PREFACE
It is with great pride and
pleasure that I present to you the
many accomplishments of the
talented, committed and productive
Library staff.
The vision of the 'Electronic
Library' and the focused priorities of
our Strategic Plan have kept us
moving ever forward in the
improvement of our services to
support UBC students, faculty and
staff, as well as the broader
community, in their pursuit of
learning, teaching and research.
Highlights of the past year
include:
♦ Continued integration of
electronic services into all parts of
the Library's information services.
♦ Continued efficiency and
improvement of services through
streamlining and integration
resulting from a review of all
services.
♦ Continued annual review and
cancellation of serial subscriptions
in light of devaluation of the
Canadian dollar and substantial
price increases for serials.
♦ Progress on all objectives of the
second year of the five year
technology plan: redevelopment
of the circulation system, and
online public access catalogue
upgrade.
♦ Continued detailed planning and
preparation for Phase I of the
new Central Library.
Challenges for next year include:
♦ Accelerated progress towards the
'Electronic Library'.
♦ Continued improvement in
organizational performance,
effectiveness and responsiveness.
♦ Meeting rising expectations from
users with constant or declining
resources.
My thanks to all the Library staff,
the many advisory committees,
especially the Senate Library
Committee, and the University
Administration, especially Dr. K. D.
Srivastava, Vice-President Student
and Academic Services, for engaging
in monumental efforts to achieve the
Library's mission: To provide
outstanding access to the universe of
recorded knowledge and information.

Electronic
services
are integrated
into all parts
of the
Library's
information
services
LIBRARY SERVICES
The Electronic Library
The Library continued to add
electronic resources, to develop and
enhance new services, and to
redesign service points as part of the
move toward the 'Electronic Library'
of the future as envisioned in the
Library's Strategic Plan. Electronic
services are integrated into all parts
of the Library's information
services. Bibliographic CD-ROM
and online databases are now the
main focus of reference service and
teaching in the Library. Other
electronic sources available range
from large numeric and imaging
databases to full-text literary works
to remote access to other library
catalogues and commercial
document delivery systems.
UBCLIB
UBCLIB, the Library's online
catalogue/information system, was
introduced in 1988 and continues to
grow. Users can search UBCLIB at
workstations located in all branches
and divisions or from their home or
office computers. UBCLIB provides
access to all Library holdings acquired
since 1977 and to many older
holdings. It also provides access to
items on order, index and abstract
files, B.C. union databases for media,
serials and archives, specialized
bibliographies, other library online
catalogues, document delivery
systems, VlewUBC (UBC's campus-
wide information system) and the
Internet.
UBCLIB provides a common
search interface to all local and index
and abstract files. The system also
links UBC holdings records to
circulation information so users can
determine if a book or journal is
available before making a trip to the
shelves.
Gateway, a new facility added to
UBCLIB during the reporting year,
takes the enquirer from UBCLIB to
remote locations, simply and direcdy.
The database and document supply
services Uncover and Citadel's Ei Page
One (Engineering Index) are available,
as well as the online library catalogues
and networked index and abstract
databases at Simon Fraser University
and the University of Victoria.
ViewUBC, the campus-wide
information system, was added to the
UBCLIB menu in September 1993.
UBC Library users are now patrons of
the 'Virtual Library' and can search
the catalogues of hundreds of libraries
around the world. ViewUBC lets users
connect to any Internet site in the
world and read and/or search
databases at these locations.
UBCLIB Statistics
♦ Total connect time by users outside
the Library 18,000 hours/year
♦ Online public access terminals
in the Library 115
♦ Public print/download workstations
in the Library 14
♦ Simultaneous users of UBCLIB
150-200
PlusNet2 & CD-ROMs
PlusNet2 supports Medline and a
number of other health sciences
databases on a networked information
system which supports remote access
for up to 20 simultaneous users. The
service permits students, faculty and
staff from the teaching hospitals and THE UNIVERSITY OF  BRITISH  COLUMBIA LIBRARY ANNUAL REPORT
XI
on campus to search from their offices
and laboratories. This platform will
soon be used to support databases in
the physical and social sciences.
