The introductory\nparagraphs of this report touch on questions, old and new, which will demand\nattention from everyone concerned with the future of the library services at the\nUniversity of British Columbia.\nThe first of these, affecting all aspects of the Library's operation, is the\nquestion of physical facilities.  When the President's Committee on Library Space\nRequirements made its report in 1980, it was expected that existing space for\nlibrary collections would be full beyond working capacity by 1988.  That prediction,\nwhich assumed further transfer of collections to non-public storage areas, remains\nvalid.  Within the present facilities of the Main Library, the only means of\nextending the deadline for collections space is to create a limited amount of\nadditional closed storage on the seventh floor.  Most of the smaller branch libraries\nare already out of space for collections; others will be by 1988.\nThe quality of library space is important as well, for functional and aesthetic\nreasons.  Except for the most recently constructed campus branch libraries, most\nof U.B.C.'s library space is functionally inadequate, almost incapable of\nreorganization, and in certain instances unsafe by current building and fire codes.\nThe Library Development Proposal submitted in 1981 to the Universities Council\nwould have provided, over the long term, for extensive reorganization of services\nin new space.  Under the present economic conditions, a major redevelopment of\nthe Library's central facilities appears to be out of the question.  Instead, the task\nwill be to develop less costly alternatives which provide badly needed space soon\nenough without compromising future opportunities for consolidating and\nreorganizing services. At a time when an extended period of reduced operating\nbudgets and technological change demand flexibility in the organization of library\nservice, the Library faces a series of ad hoc adjustments to cope with a space\nproblem which will increase operating costs and service deficiencies.\nA second major issue is, of course, the effect of reductions in operating\nbudgets in recent years.  Retrenchment in 1982\/83 saw the closure of one small branch library and the virtual elimination of the Library's support to reading rooms.\nTo meet its retrenchment target the Library was also obliged to give up several\nbudgeted positions and to sacrifice savings from the operating budget that were\npreviously used to help offset increases in the cost of supplies and outside services.\nThe overall result of retrenchment and contractual changes has been a reduction of\n13% (excluding grant-funded health science positions) since 1970 in the total staff\nhours available to operate the Library.  During that same period, the demands for\nlibrary service, both traditional and innovative, have increased and the\nresponsibilities of the Library have been expanded.\nThroughout periods of restraint the Library has protected the collection by\ngiving it the highest possible priority. The wisdom of this policy can be seen in the\nstrength of the periodical collections, developed and maintained through years of\nlean budgets both as a matter of policy and through the commitment of individuals,\nparticularly Mr. Roland Lanning, U.B.C.'s outstanding serials bibliographer until\n1968. That objective is no less important today.  As the major research library in\nthe Province, the U.B.C. Library's obligation to maintain strong collections grows\nin the face of reductions to other academic library collections in B.C.  It is\nexpected, quite appropriately, that materials no longer available elsewhere in the\nProvince will continue to be represented in U.B.C.'s collection.  The collections\nconstitute a capital investment of unique importance to the Province.  Failure to\nacquire books and periodicals as they are published would mean that many\nimportant titles could not be purchased later - most go out of print within a very\nshort time.  As we learned in the 1960's, subsequent attempts to fill in gaps and to\nacquire large retrospective collections are costly, difficult, and only moderately\nsuccessful.\nIn view of the magnitude and possible duration of the present financial crisis,\nthe maintenance of the Library's unique collections must be considered a\nUniversity, not merely a Library, priority.  The last collections budget increase was\nin 1981\/82 and, although inflation has moderated, it is still a significant factor.\nReduction in duplicate subscriptions funded by the Library budget, some restriction\nof book purchases, and favourable European exchange rates have all helped us to\nlive within a static budget.  