Introductory Remarks\nBecause annual reports traditionally are devoted to the theme of progress,\ngeneral conditions tend to be overlooked. The preceding photographs form\na backdrop for the events and circumstances described in the following\npages.\nStatistical evidence supports the impression these photographs make.\nIn five years the collections have doubled in size, and at present rates\nof acquisition they will contain at least one million seven hundred thousand volumes, as well as hundreds of thousands of documents and microforms,\nfive years from now.\nIn 1962\/63, the Library loaned 653,091 items. Last year 1,445,778 items\nwere loaned, an increase out of all proportion to the increase in enrolment\nfrom 13,598 to 18,310 students in the same period. Unless enrolment restrictions are imposed, numbers of students will exceed 30,000, and even\nif enrolment is held to present levels over two million items will be loaned\nwithin the next few years.\nThe decentralization of services and collections have helped the Library\nto adapt to recent increases. The past few years have witnessed the\nestablishment in rapid succession of the Woodward Biomedical Library, the\nForestry\/Agriculture Library, the Music Library, the Mathematics Library,\nthe Marjorie Smith Library (Social Work) and the Institute of Fisheries\nLibrary. But despite the opening of new libraries, there is little space\nremaining for the expanding collections, and the need for study seating, in\nlibraries or outside of libraries, has not been met for this year's enrolment\nof 20,000 students. Even with the inclusion of new study facilities in 2\nBrock Hall, there is only one seat for every seven students at present.\nStandards for a large university consisting for the most part of commuters\ncall for roughly one seat for every three students in the humanities and\nsocial sciences, one for every four students in the sciences. That U.B.C.\nrequires this standard of accommodation is borne out by the results of the\n1966 Student Library Survey, which revealed that 54.69% of the students had\ndifficulty in finding a place to study, and that 80.72% of the students\nspent more than one hour each day in the Library; in fact 31.32% spend more\nthan three hours every day in the Library, as much time as the average\nstudent spends in classes.\nUnfortunately, what is already a bad situation can only get worse. No\nfunds for further construction are in sight, and even if funds were available\ntoday, it would be several years before new library buildings were ready for\noccupancy. The physical library system as it exists today is all that will\nbe available for the increases of the near future. Previous annual reports\nhave drawn the attention of the University to the prospects of more acute\ncrowding of students and staff, and the removal to storage of parts of the\ncollection. Hard work and ingenuity can not remedy the fundamental problems\narising from simple lack of space.\nAn honest acknowledgement that the Library faces nearly insoluble problems\nmay at least prepare the University community for the difficult times that\nlie ahead. 3\nI I. Buildings and Services\nIt is customary to give over to a discussion of the collections the earliest\nchapter of the annual report. This year, however, the inadequacy of the\nLibrary's physical accommodations far outweighs in importance the state of\nthe collections. The aim of a library is simple, even though it may be\ndifficult and expensive to achieve: to provide readily the materials a\npatron requires and a table at which he can use them. The University of\nBritish Columbia Library is failing in this prime objective, and it is failing because of its physical accommodations, and for no other reason.\na. Library BuiIdings.\nPlanning for the expansion of 1ibrary .faci1ities has been under way for\nseveral years. The framework for a system of branch libraries and reading\nrooms was set up on November 4, 1965, when Senate approved a document entitled\nPolicies Governing the Establishment and Growth of Branch Libraries and\nReading Rooms Outside the Main Library Building. Within this framework a\nsecond lengthy document was developed by B. Stuart-Stubbs and W. J. Watson,\nentitled A Plan for Future Services, and issued in June 1966 to the Senate\nLibrary Committee, the Deans, the Administration, the Architect Planner and\nthe Academic Planner. Its substance was presented in the previous annual\nreport,\nA number of factors must be taken into consideration in planning a system of\nlibraries. Of principle importance are the following:\nA. Geography. The U.B.C. campus is large. When fully developed its\nacademic core will occupy a rectangle of about 4800' by 3200' A\npedestrian campus with peripheral vehicle access and parking is contemplated. Climatic conditions make it desirable that such service 4\nfacilities as libraries be located as close as possible to potential\nusers.