Report of the University Librarian to the Senate\n1955\/1956\nUNDER THE PRESSURE of rising enrolment, universities can\nhardly escape becoming great diploma mills during the next\ndecade unless they pay more attention to their creative role\nin society. This is no wild surmise. If university revenues\ndo not swell as rapidly as the ranks of students, mass techniques must be employed to squeeze out the necessary number of\ndegree-bearing graduates. In this process of physical growth,\nif increasing emphasis is not put upon advanced study and\nresearch, the universities will become more celebrated for\nlonger than for higher education. Research will be abandoned\nto industry and government, and education will repeat the\nproven and the known.\nPerhaps a higher proportion of Canadian than of U. S.\ninstitutions will be disturbed by this influence of mass upon\nequilibrium. In few Canadian universities are graduate studies\nyet highly developed, and if an overwhelming share of available\nstrength is drawn off for the lower end of the university\nprogram, advanced work will be seriously impaired.\nThe University of British Columbia would be particularly\nvulnerable to the effects of such a diversion. Advanced study\nis in a thriving state in most of the science departments and\nhas spread at many points into the social sciences and humanities. But demands upon University energies and facilities in\nexcess of what the budget can bear will stunt this vigorous\ndevelopment at an early stage. 2\nThere are few restrictions upon entrance to the University\nof British Columbia\u2014anyone who has completed the required course\nin an accredited secondary school in the Province, with the\nrecommenJation of the principal, may take a fling at a college\neducation. Such a liberal policy of admissions harmonizes with\nthe needs and objectives of a democratic society, but it creates\neducational problems which may interfere with the function of the\nUniversity.\nA small private college can, by strict entrance requirements\nand the close personal attention of faculty, do much to control\nits educational environment and standards. A large university,\nhowever, is somewhat less able to ensure a high level of attainment from every student. It must, instead, be able to offer outstanding opportunities for development to those who will take\nadvantage of them.\nThe University of British Columbia as a small college has\ndisappeared. If, in its place, we are to have a large institution, it must offer the very real compensations of size to offset\nits recognized disadvantages; it must not be allowed to grow\nlarge without also becoming distinguished. A first class library\nand faculty and ample research facilities are the chief requirements for academic distinction.\nA university for undergraduates without plenty of library\nresources is not an instrument of education so much as it is one\nof reproduction, turning out reasonable facsimiles of favorite\ncontemporary models. A proper library and. faculty offer the able\nstudent the opportunity to discover his own individuality upon\nwhich to develop as a human being.\nFor advanced study and research the library is as essential\nas the faculty itself. A lack of library resources will thwart\nessential exploratory work and make it difficult to attract eminent men. By leaning too heavily upon other institutions for\nresearch material, the University faces the discomforting charge\nof perpetuating itself as an intellectual colony.\nIn spite of the University's enlightened self-interest in\nproviding for basic Library growth, and the willingness of both\nfederal and provincial governments to increase their university\nsubsidies, it seems apparent under present conditions that more\nmassive support will be needed if a truly distinguished Library\nis to be secured.\nMany of the Library's finest collections are already owed to\nprivate means. Its library of Canadian history and literature\nis founded upon the eminent collections given by Judge F. W.\nHoway and Dr. Robie L. Reid. Slavonic Studies have been made\npossible by the generous assistance of the Rockefeller Foundation,\nsupported by continuing grants from Mr. Walter C. Koerner.\nForestry materials have been provided for a number of years by\nDr. H. R. MacMillan. Library resources in medicine owe much to\nthe cooperation of the Vancouver General Hospital and its affiliated health and research agencies.\nDuring the past fiscal year the following major grants from\nnon-University sources have been received:\nWalter C. Koerner. Addition to grant honouring Dr. William J.\nRose. For Slavonic Studies, $2,500.\nLeon and Thea Koerner Foundation. For material in the humanities,\n$1,000. For Canadian studies, .$1,000.\nMen's Canadian Club of Vancouver. For Canadian publications in\nEnglish, annual grant of $500.\nH. R. MacMillan. Continuation of grant for publications in\nforestry.. Gifts of rare material chiefly relating to western\nhistory.\nWalter C. Koerner, Leon Koerner, the B. C. Electric Company.\nFund for library materials for Asian Studies, $1,500.\nThe Vancouver Italian-Canadian Mutual Aid Society, and five\nmembers of the Vancouver Italian community. For Italian\nstudies, $650.\nFrom numerous donors to the Dr. Gilbert Tucker Memorial Fund.\nFor historical materials, chiefly the microprint edition of\nthe Sessional Papers of Great Britain, $3,051.\nImperial Optical Company, Vancouver. Grant for books relating\nto ophthalmology, $500. 4\nThe Dr. Charles A. Eggert Memorial Library Fund. Income of\n$20,000 bequest to purchase books in the field of medicine,.\nB. C. Forest Products Limited. Grant of $500 for International\nStudies.\nThe Friends of the Library of the University of British\nColumbia\u2014an organization just inaugurated at the end of the\nacademic year\u2014promises to be influential in getting an active\nprogram of accelerated growth under way. This is a wholly new\nfactor to be reckoned with in the development of the University\nLibrary.\nThe Record\nThis has been a very full year. For a nominal increase in book\nfunds a significantly greater number of books and journals were\nreceived; more material than every before was borrowed at the\nLoan Desk, somewhat less from the Reserve Room; and another\nincrease was realized in Bindery output. In some other respects\nwhich cannot be adequately represented statistically the Library's\nproblems have enormously increased.\nThe Fiscal Record\nTotal Library support during the past half-decade has increased\nfrom about $162,000 to $315,000, and funds for books and binding\nfrom $60,000 (from all sources) to over $135,000. This is not\nall clear progress, for both inflation and new service requirements (chiefly the new Faculty of Medicine) eat voraciously into\nthis larger grant. As faculty become increasingly aware of their\ndependence upon Library facilities, administration is more ready\nto finance the developments required. Non-University support has\ncome to the aid of studies which could not otherwise have been\npursued. 