This report will review progress in the light of general\nobjectives for the Library as they were described in 1978. All were intended to\nhelp achieve the primary objective of meeting the information needs of UBC\nfaculty and students. In the second part of the report, short and medium term\ngoals for the coming years will be identified.\nL General Objectives Defined in 1978\n1. Collections\n\"To select and acquire, within the limits of the financial resources\navailable, the books, journals, and other library materials needed by the\nUniversity.\"\nContinued heavy use of the collections suggests that in most areas the\nmaterials acquired by the Library are meeting genuine needs of the University.\nThere has been extensive consultation with faculty members in areas where\nrequirements may be changing, such as in the Asian and Pacific Rim collections.\nWhere it has been necessary to cut back on journal subscriptions, procedures for\nconsulting academic departments about priorities have been carefully followed.\nThose responsible for selecting books and journals for the collection are obliged\nto make difficult decisions about titles that have become too expensive to\npurchase routinely. Without a carefully balanced approach to selection, it is\npossible in these circumstances that expensive publications of considerable value\nto library users may be passed over in favour of less costly but less useful\npublications. In common with other Canadian research libraries, our ability to acquire\nthe books, journals, and other library materials needed has been seriously\naffected by inflation and the devaluation the Canadian dollar. The problem of\ndeclining acquisitions has been experienced by almost all academic research\nlibraries in recent years, and most have had to respond by cancelling journal\nsubscriptions and reducing book purchases. However, it is fair to say that the\nUBC Library is considerably less able to meet its collections objectives than it\nwas six years ago.\nThe extent to which prices for journals and books have increased over the\npast six years is intimidating. A few examples may illustrate the problem faced\nby the Canadian academic library which spends almost 95% of its collections\nfunds for materials published outside of Canada:\nIn the five year period from 1980-81 to 1985-86, the average price of\nacademic books published in the United States increased by 55.9% in\nCanadian dollars.\nPeriodicals published in the United States cost about 145% more in\nCanadian dollars last year than in 1980.\nIn the past two years, the average price of British books in Canadian\ndollars has increased by 51.3%.\nBritish periodicals on the average cost the Canadian library 94.4% more\nlast year than they did in 1980.\nThe average price of books published in Germany increased by almost 105%\nin Canadian dollars between 1980 and 1987.\nFrom 1980-81 to 1986-87, the UBC Library increased its collections\nexpenditures by 46.6% (including expenditures of additional funds provided for\ncollections when the health science library network was established). The\nLibrary administration, the President's office, and the Senate Library Committee\nhave been actively exploring ways of addressing the problem of rising collections\ncosts. Between new money and reallocations within the Library budget,\nincreases of 14% in 1986-87 and 10% in 1987-88 were provided to the collections.\nUnder normal circumstances, that would have been sufficient to help to catch up\nfrom some very dry years, but because of the rate at which prices have risen,\neven increases of that magnitude have not kept pace. -3-\nThe effect of increased prices for collections was most evident in\nexpenditures for serials, and two serials cancellation projects were required\n($150,000 in cancellations in 1981-82 and $163,000 in 1986-87). It seems likely\nthat further cancellations will be required in 1988-89. While less immediately\napparent to the library user, book acquisitions have been seriously affected as\nwell by the reduction in purchasing power.\nThough it is difficult in a large library system to establish a direct\ncorrespondence between collections expenditures and interlibrary borrowing, it\nshould be noted that the UBC Library borrowed almost 72% more items from\nother libraries in 1986-87 than it did in 1981-82. The number of items borrowed\n(10,519 last year) is not unreasonably high, but the upward trend has been\nconstant over the past six years.\nImplicit in the objective to acquire library materials needed by the\nUniversity should be a recognition of the value of information sources that\ncannot be \"acquired\" in the usual sense, but to which access can be provided\nnonetheless. For example, the Library makes extensive use of electronic\ndatabases held elsewhere. These are usually bibliographic databases, but may\nalso be quantitative or textual. At the present time, local acquisition of such\ndatabases is seldom feasible, but this may change as the Library begins to\nacquire databases like MEDLINE by subscribing to machine-readable versions on\nCD-ROM and purchasing hardware for end-user searching. Of course, large\nquantities of data in machine-readable form are already acquired and made\navailable through the UBC Data Library.