CD-ROMs now form the core of
reference services in many parts of the
Library. The discs which can hold
more than 550 megabytes of
information contain journal indexes
and abstracts, full texts of newspapers
and dictionaries, statistical data, maps,
and graphics. Over seventy-five
CD-ROM and online databases
available in the Library are listed in
Appendix H, replacing the data on
mediated computer searching which
are no longer a meaningful reflection
of search activity in the Library.
CD-ROM workstations and
databases were introduced into the
Fine Arts Library and the Music
Library this year.
Library Instruction
Over 11,700 UBC students,
faculty and staff received instruction
in the Library during the reporting
year. Teaching sessions focused on the
use of electronic resources. The
program to teach students how to use
UBCLIB and CD-ROM databases
continued, using graduate students
employed with funds from the
Teaching and Learning Enhancement
program. Daily drop-in sessions for
UBCLIB were offered in Sedgewick
Library and tutorial sessions on CD-
ROM databases were given in the
Education Library, Woodward library,
Sedgewick Library, the Humanities
and Social Sciences Division, and the
Science and Engineering Division.
Use of the Internet has been
integrated into many subject specific
instruction sessions as a major
information resource. Student
evaluations are very positive.
Circulation
Using UBCLIB, users can now
renew books themselves and list
materials they have signed out. A new
fines policy approved in April 1993
requires late return fees to be levied on
all overdue items, not just those called
in by another borrower. The new
policy is intended to improve availability
of books at a time when the Library is
experiencing increasing demand for
materials but is buying fewer copies.
Circulation patterns in Appendix D
reflect changes in the organization and
location of collections. The Marjorie
Smith Social Work Library was
integrated into the Main and
Woodward Libraries in April 1992
resulting in increased circulation in
those locations. Main Library and
Fine Arts Library circulation were
integrated in spring 1993. Integration
of Wilson Recordings Collection with
the Sedgewick Library and the
reorganization of Sedgewick Library's
collection in preparation for the
building program will result in further
adjustments during the coming year.
Circulation statistics for the
Government Publications Division
have been excluded from Appendix D
because they reflect internal use
within the Main Library building,
reducing the total by approximately
100,000 transactions.
In 1992/93 the number of items
borrowed from the UBC Library's
collections was close to 2 million.
Current samples suggest that for
each volume circulated, two are
used in the Library. If the sample is
accurate, the total use of the collection
may be as high as six million. XI
THE UNIVERSITY OF  BRITISH COLUMBIA LIBRARY ANNUAL REPORT
In June 1993
the Senate
Library
Committee
approved the
proposal for the
Lam Library to
become a branch
of the UBC
Library system
Focus on Users
The Library continues to focus
on users to ensure that information
services and library access are
consistent with user needs. Liaison
programs are being developed in each
of the Library's public service units to
ensure closer collaboration with
students and faculty. Librarians meet
with faculty to discuss their
information needs, changes in Library
policy and collection development.
Library Faculty Advisory Committees
have been established for most of the
faculties, and meetings with the
Graduate Student Society have begun.
Science Outreach
ScInfoNet, the Science and
Engineering Outreach Library service,
was introduced in September 1992 to
improve use and awareness of science
information resources. The ScInfoNet
Librarian works in several reading
rooms and delivers services
electronically to users located long
distances from the Science and
Engineering Division in Main
Library. Services include online
searches, CD-ROM training,
assistance with current awareness and
classroom instruction. The current
awareness service has been an
outstanding success. In the first year
of operation, over 2,700 profiles have
been delivered electronically to over
130 faculty and graduate students.
Users report that the service saves
time and helps them find information
that would not have been found
through other means.
Branch Libraries
In June 1993 the Senate Library
Committee approved the proposal for
the Lam Library to become a branch
of the UBC Library system. The Lam
Library was established by the Faculty
of Commerce and Business Administration in 1985 with a $1 million
endowment from David Lam,
Lieutenant Governor of British
Columbia. Through a successful
fundraising campaign, the Faculty of
Commerce raised the money to
expand the Library and construct the
David Lam Management Research
Centre which opened in May 1992.
In the summer of 1993, over
25,000 volumes from the Main
Library's commerce collections were
integrated with 16,000 volumes
from the Lam Library.
Construction began on the new
Education Library during summer
1993 and is expected to be complete
by the fell of 1994.
