Senate Committee on the LibraryReport for 1959.60

To the Members of the University Senate:

Your Committee on the Library submits the following report forthe year ending June 30, 1960. The year was particularly notable forthe growth of collections in specialized fields of study and research,and for a marked increase in student and faculty use of the Library.These and other library activities are discussed in detail below.

GROWTH OF LIBRARY

At the end of the fiscal year, June 30, 1960, the Library held3,053,341 fully cataloged volumes in Urbana, and 234,817 in the two Chicagodivisions, altogether 3,288,158 volumes, or a net increase of 86,393 overthe previous year. The total cost of materials purchased on the threecampuses was approximately $667,000, to which should be added extensivecollections of books, journals, pamphlets, maps, music scores, manuscripts,and other items received by gift and exchange, Following are descriptionsof some of the most noteworthy groups of books and related materials acquiredduring the year.

NOTABLE ACQUISITIONS

The most significant developments in the building of library resourceswere the purchase of the Ewing C, Baskette collection of materials on freedomof expression, the acquisition of the last original set of the Human RelationsArea Files, the beginning of a greatly expanded program of purchasing inthe Slavic area, and assumption by the Library of additional responsibilitiesunder the Farmington Plan for the cooperative acquisition of foreign publi-cations. In addition to these materials, many important purchases weremade in support of already established interests and programs,

Baskette Collection

The Baskette Col lection was a joint purchase of the Library and .theUniversity of Illinois Foundation. The assembling of the thousands of itemswhich make up the collection was a lifetime concern of Ewing C, Baskette,a lawyer and librarian, late resident of Springfield. The general themeof the collection is freedom of expressions included are materials relatingto anarchy, communism, socialism, censorship, constitutional rights, religiousfreedom, freedom of the press, labor union activities, and famous trials.Chronologically, the collection ranges from the seventeenth to the twentiethcenturies, By form, there are included books, pamphlets, periodicals, news-papers, broadsides, and manuscripts. When fully organized, it is anticipated

that the collection will prove useful to various divisions of the University,particularly Journalism and Communications, Library Science, Labor andIndustrial Relations, Law, English, and Political Science.

Human Relations Area Files

Another acquisition of special significance to a number of Universitydivisions is the Human Relations Area Files, purchased with funds providedby the University Research Board. The files grew out of the program of theInstitute of Human Relations at Yale University, founded as a research centerin 1929 to unify the behavioral sciences: psychology, psychiatry, sociology,and anthropology. In 1937, the staff of the Institute began to assemblesystematic files of source materials. Subsequently, in 1959, the SocialScience Research Council, with Carnegie Corporation support, established oninter-university organization, the Human Relations Area Files, Inc., to makethe materials more widely available. Eighteen American universities arenow depositories of the accumulated files and sponsors of the project.

The present flies include materials from approximately 180 differentsocieties and cultures, from both published and unpublished sources. Photo-graphic copies of all the materials are comprised in the files, arrangedby a system of coding which makes them readily accessible under each topiccovered. Foreign language sources are translated, but both foreign textand English translation are in the file. MOch of the material, such asout-of-print and foreign books and journals, is not easily obtainable else-'where. The basic file consists of more than 1,500,000 pages of coded slips;including complete texts of thousands of documents, books, journal articles,unpublished manuscripts, and field reports gathered by university, govern-ment, and private research agencies. The Library is subscribing to supple-mentary materials as issued by the HRAF, and the resources of this majorresearch tool may be expected to grow in depth and importance.

Medieval Studies and Incunabula

Noteworthy additions were made to the holdings of early printed booksand manuscripts, the prime source materials for medieval and Renaissancestudies. Among the manuscripts were a ninth or early tenth-century Anglo-Saxon work containing a hitherto unknown and unpublished poem of the VenerableBede; a fourteenth-century copy of Higden's Polycronicon, recounting worldhistory to the year 1342, a popular work often printed after the inventionof typography; an English charter of 1325; a German astronom:ical calendarof about 1450, including notes on the principal church feasts; and a 1485manuscript of Thomas Aquinas, an author for whom the Library possesses mostof the numerous fifteenth-century printed editions.