\nThe provision of access to information in electronic form as a substitute\nfor the acquisition of printed materials is a subject of current interest to the\nLibrary. At the present time, the pricing of many electronic products seems\ncapricious and, under most circumstances, argues against the elimination of\ncorresponding printed publications. In each instance other factors as well as\ndirect costs must be considered if present levels of public access are to be\nmaintained. There is no doubt, however, about the growing importance to the\nLibrary of ensuring access to information in electronic form from both external\nand locally acquired sources. -4-\n2. Processing Library Collections\n\"To catalogue and classify those materials and to prepare them for use.\"\nMuch more occurs to accomplish this general objective than is suggested\nabove. Books, journals, and other collections materials must be ordered,\nreceived, paid for, claimed if not delivered when expected, recorded as being in\nprocess, catalogued when suitable information is available, and physically\nprepared for the shelves. In addition, extensive revision of shared cataloguing\ninformation is often required to place materials appropriately within special\nclassification schemes adopted at UBC years ago.\nBefore funding for the B.C. Union Catalogue Project ended in 1982, a\nsubstantial part of the Library's older catalogue records was converted to\nmachine-readable form, and these records, along with new ones for materials\npurchased since 1978, form the database for the developing online public access\ncatalogue. The spring of 1988 will see online access to the catalogue and other\nlibrary databases made available to faculty at UBC, to the Simon Fraser and\nUniversity of Victoria libraries, and to other library users (through a limited\nnumber of public terminals in key locations within the Library). A $250,000\ngrant from the Provincial Government for system-wide development made this\npossible. The proposal for funding was submitted jointly by UBC and Simon\nFraser University, with the support of the University of Victoria.\nMuch more remains to be done. A plan for technological development over\nthe next several years has been prepared, reviewed widely within the Library and\nmore recently by the Senate Library Committee. It proposes the expenditure of\nabout $3.8 million over the next six years and would bring, among other things, a\nfully developed online catalogue, a new circulation system, the automation of\nthe vernacular records for Asian collections, and automated systems for\ninterlibrary loan. The completion of retrospective conversion of records\n(RECON) for pre-1978 collections would cost an estimated additional $2 million.\nSources of funding for these developments have not yet been identified. -5-\nThe conversion of catalogue records for older materials will become\nincreasingly important as online access to the catalogues becomes the norm.\nThat part of the collection is of critical importance to scholars in the\nhumanities, and it contains materials that are unique to the province and\ntherefore of great interest to other institutions. During the past year, staff in\nsome public service divisions have undertaken preliminary conversion of older\nrecords for specific parts of the collection, but these must be revised before\nthey can be integrated into the online catalogue.\nWork has continued on other library automated systems. Current serials\nare now received directly by the teaching hospital libraries and recorded on the\nserials system, making the latest issues available sooner to those who need them.\nOther possibilities for decentralizing processing work are being reviewed to\ndetermine where costs may be reduced or service improved. To increase the\navailability of records for cataloguing purposes, the UBC Library has become a\nmember of OCLC (the Online Computer Library Center), which had in June 1987\na membership of 7,900 participating libraries and almost 16 million Marc II\nrecords in its online database.\n3. Access Services\n\"To make the collections available to the UBC community and, insofar as it\ncan be done without detriment to the interests of UBC, to make them\navailable to other institutions and individuals.\"\nThe Library has continued in its policies to emphasize the broadest possible\naccess to materials, adapting loan periods to meet demand. It is essential to\ncontinue to review loan policies as demands on the collections grow and further\nreductions are made in multiple copies of monographs and duplicate subscriptions\nto key journals. Without some revision of policies, the failure rate for users\nseeking specific items from the collection is likely to increase. In this\nconnection, an extensive review of journal titles held in the Woodward Library\nhas been carried out with a view to limiting those in very high demand to use\nwithin the Library. -6-\nThe Library ranks with the very largest academic research libraries in the\nnumber of loans it makes to users. In the most recent compilation of\nsupplementary statistics from the Association of Research Libraries (1984-85),\nthe Library's total loans exceeded those reported by any other member library.