Duplicate subscriptions are again being examined, and\nall but the most essential will be considered for elimination.  However, if a modest increase in the collections budget is not possible within the next year or two\ncancellation of some unique titles will be inevitable.  Any actual reduction in the\nbudget will, of course, require that this step be taken earlier.  A significant\nworsening in exchange rates would have a similar impact.\nReductions to the operating budget can come only from cutting staff or\ncollections, and as already noted the staff time available to the Library has been\nsubstantially reduced in recent years.  Further reductions in the staff will probably\nbe required and will have a visible impact on the Library's ability to process books\nand journals and to provide services.  Most possibilities for minor adjustments have\nbeen exhausted, and the potential for major reorganization of services for more\neconomical operation is limited by the Library's physical plant.  A substantial\nreduction in operating funds in 1984\/85, followed by static or shrinking budgets in\nsubsequent years, would make it impossible to avoid serious cuts in the Library\ncollection, to the detriment of research and teaching at U.B.C. and to the great\ndisadvantage of academic work in the Province as a whole.  There are no\ninexpensive solutions to the problem.  The cost of maintaining this provincial\nresource increases inexorably with inflation, while no provision exists for offsetting increases to the collections budget.\nThe past five to ten years have seen important improvements in the provision\nof information about collections.  The continued development of automated\nsystems required for easier access to such information constitutes a third major\nissue for the Library in 1984.  Prior to 1978 the only public catalogue of the entire\nUniversity Library collection was the one in the concourse of the Main Library.\nSince then, a union catalogue representing all materials acquired since 1978 and a\nsubstantial proportion of the older collections has been maintained by computer\nand made available on computer-output-microfiche (COM) in all branch libraries\nand in many locations outside the University.  As part of the same shift to\nautomation, information about materials on order, in process, or recently\ncatalogued is also widely available on a current basis.  Both COM and on-line\naccess have also been developed for the control of uncatalogued materials,\npreviously known only to the branch or division in which the materials were held.\nSpecial attention has been given to the provision of information about serial\npublications.  Until quite recently, users had to rely on a printed listing, usually out-of-date.  Information about serials received by the Library is now available online, allowing the user to determine quickly if a particular issue has been received\nand checked in.\nOther developments have improved access to information and materials held\nelsewhere.  The Library holds COM catalogues for other library collections and can\nalso make enquiries in many instances on-line through its computer terminals.  The\nsame terminals provide access to a vast array of bibliographic information held in\nremote data bases.  More rapid access to materials identified in external sources\nhas been achieved through the use of electronic mail and through ordering systems\noffered by vendors of bibliographic information.  While the magnitude of the\nchanges that have occurred may not be apparent to the average library patron,\nthey represent the beginning of a revolution in access to information.\nEfforts to continue the development of improved access systems appear to be\nat a standstill, at least in British Columbia.  The exciting potential of mounting a\nlocal system to provide cataloguing and other forms of support to the university\nand college libraries (the B.C. Library Network) has been abandoned for lack of\nfunding.  It is doubtful that the University of British Columbia Library can continue\neven to participate in the maintenance of a B.C. union catalogue since, without a\nB.C.L.N., it is necessary to make continued use of expensive arrangements for\nentering and holding records at the UTLAS processing centre in Toronto.  Further\ndevelopments must occur with extremely limited operating funds and are likely to\nfocus on urgent local needs.  Meanwhile, the potential for on-line access to\ninformation has hardly begun to be exploited and the benefits of closer cooperation\nin sharing resources will be less easily achieved.\nIn our concern for the more obvious problems arising from reduced budgets we\nmust also remain aware of the extent to which the quality of future collections and\ninformation services depends on the effective use of present funding.  