A false assessment of library\nresources is as unscholarly as carelessness in any other academic\nfield and is likely to be more damaging. A \"university\" without library facilities to support its full program is an incongruity. Unfortunately, adequacy is not easily defined,\nthe annoying question of library standards is therefore\noften raised. With colleges blossoming into \"universities\"\novernight while universities but slowly reach their true estate,\nboth criteria and judgments are required by which perspective\nbe gained.\nA university is an institution of learning of the highest\ngrade, having various faculties and schools (including the\ngraduate and professional) concerned with all or many of the\nbranches of knowledge; it is permeated by a spirit of inquiry\nand has its place in the world community; by making its students\nresponsive to the findings of research, it changes the world\nin which they live and alters the practice of their chosen professions,... These are indeed no modest claims, and an\nacademic body should profess them with gravity and caution.\nTo achieve its ends, a university leans mainly upon its faculty,\nlibrary, and laboratories.\nThe library of a university is at once its most mutable\nand most durable possession. Created deliberately, its resources define and determine what academic work can be done. Whether for liberal education, for subject specialization\nand training in methods of research, or for mature inquiry\nbased upon a significant body of source material, an\nadequate library must precede academic development. It\ncannot be brought about by reiteration.\nIt is perhaps normal to view our own performance with\na lenient eye\u00E2\u0080\u0094comparing our situation with that of a\nwealthier neighbor and employing the social sciences to\nexplain the difference. With one of the world's highest\nliving standards, we are not greatly moved by the relative\npoverty of our universities. \nd we are apparently content to leave the task of advanced training in many fields\nto foreign institutions. If the result is undeveloped\nresearch centers of our own and a serious loss of promising\nand proven personnel, this penalty we have learned to pay.\nOur economy and culture have their fervid fans, but\n\"Canadians,\" a local scientist recently said, \"do not look\nwith much enthusiasm upon pure research.\"\n\ national canvass of academic library resources,\nshared responsibility for graduate studies in given fields,\nand a determined move to develop research collections on a\nmassive scale may be needed to bring a change of pace in\nthe present decade. \"And we invite anyone to show that we\nare guilty of unrealistic or extravagant planning,\" we\nquote from a recent Government statement. \"Much of\ncapacity ... is needed now,\" it said. \"All of it will be\nneeded within a few months or years,\" but it was speaking\nof roads, not the University. Library Development\nNo single year in the history of a university library is\nlikely to be decisive\u00E2\u0080\u0094every advance made serves to increase\nfuture responsibility. New personnel, policies and motion play their important part, but library growth is\ngradual =>nd subject to interruption. Gains persist if they\nrespond to change and are kept alive by cultivation.\nCollections\nincrements of large and significant proportions were\nmade during the year, confirming the University's intent\nand capacity to pursue research in given fields.\nJust at the beginning of the academic year the Thomas\nMurray collection was received in Vancouver, ten tons of\nsolid support for the program of Canadian Studies. Composed\nof several thousand items which are both very important and\nscarce, and a large stock of books which together constitute a collection of broad scope and usefulness, the collection when fully absorbed will greatly strengthen the\nlibrary in an already well developed area.\nThe P'u-pan Chinese collection reached the University\nLibrary at the end of February 1959. Acquired from Macao\n(from its owner, Mr. Yao Chttn-shih), it contains some\n45,000 items (ts'e) in extraordinarily fine condition. Of\nthese, about 115 are from the Sung and Yttan dynasties (960-\n136$), 3,326 from the Ming (1368-1644), 9,865 from the early\nCh'ing (1644-1820), and the remainder from the Modern period\n(after 1820). Of more than three hundred manuscripts, the\noldest is dated 1426, and some remain unpublished. Said to\nbe one of the five most important collections on the continent, it will, with other expanding resources in Chinese\nand Japanese, bring scholars and distinction to the University, The rate of growth of the Library\u00E2\u0080\u0094measured in\nnumbers of volumes processed and sent to the bookstacks\u00E2\u0080\u0094\nrises gradually, this year's increment being 31,767\nvolumes (compared with 30,258 in 1957/58), of which 10,913\nwere bound periodicals 11,710). The size of the collection\nat the end of the fiscal year was 419,519.\nIn addition to the books and journals formally counted,\nthere were 56,721 items added to the Reference collections\n(43,746 the previous year): government publications, 49,896\n(37,033), pamphlets and university calendars, 5,013 (3,950),\nand maps, 1,818 (2,516). Publications on atomic energy\nfrom the United States, Great Britain, and Australia, and\nthe publications of the Council of Europe were introduced\nthis year on a full depository basis. Although thousands\nof unprocessed items in the Asian Studies and Murray collections yet remain, the backlog of uncataloged current\nmaterial, which has averaged from two to four thousand items\nfor a number of years, was eliminated.\nThere were 227 new journal subscriptions received (227),\nas listed in Appendix B, bringing the total to 4,965 titles.\nThe Library Bindery produced 11,343 volumes (10,392), plus\n919 in storage binding (1,139). The most notable acquisitions\nare reported in Appendix C.\nBook Funds\nDuring 1958/59 the following amounts were expended upon books,\nperiodicals, and binding (with comparable figures for the two\npreceding years): Expenditures Upon Books, Periodicals, and Binding\n1958/59* 1957/58 1956/57\nLibrary $125,366.80 $95,007.57 $87,008.00\nMedicine 31,175.60 33,326.72 29,346.65\nLaw 12,274.13 12,612.47 8,778.11\nEducation 10,541.17 11,972.37 5,038.04\nNon-university 32.896.4$ 37,577.75 15.$80.50\nTotal $212,254.18 $190,496.88 $146,051.30\n* For detailed figures, see Appendix A.\nOf the 195$/59 expenditures, $174,31$.3$ was for books and\nperiodicals, $25,935.