\nOnly a few libraries at private universities with particularly strong graduate\nprograms make more loans each year per FTE student (91 in 1986-87 at UBC).\nThe ratio of loans to the number of public service staff members in the Library\nis also very high at UBC in comparison to other public universities. These should\nbe taken as general indicators only, since varying loan policies among the\nlibraries may influence the volume of loans recorded. They do, however, suggest\nthat the UBC community uses the Library intensively and that the number of\nstaff available to provide basic services to the public is not excessive for the\nwork resulting from that demand.\nOver the past ten years the community beyond the University has made\nincreasing use of the Library's collections and services. This has occurred less\nthrough a deliberate change of policy than through circumstances which have\nfocused attention on the Library as a research resource for the province.\nContributing factors include:\n- Growth in enrolments at other post-secondary institutions, which has not\nbeen matched by corresponding increases in their library resources.\n- Emphasis within the business and industrial communities on high\ntechnology developments, closer ties with the University's research\ncommunity, and special interest in subjects such as Pacific Rim trade.\n- Increased interest from many high school students in making use of\nlibrary resources that are not available in secondary school libraries.\n- UBC's strong interest in strengthening its ties to the community and to\nother post-secondary institutions in the province. The Library plays an\nimportant role in bringing the community to the University.\nThe most recent survey carried out by the Library (March 1986) found that\nmore than 22% of the people present in the campus libraries were not affiliated\nwith the University. A recent one-day survey of telephone enquiries at the\ncentral information desk determined that 60% of the calls were from persons not\nformally connected with UBC. -7-\nComplimentary borrower cards are available to faculty, professional staff,\nand graduate students of other B.C. universities, and to faculty members of B.C.\ncolleges and institutes. In addition, any adult resident of B.C. may purchase a\nUBC library card, and institutional cards may be purchased by organizations. By\nfar the greatest amount of use occurs, however, through direct consultation of\nmaterials and reference staff in the Main Library and the branches, for which no\nfee is charged.\n4. Reference Services\n\"To interpret the collections to users, assisting them in making effective\nuse of the Library's resources and in gaining access to materials\nelsewhere.\"\nThe ARL supplementary statistics on the number of reference questions\nreceived also placed the UBC Library in the top ten reporting libraries for both\n1983-84 and 1984-85. More recent comparative figures are not available. Last\nyear, reference staff helped to meet the above objective by responding to\n382,803 enquiries and completing 7,330 online searches of external databases.\nInstruction in the use of the Library continued to be an important aspect of our\nefforts to promote effective use of the Library's resources, as 636 tours and\ninstructional sessions were given to 9,548 UBC students. Further improvements\nin directional signs and printed materials have also been made to help to make\nregular library users more self-sufficient. In recognition of the changing needs\nof some groups of library users, a series of instructional sessions was successfully\norganized to assist those who wish to learn to do their own online searches of\nexternal databases.\nIn recent months, reference staff have been helping with the design of\nuser-interfaces for the Library's developing online catalogue. A variety of\nmeans will be used to assist users to learn to use the Library's online databases\nmore effectively. The task of making the online catalogue an easy-to-use and\nefficient tool for the library user will require special effort over an extended\nperiod of time. -8-\nAssisting library users in obtaining access to materials held by other\nlibraries has been a part of the Library's reference services, provided primarily\nby the interlibrary loan staff, since the Library's beginning. The importance of\nthis service has grown as library users discover, through online searches of\nexternal databases, a wealth of material that might in the past have been\noverlooked. The use of electronic mail and, in many cases, the ordering of\ndocuments as part of the online search process have made the interlibrary loan\nprocess more effective. Further improvements in document delivery will be\nneeded as the Library comes to depend more in future on external sources for\ndocuments.