Linda Evans LOCKED STAFF LaJNGE PROBLEM Since the staff lounge has been locked quite a bit lately, a key has been given to the Circulation Dept. to be kept on the emergency key ring. This will allow access to the staff lounge at ALL times for anyone needing to use the facilities. In the meantime, we are trying to find out who keeps locking the door so that we can ask them to stop. Ruth Miller MUSIC LIBRARY MINI -roVE Staff in the Music Library are in the process of moving ca.2,000-3,000 , little-used monographs to storage in open stacks in the Anschutz Science Library. ,Books on music which haven't circulated in the past 7 years will be transferred in the Libraries' circulation system to Science, and will circulate directly from Science Library shelves. The circulation system will be the most reliable source of current location for these materials, since most of them are older materials with no on-iine catalog record. Card catalog records for these items in Watson and Music Library catalogs are not being ammended to indicate a change of An Equal ~rtunity/Affirmative Action Enp10yer Page 2 location. Please contact a staff member in the Music Library to verify a location of any specific music monograph. This move will not affect the music scores. Susan Hitchens TERMINAL INSTALLATlOO DELAYS Installation of staff and public terminals on Watson 2nd and 4th floors and in I several branches continues to be delayed by one thing after another. We had been told that most connections would be available after changes made to the system on January 19. Those changes have been delayed by the Computer Center along with all other system changes until after enrollment is completed. The current target is Friday the 26th, meaning terminals would probably not be operational until Monday the 29th. I have complained but do not expect that this date will be moved forward. A few of the branches still require some other work as well, but I do not yet know the exact status of each situation. John Miller ASSISTANCE WANTED I am driving a woman to KU Med Center on Saturdays for dialysis. She is unable to do so herself and has no steady source of rides to rely on. I am looking for someone to help share the driving. That is, I want help with either driving her in at mid morning or bringing her home at the end of the afternoon, thus relieving me of having to stay at KUMC the whole day.

It vias noted that Dan Barkley is planning to resign from the Committee. Schulte will contact Rob Melton about a replacement. She will also inquire about a formal charge for the Committee, since one has not yet been issued. Discussion followed concerning the charge as we understand it to be, the gathering of information about the library's planning process. Barb sug­ gested that the members of the Committee call all library staff and ask them questions concerning their participation in planning through commit­ tees, staff meetings, etc. Nancy Jaeger offered to provide a list of all unclassified faculty and staff. Barb will divide the list among Committee members. She will have these calling lists available for the next meeting. The next meeting has been scheduled for Thurs. Dec. 14 at 10:30 in Meeting Room B. Hopefully we will have a Committee charge by then and can formu­ late the questions to ask staff members. Respectfully submitted, - . . .'1 .. '} Jtc I .: 0-<:: (>~ -::-~~0 · - ! Rebecca Schulte \ \ . .\ , " Minutes: SALARIES AND BENEFITS COMMITTEE Date: December 14~ 1989 Sandy Gilliland, Ken Lo hrentz, Kathleen Neeley, John Richardson~ Millie Smith (guest) Millie Smith, s t aff benefits coordinator for the university, agreed to attend the meeting to an s wer questions regarding the di s ability and health insurance plans. The following summarizes the information she provided: D i ~.; a qLLoLti'_ ~:.!o!.E::;_l::\ t- '0~~of9E~ majot- ~.;uro geroy. She said that she knows of at least one university employee who was forced to go on welfare before the six - month waiting period had e x pired . She affirmed that the plan provides coverage only if the clc:dmctnt i~:; un d bl f? to pf,?r-Ofonn any "n: -a~?onable" occupation, not just the claimant ' s occupation at the time of the disability, and that the plan does not provide coverage for partial disability. She explained that there i s no cost-of-living allowance; however, increases in benefits are periodically voted by the legislature as it sees fit. As these increases do not necessarily reflect changes in the cost of living, the committee believes it is possible that the relative value oi the benefits a disabled person receives might be s(~ver-~l.,. eroded ovetO- a pf~tO- i()d oof ye·ars. She stated that, after a disability, a person remains eligible for health insurance at the group rate, but mus t pay the full amount of the premiums without any contribu t ion by the state. This provision is analogous to the provision that a retiree wishing to remain in the state health plan must pay the full rate. She added that state r e tire me nt contributions continue after a di s ability until the a ge of retirement. The former employe e the n receives both disability and retireme nt benefits simultaneously. When asked about the fea s ibility of obtaining a more flexible, " ca feter-ia-style" plan, ~.;;hc? <:''1ns''JE'r e d tloo,Ed: ~ bE·caust::- all state employees are under the s ame plan, changes must come at the state ,.1 ' .