$0 for binding. This year's total\nexceeded the previous year's by 11.4$. There was an increase\nof $19,075.96 in the Library's formal budget for books and\nperiodicals (21+%) f plus a special item of~$$,090.96 spent\nin preparation for establishing the College Library. The\nnon-University funds included a grant of $12,000 toward the\npurchase of the Thomas Murray collection.\nExpenditures for all Library purposes were $49.43 per\nstudent ($50.42 and $47.46 the two previous years); and the\nratio of Library to total University costs (omitting capital\nitems, but including research) was 4.3$ (compared with\n4,65 and 4.5). Comparing expenditures for 1958/59 with\nthose of more than a hundred institutions of university rank\non the continent for the previous year, 1957/58 (the latest\navailable, and therefore weighted in our favor), we rank\n40th in total library expenditures (36th last year), 29th\nin funds for books-periodicals-binding (31st), and 65th in\nsize of book collection (65th)\nNotable outside grants were received from Mr. Walter\nC Koerner (for the Murray collection, the Humanities, and\nSlavonic Studies); from Dr. H. R. MacMillan (Forestry and\nHistory); the Leon and Thea Koerner Foundation (Asian\nStudies, Australian and English Literature, Law); the Otto\nKoerner Memorial Fund (Fine Arts); Dr* and Mrs. Thomas\nIngledow (Canadian Studies); the Men's Canadian Club of\nVancouver (Canadians); the Japanese Canadian Citizens\nAssociation (Asian Studies); the Carnegie Corporation (French\nCanada); the B. C, Association of Broadcasters (communications); and other individuals and groups. Without this continuing support, many fields of study would be almost without\nlibrary facilities. Library Use\nThe direct services of loan, reference, =nd instruction\nwere under heavy pressure during the year, responding to\nan increasing number of students and faculty, the cumulative effect of years of instruction in library use,\nmore library-based course assignments. Students poured\ninto the Library, and their expectations sometimes outran\nthe supply of materials and manpower available to satisfy\nthem. Often they had to wait their turn for books in great\ndemand, and they may have hoped the Library staff would do\nall their \"looking up\" for them. The library of a university\nis a laboratory where students must learn to solve their own\nproblems by mastering procedures which will be applicable to\nlater studies.\nWhat a student can do for himself in a library or\nlaboratory should not be done for him by a librarian or\nteacher. Hand-feeding wastes the University's substance\nand limits the student's own means of development. A\ncoordinated program of guidance, involving faculty, librarians, and bookstore (using paperbacks and anthologies for\nspecific assignments and well planned library collections\nfor broad reading and investigation), offers a sounder\nlearning process and more effective use of resources.\nIn response to changing needs, plans for the reorganization of the University Library (in September I960) will\nfoster greater use of the collections. These changes\nin turn require users to make some alterations in their\nhabits to take full advantage of the new facilities. A College Library for 1st and 2d year students will\nbring instruction and library use more closely together,\nA large, open collection of some forty thousand volumes\n(plus transfers from the main Library when this is essential\nand five hundred individual study tables in well laid-out\nreading rooms will vastly improve the learning situation.\nFour other \"main\" reading rooms will concentrate upon\nstudent use in the Sciences. Biological Sciences \u00C2\u00B0nd Medicine, the Humanities, and Social Sciences! Each leading\ninto its own particular section of the bookstacks, and\nstaffed with full-time specialized personnel, they will\noffer immediate access to the current journals, reference\nworks, bibliographies, and subject indexes.\nThe Division of Special Collections will provide a new\nlaboratory for the Humanities Qnd Social Sciences, with\naccess to rare books, manuscripts, and other unusual materials in fields of Library subject specialization. Appropriate facilities for the conservation of these materials,\nand a branch of the B. C. Provincial Archives, will make\nfuller utilization of scholarly resources possible.\nQuarters for the Fine Arts Library will be much enlarged to accomodate undergraduate students in the expanding\nprogram of Fine Arts and Music. A general Loan Division will\ncoordinate the lending of books through all of the Divisions\nand supervise the general collections. The \"inside\" departments of Acquisitions, Cataloging. Serials, and Binding will\nbe more closely allied through building alterations for more\neffective service.\nThe number of books borrowed from the Loan Division\ntotaled 266,451 245,1$7 in 1957/5$ , of which 105,609 were\nfrom the Reserve Book Room (97,663 This was an increase\nof 9$ from the main Loan Desk and of 8$ from the Reserve\nRoom, set against a rise of 10.7$ in student enrollment.\nIn two years the recorded loan of books (overlooking\nthe heavy use of material by thousands of students within\nthe bookstacks) has increased 24,3$, with a 49$ rise in a\nfive year period, (Appendix D for monthly loan statistics. 3\nvo.\n(11:\nreturned by this convenient means\nInterlibrary Loans.

It will be noted that 70% of the material borrowed\ncame from the United States, 25$ from Canada outside British\nColumbia, and 5% from within the Province.

Both personal factors (such as\nintelligence, education, motivation, and experience) and\nthe capability of the Library to make the most of every\nindividual's potential must be taken into account\nSalary may not be the chief motivation of those who\nenter academic life, but its importance in attracting and\nretaining desirable people is recognized both by faculty\nand librarians.\nDuring the past six years the salary floor for beginning librarians has risen by 50$ ($2,800 to $4,200), while\nthat for instructors has advanced 64$, or 28$ more rapidly.\nThe increase for instructor is expected to reach 77$ in\nI960. Whatever the argument for parity of salary floors\nat this academic level, there seems little justification\nfor a smaller proportional increase. Advancing at the faculty\nrate, the beginning salary for Librarian-I would now be\n$4,592.\nIn Canada, salary standards for librarians in university and college libraries have been set by the Canadian\nLibrary Association, this year in relation to faculty\nfloors at the level of the much-copied \"Toronto scale.