SReport for 1950-51

to the Members of t he University Senate:

Your Committee on the Library submits the following report for the year endedhune 30, 1951. Worthy of particular note for this period were additions to the

Librarys rare book collection and other resources for research, through purchases,gifts, and exchangest improvements in reference, bibliographical, and researchservices of e Library; amelioration of a few of the Libraryes physical plantproblemsa and participation in cooperative enterprises with other institutions.These and other Library activities are reviewed in more detail below.

GROWTH OF TME LIBRARY

At the end of the fiscal year, June 30, 1951, the Library held 2,330,872volumes in Urbana and 146,082 volumes in the two Chicago divisions, altogether2,476,954 volumes, or a net increase of 93,451 volumes over the previous year.The total c oat of material purchased was $384,400 to which should be added exten-.sive tollections of books, journals, pamphlets, maps, and other items obtained bygift and exchange. Acquisitions for the period were both substantial and important.Special attention should be called to the following collectionst

Shakespeare

Some of the rarest of literary and bibliographical treasures came to the Univer-sity Library through the generosity of Ernest Ingold of San Francisco, Class of 1909.'Mr. Ingoldt s gift, presented through the University of Illinois Foundation, broughtto the Library a complete set of Shakespeare folios, a copy of the first edition ofShakespeare's poems, issued in 1640, facsimiles of quarto editions of the plays, anda number of titles dealingwith publication of Shakespeare's works during the 17thcentury. Receipt of t hese volumes fills the greatest lacks in the Library 's exten-sive collection of 17th century English literature.

Most famous of the editions of Shakespeare is the 1623 First Folio, includedin the collection. The Illinois copy was found in a country house library in SouthDevonshire, England, and was purchased by a private collector, John L. Balderston6f Beverly Hills, California, before coming to Illiois. The Illinois copy of theSecond Folio, issued in 1632, is in contemporary calf binding. The Third Folio,1663, rarest of the Folios, because most of the stock was destroyed in the GreatFire of London in 1666, is represented at Illinois by one of the best copies inexistence, formerly belonging t to he famous private libraries of Cortlandt Bishopand M.C.D. Borden. The Illinois copy of the tourth Folio (1685) last of te 17thcentury collected editions of Shakespeare, also comes from the Borden library. Farrarer even than the four folios is the first edition of Shakespeare's Poems, printedin London by Thomas Coates in l640. About fifty copies are known to exist. TheIllinois copy, in unusually perfect condition, has an added point of interest inbeing bound in original or very early Celf.

To mark receipt of the notable Ingold gift, a comprehensive exhibition of itsShakespeare treasures was shown in the University Library from May 15 throughJune 15, 1951, and a handsome catalog of the exhibition,- prepared by Thomas W.Baldwin and. Isabelle Grant, was published by the University Press and widely die-tributed.

Early Printed Books and Manuscripts

Noteworthy progress was made during the year in the Library's long-rangeprogram for developing other collections of early and rare books. For the 15thcentury several printed and manuscript editions were added to our important collec-tion of St. Thomas Acquinast works. To the Library's large collection of Bibles wasadded the earliest published edition of the 1ew Testament in Greek (Basle, 1516)together with other scarce 16th century titles. The 17th century is represented,for example, by an outstanding group of English plays by George Chapman, John Day,Thomas Dekker, Robert Greene, John Webster, and other playwrights. In the 18thcentury, the Alexander Pope collection was strengthened by first editions of fivetitles.

For later periods, there were acquired 39 titles ef William Thackeray firsteditions; 50 first editions of Thomas Hardy; 47 first editions of Maurice HenryHewlett; 30 first editions of Andrew Lang; 23 first editions of Leonard Merrick;and several hundred other first printings of titles by 19th century British andAmericqn authors.

Manuscripts purchased by Graduate College funds for the use of the individualscholars on the University faculty included 183 items written by Robert andElizabeth Barrett Browning; 600 items to and frbm William Allingham and his wife;a collection of 400 Marcel Proust letters; and a collection of 109 letters of RainerMaria Rilke.

Atomic Energy Commission

The Library was designated, in 1950, as one of 31 American institutions to bea depository for all non-secret research reports issued by the Atomic Energy Com-mission. Some 3,500 publications of the Commission have been received and recorded.

