Over 1T5 staff ranters maintain the lain library and its three branches, the Woodward Library^ the law Library and the GurricalKBB laboratory. More branches are "being planned, Inevitably to such an organisation people often fail to meet one another and divisions are not always aware of each others' activities, ®*e staff newsletter BIELOS will attempt to solve a growing problem of coffinainication, and will carry information of both an official and non-official nature. Staff members are urged to submit to members of the editorial committee any news or announcements they wish to circulate. -2- THE EDITORIAL COMMITTEE'S STATEMEIT We, as a new body, initiating a new means of library-wide1 communication,, quite simply ask for help and co-operation in collecting material and in making .your opinions known,, We welcome both your vi< and your problems in that we will gladly air them in /published print, If we can act both as a staff sounc board and as a news media, we may fulfil some useful need* Most import ant ly, we smile S WE ARE- JTay Kincaid, Chairman Pat Gorgenyi Jill Buttery JSusari Lissack Mike Matthews Marilyn Berry Ture Eriekson Jeanette Fish Eleanor Mercer, Recording Cataloging Acquisitions Science Social Sciences Circulation College Library now .Sedgewick Library Woodward Library „ ,„ Law Library Secretary Extension Library ©over dfsign by Judy Williams Anyone wishing to circulate material in next ■month's BIBLOS should please contact one of us before November 23rd, HEADS' MEETING Senate Library Committee October 21,64. The Senate met on October 21st and approved appointment of the following Senate Library Committee for 196*1—65 ♦ Dean I0M. Cowan; Ghairman Dr. John Harris Dr. Malcolm F. McGregor Dr. Sydney Friedman Dr. K.C. Mann1 Mr. F.E. Walden Dr. S. Rothstein Chancellor President Librarian Registrar ex-officio Staff Authors Mr. Stuart-Stubbs displayed Canadian Book prices current, 1959-62, v. 3, compiled by Rita Butterfield, and assisted by R.M. Hamilton. This useful and important work lists the prices-of Canadiana in recent years. The first two volumes were compiled by Mr. Hamilton before he came to UBC. School of Librarianship The School has requested that its students be scheduled, as before, to observe at the Information Deskj and next term to man the desk, under guidance. On Friday, November 20th, the School will make a field trip to Victoria, to visit the University of Victoria Library, Victoria Public Library, the Queen's Printer and the Provin- cal Library. Librarians who can be spared from their duties are^ welcome to joint the group-please notify the School office, local 712. Return fare, approximately J6.00. The chartered buses will leave-Blanca Loop at 8:00 a.m. and return on the 7:00 p.m. ferry. . .4- DEPARTMENTAL LIBRARIES A draft policy on library units outside the main building, prepared in 1963* will be worked on again., It is hoped, after possible revision, to get this statement adopted as definite University policy. BUILDING The architect expects that most of the alterations will be complete by November 15th, although the work on heating and ventilation will probably go on until the end of November., The new stack entry in the front hall should be ready by October 26th, and the processing divisions should be reunited on Floor 7 by November. 2nd. The shelving has only recently been shipped from England; shelf reading will be completed by November 15th. Mr.. Bell hopes to convince the University that a thorough post-construction cleaning, done by ^outside services, is essential - which it is. The portraits of chancellors and presidents in the concourse will be removed to various other locations; the concourse wings, the new Reserve Book Room, and to the Fine Arts' Room entry. The portrait of Dr. Sedgewick will be hung in the College Library, and that collection will be renamed the Sedgewick Library. DID YOU KNOW Library notice boards are for our own announcements only, and occasionally for worthy campus causes. The Librarian will send a statement of this policy to the Ubyssey. -5- FRONT-OFFICE CLEANINGS Mid-Term Break At its meeting on October 21st, i;he.University Senate passed a motion approving a-mid-term break, March 4,5,6, for those Faculties in which a recess would, not. adversely affect the academic programme. This break would require cancellation^of lectures and laboratories but would not mean a closing of'the University. The Librarian asked the Chairman of Senate (President Macdonald) if the Library was to be closed. The Chairman of Senate (President Macdonald) replied to the Librarian that the Library should remain open. Gifts and Exchanges The needs of other academic libraries i© the province should be our first priority in distributing duplicates. In order to ensure that this is done, Eleanor Mercer will scrutinize all incoming gifts to establish which items are suitable for inclusion to academic libraries and which duplicates should be offered just within the province. A PLEA TO ALL STAFF All material taken from the stacks for xeroxing must be signed out. Periodicals are wandering! Please! Staff members must sign out all periodicals - on a Library Use only basis. Librarians have faculty borrowing privileges HAVE YOU TRIED TO CALL We offer a preliminary list of Library locals with additions and changes to be announce!

Unfortunately, a complete scanning of all present and future changes would fill an entire BIBLOS. Therefore, in compromising fashion, we will mention the newly created departments an'd introduce the first of a series of write-ups on individual divisions and libraries, MAP DIVISION All maps have been moved to a new area on floor seven, south wing. The Division will be open from nine to one and two to five, Monday to Friday. It is hoped to develop closer "liaison with the Geography Department's map collection in anticipation that the collections might one day be merged in better quarters. Personnel of the Division: Maureen Wilson, Head; Jean Poy^ Library Assistant; two student assistants., Until next July Miss Wilson will be Working part time with government documents.

As well, it will probably be simpler to direct people wanting information about, or requests from the Branch, to Woodward. The Woodward Memorial Room houses the Woodward Historical Collection (history ®t medicine and science). Ass^ng the names --©f collections and funds represented .are Wellcome, Macintosh, and Leake.

STAFF LITERARY ENDEAVORS The Science Division recently published Scientific and Techni. cal Serials in the University of BritislTColumbia Library. "Copies of the publication have been sent to relevant depart- ments and reading rooms on the campus, and to a number of scientific and technical libraries in Canada and the U.S. Additional copies are on sale at the UBC Bookstore. Barbara Gibson, Cataloging Dept., in the April B.C. Library Quarterly (only recently published) discusses "Professional ethics for librarians". Have we read this? ADLIB, mouthpiece of the Library School, wishes to announce its rejuvenation after a yearfe absence from the publishing world. The first issue should be available in the waning weeks of November. ~ -^ PERSONALITIES Mrs. Helen Constable transferred from Gifts and Exchanges to the Science Division on October 1, 1964.