\nWe can expect to see somewhat greater use of telefacsimile for the\ndelivery of documents in the near future, though cost and the urgency of the\nrequest will determine the extent to which it is used. The next major\ndevelopment for interlibrary loan at UBC will be an automated system for\nmanaging and expediting interlibrary loan requests.\n5. Preservation of the Collection\n\"To preserve the collection for the future.\"\nIt seems unlikely that the implications of this simple objective were fully\nunderstood in 1978. Preservation has become a critically important issue for\nlibraries as more has been learned about the life expectancy of our collections.\nNo single academic research library can hope to accomplish all that is necessary\nto ensure that its collections will be preserved for future generations; it is\nessential that the use of resources allocated for preservation be carefully\nplanned to ensure maximum benefit through cooperation with other agencies.\nUBC is a subscriber to the work of the Canadian Institute for Historical\nMicroreproductions, through which every available monograph, pamphlet,\nand broadside published by or about Canada before 1900 has been\npreserved through microfilming. The CIHM programme is continuing\nwith the microfilming of early Canadian periodicals. -9-\nLast spring a Standing Committee on Preservation was established to\nconsider approaches and priorities for the UBC Library. Following the\ncommittee's report, an extensive publicity campaign was initiated to\nmake library users aware of the ways in which damage to the collections\ncan be avoided.\n- A library committee has also been established to develop a \"disaster\nplan\" for the Library. It is an essential precaution that all possible\npreparations should be made to expedite the proper treatment of library\ncollections in the event of damage through fire, water, or other\nunexpected emergency.\n- Recently, Mrs. Suzanne Dodson, the Head of the Government\nPublications and Microforms Division, accepted the additional\nresponsibility of serving as Acting Preservation Librarian. Under her\ndirection, priorities and an action plan for the UBC Library will be\ndeveloped.\n6. Library Facilities\n\"To offer facilities for use of the various forms of library materials on\nlibrary premises.\"\nAfter a period of nine or ten years during which the need for additional\nspace has been a constant concern for the Library, it now appears that an\nacceptable plan has been developed and that support for new library space as a\nvery high University priority has been secured. Without the support of the\nPresident's office and of President Strangway in particular, this would not have\nbeen possible. I would also like to thank the Senate, the Senate Library\nCommittee, and the Chairman of that Committee, Dr. Jonathan L. Wisenthal,\nfor their efforts to ensure that additional space for library collections will be\navailable.\nDr. Wisenthal also chaired the President's Advisory Sub-committee on\nLibrary Space Planning. That Committee had its first meeting in February, 1987\nand completed its work during the summer. In those few months, the Advisory\nSub-committee met frequently and, with the assistance of consultants, reviewed\nand confirmed space requirements for the Library and for the David See-Chai\nLam Management Research Centre. A review of siting and development options\nled to a recommendation for construction of new space on the site of the former\nbookstore. The report was transmitted last fall to the President's office for\nconsideration by the President's Advisory Committee on Space Allocation. -10-\nIf the proposal goes forward and can be funded, the Library's principal\nspace requirements will be met. The major remaining task will be to renovate\nspace that has been freed in the Main Library so that services can be efficiently\norganized and current safety codes observed. In that connection, work has\nalmost been completed on the installation of a sprinkler system in the Main\nLibrary. While the process has been difficult because of the low ceilings and\ncomplex nature of the building, the result should substantially reduce the hazard\nof fire for patrons and collections.\nDuring the summer, shelving units were installed throughout the Main\nstacks wherever spaces could be put to this use. Together they provide about\none thousand linear feet of shelf space, or room for some nine thousand volumes,\nequivalent to three months' Main stacks intake of new books. At the same time,\nfifty thousand volumes were selected from the open shelves for relegation to\nwhat was previously temporary, working storage. These two moves complete the\nfull utilization of the Main Library spaces.