\"\nNOTE regarding the cover design: the original design is by\nthe 18th Century calligrapher, Ferdinand von Freisleben, and\nit has been adapted here by Robert R. Reid. It first appeared\nin Johann Georg von Schwandner, Dissertatio epistolaris de\ncalligraphiae ... Vienna, 1756, and was recently republished\nin New York, by Dover Publications, as Calligraphy:\ncgligraphia latina (1958). 10\nSalary Standards for University Libraries\nLibrarian Faculty (Toronto Scale)\nRank* Salary\n1 $4,500 - $7,000 Instructor $5,500 -\n2 6,500 - 8,500 Asst. Professor 7,000 -\n3 8,500 - 11,000 Assoc. Professor 9,000 -\n4 11,000 - Professor 12,000 -\n* Rank 1 embraces Librarian I and II at this University,\nRank 2, Librarian III ( 1st Assistant or Specialist).\nRank 3, Librarian IV (Division Head, Assistant Librarian).\nRank 4, Chief Librarian.\nIf a $4,700 beginning salary for Librarians is realized\nat this University in I960, a 68$ increase will have been-\nmade during the period in which the faculty gained by 77$,\nperhaps too modest a request. Because of the size of the\nlibrary operation here, and the nature of the demands made\nupon staff members, there is no library in Canada requiring-''\nmore ability or achievement.\nWe do not overlook the advances made in salary payments\nduring the last fiscal year, for in all categories significant\nincreases were made. Particularly notable were the new scales\ninstituted for the non-professional staff, bringing University\nsalaries up to those paid in the Vancouver area,\nthe completion of the new Library wing we anticipate\nsome changes in conditions which will benefit the Library\nstaff. Physical improvements will increase the ease and\neffectiveness of Library operations, and the new subject\nDivisions will give staff members greater opportunity for\nspecialization and bring them into closer relationship with\nfaculty and students\nsuccess of the new order, however, will depend to\na large extent upon the ability of the University to provide 11\nthe additional staff positions required to man the new\nbuilding.\nReport Upon Turnover of Staff. A summary of the\nyear's statistics concerning staff employment reflects\nsomewhat less stability than in 1957/58, except for an\nincrease in the length of service by the professional\nlibrarians.\n(1) Turnover of Staff\n(Percentage of resignations in relation to size of staff)\n1956/57 1957/58 1958/59\nAll staff 50$ 3$.7$ 50.6$\nLibrarians 15$ 10$ 13$\nLibrary Assistants 106$ 54$ 86.3$\nClerical staff 51$ 57$ 62$\n(2) Average Length of Service (mean)*\n(In months)\n1956/57 1957/58 1958/59\nAll staff 30.3 32.6 35\nLibrarians 43,3 44.7 59.4\nOther 23.6 26.4 22.8\n* Not counting four long-time professional staff, with\nservice records of from 21 to 33 years, whose total length\nof service exceeds that of the other 23 professional members,\nand who are normally omitted from this tabulation to avoid\ndistortion.\nThe average length of service of the professional staff\nwas at the end of the academic year 4 years and 11 months\n(compared with 3 years, 9 months last year), the median being\n3 years and 1 month (2 years, 1 month). There were at the\nend of August, however, 8 vacant positions: 3 Librarians, 4\nLibrary Assistants, and 1 clerical staff. (For a list of\nLibrary staff and of persons who resigned during the year,\nsee Appendix E.)\nResignations cause a continuing drain of accrued experience and put an additional load upon'those'who--remain, 12\nabsorbing energies which could otherwise be put directly\nto productive use. Much of it is unavoidable, but every\nmeans of encouragement must be used to bolster the caliber\nand effectiveness of staff.\nThe Library Building\nThe move to add a south wing to the Library building has\nadvanced through a long history of prospect and planning\ninto actual production, and many of the problems and proposals with which this report is concerned are tied up with\nits completion. The total building will not be large enough\nwhen it is completed, but it will seat a thousand more\npeople, give them greater opportunity for independent study,\nand serve them better as the library of a university.\nActual construction of the addition began in July 1959,\nand completion is scheduled for August I960. Four floors of\nnew reading rooms, eight of bookstacks, a stack \"well\" for\nlater completion, another entrance hall into the old wing,\nand many changes to adapt the existing building to its new\nuses are to be completed within the coming year. Grateful\nrecognition is given to Mr. Walter C, Koerner, whose gift\nmade this addition immediately possible.\nThe Friends of the Library\nFriends of the University Library, with their own individual\ninterests normally to the fore, are brought into the Library's\norbit because of some strong but secondary relationship with 13\nbooks. By joining an organization they are predisposed\ntoward interest in its work, but they are nevertheless\neasily brought into actual participation. The chief\nproblem of the organization of Friends is therefore that\nof active engagement.\nIn the three years since its formation (in September\n1956), two outstanding research collections and other\nimportant materials have been acquired in the name of the\nFriends, Without this support these great additions could\nnot have been made, but the work and cost have been borne\nby too few individuals. Additional \"friends of learning\"\nmust be found to extend this base of assistance if the\nUniversity is to reach the position in Canada it is even\nnow expected to maintain.\nMembership in the Friends is open to all who have\nbookish interests and pay the annual fee of \"five dollars\nupward\" (deductible from income tax). Occasional\nmeetings and publications, and appointments to working\ncommittees, offer opportunity for direct participation\nFor a list of the Council of Friends, see Appendix G.)\nThe Senate Library Committee\nThe Senate Library Committee occupies a key position among\nUniversity bodies. Provided for in the University Act, it\nrepresents all of the Faculties and is responsible through\nthe Librarian for library service to the University, Its\nconcern is long-range and University-wide, not forgetting\nthe present. 