The Report of the University Librarian to the, Senate 1956/1957 LET US APOLOGIZE NO MORE, the Director of Harvard University Library admonishes his colleagues. There has been over-much talk, he suggests, about the mounting cost of book collections —for libraries grow to meet the need of faculties, and if new programs require an increase in library funds, the blame should not be laid at the library's door. Rather, librarians are at fault if they fail to sense the rising need and do not cry out that libraries can be ignored only at the gravest peril. "Let us apologize no more but proudly assert that the library is a vital organ of the university"; let us "stop talking about how much we cost and ... begin emphasizing what we contribute." Without a quality library a quality education is impossible; without a superior book collection a first-rate faculty cannot be obtained. Although methods and fashions in education change, each generation uses the library to realize its aims. As long as universities prize the goals of research, an investment in the library will guarantee returns for centuries to come. In order to develop our intellectual resources, maintain free access to ideas, and insure the functioning of the untrammelled mind, we must assiduously enrich the library's working collections. Looking Backward We have compared ourselves heretofore with other institutions in order to measure our accomplishments against existing scales. It may now be more important to observe our position in an evolutionary process, to find where we stand in relation to the past and future. In the following table certain aspects of the Library's history are compressed into convenient ten-year glimpses: Evolutionary Development, 1915-1957 (by decades) A B C D E F G 7~H Book -, Book Undg.

There has been a striking growth in the University's curriculum (column D), and library materials for day-to-day course use have been a major drain upon financial resources (A). The book stock prior to the mid-1940s (B) did not exceed in size that considered satisfactory for a good four year college, and this is reflected in the scarcity of graduate degrees conferred (G). Except for recent developments in doctoral studies in some of the science disciplines, there has been no real increase in graduate work independent of University enrollment (C, G). In I925/26 and in 1956/57 the number of master's degrees awarded was in almost the same ratio to the total of registered students (1.25% and 1.33%), The development of graduate studies has been retarded by a lack of library facilities. From the beginning of the University, library resources have been strongest in some of the natural sciences, but beyond a few of these specializations advanced work has been slow to materialize. Yet, even if we maintain only a fixed ratio of advanced students to total enrollment, we shall have a large graduate school forced upon us by the sheer pressure of increasing numbers. Research collections must be systematically extended in fields of graduate interest or we shall fail miserably to cope with impending conditions. Productivity can be achieved only after some years of planned acquisitions. We cannot in areas of serious study adopt a development program to meet only the immediate needs of faculty members. Such a multiplicity of interests requires connective tissue to build the growing body of knowledge which will be essential to a major university. Looking Backward—Fiscal Review During the fiscal period 1956/57 the following amounts have been expended upon books, periodicals, and binding (with comparable figures for two previous years): 1956/57* 1955/56 1954/55 Library |$7,00$,00 $$3,75$.10 $73,323.6$ Medicine 29,346.65 30,526.40 34,0$0.56 Law $,77$.11 $,$99.$$ $,530.69 Education 4,53$.04 Non-University 16,380.50 11,915.59 13,729.65 Totals $146,051.30 $135,098.97 $129,664.5$ *For more detailed statistics, see Appendix A. Of this annual expenditure, $122,196.94 was for books and periodicals, and $24,500.3o for binding. About 26% of the total funds for books and journals was spent in two special areas (Medicine, Law), 10% upon smaller special projects (Education, Canadiana, Slavonic Studies, Asian Studies, and History special), with 64% going into some forty standard fields (last year 29%, 7%, and 64%). It will be noted that this year's expenditures exceeded last year's by $10,962.33, of which increase $6,497.42 came from the University (including a special grant of $4,53$.04 for Education) and $4,464.91 from outside sources. There was an increase of only $3,$50 in the Library's formal budget for books. Expenditures for all Library purposes was $47.46 per student ($52.$4 last year, $55-77 the year before); and the ratio of Library to total University costs (omitting capital items) was 4.5% (5.2% in 1955/56, 5.6% in 1954/55). These figures have been steadily decreasing, and although they do not have absolute meaning, they suggest the position of the Library in the total fiscal picture. Chicago, Virginia, Cornell, Duke, California, and UCLA spend at least twice as much per student, and our neighbors, Oregon and Washington, somewhat exceed our rate. The problem of gathering together in the Library budget all funds for library purposes which are derived from University sources has not been squarely faced. New Faculties may be initiated with operating budgets segregated from other funds in order to protect the existing establishment from being penalized by the new costs. As these undertakings become stabilized and a part of normal University activities, their library funds should appear under the budget heading of the University Library as a matter of course. Otherwise the influence is divisive and the Librarian is responsible for the use of grants over which he has no control. Looking Backward—Acquisitions and Use The year's additions to the book stock totaled 32,2$3 volumes (compared with 20,946 in 1955/56), of which 14,540 were bound journals (9,951). This is a record rate of increase (54%) and is also the largest number of accessions in any one year. (See Appendix A-2.) Several thousand volumes of this increase were received from the Vancouver Normal School when it was absorbed by the University, and the material was processed under conditions of extreme pressure late in the summer of 1956 before the opening of the new College of Education. Other operations were almost stalled by this overload, but the processing divisions somehow met the emergency. These net figures do not include other types of