The year's acquisitions added twenty-three incunabula, bringing to849 titles the Library's collection of works printed before 1501. Ofspecial medieval interest are the following: Thomas de Cantimpr4's BonumUniversale de Proprietatibus Apum (Cologne, 1478-80?), "On the Life andHabits of the Bee," a collection of anecdotes and tales of great value forthe study of thirteenth-century social conditions; Johannes Nider's

American Literature

The most distinguished collection in American literature acquiredduring the year was a collection of Bret Harte's writings, presented byErnest Ingold, San Francisco alumnus, whose previous benefactions to theLibrary had been principally in the Shakespearean area, The collectionconsists of seventy-seven editions of Harte's works, assembled by thedonor and unusual for the excellent condition of the original bindings,An authority in the field, Professor John Flanagan commented on the col-lectioni "Including as it does both first editions and translations ofHarte's literary work, it emphasizes the artistic achievement of one of thebest American local colorists and at the same time reveals Harte's associ-ations with other literary men of his age,"

Slavic Studies

Establishment of a Department of Russian, of a Russian Language andAreas Studies Center, and other extensive developments in the area of Slavicstudies on the Illinois campus have led to an accelerated acquisition programby the Library, Specialists in Slavic languages and literature have beenadded to the Acquisition and Catalog Departments,

Significant Slavic purchases during the year included a collectionof more than 1,300 volumes, relating to nineteenth and twentieth-centuryRussian literature, history and geography, published in European countriesoutside Russia, Also acquired was a carefully selected collection of 2,100volumes of Russian and other Slavic materials, fil I I1g a number of lacksin the Lihrary's holdings.

History of Science

In the history of science area, the Library's acquisitions were out-standing in astronomy, physics, mathematics, biology, veterinary medicine,geology, and chemistry, The most important single item, perhaps, was a

l-5-

first edition of Sir Francis Bacon's classic work on the philosophy of science,De Augmentis Sclentiarum (London, 1623), an expansion of the author's earlierAdvancement of Learning. By coincidence, the Library also obtained the firstFrench transTation of this work, printed in Paris 'in 1624,

Architecture

The long-time interest of the Department of Architecture in earlyarchitectural books was climaxed during the year by an exhibition of someof the Library's architectural treasures and the publication of a catalog,Printed Books on Architecture, 1485-1805, with a brief history and annotationsby Professor Ernest A- Connally, Several important additions were made tothe Library's outstanding holdings of works of this character: the scarcefirst Spanish translation of the second architectural treatise to appear inprint and the only surviving ancient authority on architecture, De Architectura

Farmington Plan

The Library continued its active participation in the "FarmingtonPlan," a cooperative project sponsored by the Association of Research Li-braries for the acquisition by American libraries of all books of researchvalue published abroad, The year's receipts at Illinois numbered 2,400items, bringing to 23,820 volumes the total received since the FarmingtonPlan was inaugurated in 1948,

Beginning with 1960, the Library added to its previous responsi-bilities under the Plan public finance; Portuguese and German literatureSSpanish literature published outside of Europe; the history of France,Germany, Italy, Russia, Spain, and Portugal; and general bibliography,publishing and printing, Also, as part of a concerted area approach bylibraries In the United States to the acquisition of Latin American publi-cations, the Library has accepted responsibility for obtaining all Brazilianpublications of research value,

Exchanges

As of June 15, 1960, the Library maintained exchange relations with3,179 institutions in the United States and foreign countries, A totalof 144,722 copies of University of Illinois publications, produced by theUniversity Press, the Experiment Stations, and other University divisions,were sent to academies, societies, museums, observatories, universities, andother institutions in exchange for their publications.

The arrangement of new exchanges and expansion of exchange arrange-ments resulted in the acquisition of pub Ications in many fields of interest.Among new titles being received on exchange from various countries are theAustralian Journal of Mathematics from tge University of Sydney; VestniksSeri a Matematiki Mekhaniki I Astronomil, Leningrad University Library;Revista Matem'tica Hispano-Americana from Consejo Superior de InvestigacionesCientificas, Madrid; Transactions of the Leicester Literary and PhilosophicalSociety, England; Fragmenta Floristica et Geobotanica, Instytut Botaniki,Polska Akademia Nauk, Lodz, Poland, Significant titles from Latin Americanun i versities include Revista _dti J. .acu Itad dCi enc irL _ Econm i ca s from theUniversidad Nacional de Cuyo, Mendoza, Argentina; Estudios EconbmicosPolltlas e Socials..

