The Report of the University Librarian
to the Senate of the University
®
» Seventy-fourth Year
* 1988/89
~Z The University of British Columbia
• Vancouver, April 1990 This report, like several others over the past three
quarters century, is being submitted by an Acting Librarian
in respect to a year during most of which the former
University Librarian was in charge.  Nominally it covers the
year ending August 31, 1989, two months after Doug Mclnnes's
term ended.
The annual report gives the Librarian a vehicle for
putting before the Senate, the University, and selected
parts of the off-campus world, a review of what has been
going on during the reporting period.
This particular report also provides an opportunity for
recognizing and thanking Doug Mclnnes for his contributions
to the Library and the University over more than a quarter
century.  His colleagues and friends salute him and wish him
well in his headship of the Woodward Library.
The report is in the traditional format and style, with
a first section presenting information in brief narrative
form and a second consisting of statistical resumes. REPORT OF THE UNIVERSITY LIBRARIAN FOR THE YEAR 1988/89
Of special concern during the report year were
questions relating to the Library's external relationships,
the continued implementation of new technologies, and the
long term solution to the shortage of space.
TRIUL activities
The need for close cooperation among the libraries at
UBC, Simon Fraser, and the University of Victoria led to
several meetings of senior library staff during the course
of the report year.  Principal items for discussion included
the planning of library support for degree-completion
programs introduced in the colleges, and proposals to share
and improve access to online catalogues and other databases.
Planning for degree-completion programs
Following the announcement that UBC would be involved
in providing degree-completion programs at Okanagan College
and Cariboo College, the Library has been working with the
college librarians to determine what kind of supplementary
resources might be needed from the UBC Library and how these
might be provided most effectively.  In the college and
university library proposals, emphasis was given to the
early development of core collections at the colleges in
support of the new courses.  However, the need for
supplementary materials from the UBC collections would become significant and would have to be met through improved
interlibrary loan arrangements
The "electronic library"
The Library was invited to participate in planning for
improvements in the sharing of catalogue and other
information available in electronic form.  A committee with
wide representation from B.C. post-secondary libraries
established to develop and submit proposals.
Introduction of the first OPAC terminals
The online public catalogue was introduced in March,
1988.  Access within the Library was limited by the number
of public terminals available.  However, dial-up access from
other campus and off-campus locations proved to be very
popular.  In addition, remote access to the catalogues
provided to the Simon Fraser University and the University
of Victoria libraries and to B.C. college libraries.
Establishment of Friends of the Library Council
An organizational meeting of the Friends of the Library
Council was held in June 1988.  Dr. P.R. Sandwell was
invited to serve as its first chairman.  Appointed by
invitation of President Strangway, Council members include
representatives of the business and academic communities and - 3
of the library profession.  A list of members and Council's
terms of reference are provided in Appendix L.  In November
at its first full meeting Council heard a presentation on
the Library's plans and on current issues affecting the
Library.
Ceremony honoring Dr. w.c Gibson
The extensive contributions of Dr. William C. Gibson to
the University were acknowledged at a ceremony in the
Woodward Library on September 7, 1988, where the Woodward
Library's exceptional collection of historical works in
science and medicine were named in Dr. Gibson's honor.  As
the first Chairman of the History of Medicine Division of
the Faculty of Medicine, Dr. Gibson was largely responsible
for the development of the collection.
Physical facilities
In the spring of 1989 the University decided that a
proposal to provide new central library space on the old
bookstore site would not proceed. Alternatives would be
raised in the fall of 1989. (Planning began in February
1990 for new space to be completed by 1994/95.)
Other branches of the UBC Library system for which new
quarters were being planned were the Curriculum Laboratory
and the St. Paul's Hospital Library Continued popularity of debit cards and new copiers
The replacement of Library copiers and the use of debit
cards in place of coins for photocopying have resulted in a
very substantial increase in copying done on Library
machines.  Availability of improved copy service has also
resulted in a drop in external loans as fewer materials are
being charged out for copying on machines outside the
Library.
