r '.PARY. OF T1V

OCT 2>To the I:embers of the University Senate:

Your Connittee on the Library submits the followin, report for the yearended June 30, 1952. During this period, significant additions were made to theLibrary s rare book collection and other resources for research through purchases,gifts, and exchanges; the Library participated actively in the inauguration of theMidwost Inter-Library Center, in the further development of the Farmington Plan, andin other cooperative enterprises; a new departmental library to serve the College ofVeterinary Medicine was opened, and the Natural History Survey Library moved intonew quarters; progress was made in the mechanization of certain library routinesy andthe Library continued efforts to improve its reference, bibliographical and researchservices. These and other Library activities are reviewed in more detail below.

GROWTp TF THE LIBRARY

At the end of the fiscal year, June 30, 1952, the Library held 24155,334volumes in Urbana and 154,944 volumes in the two Chicago divisions, altogether2,570,279 volumes, or a net increase of 93,324 volumes over the previous year.The total cost of material purchased was $340,540, to which should be added exten-sive collections of books, journals, pamphlets, maps, and other items obtained bygift and exchange. Acquisitions for the period included a number of notable giftsreceived through the University of Illinois Foundation; extensive additions to theLibrary's holdings in Victorian literature; further growth of the collection ofearly printed books, 15th to 17th centuries; rare and important works in music and

msicology, geology and geography, and other fields.

University of Illinois Foundation

Gifts received through the University of Illinois Foundation alone would havemade the year outstanding. These included the Horner Lincoln library, the Sherburnlibrary of 18th century English literature, additions to the Ingold Shakespearecollection, a 1494 Columbus Letter, a Hans Christian Andersen collection, and a 17thcentury oil painting of John Milton. Descriptions follow:

Horner Lincoln Library v

In NTovember, Dr. and Mrs. Harlan Hoyt Hornmer of Albany, New York, presented to

the Library, through the Foundation, their extensive Abraham Lincoln collection, as

a memorial to the Class of 1901. The Horner collection of Lincolniana was one of

the largest in private hands. Numbering about 4,500 books, pamphlets, and periodi-

cals, the collection compriees virtually every significant printed work relating to

the Great Emancipater, his contemporaries and his times. While intended primarilyas a working library for the scholar, rather than an accumulation of rare books,hundreds of exceedingly scarce and valuable volumes are included. Further, tosupplement the printed materials, there are numerous photographs, engravings, manu-scripts, and articles relating to Lincoln. An unusual feature of the collection isits wide scope. In keeping with the plan of a working library, all materials likelyto be needed by a Lincoln scholar have been brought together, e.g., biographies ofLincoln's cabinet members and other leaders of the period, histories of the CivilWar era, and related works. The comprehensive nature of the collection gives itunique value for anyone engaged in Lincoln research.

O N10 D~q R"QlqI/s -.2-

The appropriateness of establishing an Abraham Lincoln Library at the Universityof Illinc&s is obviouse Long a center for scholarly research on Lincoln and his era,the University will undoubtedly continue because of its location in "Lincoln Country"and for other reasons to maintain an active interest in study, research, and writingon Lincoln subjects. It is expected that the Horner collection will be steadilydeveloped in future, and will take its place among the countryts leading Lincolnlibraries.

Sherburn Library

A relatively undeveloped period in English literature in the University of Illi-nois Library was greatly enriched by the Foundationts gift of the George Sherburtcollection. Assembled by Professor George Sherburn of Harvard University during thepast 35 years, the collection comprises approximately 3,000 volumes, and is filledwith rare, if not unique, copies of works having primary value to research scholars.Among noteworthy sections are 265 titles by or relating to Alexander Pope, 110 titlesby or relating to Sir Richard Steele, a less extensive but equally valuable collectionof works by and about Henry Fielding, and good runs of scarce 18th century periodicals.In building his collection, it was Professor Sherburnts underlying purpose to bringtogether not only the writings by and about prominent 18th century English authors,but also the works of authors to which these writers had access during their creativeperiodso The collection as a whole, obtained at a very reasonable price through theefforts of Professor Robert W. Rogers, may be regarded as in part a gift of ProfessorSherburn to the University.