SPREPARATION OF MATERIALS

The technical departments of the Library--the Acquisition, Catalog,and Serials Departments and their divisions, such as Binding and PhotographicReproduction--are responsible for the procurement, organization, and prepa-

ration for use of all types of library materials, A summary of their

activities for the year follbis.

Acqui siti on Department

Much of the work of the Acquisition Department has been reported inpreceding sections under GROWTH OF LIBRARY, Total additions to the Librarypassing through the Department in the course of the year numbered 58,787items, consisting of 41, 16 volumes, 6,887 music scores, 6,709 maps, 3,566photographic reproductions, 14 manuscripts, and 465 sound recordings, Of

the total, 46,537 pieces were acquired by purchase, and 12,250 by gift orexchange,

A division of Acquisitfon, Documents, responsible for procuring alltypes of offi a I documentary pub I cat ions, mainta ined a total of 14,05checking records, incl udi ng 53,375 per i dicals and 10,656 seri a s (yearbooks,etc.). The division also added 2,921 separately published documents to theLibrary's collections, Another activity of the division was to make theLibrary a depository for the publications of various research organizations,adding during the year CERN (European Organization for Nuclear Research),Southeast Asia Treaty Organization, the United Nations Chi Idren's Fund, andthe National Aeronautics and Space Administration.

Another active section was the Photographic Reproduction Division,whose services were in steadi ly growing demand, During the past five yearsthere has been an increase of 108 percent in the number of microfilm ex-posures, 152 percent In the number of prints, and 156 percent in fhe totalnumber of orders processed annually by the division. In 1959-60, in itsvarious operations, the division made 151,220 microfi m exposures, 13,9%4enlargement prints, 141,212 multilith reproductions, and 2,243 reproductionsof other types,

Cat alog Departmnt

New tit es cataloged in 1959-60 numbered 33,619, while analyticalt it les and tit les recataloged or reclassified totaled 435,275, In additionto 84,665 books, there were cataloged 3,127 microfilms, 52I4 microcards, 1,499music scores and parts, 6,614 maps and aerial photographs, and 500 soundrecordings. The General Catalog had 139,566 cards added. Also, 121,862cards were added to the catalogs serving the various departmental librariesand reading rooms, These special locations received 40,2L84 cataloged booksand pamphlets, in addition to many non-book it 4, such as films, maps, andsoLid recordings, In nearly every instance, the above figures representsubstant al increases over the preceding year,

-9-

By agreement, the Catalog Department and the Cataloging Section ofthe Serials Department furnished the Library of Congress with copy for 1,757publications, in accordance with a long-standing .cooperative plan.

Among other important activities of the Catalog Department werechanges in location information in the General Catalog for the Biology andGeology Libraries, both formerly in the Natural History Library; adoptionof new, up-to-date schedules in the sixteenth edition of the Dewey DecimalClassification; reclassification of all Russian and other Slavic literature;cataloging hearings for the Sixtieth through the Sixty-eighth Congresses,involving I,119 titles and 2,125 volumes; maintaining the General Catalog,including the prompt filing of new cards, replacement of soiled cards,the preparation of new guide cards, and the revision and addition of subjectheadings,

Serial s Department

The Serials Department catalogers added 39,280 new items to theLibrary's organized collections. In addition, they cataloged 2,403 serialtitles, prepared entries for 3,269 analytical titles published in numberedseries, and recataloged and reclassified 1,625 serial titles. The Libraryreceived currently 15,058 different periodical titles plus 2,820 duplicatesubscriptions. Included in these figures are periodicals received throughthe Documents Division, Over 600 new periodical titles were added to theLibrary during the year,

Continuation titles (i.e., serials issued less than three times ayear) received totaled 25,370 different titles; including duplicate sub-scriptions, the number ran to 31, 142, an increase of 3,011 over the preced-ing year, In addition, the Library received currently 526 newspapers,including forty-two microfilm editions of general newspapers.

Further progress was made toward completion of a central recordfor all serial pub lications, The Central Serials Record now includes 18,294currently-received titles. As the centralized information file has grown,the Serials Department staff is called on increasingly for reference service.