material received during the period: 33,962 recorded but uncataloged publications of governments and international agencies received in the Reference Division (31,071 in 1955/56), 2,093 maps (2,413), quantities of pamphlets, micro-reproductions, and a large volume of publications in Chinese, Japanese, and Slavic languages which are shelved but not yet recorded in the public catalog. There were 219 new journal subscriptions placed (203), as listed in Appendix B. The most notable acquisitions are reported in Appendix C♦ The number of books borrowed at the main Loan Desk during the year increased by 14,447 (13%) over the previous period, while volumes lent in the Reserve Book Room decreased again, this time by 2,$01 (or -3.1%); see Appendix P. There was a increase in the number of students registered, compared with 1955/56. Since 1952/53, when student enrollment reached its postwar low, the relationship between number of students and volume of books loaned at the two main desks has been as follows: Student Enrollment in Relation to Recorded Loan of Books As represented by percentage of change from previous year (Increase unless otherwise noted) Loans Main Res. Bk Total Year Enrollment Desk Room 1953/54 2.7% 1954/55 7.5% 1955/56 $.2% 1956/57 20% 4-year 43% 35% 32% 34% period While there has been a 34% increase in the Quantity of material borrowed from the Division during the last four years, the number of students has risen by 43%. Two procedural changes affecting the statistics kept should be noted: the loan period for much Reserve Book Room material has been extended from two hours to a day or more, reducing the number of 2-hour transactions; and access to the bookstack has been liberalized so that use of material in the stack area has doubtless increased. It is likely, however, that Library use has not kept pace with larger enrollments, and this may stem from longer line-ups at the public catalog and desks making use more difficult. Without an open-shelf library for all undergraduates, we shall hardly know what normal use can be. 3.$% 26% 13% $.6% 17% _ 13^° , 5.$% - 7.5% - 0.6% 3% - 3.1% 5% 7 Interlibrary loans totaled 465 items borrowed during the year and 1,257 lent (523 and 1,17$ in 1955/56), a healthy balance in our favor. Materials were secured from $7 institutions and loaned to 161. It should be observed, however, that while we borrowed about 50% of the volumes from the United States, 25% from Canada outside of British Columbia, and 25% from B. C, our loans were distributed in the reverse order: 70% to libraries in British Columbia, 20% to the rest of Canada, and 10% to the U. S. We are, therefore, still considerably in debt to a number of institutions. As the National Bibliographic Centre in Ottawa and the new Union List of Scientific Serials (issued by the National Research Council) come into use, more self-sufficiency among Canadian libraries and a better credit balance may ensue.

Forest Service, 21; University of Manitoba, 20; etc. $ Increasing Pressures Upon Staff The utilization of the Library depends upon staff, book collections, and users, in that order. The importance of staff in this relationship is seldom fully recognized, for library users are prone to overlook what does not appear to bear upon their immediate purpose. More than a million staff hours, during the last decade alone, underlie the current level of Library use, and without this great backlog of disciplined effort, no library facilities could possibly exist. In building the collections, providing a maximum of access to them, and in making the Library a teaching department as well as a University service, staff resources are preeminent and must be steadily reinforced. Student registration in the last four years of advancing enrollment has risen 43%, and loans at the main public desks 34%. On other Library fronts, book funds have grown 3$% and the size of the book stock 34%. Of 91,700 volumes added, nearly 44,000 have passed through the Bindery. Some 126,000 government publications and pamphlets have been received and recorded. Close to 40,000 book orders have been placed, a half million catalog cards prepared, a million recorded loans made, and some 400 hours of formal instruction given. Other thousands of hours of direct assistance to the public must be entered here un-detailed. During this same period, the staff has increased 19%, of which only 4% was in the professional group. Summer Session, 1957, with an enrollment of 3,502 (1,823 in 1956, an increase of 92%) brought a term-time appearance to desks and reading rooms. This concentrated 7-week program brings students pouring into the Library and leaves little opportunity for staff recuperation. Short-term clerical employees (in lieu of winter student assistants) help to carry the heavier load. A Curriculum Laboratory for the College of Education has also been established in"the Library to cope with elementary and secondary text books and material relating to lesson plans. Users resort to the general Library for books of subject content. Formal instruction of students requires more staff time as the size of the freshman group increases; and 4$ sections of 1st year English replaced the 35 of last year. With 50, 60, and 70 sections in prospect, this stimulus to self-education may disappear from the curriculum if specific provision is not soon made for it. The Library Delivery Service laid down some 9,000 volumes at the doorstep's of faculty during the year, on the campus and at the Biomedical Branch. A similar number of books were probably returned by the same means. Looking Forward—Book Funds The Library's funds for books comprised 2% of the total operational budget of the University in 1956/57—and in a very real sense this critical factor determines the ultimate course of higher education in British Columbia. Earlier paragraphs may seem to boast of our recent increases in book-buying power, but in fact the past year's University grant exceeded the previous amount by only $3,$50 (enough to subscribe to the new journals and add 250 more books). With science, sociology, medicine, and international studies rapidly becoming space-bound, there is a most urgent exigency to support graduate studies and research on an unparalleled scale. The Library must be the centre of such a newly emphasized program. The library costs of this more active program will be large in relation to the scale of our past thinking. The proposal to 10 provide a "college library" for undergraduates—with an open shelf collection of 40,000 