Ingold Shakespeare Collection

Another notable addition to the Library's Shakespeare collection, the 1619quarto edition of The Merchant of Venice, was received as a gift from Ernest Ingold,Class of 1909, of San Francisco. Mr. Ingold, who presented the rare volume throughthe Foundation, was the donor to the Library in 1950 of the four Shakespeare Folios,1623-16f5, and other important Shakespeare works. The quarto edition of The Merchantof Venice represents the first attempt at collecting Shakespeare's plays. In theyear 61l9, three years after the dramatist's death, nine small quartos, each con-taining a single play, were printed by William Jaggard in Ldodon. With the acquisi-tion of Mr. Ingold's latest donation, the Illinois Library now possesses eight ofthe nine quartos issued in 1619. Because of their extreme rarity, these volumesseldom appear in the book trade, and to assemble a complete set is a difficultundertaking,

Also received by the Library from Mr. Ingold were 37 titles of modern Shakes-peareana, to fill in the Library's strong collection of critical studies. The groupincludes such diverse items as a Japanese edition of The Tempeost an authortspresentation copy of the Outline of the Life of Shakespeare, by J. 0. Halliwell-Phillipp, a publisher's presentation copy of Sonnets of Shakespeare's Ghost, Retzsch'sGallery to Shakespeares Dramatic Works (Leipzig, 1860), with text in German andEnglish, and the Shakespeare Rare Print Collection, containing 146 plates depictingscenes from the plays and famous actors.

0 Columbus Letter^ l el~ 1*

One of the most celebrated books in American history, the "Columbus Letter"the great explorer's own account of his first voyage to the New World, came to theLibrary as a gift from the Foundation. News of the discovery of the Western con-tinents was given to Europe through the printed Columbus Letter issued in Spain andother European countries shortly after Columbus' return home. The Illinois copy is

one of an edition produced by a Swiss printer, Johann nergnann de 01pe, at Basle, in1494. The Basle printer included with the Columbus work another contemporary narrartive, by Cnrolus Verardus, on the capture of Grenado by Ferdinand. Illinois thusacquires what has been called "Americanuim Number One."

Ians Christian Andersen Collection

Through the interest of Dean Henning Larsen, the Foundation acquired and pre-sented to the Library a distinctive collection of works of PFns Christian Andersen,in the original Danish and in English translation. The assemblage of 73 volumes,the result of several yearst concentrated search in Scandinavia and Great Britain,is of value to students of Scandinavian literature and folklore, and the originaleditions are collectors' items.

Milton Portrait

An accession of more than ordinary interest to the Libraryts unexcelled Miltoncollection was an oil portrait of the poet. The artist is unknown, but the portraitis believed to date from early lSth century. The portrait, found in an Englishcountry home, was bought and presented to the Library by the Illinois Foundation.

Literary Manuscripts

A manuscript fund established by the Graduate College Research Board for thepurchase of manuscripts for the use of iSlividual scholars on the University facultyhas brought several important collections to the Library during the past two years.In the period covered by the present report, the major acquisition was the archives

of the English publishing firm of Richard Bentley, Since Bentley was a leading

publisher of 19th century English fiction, the collection of more than 15,000 items

(consisting chiefly of correspondence and the firmts business records, but including

some author t s manuscripts) contains much of value for students of 19th century

English and American literature. The prize piece thus far disobvered among the

Bentley papers is the manuscript of Washington Irv 4 .ng'e The Alhambra.