Senate Library Committee
The major activity of the Senate Library Committee in
1988/89 was to consider the recommendations of the Library
Review Committee and to submit a report of its findings to
the President.  The Senate Library Committee endorsed some
of the recommendations, while rejecting others.  Its major
criticism was that the report was driven purely by financial
concerns and lacked a clear sense of what the Library was,
had achieved, and offered to the University.  Since then
some of the recommendations have been implemented, others
are being considered, and still others are awaiting the
arrival of the yet-to-be-appointed University Librarian. COLLECTIONS
Annual budget for collections
The collections budget for 1988/89 was $5,312,563,
increased by 6.65 percent over the previous year's.  For
the year 1989/90 the budget was $5,568,563.  This increase
of 4.8 percent was made up of two components: 3.3 percent
from the University's general increase to the supplies and
expenses budget, and a special allocation of 1.5 percent as
part of a long-term plan to compensate the Library
collections budget for net exchange rate changes.  Under
this plan, the exchange rate changes for a typical package
of library purchases will be calculated on a 10-year moving
average basis.
Over the past five years, the
collections budget has increased by 29.6 percent, partly
from new funding and partly from transfers of funds from the
salary side of the Library budget.

The figures above refer to the basic operating budget only.
In addition, some funding was available from the Pacific Rim
Excellence Fund, and various specific purpose trust funds.
Serial cancellations
During 1988 and 1989, about 250 duplicate serial
subscriptions were cancelled, with particular attention
being given to the higher priced titles.  The savings are
gradually being applied to the purchase of new unique
titles.  In addition to newly published periodicals,
attention must be given to the many titles which were first
published earlier in the 1980's, and which the Library was
not able to buy at that time.
Grants, gifts, and donations
Gifts in Kind
Gifts to the Special Collections and University
Archives Division included papers and records from Mr. John
Munro, Ms. Jane Rule, Mr. Toni Onley, Dr. Harry Warren and
MacMillan Bloedel.  Further additions to the Malcolm Lowry
collection were received from the estate of Mrs. Lowry.
Donors of special books and collections included Mrs.
Elizabeth Campbell, Mr. Pete Haworth, Dr. Ronald Jobe, Mr.
Derek Lukin Johnston, Dr. Walter Koerner, Mr. Owen - 7 -
Lauritzen, Dr. Harry Warren and Tetrad Computer Applications
Ltd.
Donations
We note with regret the death of two of the Library's
long-time donors: Mr. Samuel Lipson (the Lipson Fund for
Canadian History) and Mrs. Phae Collins (the Mark and Phae
Collins Fund for the Undergraduate Library).
Among the notable personal donors this year were:  Mr.
Noel Owens, Mr. Naomichi Nishimura, Ms. Jennie Tarabulus,
Ms. Carol Penfield, Mrs. Vera Pech, Ms. Colleen Sim, Dr.
H. Rocke Robertson, Mr. Po Ting Ip, Dr. Kaye Lamb, and Mrs.
Violet Eagles.  Mr. James Phelps, Ms. Katherine Block and
Mr. John MacDonald made donations in support of the Crane
Library.
Grants from foundations and organizations
Support from the Woodward Foundation and the Vancouver
Foundation was received for a joint project of the Faculty
of Medicine and the Library to introduce CD-ROM MEDLINE and
Computer Assisted Learning programs into the Woodward and
Teaching Hospital Libraries.
The Crane Library recording centre was re-equipped with
a substantial grant from GO BC through the Kinsmen Foundation.  This project was also supported by the Rotary
Club of Vancouver.
The Law Foundation of B.C. supported the purchase of
special materials for the Law Library.
Acquisitions of CD record players and CD recordings for
the Music Library was assisted by the Koerner Foundation.
The federal government Cultural Properties office made
two grants during the year to support the purchase of
material for Special Collections.  In one case, the
Vancouver Foundation's Ernest Theodore Rogers Fund also
assisted with the purchase.
The Children's Literature Roundtable made a donation to
support the Arkley Collection in Special Collections.
A number of organizations gave grants to the Special
Collections and University Archives Division to facilitate
the organization of collections by hiring project archivists
and other staff.  The Social Sciences and Humanities
Research Council, MacMillan Bloedel and the Canadian Council
of Archives were the major donors in this area.