volumes in a room planned for reading by young people—will cost $100,000 for books alone. To proceed with dispatch toward a major program of advanced studies and research, the annual book fund must be increased over a two or three year period by not less than $100,000 a year, of which half should be expected from sources in the community. These are not fanciful proposals but are part of the essential cost of a university of high rank, and they cannot be avoided in western Canada, We are already well launched into a program of this magnitude. Undergraduate facilities. Even in its simpler college days, the University did not provide a true college library for its students: books on open shelves, in plenty of copies, offering a variety of material beyond bare course requirements. The independent use of books has not been encouraged either by making assigned reading easy or by tempting the reader to walk among well stocked shelves and pick freely those books which may have ripened to his taste. Only the Sedgewick Memorial fund has been set up to provide an opportunity of this kind. Research materials. There has been greater success recent ly~Tn~^eTel^plinf^~7e"search collections, though the field is broader than we have yet had opportunity to till. The expenditure of |30,000 to $35,000 a year in the field of the Biomedical sciences since 1951, and of $$,000 or $9,000 annually in Law, has brought quite remarkable results, and special appropriations promise similar success for the field of Education. Grants of some $20,000 from the Rockefeller Foundation inaugurated the collection for Slavonic Studies, which has since been supported by a fund in honour of Dr. William J. Rose, contributed by Mr. Walter C Koerner. Two grants from the Carnegie Corporation for French-Canadian Studies, totaling $12,000, are being augmented by local contributions for the purchase of Canadiana: the annual grant from Dr. and. Mrs. Thomas Ingledow, an initial fund from the Men's Canadian Club of Vancouver, and assistance received in response to applications to the Leon and Thea Koerner Foundation. 11 A substantial 3-year subsidy for the acquisition of research materials in the humanities and social sciences is being made by Mr. Walter Koerner, which will have a permanent and telling effect upon advanced studies in these fields. Two grants for the humanities from the Leon and Thea Koerner Foundation have also been received, and over $2,000 from a hundred Friends of the Library during the first year of the organization's history. More than $3,000 contributed to the memorial fund for the late Professor of Canadian History, Dr. Gilbert Tucker, was spent upon historical documents. Gifts of rare and significant historical publications have again been made by one of the city's most active book collectors, Dr. H. R. MacMillan, and he has also continued his longtime support of the Forestry collections. Such disparate fields of interest as Asian Studies and Fisheries have received grants-in-aid from University friends in industry. It appears that, as a beginning, about $25,000 a year is now forthcoming from non-University sources for the purchase of library materials. There is a desperate need for additional funds for library materials for the Asian Studies program ($15,000 a year for several years if serious work is to be done). Large scale additions must be made to collections in the fields of English and American literature, music and the fine arts, French literature, linguistics, classics, to the closely interlocking fields of his ory, mediaeval and Renaissance studies, and comparative religion (for which a number of large and expensive sets are required) and for basic sets in many areas of the physical and life sciences. A minimum of $3,500 will be reauired next year for the acquisition of new journal titles, and this will not meet all of the faculty requests received. These needs are urgent, and aid must come or important years will be wasted. University, federal, provincial, and private funds must flow together into this great reservoir of learning. 12 Looking Forward—Personnel In response to last year's comment that "some quite radical change" in the conditions of employment of professional librarians would have to be made if a Library of high standing is to be attained, a new "Academic-Professional" classification was created and the salary floor raised from $3,100 to $3,600. Although the changes have not yet been reflected in statistics of service, there is little doubt that both immediate and long range effects will be beneficial. The relationship of professional librarians to other academic personnel was reviewed by the Faculty Association in 1954/55, and in the following year all professional staff were made eligible for membership. In December 1956 the Senate Library Committee surveyed the problems involved, making a series of specific recommendations to the President in January 1957. These went before a sub-committee of the President's Senior Appointments Committee which passed its revisions on to the President and Board of Governors. On July 1, 1957, the following changes were made: (1) A new category of "Academic-Professional Personnel" was established for Librarians in the I to III categories. (2) Librarians become eligible immediately upon employment to participate in the University Superannuation Plan, insurance scheme, and other privileges of the faculty group. (3) Beginning with 1957/5$, the vacation period is extended from three weeks to a month. (4) The salary floor was advanced from $3,100 to $3,600, with proportionate increases extended through the several classes. Librarians I to III retain a salary scale. (5) Upon recommendation by the University Librarian, professional staff with advanced qualifications may be transferred from the Librarian II to the Librarian III classification without reference to the existing "establishment." It must be noted that before the new salary floor was approved, the model upon which it was patterned (beginning rate for Instructor) had already advanced another $500, and that beginning salary rates for librarians on the North American 13 continent were nearer $4,200. Nevertheless, at report time the new base was the highest among Canadian universities, though equalled or surpassed by several public libraries. For this real "break through" in status and pay the University Librarian and staff express appreciation to individuals both in faculty and administration who were more than formally concerned about the outcome of