Earlier\nreports have noted the high standing achieved by the U.B.C. Library among North\nAmerican research libraries.  For its collections, staff and services the U.B.C.\nLibrary has, over a period of many years, earned a reputation for excellence which\nmust be preserved. The immediate problems are clear enough.  Without increased funds to at least\nmaintain buying power for collections, there will inevitably be a reduction in the\npurchase of books and journals that are not held elsewhere in British Columbia;\nfurther reductions in staffing will limit services over the system as a whole and\nwill lead to larger processing backlogs.  If the level of collecting remains high,\nthere must also be staff to order, receive and process the materials purchased or\nthey are of little immediate use to patrons.  Without effective and constantly\nimproving systems, neither the acquisition of collections nor the process of making\nthem available for use can proceed efficiently.  Even the task of selecting the best\nfrom the vast array of publications available requires adequate staff support.  And\nwhile our branch system is an effective way of providing access to the Library's\nresources, it can function only with a substantial commitment of staff resources.\nIt is particularly unfortunate that reductions in operating budgets should occur\nat a time when our library, like others, is faced with the need both to maintain\ntraditional collections and services and to prepare for the multitude of changes\narising from developments in communications and information technology.  Our\ntask will be not merely to preserve the Library's present position as one of\nCanada's leading research and teaching resources; we must also find the means to\nintroduce and use the technology on which future collections access and services\nwill be based.\nREVIEW OF 1982\/83\nCollections:\nThe 1982\/83 statistics from the Association of Research Libraries show that\nthe U.B.C. Library collection now ranks thirty-fourth among the 104 member\nlibraries (thirtieth in 1981\/82) and third among Canadian university libraries\n(second in 1981\/82).  The apparent drop in standing is due entirely to the fact that\nthe holdings of campus reading rooms are no longer reported as part of the Library\ncollection.  Since U.B.C. ranked fifteenth (twenty-first in 1981\/82) in the number\nof volumes added during the year, it is obvious that the Library has not fallen\nbehind in its development of the collection.  Only one other change is worth noting. U.B.C.'s microform collection, still the largest among Canadian university\nlibraries, was ranked twelfth in size among A.R.L. libraries in 1982\/83 (fifth in\n1981\/82).  A number of major libraries in the United States reported remarkable\ngrowth in microform holdings in 1982\/83.  While no reliable explanation is\navailable, the dramatic change may result from more complete reporting, made\npossible through cooperative efforts to provide detailed cataloguing of large\nmicroform sets, and increased deposit of U.S. government documents in microfiche\nformat.  U.B.C.'s collection continues to grow, though the increase last year was\npartly offset by replacement of the microprint edition of the British Sessional\nPapers of the 19th Century.\nDuring another period of retrenchment, in 1981, the Senate Library\nCommittee proposed that serials expenditures be limited to 60-65% of the total\ncollections budget for 1981\/82, and that the target be reduced to 60% by 1984\/85.\nAdditional funding obtained later that year, largely through a special allocation\nmade available with the assistance of the Universities Council, resolved that\nquestion by bringing the percentage spent on serials down to 54-55%.\nSubsequently, the funds were included as a continuing collections grant, allowing\n1982\/83 serials costs to be held at roughly the same level as in 1981\/82. Other\ncontributing factors were the elimination of many duplicate subscriptions, and the\nvery favourable European exchange rates.  In future, the Library will try to keep\nserial costs within the 55-60% range.\nThe statistics reported annually on collections growth (Appendices A and B)\nreflect the number of items for which processing has been completed and do not\ncorrespond precisely to the number of items actually purchased during the course\nof the year.  Since cataloguing backlogs are always present, the rate of growth may\nappear relatively constant when in fact the number of books purchased fluctuates\nconsiderably from year to year.  It may be of interest to note that in 1982\/83,\n44,960 monograph titles were acquired through our central Acquisitions Division.