Sciences and the proposed

clinical medical program on the Urbana campus; it contains extensive audio-visual

facilities, including PLATO terminals.

An engineering study of the construction problems of the proposed Library

North Court addition is planned for this year. The Facilities Planning Committee

approved for forwarding to the Campus Administration the Library's requests for

the Engineering Library renovation, the Sixth Stack Addition and the Veterinary

Medicine's move into the new complex. Some minor remodeling of space was made

in the Undergraduate Library and in the Architecture Library. An architecture

class used the proposed Special Collections Building as a project.

Space continued to be a problem for almost all public service units. In

particular the University Archives' ratio of holdings to stack space increased

from 132 per cent to 144. During a visit of the accreditation committee of the

American Library Association to the Graduate School of Library Science, the team

registered a strong criticism of the quality of space devoted to the Library

Science Library. Lack of funds would seem to prevent any major solution to the

Library's space problems. Building the Sixth Stack Addition would provide

relief for all units except Archives; however, this addition is, at best, two

to three years away from being started.

PERSONNEL

The Library has 165.00 FTE academic positions (including 21.00 FTE half-

time graduate assistants) and 239.50 FTE nonacademic positions. The total staff,

FTE, was 404.50. Special funds this year came from the Illinois State Library

Research and Reference Center Program, the Housing Division, Northern Illinois

University and Illinois State University.

There were 15 appointments made to the Library Faculty during the year and

49 graduate students were appointed to assistantships (including 6 renewal

-10-

appointments). The Library Personnel Office processed 19 academic resignations

during the year, including retirement papers for Miss Eva Faye Benton, English

Librarian, who will complete forty years on the staff when she retires at the

end of August. Members of the Library Faculty participate in many professional

activities, such as Illinois State Library Advisory Committee, part-time teach-

ing of subject bibliography units in the Graduate School of Library Science

and book reviewing for radio station WILL and professional journals. They

also participated in University assignments and committees such as COPE, the

Facilities Planning Committee and the University Senate and its committees.

Community activities included service on the Board of Directors of the Urbana

Free Library, the C-U Symphony Guild and service to many charitable organiza-

tions. A partial list of activities of the Library Faculty is attached as

Appendix III. This is the first time such a list has been compiled by theResearch and Publication Committee in its On, An Occasional Newsletter..., No. 1,

October 1975.

The rate of turnover in the nonacademic staff was slightly higher this

year with 148 appointments made and 118 resignations processed.

The Library Salary Evaluation Committee examining male and female academic

salaries completed its report and made various recommendations on inequities in

salaries among the Library Faculty. The report was accepted by the Librarian

and forwarded to the campus Administration which also accepted and acted on the

report.

PLANNING ACTIVITIES

The Library Long Range Planning Committee has begun to examine its recommenda-

tions for implementation. Various task forces are working on the short-range ob-

jectives. A Consultative Committee has been appointed to search for a new Uni-

versity Librarian, and a COPE Committee has also been appointed to begin work on

evaluation of the Library over a two-year period.

The long-hoped for automated on-line circulation system in the Undergraduate

Library was postponed once again; however, testing was expected to begin in Sep-

tember. Technical improvements in the IBM system may soon be available to make

the system more effective and less costly.

A most important development is the effort to gain from shared cataloging

by joining the Ohio College Library Center network. The results of this project

are discussed under the Cataloging section. Information storage and retrieval

experimentation has been slowed because of lack of funds; however, the Coordinated

Science Laboratory in cooperation with the Library has continued to work on various

projects which have solid promise.