The Data Library moved from
the Computer Sciences building to
the south wing of Main Library in
December 1992. Since its inception
in 1972, the Data Library has been
joindy administered by the UBC
Library and University Computing
Services (UCS). During the reporting
year, the Library and UCS agreed to
transfer responsibility for the Data
Library to the UBC Library. The
Library is committed to continuing
support of the Data Library as a core
information service.
Crane Memorial Library
celebrated its 25th anniversary in
1993.
In preparation for the Phase I
building, the Fine Arts Library
Circulation and the Main Library
Circulation Division were
integrated. Fine Arts Library users
now go to Main Circulation for
traces, holds, overdues and requests
for rush cataloguing. THE UNIVERSITY OF  BRITISH  COLUMBIA LIBRARY ANNUAL REPORT
zz
Sedgewick Library's two-hour
reserve was changed to a self-service
facility in the summer of 1993.
Circulation services in the Wilson
Recordings Collection were merged
with Sedgewick's and the CD
collection was moved to the
Sedgewick Reserve area. These
changes will reduce operating costs
and provide access to recordings over
longer hours.
The Extension Library, which
serves distance-education students,
moved from Sedgewick Library to
the seventh floor of the Main Library
in order to free space for Phase I
construction.
Resource Sharing
UBC Library remains committed
to resource sharing within the
province and elsewhere as the most
cost effective means to ensure that
UBC faculty, students and staff have
access to the information required.
The Library continues to
participate in the Association of
Research Libraries' reciprocal
agreements which provide interlibrary
loans at minimal cost. Through the
Council of Prairie and Pacific
University Libraries, UBC
participated in a federated
membership in the Inter-University
Consortium for Political and Social
Research which provides machine-
readable data files of primary research
information in the social sciences at a
significant saving over past years.
Through COPPUL, UBC is also
involved in two collections
rationalization projects: physics
journals and health sciences/medicine
journals. While these projects are
focusing initially on journals, it is
envisaged that eventually
inter-institutional collections policies
will be developed which incorporate
all formats of materials.
Negotiations are complete for
UBC to participate in DOCLINE, a
North American document delivery
management system amongst health
sciences libraries. Operated by the
U.S. National Library of Medicine,
DOCLINE allows automatic routing
between partner libraries based on
regional agreements. Implementation
is planned for the coming year.
The Library is an active partner
in the development of the B.C.
Electronic Library Network.
Databases mounted at UBC and
accessible to B.C. post-secondary
institution libraries include ERICand
Psyclnfb. Databases mounted at other
institutions include ABI/Inform, the
Wilson indexes and Canadian Business
& Current Affairs. The Uncover
database and document delivery
service is available to all members of
ELN including UBC at a lower cost
than would be possible through a
single institution subscription. Access
to the online, networked CANSIM
(Canadian Socio-economic Information
Management) database is a joint
project of the SFU and UBC data
libraries. The project permits UBC
researchers to access Canadian socioeconomic time series online from
Statistics Canada's CANSIM
University Base mounted at SFU.
The Library will continue to
focus on resource sharing
agreements to ensure fast and
economical access to print and
electronic information required by
UBC students and scholars. THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA LIBRARY ANNUAL REPORT

The review
encompassed
allpublic,
technical,
and support
services
in the Library
LIBRARY ORGANIZATION &
COMMUNICATION
Review of Services
The Library conducted a review
of all services during the fell of 1992.
The review was designed to help the
Library set priorities by addressing
some basic questions: What are our
current services? What is most
important? What should we enhance
or continue doing? What should we
change or stop doing? What new
services should we provide?
The review encompassed all
public, technical, and support services
in the Library. Four task groups
worked on the review: Circulation,
Shelving, Space and Preservation Task
Group; Collections Development and
ILL Task Group; "From Order to
Patron" Processing Task Group; and
Information Services Task Group.
The review assisted the Library
Administration in developing proposals
to provide more budget flexibility and
identified 6% of the Library's budget
for reallocation over two years to meet
budget shortfalls and to introduce
new programs and services.
Recommendations of the Task
Groups were reviewed by the Library
Planning and Management Council
and most recommendations were
accepted. Implementation teams were
appointed for each major focus of the
review recommendations: Access
Services (focusing on document
delivery), Core Services/User
Categories/Fees for Service, Library
Processing Reorganization, and
Service Points Reorganization.