\nB, Demography. According to current planning, academic \"zones\" will be\ndeveloped, which will locate the Health and Life Sciences in the southeast corner of the campus, the Pure and Applied Sciences in the southwest and centre, and the Humanities and Social Sciences in the north.\nThe Woodward Library is already in existence to serve the first of these\n\"zones\"; the Main Library, supported by a few branch libraries and reading rooms, is now serving in an unsatisfactory way the rest of the\ncampus. Within each of these zones, new estimates of student population\nare now available, and whereas for planning purposes two years ago a\ntotal enrolment of 22,000 was used, today the figure is a staggering\n34,371 by 1973\/74.\nC. Needs of Faculties and Departments, Each discipline has its own particular library requirements where collections and services are concerned.\nNo single library could meet such a diversity of requirements; yet\nlibraries can be developed which serve the common needs of several\nfaculties and departments in broad subject areas, as in the case of\nthe Woodward Library. There was a time when libraries devoted to special interests could be developed, but the lines between disciplines\nhave been blurred, and the interests of students and faculty members\nrange over a host of topics in many parts of a library collection. To\nfragment collections and services can work against more interests than\nit serves. In designing a library system, it is not enough to assume\nthat a certain type of library can be constructed, without analyzing\nthe use made of collections by the potential users, an ability afforded to this University through the automated circulation system.\nD. Growth of Collections. While it may be possible to set an upper limit\nto the growth of the student body, no end is in sight where the growth\nof library collections is concerned. However, not all books are equally\nused, although all might be essential at one time or another in the\nlife of the university. The day must come when the less frequently\nused material is moved into storage, or, depending on the state of\ntechnology, miniaturized or converted to digital form. It follows that\nuseful limits to collection size should be set in developing new libraries .\nE. Economy of Operation. Every service point adds to the cost of operation,\na fact which argues in favour of multi-disciplinary libraries as opposed\nto faculty or departmental libraries, and in favour of a type of architecture which allows services to be concentrated as much as possible in\none area of a building.\nF. Technological Change. Much is said and written about the promises of\nfuture systems of information storage and retrieval, involving miniaturization, machine encoding, on-line access to data banks, and so on.\nThe long-term implications of these unrealized systems can only be\nguessed at, but even the most futuristic-minded prophets do not predict\nthe end of libraries. What the Library must do is to adapt to change,\nand exploit new techniques as they become practical, and this has been\nits approach. In architecture, what is called for is design flexible\nenough to accommodate new combinations of people, equipment and material.\nAlready the Library has made notable progress in introducing new technology into its operations; this is described in a later section of this\nreport. 6\nG. Experience. Planning outside the context of the experience of other\nuniversities and libraries would be foolhardy. There have been hundreds\nof new library buildings erected in North America in the last few years,\nand many experiments performed. There is an abundant literature to be\nexploited and related to the needs and characteristics of our own situation.\nDuring the fall of 1968 a revised edition of A Plan for Future Services will\nbe issued, based on the latest predictions of enrolment and on a re-examination of the factors listed above. The aim, as has been said, will be to\ndesign a library system which will permit every user conveniently to locate\nand use the material he needs.\nb. New Branches.\nThe fall of 1967 witnessed the opening of new branches for Forestry\/Agriculture and Music, both in new specialized academic buildings. While these\nfacilities marked an advance in services to faculty members and students\ndirectly concerned, they had little effect on general library conditions.\nA development that will have a greater effect is the planned addition to\nthe Woodward Biomedical Library. A Client's Committee under the chairmanship\nof Dr. W. C. Gibson moved swiftly through the stages of the user's program\n(October 1967), to the architectural program (February 1968), to the schematic drawings, to the final drawings, and finally to the bidding process.\nThe addition will be completed by the spring of 1970, making available double\nthe existing space for collections and triple the space for users.\nAt the time of writing, no other library facilities are in the detailed\nplanning stage. 