the discussions. As the level of faculty salaries rises, the income of the professional library staff must similarly increase, for if the Library is to obtain people of faculty calibre, the same kind of salaries will have to be paid. It can be reported that important adjustments were also made in the pay scales of the non-professional staff, amounting to two "steps" for most of the clerical group, and that the seriously underpaid "Junior Clerical" category was eliminated. The scale for Library Assistants was also raised and extended. The high rate of turnover in these groups, as indicated in the following table, indicates that such attention was badly needed. Turnover of staff. During the report year 35 persons left the Library's employment, of a total of 69 staff members: a turnover of 50% (compared with 66% last year). Of these 4 were professional librarians, of a total of 26 (a turnover of 15%); 17 were Library Assistants, of 16 such positions (a loss of 106%); and 14 were in the Clerical group totaling 27 (51%). The average length of service was as follows (omitting from this count five long-time professional members with service ranging from 19 to 421 years): 14 Average (Mean) Service in Months 1956/57 1955/56 1954/55 1953/54 1952/53 All Staff 30.3 30.6 33 35.1 27.5 Professional 43-3 49-2 42 35.9 23 Other 23.6 22 2$ 34.4 32 The average length of service for employed professional staff (omitting the five mentioned) is three and a half years, while the median for this group is only 15 h months. One position remained unfilled for eight months (Librarian II). (See Appendix E, list of Library Staff; Appendix F, Professional Activities of the staff.) Miss Dorothy Jefferd retired from the Library staff this year, having completed forty-two and a half years in University service. In January 1915, before the opening of the University in September, she and Mr. John Ridington began to unpack the 22,000 volumes and 7,000 pamphlets which were being shipped from Great Britain and Europe by Mr. James T. Gerould (an agent of the Board of Governors who had been sent to acquire a basic stock for the Library). From then until June 1954, when she resigned as Head of the Cataloging Division, she either cataloged or supervised the cataloging of every book in the collection. She continued as a senior cataloger until the end of June 1957, a vigorous member of the University staff and a symbol of the continuum of human effort and skill which goes into the formation of a great academic institution. More, and more experienced, personnel in all categories will be required to keep the Library from being overwhelmed by the increasing responsibilities in all departments, and to provide the more diversified service which is envisioned in new building plans. 15 The Library of the University Largely because of limitations of building and staff, the special library needs of various university groups have never been adequately provided for here. With some notable exceptions, all faculty and students use the same library facilities, which are adapted as far as possible to individual needs. With the prospect of major additions to the Library building and of recruiting more subject specialists to the Library staff, changes in practice may soon be possible. A College Library for undergraduates (chiefly first and second year students) could work a remarkable change in the use of library materials for teaching purposes if its potential were fully realized. Here would be more intimate reading rooms in which, tables and books are carefully interspersed and students are informally introduced to principal and auxiliary works by faculty and Library cooperation. These rooms, oriented toward the new Arts Building, would also draw off a large p?rt of the undergraduate users from other Library areas and thus provide space for other specialized services. A Science Library could also be created in the new building, with work space, abstracts and indexes, and journal files in close juxtaposition, and Library personnel -with specialized knowledge and interest available to meet special needs. Services •of reference and bibliography and convenience of access and orientation such as have been offered in the field, of Medicine would be thus extended to the other sciences. This arrangement might, then, like the new B.Sc. degree, belatedly recognize the special character of need and training in the fields of science. The Humanities and Social Sciences likewise require library service tailored to their materials and use, and effort and facilities should be focused upon these, perhaps in remodeled space in the north wing. Provision for Special Collections is also needed, to handle library~materials requiring special care in processing and use: the Howay-Reid collection of Canadiana, the University Archive, 16 rare books, manuscripts, and collections which because of their nature or use must be kept together or be consulted under supervision. A branch of the Provincial Archive is also sought for the campus, in order that its wealth of historical materials can be brought within reach of advanced students of history. The Biomedical Library is already in an advanced stage of development, although its use is not yet made sufficiently available to the Biological Sciences and related fields. The Fine Arts Library likewise serves mainly a single group, Architecture, with a growing use from students in the Fine Arts. Music may be the most likely area of new expansion. Education is partially served in the new Curriculum Laboratory, and a professional librarian with teacher training is expected to be added to the Library staff to help interpret and develop general Library use in terms of the College program. The particular needs of Applied. Science will be variously met by some of the special facilities" mentioned above, but further planning will be required to provide a. coordinated library program for this important group. 