14\nThe Committee met three times during the year, under\nthe chairmanship of Dr. Ian McT. Cowan, to discuss the\nLibrarian's annual report and to forward recommendations\nconcerning it to the Senate; to review the Library building\nplan; to hear reports upon the proposed College Library and\nsubject Divisions; to study the proposal submitted to it by\nthe Senate concerning the establishment of a School of\nLibrarianship at the University; to discuss a statement from\nthe Faculty Council regarding noise in the Library; to consider\nthe proposed inclusion of Biomedical Library facilities in\nplans for the new Faculty of Medicine buildings; to spend the\nCommittee Fund upon research materials; to allocate book funds\nto Departments; and to deliberate upon many other matters\naffecting the Library's program.\nThe School of Librarianship\nA professional School of Librarianship, to prepare a selected\ngroup of university graduates for service in public, university,\nschool, and special libraries, has been under active consideration at the University for a number of years. Based upon a\nsound undergraduate program of general or specialized studies,\nit would offer work toward the degrees of B. L. S. (Bachelor\nof Librarianship) and M. L. S. and provide courses for\nteacher-librarians in the College of Education. Progress\nhas been made toward these ends in 1957/58.\nThe proposal, referred by Senate to the Library Committee,\nwas returned with a favorable recommendation, suggesting that\nit be presented to the Faculties concerned for consideration.\nThe Faculty of Arts subsequently gave its approval in principle,\nprescribing that the curriculum be presented to the Faculty, after\nwhich the School would be administered as are others in the\nUniversity. In September 1959 the recommendation was again to\ngo to the Senate and the Board of Governors.\nIf the School should be authorized during the fiscal year\n1960/61, first steps towards its establishment would be taken\nin the fall of I960, with its formal opening in September I96I. 15\nRecommendations\nLibrary development must pursue a well plotted course or\nit will soon describe an orbit which is not related to\ncampus needs. An annual report should recommend, therefore, as well as review.\n(I) The University of British Columbia Library, with\nlimited resources see column 1, table below) to support\nthe growing program of instruction and research, should\ndevelop its collections more rapidly through an increased\nappropriation for the purchase of journals and books.\nAdding $100,000 a year to the total book fund would\nprovide for the same growth rate as the universities of\nWashington (Seattle), Southern Illinois, and Duke. We\nshould still lag considerably behind such institutions as\nKansas, Florida, Missouri, Ohio State, and Wisconsin, and\nfar behind Indiana, Texas, Cornell, and UCLA.\nThe following table, arranged in ascending order of\ntotal book stock, shows comparable expenditures upon the\ncollections (col. 3) and annual growth in numbers of\nvolumes (col. 2). These libraries, all of good repute\n(but not including the very greatest), show the pattern\nwe must surely follow.\nQuantity\u00E2\u0080\u0094of students, dollars, staff, and books\u00E2\u0080\u0094\nis a concept we cannot overlook. One quantity often\nrequires another to match or offset it, and goals are\ntherefore often expressed in numerical terms: 16\nComparable Statistics (1957/58) for a Group of\nUniversity Libraries\n TIT\t\nUniversity\nBritish Columbia\nSo.

Grants may be\near-marked for special subject areas or be given uncommitted, for use as needs require or opportunities to acquire\nmaterials occur.\nPublications in most of the sciences are becoming\nextraordinarily expensive, particularly if older materials\nand back files are concerned. In the life sciences, for\nexample, reports of scientific expeditions and the major\ntaxonomic works involve the expenditure of many thousands\nof dollars; and in the pure and applied sciences expensive\nnew revisions of basic works and long journal files are\nalways sought. Advanced work in the humanities and social 17\nsciences is still virtually impossible in many fields without\nthe purchase of scores of cpstly sets and thousands of basic\nstudies and texts.\nSeveral subject fields have already been \"brought in\"\nby this means, to undergraduate or graduate level, notably:\nSlavonic Studies, Asian Studies, Canadian Studies (including\nFrench Canada), Forestry, Fisheries, Fine Arts, English and\nFrench languages and literature,\n(III) Great advantages in time can often be gained\nby acquiring collections in toto which have been laboriously\nbrought together by other people. It is recommended that\nthis practice, followed this year in securing the Murray\nand P'u-pan collections, be actively continued.\nMembers of the faculty and Friends of the Library\nshould be alert to locate and obtain by gift or purchase\nresearch collections in fields of University interest.\n(IV) A greater concern for Library development on the\npart of the Faculty Association, academic departments,\nindividual faculty members, and campus groups would markedly\naccelerate the growth of the Library, and this interest should\nbe strongly encouraged.\nMany persons tend to regard the resources of this Library\nas static in relation to their own research and see travel to\nother institutions as the single means of pursuing their\nserious work. Recent developments (in Slavonic, Asian, and\nCanadian Studies, for example) show this is not necessarily\nthe case. Whole-hearted participation in library development\nis also sometimes held bapk by self-centered Departmental\nprograms. In meetings of the Faculty Association in recent\nyears the Library has hardly been mentioned, and the current\nbrief dealing with major University problems uses the word\n\"Library\" only in the context of \"travelto,\" in relation to\nproposed study leave. 13\nIt is recommended that a study of the resources of\nuniversity libraries in Canada be made, looking toward the\ndevelopment of facilities for graduate studies on a national\nscale and the production of an adequate number of university\nteachers and research staff to meet the nation's need.\nThe National Council of Canadian Universities and\nColleges has authorized the establishment of a committee to\ndiscuss such a proposed study. The Committee on Scientific\nInformation of the National Research Council has also demonstrated an active concern over the holdings of scientific journals\nin regional research centers. The interest of this University\n(expressed, perhaps, through these organizations, the Canadian\nAssociation of University Teachers, and other national scientific and professional associations) would create a greater\nsense of urgency for this basic task.