7\nTwo other developments may alleviate crowding in the Library. One is the\nopening of the Student Union Building, whose lounges and cafeterias may\nremove from the Main Library some of the social role it has played. The\nother is the conversion of the ball room and cafeteria areas of Brock Hall\ninto a study area containing about 450 seats, a development mentioned\nearlier and already taken into consideration in stating that in 1968\/69\nonly one seat is available for every seven students.\nAgain, it must be emphasized that this situation is critical. On the\naverage, fewer than half of the 20,000 students are in classes at any one\ntime. The rest must be accommodated elsewhere, and the majority will look\nfor a place to study and read.\nc. Reading Rooms.\nThe thirty reading rooms scattered around the campus for the most part\nstill lack a formal affiliation with the Library, and the conditions described in previous annual reports still apply. For a third consecutive\nyear, the budget submission of the Library for 1969\/70 contained a proposal\nfor the organization and central financing of reading rooms. A clear need\nfor properly maintained reading rooms exists: their very existence, eked\nout of departmental supply and expense and research funds, is proof of that.\nHowever, the financing of the reading rooms must be acknowledged by the\nUniversity as an item separate from and above the normal Library budget.\nThe Library should not be forced into a position of supporting reading rooms\nat the expense of neglecting the development of services and collections in\nits larger branches. d. Services.\nHours of Opening\nThe Library now maintains one of the largest schedules in North America,\nmajor branches being open from eight in the morning until midnight daily,\nexcept for Saturday, when they close at five, and Sunday, when they open\nat noon. In the fall of 1968 the Brock Hall study areas will be open for\nan even longer period of time, from 7:30 a.m. to 2:00 a.m. Monday to\nFriday, from 7:30 a.m. to midnight on Saturday and from 9:00 a.m. to midnight on Sunday. These extended hours may be sufficient to satisfy the\nneeds of the minority of students who prefer working in the early hours\nof the morning.\nOne development which will have an affect on hours of operation is the\nproposal before Senate that the summer sessions be extended for teaching\npurposes. It is presently the custom of the Library to cut its hours of\nopening back to about forty a week in the period between Spring and Summer\nTerms. During this period most of the public service employees take their\nvacation, and other staff members are reallocated to clear up backlogs\nand to work on special short term projects such as inventory. If the\nsummer session is extended, it will be necessary to extend hours, and this\nwill require additional staff.\nBorrowers and Borrowing\nRecorded circulation of library materials swelled to 1,445,778 items in\n1967\/68, almost double the figure of 1963\/64, and an increase of more than\n21% over 1966\/67. For the second year, circulation from Branch Libraries\nexceeded circulation from the Main Library, a desired result of the\ndecentralization of collections and services. Reflecting an increasing 9\nneed for materials on the part of undergraduates, circulation in the Sedgewick Library has doubled in three years, and indications are that a further\nsignificant increase will be registered in 1968\/69. In September 1968,\ncirculation in the Sedgewick Library was 150% higher than in September 1967,\na circumstance for which early registration alone can not account.\nIt has been the usual experience that the decentralization of collections\nand their situation in improved surroundings adjacent to interested borrowers has resulted in heavier use of collections, which can be taken as an\nindication of improved educational opportunity and experience for students.\nThe housing of the Sedgewick Library and science collections in new buildings\nwould have a dramatic effect on circulation, and would markedly improve the\nquality of education.\nDuring the summer, library staff began a review of loan regulations, and\narrived at a number of suggested policy changes, which are now being\nscrutinized by the Senate Library Committee. One of the most pressing\nproblems facing the Library is the increasing amount of service it is\nrendering to students of other institutions, and to the community at large.\nThe person unfamiliar with the Library actually requires more staff assistance than one of the University's own students, and as often as not the\nmaterial required is also in demand by our own students. Since the Library\nis the largest collection of scholarly books and documents west of Toronto,\nit has an obligation to meet local and national requirements which can not\nbe satisfied elsewhere, yet at the same time some system of limitation must\nbe devised to protect the interests of the University community. 