Cooperative purchase of census datatapes through CARL
A sudden and very substantial increase in the cost of
purchasing Canadian census data in machine-readable form
prompted the Canadian Association of Research Libraries
(CARL) to negotiate a contract with Statistics Canada for a CJ - 9 -
a
q group purchase on behalf of its member libraries.  By this
means, each CARL member library may obtain the full set of
data by sharing the cost of purchasing a single set of tapes
and by paying the minor additional cost of having copies
made.  The census tapes may be accessed through the Data
Library. LIBRARY SERVICES
Use of the Library continued to be heavy in 1988/89.
Adjustments in policies and introduction of improved
facilities have resulted in some changes in traditional
library service indicators.
Overall, circulation decreased by 42,000 transactions,
or by 1.9 percent.  The greatest change occurred in the
Woodward Library where the introduction of a copy machine in
the reserve area and the anchoring of an additional 194
heavily used journals resulted in an 18 percent reduction in
circulation for that unit.  Throughout the Library
photocopying increased by almost 50 percent over the
previous year.
Reference questions answered throughout the system
increased by 8.3 percent over the preceding year, reflecting
the increasing complexity of the University Library and the
information gathering process.  Computer assisted
bibliographic searches decreased by 3.8 percent to 2,066,  a
direct result of end-user searching on CD-ROM.  The number
of orientation and instructional sessions decreased by 10
percent to 859 while the number of participants decreased by
two percent to 12,405.  Interlibrary borrowing and lending
increased by 12.3 percent to 36,423, while document delivery
among the campus and hospital branch libraries increased by
12.4 percent to 45,137. 11
Where some traditional indicators such as circulation
and remote computer searches leveled off, reference service,
photocopy service, document delivery and interlibrary loan
increases suggest that use of library materials and services
is continuing to grow.
Library hours
A Library Hours Task Force was asked to review existing
patterns of hours of access and hours of service in the
Library system, to consider the changing needs of the UBC
community for Library access and service and to consider how
the general public may be served with minimum detriment to
services to UBC users.  The resulting report recognized the
need to simplify the patterns of library hours among the
many library branches and divisions and to reduce the number
of sessional changes to three: winter session, spring/summer
session, and intersession.  It recommended that hours of
opening for the five larger libraries, (Main,  Woodward,
Sedgewick, Curriculum Laboratory and Law) should be
increased.  These and other recommendations of the task
force will be implemented as resources and opportunity
permit.
Once again, the Library extended hours of opening in
the largest campus libraries for the Christmas and Spring
examination periods.  Sedgewick, Main, Woodward and Law - 12 -
provided needed study space on the weekends and in the
evenings.
Journal anchoring in the Woodward Library
On the recommendation of the Ad Hoc Committee to Review
Journal Circulation Policy in the Woodward Library, five-
year files of 194 critically important journal titles were
made non-circulating.  These titles were in addition to the
126 titles for which circulation outside the library was
already restricted.  A review of user experience was
proposed after one year to determine the success of this
measure in improving access to the core biomedical journal
literature.
CD-ROM
Health Sciences Libraries
CD-ROM was introduced to the UBC Library in the fall
1988 when CD-Plus MEDLINE was installed in the Woodward
Library and the teaching hospital libraries.  The Library,
the Faculty of Medicine and the teaching hospitals
cooperated to provide the financial resources required. The
Woodward Foundation and the Vancouver Foundation provided
additional MEDLINE workstations and support to install
computed assisted learning facilities in each of the health
sciences libraries. 13
CD-ROM MEDLINE at Woodward is booked by users in
advance for 30 minute periods.  Citations may be printed or
downloaded to disk.  More that 2,000 sessions were booked in
the first five months.  Reference staff provided direct
assistance for users and began group instruction during the
summer, 1989.  Additional workstations, linked to a local
area network were to be added with Woodward and Vancouver
Foundation support.