\nWith the establishment of the College Library in\nthe fall of I960, providing a separate collection of books\nchosen for students in their first two years, it is recommended that instruction in 100 and 200 courses be planned\nwith the full use of these facilities in mind.\nThe association of faculty, Library, and Bookstore in\nan effort to meet fully and speedily the needs of several\nthousand beginning students seems imperative. The use of\npaperbacks (in packets for specific courses) and anthologies\nfor required reading assignments as far as possible, and\nwell planned library collections for broad reading, essay\nwriting, and individual studies will give students greater\nfreedom and opportunity to take part in their own education.\n(VII) \"Divisional\" reading rooms for the Humanities,\nSocial Sciences, Sciences, and the existing Biomedical and\nFine Arts libraries will offer improved access to library 19\nmaterials in these areas; and a Division of Special Collections will form a center for graduate research in\nhumanistic and social studies. The potential for library\nuse by more advanced students which will arise from these\nchanges should be carefully studied.\n(VIII) Since the University cannot thrive unless the\nbest procurable staff are responsible for library development, the same favorable attention must be given to the\nsalaries of librarians as to any other University group.\nWe cannot realize one day our ambition to have a\nmajor university library if we choose to \"fudge along\" (to\nuse a Shavian phrase) with the remuneration of professional\nlibrarians. 20\nReport Upon Library Divisions\nThe year's work of the Library Divisions is the sum of\nLibrary services to the University, Its nature, variety,\nquality, and amount can be only suggested in this brief\nreport.\nReference Division\nInformation lies buried in an enormous variety of sources,\nand reference librarians specialize in procedures for sorting it out. By the use of method, related knowledge, and\nimagination, they bring together from this and other libraries\nmaterial bearing upon specific problems.\nThe Division acquired during the year 56,721 items with\nwhich to supplement the main book collection, of which 49,896\nwere publications of governments and official bodies, 5,013\nwere pamphlets and university calendars, and 1,818 were maps\n(29$ above last year's 43.746 documents, 3,950 pamphlets and\ncalendars, and 2,516 maps). Publications relating to atomic\nenergy from the U, S., Great Britain, and Australia were for\nthe first time received on a depository basis, and after some\nyears of inquiry a similar arrangement was concluded for the\npublished material of the Council of Europe. Selected\npublications from Fiji and India began to be received,\nobtained with the assistance of traveling faculty. Briefs\nwere secured from several B. C. Royal Commissions.\nOf 29.247 questions answered (25,783 in 1957/58', $,651\nwere by telephone (7,727), half from off-campus sources.\nThirteen bibliographies were compiled for course use, and\nseveral others were brought up to date. Forty-four displays\nwere mounted in Library cases. 21\nA total of 156 lectures were given by the staff, mainly\ninstructing Freshmen in Library use, but including talks to\nclasses in architecture, planning, music, economics, agriculture,\neducation, and engineering. Following last summer's experiments,\ncolored slides depicting library materials and services were\nsubstituted for a series of class assignments, with considerable\nsuccess. The rapid increase in the number of sections of 1st\nyear English from year to year (from 4$ to 65 to $0) may bring\nan end to this long-time program of instruction because of\ninsufficient staff to carry it on.\nInterlibrary loans, under the supervision of Miss Marion\nSearle during the year, totaled 2,070 items lent (1,532) and\n571 borrowed (648), a 35$ increase in loans and a 13.4$ reduction in materials borrowed for local use. (See Appendix D.)\nThe annual Publications of Faculty and Staff was prepared,\nthis year's edition containing 524 distinct entries (50 pages),\ncompared with last year's 434 (and 40 pages).\nThe Fine Arts Room, headed by Miss Melva Dwyer, added a\nfull-time Library Assistant to the staff, thereby permitting\nan extension of service hours from 49 1/2 to 54 1/2 a week.\nLoans jumped to 14,247 (from 12,977) and summer use w=s very\nheavy; in*1955/56 the total was 5,866. The Howay-Reid collection of Canadiana, under Miss Betty Vogel, assisted by Mrs.\nBarbara McAlpine, served an increasing number of users: faculty,\nmaster's and doctoral candidates, writers, and other students.\nMany additions to the collection were made, and the processing\nof pamphlets, photographs.\u00E2\u0080\u00A2 and manuscripts continued. In the\nMap Room, Mrs. Anne Brearley, assisted by Miss Gillian Flew,\nadded 1,815 maps from many parts of the world and guided\nstudents in their use.\nThe heavy day-to-day pressure of duties leaves little\ntime for planning and development, at a time when consideration\nand thought are perhaps most needed. Fortunately, Miss Anne\nM, Smith, Assistant Librarian and Head of the Division, was\nenabled by a Canada Council grant to spend three months visiting libraries in the United States, chiefly studying the\nproblems likely to be faced by the proposed subject Divisions.\nMiss Joan 0'Rourke ably served as Acting Head in her absence,\nwith loyal staff support. 22\nAcquisitions Divisions\nHow to acquire the right books, secure and pay for them\nquickly, in sufficient numbers, and without unwanted duplication and within the funds provided, is the difficult\nassignment of this department.\nExpenditures for books and periodicals this year totaled\n$186,318*3$, an increase of 11.5$ over last year's amount\n($167,003.94). Of this, $12,000 was in partial payment for\nthe Murray collection, a single transaction. (For more detailed information, see Appendix A and page 5 of this report.\nThere were 15,493 orders placed (compared with 17,360 in\n1957/5$); the reduction from last year's total was caused in\npart by the exhaustion of the main book fund before the end of the\nfisc\u00C2\u00B0l year and by a special block purchase of College Library\nmaterial; 2,197 orders were placed from used-book catalogs.\nThe Division handled 25,233 volumes, of which 21,213 were\nforwarded to Cataloging, the remainder receiving special\ntreatment.\nGifts totaled 3,914 volumes (2,991), and the number\nhandled in the Division came to $,909 (3,114). Under Mr,\nStephen Johnson the backlog of accumulated gifts has been\nvirtually eliminated, and the program of circulating duplicate lists to libraries throughout the world has brought\ngood results both in books sent and acquired. Relations\nwith the British National Book Centre have been particularly\nprofitable. Official exchanges of new publications with Japan\nand mainland China were inaugurated.