10\nCopying Service\nIn only half a dozen years, improved copying machines have become a major\nfactor in extending library resources in an environment of mass education.\nIn 1966\/67 machines installed in U.B.C. Libraries produced more than\n532,000 copies. In 1967\/68 the figure had risen to 871,110, and it would\ncome as no surprise if the total reached a million in 1968\/69. During the\nsummer additional coin-operated machines operating for a nickel a copy\nwere installed in old and new locations. In addition to saving students\nhundreds of hours of time, the copying process has the effect of keeping\nmaterial in the Library for use by other students.\nReference Services\nDecentralization of services accompanied the decentralization of collections\nin the case of the new branches for Forestry\/Agriculture and Music, affording more specialized assistance to students and faculty in those areas.\nApart from this, the most significant development in the area of reference\nservices was the creation during the summer of a new division of Information\nand Orientation, located in the Main Concourse of the Main Library. The\nprimary function of this division is to improve the usefulness of the Library\nto the students by rendering individual assistance in the use of the catalogue, providing general information, directing inquiries to the appropriate\ndepartment, and by instructing students in the basic techniques of library\nuse and bibliographic research. In this latter activity, extensive use will\nbe made of audio-visual techniques and published guides.\nA step towards reducing the complexity of services within the Main Library\nwas taken this summer when the Humanities Division was moved into the\nRidington Room, bringing services in the humanities and social sciences\ntogether in the same area. 11\nRegrettably the real potential of reference service has yet to be tapped,\nand will not be tapped until more branch libraries are constructed, and\nuntil staff strength is increased to the point that a qualified reference\nlibrarian is available at each service point during all the hours of\nopening.\nIncreases in reference staff have not kept pace with the increase in the\nnumber of hours of service, with the result that the level of assistance\navailable on evenings and Sundays is low. Increased assistance at these\ntimes would leave the public service divisions short-staffed during the\npeak periods of the day. The dimensions of information today are such\nthat it is becoming increasingly difficult for the individual to gain\naccess to the material he requires without the intervention of an information specialist. To reach a point of optimum utility, it is essential\nthat the Library have the human resources to assist library users to\nexploit the full resources of the collection.\nIII. Col lections\na. Funds.\nIn 1967\/68 the expenditures for books and magazines dropped suddenly and\ndrastically from $1,515,364 in 1966\/67 to $1,011,181. This signalled the\nend of the funds available from the gift of Mr. H. R. MacMillan, and of a\nperiod of rapid development of collections, which'had seen the Library\nincrease by a third in only three years, a rate of growth unprecedented 12\nin the history of large academic libraries. Regrettably the University\nhas not since been able to maintain anything approaching the level of\nspending on collections necessary to the development of a university with\ngrowing ambitions in research and graduate study, and with increasing\nnumbers of undergraduates. In dealing with the reduction of 1967\/68 and\nthe further reduction of 1968\/69 the Senate Library Committee had many\ndifficult decisions to make regarding priorities. Their accommodation to\nthe cutback, in its simplest terms, was to maintain as much as possible\nthe level of spending for current publications, both books and periodicals,\nand to reduce drastically allocations for the purchase of retrospective\npublications. Most seriously affected, therefore, were those faculties\nand departments which have a need for older books, both in and out of\nprint, and for journal backfiles and works of reference. At the end of\nAugust more than a dozen such departments had exhausted their funds, with\nseven months remaining in the fiscal year.\nBy way of contrast, the University of Toronto spent $1,416,171 in books\nand magazines in 1967\/68, while the University of Alberta spent $1,506,803.\nOverall Library expenditure per student at Toronto increased from $200.69\nin 1967\/68 to $210.28 in 1968\/69, and at Alberta from $245.17 to $247.55.