\n(Monographs for Law, Woodward, and the hospital libraries, ordered separately, are\nnot included in that figure.)  For purposes of comparison, last year's total is\nsomewhat higher than the corresponding figures for the early to mid-1970's\n(1973\/74: 41,955 items) but considerably lower than figures for the late 1970's\n(1978\/79: 56,031 1979\/80: 53,531).  While there are many factors which influence the number of books purchased in a given year, the figures suggest that we cannot\nbe complacent about the number of non-serial items currently being added to the\ncollection.\nAnother aspect of the collection which is not adequately revealed in the\nstatistics is the very significant growth in the collections of non-book materials\nwhich help to support research in the humanities and related areas.\nWe have been able to complete the purchase on microfilm of the Goldsmith's-\nKress Library of Economic Literature: Resources in the Economic, Social, Business,\nand Political History on Modern Industrial Society, Segments I & II. This extensive\ncollection of 50,000 to 60,000 titles includes the books published before 1850 which\nare held in these two very important libraries.\nThe Library has taken out a subscription to another important microfilm\ncollection, The Eighteenth Century, which will include all significant English\nlanguage books published in the 18th century.  The collection will be purchased\nslowly over a very long period of time, unless future donations or collections\nbudget increases allow us to speed up the rate of acquisition.\nThe annual output of the Canadian Institute for Historical Microreproduction,\na federally-funded project to film all pre-1900 Canadiana, is also being acquired.\nThe acquisition of this material will greatly increase our holdings of early Canadian\npublications and provide insurance against the rapid deterioration of those original\ncopies that we do have in our collection.\nLong term efforts to improve our files of newspapers on microfilm have\ncontinued as well.  While Canadian titles have received closest attention, we have\nrecently tried to add some key European titles.  Important additions include the\nOttawa Citizen (complete to date), Montreal Gazette (complete to 1932), Winnipeg\nFree Press Report on Farming (complete), Frankfurter Zeitung (complete), Journal\ndes Debats (complete) and Neue Zuercher Zeitung (1780-1872).  During the summer\nof 1983, the Library succeeded in obtaining a grant of $50,000 from the Social\nSciences and Humanities Research Council to purchase some additional lengthy\nEuropean files. With the support of several external funding agencies we have, in recent years,\nbeen able to build up a significant collection of material on Japanese business\nhistory.  The collection, which we believe is unique in Canada, supports a new area\nof interest in the History Department.\nWithout the external funding provided by SSHRC and other agencies such as\nthe Vancouver Foundation, the purchase of large, expensive sets of research\nmaterial would be extremely difficult.  The contribution that such funding makes\nto the continued development of our collection as a resource for research is\ngratefully acknowledged.\nServices:\nTraditional measures of library use are the number of items circulated to\nborrowers and the number of reference questions answered. The appendices\nprovide a breakdown of loans transacted, interlibrary loans in and out, reference\nquestions by type, and, recently, computer-assisted searches.\nIn the year under review circulation transactions in the aggregate increased\nfrom 2,181,794 to 2,255,623, up by 3.4 percent over 1981\/82.  Most departments of\nthe Main Library reported increases, and altogether the Main Library's circulation\nwent up by 8.7 percent.\nUntil this year, items circulated from reading rooms were counted with those\nfrom branch libraries.  Now that reading rooms are no longer part of the library\nsystem, their data are not reported.  On the other hand, figures appear here for the\nfirst time for the two hospital libraries newly part of the system, Hamber Library\nat the Shaughnessy complex and St. Paul's Library.  Most branches reported\nincreases over the previous year.  The subtotal for branch libraries shows a slight\ndecline from 1,104,018 loans in 1981\/82 to 1,095,835 in 1982\/83.  Adjusted to\nexclude the reading rooms and the two hospital libraries from both years, branch\ncirculation would show an increase of 4.4. percent from 1,035,366 to 1,080, 602.\nA category reported here for the first time, under the caption \"Interbranch\nLoans\", indicates 24,052 interbranch transactions among the units of the Health\nScience Library Network.  