Railroad Literature

An alumnus ofthe University, George R. Carr of Chicago, Class of 1901, pre-sented the Library with a large and varied collection, especially strong in earlyAmerican railroad history. Included were biographies and diaries of railroadleaders; annual reports of railroads; guides and time tables; examples of railroadpasses, advertisements, and tickets; pictures and broadsides; and other types ofrailroad literature. Mr. Carr's gift comprised also several additional categories,e,g., presidential autographs, and other groups of signed documents and personalletters relating to American history; pamphlets, newspapers, and engravings pertain-ing to Chicago history; pamphlets, newspapers, letters, broadsides, and curiosadealing with, the Civil War: a similar collection on Abraham Lincoln; examples ofearly American currency; and an assortment of materials built around other collectinginterests,

Parmington Plan Books

Through the "Farmington Plan" a cooperative program for acquisition by Americanlibraries of all books of research value published currently in Western Europe,Latin America, and Australia, 1,599 volumes were received. Countries added to theproject during the year were Australia, Austria, Germany, Portugal, and Spain totake a total of 17 nations now covered by the joint efforts of 54 American libraries.

Latin American Literature

As a result of Professor John Van Horne t s visit, large shipments of SouthAmerican publications continued coming to the Library. Examples of major worksreceived are the Diccionario Enciclopedico Salvat and Juan Gines de Sepulveda'sOpera Omnia (1780).

Microfilm and Microprint

The Library's growing collection of photographic reproductions in the form ofphotostats, microfilm, and microprints is becoming increasingly important as asupplement to manuscripts and printed resources. The potential value of suchreproductions of materials is illustrated by two new photographic projects forwhich the Library has begun subscriptions. The first of these, to be carried onby the Readex Microprint Corpormtion and sponsored by the Theatre Library Association,is issuing microprints of about 5,000 representative English plays printed from1500 to 1800, and American plays fromthe beginning to 1830. The second project,undertaken by Musurgia Publishers of New York, provides for microfilming Germanperiodicals in the field of musicology for the period 1869 to 1943.

The Library also continued to expand the scope of its collection of non-bookmaterials of other types, notably for the Architecture and Art Library, MusicLibrary, Union Browsing Room, Labhr and Industrial Relations Library, and LibrarySchool Library. These materiPls include sound recordings, maps. slides, photo-graphs, pictures, plans, and moving picture film.

Periodicals

The Periodical Division of the Library is receiving currently 17,322 titles.This number is actually less than the previous year, for the 1,023 new titles begun,by purchase or otherwise in 19~50-51, are more than offset by 2,222 old titles dis-continued, through suspension of publishing or for other reasons--the first suchdrop in a number of years.

Following on established policy, important sets of periodicals and other serialpublications lacking in the Library's collection were acquired whenever opportunityoffered. Examples of files received during the year are: Aeta Pathologica etMicrobiologica Scandinavica, Angewandte Geographie, Archives Internationales dePhysilogie Geogrphische IeselGscaft, eographische ZeischriftRevista deMedicino Veterinaria, Revue des Etues Islaniques, -Revue Frantaise de l trangeret des Colonies at Exploration et0 azette Geographique, Societa -eo6af icatalinaBolletino, Atti dela' Societa per •gi Studi della Malaria, and Zeitschrift fOrMenschli che Vererbungs-und ionst i tutions-l ehre

Other Noteworthy Additions to Librar

Exchanges

As of June 30, 1951, the Library was carrying on exchange relations with 3,695American and foreign institutions and organizations. A total of 63,991 Universityof Illinois publications was sent out in the course of the year by the Library orby individual offices on the campus, The largest groups distributed were thesisabstracts, and Agricultural Experiment Station, Engineering Experiment Station, andGeological Suvey publications. Also popular were the Illinois Biological Monographs,Illinois Studies in Language and Literature, Illinois Studies in the Social Sciences,Journal of English and Germanic Philolo , Buresu of Economic and Business ResearchBulletin, a nd the Bureau of Research and Service Publications. Through its inter-national exchange arrangements, the Library achieved practically world-wide disseminm-ation of the University's varied publications. In return, the Library was recipientof a steady stream of materials (amounting to 59,666 items, exclusive of periodicalissues) published by American and foreign universities, colleges, academies, insti-tutes, museums, libraries, societies, and governments. Even the "Iron Curtaincountries" are eager to receive the published results of American scholarships andresearch, though reluctant to permit the work of their own scholars and scientiststo cross the borders into the free world.