5\nDuring the fiscal year 1955\/56 the following amounts were\nexpended upon books, periodicals, and binding (with comparative\ndata for two previous periods):\n1955\/56* 1954\/55 1954\/54\nLibrary $$3,75$.10 $73,323.6$ $63,096.33\nMedicine 30,525.40 34,0$0.56 34,0$7.4$\nLaw $,$99.$$ $,530.69 7,466.71\nNon-University 11,915.59 13,729.65 10,477.03\nTotals $135,09$.97 $129,664.5$ $115,127-55\n*For more detailed statistics, see Appendix A.\nOf the annual expenditure for 1955\/56, $113,200.71 was for books\nand periodicals, $21,$9$.26 for binding. Of the total funds,\n$$3,75$.10 was appropriated directly to the Library, $39,425.2$\ncame by other University routes, and $11,915.59 from non-University sources. Of this, 29% was devoted, to two special areas\n(Medicine, Law), about If to smaller special projects (Slavonic\nStudies, French Canadiana, Forestry), and 64% to some forty other\nstaple University subject fields (last year, 33%, 10% and 57%,\nrespectively).\nThe University's expenditure upon the Library per student\nthis year was $52.$4 ($55.77 a year ago), and the ratio of\nLibrary cost to total University expenditure (omitting capital\nitems) was 5.2% (compared with 5.6 in 1954\/55).\nIt is instructive to compare library expenditures per student with some of the larger institutions which have well\nadvanced graduate programs: the University of California,\n$127.10; U. C. L. A., $95.09; Duke University, $96.51; North\nCarolina, $101.25. Our closest Pacific coast neighbors, the\nUniversities of Washington and Oregon, allow $53.00 and $72.36\nfor library use. With'$52.$4 per student, U. B. C is above\nthe median ($39.3$) of a hundred assorted colleges and universities in the U. S., but only half a dozen notable institutions\nprovide less than this University, and about thirty invest more.\nCanadian institutions range from $5,62 to $75.00, with the\nmedian at $39.50. 6\nThe Record: Acquisitions and Use\nThe year's expenditures for library materials brought in\n20,946 volumes (20,368 in 1954\/55), including 9,951 bound\nvolumes of journals (10,$6$ last year). This standard measure\nof quantity omits various types of material in micro-form,\n31,07-1 recorded but uncataloged items received from governmental\nand international agencies, 2,413 maps, and sizable yet unprocessed additions in Oriental languages and for the College of\nEducation. There were 203 new journal subscriptions placed\n(202 in 1954\/55). Lists of notable acquisitions (Appendix B)\nand of new periodical titles (Appendix C) appear at the end of\nthis report.\nThis year the number of volumes borrowed at the main Loan\nDesk increased about 6,000 over the year before, while such\ntransactions in the Reserve Book Room declined approximately\n7,000 in number. Admitting large numbers of students to the\nbookstacks has not seemingly interfered with the borrowing of\nbooks for home use, as was once predicted.\nLoans at the main Desk increased 5.$% over the previous\nyear, while Reserve use declined 1 yfo. Extending stack access\nto 3d and 4th year students may have gradually led this group\ninto the main book collection away from the very limited stock\nof books on open shelves in the Reserve Book Room. This explanation would be difficult to prove but is tempting to consider.\nIn reporting interlibrary loan statistics it can be noted\nthat for the first time loans to other institutions were more 7\nthan double the number of items borrowed, 1,17$ compared with\n523 (previous year 1,049 and 727); of these the Bio-Medical\nLibrary accounted for 2$6 and 106.\nOne of a number of quantitative measures of a university\nlibrary's standing as a research collection is its interlibrary\nloan statistics, particularly the relationship between the\nnumber of volumes borrowed and lent. With a single year's\nexception, (1952\/53) when medical library facilities were far\ninferior to the research needs of the faculty, the University\nLibrary has maintained a credit position for many years.\nThe Record: Increasing Pressures\nThere are currently three kinds of pressures which tend to limit\nor to tax to the limit the Library's capacity for service.\nChanges in personnel impose a serious burden upon Library\noperations, affecting both cost and effectiveness. This matter\nwill be reviewed more fully below, but with a turnover during the\nyear of 105% of the clerical staff and of 66% of all persons,\nthe very basis of service itself is weakened.\nMuch more encouraging, and yet ominous, are the problems\nimposed by a sharply increased demand, coming in two dimensions:\nfrom the expansion of the University both in physical and academic\nstature, and from a growing campus concern with Library development and use.\nGreater enrolment\u2014the absolute increase in the number of\nphysical bodies jamming the service desks, lining up at the\ncatalogs and indexes, and trying, sometimes desperately, to\nborrow the same list of books\u2014is a serious problem for Library\nand user. More students, particularly in the first two years,\nmean more persons engaged in the same assignments, competing for\nthe same books. Behind, the desks, for every book that is lent,\nfour or five other requests may not be filled, and finding a book\nis far quicker than looking for it. Peak periods have become\nhigh plateaus, and slack times, during which many of the routine\noperations were formerly carried out, have disappeared. Former\nspare-time jobs must now be scheduled and paid for. $\nNew departures (into Asian Studies, elementary education)\nand the development of existing academic interests (in sociology,\nclassics, chemistry, economics and political science, commerce\nand business administration, to name a few) make new claims upon\nfunds and staff alike.\nGrowing faculty interest in the Library is noticeable,\nbrought about partly b~y~ new academic appointments and expanding\nresearch, partly by larger book funds and the active acquisitions\nprogram promoted by the Library staff. By whatever causes, the\ncrescendo of requests for books and journals reaches the flood\nstage by the winter term. Some ten thousand orders were placed\nduring the year, but the number of requisitions received and\nchecked was almost twice that. Procedures have been simplified,\nshortened, abandoned. Speed of action at this vantage point in\nthe process of development is fundamental to an expansion program.