17 The Library Building The building itself has a restricting effect upon library use at the University. Much valuable space is wasted when it is at a premium; service operations are carried on in the middle of study areas which are already disrupted by busy traffic lanes; great reading rooms are improperly situated to permit service to diversified groups; and physical conditions accent noise rather than suppress it—these inherited circumstances, when crossed with mass use, make the Library's relations with users tenuous and difficult. It seems far more likely now than it did a year, ago, however, that an annex to the building is forthcoming, and plans are in the making. It is imperative this time that (1) building design not dictate to library use, (2) layout provide for specialized service to various University groups, and (3) strict attention be given to internal operations and to differing types, of library materials. We must not fail now to match building to needs or the results for Library and University may be disastrous. Building plans are being visualized to serve some of the needs outlined in other sections of this report, and committees of the Library staff are involved with architects in preliminary work. Relief must be soon and certain. There is joy and relief over the addition to the bookstack which was completed during the year. With the additional shelf space came a hundred more study carrells, a broad stack stairway permitting two-way passage, better stack entrance and 18 control arrangements, and new Loan Desk facilities providing service for both bound and unbound materials. A new reading room has been created for the Biomedical Library, for the first time adjacent to relevant library materials; and the whole book collection has been shifted into a more orderly arrangement. The Senate Library Committee The Senate Library Committee is the direct means by which Faculty and The Senate bring their influence to bear upon University library facilities. It is concerned both with collections and use and, under its terms of reference, is charged with their development. Around the Committee table, specialists attempt to see the University in toto and in perspective and to parlay today's resources into a more ample tomorrow. The Committee met five times during the year under the chairmanship of Dr. Ian McT. Cowan: to preview the Librarian's Annual Report and authorize a letter to Senate supporting and emphasizing certain recommendations; to expend the Committee Fund upon research materials; to discuss departmental library policy and Library processing problems; to deliberate upon the status and salaries of professional librarians and make recommendations to the President; to review a report of the Public Library Commission upon "Training Professional Librarians in Western Canada"; to allocate book funds to departments; to study the need to expand the Library building and to recommend that an addition be given "top priority by the University in considering the use of federal funds"; and to concern itself seriously with a variety of other matters. For a list of the Committee's members, and its terms of reference, see Appendix G. 19 Student-Library Liaison Committee A Library Liaison Committee appointed by the Students' Council met with representatives of the Library staff to ponder means to reduce noise in the Library building, combat the practice of "reserving" seats, and to restrict smoking, talking, and eating to the basement area. A broadside was issued, and considerable space in the campus newspaper was devoted to student responsibility for maintaining good study conditions. "If your neighbor is making too much noise, simply tell him to be quiet," the "simple rules" began. "If you're looking for a seat, don't hesitate to sit down... No one can "reserve" seats by leaving books or coats at the table space, so don't encourage the practice by honoring phony 'reservations."1 "Remember, it's your Library; if you want to study there, maintenance of good study conditions becomes your problem." Students can control the conditions under which they must work, and this is evidence of their concern. Their action will be increasingly important as their ranks expand. Training Professional Librarians Long-term plans may yet be realized if a recent recommendation of the B. C Public Library Commission becomes effective, "that the Provincial government and the University of British Columbia give careful consideration to the establishment of a graduate library school at U. B. C. within the next three years." In April 1956 the Commission authorized the establishment of a joint committee representing the Commission, the British Columbia Library Association, and the University "to study the 20 "question of library education in western Canada ... and in British Columbia in particular," and its report, "Training Professional Librarians for Western Canada," was issued in March 1957. It has been officially presented to the Senate and Board of Governors and represents, perhaps, the chief off-campus support for this proposed academic program. The Report presents statistical data relating to existing and probable future requirements for professional librarians in the four western provinces and examines present facilities for training them. It concludes that the establishment of a school in western Canada is the only means whereby the supply of urgently needed personnel is likely to be provided. And it names the University of British Columbia as the logical place for the graduate school to function—where the largest library in the region is located, collections have long been developed with a library school in view, provisional quarters are already available in the north wing of the Library building, and students will have ready access to a wide variety of well developed library services conveniently situated for their study and use. A favorable reception has been given to the report, but specific action awaits the presentation of a full and detailed program and an assessment of the availability of University funds to support it. Friends of the Library The Friends of the Library was organized on September 7, 1956, to develop the library resources of the University and to provide opportunity for interested persons to keep informed about the Library's growth and needs and to express their own interests more effectively. A hundred persons came together 21 on this occasion to hear Dr. J. N. L. Myres, Bod ley's Librarian, speak on Sir Thomas Bodley's "great store of honourable friends." The Council of Friends, a planning and deliberative body, was also created, to which group President MacKenzie outlined the Library's main needs: increased funds for books, journals, and staff; the addition of a wing to the Library building; the establishment of a school of librarianship. A special committee was immediately set up to assay Library needs and to report to the Friends, with the following personnel: Mr. Walter Koerner (chairman), Dr. A. E. Grauer, Mrs. Frank Ross, Dr. Wallace Wilson, President of the Friends, and President MacKenzie, Dean