In a different type of exchange, the Library exchanged duplicates with otherlibraries. Nearly 6,000 items were sent to or received from 156 institutions inthe United States, and 5,902 pieces were sent to 83 libraries abroad.

Gifts

In addition to collections mentioned previously, the Library benefited sub-stantially from gifts of books and other materials presented by numerous individu-als and organizations. Among donations of unusual importance were the following"from Professor Walter S. Monroe, about 3,200 volutes, pamphlets, periodicals, andreprints, chiefly in the field of education; from the American Library Association,about 6,400 volumes, pamphlets, and periodical issues, consisting for the most partof foreign library science publications; from the University Ments Club, 1,149volumes of general literature; from the estate of Dr. and Mrs. Samuel L. Wylie,1,775 volumes, pamphlets, and periodicals of general interest; from Miss Sola 3.Harper, 81 architectural works presented in memory of her brother, Edward ClarkHarper of the Class of 1914; from Charles V. Smith of the Class of 1903, DavidHunter Miller's My Diary of the Conference of Paris; over 700 volumes, pamphlets,and periodicals from Rarrison E. C ingham, formerly Director of the UniversityPress and Secretary of the Board of Trustees; from the library of the late DeanNathan 0. Ricker of the School of Architecture, presented through his daughter,28 packing boxes of books on architecture, engineering, and general literature;from the personal library of the late Professor and Mrs. John D. yitz-Gerald, 1,257volumes and pamphlets, strong in Spanish and French literature, and books of generalinterest. A more detailed list of donors is appended to the present report.

USE OF T PE LIBRARY

The recorded use of the Library was quantitatively less than in the precedingyear. The overall decline amounted to about four per cent, compared with the 14.5per cent decline in enrollment. As might be expected, reductions in use were notuniform among various types of readers nor in different library units. General cir-culation dropped seven per cent, but general circulation to faculty members actuallyincreased. Reserve circulation declined only two per cent. By service units, thelargest decreases in use occurred in departmental libraries serving colleges andschools with major declines in enrollments. It should be noted also that, thoughthe total use was less, per student use was higher; the individual student, there-fore, used the Library appreciably more.

-5-

While the recorded statistics of library use were less, the libraries never-theless gave an increased volume of service to the University in 190-551. Thistook place because the service emphasis shifted during the year, with reference,bibliographical, and research aid for graduate and upper-class students being improvedwhile the routine circulation of reserve books declined.

In the same direction, the personnel of the Library's public service depart-ments devoted considerable time and thought to the teaching function of the Library,a fundamental aspect too frequently neglected. Recognizing the need for improvedlibrary service for teaching, Library staff members concerned themselves with therole of the departmental library committee, relations with the faculty, public in-formation or publicity for teaching services of the Library, the professional-teaching duties of librarians, and the place of newer media of information andaudio-visual aids in teaching.

In some instances, especially in the Undergraduate Library, instructors havechanged from the use of reserves (educationally not the most desirable type oflibrary use) to the use of collateral readings and the assignment of more individualprojects, though it must be conceded that such improved methods are not yet generallyaccepted. In those libraries where all materials are on open shelves, reserve usetends to decrease and the educational value of the library to be more clearlyrecognized. Easy accessibility unquestionably facilitates and promotes use.

To publicise its resources, services, and values, the Library used a varietyof devices, e.g., courses ranging from elementary library methods to advanced sub-ject bibliography, library tours, exhibits, booklists of recent accessions or onspecial subjects, a weekly radio program, a public lecture series, a Freshmanhandbook, and news stories. During the year, particular attention was paid toproducini more useful booklists, to improving "The Library Presents" radio program,and to increasing the uses and values of exhibitions. i on-book materials and audio-visual aids were discussed at length, and a demonstration laboratory operated inconjunction with the Library School. A handbook for graduate students and facultymembers is nearing readiness for publication.