\nDeveloping Library use has been stimulated over a period of\nyears by a program of acquainting new students with the Library,\ncarried on jointly by the Library and faculty. There is no\ndoubt that by this means the students' ability and readiness to\nuse Library materials have been markedly increased, and reports\nfrom eastern universities upon experience with U. B. C. students\nthere corroborate this fact. Some thirty-five classes in\nbeginning English alone were given instruction and training twice\nduring the year, plus some thirty hours devoted to other departments. The influx of hundreds of additional new students each\nyear, however, raises the question whether this valuable\ninstruction can be continued in its present form.\nThe Library, it must be remembered, operates a year-round,\nday-and-night university, open to all comers throughout a\n79-hour week. Too thin a stock of essential books and too tight\na staff schedule create repeated crises which cannot be avoided.\nThe long range solution will be a larger and better established\nstaff and more adequate facilities, but much can be accomplished\nimmediately by closer cooperation and understanding on the part\nof faculty and students.\nThe Library is regarded by most users strictly from the\nconsumer's point of view. It might well be an automat or a dispassionate public utility, providing hot and cold running water. However convenient these notions, they bear little relation to a\nreal library organization. Regular processes, yes, vast\nmaterials, and a self-disciplined professional staff; but the\nLibrary is no automatic hopper into which to toss indiscriminately\nchecked book catalogs, carelessly prepared requisitions and\nreading lists, competing class assignments. The Library will be\neffective not only because of the calibre of the staff and\ncollections but because those who participate in its use take\nsome responsibility for its usefulness\u2014in proportion, perhaps,\nto their own expectations.\nThe Needs: Books and Book Funds\nGreater usefulness promotes greater use. There is, unfortunately,\nno simple way of assessing the holdings of a library and reporting upon its value as a research collection. Evaluations can be\nmade by subject fields, checking against lists of most cited\njournals and of standard reference sets, and by noting whether\nthey satisfy needs as expressed by local users. This sort of\nchecking is being done continuously at U. B. C, not to ascertain\nrank among other libraries, but to discover and remedy weaknesses\nin fields where advanced work is being done or considered. One\nof the significant functions of the Library staff is to carry on\nsuch self-analyses jointly with subject specialists who are\nwilling to be involved.\nAs a measure of usefulness, a list of the most cited journale\nin a number of scientific fields was checked against the\ncollections. Although the list itself is over a decade old, it\nwas used to rate a large group of U. S. libraries and is a guide\nof sorts for us. 10\nThe journals were listed in the order of their usefulness\nas measured by the number of times they were cited in scientific\nliterature, and the several fields in which our holdings were\nstudied are arranged in the following table according to their\ncomparative rank (completeness of holdings) at this University.\nLibrary Holdings in List of Most Cited Journals*\nNo. of\nCom\nPar\nNoth\n1st h\n]\nRank\nField\nTitles\nplete\nFile\ntial\nFile\ning\nof list\nComplete\nAll\n1st \u00a3\nChemistry\n105\n59%\n2ixi\n17J\n69%\n1\n2\nAgronomy\n59\n54%\n3$%\n8%\npi\n2\n1\nPhysics\n102\n52%\n32%\ni6i\n64%\n3\n4\nGeology\n66\n4$%\n31?\n21%\n67i\n4\n3\nPhysiology\n103\n46%\n42%\n12%\n60%\n5\n5\nBot any\n110\n45%\n31$\n24%\n47%\n6\n$\nSoils\n64\n45%\n33%\n22%\n59%\n7\n6\nMathematics\n102\n37%\n35?\n2$%\n55%\n$\n7\nElect. Eng,\n50\n32%\n42%\n26%\n44%\n9\n9\nNo comprehensive attempt has been made to check our standing in\nall these fields in relation to other institutions. But in\nchemistry, for example, our strongest field by this test, we\nhave in 1955 the approximate periodical holdings reported by the\nUniversity of Colorado in 1943 and are well below the position,\nsay, of the University of Washington a dozen years ago. There is\nnot very much comfort for U. B. C. here.\nLike annual taxes, the cost of journal subscriptions and of\ncurrent publications must be paid out of recurring funds, since\nthey are perpetual commitments. Most collections must grow both\nat front and rear, and regular opportunity must therefore be\nprovided to catch up with the past. Ventures into new fields\nor into graduate work call for special capital grants to get some\nkind of working collections assembled quickly, and regular\nappropriations thereafter like any other part of the University.\nThese costs are a first charge against scholarly developments.\n*From the list prepared by Dr. Charles H. Brown for the Association of Research Libraries, 1943. 11\nA considerable part of the recorded increase in Library\ncollections during the past few years has been because of medical\nlibrary development, without which the Faculty of Medicine would\nbe unable to function. This is particularly true of new journal\nsubscriptions, and half of the titles added during the year were\nprimarily of medical interest. Back sets will continue to be\nacquired for several years, but the medical journal list will\nlikely be extended only with new developments in the medical\nFaculty. The time has now come, therefore, to place more\nemphasis upon other subject fields, and a considerably increased\nappropriation will be requested for such periodical subscriptions.\nFor the coming year minimum additional needs should be provided for in the book budget as follows:\nFor new journal subscriptions $3,000\nTo increase the Library Committee Fund for\nresearch publications 1,000\nIncrease in departmental allocations 4,000\nResearch collections 5,000\nLibrarian's General Fund 3,500\nReference works, government publications $00\nMultiple copies for undergraduate use 1,000\nS.S. and M.A. taxes, etc' 1,000\nA minimum increase of $19,300\nThe Needs: Personnel\nThe position of the professional librarian on this campus has\nalways been vague, even anomalous. Except for a few persons at\nthe top, with administrative titles, and classed with \"Academic\nand Administrative Executive Personnel,\" they have been vaguely\nand variously ranked with clerical and \"service\" staff. With\ndemands upon the Library becoming ever more heavy and specialized,\nsome quite radical change in the status and pay of university\nlibrarians must be made if a Library of high standing is to be\nattained. 