\nBritish Columbia's universities have not registered the same gains. The\nnewer universities, at a time when they are still building basic collections,\nhave had to curtail per capita spending. Simon Fraser University's level\nof expenditure dropped from $307.99 to $251.00, and the University of Victoria's from $322.50 to $307.63. At the University of British Columbia 13\nthe decline was from an already-low $169.24 to $162.09. At this rate,\nU.B.C. became twenty-sixth on a list of thirty-six Canadian university\nlibraries in terms of per capita support. Lower than U.B.C. are: Acadia,\nMemorial, St. Francis Xavier, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Selkirk, Sir George\nWilliams, Waterloo and Waterloo Lutheran,\nb. Acquisi tions.\nIn last year's annual report it was stated that a library collection, in\norder to satisfy its users, must meet the criteria of currency, depth and\naccess. That is to say, new material must be available soon after publication, a broad range of older material will be needed as a base, and\nindividual items should be available at the time they are wanted by an\nindividual user.\nThe first of these criteria is the one that is being met most successfully,\nand progress is being made toward meeting the third through the purchase\nof multiple copies. However, the previously mentioned budget reductions\nare impairing the library's ability to develop the depth of collections\nnecessary for graduate study and research in all fields. That serious\nshortcomings exist in this aspect of the Library was clearly demonstrated\nin Robert B. Downs' Resources of Canadian Academic and Research Libraries,\nOttawa, Association of Universities and Colleges of Canada, 1967. In\nevaluating the collections of all Canadian academic libraries, Dr. Downs\nemployed two formulas. The first, a somewhat simple standard recommended\nby the Canadian Association of College and University Libraries, calls for\n75 volumes per full time student; applying this to U.B.C, Dr. Downs discovered that in 1966 the Library was 518,305 volumes short of its requirement. Using the same formula in the current year, this deficiency would 14\nbe reduced to about 450,000 volumes. More spectacular was the result\nobtained by Dr. Downs in using a more sophisticated formula developed by\nVerner W. Clapp and Robert T, Jordan of the Council on Library Resources.\nThis formula weighs seven factors; a basic undergraduate library, the\nnumber of faculty members, total number of students, undergraduates in\nhonours or independent study programmes, number of fields of undergraduate\nconcentration, number of fields of graduate concentration at the master's\nlevel and number of fields of graduate concentration at the doctoral level.\nApplied to the U.B.C. collection in 1966, it indicated a deficiency of\n1,210,885 volumes, the highest figure of any Canadian library. Alberta\nfollowed with a deficiency of 802,125 volumes, while at the end of the\nscale Toronto was calculated to have a surplus above requirement of 286,741\nvolumes.\nOther surveys of the collection have revealed its strength in respect to\nessential works. What is still lacking is the bulk of secondary materials\nwhich will give it the depth necessary to the pursuit of research and\ngraduate study.\nc. Processing.\nThe statistics of work performed by the Processing Divisions show a tapering\noff of acquisitions, paralleling the decline in funds, and an impressive\nincrease in the number of volumes catalogued, indicating that encouraging\ninroads are being made into the backlogs accumulated during the years of\nheavier expenditures. 15\n1964\/65 1965\/66 1966\/67 1967\/68\nAcquisitions Division\nOrders Placed\nVolumes Received\nSerials Division\nCurrent Subscriptions\nGovernment Publications\nDocuments Received\nCatalogue Division\nVolumes Processed\n(exclusive of backlog)\nVolumes Processed\n(inclusive of backlog)\n31,939 49,744 54,323 27,520\n42,532 93,607 97,503 74,212\n5,970 7,430 j^gjj 11,750''\n40,752\n70,907\n70,907\n52,549\n65,926\n57,927\n79,984 103,640 171,478\n94,984 128,640 198,056\nDespite appearances, the increase in the number of active subscriptions\nwas 575. The apparent increase, from 8,900 to 11,750, reflects three\nfactors: the real increase; a revised definition of \"serial\", and the\nconsequent inclusion of many publications formerly considered\n\"continuations\"; and a more accurate tally of actual subscriptions.\nThe cataloguing backlog, which is listed in the catalogue under the author's\nname only and which is stored in an area closed to the public, numbered\n57,643 volumes at the end of August, over 2,000 volumes less than at the\nsame time last year, and it can be predicted that the total will drop below\n50,000 during the coming year. 16\nReorganization within the Cataloguing Division resulted in higher production,\nyet at the same time a number of special projects were undertaken and completed. The most notable of these was the division of the main catalogue.\nFormerly in a single cumbersome alphabetic sequence, it has been divided\ninto two alphabetic sequences, one for authors and titles, and the other for\nsubjects. In the latter file, all subject headings have been added in\nplastic-jacketed guide cards, a feature which has greatly simplified use of\nthe catalogue.