The Binding Division, which was transferred from the Catalog Depart-ment to the Serials Department at the beginning of the year, processed26,123 books and pamphlets bound commercially, The Ma•rking and RepairSection repaired 4, 144 volumes, bound 3,201 pamphlets, mounted 239 maps,and re-marked 8,602 books and pamphlets in addition to labeling all newly-acquired materials,

USE OF THE LIBRARY

Closely paralleling the expansion in student enrollment in theUniversity, the use of library materials in 1959-60 set an all-time record,The total circulation on all campuses was 1,258,112, substantially above theprevious record of 1, 166,736 set in 1958-59, For Urbana alone, the circu-lation amounted to 8, I07,597, approximately an eight percent increase overthe previous year,

-10-

Since enrollment went up only four percent, it is evident thatlibrary use is running ahead even of the growth of the student body. Thisis a continuation of a trend previously noted, and may reflect an intensi-fication of student application and changes in teaching methods which havetaken place in the past few years. Increased government research and contractsare also in part responsible for intensified use,

A significant aspect of the increase in use is that it occurredprincipally in student general circulation, rather than In reserve bookcirculation, I.e,, required reading, Circulation to the faculty at Urbanarose from 82,941 to 96, 1146. Twenty-five of the Library's thirty-three publicservice units showed a considerable growth in use,

Circulation figures indicate only a portion of the services actuallyperformed by the Library, however, since much use is through direct consul-tation of materials in open-shelf collections and through informational,reference, and research assistance provided in person, by telephone, or bycorrespondence in all public service departments,

Inter Ibrary borrowing and lending also increased, A total of 1,293items were obtained by borrowing, either in the original or by photorepro-duction, This material, chiefly for the use of the faculty and doctoralcandidates, was supplied mainly by a small group of institutions: Libraryof Congress, University of Chicago, Harvard, John Crerar Library, NewberryLibrary, and the University of Michigan, Volumes loaned to other librariestotaled 4,035, going to forty-seven states, the District of Columbia, PuertoRico, and six provinces of Canada, Requests from England, Scotland, Germany,India, and Russia were met by photographic reproductions. Most frequentloans were made to the following universities: Southern lli nois, California,Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Nebraska, Purdue, Western Reserve, and Wisconsin,

Reference Work

The public service departments are constantly providing assistanceof a reference nature, and although few keep statistical records of questionsasked, letters answered, and bibliographies compiled, these services takea large amount of staff time and are often extremely valuable' to those whoreceive them,

The Architecture, Veterinary Medicine, Physical Education, andUndergraduate Libraries, the Rare Book Room, and the Reference Department,for example, continued adding to numerous bibliographies prepared in previousyears. City Planning and Labor and Industrial Relations also preparedseveral bibliographies of value locally, and, through cooperative arrangementswith other libraries in the same fields, distributed them nationally,

Hours of Opening

Scheduled hours of service in the thirty-three units of the publicservice departments varied from thirty-eight hours per week In the RareBook Room to ninety-two hours in the Chemistry Library, In general, the

-II-

hours open remained unchanged from the year before, except for slightexpansions in the Veterinary Medicine and the Map and Geography Libraries'schedules, and the addition of eight hours, to the Newspaper and ArchivesLibrary schedule to provide evening service four nights per week, Shorttrial periods of longer hours in Law, Journalism, and the Modern LanguageLibrary Indicated a need for extending schedules for the first two onSunday and the last on Saturday,

Extension of Services

Orientation tours, lectures, organized courses, exhibitions, dis-plays, new book lists, periodical lists, and guides to use are the principalmedia employed by the public service departments to make the Library and Itsresources better known and more widely used,

The Undergraduate Library and the Reference Department jointly con-ducted 120 instructional tours of the Library, attended by 2,328 students,for students in Rhetoric 102 classes. The number of tours and the numberof students involved were considerably higher than the previous year, manyinstructors came with their groups, and there was noticeably improvedstudent interest,

A number of tours and orientation lectures were arranged also by de-partmental libraries, including Chemistry, Engineering, Geology, Labor andIndustrial Relations, Law, Library Science, Map and Geography, PhysicalEducation, University High, and Veterinary Medicine,