12\n\"Faculty\" status on the campus is now largely, although not\nentirely, limited to members of the University who are primarily\nclassroom teachers. Certain administrative officers are in fact\nincluded, as dealing with \"academic\" affairs. At what point\namong the basically non-teaching staff (research professor,\nresearch assistant, resident artist, librarian, editor, etc.) the\nfine line between \"faculty\" and \"non-faculty\" is to be found is\na matter calling for some nice distinctions and decisions.\nProfessional librarians have educational qualifications\nwhich compare favorably with those of the teaching faculty of\nvarious professional schools. The librarian's education is\nacademic because his work is fundamentally academic. In the\nUniversity he is concerned with the literature of the several\nacademic fields, and whether or not he is a specialist in the\nsubject matter of one of them (which is the type of specialization with which, his teaching colleagues are familiar) , he has\nspecialized knowledge of the sources of data upon which their\nwork depends.\nIt is no longer seriously possible to believe that in any\nprofession can hacks, quacks, and tyros carry on effectively.\nBecause of the enormous complexities of contemporary scholarly\npublication and of the highly specialized subject matter and\npersonnel which characterize the modern university, it is\nessential that librarians be educated people, dedicated to the\nextension of education and research. Their creative task is to\ndevelop research collections, encourage among intelligent\nstudents a self-sufficiency in their use, and work with colleagues on the teaching and research staff toward joint objectives.\nSo important is the function of the University Library and\nso great the competition for competent university people to man\nit that if U. B. C. is to become one of the great modern universities on the continent, attention must very soon be paid to\nthe predicament of the professional Library staff. Their salary,\nstatus, and relationships with other academic personnel must be\nopenly examined and re-evaluated, or the group as a serious professional body will disappear. 13\nTurnover of Staff. During the year 44 persons left the\nLibrary staff, out of a total of 64. Of these $ were Librarians,\nof a total of 25 (a turnover of 33%); 12 were Library Assistants,\nof 16 such positions (a loss of 75%); and 24 were of the clerical\ngroup totaling 23 (105%). There was a turnover of 66% of the\ntotal staff. The average length of service was as follows\n(omitting for this count five long-time professional members\nranging from 1$ to 42 years):\nAverage (Mean) Service in Months\n1955\/56 1954\/55 1953\/54 1952\/53\nAll staff 30.6 33 35.1 27.5\nProfessional 49-2 42 35-9 23\nOthers 22 2$ 34.6 32\nAverage length of service for employed professional staff increased during the year, but this ignores five vacancies which\nexisted during the University session, three of which were filled\nby persons without library training and experience.\nPersons in the clerical and Library Assistant positions\nmaintain many of the basic processes upon which library services\ndepend, and the University Personnel Department is very much\naware of the difficulties of securing and retaining this staff.\nParity with city salary scales and working conditions, and just\nrewards for continuing employment must be provided if service is\nto be sustained. (Appendix E, Library staff as at August 31,\n1956; Appendix F, Professional Activities of the University\nLibrary staff.)\nThe Library of the University\nThe University Library is in some respects an impossible undertaking, always faced by the dichotomy between universal knowledge\nand specialization. While University departments recognize the 14\n\"specialist's splintered view of the universe,\" the Library is\nthe model of subject integration. This does not argue against\nthe pursuit of a problem from a specific point of view, but it\naccounts for the centrifugal force which tends to pull the\nLibrary asunder.\nThis is no place to analyze in. detail the advantages of\ncentralization and departmentalization. It can be briefly said\nthat branch collections take more from the University's budget,\nare divisive, and seriously frustrate those who must cross into\nother disciplines. Without careful supervision, special\ncollections become not only larger but more general as interests\nexpand beyond an existing periphery.\nPerhaps the ideal university (if site and price were no\nobject) would be a large group of buildings radiating from a\nlibrary like spokes from an axis; or several such wheels surrounding hubs of smaller diameter. In either case the library would be\ndisposed to the advantage of related groups of users, and library\nstaff could be chosen with appropriate subject specializations.\nCost would increase very markedly but so also would service, and\nlibrary, research, and teaching would be properly integrated.\nAt the University of British Columbia (where site and price\nare of some consequence) we should now perhaps dream of a less\nlimited, future. With a million more dollars in the Library budget,\nseveral useful changes could be prudently managed. Departmental\nlibraries would still be impracticable; their scope is too small\nand their number too many. Large concentrations of material and\nstaff would be far more productive and manageable: a library for\nthe pure sciences, another for applied; one for the biological\nsciences, medicine, and agriculture; and a fourth for the social\nsciences and humanities (with a large storage stack for non-\ncurrent material). Such comprehensive special libraries under a\ncentral administration are still quite possible on the basis of\nthe site plan alone. They would require much duplication of\nmaterial-(for example, between the pure sciences, biological\nsciences, applied sciences) ; and. some departments and schools 15\n(such as architecture, chemical engineering, forestry, geology,\nmathematics) might remain in a poorly articulated position.\nA twelve million dollar University living on a six million\ndollar budget\u2014a three hundred and fifty thousand dollar Library\nbeing urged to give a million dollar service\u2014until the University can more nearly match its income with its inclinations,\nsome contribution of energy and patience by faculty and of\nwillingness and ingenuity on the part of Library staff will continue to be essential.\nDuring the year the long talked of delivery service between\nLibrary and faculty was successfully instituted. Twice-daily\nrounds by truck are made to a possible forty-five stations in\nresponse to calls telephoned to \"Library - Delivery Service\" for\npick-up or delivery. When faculty want specific items or have\nanything to return, the Library is as close as the nearest telephone .