Implementation priorities are
reflected in the accomplishments and
goals for the Library.
Collections Management Council
In addition to the Library
Planning and Management Council,
which was established in 1991/92, the
Library has set up a second internal
management group: the Collections
Management Council. The Council
will broaden the base of decisionmaking in collections. It is responsible
for dealing with policy and planning
issues regarding the Library's
acquisition program. During the
initial months it was chaired by Tony
Jeffreys, the Assistant University
Librarian for Collections (who is
retiring at the end of 1993). In the
future the Council will be chaired
by Janice Kreider, the new
Coordinator of Collections.
Membership includes members of the
Library Administration and the heads
of the larger divisions and branches. THE UNIVERSITY OF  BRITISH  COLUMBIA LIBRARY ANNUAL REPORT

UBC     LIBRARY
COLLECTIONS
In fhe fall of 1992, with the
devaluation of the Canadian dollar
and substantial price increases for
serials, the Library announced that
up to $1 million worth of
subscriptions might have to be
canceled over the following two years
in order to hold serials expenditures
at $4.25 million (65% of the
collections budget). This prediction
was based on the possible situation
of a rise of 20% in serials prices and
assumed no budget increases in each
of two years. The magnitude of the
potential problem the Library was
facing needed to be discussed widely
within the University community.
Extensive consultation took place
between the Library and faculty
members, student groups, the
University Administration, and the
Senate Library Committee. In
March, the Senate Library Committee
unanimously approved a proposal to
address the shortfall in the collections
budget for serials.
Improvements in exchange rates
allowed for an assumption of a 10%
increase in costs in 1993/94 rather
than the 20% which had been
experienced in 1992/93 and predicted
for 1993/94. A revised budget
increase formula was adopted for
Library acquisitions which resulted in
a 5% to 6% annual increase for 1993/
94, including components for
inflation, exchange rate changes, and
new materials. In addition, $77,000
was transferred permanently from the
binding budget to the collections
budget, and one-time funding from
the Library's Acquisitions
Stabilization Fund was authorized to
be used in 1992/93 and 1993/94 as
needed to offset serials costs. These
changes allowed the Library to keep
the serials cancellations to $200,000.
There was a detailed review of
serials subscriptions in all subject
areas, and consultation with users
about those being considered for
cancellation. The dollar value of the
cancellations was weighted toward the
science, medicine and law areas
because cost increases in the last few
years have tended to be greatest
amongst these subjects.
The Library continues to support
the work of the Association of
Research Libraries (ARL) in seeking
changes to the serials publishing
process which will limit the large cost
increases which have been a hallmark
of the last decade. The means of
achieving this goal are likely to be the
increased use of electronic publishing
and greater involvement of non-profit
agencies as publishers. The Library
and the Senate Library Committee
will be seeking to heighten discussion
of this issue on campus.
There has been an improvement
in access to serials from remote
sources, both by membership in
commercial document supply services
such as Uncover and Citadel, and by
pilot programs of cooperation
between libraries.
Work on the development of
collections policies continued
during the reporting year. Policies
have been completed for
Humanities and Social Sciences,
Science and Engineering, Special
Collections, Life Sciences,
Education Library and Data
Library. THE UNIVERSITY OF  BRITISH COLUMBIA LIBRARY ANNUAL REPORT
A new version

was introduced
infanuary
1993
AUTOMATION &
TECHNOLOGY
Progress was made on all
objectives in the second year of the
Five Year Technology Plan.
Redevelopment of the
circulation system was the major
focus of activity. Several new
features were implemented by
September 1993 including a self-
service renewal feature on UBCLIB,
the Library's online catalogue. The
Asian Library and David Lam Library
were also converted to the new
circulation system.
Work continued on the Online
Public Access Catalogue upgrade
project. A new version ofUBCLIB
with improved searching options and
a merged catalogue inquiry file was
introduced in January 1993. In April,
a Gateway facility was added to
UBCLIB. Gateway provides direct
access to two online commercial
services, Uncover and Citadel, and two
B.C. online library catalogues, Simon
Fraser University and the University
ofVictoria.