Andrew, and Mr. Harlow (secretary). "If I am right," the chairman of the special committee wrote to the Librarian, "I think that the University Library is the nucleus for both scholarship and independent research for this University. No serious scholar of repute will be happy at U.B.C. if we do not establish a policy for rapid and considerable increase in library resources. This is our primary interest in our Committee." At the end of the year the Friends numbered 97, a total of $2,406 had been received for acquisitions of library materials, with some other gifts credited indirectly to Friends' action. A well printed "Announcement and Invitation" to join the Friends has been distributed and membership cards for 1957 issued. Copy for a newsletter, "Footnotes for Friends," is in the hands of the printer, and a fall meeting is being announced. For a list of the Council of Friends, see Appendix H. 22 Report Upon Library Divisions The University Library is divided into a number of working divisions in order to gather, handle, and give access to library materials. :'The reports of their problems and accomplishments are summarized here as a first-hand account of the year's work done. Acquisitions Division More money was spent this year on books, more orders were placed, and far more books were handled than ever before. Serious backlogs were overcome, new procedures were established—and this was without doubt the most strenuous period in the Division's history. There were 14,075 orders placed in 1956/57 (9,7$0 last year), with 11,542 titles and 13,291 volumes received (compared with 9,977 and 10,995). This does not include more than 4,000 volumes from the Normal School collection and other "inside" sources and 14,540 volumes of bound journals; the grand total was 32,283 volumes (20,946). An expenditure of $121,550.95 was made, an increase of $8,350.23 over the previous year (see Appendix A). The new • fields of greatest activity were Oriental Studies, Canadiana, Education, and the Humanities, because of special funds and emphasis. The year's record load strained existing procedures, and stringent action was taken toward reorganization. The checking of book requisitions (for identification and to avoid duplication) was simplified and put under strict control. Processing and payments were speeded up, and books now remain very briefly in the Division. The method of estimating encumbrances was revised. Gifts pass more regularly into processing channels (thanks to a new half-time staff member). Special'facilities 23 were set up to handle materials for the large number of new off-campus courses in Education. Over 9,000 volumes went through the campus delivery service, most of them with a return ticket. Staff turnover continually threatens the efficiency of operations. The employment of student assistants for bibliographic checking is being debated, but is now unavoidable. Miss Eleanor Mercer, Head, seconded by Miss Priscilla Scott, faces an increasing avalanche which they must have the resources to handle. Dr. Rothstein's skilled assistance has been important in the year's reorganization. Reference Division The Reference staff is engaged not so much in a service as in education. Information in myriads of combinations lies buried in any large research collection, and the specialist in bibliography is the one best equipped to point out the avenues to it. In support of its teaching and informational functions, the Division acquires a variety of materials to supplement the book and journal collections and, through interlibrary loan, extends the Library's resources to include material in other libraries. About 40,000 items were received and recorded (of which 33,962 were from governmental and international agencies, 2,093 were maps, and 963 were university calendars (last year, 36,052). Of 21,000 questions answered (last year, 17,000), 6,900 came by telephone, half from off-campus. Besides direct assistance to individuals at three public desks, formal instruction was given to 4$ sections of English 100 ($8 hours), plus special lectures to classes in ten departments and Faculties. Bibliographic guides were prepared for students in Chemical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Plant Science, Commerce, Home Economics, and Education. Bibliographic studies relating to aging, Spanish voyages, Okanagan fruit industry commissions, the planning of sawmills, and other areas of research were made. About 60 instructive displays were set up, including special showings for the Russian fisheries group, the Friends of the Library, and the Japanese Ambassador. Countless tours were provided. 24 Interlibrary loans totaled 465 items borrowed, 1,257 lent (see Appendix D), involving 4,317 pieces of correspondence in this business alone. The annual Publications of Faculty and Staff was prepared, this year's list running to 462 entries and 78 pages (compared with 173 items and 20 pages in 1949/50 when it first appeared in separate form). Because this heavy burden of bibliographic checking and editing can no longer be borne by the Division alone, new arrangements for the compilation of the list are being proposed for the coming year. The Fine Arts Room, with Miss Melva Dwyer in charge, and the Howay-Reid' Collection of Canadiana, under Mr. Noel Owens, recorded heavier use because of greater enrollment, new courses, and increased faculty interest. The Map Room, supervised by Miss Doreen Taylor through December, and by Mr. Owens after her resignation, has reduced its backlog of un-processed materials, in spite of large additions. All of these operate o'n a marginal, part-time basis, and there is a constant demand by faculty and students that their hours and service be extended. Too small a staff and too few senior members handicap performance, development, and continuity. Hectic schedules, overmuch routine, and lack of opportunity for self-development discourage ambitious people. Miss Anne M. Smith and her two senior assistants, Miss Joan O'Rourke and Miss Melva Dwyer, are experienced, competent and energetic, and they have been ably assisted by the newer members of the Division (who averaged, at the end of August 1957, 12^ months of service). Two senior staff resigned during the period, Miss Taylor (going to the B. C. Electric Company library) and Mr. Owens (to England and the Continent), each with six years of solid reference experience Cataloging Division The larger the book collection the more overwhelming it would become were it not for an orderly scheme of arrangement and auxiliary guides to author and content. The Cataloging staff provide pass keys to the Library's varied subject compartments. In spite of a considerable increase in the amount of material cataloged, compared with the previous year, the backlog of unprocessed volumes was larger than ever at the end of the period. 