Patscan Service
The Patscan Service continued to grow and to offer
improved information resources.  CD-ROM versions of the NTIS
indexes and the CASSIS indexes of American patents were
added to the service.  The CD-ROM version of the Canadian
Patent Index is being developed by the UBC Library to be
released early in 1990. TECHNICAL SERVICES AND SYSTEMS
Library Technical Services
The technical services divisions continued to handle
high levels of work in acquiring, providing records for, and
processing the variety of materials that make up library
collections.
Cataloguing backlogs remained fairly constant, with
some prospect of increases because of staff reductions while
the rate of acquisition remained level. One additional
catalogue librarian's position was eliminated, with work
assignments and support staff reorganized among the
remaining cataloguing units. This position had provided a
specialization in handling audio visual and educational
materials.  Reallocation of the work to a number of other
catalogue librarians minimizes the impact of this loss.
Expanded use of machine readable invoice data continued
to improve procedures for payment and accounting, in
particular for serial subscription renewals.
Slow response time on the library computer became a
significant factor in reduced productivity for all areas of
technical services.  Further degradation would lead to
bigger backlogs and reduced ability to provide services. The
need for increased computer capacity was recognized as
urgent, for library staff as well as for good patron access. 15
Library systems
Work on a new user interface continued through a
project to develop a prototype system to work in combination
with the existing online systems.  The prototype will
include the use of a windowing environment, pointing devices
such as a mouse, and pull down menus.  Use of color to
highlight information and user choices is also planned.
Requirements for expanding computer capacity were
documented.  Some funding was provided to maintain existing
services and additional funds were in prospect.  Required is
a major funding initiative to provide for two critical
needs: expansion of online access for library patrons, and
replacement of the library circulation system.
The Faculty of Education and the Library agreed to work
together in using machine readable databases acquired by the
Faculty.  Three databases were planned to be loaded on the
library computer; ERIC RIE and CJIE, and PSYCINFO. The first
stage of development will provide online access for
reference librarians to assess the systems support and to
determine the usefulness of these databases in their work.
Subsequent stages will see these and other databases online
and accessible to all library users.  Increased computer
capacity and more public workstations are key components to
this development. STAFF
The number of Library staff declined during the year
from 103.7 librarians and 271.3 support staff in 1987/88 to
101.7 librarians and 266.6 support staff, a reduction of 1.8
percent.  The total includes ten grant-funded or self-
supporting positions.
Doug Mclnnes left the position of University Librarian
towards the end of the report year to become Head of the
Woodward Biomedical Library.  He had agreed to serve until
the end of June while the search for a new University
Librarian took place.  As a replacement had not been chosen
by that time, Bill Watson was appointed Acting University
Librarian as of July 1, 1989.
Maureen Wilson, Head, Map Library, and Doug Kaye, Head,
Wilson Recordings Collection, both took early retirement at
the end of June 1989.  Maureen was appointed as a reference
librarian at UBC in 1959. She became Head of the Map Library
in 1965 and held that position until her retirement.
Doug Kaye started at UBC in 1958 in the recordings
collection of the then Department of University Extension.
When the collection became part of the Library in 1965 Doug
was appointed supervisor. In 1968 he became Head of the
Wilson Recordings Collection, which he managed until his
retirement.
These two retirements led to an organizational review,
and the Map Library became a subunit of the Special 17
Collections and University Archives Division.  The Wilson
Recordings Collection became a subunit of the Sedgewick
Library.
Turnover among librarians was higher than usual, as
staff left to pursue opportunities elsewhere.  Five
librarians resigned during the reporting year: Beth Anholt
John Cole in 1988; and Carol Wisdom, Connie Fitzpatrick
Len Mclver in 1989.  Dan Heino was appointed  in April
1989 and Tim Ross in August, 1989. Terry Horner, Susan
Andrews, Donna Carpenter, Leonora Crema, and Ron Simmer were
granted confirmed appointments.
Recruiting continued during the year for three half-
time Bibliographic Associates with competency in Korean,
Indonesian, and Indie languages.  By the summer of 1989 the
Library was able to appoint candidates with the required
language proficiencies.
One member of the Library's support staff retired
during the year.  Bianca Barnes, the Library's graphic
artist, took early retirement in March 1989 after nearly 20
years of service. Appendix A