\nSenate Library Committee\nThis official advisory committee is the established place of\nexchange between Library and faculty. Through it, by osmosis or\nless gentle means, the needs and desires of the University\nrelating to library service find expression and are turned into\nworkable forms. Members of the Library Committee represent the\npoint of view and concern, but not the restricted interests, of\ntheir own particular disciplines. They are the official protagonists of the Library in the Faculties, to devise policies\nand pi-o grams to foster Library development on a University-wide\nba si s. 16\nThe Committee met in November, December, and April, under\nthe chairmanship of Dr. Ian McT. Cowan, to allocate book funds\namong subject departments, expend the Committee Fund of $2,000\nupon research materials, discuss the Librarian's annual report\nto Senate (before and after publication), and to concern itself\nwith a multitude of problems relating to personnel, funds and\ncollections, the building, internal operations, faculty participation, and library service. A lively interest on the part of\nindividuals in some of the faculties to secure membership in this\nCommittee suggests either an increasing concern for Library\ndevelopment or dissatisfaction with present arrangements\u2014in\neither case an awareness of the Library's importance. (For membership of Committee and Terms of Reference, see Appendix G.)\nThe Building\nThe Library is inside the building, but the hard outer shell has\na very direct effect upon its development and use. Are the books\ngenerally accessible? Is the Library expensive to run? Are\nnoise and confusion a serious problem? Is there adequate space\nfor book storage and use? Is the staff effectively and comfort- \\\nably cared for? Are traffic lanes and work spaces conflicting?\nThe original Library building was designed for a college of\n1,500 students, in the \"English Gothic\" style. Like many other\nsuch buildings of the '20s, the plans called for imposing height\nand an impressive facade, with a commodious entrance hall in\nkeeping with its exterior tone. Much of the lower portion served\nchiefly as an entryway, with more spacious quarters on the floor\nabove. Plans called for wings to right and left, and in 194$,\nthe building was more than doubled in size. The annex to the\noriginal block extended reading space on the upper floor and\ncharged the old traffic lanes with most of the new load.\nThe University Library in 1956 is faced with a large and\nnoisy hoard of students who descend hourly upon its five-foot\nGothic entrance. They burst through the swinging doors, meeting\nthere other lines of students marching out, and their healthy\nvoices reverberate around, the groined chamber and rise ahead of 17\nthem into the vaulted Concourse. Not planned for such a contingency, the great central block of the Library is most uncongenial for study and is an almost uncontrollable source of confusion\nand noise which breed and spread throughout the building.\nMassive reading rooms, poorly planned traffic routes, a\nmixture of study and staff space, areas defying or not receiving\nacoustical treatment, an almost complete lack of opportunity outside the bookstack for contact with books, these all adversely\naffect operations and use. Poor study conditions outside the\nbookstack make stack access a privilege, but as an extension of\nthe reading rooms, not to permit closer association with books;\nadvanced students and faculty are at a disadvantage.\nThe University Library needs its promised second wing now,\nalthough it is not contemplated in the present ten-year building\nplan. It is already needed because the eight hundred seats are\nwell filled throughout the day, and expanded services (repeatedly\nmentioned, in earlier reports) press for attention. It is also\nrequired to alleviate conditions arising from the meeting of\nEnglish Gothic and mass use:\nTo provide a new, adequate entryway and sound baffle,\ndesigned to accommodate the large volume of students coming and\ngoing from hour to hour.\nTo create facilities at ground, level for a general collection\nof books and for reading space sufficient to meet the major needs\nof students in their lower years; thus to provide them ready\naccess to the most pertinent material and to reserve the main\nbookstacks for more advanced use.\nTo set up reading rooms of smaller size in order to reduce\ncommotion and to improve study conditions.\nTo permit the removal of study tables from the Loan Desk\narea to avoid the confusion arising from a mixture of service and\nstudy space, and to make room for the public catalog which is now\ncrowded into a busy passageway. 18\nNoise\nNoise in the Library is partly a factor of building design.\nAggravated by this condition, it is also an aspect of general\nstudent behavior on the campus. The fact is that a considerable\nnumber of persons, for their own reasons, seriously interfere\nwith Library use by the majority, and to date no force of public\nopinion has been exerted against it.\nThere are good reasons why student behavior is basically a\nproblem of self-government. In large groups students can resist\nauthority with considerable social approval, and do it anonymously. Equally pertinent is the fact that librarians have no\nactual force with which to exert control; faculty have the grade\nwielding power at their command, but students know full well that\nthe librarian has no way to cope with them if they get out of\nhand. \"Quiet campaigns\" at examination times, and spot checks\nupon noise conditions and noise-makers have been attempted, with\nsome temporary success. The Library staff cannot become policemen because of lack of time, and the surety that repressive\nmeasures will only create greater opposition.\nUniversity students are expected to develop self-control\nas part of their education\u2014higher education is a teaching, not\nan enforcement process. The cooperation of student groups,\nincluding the Alma Mater Society, is needed, but considerable\nsupport from administration and faculty will also be required to\ndevelop a new attitude toward Library use. Discipline cannot be\nimposed at the University, it must be engendered. 19\nSchool of Librarianship\nPlanning continues for the establishment of a graduate School of\nLibrarianship at this University. A cumulating need for competent\nprofessional staff in all types of library service, the special\ndifficulty of securing such personnel in western Canada, a larger\npotential of graduate students because of increasing university\nenrolment, and the new challenges to professional education\nrising out of changing social conditions and recent trends in\neducation for librarianship all argue for the establishment of\nsuch a school. The University has now taken over from the B. C.