\nIt is essential that new library space provide the best possible\nenvironmental conditions for collections. Care must also be taken in its design\nto ensure that the facility can be operated efficiently and that the most modern\ntechnology can be accommodated.\nRecent improvements in the facilities available to library users include the\nreplacement and upgrading of a number of readers and reader-printers in the\nGovernment Publications and Microforms Division. After an extended waiting\nperiod, the Library was also able to replace its public photocopying equipment,\nadding debit card readers for greater user convenience. The replacement of this\nequipment will be funded from copying revenues. Finally, with funds made\navailable by the University and the Faculty of Medicine, the Library is\nproceeding to acquire CD-ROM workstations to be located in the Woodward\nLibrary and in each of the teaching hospital libraries. With the assistance of the\nhospital library committees, funds are being raised from private sources for\nsubscriptions to the MEDLINE database on CD-ROM for each location. The new\nequipment will make it possible for users of the health science libraries to\nperform many of their own MEDLINE searches. -11-\n7. External Relationships\n\"To cooperate with other bodies in sharing resources and in furthering the\ngoals of the Library.\"\nThe Library has continued to participate in local and national cooperative\nactivities and to provide leadership where appropriate. Management of the B.C.\nPost-Secondary Interlibrary Loan Network (NET) is based at UBC During its ten\nyears' operation (1977-87), NET has provided 154,211 loans and photocopies to\npost-secondary libraries in B.C. Sixty-four percent (99,262) of these have come\nfrom the UBC Library's collections. The Library also maintains statistical\nrecords for the Media Exchange Cooperative (MEC). In 1986\/87, 2,759 films and\nvideotapes were circulated through the MEC network, with UBC providing 15%\nof the total. The UBC Library is the only academic library participating in the\nFederated Information Network, operated by the Greater Vancouver Library\nFederation for public libraries in the lower mainland. Since 1974, the Library\nhas provided 21,142 loans and copies to public and provincial government\nlibraries through the FIN network.\nIn cooperation with other member libraries of the Canadian Association of\nResearch Libraries, the Library is working to prepare a detailed profile of its\ncollections using methodology developed in the United States for the National\nCollections Inventory Project (NCIP). For each area of the collection, an\nassessment is made of both existing strength and current collecting level. The\nresults are being collected by the National Library of Canada in a machine-\nreadable database. While it may be some time before the benefits of this work\nwill be realized, we hope that improved information about the scope and depth of\nUBC's collections will assist in refining collections development policies locally\nand that a more accurate picture of Canada's academic library resources will\nlead to improved cooperation in developing and sharing resources.\nIndividual staff members serve on committees and task forces of the\nNational Library, CISTI, the Canadian Association of Research Libraries, the\nB.C. Library Association and many specialist groups, such as the Canadian\nAssociation for Information Science, the Association of Asian Studies, the Music -12-\nLibraries Association, the Canadian Association of Law Libraries, the\nAssociation of Canadian Archivists, the Association of Canadian Map Libraries,\nand the B.C. Health Science Libraries Association. The University Librarian was\nelected President of the Canadian Association of Research Libraries in June,\n1987.\n8. Efficiency and Economy of Operation\n\"To manage the operation of the Library system in an efficient and\neconomical manner.\"\nNew services have been introduced and others discontinued during the past\nsix years. Retrenchment in 1983 saw the closure of the Ecology Library as an\nofficial branch and, in the same year, the Library withdrew most of its support\nfrom departmental reading rooms. Some staff savings were realized from these\nservice reductions, but a major objective was to reduce the number of duplicate\nsubscriptions that the Library would have to maintain in the future. Also in\n1983, responsibility for the Film Library, previously part of Extension Services,\nwas transferred to the Library, along with the staff employed to operate it.\nAs noted earlier, special attention has been given to achieving more\nefficient operation through continued improvements in the Library's automated\nsystems, particularly those which are essential to the purchasing of materials for\nthe collection, the preparation of materials for use, and the creation of records\nof Library holdings. Those changes, along with other economies, have allowed\nthe reallocation in the past two years of almost $430,000 in continuing funds to\nthe collections budget.