In September 1993, a Gopher
client was implemented to provide
access from UBCLIB to ViewUBC,
the UBC campus-wide information
service. The UBCLIB Gopher client
allows UBC students and faculty to
access the Internet from terminals in
the Library or from their home or
office computers, without specialized
equipment or software.
Additional UBCLIB inquiry
stations were installed bringing the
number of stations to just over one
hundred. Print/download
workstations were also installed in all
major branches and divisions. In
conjunction with University
Computing Services, the Library
introduced a "pass through" facility
for UBCLIB on the campus
network's dial-in system. Subsidized
by the Library, this facility allows
users to continue to have free dial-in
access to the Library's system.
The migration of the LDMS
system to the UNIX operating
environment continued during the
reporting year. Systems staff fine
tuned the support for the new
circulation system and the new
version ofUBCLIB, and started work
on the migration of the Library's
other major applications. The
Library's software is performing
efficiendy and effectively on the
UNIX computers; UBCLIB is
operated on a single machine and
comfortably supports between 170
and 200 simultaneous users. Response
time has improved dramatically.
Two more UNIX computers
were acquired bringing the total
complement to five. One of these
machines was purchased by the B.C.
Electronic Library Network (ELN)
and had the Library's software and
databases installed on it. This
machine is intended for use by other
ELN members, especially for
databases with shared user licenses. It
has reduced the load on the Library's
computers and also serves as a backup
for UBCLIB. THE UNIVERSITY OF  BRITISH  COLUMBIA LIBRARY ANNUAL REPORT
XI
TECHNICAL SERVICES
During the reporting year,
selected staff in Technical Services
spent a considerable amount of time
participating in the review of services.
The organization of central
processing, workflows, and priorities
were reviewed in order to determine if
Technical Services could reallocate
staff to achieve improved services.
Several initiatives are now underway
based on recommendations from the
Library Services Review Task Groups.
Library Processing Centre
Reorganization
During the summer of 1993,
staff from the Catalogue Records
Division, Catalogue Products
Division, and Order Division were
reorganized into two processing
divisions: the Catalogue Division and
the Order Division.
The Catalogue Records Division
and staff from the Catalogue
Maintenance Unit in the Catalogue
Products Division were merged to
form the new Catalogue Division.
Staff from the Book Preparations
Unit of the Catalogue Products
Division joined the Order Division.
The new organizational structure
centralizes cataloguing activities in
one division, augments staffing in
high priority areas, and makes more
effective use of management staff.
The Collections Accounting and
Budget Division now reports to the
Library's Financial and Budget
Manager.
Books to Branches Project
Planning for the Books to
Branches Project was completed. The
project will relocate part of the
uncatalogued backlog from the
Library Processing Centre to selected
divisions and branches. Selected
incoming material will be prepared
for circulation by the Book
Preparations Unit directly after receipt
and sent to the appropriate branch
until it is recalled for cataloguing.
The Books to Branches Project
will allow self-service use of our
newest material in a timely manner,
adjustment of priorities within the
Catalogue Division without
increasing workloads on staff, more
efficient production from Catalogue
Division staff due to anticipated
reduction in "rush" traces for
uncatalogued material, and
continuation of the practice of waiting
for MARC catalogue copy.
Implementation of the project will
begin in 1993/94.
Catalogue Division
Reorganization
A Task Group has reviewed the
organization and workflow of the
Catalogue Division.
Recommendations included
reorganizing the unit structures,
reviewing job descriptions of the
senior Library Assistants, and
upgrading a number of Library
Assistant positions in accordance with
cataloguing priorities established
during the review. Work on the
reorganization will continue during
the coming year.
During the reporting year, the
cataloguing backlog was reduced from
75,022 to 62,509 titles. Cataloguing
efficiency was improved by assigning
priority to English language materials
which led to a decrease in rush traces
(from 5,488 to 4,296). XI
THE UNIVERSITY OF  BRITISH COLUMBIA LIBRARY ANNUAL REPORT
Library staff

intensively on
planning the
organization
of the
new space
LIBRARY SPACE
& EQUIPMENT
During the reporting year, the
Predesign Report for Phase I of the
new Central Library and the Design
Development Report were completed.
Work then began on the architectural
details, schedules, and specifications,
due in early autumn of 1993. Phase I
is scheduled for completion in
September 1995.