Victorian Literature

In addition to the Bentley papers, many 19th century titles in English litera-

ture were obtained to strengthen the Library's growing collection in this field.During a buying trip through the British Isles in July and August, 1951, ProfessorGordon Ray selected about 5,100 volumes for purchase by the Library. Also, throughoutthe year, systematic acquisitions were made from other sources. Especially signifi-cant were collections obtained for Anthony Trollope, Violet Paget, Charles Marriett,Mayne Reid, and William Edward Norris. In addition, a 102-volume set of Bentley'sFavourite Novels was obtained. A high proportion of these materials were first

editions in original bindings.

Early Printed Books

Despite the lack of special funds for the purpose, considerable progress was

made in developing the Library's early imprint holdings. Noteworthy were: (a) five

incunabula, l472-1499, including an editio princeps of Euclid? (b) five famous

English Bibles, ranging from the "Great Bible" of 1539, earlier than any previouslypossessed by the Library, to Bruce Rogers' "Lectern Bible" of 1935, issued in an

edition of 200 copies; (c) early education and school books, 1553-1660, adding

editions of Roger Ascham, Comenius, Anthony Huish, and Robert Whittington, to theLibrary's distinguished collection; (d) two atlases, by Pieter Goos (Amsterdam,1667), and Christopher Saxton (London, 1574-79), also adding strength to an extra-ordinary collection; (e) a group of 17th century English plays, by Barnaby Barnes,James Shirley, and other dramatists.

Music

In anticipation of the School of Music's plan to offer a doctorate in musicology,the Library has for a period of years been strengthening its holdings of basic andsource materials needed to support such a curriculum. Last year a first edition ofJohann Sebastian Bach's Clavir Ubung (Leipzig, 1731), one of three works publishedduring the composerts lifetime, was an item of exceptional importance acquired.Other outstanding titles were Karl Philipp Emanual Bach's Versuch iber die WahreArt das Clavier zu Spielen (1759-62), Abraham Z. Idelsohn' tfebraisch-0rientalischerMelodienschat z (%191% 32)• Jean Philippe Rameau's Traite de l'armQ nie Eeduite` ses-, . ..- e

mhones in Score (iI68-t9), the latter including the first editions of Beethoven'sfirst and thirdsymphonies.

Oeology and Geography

The Library continued its program, initiated on a considerable scale a few yearsago, to build up files of important serial publications in the fields of geographyand geology. Complete or substantial runs of the following titles were obtained:Journal des Mines (Paris); Echo des Alpes (Geneva); Katalog Literatury NaukoweJPolskieJ (Krakow); Bulletin of the Societe Geologique de France: Bulletin, Memoiresand Proces-verbau f the Societe Belgede Geoloie, de Paleentologie et dBydrologiOsterreichische Moorzeitschrift;. ~>elologisches Jahrbuch of the SpellologischesInstitut (Vienna): Palaentologia Hungarica; Palaeontologia Indica; Chrgake(Tokyo); and Chirigakee Hyoron (Tokyo).

Other Noteworthy Additions to Library

The list of other collections and individual works purchased in the past yearmust necessarily be brief, but the following have been selected for mention becauseof their special importance and interest: (a) a collection of 109 works of theDanish philosopher and theologian, S ren Kierkegaard, including 25 Danish first andrare editions and 20 English first editions; (b) additional "lad" items, by variousauthors, so called after the source of their inspiration, Pope's Dunciad, bringingthe Library' a holdings to over 200 titles, probably the most complete collection ofits kind in the world; (c) a collection of Varroniana acquired for the ClassicsLibrary; (d) three of the notable bibliographies of Ienry Spencer Ashbee: IndexLibzrorum Prohibitorum (l877), Centura Librorum Absconditorum (1879), and CatenaIlbrorTaumc cendor (Iu 8 ); an5 d a •first edition of the famous Diderot Enoyclopedie:ou Dictionnaire Raisonne des Sciences des Artes et des Metiers, with supplements,