\nDepartment of Education full responsibility for the training of\nteacher-librarians, and this responsibility logically devolves\nupon the proposed library school. The School of Librarianship\nwill then be in the unique position of providing a fully articulated program of professional education, giving both undergraduate\ncourses for students in the College of Education and graduate work\npreparing librarians for positions in universities, public\nlibraries, schools, government, and business.\nStudies concerning requirements for the training of professional librarians in this area are being pursued by a. joint\ncommittee representing the Public Library Commission, the British\nColumbia Library Association, and the University. 20\nThe Friends of the Library\nThe Friends of the Library of the University of British Columbia\ncame into official existence just at the end of the academic\nyear (September 7, 1956). In the presence of Dr. J. N. L. Myres,\nBodley's Librarian, and a hundred persons brought together by\ntheir interest in books and the University, the establishment of\nthe group was announced and effected.\nDr. Myres called attention to the very high value which\nSir Thomas Bodley, founder of Oxford's great library, put upon\nits friends. It is to the \"imagination, generosity, and foresight\nof the 'great store of honourable friends' that the future greatness of this library and indeed of all our great libraries may\nwell rest.\"\nThe Council of the Friends has been created, and a well\nprinted Announcement and Invitation to join the organization has\nbeen prepared for distribution. Plans are under way to bring the\nLibrary and its Friends together in order to stimulate their\nmutual and varied interest in books and. their use. (For a list\nof the Council of Friends, see Appendix H.) Report upon Library Divisions\nThe University Library is built up of a number of working units,\nand from these stem the service, problems, and aspirations\nwhich are detailed in this report. Segregated for functional\npurposes, these operating divisions join organically at many\npoints and form a vital part of the body of the University.\nReference Division\nReference service is the product of a variety of informational\nsources, a multiplicity of guides and indicators, and a selection\nof human minds trained and experienced in their use and interpretation.\nBy (1) securing and handling materials which supplement the\nbook collections (government publications, pamphlets, maps,\nmicro-reproductions), (2) increasing the usefulness of the\nLibrary through instruction, direct assistance, and the production of guides and bibliographies, and (3) broadening the\nrange of available information to include resources of other\nlibraries, the Reference Division performs an essential service\nin the University.\nOver 36,000 publications were received and recorded during\nthe year (of which 31,071 were from governmental and international organizations, 2,431 were maps, and 467 university\ncalendars). Lists were checked for needed material, and 1,$91\nvolumes put through the Library bindery. Of more than 17,000\nquestions answered, $,000 came by telephone, 4,500 from off-\ncampus sources. Hundreds of persons were introduced individually\nto reference materials; and about 100 hours of class instruction\nwere given in Library use, of which 1,400 students in the\n\"Freshman Project\" comprised the major part. These twice-yearly\nlectures included practical assignments, requiring the preparation of hundreds of separate questions and the correction\nof 2 x 1,400 problems, added to the normal work load of the\nDivision. Offering special programs of Library orientation to\ndepartmental secretaries; conducting quantities of tours for\ncampus and off-campus groups; and the mounting of 70 carefully\ndesigned displays were a part of the year's total accomplishment. 22\nIn cooperation with teaching departments, selected bibliographical guides to reference materials were prepared for\nadvanced students in French and German literature, and in geography, and for beginning groups in agriculture and electrical\nengineering. When opportunity and staff coincide, individual\nlibrarians are assigned to provide special reference service for\nspecific departments.\nInterlibrary loans totaled 523 volumes borrowed, 1,17$ lent\n(for 1954\/55: 727 and 1,049), requiring 1,953 transactions,\n4,425 pieces of correspondence, and an expenditure of over\n$500 for postage and copying. (Appendix D for comparative loan\nstatistics.) Thousands of index cards relating to the Arctic\nIce Survey and a project in radio, electronics, and electricity\nwere received.\nThe annual list of Publications of Faculty and Staff was\nagain prepared, the new edition expanding from. 295 to 369\nseparate entries and from 42 to 55 pages.\nThe Fine Arts Room (Miss Melva Dwyer in charge), the\nHoway-Reid Collection (Mr. Noel Owens), and the Map Room\n(Miss Doreen Taylor) serve special groups with specialized\nmaterial and attention. The Map Room was opened to regular\npublic use during November 1955.\nStaff shortages and the necessary substitution for professional staff of persons without library training and experience limited the service given. With heavy service loads, many\nof the staff put in much overtime. Neither salaries nor working\nconditions allow opportunity for study which leads to increased\nusefulness and advancement. Miss Anne Smith, diligent leader of\nher profession in the field of reference work, was loyally\nsupported by Miss Joan O'Rourke (First Assistant) and a capable\nand industrious staff.\nLoan Division\nThe Loan Division lends books when they are desired, secures\ntheir return when required, and maintains the continuing flow\nand integrity of the Library's collections.\nOver 200,000 loans\u2014a similar number of returns, and a vast\nquantity of unrequited \"searches\"\u2014were made during the year;\nall during a 79-hour week, and under conditions which allow 23\nthousands of persons into the bookstack area and require the\nemployment of many part-time assistants. The loan record is as\nfollows (see also Appendix D):\n1955\/56 1954\/55 1953\/54\nLoan Desk 101,240 104,122 95,$02\nReserve Room 90,023 97,402 $2,$$2\n200,263 201,526 17$,6$4\nAn increase of approximately 6% will be observed in materials\nborrowed at the main Loan Desk, and a decrease of 7% in volumes\ntaken in the Reserve Book Room. This does not account for\nunrecorded use in the bookstack itself.\nCloser control of the stack entry was instituted, covering\nthe full 79-hour schedule. The annual inventory found 607\nvolumes missing in June 1956, a figure reduced to 472 by the\nbeginning of August, a hundred less than the 579 missing in\nAugust 1955. More than 700 bills for overdue books were sent.