Library staff worked intensively
on planning the organization of the
new space. Since Phase I will not be
large enough to accommodate the
humanities and social sciences
collections which are presendy housed
in the Main Library, many
compromises have had to be made to
ensure that the new building
functions as effectively as possible
until the construction of Phase II
provides the additional space needed to
house the collections in their entirety.
In December 1992, the Data
Library moved into the Main Library
and the budget for the programmer/
analyst position was transferred into
the Library's budget. During the
summer of 1993, approximately
25,000 volumes were moved from the
Main Library to the new David Lam
Library. In anticipation of the
construction of Phase I, temporary
office space was built in Sedgewick
Library and the Extension Library was
moved to the Main Library.
Installation of an emergency
lighting system in the Main Library
was completed by the end of 1992.
Compact shelving has been installed
in the Library Processing Centre. This
provides more than 2,500 additional
shelves and allows various locations
throughout the Library system to
store overflow materials.
Work on bracing stacks to
withstand seismic activity continued
in several areas of the Library system.
A project to provide workstations for
the new circulation system equipment
is still in progress, and is expected to
be completed in late 1993.

PRESERVATION
The Canadian Cooperative
Preservation Project, funded by a
grant from the Andrew W. Mellon
Foundation, ended in June 1993.
The Library's share of the Mellon
grant amounted to $175,000. The
project produced 413 reels of
35mm preservation microfilm,
consisting mainly of British
Columbia government and
University publications.
A preservation project to
microfilm the British Columbia
Sessional Papers is now underway in
the Library. This project, which is
being done on a cost recovery basis,
has been funded in part from a private
grant, with the remainder of the costs
to be recovered from sales of the set.
The Library Assistant 3 in the
Mendery received further training and
equipment. Increased staff expertise
allows the Library to restore and
preserve volumes in their original
bindings. This capability is especially
important for volumes with ornate
bindings where in past years our
options would have been either to
send an item out for restoration by a
private conservator or to rebind the
text block, thus destroying the
original binding.
As part of Library preservation
activities, the Facilities and
Preservation Manager organized staff
sessions on disaster preparedness, fire
extinguishers, and security.
ii THE UNIVERSITY OF  BRITISH COLUMBIA LIBRARY ANNUAL REPORT
UBC     LIBRA
In the summer
ofl993,
the Advisory
Committee
developed a
preliminary
draft of a
records
management
policy for UBC
UNIVERSITY ARCHIVES
Over the past year the University
Archives, in conjunction with the
University Archives Advisory
Committee, prepared proposals for
coordinating the development and
implementation of a general
institutional information
management program, as specified in
the recommendations of the
University Archives Advisory
Committee's report Toward an
Integrated Records Management
Prog-am at UBC. The
recommendations included
conducting a survey of the
University's administrative records,
developing an institutional records
management policy, and hiring a
Records Management Coordinator.
The Committee was successful in
realizing these objectives.
The Library received funding for
the records survey which was
conducted between July 1992 and
March 1993. The survey revealed that
the University's administrative records
total almost 35,000 feet and expand
at a rate of approximately 4,000 feet
per year. In the absence of general
guidelines for records retention, there
is a large number of records of
questionable value being retained as
well as duplication throughout the
system. Moreover, permanently
valuable records have not been
identified and preserved in any
systematic manner and, as a
consequence, there are gaps in the
institution's documentary record.
In the summer of 1993, the
Advisory Committee developed a
preliminary draft of a records
management policy for UBC. The
draft policy will be circulated for
discussion by the University
community before its presentation to
the UBC Board of Governors for
approval.
The University approved funding
for the position of Records Analyst/
Archivist which will be filled early in
the fell of 1993. During the summer
of 1993 the Archives sponsored a
summer practicum student from the
Master of Archival Studies program.
The University Archivist started
working with members of the
University Administration to develop
a policy on the Freedom of
Information and Protection of Privacy
legislation which will be extended to
the University in the fall of 1994.