\nTechnical processing routines have received closer scrutiny and more\nfrequent review than any other Library operation. Because in some instances\nprocessing costs can be reduced or controlled through automation, the Library\nhas given a high priority to the introduction of online systems for the tasks\ninvolved in processing. As a result, more than 35 positions have been eliminated\nfrom the Processing Divisions since 1973 - it was estimated last year that these\npositions would have cost $649,000 annually in 1986 dollars. From 1978, when \u25a013-\nthe card catalogue was closed and a shift was made to online computing for all\ntechnical service systems, until 1987, 23 staff positions were eliminated, a\nreduction of about 16% in processing staff.\nMore rapid progress could have been made in the development of the online\ncatalogue system for the benefit of library users if it had been possible to\nreinvest all of the savings in its development, but unfortunately the University's\nfinancial situation has required that annual operating costs be reduced, and\nautomation of processing routines has helped to make this reduction possible. It\nhas also, of course, released funds for reallocation to collections.\nThe greatest potential for improving efficiency in the public service\noperations of the Library lies in the development of the online catalogue as an\nintegrated database system. At present, public service staff and users must\nconsult several files to determine what is in the Library's collection. Our long\nterm objective must be to represent the Library's total holdings in the online\ncatalogue and to permit the library user to interact with the catalogue by\nentering reserve requests and requests for specific items as part of the search\nprocess. Changes are being made at the present time to make the process of\nsearching the Library's catalogues easier for staff and users, but the objective\nwill not be met until records for our pre-1978 monograph holdings can be\nconverted and added to the online database.\nII. Additional Short and Medium Range Objectives\nAppropriate long term goals for the Library will become clearer following\nthe Review of the Library, which sould be completed by May, 1988, and the\npublication of the University's Mission Statement. There are, however, a number\nof activities underway at the present time which sould be advanced or completed\nin the coming year:\n1. Space\nContinued efforts will be made to accommodate normal collections growth\nin existing library spaces, and a plan will be developed for seeking and utilizing\nnew temporary storage space. -14-\n2. Collections\nThe probability of further cancellation of journal subscriptions will require\nconsultation with faculty members, close examination of duplicate subscriptions,\nand efforts to secure alternative sources for cancelled titles.\nProcedures must be put in place to identify journal titles which have\nincreased most substantially in cost. Various options should be considered where\ncost increases seem excessive or unjustified in terms of the value of the titles to\nthe University. The involvement of faculty members in this process is essential.\nFunds will be sought outside the University's operating budget to help to\noffset the cost of journal subscriptions that are important to the community.\nSpecial efforts must be made to find the means of improving collections in\nareas of current priority to the University. For the Pacific Rim and Asian\ncollections, where funding has been obtained, the Library will work with faculty\nmembers to determine how the collection should be developed.\n3. Preservation\nActivities directed towards the preservation of the collections will be\ncontinued and a formal programme for the preservation of UBC's library\ncollections will be introduced.\n4. Technology\nThe immediate priority will be to continue with the development of the\nonline public access catalogue. As circumstances permit, other priorities\nidentified in the Library's plan for the application of technology will be\naddressed with the objective of improving services to users and, where possible,\nhelping to control operating costs.\nAccess to the Library's online catalogues will be extended to college and\ninstitute libraries and, if possible, to public libraries in the Greater Vancouver\nLibrary Federation. 15-\nCD-ROM will be introduced as a means of providing user access to health\nscience databases. Consideration will be given to other areas where CD-ROM or\nthe local acquisition of database tapes may be appropriate.\n5. The Library's Profile in the Community\nA newletter will be prepared for distribution to the re-activated Friends of\nthe Library organization.\nArrangements are being made for a Friends of the Library Council to hold\nits first meeting within the next few months.\nPlans for improved access to the Library's collections through the online\ncatalogue development will be publicized.