\nDuring the year the operations of the Reserve Book Room\nwere fully integrated with those of the Loan Desk, improving\nservice and security. Most reserve books are nov; transferred\nfrom the main bookstacks during the summer, rather than at the\nbeginning of term, and faculty are canvassed in March for their\nReserve selections. A number of simplifications in handling\nloans were adopted.\nRelief for crowded conditions in the main bookstacks is at\nlast in sight, for in August 1956 tenders were authorized to\ninstall new floors and shelving in the unoccupied stack \"well.\"\nDuring the winter seven levels of bookstacks and over a hundred\nnew study carrels will be installed, and in the spring, after a\nconsiderable spate of disruption and the shifting of the entire\ncollection, the promised land will at last be occupied.\nStaff turnover was nearly complete during the year, and\nMr. Robert Neale left as Stack Supervisor after ten years.\nThe Division depends heavily upon part-time student assistants,\nwho are paid less for library work than for some other types of\nemployment on the campus, and continuity for the group is not\nhigh. Miss Mabel Lanning, Head, Mr. Inglis Bell, First Assistant\nand Mrs. Frances Tucker, supervising the Reserve Book Room, by\ndint of careful reorganization and overlong schedules cope\nsuccessfully with increasing loads. 24\nSerials Division\nThe Serials Division turns the world's vast supply of periodical\npublications to the University's particular use.\nAt the end of the year, 4,424 titles were being currently\nreceived, of which 203 were added during the report period, and\n9,9.51 bound volumes augmented the Library's collections.\nOver 70 notable back files were acquired. The majority of subscriptions are handled on a continuing basis through periodical\nagencies, but 920 orders were placed for new titles, sets, and\nmiscellaneous issues. About 40 series were regularly contributed\nby faculty members. (See Appendix B-I for list of notable\nacquisitions, and Appendix C for new journal subscriptions.)\nLoans totaled 11,492 unbound issues, compared with 15,901\nduring the previous year. Another evening was added to the\nDivision's schedule, which now embraces Monday through Friday\nnights. A slight increase in evening use was recorded.\nTwo great backlogs were brought under control during the\nyear. The large purchase of journals, formerly a part of the\nRoyal Canadian Institute library, has been virtually assimilated\nafter a half dozen years; and the once enormous backlog of binding has been reduced to manageable proportions, to be handled\nhenceforth with current acquisitions.\nStaff losses chiefly affected bindery preparation but were\nnot crippling in spite of the marked increase in bindery production. High staff morale and the state of the journal collections\ntestify to Mr. Roland Lanning's discrimination and alertness in\ndealing with periodicals and people.\nUniversity Library Bindery. Again the volume of binding\nhas increased while the unit cost declined. Output for the\nfiscal year was 9,$$9 volumes in full binding and 1,9$2 in\nstorage covers (compared with 9,139 and 737 in 1954\/55). The\n$.2% rise in production, in spite of advancing costs of labor\nand materials, lowered binding costs on a per-volume basis.\nIncreased production must be attributed to Mr. Percy Fryer's\ngood management and to the willing cooperation of a competent\nand dependable staff, for no additional equipment or personnel\nwere added during the year. Each year's record of accomplishment\nis cheerfully accepted as a minimum quota toward next year's\ngoal. 25\nBio-Medical Library\nThe Bio-Medical Library has become one of the most important\nresearch collections in the University Library. This has come\nabout rapidly because of strong faculty interest, the availability\nof funds to carry out the project, and the energetic lead taken\nby the University Library staff in promoting acquisitions and. use.\nAt the end of the year the Bio-Medical collection amounted\nto 24,$97 volumes (about $,000 volumes in 1951, not counting\nrelevant materials in the main Library collection). Total subscriptions from Medical funds numbered 769 titles, of which 101\nwere added during 1955\/56 (see Appendix C). To these add 334\nperiodicals received as gifts and 477 pertinent journals in the\nmain collection, and the medical list is brought to 1,5$0 titles.\nSome 2,260 volumes of books and journals were added during the\nyear.\nRecorded loans at the Bio-Medical Branch totaled 11,203\nvolumes; records in the campus reading room are not complete\nbecause the major part of the journal collection is in the main\nLibrary stacks. Interlibrary loans totaled 2$2 volumes loaned\nand 121 borrowed (compared with 196 and 170 last year), a 60%\nincrease in books lent and a 41.7 decrease in those borrowed.\nA tabulation of the use made of journal files shows a heavy\ndependence upon volumes issued in previous decades.\nUse 0f Journals by Date of Publication*\nCurrent\nYear\nLast\nDecade\n1945\/55\nPrevious\nDecade\n1934\/44\nUp to\n1933\nBMRR\nBMB\nTotals\n536\n1,8$6\n2,422\n1,251\n4,1$\u00a3\n5,436\n427\n353\n7$0\n224\n142\n366\n*BMRR - Bio-Medical Reading Room, campus (incomplete)\nBMB - Bio-Medical Branch, General Hospital. 26\nIf only the volumes published up to 1933 had been secured on inter\nlibrary loan from other institutions, the year's borrowings would\nhave been tripled. It is also to be reported that of the journals\nused at the clinical branch, 1,215 pertained to the basic sciences,\n3,47$ to general medicine, 4,194 to specialties, and 137 were\nreviews.\nSome 40 hours of lectures were given to students in Medicine\nand Pharmacy. Ten lists of current acquisitions were distributed,\na catalog of medical films was established, an information file\nrelating to translations was set up, and the feasibility of providing a current indexing service for faculty was tested.\nCooperation with the Vancouver Medical Association Library was\npromoted.\nThe Library Committee of the Faculty of Medicine, headed by\nDr. Sydney M. Friedman, and the President's Committee on the\nBio-Medical Branch, with Dr. Lawrence Ranta as chairman from its\ninception until succeeded this year by Dr. D. M. Whitelaw, dealt\nspecifically with medical library matters.\nMiss Doreen Fraser, Bio-Medical Librarian, has given both\ndirection and energy to the program which has developed. Under\nthe general supervision of Miss Anne M. Smith, and with the continuing assistance of Mrs. Marguerite Ford and other members of\nthe staff, the Bio-Medical Library is one of the most active of\nits kind in Canada. Three staff members have resigned this year,\ntwo after three years of service, one with four, and their places\nwill be hard to fill.\nAcquisitions Division\nBusiness and bibliography are the chief factors in the acquisitions\nprocess, and under present conditions, they find themselves\narranged in that order of priority.