A number of libraries in the system made substantial improvements in physicalfacilities, services offered, or otherwise: (1) Agriculture, by adding shelvingfor 15,000 volumes and carrels for six readers, and by preparation of a list ofserial holdings for faculty distribution; (2) Architecture and Art, by improvingthe arrangement of, and service for, non-book materials, especially slides;(3) Chemistry, by adding shelving for 12,000 volumes and seats for 20 readers;(4) the Circulation Department, by adding a return station on the first floor,rearranging the circulation desk file area, and installing return chutes; (5) Clas-sics, by transferring less-used materials to the stacks and completing an inventory;(6) Education, Philosophy and Psychology, by starting a collection of administra-tive materials for educators; (7) Engineering, by installation of fluorescentlighting, by completing or maintaining major indexes to certain information innon-book form, and by a new visible index to serial holdings; (8) Labor and Indus-trial Relations Library, through several bibliographic projects and a monthlyreading list for high schoolst (9) Library School Library, by increasing its ser-vices of audio-visual aids; (10) Map Library, by increasing usability of theCartographic Laboratory; (II) Music, through completing manuals for Library serviceand for cataloging disks; (12) Natural History, by improving facilities for researchscholars; (13) Newspaper Library, by taking over all microfilms of newspapers:(14) Undergraduate Library, by integrating the Freshman rhetoric collection withits main collection; and (15) Union Browsing Room, through its extensive work withphonograph d isks.

Other activities of the public service divisions were numerous. For example;booklists, chiefly of new accessions, were issued by 16 libraries, usually atregular intervals. Office collections of University-owned books and journals,outside of departmental libraries, found in many departments of the University,were surveyed by public service personnel, with the aim of bringing some order outof the present rather chaotic situation. Final plans were drawn for the newVeterinary Medicine Library, to embody the latest advances in academic libraryservice; this division will begin operation in September, 1951. An abstractingservice in the field of labor and industrial relations was provided by the LaborInstitute Library. The Rare Book Room extended its coverage to take in all Englishbooks before 1801, all continental European books before 1701, and all AmericanBooks before 1820, or in some cases 1850; this step will bring between 50,000 and75,000 additional volumes within the scope of the Rare Book Collection.

PREPARATION OF MATERIALS

The technical departments of the Library, i.e., Acquisition, Catalog, Binding,and Photographic Reproduction, are charged with the procurement, organization, andpreparation for use of all types of library materials. A summary of their activi-ties for the year follows.

Acquisition Department

Some of the work of the Acquisition Department has been reviewed above underGROWTH OF THE LIBRARY, All materials added to the Library by purchase, exchange,or gift are received through this department. Through these various means,109,428 items (exclusive of periodical issues) were added to the library resourcesof the Urbana campus in 1950-51. Of the total, 48,520 items were purchased;54,595 were obtained through gifts and 6,313 by exchange. By categories, therewere 100,163 volumes and pamphlets and 9,255 music scores, maps, manuscripts, photo-graphic reproductions, prints, broadsides, and sound recordings,

Binding Department

Late in the year, the binding contract for the biennium beginning July , 1951,was awarded to Ernst Hertzberg and Sons of Chicago for the Urbana campus, and tothe Burgmeier Book Bindery, also of Chicago, for the two Chicago libraries.

The total number of volumes bound for the Library by commercial binderiesduring the past year was 21,809.

Since 1949 study and experimentation have been carried on aimed at keepingdown the average binding cost of books and periodicals and at using binding fundsmost effectively. On the basis of these investigations, binding specificationshave been revised. The old specifications provided for only two classes ofbinding: standard library binding and superior library binding. The revisedspecifications, prepared for and included in binding contracts for the 1951-53biennium, make only minor changes in the requirements for standard and superiorlibrary binding, but added three new sets of specifications: (1) standard librarybinding not requiring collationg (2) standard library binding not requiring collamtion and lettering; and (3) economy binding. The third class is intended chieflyfor books in paper covers in good condition and requiring no special bindingprocedures. Application of these devices in 1950-51 resulted in substantial savingson the cost of binding, which meant that more binding could be done withoutincreased expenditures and without any serious sacrifices of quality.

-7-

In addition to materials sent to commercial binderies, the Binding DepartmenttsPamphlet Binding and Book Repair Section processed 19,834 items, including 13,018pamphlets put in pressboard binders and 3,127 books repaired.