Gifts

Throughout its history, numerous gifts, large and small, have played anexceedingly important part in raising the Library to its present rank among thecountry ts scholarly libraries. In addition to collections mentioned previously, theLibrary benefited substantially from gifts of books and other materials presentedby numerous individuals and organizations. Among donations of tnusual significance

were the following: from George R. Carr, Class of 1901, 129 Lincoln pamphlets andpictures, 762 railway broadsides, pamphlets and reports, and 363 miscellaneous itemsrelating to Chicago and the Civil War, added to a similar gift of a year ago: fromthe estate of Professor George A. Miller, about 600 books and pamphlets, and 305periodicals, chiefly mathematical; from Charles H. Shamel, Class of 1890, 819papphlets, 471 periodicals, 369 maps, and 250 reprints; from the estate of ProfessorE. H. Waldo, over a thousand volumes, dealing principally with electrical engineering;from A. F. Satterthwait, Entomologist, U. S. Bureau of Entomology (retired), about100 books and pamphlets and over 8,000 periodicals, predominantly agricultural andQuaker publications; from Henry I. Green, Urbana attorney, 300 law books; from C.A* Stonehill, English rare book dealer, a 1607 edition of De Mysteriis Aegyptiora ,by Jamblichus of Chalcis, bearing on its title page an early imitation ofShakespeare's signature. A more detailed list of donors is appended to the presentreport.

Bxchanges

The Library continued to receive European documents and dissertations of pre-war years from its exchanges, e.g., 369 doctoral dissertations from Marburg Univer-sity, for 1937-39, and 96 dissertations from the University of Halle, for the sameperiod. Exchange relations with China were, of course, entirely cut off, and littleis coming from Russia, though a number of new serial titles and separate publicationswere received from the Akademiia Xauk, in Leningrad. Exchange publications inhcreasing numbers came from Japanese libraries, societies, universities, and otherinstitutions and organizations.

As usual, active exchanges were carried on with duplicate materials- 1,522serial duplicates were sent to 30 libraries and 895 separate items to 61 libraries.A total of 6,610 duplicate items were sent to war-devastated libraries in Japan andthe Philippines, and to other foreign libraries trying to build up their collections*From the Library of Congress, 6,959 maps, and from the Army Air Force, 356 aeronauti-cal charts were received on exchange*

Periodicals

The Periodical Division of the Library is receiving currently 17,163 titles.Although prices of domestic periodicals did not increase to a great degree in thepst year, there were some increases and a tendency to discontinue the distributionof free copies, making it necessary to pay subscriptions to maintain unbroken files.Due to increased costs of paper and postage, a marked increase in magazine ratesis expected next year. Foreign subscription rates increased noticeably, in somecases double or triple, over the previous year. The increases were not limited toparticular countries or types of publications.

USE OF THE LIBRARY

The possibilities for effective library service in the University of Illinois

are great, and many are realized daily. An organization which places more than onemillion volumes in the hands of readers during an academic year contributes richlyto the University's educational program, even though realistically we have torecognize that the Library does not play an active role in the development of everystudent on the campus. The challenge of working with readers in a library is to

achieve a larger measure of the potential usefulness of the available resources.

A number of steps were taken during the past year to extend library service tomore users. For the first time, books in the Illini Union Browsing Room were circu-lated for home use, and the Architecture Library, which had limited undergraduateloans to overnight, increased the period of circulation to one week, subject torenewal. Hours of opening were increased wherever possible, in the Education,Music, and Classics Libraries, and schedules for the various units were made moreuniform. The Physics Library was staffed for the first time with a professionallibrarian, and one new unit, the Veterinary Medicine Library, was opened* Thelatter library, in the College of Veterinary Medicinets new building, is a modelof its kind from the point of view of arrangement, lighting, and ventilation; thenucleus of the collection which has been formed in recent years, about 4,300 volumes,is now on the shelves.