12 THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA LIBRARY ANNUAL REPORT
HUMAN RESOURCES
Staff Establishment
Budget reductions and
reallocations at the conclusion of the
1992/93 fiscal year resulted in the loss
of over 11 full-time equivalent
positions (3.16%) from the Library's
current staff establishment, plus 2
additional positions left vacant by
early retirements. A new professional
position was added to the
establishment in the Special
Collections and University Archives
Division in recognition of the
Library's new responsibility for
coordinating the management and
retention of the University's
administrative records. At the
conclusion of the reporting year the
Library's staff totalled 344 positions:
90 librarians, 7 management and
professional (M&P), and 247
support staff and technicians. Ten
positions are funded through cost
recoveries and grants.
All position reductions were
achieved without layoffs through a
policy of leaving the positions that fell
vacant during the year unfilled. Onetime savings from these vacancies
prior to year-end were reallocated to
the purchase of ergonomic furniture
and equipment for staff and other
urgent needs.
Staff Training & Development
The Staff Training and
Development Committee completed
its first year of active operation,
implementing the comprehensive
plan developed in 1991/92. Following
the advice of Susan Jurow of the
Association of Research Libraries'
Office of Management Services, the
major emphasis of the program this
year was to address the first three
phases or levels of training:
orientation/socialization, core skills
training (computer, supervisory &
management, and ergonomics
awareness), and enhancement of
learned skills (customer service). Some
programs also addressed the fourth
and fifth phases: training for changing
or new roles, and career development.
In all, the 171 courses or sessions
attracted about 678 attendees.
The Library, in cooperation
with the University's Department of
Occupational Health and Safety,
sponsored several workshops for
staff on repetitive strain injuries.
The sessions were designed to
provide information to help staff
prevent these injuries.
Professional Staff
Organizational changes brought
new responsibilities to a number of
librarians. Lee Perry, History of
Medicine Librarian in the Woodward
Library, became the Life Sciences
Bibliographer. In preparation for the
retirement of Tony Jeffreys, Nadine
Baldwin added the responsibilities of
Assistant University Librarian for
Technical Services to those of her
existing position as Head of the Order
Division for a two-year term. Janice
Kreider was appointed Coordinator of
Collections (half-time). She will
continue her position as Science
Bibliographer (half-time) in addition
to her new assignment. Nick
Omelusik became Head of the newly
unified Catalogue Division. Elizabeth
Caskey was appointed Head of the
new David Lam Library for a two year
period starting September 1, 1993.
Two librarians were granted
confirmed appointments during the
reporting year: Lynne Redenbach,

staff with over
61 years of
service to the
Library
among them

the year
Circulation Division and Extension
Library; and David Reimer, Head of
the Music Cataloguing Unit,
Catalogue Division.
Judith Thiele, reference librarian,
teacher, and co-founder of the Crane
Library, passed away in April 1993.
She is sadly missed by her students,
patrons, and colleagues.
Joyce Davidson, Head,
Collections Accounting and Budget
Division, returned from a
professional leave during which she
examined factors affecting
relationships between libraries and
book vendors. Erik de Bruijn,
Assistant University Librarian for
Administrative Services, began a
professional leave to continue his
research related to automation and its
effect on human resource utilization
in academic libraries. Jeanie Ku,
Human Resources Generalist, carried
out day-to-day personnel activities in
Erik's absence. Joseph Jones,
Reference Librarian, Humanities and
Social Sciences Division, began a
professional leave to complete a guide
to reference materials for Canadian
literature in English.
Support Staff
The support staff severance rate
returned to 17% after falling to 15%
in 1991/92. The turnover rate (the
percentage of positions which change
hands during the year, as compared
to the establishment) fell from 46%
to 30% as many vacancies were left
unfilled. Organizational changes
resulted in new duties or work
locations for several support staff.
When circulation activities in the
Fine Arts Library were transferred to
the Main Library Circulation
Division, three positions moved with
them. The amalgamation of the
Wilson Recordings Collection with
Sedgewick Reserve in preparation for
construction of Phase I of the new
Central Library allowed one of the
Wilson positions to be reassigned to
the Law Library to replace a vacant
position.
Three valued members of the
support staff with over 61 years of
service to the Library among them
retired during the year: Branko
Blazicevic, Library Assistant 4 in the
Slavic Cataloguing Unit of the
Catalogue Division; Janice Ray,
Library Assistant 2, Woodward
Library; and Joyce Harries, Library
Assistant 5, Main Library Circulation
Division. In addition, a 25-year
employee, Brian Varty, Library
Assistant 4 in the Main Library
Circulation Division, took Long
Term Disability leave in August 1993.