\nIn the course of the year, the routines of the Serials Division and the\nAcquisition Division were automated. These developments will be discussed\nin a later section of the report. 17\nIV. Administration\na. Organization and Relationships.\nAt its meeting of May 22, 1968, the Senate adopted new terms of reference\nfor the Senate Library Committee. (See Appendix G) In the new terms there\nis an increased emphasis on communication between the Library, the Senate\nLibrary Committee, the Senate, and the University community. In response\nto this, the Library has begun to issue on a monthly basis a newsletter to\nFaculty, U.B.C. Library News, and the Senate Library Committee has adopted\na heavy schedule of meetings for 1968\/69, and proposes to bring to Senate\nreports on their deliberations, particularly as they affect policy. The\nLibrary has consolidated a strong administrative structure which is\nproductive of consistency, efficiency and economy. Thus no radical changes\nin the internal structure of the Library have taken place in the past year\n(See Appendix E), other than the addition of the previously mentioned new\nbranches. However, the increasing size of the staff and complexity of\nthe organization have been the cause of difficulties in communication. To\nrectify this situation, a U.B.C. Library Bulletin is now published frequently and circulated to library staff members. The Bui let in carries administrative information and notices, and supplements the staff-produced monthly,\nBiblos. In addition, a policy and procedure manual is being compiled, in\norder to ensure consistent practices in all parts of the library system.\nThroughout the year, the Librarians of U.B.C, University of Victoria and\nSimon Fraser University met periodically to continue the work of developing\ncomplimentary collections and compatible automated library systems, and of\nexploring all possible areas of co-operation. Information networks based\non electronics, although they are still a thing of the future, will require 18\nfirm foundations which must be laid now. Realizing that it will not be\npossible for any one Library to keep abreast of all fields of knowledge in\ntheir collections, librarians are stressing the importance of mutually\nsupportive collections at the level of research and graduate studies, and\nsearching for more effective means of sharing resources.\nb. Personnel.\nThe success of a service organization rests in large part on the quality\nof the staff, and this can only be developed through the application of\nsound policies in recruitment, training and promotion. There is evidence\nthat the Library is making steady progress in this direction.\nThere are now 366-^ positions in the Library's establishment, 912\" of which\nare positions for professional librarians, the remainder being positions\nfor employees in a diversity of classifications, such as library assistants,\nprogrammers, and technicians. U.B.C. Library is thus the second largest\nLibrary in Canada in terms of staff, following the University of Toronto\n(7152 positions) and being followed by the University of Alberta (348\npos i tions).\nFor the first time in many years, the salary floors for librarians were not\nraised, placing the Library in a disadvantageous position in recruiting.\nThe U.B.C. floor is $6500, compared with $6800 at the University of Victoria,\n$7000 at the University of Alberta, $7200 at the University of Calgary, and\n$7000 at the University of Toronto. Out of thirty-three institutions responding to an annual survey conducted by the Canadian Association of College\nand University Libraries, one library has a starting floor of less than\n$6500, U.B.C. shares the $6500 floor with four other institutions, and the 19\ntwenty-seven remaining institutions offer more than $6500. Fifteen offer\n$7000 or over. Since it is anticipated that a further increase in floors\nwill occur next spring at other institutions, U.B.C. will have a large bill\nto pay in across-the-floor increases if it is going to escape from its\nperilous position. Other local institutions now offer more money and better\nworking conditions, and this must be recognized in establishing salary\npolicy.\nThe Library Assistants, by contrast, found their position improved. The\nintroduction of a four-level classification for library assistants, combined with competitive salary scales and a policy of promoting staff members\nas they become qualified, into more senior positions coming vacant, has paid\nencouraging dividends. In 1965\/66, the turnover rate was 68.27%; in 1966\/67,\nit dropped to 54.12%; and in 1967\/68 it declined further to 43.88%. Admittedly this rate of turnover is still high, but the trend is in the right direction, and considerable savings have been made already in the time spent in\nstaff training. The increased experience of staff has also resulted in better\nservice to library borrowers.