Circulationim M ft -m- -N! -- -1·0f;vEvaluations of library service often are based on circulation statistics, and

a tabulation of such figures is given in an appendix to this report. Many librarieson the campus witnessed more intensive use of their collections by graduate studentsand faculty members, and others report increases in the use of slides, photographs,and other non-book materials which are not included in ordinary circulation figures.

Abuses

Probably the most distressing aspect of work with the public in a library isthe abuse of materials, a problem that has been particularly acute in the post-waryears. In spite of all reasonable precautions, short of posting guards in readingrooms and at exits, numerous books are stolen or mutilated. Few, if any, divisionsof the Library escaped. To bring about reforms, the Library has worked with theStudent Discipline Committee, the Security Office, and student organizations., Onlyprolonged educational efforts to effect a change of attitude among students islikely to improve conditions.

Fines

At the request of the Business Office, the Library took over at the beginningof the year the collecting of fines for overdue and lost books. After some experi-mentation, an efficient and economical plan has been devised whereby all ordinaryfines are paid at the Circulation Desk of the main library, and records cleared atthat point.

Orientat ion

The Library endeavors to inform large numbers of the resources available andof the conditions under which they can be used. The Undergraduate Library and theReference Department cooperated in arranging tours for more than 1,600 students infreshmen rhetoric classes. The Undergraduate Librarian spoke to 16 classes inspeech, and the Architecture Librarian scheduled orientation tours for new studentsin the College of Fine Arts. Guides for the use of the Commerce, History, andEducation Libraries were prepared or revised during the year. A major project underway for several years, the preparation of a library handbook for graduate studentsand faculty members, was completed, and is expected to be ready for distribution bythe fall of 1952.

Reference Service

Reference service, furnishing information on a specific subject, is one of theLibraryt s most important activities. Questions answered in the Reference Departmentduring the past year emphasized current events, controversial topics, legislation,statistics on varied subjects, information about organizations and business firms,criticisms of books, and biographies of contemporaries. More than 10,000 questionswere answered at the Information Desk, a division of the Reference Department, nearthe Public Catalog. Among the department's other services were borrowing over 1,000volumes, through inter-library loans, of research materials not available on thiscampus, for the use of graduate students and faculty.

New Accessions

One of the responsibilities of a large library is to inform prospective usersof the available materials. Many of the departmental libraries regularly issuelists of new accessions. Three libraries--Agriculture, Chemistry, and LibrarySchool--compiled or revised lists of serials received in their respective fields.Notices of books believed to be of interest to individuals on the campus are oftensent by departmental librarians, and some divisions display new books before theyare added to the general collections. A comprehensive survey of the Library t sresources, in progress intermittently for several years, has been revived and iscontinuing.

PREPARATION OF MATERIALS

The technical departments of the Library, i.e., Acquisition, Catalog, Binding,and Photographic Reproduction, are responsible for the procurement, organization,and preparation for use of all types of library materials. A summary of theiractivities for the year follows.

Acquisition Department

Some of the work of the Acquisition Department has been reviewed above underGROWTH OF T'E LIBRARY. All materials added to the Library by purchase, exchange, orgift are received through this department. Through these various means 109,428 items(exclusive of periodical issues) were added to the library resources of the Urbanacampus in 1951-52. Of the total, 48,520 items were purchased, 54.595 were obtainedthrough gifts, and 6,313 by exchange. By categories, there were 100,163 volumes andpamphlets, and 9,265 music scores, maps, manuscripts, photographic reproductions,prints, broadsides, and sound recordings.

Bindimi Department

Except for newspapers and University theses, all commercial binding for theUrbana campus was done by the Monastery Hill Bindery--Ernst Hertzberg and Sons, andfor the two Chicago libraries by the Burgmeier Book Bindery, both in Chicago. Thetotal number of volumes bound for Urbana was 23,731, at an average cost of $2.63 pervolume.