A new Guide to Readers was Issued by the new Physics Library, andrevisions of sTmilar guides were made by the Undergraduate, Education,Physical Education, Map and Geography, Law, Library Science, and AgricultureLibraries, Sixteen departmental libraries published regular lists of newacquisitions for their users, and several of these lists were distributedon a national,or international basis,

As for formal courses, eight sections with substantial enrollmentswere taught during the year of Library Science 195, "Introduction to LibraryUse, a course for undergraduate students. Courses in specialized bibli-ography were offered by the Chemistry Librarian and the Biology Librarian,

The General Library Browsing Room maintained four browsing collectionselsewhere on the campus, in Architecture, Home Economics, Music, and Veter-Inary Medicine; and the Union Browsing Room continued to supply books forrecreational reading to the Physics Library, Ment • Residence Ha Is, and theCivil Engineering Summer Camp at Black Duck, Minnesota, The Union BrowsingRoom also served as a setting for two Informal discussions of books, sponsoredby the Illini Union's Speaking of Books Committee, and for a series of twenty-one poetry readings sponsored by the English Department,

The Main Library's rotating exhibitions were viewed by thousands andwere widely publicized, Among the themes for the year were: Five Centuries

Quarters and Eui pment

Two new libraries were completed and occupied during the year, .TheBiology Library, with a seating capacity of 134, was officially opened onSeptember 8, 1959, and service in the Physics Library, with a seatingcapacity of 96, began on October 18. The Geology Library has taken overmost of the space formerly occupied by Biology in the Natural HistoryBu i Iding. :

Remode ing of the Music Library, except for some relighting, wascompleted, to provide enlarged and improved service fac ilities, Thephysical arrangement of the Newspaper and Archives Library was changed tobring the service area nearer to the entrance and to provide access withouta key, The area was also painted and relighted, Space in the same areawas painted and relighted to' accommodate the newly acquired Human RelationsArea Files, A number of public service divisions--Class ics, Browsing,English, Commerce, Modern Language, Architecture, and Geology--were painted,and new lighting was apnroved for the Commerce and Undergraduate Libraries.

A purchase finance by the University Research Board will facilitateuse of the Library's resources for textual studies, particularly among theear ly-printed volumes, This is the Hinman Col lating Machine, which hasbeen installed in the Rare Book Room. The machine permits a rapid andaccurate colla ion of copies of a given text, Without its aid, the processof comparing texts is an arduous and time-consuming one, though an essentialin the production of a scholarly critical te.xt.. '

MEDICAL LIBRARY

The Library of Medical Sciences added 4,931 volumes during theyear td increase its total holdings to 141,368 volumes, With a substantialbudget increase, more adequate purchasing of current books and periodicalsin all of the medical sciences was possible. New subscriptions to 145periodicals were entered, bringing to some 1,800 the number being received.Of the total, 150 are multiple subscriptions, to meet the demand for themost heavily used titles. Since the transfer of the School of Social Work'sChicago branch to the Professional Colleges campus, the Library has beenacquiring books and journals in 'that f-ield fo support the work bf the School.

Through gifts and the income from endowed funds, the Library acquireda number of rare and unusual books, Noteworthy is a work by the founder ofmodern pathological anatomy, Giovanni Battista Morgagni's The Seats andCauses of Diseases, translated from the Latin by Benjamin Alexander Lcondon,

-13-

1769, 3 vols.), presented by Dr, H. M, Mortimer, Class of 1929. Anotheroutstanding historical title was Avicenna's Princlpis Avic. Libri CanonisNecnon de Medicinis Cordialibus (Venice, 1527), an Arabiccodification of

Graeco-Roman medical theory, used as a standard text throughout the

medieval period.

The recorded use of the Library reached a new peak of 98, 143 items

circulated, an increase of 11,8 percent over the previous year. The expanded

use was particularly noticeable in general circulation (16,. percent increase)and in interlibrary loans (up 29.3 percent), reflecting more graduate studentborrowing, Loans to faculty members rose from 34,799 to 40,504.