Three staff members were
reclassified to reflect increased job
responsibilities: LA 1 to LA 2 (Copy
Service); LA 2 to LA 3 (Humanities
and Social Sciences Division); and IA
3 to LA 4 (Special Collections and
Archives Division).
Student Employment
The Library's regular budget of
$1.2 million for student assistants and
hourly staff was again supplemented
by funding from the Work Study and
Challenge student employment
programs. The Library is one of the
major employers of students on
campus, providing over 94,000 hours
of paid employment annually.
14 THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA LIBRARY ANNUAL REPORT
XI
BUDGET
The Library's 1992/93 Operating
Budget allocations continued the
established pattern of 63% for salaries
and wages. Funding for Collections
slipped from 32% to 31%, and the
portion designated for supplies,
services and equipment increased
from 5% to 6% as $400,000 in onetime funding was directed to the
Library Automation Project. No
funding was available to cover non-
salary inflation for any university unit,
but the Library did receive increases to
its Collections budget for new
materials and to offset the effects of
foreign exchange fluctuations.
The financial situation for the
University became increasingly
difficult during the year, with the
result that most faculties and service
units, including the Library, had
budget cuts for the 1993/94 fiscal
year. The Library's portion of the cut
was $525,000 (2.41% of its operating
budget). In anticipation of the
shortfall, a university-wide hiring
freeze went into effect in January.
Nine vacant support staff positions
and four vacant librarian positions
(over 11 FTE in all) were lost
permanently.
The initial Operating Budget for
1993/94 indicates that restraint and
reallocation of resources will continue
to be the order of the day. Partial
funding for the new Archivist's
position was returned to the Library.
The Collections Budget's formula-
based increase provided a permanent
addition of $367,000 (5.7%) to the
base budget. And $205,000 in onetime funding was designated for
completion of the Library
Automation Project. On the other
hand, there was again no general
increase to cover inflation on supplies,
services and equipment, and the
amount of increase required to cover
librarians' salaries is uncertain pending
the outcome of an arbitrated
settlement between the University
and the Faculty Association.
Salaries & Wages
Salaries and wages were under-
expended as positions were held
vacant during the year. Some onetime savings from these positions
went to purchase much needed
ergonomic furniture, computer
workstations, and booktrucks for staff.
Difficulties in implementing the new
Integrated Human Resources
Information System (IHRIS) in the
Human Resources and Financial
Services Departments of the
University led to many payroll
problems for Library employees
which had to be investigated and
resolved during the year. Internal
systems were established to control
and report on expenditures from the
student assistant budget and savings
from staff vacancies.
Collections
The Collections budget had a
difficult year, with the prospect of
massive serials cancellations being
required to cover serials price
increases, inflation, and unfavourable
exchange rates. A combination of
some cancellations, funding
reallocations, fine revenues, and
improved exchange rates kept
expenditures within bounds.
Supplies, Services, & Equipment
Expenditures on supplies, services
and equipment were up substantially
over 1991/92 as a result of the onetime spending on the Library

Operating
Budget
whenever
opportunities
arise
Automation Project, replacement of
obsolete library security equipment
and one of the Library's two 14
year-old delivery vans, and the
salary savings redirected to
equipment for staff.
Cost Recoveries
Gross cost recoveries increased
12% over 1991/92. Approximately
60% of this increase came from the
PATSCAN service revenues, which
were transferred permanendy to the
Operating Budget along with their
associated expenditures. Increased
Copy Service revenues account for
most of the remaining increase, and
these too were offset by increased
expenditures for the higher volume of
service.
As a result of changes in the
University's Financial Services area,
the Library took on responsibility for
processing its own accounts
receivable, and verification of cash
deposits to Library accounts had to be
centralized in the Librarian's office.
Grant Funding
The Library seeks grant funding
to supplement its Operating Budget
whenever opportunities arise. Benefits
from successful applications over the
past year include:
Teaching & Learning
Enhancement Fund
♦ Funding to continue and
enhance the UBCLIB and
CD-ROM teaching program.