In addition to materials sent to commercial binderies, the Binding DepartmenttsPamphlet Binding and Book Repair Section processed 11,383 items, including page-mending and repair of bindings, rebinding of books too small to be bound commercially,pamphlet binding, construction of boxes for old and rare books and music scores,lettering books and pamphlets, treating books for mold and fungus growths, mountingplates and maps.

-g4.

The number of new titles cataloged in 1951.-52 was 31,293, as compared to 29,240the previous year, an increase of seven per cent. The number of volumes catalogedin the same period was 106,718, as compare& to 90,125L or an increase of over eightper cent. New cards added to the general catalog totaled 94,592, a five per centincrease over last year.

The increase in catalog production may be attributed to such factors asincreased use of clerical help in routine cataloging procedures, a change in theroutine of transferring books from one location to another, a simplification of thesystem for indicating location of copies, discontinuance of cataloging of copiesof books bought for offices and laboratories, and closer coordination between theCatalog and Acquisition Departments*

Photographic Reproduction Laboratory

The microfilm work of the Photographic Reproduction Laboratory in 1951-52showed a substantial increase over any previous year. ITegative microfilm exposuresnumbered 132,000, contrasted with about 93,000 in 1950-51. In addition, 5,380enlargement prints were made, and the laboratory staff was responsible for biblle-graphic and clerical operations in making photostat copies of library materials.

Throughout the year, the Laboratory was engaged in filming files of Illinoisnewspapers when not occupied with other work. One project, filming the ChQmziggDaily Gazette, involving a total of 83,670 exposures, was completed, and filmingof the Champa gn Daily News and the Chmpaign County News is within a few monthsof completion.

Photo-Clerical Project

In cooperation with 11 other American libraries, the Library is experimentingwith the application of photographic processes to clerical routines. The CarnegieCorporation has provided for this purpose a newly developed copying camera andautomatic processor, designed to replace manual copying with photographic methods.

Since February, when the equipment was received, such applications as thefollowing have been made: making photographic copies of order cards to accompanynew books to the Catalog Department; making photographic copies of author cardsfrom the Undergraduate Library catalog, representing books not duplicated elsewherein the Library; making copies of cards relating to labor and industry for theInstitute of Labor and Industrial Relations; preparing inquiries to be sent toagents concerning unfilled book orders; preparing lists of out-of-print books tobe advertised in appropriate journals; copying of catalog cards for the Rare BookRoom; preparing overdue notices to be sent to students; and reproduction of recordsof faculty charges for the Circulation Department's semi-annual inventory.

The Library's experience with the "photo-clerk" thus far justifies the con-clusion that it will make possible substantial savings in a number of the Library'sclerical operations, at the same time increasing efficiency and improving services.

MEDICAL LIBRARY

The Library of Medical Sciences, continuing the steady development of itscollection of books, periodicals, and pamphlets, added about 3,482 volumes tobring its total holdings to approximately 110,000 volumes and pamphlets. In pur-chasing material, two-thirds of the budget is ordinarily allotted for periodical

subscriptions and binding, but increased subscription rates are requiring an increas-ingly disproportionate expenditure for these categories. Three-fourths of thebudget for library additions had to be used for periodicals with consequent curtail-ment of funds for current book titles.

Gifts, exchange of material with other libraries, and purchases from specialfunds account for the addition of important titles each year. The Municipal Tuber-culosis Sanitarium's Board of Directors presented 95 volumes of standard works inmedical bibliography. From the estate of Professor George B. Hassin came 85 titlesof interest in neurology. A contribution of $1,200 to the William Allen Pusey Fundwas used to acquire dermatological works. Books dealing with gastroenterology werepurchased with income from the Singer Memorial Fund; and a number of early titles,important for medical history, came through the Hertzler Fund. Using the IllinoisMonographs in the Medical Sciences, exchanges were arranged for the publications ofd3 other institutions and libraries, American and foreign.