Catalog Department

A total of 29,240 new titles (highest in the history of the Library) and 90,125volumes were classified and cataloged during the past year. eew cards added to thegeneral card catalog totaled 89,698, a two per cent increase over last years.53,376 cards were filed in departmental library catalogs, and 22,547 cards werereceived from 11 other research libraries to expand the Union catalog.

In connection with the cooperative agreement between this Library and theLibrary of Congress, the Department prepared catalog entries for 1,579 titles, forwhich the Library of Congress printed cards. Cooperative cataloging work is in-creasing considerably, chiefly because of foreign books received through the Farm-ington Plan, and for which, by agreement, participating libraries supply cataloginformation for a central record in the Library of Congress.

Efforts to discover ways and means of increasing the output of the CatalogDepartment by concentrating on essentials and eliminating less important procedures,led to the decision, effective January 1, 1951, tt discontinue virtually all subjectcataloging for books printed prior to 1801. NTo subject cards are now being madefor these books except for biographies, critical works, and bibliographies.

Photographic Reproduction Laboratory

The microfilm work of the Photographic Reproduction Laboratory in 1950-51involved making about 93,000 exposures, an increase of 75 per cent over the yearbefore. In addition, 3,567 enlargement prints were made, and the laboratory staffwas responsible for bibliographic and clerical operations in making photostaticcopies of library materials.

The microfilming of Illinois local newspapers was carried forward whenever thecamera was not needed for current orders and personnel was available. A total of53,155 newspaper pages were microfilmed in the course of the year.

General

Incommon with similar divisions in other large research libraries, the CatalogDepartment is unable to process all material on a current basis. In order to pro-vide more effective bibliographic control over books for the general stacks, a newprocedure went into effect in January. In short, a brief author card is preparedbythe Acquisition Department for each uncataloged title. The books are givenserial numbers and shelved numerically. If a library user asks for one of thesevolumes, the request is transmitted to the Catalog Department, which can readilylocate the book on its shelves. The book is cataloged immediately and madeavailable to the user within two days. By this means, the problem of arrearagesin cataloging is much reduced in seriousness, and any book in the Library, catalogedor uncataloged, can be found with little delay.

The Library continued its program of controlling closely the duplication ofasbscriptions to periodical publications and limiting the number of copies of eachtitle bound. Some 3,000 titles have been affected thus far by such limitations,and the savings in acquisition costs, processing, storing, and binding are cumula-ttve and substantial.

Joint conferences between the Acquisition Department and Public Service Depart-ments' staffs resulted in drawing up a system of priorities for the replacement oflost books. According to this scheme, public service departments, in submittingorder cards for replacement copies, indicate one of the following priorities:(1) need is essential, (2) desirable to replace, (3) need is doubtful, and (4) notworth replacing. A statement of principles to be applied in establishing appropri-ate priorities ias drawn up for the infonmation of all divisions concerned.

Various questions arising from the rapid growth of the Library's map collectionand problems relating to the effective servicing of maps and related materials ledto adoption of the following policies: (1) no analytical work for maps in books andjournals is to be undertaken for the present, except for materials in active use;(2) issues of serial publications composed primarily of maps may be duplicated forthe Map Room or, if separately bound, may be transferred to the Map Room; (3) mapsfor teaching purposes, including wall maps and film strips, will be provided by theMap Room and loaned for temporary periods, but not as permanent equipment;(4) borderline maps, e.g., linguistic maps, are to be located where they will bemost used; (5) essential reference books pertinent to map research and study may beacquired for the Map Room.

Under the sponsorship of the Carnegie Corporation and the U. S. Department ofAgriculture Library, the University of Illinois is participating with 11 otherlibraries in a cooperative study of applications of photography to clerical pro-cedures in libraries. Special photographic equipment for this study has beendesigned and developed by the Librarian of the U, S. Department of Agriculture.The project is planned for a two-year period and is designed to establish the areasof usefulness of a new technicue under various administrative conditions and in awide variety of uses. Basically, he project involves a study of the costs ofroutine clerical procedures in libraries according to present methods, typing orhand copying, as compared with the photographic methods made possible by the newlyinvented camera and automatic processor. While awaiting delivery of the photo-graphic equipment, the Library has been engaged in the identification of possibleapplications in both technical and public service departments and in carrying oncost studies of present methods used in a number of clerical operations in whichthe photographic apparatus promises to effect the largest savings.