25 1955/56 1954/55 Books cataloged 15,299 11,575 13,764 Serial vols, added 14,540 12,947 13,909 New serial entries 182 142 124 Totals 30,021 24,664 27,797 Backlog 4,875 2,$79 2,832 Several crises during the year cost heavily in senior staff time: the sorting and processing of several thousand volumes from the Normal School for use in the new Curriculum Laboratory and the Library; interruptions in the flow of books caused by reorganization in the Acquisitions Division; and the drafting of members of staff into extra-Divisional operations. A professional staff of major league caliber, supported by a non-professional group of very high quality during the latter part of the period, recovered much of the lost ground. The re-cataloging of the Medical collection was virtually completed, a four-year project. The increased output of cataloging upset the balance between professional and non-professional staff, and an additional Library Assistant and clerical staff member are needed to cope with the higher production required. Miss Dorothy Jefferd, Head of the Division from 1915 to 1954 and Senior Cataloger until June 30, 1957, left the Library during the year, as above recorded. Under the leadership of Miss Mar.iorie Alldritt and her First Assistant, Mr. Basil Stuart-Stubbs, a vigorous and flexible organization carried off a very difficult year. Loan Division A fine research library is a monument to perseverance and skill, but without a generous policy of use, careful control, and accurate records, it profiteth little. The Loan Division maintains this flow of the book collections. This was the year of the big stack addition, the great book shift, and of massive enrollment. Approximately 15,000 square feet of new shelf (and carrell) space, a new loan desk, the complete rearrangement of the book stock, and a 20% increase in student numbers (92% in the Summer Session) set the stage. 26 Over 211,000 loans were made at the two public desks: 1956/57 1955/56 1954/55 Loan Desk 124,407 101,240 104,122 Reserve Book Room $7,222 90,023 97,402 Totals 211,629 200,263 201,526 Although there was a 13% increase in loans at the main desk and a decline of 3.1% in the Reserve Book Room (the latter being explained in part by longer loan periods), the total increase during the past four years of increasing enrollment has been 34%. The number of unfilled requests for books which are already in use hs.n mounted even more rapidly. More staff time is required to fetch and shelve books in the larger stack area, to checK materials in a hundred more carrells, and to man an additional station at the new Loan Desk (to separate the window for "requests" from the point of delivery in order to minimize queues and crowds). Full-time ocmt«v>l of the stack portal is now maintained. Heavier use of the campus delivery service is being made. Since 41% of the recorded loans are being made from a Reserve collection of about 4,000 volumes, it is clear that the Reserve Book Room warrants thoughtful attention. The proposal to replace the whole operation with a "college" library of some 40,000 volumes is discussed elsewhere. Meanwhile, every detail has been carefully scrutinized to make management and use more effective. Stack construction continued from Christmas to May, and the book shift (managed by Mr. Stuart-Stubbs and Mr. Bell) was squeezed in between the spring and summer terms. New arrangements at the stack entry made it possible to put into effect a four-year old recommendation of the Senate Library Committee that brief cases not be taken into the stack enclosure. The book shift, perforce, replaced the annual inventory. A new position added in April to take care of duties whieh were once performed by staff during slack periods was immediately swallowed up by heavier usage. The fine line between order and confusion which often exists during hours of very heavy use can be broadened only by being p.ble to deploy staff at the proper time to the most critical places; an additional Library Assistant is needed for this purpose as this report is being written. 27 Miss Mabel Lanning, with Mr. Inglis Bell, First Assistant, have planned, reorganized, shifted, and stood up to many changes and pressures and, with Mrs. Frances Tucker and other staff, have cast a sharp and conscientious eye upon all established practices. Serials Division A high proportion of learned publication appears in periodical form, and the Serials Division routes this vast and complex material into channels of information. At the year's end 4,416 titles were being currently received, of which 219 were new subscriptions, and 14,540 bound volumes augmented the Library's collections. Most subscriptions are handled on a continuing basis, but 1,059 orders were placed for new titles, sets, and miscellaneous issues. Over 30 series (half in mathematics) were contributed by faculty members. Appendix B lists new subscriptions, Appendix C-I the most notable acquisitions. Loans totaled 16,936 unbound issues, compared with 17,492 the previous year, a good record when the handicaps and disturbances of the construction period are considered. During the year the Division experienced a metamorphosis. From December through May it was cut off from its public except for a peep-hole through which requests were filled. Its reading room was converted into a bookstack, with much noise of jack-hammers, and it was moved bodily into another area. The Serials Desk now adjoins the Loan Division in the main public room, adjacent to the public catalog; and unbound journals are open to all who have stack access (3d year and upward). Moderate staff loss, the disruptions mentioned, the growth of the serials collections, and the increase in bindery output affected the work load. Mr. Roland Lanning's detailed'knowledge of the Library's holdings and needs, and of the serials market, continues to be invaluable in Library development, and he has been assisted in the Division's operations by a well- knit and loyal staff. 