\nWith procedures being continually under study, a new\nrequisition form was designed, better adapted to the control\nof bibliographic checking by non-professional staff.\nThe Division manages, on the side, the Library Delivery\nService for faculty, and 12,471 pieces were sent out (11,397)\nand a similar number received. With new buildings rising, the\n40 established delivery points may tend to increase, which may 23\nrequire more delivery time and a considerably increased cost.\nThe shipping of books for in-service courses to various parts\nof the Province for the College of Education also fell to this\nDivision during the year.\nThe Division is now faced with the enormous task of\nacquiring most of the 40,000 volumes required for the College\nLibrary before the opening of the new wing in the fall of I960,\nIt must also begin to process the Thomas Murray and P'u-pan\ncollections and adjust itself to a normally increased budget\nfor the coming year.\nOf a total of 13 staff members, there were 6 resignations\nwithin the year and an exchange of one member with another\nDivision. Miss Eleanor Mercer, with Miss Priscilla Scott as\nchief assistant until July 1, 1959, afterwards Mr. George\nTurner, and other staff, carried through in a very creditable\nway the ever increasing acquisitions program.\nLoan Division\nLoan Division is the student's most direct means of contact with the world of books. Viewed from behind the public\ndesk, the responsibility of the staff is both for loan and\nreturn in order that the book stock may be constantly avail-\nfor redistribution\nOver 266,000 loans were made at the Loan and Reserve\ndesks during the year:\n1-year 2-year\n195S/59 Increase 1957/5$ Increase 1956/57\nLoan Desk 160,'$22 9$ 147,522 29$ 124,407\nReserve Room 105.609 3$ 97.668 17$ 90.023\nTotal 266,431 8$ 245,190 25.4$ 200,063 24\nComparing the biennial increase of 25$ in the number of loans\nwith the accompanying 29$ growth of the student body shows what\nthe problem will be to keep abreast of University expansion.\nLarger classes clamoring for the same list of books, more\nstudents in the bookstacks misplacing volumes on the shelves,\n$nd absenteeism among a growing body of part-time student\nassistants increase the problems of operation,\nA greater emphasis upon the training of student assistants\nand the definition of responsibility for them and the full-time\nstaff have paid off well, although turnover of staff in both\ncategories is a serious handicap. It has been necessary to\nsubstitute repeated shelf-reading in much used areas of the\nbook collection for the annual inventory, and most of the\nbookstacks have been kept in good working order. (A partial\ncheck showed 734 volumes missing at the end of August.) A\nshift of all books on two stack levels was necessary to accommodate new books received.\nThe purchase of duplicate copies of a group of volumes\nin the Reserve Book collection (some for the College Library)\nhas permitted many titles to be returned to the general book-\nstacks. A study of materials placed on reserve indicates (1)\nthat many are not in sufficient demand to warrant this restricted treatment (and they have been removed), and (2) a\nwider range of titles for certain courses would make the\nassignments more productive.\nA system was devised to provide a stock of books for\nevening students, and larger numbers of books must be placed\nin this \"due at 5:00 p.m.\" category if students and courses\nincrease. Collections in some Departmental reading rooms must\nbe placed under more responsible control if these depositories\nare to be continued. And a scheme for collecting fines when\noverdue books are returned (charging an excise for later payment) may help reduce the heavy cost of billing; 3,228 bills\nwere sent during the year.\nMiss Mabel Lanning, with the help of Mr. Inglis Bell,\nFirst Assistant, and the staff, have come through a very busy\nyear with a more efficient organization and a new record of\naccomplishment, Mr. Leonard Williams, Stack Attendant, has\nmanaged the bookstack well, and most of the staff have served\nwith essential friendliness and requisite courage at the\nbookstack entry. 25\nSerials Division\nThe backbone of a university library is its periodical files,\nwithout which it could not stand alone as a research collection.\nNew titles and back volumes must be continually added to provide\nadequate strength for academic growth\nThe total number of periodical titles received is 4,965\n(4,750 in 1957/58), with 227 new subscriptions placed during\nthe year (227). Of these, 3,662 are received by paid subscription, 1,194 by gift, and 109 by exchange. The new titles\n(see list, Appendix B) range over a wide subject area, but they\ninclude only the most pressing wants expressed by members of\nfaculty. Volumes of journals added totaled 10,913 (11,710),\nA list of the most notable back files acquired is found as\nAppendix C-l\nLoans of unbound issues totaled 10,411, compared with\n12,532 last year. This was the second year in which current\nnumbers have been open to all those have stack access (3d\nand 4th year students and upward). This has brought an unknown amount of unrecorded use in the bookstacks, but the loss\nof journal issues is heavy and expensive, creating a serious\nhandicap in binding and uninterrupted use.\nThe receipt of journals in several scientific fields was\nreviewed during the year while helping to prepare a basic list\nof journals for a committee of the National Research Council,\nOur holdings of these fundamental journals is fairly complete,\nbut we do not rate so well for the less common titles and for\nthose published in languages other than English, French, and\nGerman, There are serious gaps in our list of Russian publications, both in the original language and in English translation.\nWith quantity, the problems of binding increase. While\nmost library material must sometime be bound, it is difficult\nto take it out of circulation long enough to put it through\nthe binding process. Journals, reference works, theses,\n\"rebinds\", and paperbacks all present their particular problems\nof timing, and these are as serious as those of handling and 26\ncost. In seven years the Bindery's output has increased nearly\n300$ (from 3,008 volumes to 11,099 in full binding), but backlogs of current material are developing, and large numbers of\nbooks need to be rebound. Increased binding facilities may\nsoon be required.