\nThere were 9,7$0 orders placed during the year (9,02$ in\n1954\/55), bringing 9,977 titles and 10,995 volumes into the\nLibrary (not counting 9,951 volumes of bound journals). An expenditure of $113,200 was made from all sources. (See Appendix A.)\nThe use of the 9-part multiple form (introduced in July 1955)\nhas favorably affected many phases of the Division's work, but it\ndoes not of course ease the load of bibliographical searching.\nTo avoid delays resulting from developing backlogs of current 27\nrequisitions, simplifications of the checking procedure are being\nworked out. A high percentage of books requested by faculty are\nalready in the Library, and individuals are being encouraged to\ncheck book lists and catalogs very judiciously.\nDuring the year the Division established a list of 45\nstations for pick-up and delivery, and it now administers the\nLibrary delivery service.\nStaff changes of almost ruinous proportions affected the\nDivision during the year, and bibliographic checking suffered\nmost seriously from these conditions. Miss Eleanor Mercer, Head,\nand Miss Priscilla Scott, her professional assistant, faced very\ndifficult problems of management, and further attention is being\npaid to stabilizing routines in order that new staff can be\ninitiated into them more quickly.\nCataloging Division\nThe Cataloging Division provides the complicated subject pattern\nwhich holds the Library collections together, and it maintains\ncatalogs and other records supplying keys to content and meaning.\nThe following is the record of production for the Division\nduring the year:\n1955\/56 1954\/55\nBooks cataloged 11,575 13,764\nSerial vols, added 12,947 13,909\nUnbound serial entries 14-2 124\nTotals 24,664 27,797\nThe drop in output can be readily accounted for by the loss of\nfour of a total of six professional catalogers during the year\nand the vacancy of three of the positions from January until\nJune 1956. Likewise only two of six non-professional staff survived. The showing would have been even less commendable had\nvery capable catalogers not been added to the staff in the closing\nmonths of the period.\nIt can nevertheless be reported that cataloging (if not the\ntyping of cards) is on a current basis. However, several 2$\nthousand volumes from the Normal School and the Victoria Summer\nSession library remain to be processed gradually. A large\ncollection of materials in Oriental languages awaits the employment of specialists in this field. Some backlog has accumulated\nin various Slavic languages, and the re-cataloging of the medical\ncollection is not yet quite completed. Materials in the reading\nroom of the Department of Mining and Metallurgy have been processed, and other similar collections remain to be done.\nIn spite of recent handicaps and the need for additional\ntyping assistance, the Division is in a sound and vigorous state.\nMiss Marjorie Alldritt, Head, is a very able organizer, and she\nand her staff are congenial and competent workers.\nExtension Library\nThe University maintains several open doors to the Province, one\nof which is the Extension Library. Operated by the Library with\nthe cooperation of the Department of Extension, it supplements\nother library services in British Columbia.\nLoans from the Extension Library totaled 21,135 during the\nyear, with 765 borrowers paying the two dollar fee (in 1954\/55\n21,794 and $35). Theatre groups account for 1$5 registrations and\nreceived 5,621 plays during the period (2$5 and 5,923), Eight\ncorrespondence courses required 1,24$ loans (1,192). Through the\nExtension Library 1,$07 volumes were borrowed from the main\ncollection of the University Library. Reader interest centers in\nworld affairs, general science, biography and travel, and\nCanadiana.\nBasic subject lists of books are issued, supplemented\n(4 times this year) by the annotated Library Supplements.\nAppreciative letters and annual gifts, ranging from five to fifty\ndollars, reflect both interest and understanding on the part of\nmany borrowers.\nMiss Edith Stewart, Extension Librarian, is known to most of\nher borrowers by mail, but her familiarity with individual books\nand personal tastes serves to demolish the barrier of distance\nbetween them. Mrs. Norene Brackett transferred to the Extension\nLibrary during the year and gives a full share of support to this\nhard pressed service. 29\nAcknowledgment s\nThese annual acknowledgments, like greeting cards, arrive\nregularly at this time of year, are usually directed to the same\npeople, and express the good will and gratification of the sender.\nThey have a personal as well as a formal tone since they allude\nto some mutual interest and carry a special message intended only\nfor the receiver. The University Library is in some way the\npersonal and public concern of each of the individuals mentioned\nbelow, and as this- annual review is made, the Librarian pays his\nsincere respects to all of them.\nTo Dr. Samuel Rothstein and Miss Anne M. Smith, special\nyear-end greetings; they and the Heads of Divisions, supported by\nstaff, all of whom are listed somewhere in this report, have\nserved with the energy and success indicated here. During a\ndifficult financial year, the President, Finance Committee, and\nBoard of Governors have always been receptive to presentations of\nLibrary needs. The administrative departments, Library Committee,\nand Deans have given ready assistance, and many members of faculty-\nhave turned uncounted hours to -Library development in their own\nchosen fields.\nTo new Friends of the Library, and particularly to the\nCouncil of Friends, new year's greetings; now for them as well as\nfor us is the University's motto: \"tuum est.\"\nNeal Harlow\nUniversity Librarian APPENDIX A\n(1) Expenditures for Books Periodicals and Binding\nSource\nBooks and Periodicals\n1954\/55 1955\/56\nLibrary Budget $57,597.03\nFaculty of Medicine 28,355-06\nFaculty of Law 7,461.$9\nNon-University\nSources\n13,729.65\n$67,392.91\n26,325.90\n7,566.31\n11.915.59\nBinding\n1954\/55 1955\/56\n$15,726.65 $16,365.19\n5,725.50 4,199.50\n1,068.80 1,333.57\nTctals\nBooks-Periodicals-Binding\n1954\/55\n$73,323.6$\n34,0$0.56\n$,530.69\n13,729.65\n1955\/56\n$$3,75$.10\n30,525.40\n$,$99.$$\n11,915.59\nTotals\n$107,143.63 $113,200.71 $22,520.95 $21,893.26 $129,664.5$ $135,09S.97\n(2) Volumes Added to the Collections\nBooks\nSerials\nTotal volumes\n1954\/55\n9,500\n10,868\n20,36$\n1955\/56\n10,995\n9,951\n20,946 APPENDIX B\nSelected List of Notable Acquisitions\nPart I: Serials\nActa biotheoretica. v.l, 1935 to date\nActa musicologica. v.2, 4-25, 1930, 1932-53\nActa radiologica. v.21-43, 2934, 1940-55\nAmerican Entomological Society.