\nIII. Notable Events in the Last Reporting Year:\nThe report of the Faculty\/Library Committee to Review Priorities for\nthe UBC Asian Library was received. Several recommendations have\neither been implemented or are in process: a continuing Faculty\/Library\nAdvisory Committee for the Asian Library has been established;\ncatalogue records for Indie materials were reproduced and filed in the\nAsian Library catalogue; and a listing of Korean books donated to the\nLibrary is being prepared. Through the Funds for Excellence\nProgramme, the Library received an additional $150,000 in continuing\nfunds to improve collections to support Pacific Rim studies and $^5,000\nto recruit staff with the additional language skills required.\nLast spring saw the completion and publication of A Bookman's\nCatalogue, The Norman Colbeck Collection of Nineteenth-Century and\nEdwardian Poetry and Belles Lettres. The contents of this impressive\ntwo volume work, published by the University of British Columbia Press,\nillustrate clearly the remarkable value of the gift that Dr. Colbeck made\nin donating his personal collection to the University in 1967. Its\npublication would not have been possible without the thousand-odd pages -16-\nof handwritten notes by Dr. Colbeck, the determination and guidance of\nDr. William E. Fredeman, and the capable editorial work of Dr.\nTirthankar Bose.\nThe Patent Search Service (PATSCAN), announced in last year's Report,\nhas now been in operation for more than a year. It is funded at the\npresent time through a grant under the Canada-British Columbia\nSubsidiary Agreement on Science and Technology Development. During\nits first full year's operation, almost 500 informational patent searches\nwere carried out, primarily for faculty and graduate students of the\nthree B.C. universities. In addition, prototype work for online retrieval\nof Canadian patent information has continued and a useful database is\nnow available.\nThe annual reception of the Wesbrook Society was held in the Main\nLibrary on June 4, 1987. The setting, enhanced by artistic and\nimaginative planning by staff from the Alumni Association, the\nDevelopment Office, and the Library, made the evening a very pleasant\nand successful occasion.\nIn March, the Library participated actively in UBC's most successful\nOpen House. More than ten thousand Library visitors were given\nopportunities to win a Library card for a year's use, to take away a\nphotocopy of headlines made on the day they were born, to have their old\nbooks assessed by experts, to see online searching demonstrations, a film\nof UBC's history, a Chinese calligrapher at work... The Library's most\nconspicuous contribution was OLIF, the On-Line Information File, which\nmade information about Open House events available online at terminals\nin the libraries and at many campus network terminals.\nEfforts to increase public awareness of the Library's value as a major\nresource for the province of B.C. have continued. The Report of the\nPresident on the Library has proved to be an excellent document for this\npurpose. In addition, the Library contacted many of the outside\norganizations and individuals that use the Library regularly to determine \u25a017-\nhow the Library has been able to help them. Responses to this informal\nsurvey were most informative and helped to emphasize the critical\nimportance of a strong research library to the community. On the\noccasion of the University's Open House, the Friends of the Library\norganization was reinstated after an hiatus of more than fifteen years.\nResponse has been good, though the Library has not yet mounted a\ngeneral campaign for memberships outside the University.\nWith the assistance of a generous donation from Mr. Naomichi\nNishimura, formerly Director of the Hikone Public Library in Japan,\nwork has begun on the microfilming of Tairiku Nippo (The Continental\nDaily News). The UBC Library owns the most complete set of this\nnewspaper, published in Vancouver from 1907 to 1941. Since UBC's copy\nis becoming fragile, this project will ensure that the newspaper is\npreserved and can be shared with others.\nIV. Notable Grants, Gifts and Donations:\nIt is always a pleasure to acknowledge the generosity of those who have\nsupported the Library either with financial contributions or gifts in kind. The\nfollowing items are a few of those received during the reporting year:\n1. Grants\n- In the summer of 1987 we learned that the Social Sciences and\nHumanities Research Council had made a grant to the Library of $50,000\nspread over the following three years, to be used for retrospective\nmaterial in Japanese history and literature.\nThe B.C. Council of Archives made a grant of $12,000 to the Library to\nhelp clear a backlog in the processing of archival materials.\nThe Public Archives of Canada supported an archivist internship\nprogramme in the UBC Archives with a $4,000 grant. -18-\n2. Donations\n- Among our long-time Friends, Mr. Sam Lipson, Dr. Kaye Lamb, and Mr.