The Library's clientele has been gradually increasing until now there are about3,000 regular patrons, including 1,600 students in the Chicago Professional Colleges,nearly 1,000 faculty members (including 800 medical clinical faculty), over 100interns and residents in the University's hospitals, and many individuals associatedwith other medical institutions in the vicinity. With the completion of buildingprojects now in process in the Medical Center, the Library's facilities will be taxedto the utmost.

A few changes in service were effected during the year. Due to increased demand,the hours of opening in the summer months were lengthened, and the Library kept openthree evenings each week. Reserve books were loaned for longer periods over weekendsA visible index of reserve books was compiled, providing students with a useful guideto current textbook material. Also, the Library was able to continue offering 24-hour page service to faculty members. Most students were introduced to the Librarytsfacilities by a series of small group tours, in which they were given informationabout bibliographical tools, locations of collections, and library procedures.

The location of a major portion of the Library's book collection in basementstacks makes it subject to many hazards, e.g., faulty plumbing, dirt, fire, floods,and escaped laboratory animals, all of which have done damage in recent years. OnFebruary 10 occurred the most disastrous flood that has yet struck the basement,caused by an overflowing laboratory sink on the second floor. Salvage operationsfor library materials required nearly five weeks of staff time, as several sectionsof periodicals were damaged, requiring extensive drying processes, rebinding ofvolumes, and replacement of discarded publications. The situation is anotherreminder of the fact that the Library's book stacks and shelves are crowded to thepoint of overflowing, and no really satisfactory solution is possible until thelong-projected library building is constructed.

CHICAGO TDEBGRADtfATE DIVISION LIBRAST

At the beginning of the year the Chicago Undergraduate Division Library initi-ated a new program of library instruction and counseling. The Reference Departmentwas abolished and was replaced by a Department of Library Instruction and Advisement.In cooperation with the Student Counseling Bureau and other Navy Pier departments,the division brought modern student personnel philosophy and methods to bear onlibrary activities and opportunities. On the basis of the year's experience, it wasapparent that general education objectives were furthered, reference service revital-ized, the effectiveness of library instruction increased, and the Library becamemore closely identified with the Undergraduate Division's total educational program.

The steady rise in the Library's circulation statistics continued. From1951-52, the figures were 18 per cent over the previous year, and 46.3 per centabove 194g8 49 . The largest percentage of increase was in books loaned for homeuse--a wholesome trend. There was substantial growth in book collection, also,with 8,576 volumes added, to bring total holdings to 55,690 volumes.

The chief physical improvement of the year was the installation of 135 sectionsof additional stack shelving (784 shelves). This enlargement permitted completerearrangement of the book collection and eliminated the crowded book storage condi-tions which were such a serious handicap previously. Within the space now provided,there is room for two years' normal growth of the book collection, up to about 70,000volumes. Unfortunately, the gain had to be made at the sacrifice of some 64 seatsfor readers, leaving 746 seats in the Main Reading Room and Reserve Book Stationcombined*

MIDWEST INTERBLIBRAPY E3TER

Since the formal dedication of the Midwest Inter-Library Center building onOctober 5, 1951, the Center tls truck has made many trips to Urbana to transfer toChicago certain little-used library materials. The principal categories transferredthus far include: American foreign language newspapers (4,838 volumes), foreignnewspapers (3,573 volumes), college catalogs (31 boxes), foreign dissertations (10boxes), state documents (54 boxes), textbooks (213 boxes), and insurance companyreports (100 lineal feet). With the exception bf newspapers, these materials wereamong the uncataloged collections of the Library*

Additional groups planned for transfer in the near future are: Chicago smokeabatement records, foreign dissertations, college catalogs, hpuse organs (sales andemployee), telephone directories (except current), U. S. Central Intelligence Agencymimeographed publications, and War Labor Board records.

From the Library of Medical Sciences in Chicago, five principal types ofmaterial have been transferred or are in process of being sent to MILO: medicaltextbooks, foreign medical dissertations, hospital reports, public health documents,and medical periodicals and serials,

One of the Center t s aims is to bring together files of serial publications ofwhich member libraries own only fragmentary sets. The University of Illinois Libraryhas cooperated with the program, but has usually transferred only duplicate volumes.