An analysis of the Library's circulation, done by Joan Campbell,Acquisitions Librarian, is revealing in the light that it sheds on the useof materials in the Medical Library, By date of publication, 80 percentof the books and periodicals borrowed were published between 1950 and 1960,17 percent from 1930 to 1949, and three percent prior to 1930. By languageof publication, 95 percent of the books and periodicals borrowed were inEnglish, three percent in German, and two percent in other languages.In view of the emphasis in the medical sciences on new discoveries andcurrent research, the attention to recency of publication is not surprising,though perhaps the slight use of materials in languages other than EnglishIs unexpected in a science as universal as medicine,

Numerous groups came to the Library for orientation lectures andtours given by members of the staff. These included students in the Collegeof Pharmacy, College of Nursing, School of Social Work, Occupational Therapy,departmental secretaries, hospital staff nurses, pre-medical students fromGrand Rapids Junior College, visitors from the Second World Conference onMedical Education, and from Alpha Epsi Ion Delta, pre-medical fraternity.College of Nursing students and graduate students in a course entitled"Science Orinetation" were given classroom lectures in the use of indexingand abstracting reference works,

Several activities of a cooperative character were engaged in by theLibrary staff. As a participant In national and international duplicateexchange arrangements, most of the Library's surplus items went to assistin the development of newly established scientific libraries in this countryand needy institutions abroad, For the third edition of the Union List ofSerials in the United States and Canada, to be published in 1962, the Library'sholdings were checked for addTFTons and revisions. The Library is oftencalled upon to aid in training programs for foreign meaical librarians study-ing in the United States, During the year, students from Indonesia and thePhilippines spent periods of time doing practice work and studying under thesupervision of the staff,

CHICAGO UNDER GRADUATE DIVISION LIBRARY

In its acquisition program, the Chicago Undergraduate Division Li-brary cataloged 2,092 volumes, ending The year with total holdings of 93,449

-14l-

volumes, The collection was divided as follows: circulating, 73,094;reference, 8,509; and bound periodicals, 11,846, There were 842 periodicalscurrently received. The collection also included 1,575 microfilm reels,24,838 maps, 204 prints, 938 sound recordings, 3,387 microcards, 9,838microprints, 9,055 pamphlets, and 17,166 government documents.

The Library's total book circulation, 52,372, represented an increasein the circulation of general books and periodicals, but a slight decreasein reserve book use. An electric-eye door count showed an increase of thirteenpercent in the number of people entering the Library, probably an indicationof more open-shelf consultation of material, without recorded use. Thenumber of reference questions asked of the staff also increased somewhat.

The Fine Arts Library listening room continued to be a pronouncedsuccess, Classes used the room for listening to recorded drama, poetry, andmusic, and student clubs scheduled a number of programs utilizing the listen-ing facilities, Another important and popular service is the provision offoreign language tapes in the Main Reading Room, now used extensively byall the foreign language departments, The tapes are recorded by facultymembers; eighty-two tapes are now in use, with twenty more in process ofrecording.

The only significant change in the Library's physical space was theaddition of approximately 00 square feet of the second floor lounge adjoin-ing the Library, The new area was equipped to serve as a combined Docu-ments and Faculty Reading Room.

A detailed report on the varied activities of the Chicago Under-graduate Division Library, its departments and its staff has been reproducedfor wider distribution,

PERSONNEL

At the end of the report year, there were 279 library staff positions,academic and nonacademic, on the three campuses 240 at Urbana, 14 at theProfessional Colleges,. and 25 at the Chicago Undergraduate Division. Ofthe total, 147 are academic and 132 nonacademic appointments. In addition,about 220 student assistants were reguarly employed on a part-time basis.

As has been true since the early nineteen-forties, staff changes werefrequent, and suitable replacements difficult to find. The acute shortageof professional librarians continued, and excellent positions throughout thecountry remained unfilled.

Among additions to the staff at Urbana were several specialists inSlavic literature, appointed to the Acquisition and Catalog Departments:Laurence Miller, trained in the Army language school; Dmytro Shtohryn, aUkranian; and Waclaw Soroka, a Pole, all to assist in the new Russian AreasStudies Program,

Contributions to professional literature by members of the Librarystaff, through books, exhibition catalogs, bibliographies, periodical andnewspaper articles, and book reviews were also numerous. These are recordedin the Graduate College's annual list, Publications of the Facultyl