\nMr, Roland Lanning has made a unique contribution in\ndeveloping the University's journal collections \u00C2\u00B0nd has\naccumulated invaluable experience in the doing. He is\nably assisted in the administration of the Division by Mr.\nBasil Stuart-Stubbs, First Assistant, and has the cooperative\nsupport of his staff.\nUniversity Library Bindery. During the fiscal year\n11,099 volumes in full binding were processed (10,392) and\n919 in storage covers (1,139). With a fully experienced\nBindery staff, two new pieces of basic equipment, and continuing improvements in operational methods, the output has\nagain increased. An expansion of work space at the end of\nthe report year reduces for a time one of the severe limitations upon the amount of material which can be handled.\nSimplified methods for processing paperbacks are being studied,\nand forthcoming alterations in the Library building will\neliminate the long haul now required between the Bindery and\nPreparation units.\nGreat credit is given to Mr. Percy Fryer who heads an\never more efficient and productive binding department, and to\nMr, Percy Fryer, Jr., whose ability and imagination have on\nseveral occasions effected important improvements and stayed\nserious interruptions. Two journeywomen binders and an\napprentice are the other components of this important Library-\ndivision,\nCataloging Division\nCatalogers assemble the components of the book collection\ninto a functioning library so that it can be put to work by\nan unpredictable variety of users. 27\nIn 1958/59 the Division cataloged and classified\n24.625 volumes of books (22,659) and'11,787 of serials\n(12,231), a total production of 36,412 (35,374). The\nbacklog of unprocessed materials, which has in the past\nheld as many as 5,000 volumes, and during this year\nreached 2,500, has been reduced to zero.\nAs the result of much planning and experimentation\nduring the last two years, great progress has been made in\noverhauling and simplifying procedures. By this means, not\nonly has the backlog of uncataloged materials been eliminated,\nbut no accumulation of books awaiting the ordering of\nLibrary of Congress cards has been allowed to form, the\npiling up of materials awaiting the production of catalog\ncards has been kept to a minimum, and the Slavic backlog\nhas disappeared. Books in the School of Architecture reading room h=>ve been processed and entered in the Library's\nmain catalog, a beginning has been made on materials in\nChemical Engineering, and hundreds of musical scores have\nbeen recataloged. A careful division of labor, with\nspecific assignments for individuals and groups of staff\nmembers, has been carried out.\nBacklogs are possible at many stages in the cataloging\nprocess, and they can be held in check only by careful organization, eternal vigilance, and the conscientious services\nof experienced staff. With materials pouring in by single\nvolumes and by thousands, an adequate organization is of\nprime importance at this point. The Thomas Murray and\nP'u-pan collections are of course yet largely untouched.\nAlert and vigorous leadership has been given by Mrs.\nTurner in bringing about the changes and accomplishments\nherein noted. The senior professional staff, Mr. G. G,\nTurner (who transferred to Acquisitions in July), Miss\nGeraldine Dobbin, and Mrs. Margaret Little, with other professional and non-professional staff, have given their full\nsupport. Two of the non-professional staff received well\nearned promotions. 28\nBiomedical Library\nThe Biological Sciences and Medicine comprise the major\narea of knowledge over which the services of the Biomedical Library will extend. Concerned chiefly with\ndeveloping library facilities for the Faculty of\nMedcine since its origin in 1950, it now operates through\ntwo outlets: on the campus and, at the Vancouver General\nHospital, through the Biomedical Library Branch.\nFollowing the general campus pattern, there was no\nlet-up of use during the recent summer period, and statistics show a heavy increase throughout the entire year.\nWithout a full complement of staff during the holiday\nperiod, and with resignations causing an added drain, it\nwas impossible to keep schedules up to date.\nRecorded use of materials at the Branch (where it can\nbe readily gauged) was 14,954 (compared with 10,776 last\nyear), and there were 2,8\u00C2\u00A75 loans during the three summer\nmonths of May, June, July (1,900 in 1957/58). The increase\nprobably derived from changing teaching methods for the\nlower years, expanding research programs, and a growing\ninterest in post-graduate education. Interlibrary loans\nnumbered 375 items lent (261) and 74 borrowed (79). Tabulated use of journals, by date of publication (totaling\n8,153 volumes borrowed at the Branch, chiefly clinical in\nnature), shows that 28$ of use was of material published in\nthe current year (25$), 64$ of volumes were dated 1948-1958\n(68$), 5.5$ were issued from 1938 to 194$ (5$), and 2$ were\nfor all previous years (2$). There was a great upswing in\nthe number of reference questions asked, 4,997 (1,981).\nBibliographical lectures numbered 5 (1 in 1st year Medicine,\n2 in Nursing, 1 in Pharmacology, 1 in Physiology).\nAdditions to the collection in the field of Medicine\ntotaled 2,773 (3,050), bringing this section up to 35,715\n(32,942). Thirty new journal titles were added and one\ncancelled. Titles in the Medical field total 1,292, with\nanother 580 relevant titles in the Biological Sciences. 29\nTwelve lists of acquisitions were issued (8 , totaling\n61 pages (32).\nBoth the Biomedical Librarian and University Librarian\ncontinued to work with a committee of the College of\nPhysicians and Surgeons toward the establishment of a\nProvincial Medical Library Service, supported by the\nCollege and available to all of its members. It was\ncoming close to realization at the end of the academic year.\nTwo special committees provide guidance and support\nfor the Biomedical Library, one representing the Faculty\nof Medicine (Dr, Sydney Friedman, chairman, Dr. William\nGibson, and Dr. J. W, whitelaw), and one a President's\nCommittee on the Biomedical Branch Library, representing\nthe organizations which contribute to the support of the\nBranch (Dr, Whitelaw, chairman). As part of the University Library, the Biomedical Library also comes under the\nSenate Library Committee.