\nThe situation can be improved by the introduction of more changes in personnel\npolicy. Prominent among recommended changes are: salary differentials for\nshift work; a new classification of Library Assistant V which would permit\nthe transfer to library assistants of work presently performed by librarians,\nand enhance the prospect of careers for non-professional library staff;\nincreases in the length of the scales, which are too short; improvement of\nfloors in some parts of the scale; provision for exceptional salary raises,\nin recognition of outstanding performance; and more reasonable treatment of\nreclassification requests. 20\nc. Systems Development.\nThe University can be justifiably proud of the progress which has been made\nin the application of the principles of automation to library routines. In\nits fourth year of operation, the computer-based book lending system is\nstill the largest of its kind in the world, and has afforded benefits to\nlibrary staff and users not to be obtained by manual systems. While it has\nincreased the efficiency of routines and record-keeping, the information on\nthe borrowing habits of students and faculty which it compiles is equally\nimportant to the future success of the Library. For instance, a use study\nof the books housed in the Main Library's Reserve Book Collection revealed\nthat of 9,000 volumes, 5,000 were not used frequently enough to justify\nbeing placed on reserve, and that in fact the students would have been\nable to make better use of the books had they been loaned on the usual\nbasis. Further such studies will be performed, involving the relationship\nbetween the size of classes, the length of reading assignments, and the\nuse of books, with a view to developing practical guidelines for faculty\nto use in preparing their reserve lists.\nA number of other studies are in progress. One such study will analyze\nthe use made of library materials by students in the Arts I programme,\ncompared with students in the regular Arts programme. Another study will\ndetermine by an analysis of recorded use whether changes in loan and overdue policies are indicated, and will evaluate our present practices as\nthey relate to the user.\nDuring the year, two other systems went into operation; one for the\nmanagement of serials records, one for the acquisitions process. 21\nThe serials system has been under development for some time, and will\neventually record holdings of all serially issued publications, and make\nthe record widely available. An early by-product was Serials Holdings 1967,\nwhich will be published annually. The system has progressed to the point\nthat it now maintains records on a daily basis, and provides copies of the\nrecord to major service points in the Library. Another by-product will be\na bindery schedule based on the predicted completion dates of volumes of\ni ndividual ti tles.\nLate in the report year, an automated acquisitions system was initiated,\nwith a view to improving accuracy and efficiency in bibliographic records\nand accounts.\nOther operational systems, such as those for producing the accessions list,\nthe phonograph record catalogue, the Mathematics Library catalogue, and\nmaintaining the brief-listing scheme for uncatalogued materials, continue\nto be refined. In order to assist the TRIUMF Project in handling it's\ncollection of report literature, a special indexing system is being devised,\nand this system will be sufficiently flexible to permit its application to\nother collections of literature, such as government documents, pamphlets\nand microforms.\nFew Libraries in North America can boast of such a comprehensive programme\nof automation. What is particularly impressive is the fact that so much\nhas been accomplished with a staff of two systems analysts, two programmers,\nand eleven machine operators. Although the emphasis has been in improving\nthe internal records and processes for operations and management, the\ngroundwork for the utilization of more sophisticated systems of automation 22\nand information retrieval has been well laid. Ample and regular support\nhas been provided by the Data Processing Centre, but as new systems offering on-line access to mass storage become available, the Library must be\nable to avail itself of them or the effect of today's achievements will\nbe blunted.\nV. Concluding Remarks\nThe tone of the preceding report is far removed from that of the report of\nthree years ago, when the Library marked its first half century of service.\nAt that time, the Library seemed to be on the threshold of a period of\nexpansion which would raise its collections and services to the levels\nnecessary to support a thriving major University. But now the promise of\nthat year has waned. Collection development has been retarded by a decline\nin funds. Most serious of all, the University's needs have outstripped\nthe Library's ability to serve them through existing structures. At the\ntime of writing, there is little cause for encouragement and none for\ncomplacency.