MEDICAL LIBRARY

In the acquisition of material, following its usual pattern, about 65 per centof the Medical Libraryts budget for additions was allotted to periodical subscrip-tions and binding and the remaining 35 per cent to books.

Because of the tendency of periodicals to consume a disproportionate share ofthe book budget, the Library's entire list of 650 journal subscriptions wasreviewed, with faculty assistance, and a number cf lit te-used titles of slight valuewere eliminated,

Funds available from special gifts or endowments enabled the Library to addsome important titles to its collection. From the Singer Memorial Fund for gastroen-terology seven titles were purchased. From the William Allen Busey Fund, $1,200was received and used for completing files of German dermatological periodicals,for obtaining reports of international congresses on dermatology, and an atlas ofdermatology. The Hertzler Fund grew from the sale of duplicates, and several majorworks were bought from that source. A gift from the Illinois Veterinary Practi-tioners Association is being used to purchase veterinary medicine periodicals.

-9-

Recorded use of library materials decreased 15 per cent from the previous year,but there was a marked upward trend in room use of the collections. With open 'ookstacks and much material available on reading room shelves, no attempt was made tocompile figures on the number of books consulted within the Library,. On the basisof the amount of staff time spent in assistance to readers, particularly students,however, it was evident that library use was expanding, The clientele of theLibrary remained much the same, including all individuals connected with the Chicagoprofessional colleges, affiliated institutions, and other medicAl institutionslocated in the West Side Medical Center. A closer connection with the Cook CountySchool of Nursing established last year resulted in a considerably greater increasein the use of library facilities, by both staff members and students. Affiliationof the Northwestern Medical School with Cook County Hospital has also meant anincrease in the use of books within the Library by its staff and students.

Borrowing of material through inter-library loans, principally for faculty use,grew by 31 per cent. Some 130 staff members made use of this service, and bookswere borrowed from 45 institutions.

The overflowing condition of the Library's bookstacks will be alleviated some-what during t he coming year by the transfer of certdn collections to the MidwestInter-Library Center, including 3,000 volumes of older textbooks, about 10,000volumes of little-used periodicals and serial publications, reports from publichealth agencies, and some uncataloged foreign dissertations.

The Library staff again cooperated with the Committee on International Coopera-tion of the Medical Library Association by supervising programs of study for foreignscholarship students working under Rockefeller Foundation grants. Medical librariansfrom Ireland, India, and Chile spent time in the Library under this plan.

CtICAGO UNDERGRADUATE DIVISIOP LIBRARY

The Chicago Undergraduate Division Library's 19,400 square feet of readingroom, stack, and office space at the east end of Navy Pier was generous when laidout in 1946-.48. Then there were seats for 821 students, shelving for a muchlarger book collection than the Library possessed, and office space in excess ofstaff needs. Now, at the end of the first five years, the 50,000-volume shelfcapacity has been reached; a large number of seats have been crowded out of thereading room to make way for additional desks, files, counters, and cabinets; thefull-time staff of 23 has out-grown available work space. Stack construction nowin progress, to provide for two or three years' book stack growth, will eliminate64 seats for readers.

These evidences of rapid physical growth tell the story of a library startingfrom scratch and developing in the amazingly short period of five years into acollege library comparable in size and quality to many older four-year institutions.The physical problems of the Library can hardly be resolved satisfactorily as longas the Division occupies Navy Pier.

A highly constructive feature of the Library's program and one which is attrac-ting wide attention among librarians is its work in giving all students basicinstruction in the use of the library. This undertaking, carried on in collaboratbnwith the rhetoric staff, reached 1,712 students in the fall semester and 1,456 stu-dents in the spring session. Three or four librarians met twice with each of 75 to80 sections of rhetoric courses Inlhe two semesters. Each entering student, there-fore, participated in four classroom sessions devoted to library materials andmethods, followed by "laboratory" assignments in the Library to put theory into

-100-

practice. The educational significance of the enterprise was soon demonstrated bysubstantial increases in the circulation of library materials and growing self-reliance among students in the use of reference books.

Despite an enrollment drop of 19 per cent since the fall of 1949, home use oflibrary books grew 10 per cent over the previous year and 69 per cent over 1948-49.The library instruction program, an enlarged book collection, and increased facultycooperation were the principal factors in these gains.