The network was established to share the resources of the U.B.C. health science libraries, which are linked by computer terminals and\ndelivery services.  A network office based in the Woodward Library draws heavily\non the Woodward collections and to a lesser extent on the branches to provide rapid\ndelivery of hard copy requested at any of the member units.  The headquarters\noffice also provides a back-up reference service to the branches.\nInterlibrary loan activity between the U.B.C. Library system and other\nlibraries has fallen off considerably over the last four or five years. The number of\nloans from U.B.C. reached a peak in 1978\/79 at 24,198 transactions, and the figures\nhave declined every year since then: 1979\/80 - 24,042; 1980\/81 - 21,245; 1981\/82 -\n21,097; 1982\/83 - 18,600.  The drop in 1982\/83 would be greater if we excluded the\n1,343 loans made by the Film Library, a recent addition to the Library system.\nThe decline in the number of outgoing items can be attributed in large part to\na reduction in requests from the post-secondary colleges of British Columbia. The\nextent to which this reflects reductions in programs and library budgets is not\nclear.  As U.B.C. is the major lender in the province, the decline in loans is\nprominent in this Library's statistics.\nInterlibrary borrowing on behalf of U.B.C. users was at its highest level in\n1979\/80 at 8,175 transactions. The figure dropped to 7,168 in 1980\/81 and to 6,117\nin 1981\/82.   1982\/83 saw an increase to 7,855, including 762 films.  The reasons for\nthe rise and fall in demand by U.B.C.'s users are not apparent, but since the rate of\nsuccess in obtaining loans from other libraries remains fairly constant, the reasons\nwould seem to lie outside the Library.\nReference and information activity for the Library as a whole grew by more\nthan five percent over the previous year, from 322,560 to 339,317 questions of all\ntypes.  The divisions of the Main Library experienced an increase of seven percent,\nwhile the branches as a group had an increase of 3.3 percent. Questions are\ncategorized as directional, reference or research, depending on their nature and\nthe time required to answer them. For the entire system, there were increases of\n6.5 percent in \"reference\" questions and 17.2 percent in \"research\" questions.  The\ndemand for assistance in finding information remains very high and calls for a\nknowledgeable and experienced staff of reference librarians to cover the full range\nof subjects taught and researched at U.B.C. 10\nComputer-assisted bibliographic searching of remote data bases is an area\nwhich continues to develop and expand.  The total number of searches recorded in\nthe Library system in 1982\/83 was 6,633, up by 69.4 percent over the previous year.\nMost of the increase can be attributed to the growing internal use of on-line\nsearching principally for verification and location of interlibrary loans.  Growth in\nthis category was a remarkable 91.9 percent.  As on-line searching becomes a more\nroutine aspect of reference service, continued increases can be expected.  Another\nfactor in the increase was the inclusion of figures from Hamber and St. Paul's\nlibraries.  Users of health science libraries are among the most active consumers of\ncomputer-assisted bibliographic searching.  The Woodward Library and the three\nhospital libraries account for more than half of the total for the system.\nArts\/Sedgewick Computer Terminal Room\nIn the summer of 1983 a computer terminal room was installed on the lower\nfloor of the Sedgewick Library.  Some fifteen terminals, provided by the Faculty of\nArts, were thus made available for student use and for classroom exercises.  The\nterminals were installed and are maintained by the University Computing Centre.\nThe facility is usually heavily used.  In the future, the number of terminals can be\nincreased to about thirty, and a printer can be added in an adjoining room.\nAsian Studies Library\nDuring the summer of 1982 the Indic-language books from the Main Library\nwere transferred to the Asian Studies Library.  This fulfilled one of the objectives\nin the development of the Asian Centre, bringing virtually all of the Asian-\nlanguage library materials of the University under one roof.  It also served as a\nreminder that the shelves of the Asian Studies Library would be full by 1984, as\nexpected.\nAccess to Periodicals Study\nAccess to issues of periodicals has been a long-standing concern of librarians\nand library users.  The issue of whether periodicals should circulate has active\nchampions on both sides.  For some, anything less than freedom to take periodicals 11\nto their offices, laboratories, or homes is useless.  