\nDerek Lukin Johnston must be acknowledged for their regular annual\ngifts. Many alumni remember the Library in their annual givings; this\noccurs as individual donations or as class projects. This year the Library\nwas pleased to receive a collective donation from the class of 1927.\nSeveral donors contributed to the Crane Library. The Variety Club of\nB.C. donated two recording consoles; Wm. Mercer (Canada) Ltd., Mr.\nWm. R. Read and Mr. James W. Phelps all donated funds to Crane for\nequipment or other purposes.\nFirst City Financial Corporation, the Boag Foundation, Dean Blythe\nEagles, Mrs. Violet Eagles, Mr. Po Ting Ip, Ms. Letitia Hay, and Ms.\nBetty Hender made donations to support the collections and the UBC\nArchives.\n3. Gifts in Kind\n- Gifts to the Special Collections Division include the papers of Hubert\nEvans, Grace Maclnnis, E. Herbert Norman, and Henry Howard. Other\ngifts to Special Collections include special books and materials from Ms.\nG.P.V. Akrigg, Mrs. Hilary Brown, Mrs. W.E. Gale, Mr. O. Lauritzen, Ms.\nPatricia Page.\nThe UBC Archives received donations of the Walter Young papers from\nMrs. Young, the Walter Sage papers from Mrs. Sage, the Michael Bullock\npapers from Professor Bullock, the Blythe Eagles papers from Dean and\nMrs. Eagles, and the N.A.M. MacKenzie medal collection from Mrs.\nRoote.\n- Other donors of gifts in kind to the general collections included Dr. Joel\nH. Kaplan, Dr. R. Lakowski, Dr. John E. Nafe, Dr. Philip Pinkus, Mrs.\nSusan Roote, Dr. G.F. Schrack, Dr. M.W. Steinberg, Mrs. Elizabeth\nSteward, Dr. Peter C Swann, Mr. Alexander Wainman, and Ms. Glennis\nZilm. -19-\nStaff\nAs in previous years, the number of Library staff continued to decline,\nchanging from 104.2 professional librarians and 285.29 support staff in 1985\/86\nto 104 professional professional librarians and 275.29 support staff in 1986\/87, a\nreduction of 2.6%. Every position which became vacant was rigorously reviewed\nbefore a request for authorization to refill was sent to the President's Office.\nWherever possible, positions were left vacant, filled through relocation of staff,\nor filled at a more junior level in order to save money.\nRetirements and resignations of both librarians and support staff led to\nincreased turnover during this year. Tung King Ng, Head of the Asian Studies\nLibrary for many years, retired at the end of December 1986. After a lengthy\nsearch process, she was replaced by Linda Joe.\nJoan Selby, Curator of the Colbeck Collection, and also a longtime member\nof the Library's staff, retired during this year and was replaced by Chuck Forbes,\nformerly the Head of the Humanities\/Social Sciences Division. Phyllis Reeve\nresigned as Acquisitions Librarian and Karen Olcen resigned as\nCurriculum\/Audiovisual Catalogue Librarian.\nOther professional changes resulted from leaves of absence, maternity\nleaves, and exchanges. Judith Frye, Head, Marjorie Smith Library, was granted\none-year leave of absence, and was replaced by Pia Christensen,\nHumanities\/Social Sciences Reference Librarian. Kathy Scardellato, Serials\nLibrarian, went on maternity leave. Jane Price, Co-ordinator of Health Sciences\nNetwork Services, was on exchange for six months. Her responsibilities were\ncarried out by John Cole, Reference Librarian, Woodward Library.\nRecruiting commenced in July 1987 for four half-time librarians with\ncompetency in Asian languages, namely Indie languages, Indonesian, Japanese,\nand Korean. These positions were established through special funding in support\nof Pacific Rim studies. None had been filled by the end of the reporting year\nbecause of the difficulty in finding qualified and suitable applicants. -20-\nSupport staff vacancies filled (new appointments, promotions, transfers,\nrecalls, reassignments, temporary promotions, demotions) increased from 44% in\n1985-86 to 55% in 1986-87. For heads and supervisors, already hardpressed to\nmaintain services because of staff cuts and restrictions on replacements, the\nadditional training load represented by this increase created further demands on\ntheir resources.\nLongtime support staff members who retired or resigned included Ingeborg\nSchafer, Library Assistant 4, Catalogue Records; John Nanning, Library\nAssistant 3, Copy Services; Teresa Petrala, Library Assistant 2, Collections; and\nWendy Murphy, Library Assistant 3, Prebindery.\nThe number of work study students funded through the Awards Office for\nLibrary work continued to decline drastically. While 55 positions were\nadvertised by the Library, only 15 were filled. Work study students assisted in\nshelving materials, maintaining the bookstacks in an orderly condition,\nprocessing materials, data entry, and filing. The loss of these student hours has\nresulted in reshelving delays, disorderly shelves, and slower processing of\nmaterials.

The introduction of this practice resulted in lower expenditures in 1984\/85 and\nhigher expenditures in 1985\/86.\n(2) Expenditures from grant and trust funds are not included; in 1986\/87 they amounted to $233,805 for collections.\n(3) Cost recoveries of $237,301 are not reflected in Appendix C.