At the end of the year, the Library held 50,105 volumes, an increase of 8,632volumes over 1949-50. In view of t he somewhat limited library requirements ofFreshmen and Sophomores, this figure means that the Chicago Undergraduate DivisionLibrary now has on hand a book collection adequate to serve the ordinary needs ofstudents and faculty. The fact that all books have been acquired since 1946 isImportant, since the obsolete and obsolescent materials usually found in collegelibraries is lacking. Henceforth, at least until the program of the Chicago Divistmis expanded to include more advanced work, the Library can expect to be more selec-tive, to grow at a slower rate, and perhaps to withdraw less-used books. TheLibrary, of course, is a service agency for the whole institution and its futurehinges on future plans for the Universtty of Ilzinois in Chicago.

PERSOThWEL

Three members of the University Library staff with records of long and valu-able service reached automatic retirement age at the end of t he year. Josie B.Rouchens, Assistant University Librarian for Personnel and Associate Professor ofLibrary Science, Joined the Library staff in 1906, and has held various responsiblepositions in the organization since that date, including Library School teaching.f'nny Dunlap, Reference Librarian and Assistant Professor of Library Science, hasbeen in her present position since 1920, and in that capacity has aided thousandsof University of Illinois students and faculty members in their study and research.Meta M. Sexton, Cataloger, came to Illinois in 1922 and has since devoted her entiretime to cataloging of the famous Cavagna Italian collection; her calendar of themanuscripts in this collection was published in 1950 as the first volume in theAdah Patton Memorial series.

PUBLIC RELATIOTS

In the field of public relations were three programs carried on by the Libraryaimed at stimulating reading and informing the University community and others ofour resources. These were the weekly "Library Hour," the "Library Presents," alsoweekly, and a series of exhibitions.

The Library Hour Committee of the Librarians I Association arranged 21 public.lecture programs for the fall and spring semesters. Attendance at 20 of the seriestotaled 1,350, a substantial increase over the previous year, and, in addition,there was an overflow audience of 650 to hear Professor Paul Landis' annual readingof Dickens' "Christmas Carol." . The variety of topics dealt with in the series isillustrated by the following titles of talket "Illinois Hnorlsts," "Korea,""Displaced People of Europe," "Directions in the American Novel," "ContemporaryLiterature in South America," "Migratory Industry in the U.S.S.R.," "Zurich, Centerfor Jungian Psychiatry," "Book Design," "Contemporary Art," "American Folksong,""Technical Direction of Plays," "Communications in the World of Tomorrow," "Wild-life Conservation," "Western Canada," "Writing anthropology Books for Young People,""Trends of Fads in &Farm Home Design," and "Basketball."

-11-.

Of a similar nature is the "Library Presents" program scheduled weekly duringthe academic year over station WILL. Thirty-five talks or panel discussions werepresented in 1950-51. ,The University faculty and library staff members were theprincipal source for speakers. As in the Library Hour, the programs dealt with avariety of topics. Insofar as possible, the entire series was related in some wayto books and libraries.

A third type of public relations activity was exhibitions of library materials.A committee of t he Librarianst Association was assisted by other library staff andfaculty members in preparing an important and interesting program of exhibitsthroughout the year. The principal exhibitions, each scheduled to run for anaverage of about one month, were: "University of Illinois Faculty Publications,""A Century of Harpert s Magazine," "Private Presses and Private Press Traditions,""Christmas Story in Art," "Three Centuries of Bird Books," "History of the NegroPeople," "Illini Union," "Arts Festival," "'Nobel Prizes, 1950," "50 Best Books ofthe Year," and "Shakespeare at Illinois,.

MIDEST ItTrR·l-IBRAY CENTER

By the end of the year, with its building in Chiccgo approaching completion,the Midwest Inter-Library Center had begun assembling from participating librariescollections of material for deposit. Membership in the organization now includes15 institutions, all except one, John Crerar Library, large Midwestern universities.

Among types of material in process of being transferred to MILC by theUniversity of Illinois Library aret state government publications (of which theCenter expects to build up a comprehensive collection for the United States), oldertextbooks, foreign dissertations, college catalogs, house organs, manufacturers#catalogs, insurance reports, telephone directories, and newspapers. These cate-gories are estimated to fill over 13,000 lineal feet of space and will give con-siderable relief in an overcrowded library building.

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