Others believe that the value of\nthe collection is reduced if they are unable to find the issues they need in the\nlibrary at all times.  As funds for duplicate subscriptions have been greatly reduced\nby rising costs, the question of ensuring access to periodicals appears still more\nurgent. To look into the question of ways to improve access to periodicals and\nparticularly the question of circulation, a committee was established in January,\n1983.  The committee planned a survey of availability of periodicals to take place\nin November with a final report to be submitted in the spring of 1984.\nLoan Regulations and Procedures\nIn November, 1982, with no dissenting vote, Senate approved a change in the\nloan regulations enabling the Library to suspend the borrowing privileges of faculty\nmembers who had not settled outstanding accounts for library fines. The change in\npolicy was made necessary because a few individuals, fined for returning requested\nmaterial late, were not being penalized.  All borrowers must now conform to the\nsame regulations or else forego borrowing from the Library.\nA new system of notifying borrowers about overdue materials was inaugurated\nin October, 1982.  It is a pleasure to report that the system is more effective,\neasier on both the borrower and the library staff, and less costly than the one it\nreplaced.  When a person borrows a book, a message can be produced immediately\nat the check-out point, listing any books that may be overdue. The printed\nmessage can be retained by the borrower as a reminder.  Once the message has\nbeen delivered, it is dropped from the file. If the message is not picked up within a\nmonth of the due date, a reminder notice is generated automatically and mailed to\nthe borrower.  The new procedure has substantially reduced the number of notices\nmailed to borrowers.\nAnother change was the simplification of the end-of-term recall process.\nPrior to the change, some borrowers waited to be billed for replacement charges\nbefore returning or renewing books after the end of term.  As charges were\ncancelled when the material was returned there was no penalty, despite the 12\nconsiderable amount of non-productive work created for library staff.  Now a flat\nrate is collected for each invoice processed even though the materials are\nsubsequently returned.  This change should make it possible for the staff to spend\ntheir working time on more useful work.  It is also expected to improve the\navailability of materials for other users and to reduce the number of books that are\nlost permanently from the collection.\nThe Library and Reading Rooms\nAnticipating concern about the withdrawal of Library support for reading\nrooms, the Library provided those responsible for their operation with a specially\nprepared manual entitled Guide to Procedures for Maintaining Reading Rooms.\nIntended as a basic description of procedures and useful information, the manual\noutlines services available through the U.B.C. Bookstore and the Purchasing\nDepartment as well as those still to be provided by the various Library divisions.\nThe Library also conducted a survey of reading rooms to determine which  were\nintended to continue (all but one) and what were the perceptions about services\nneeded from the Library (mainly help with cataloguing).  The report of the survey\nis being studied to determine what changes might be possible.  These will obviously\nhave to be considered in the light of further reductions in resources and demands\nfor other services.\nTechnical Processing:\nThe quantity of items ordered, received, and catalogued did not change\nsubstantially in 1982\/83.  Some trends affecting the work of the technical\nprocessing divisions are worth noting:\nFor various reasons, many major suppliers of monographs have reduced their\ninventories of titles held in stock.  This is particularly true in the United States,\nwhere financing costs and changes in tax regulations have increased the cost of\nmaintaining large inventories.  As a result, orders must be placed quickly if titles\nare to be obtained from current stock, and long delays are more frequently\nencountered, even for fairly recent titles.  Additionally, the tendency for\nassociations and societies to require prepayment is increasing, further complicating\nthe ordering process. 13\nCataloguing processes were also affected by the revised reading room policy.\nReading room titles are no longer added to the library catalogue. Instead,\ncatalogue copy is provided to the reading room when it is available.  The survey of\nreading room operations, completed during the summer, indicated that the  full\ncataloguing service hitherto provided was badly missed.