\nMiss Doreen Fraser, Biomedical Librarian, continues\nto work closely with all local medical library groups, and\ntakes an active part in the Pacific northwest, Canadian,\nand American organizations. Her staff of librarians, Miss\nMaria Laddy and Miss Helen Allan, and the non-professional\nmembers have given an excellent account of themselves under\ndifficult conditions.\nThe Extension Library\nFor twenty-two years the University Library and the Department of Extension have provided an extension library service\nto persons in the province without \"adequate\" local facilities. During that time the Extension Library has kept\na continuing supply of books in the hands of many avid\nreaders and provided materials needed for Extension and\ncorrespondence courses. 30\nAfter many years in temporary quarters, the Extension\nLibrary has at last moved into space specifically designed\nfor its use. Close to the general book collection, to the\nprocessing departments, and to shipping facilities, with\nample shelving and work areas, and with a door opening upon\ncampus traffic lanes, service should be more pleasant to\ngive and more effective.\nDuring the year there was an increase from 465 to 502\ngeneral borrowers and from 142 to 152 in the drama group.\nGeneral loans totaled 13,954 (13,555), pl*ys. 5,62l\"(5,678),\nand books for correspondence courses, 1,703 (1,364). In\nthe last category, the most active were English 200 ($41\nvolumes). Education 520 (404), English 429 (146), and\nHistory 304 (100), There were 2,390 volumes borrowed for\nthe Extension Library service from the main University\nLibra ry.\n\"Your books have kept me from becoming completely\n'bushed,'\" wrote a borrower from an interior ranch. \"The\navailability of your service has never meant so much to\nme as it has since living in Coal Harbour ,.. a very small\nplace, in the winter only about 50 people ...\" From the\nwest coast of Vancouver Island: \"I think the Library is\nwonderful, especially to an old and rather lonely woman.\"\n\"I regret that because of failing eye sight I must withdraw from your family of readers. I would like to take\nthis opportunity to thank you for unfailing kindness ...\nover so long a period,\" And: \"The Government have begun\nsending me cheques for fifty-five dollars, so I am celebrating by enclosing five dollars .,. towards a new book\nfor the library which means so much to me,\"\nMiss Edith Stewart, Extension Librarian since 194$,\nis very widely and warmly regarded by an important if not\nalways influential group of British Columbia citizens.\nShe and her assistant form one of the firmest links the\nUniversity has with the province it serves. 31\nThe Curriculum Laboratory\nThe Curriculum Laboratory is not a library in the normal\nsense but a collection of prescribed and supplementary\ntext books and related material, maintained for the\nbenefit of student teachers enrolled in the College of\nEducation. Opened in the fall of 1956, at the time of\nthe establishment of the College, it has existed in\ncrowded temporary quarters and last year served an\nenrollment of 1,445 students.\nLoans during the year totaled 34,567 (31,495 the\nprevious year) from a collection of 8,774 volumes; 1,521\nitems were added during the period. Losses have been\nheavy, 534 volumes not having been returned (574 in\n1957/58). A picture collection of 13,000 classified and\nmounted items has been built up, with some 5,000 additional\npictures being mounted but unlabeled; most of the work of\npreparation has been done during the year just completed.\nAlthough students crowd into the laboratory throughout the year, most of the loans are made just prior to\nthe \"practicum\" periods, so that peak loads characterize\nthe service given, when thousands of volumes are borrowed or\nreturned within a few days time, Mrs. Anneke Bertsch\nmanaged the service with strength and imagination throughout the year, with one full-time assistant and part-time\nstudent aids. It has not been possible to fill the position\nof professional librarian which has been available for two\nyears. Mr. Walter Lanning, of the College of Education,\nhas worked as liaison between the College and Library with\ninterest and understanding. 32\nIn Acknowledgment\nForty-four years provide the background for this annual\nsurvey, and in that eventful period many persons and\nevents have made the Library what it is. The range of\nacknowledgments is therefore both wide and long.\nHeading the list for this year just passed is Dr.\nSamuel Rothstein (whose manifold accomplishments unfortunately go unmentioned elsewhere in this report) and Miss\nAnne Smith, followed by the Division Heads and members\nof staff named in the attached list. President MacKenzie,\nthe Finance Committee, the Board of Governors, and the\ndepartments of administration have never failed in their\nsupport when needed. The Senate Library Committee and\nmany individual faculty members have given time and\nthought to developing the collections and service.\nThrough the Friends of the Library great gains have\nbeen made, particularly because of the interest of Mr.\nWalter C. Koerner, Chairman of the Committee on Ways and\nMeans. To Dr. Wallace Wilson, past-President, Mr. Kenneth\nCaple, President of the Friends, and to other Council\nmembers warm appreciation is expressed. The special contributions of many individuals and groups have been acknowledged elsewhere in this report.\nThe Senate is the University's highest academic\nauthority and the guardian of its standards, and it must,\ntherefore, be the Library's foremost advocate and defender.\nThis support has never yet failed,\nNeal Harlow\nUniversity Librarian APPENDIX A\n(1) Expenditures,for Books, Periodicals, and Binding\n(Fiscal years, April through March)\nBooks and Periodicals\n1957/5$\n1958/59\nBinding\n1957/58 1958/59\nTotals\nBooks-Periodicals-Binding\n1957/58\n1958/59\nLibrary Budget $78,810.88\nCollege Library\nFaculty of Medicine 28,134.72\nFaculty of Law 11,136.47\nFaculty of Education 11,972.37\nNon-University Funds 36,949.50\n#97,886.84\n8,090.96\n25,595.10\n11,307.33\n10,541.17\n32,896.48\n116,824.94 $19,389.00 $95,635.82\n5,192.00\n1,476.00\n5,580.50\n966.30\n33,326.72\n12,612.47\n11,972.37\n36,949.50\n$117,275.84\n8,090.96\n31,175.60\n12,274.13\n10,541.17\n32,896.48\nTotals\n$167,003.94 $186,318.38 $23,492.94 $25,935.80\n(2) Volumes added to Collections\n190,496.88 $212,254.18\nBooks\nSerials\n1957/58 1958/59\n18,548 20,854\n11,710 10,913\nTotal volumes 30,258 31,767\nSize of\nLibrary\n387,752 419,519 APPENDIX B\nNew Periodical Titles Received\nAcademia Republicii Populare Romine.