To facilitate rapid communication between the Center and its member libraries,teletype installations are being made. The installation at Illinois was made inearly October, and has proved useful not only for communicating with the Center, butwith numerous other teletype stations throughout the country.

PERSOTSh~

Major changes on the Library staff were numerous. At t he beginning of theyear, Leslie W. Dunlap replaced Arthur M. McAnally as Associate Director for PublicService Departments; Marian Harman replaced Margaret Oldfather as Catalog Librarian,and Rebecca Briggs became Assistant Catalog Librarian: Mary Lois Bull succeededJosie B. Houchens as Assistant University Librarian for Personnel, and was replacedas Library Administrative Assistant by Robert L. Talmadge; Allen J. Sprow succeededAlice M. Martin as Education, Philosophy, and Psychology Librarian. At the end ofthe year, after 43 yearst service as Reference Librarian, Alice S. Johnson retired,and is to be followed by Edward Ratcliffe, Undergraduate Librarian, who in turn willbe succeeded by William Vernon Jackson.

The staff turnover during the year was lower than for the preceding year.Replacements have been increasingly hard to find, and in order to give departmentsadequate assistance several full-time positions have been changed temporarily topart-time positions. This solution has not been satisfactory, since it means moresupervision, more desk space, and budgetary complications.

In part as a contribution to the Library School program, the Library maintainsa number of half-time professional assistantships to give promising young graduatestudents in library science an opportunity to obtain experience in a large researchlibrary and also financial assistance. Some of the countryts leading librarians atpresent are former holders of these assistantships in the University of IllinoisLibrary.

Another group of students are employed on wages. The Library has one of thelargest student payrolls on the campus. Over 200 students are regularly employed,working from 10 to 20 hours weekly, chiefly in public service divisions of theLibrary. From such groups in the past, the Library School has frequently recruitedsome of its best students.

The nonacademic staff of the Library has 89 positions, and since July 1, 1951,there have been 65 resignations and 75 new appointments, As many as three or fourindividuals have filled the same position during the year. This situation willdoubtless continue as long as student wives are the chief source of supply fornonacademic personnel. In connection with the new state-wide civil service system,specifications and examination questions for the four grades of library clerk wererevised, in consultations between the state college librarians and civil serviceofficials.

PUBLIC RELATIONS

Three regular programs carried on by the Library had as their objectives creatinginterest in books, reading, and libraries, and informing the public of the Library'sresources. These were the weekly "Library Presents" radio program over Universitystation WILL, the semi-monthly "Library Hour," and a series of exhibitions.

"The Library Presents" program, now scheduled weekly throughout the year, forhalf-hour periods each Wednesday morning, drew upon various members of the Univer-sity faculty, Library and Library School staffs as speakers. More continuity wasprovided than in previous years through having series of talks, usually running atleast a month, relating to the same general subject area. Each topic chosen had adirect connection with books and libraries. Public response to most programs wasgood.

The twice-monthly "Library Hour" programs began in November and ran throughM~y. Except for Paul Landist annual reading of Dickens? Christmas Carol, all meet-ings were held in the Library on Wednesday afternoons. Speakers were drawn fromthe University faculty for the most part, and again the emphasis was on bookishsubjects. The total attendance for 11 meetings was over 1,300.

A rotating series of exhibitions in the first-floor corridors of the Librarypresented materials on such diverse topics as the University of Illinois, Americanfolklore, European pottery and porcelain, the codex, the ancient Maya, U. S. A.houses, 1607-1946, Festival of Contemporary Arts, Leonardo da Vinci, and theAmerican Institute of Graphic Arts t 50 Best Books of the Year.

There are appended to this report several tables showing the allocation ofbook funds, the size, growth, and the recorded use of the library.