\nMore than 69,000 new titles were catalogued in 1982\/83.  The high output can\nbe attributed in part to improved methods of automatic searching for catalogue\ninformation using acquisitions data such as Standard Book Numbers.  Backlogs of\nmaterials awaiting cataloguing fluctuated from 46,000 to 56,000 items, with a\nslightly rising trend. This material is, however, listed by author and title and is\navailable on-demand for patrons through a rush cataloguing procedure which\ncontinues to work well.  The need to reduce backlogs must always be balanced\nagainst the economies of waiting an appropriate length of time for catalogue copy\nto be distributed by national libraries. To eliminate the backlog entirely would\nrequire increased staff for original cataloguing.\nThe operation of the Catalogue Products Division continued as usual last year,\nAn area of growing concern is the maintenance of the computer-based catalogue.\nThere have not been funds to use the authority support facility available with the\npresent system.  Since sufficient staff time to carry out this work manually is no\nlonger available, there is an increasing inconsistency within the catalogue data\nbase which is reflected in the microcatalogue.  Full implementation of the\nB.C.L.N. system would have provided the means to reduce this problem. The\nLibrary must now explore other solutions if the quality of the catalogue is to be\nmaintained.\nLibrary Systems Development:\nThe Phase One implementation project for the British Columbia Library\nNetwork (B.C.L.N.) required a heavy commitment of time from the U.B.C Library\nsystems staff during the year.  This project marked the end of several years of\nstudy and investigation into the feasibility of a local library computer system that 14\ncould be made available to all libraries in the Province.  Five libraries participated\nin Phase One, using software based on the catalogue system developed for the\nWashington Library Network, installed on a University of Victoria IBM 4341\ncomputer by Biblio-Techniques, Inc., of Olympia, Washington.\nThe evaluation of the system features, including benchmark and cost data,\ndemonstrated the system to be competitive with present services and attractive\nfor the improvements it offered. For continued operation, however, the system\nrequired assurance of a minimal level of usage and a long term financial\ncommitment.  Since the prospect of budget reductions made it impossible to obtain\nthe necessary commitments from participating libraries, the B.C.L.N. project has\nbeen discontinued.\nB.C.L.N. would have provided a support system to meet future as well as\ncurrent needs.  In particular, it would have permitted the implementation of an online public catalogue.  U.B.C.'s substantial investment in time and money in this\nproject since its inception many years ago was made in support of a cooperative\napproach to obtaining improved library services and resource sharing.  These goals\nremain valid but must now be considered at each institution in the context of\nreduced funding.\nWhile completion of the B.C.L.N. project affected the time available on the\npart of Systems staff for other work, some progress was made in moving towards\nthe implementation of on-line systems and the extension of batch systems.  As\nnoted elsewhere, an electronic message system for library overdues and recalls was\nintroduced.  The present circulation system was also extended to include the\nhospital libraries in the Health Science Library Network.  Improvements to the\nserial system included the implementation of on-line checking in of journal issues\nand new support for the binding of serials.\nThe use of on-line systems offers great advantages to the Library, but still\nsuffers from one serious limitation: slow response time.  While this represents an\ninconvenience to all users of the on-line systems, the cumulative effect on staff\ntime in processing thousands of transactions daily is substantial enough to make\nadditional on-line applications impractical.  In spite of efforts by the Library and 15\nthe Computing Centre to improve response time for library applications, the\nproblem persists.  There are more users during peak times than the resources can\nsupport with reasonable performance.  One solution would be to have a larger,\nfaster central computer; another would be to have an additional computer\nprimarily for library applications.  In the meantime, slow response time has\nrequired examination of existing on-line library usage of the computer and\ncurtailment of further implementation of on-line systems.\nDuring the year, a review of systems projects was completed and a priority list\nfor future systems work was developed, based on consultation with all parts of the\nLibrary system.  