28 University Library Bindery. For five consecutive years Bindery productTonTH'as markedly increased, to the present total of 11,119 volumes and 1,229 in "storage" covers (in 1950/51, the output was 3,417 volumes of all types; about 6,000 were bound in the next year; and 9,$$9, plus 1,9$2 in storage covers, in 1955/56). This larger and more efficient operation was inaugurated in 1951/52 with the appointment•of a new Head Binder and the purchase of basic equipment, and only an apprentice has since been added to the staff of two journeymen binders and two journeywomen. With higher production there has been a large decrease in per-volume cost in spite of higher wages and other costs. This year a slight advance in the unit cost was registered (about $.05 per volume), resulting from increased wages, but the cost is still lower than for any period except 1955/56. Mr. Percy Fryer, Head Binder, has the rare qualities of craftsman and manager, and he earns and enjoys the cooperative support of a competent and dependable staff. Biomedical Library The Biomedical Library is an adaptation of University Library facilities to the particular requirements of the Biological Sciences and Medicine. By providing specialized staff, organization, and space, a focus upon the needs of this group is made. The Biomedical Library became a full Division of the University Library on April 1, 1957, a position warranted by its present size and function. Otherwise the year is likely to be remembered for improvements in physical facilities and for a heavy turnover of staff. Temporary accommodation for the Branch at the General Hospital, first occupied in October 1952, was not vacated until early July 1957, when handsome, functional quarters in the new Faculty of Medicine building were completed. On the campus, cramped conditions were also relieved when the reading room and work area were transferred to space made available by new stack construction, and the books and journals were moved on to adjacent shelving. 29 Staff changes overshadowed all other problems, involving 6 Library Assistants and 2 temporary professional appointments. Service was seriously disrupted, and steady users of the library were understandably impatient of such conditions. The number of journal subscriptions paid from special Biomedical Library funds rose to 777 (1$ new titles), with the total medical list now comprising 1,657 titles. A careful review of the list is currently being made. More than 4,200 volumes of books and journals in the Biomedical field were added, bringing the collection within this general classification to over 29,000. Recorded loans at the Branch totaled 10,776 volumes (campus records being partial because journals are shelved in a section of the main book stacks). Interlibrary loans numbered 33 7 volumes lent, 215 borrowed (232 and 121 in 1955/56). A tabulation of journal use by date of publication recorded 2,304 volumes for the current year; 4,929 for the decade, 1946/56; 562 for the previous ten years; and 325 for the whole period up to 193 5• Lectures to students in Medicine, Nursing, and Pharmacy totaled 2$ hours. The monthly lists of new acquisitions of interest to Medicine totaled 46 pages. Cooperative activities were carried out in relation to the Vancouver Medical Association, the Health League of Greater-Vancouver, the Metropolitan Health Library, and the Medical Library Association. A detailed survey of the Vancouver Medical Association Library was made by the Biomedical Librarian and published in mimeographed form. Two special committees are concerned with the development and use of these specialized facilities, the Library Committee of the Faculty of Medicine (Dr. William C Gibson, Dr. J. W. Whitelaw, Dr. Sydney M. Friedman, chairman), and the President's Committee on the Biomedical Library' (Dr. Whitelaw, chairman) . The latter represents all medical groups contributing to the support of the Branch Library. Miss Doreen Fraser, Biomedical Librarian, has been characteristically resourceful and energetic in developing the service, teaching, and research functions of this library program. It is hoped that she will be able to count upon greater staff continuity in the coming year. 30 Extension Library The University Library and the Department of University Extension join forces to provide a specialized readers' service to British Columbians not resident in the metropolitan areas. Books are carefully hand-picked to meet individual needs and to supplement other forms of library service available in the province. Since the establishment of the Extension Library in 1937, loans have increased from 1,436 to over 20,000 volumes a year, and registered borrowers from 82 to over 600. As the "mail order department" of the University Library, it provides books for correspondence and extension courses as well as for personal study and reading. The subscribers, a large number of whom are new Canadians, require a growing proportion of scientific and technical books and request material relating to special subjects rather than by title. Loans totaled 20,533 during 1956/57, with 664 personal and group borrowers paying the two dollar fee. Theatre groups number 170 registrations and received 5,714 plays. For correspondence courses 1,512 volumes were lent. Basic subject lists of books were issued. Increasing requests for reference assistance from outlying areas raise the question whether such a service can be continued by the small staff of the Extension Library. Miss Edith Stewart, Extension Librarian, has a broad knowledge of books and an acute sense of judgment and responsibility in applying it to the needs of an unusual clientele. She, and Mrs. Norene Brackett, with a few hours of student assistance, provide a readers' service which will be hard to match anywhere. 31 Acknowledgments As we discard an old University Calendar and take up another, there is a recurring opportunity to recognize persons in and outside the University who have contributed- in some major way to the Library's present development. At the top of the list is the University Library staff, without whom there would not be anything for the Librarian to report; they are headed by Dr. Samuel Rothstein and Miss Anne M. Smith, Assistant Librarians. The President, Board of Governors, Finance Committee, the administrative departments, the Senate Library Committee, Deans, and a large number of faculty members have given indispensable assistance throughout the year. To Friends of the Library, the Council of Friends (and its Committee on Library Needs), and to individuals named and unnamed herein who have given money, materials, and effort toward the Library's growth—a personal acknowledgment of appreciation. The future is in our hands.