A key requirement in the coming year will be  providing systems\nthat improve operational efficiency.\nPersonnel:\nChanges and Appointments\nA number of librarians undertook new assignments during this year. The\nexpansion of services to the teaching hospitals required a reallocation of\nadministrative responsibility for Library public services.  Bill Watson was named\nAssistant University Librarian for Public Services (Central Libraries), with\nresponsibility for the Main and Sedgewick libraries, and Heather Keate was\nappointed Assistant University Librarian for Public Services (Branch Libraries).\nElsie de Bruijn moved to the Woodward Biomedical Library as Associate Head, and\nwas replaced as Head of the Marjorie Smith (Social Work) Library by Judith Frye.\nNick Omelusik, previously Head of the Reading Rooms Division, become Head of\nthe Catalogue Products Division.  During the absence of Ann Yandle on study\nleave, Joan Selby served as Acting Head of Special Collections.  Laurenda Daniells,\nUniversity Archivist, assumed responsibility for the Data Library while the Head,\nLaine Ruus, was on leave.  Margaret Price transferred to a reference position in\nthe Woodward Library, having previously worked in the Retrospective Conversion\nUnit in the Catalogue Records Division. Joe Jones also left Catalogue Records to\nbecome a reference librarian in the Humanities Division. 16\nNew appointments in 1982\/83 included Lore Brongers, who returned to the\nMacMillan Library as a half-time reference librarian; Janice Kreider as Science\nBibliographer; Jo-Anne Naslund as reference librarian in the Curriculum\nLaboratory; and Brenda Peterson as a catalogue librarian in the Catalogue Records\nDivision.\nRetirements\nStephen Johnson retired at the end of June, 1983, having worked in various\nLibrary departments for twenty-six years.  After working in Acquisitions,\nCataloguing and Serials divisions, he became Head of Serials in 1965 and was in\ncharge of that division throughout the period of very rapid growth in the serials\ncollections.  In 1972, he became Research Bibliographer, a position he held until his\nretirement.\nMaria Horvath, employed in the Library for twenty-two years, almost entirely\nin the Humanities Division, retired at the end of the reporting year.  She was\nresponsible for the subject areas of east European languages and literatures,\nGerman language, literature and history, Italian language, medieval history and\nChristian sects.  She compiled an extensive and important bibliography of the\nDoukhobors and is now working on a comparable bibliography of the Hutterites.\nHelen Goetz joined the Library staff in 1965 and retired at the end of March,\n1983.  For most of that time she was in charge of the mendery and, except for\nbrief periods when she had an assistant, she was single-handedly responsible for all\nof the bookmending carried out within the Library.\nArdelle Henderson retired at the end of December, 1982. She had joined the\nLibrary in 1971, working for several years as a keyboard operator. She became a\nmember of the Humanities Division in 1979. 17\nSenate Library Committee:\nThe Senate Library Committee met twice during the year, in the fall and in\nthe spring.  In addition, a special tour of the Library was arranged for members of\nthe Committee, focusing on the extent of technological change in the provision of\nservices and in the processing of library collections.  The Committee gave its\napproval to the issuing of \"gold card\" privileges to members of the Wesbrook\nSociety, to several minor adjustments in loan policies and procedures, and to the\nallocation of collections budgets for 1983\/84.  At its April meeting, the Committee\ninitiated steps to revive consideration of the 1981 Library Development Proposal,\non which a definite response had still not been received.  The Committee also\nreviewed the situation of reading rooms following the change in Senate policy and\nelimination of the Library's Reading Rooms Division.

These searches tend to be complex and often involve the use of\nseveral data files.\n5. Library staff searches are usually for the purpose of verifying the existence and location of\ndocuments and ordering them on-line as interlibrary loans.\n6. A single reference search may involve the use of more than one data base. Staff time for a\nreference search may vary depending on the number and combination of data bases used.\n7. SDI reports: the number of monthly updates distributed to clients. Current awareness (SDI)\nprofiles are included in columns 1 to 5 only when they are initially established or\nsubsequently revised.