Regarding the availability of psychological counseling services tor HMO member s in Lawrence~ it WdS reported that there is a local Metropolitan Counseling Center site~ contrary to the committee's previous understanding. She said that she does not know what the official justification is for married couples paying higher rates than si ngle parents with children. At the close of the meeting~ it was obs erved that it seems in Kdnsas as the rates go up and up~ benefits dnd services decline~ and that one reason for this may be that state government has allowed Blue Cross to have a monopoly on health insurance in recent years. The opinion was also expressed that the Health Care Commission in Topeka shares some responsibility for this state of affairs because it has not forcefully lobbied the state legislature for better funding. The committee discussed several options that might be pursued from this point. These include presenting our concerns to Marshall Crowther~ head of KPERS. and/or with the KU's lobbyist with the state legislature, establishing contact with other regents' libraries, finding out if any university-wide committees have similar concerns, and holding a brown bag lunch for library employees for the dual purposes of sharing our concerns and passing along the information we have acquired~ and hearing the opinions of staff members on these issues and ascertaining the level of interest in the issues we are addressing.

Miller, Moore, Neugebauer, Pardue, Perry, Richardson, Schaffner, Snell, S. Williams, Wilson. The meeting was convened at 9:30 a.m. Minutes of the last general meeting, held November 8 (published in FYI November 16) were approved. I. Committee reports (October to present) 1. Library Committee on Promotion and Tenure (Moore): the committee was reviewing one file for tenure. 2. Budget & Planning (Melton for Gaeddert): B&P had received its ad hoc charge, to prepare an overview of the library's various planning committees. R. Ring had been appointed to a recent vacancy on the committee. 3. Salaries & Benefits (Lohrentz): S&B had recently had a meeting with Millie Smith of the university's Staff Benefits office. The committee had reviewed the university's basic benefits and identi ­ fied some possible gaps. S&B was planning to hold an informational session on its recent findings for LFA members at a brown bag lunch on January 18. :, II. LFA's recommendation on the report of the Dean's Committee on the status of Unclassified Professional Staff: members discussed a draft recommendation to the Dean prepared by Exec. There was a suggestion that discussion be postponed until a larger turnout of LFA me~bers could be expected, including members affected by LFA's recommt3ndation and those wi til til ffer ing opinions. Question: does the library have the head count needed for the shifts that the report proposes? Gilliland, as Assistant to the Dean for Personnel, said that was a concern, but that the Dean was willing to pursue with Academic Affairs any strong recommendation for changes. Suggestion: the most important issue now is how to prevent a recurrence of the situation in the future, not immediate reclassification of present positions. Suggestion: the document could be made much shorter than Exec's present draft, simply stating that LFA supports the recommendations of the Dean's committee. It was observed that in some departments Unclassified Professional positions were the only recourse for professional positions, since tenure track positions were not available at the time; otherwise, the job requirements/qualifications were the same as they would have been if the position had been advertised as tenure-track. Suggestion: to avoid tho question of whether or not to shift some employees into tenure-track positions , perhnps OIlly option two in Exec's draft recommendation (suggesting switching the professional positions to Unclassified Academic Staff status) could be seriously considered for now. Suggestion: LFA's draft recommendation should be submitted to the Office of Affirmative Action for an outside opinion on its appropriateness. I' The assembly agreed to submit a revised version of the draft recommendation to the Dean, stating that incumbents in what were judged to be professional positions could pursue one of three options: 1) to remain in their present job titles, 2) to request reclassification of their position to a non-·tenurable Unclassified Academic Staff title, or 3) to request reclassification of their position to a tenure-track title . . The meeting adjourned at 11:45. Submitted by Mike Biggins LFA EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE: MINUTES December 11, 1989 Present: Biggins, Bromberg, Clark, DiFilippo, Melton, Snell, S. Williams. Minutes of the last meeting of Exec (December 4) and of the last general meeting (December 5) were approved with corrections. I. Appointment to Budget & Planning: only one LFA member had volun­ teered by the deadline. Rich Ring was appointed to the opening on B&P. II. Dean of Libraries search: after the last general meeting, Rob Melton had conveyed the sense of LFA's preferences for advertising procedures and job qualifications to Vice Chancellor Burchill. III. LFA's recommendation to the Dean on the status of unclassified professional staff (non-tenure track) in the libraries: Rob Melton had prepared a draft letter to the Dean to present to the next LFA general meeting for discussion. The Dean's committee on the status of unclassified professional staff found in its report that major inequities had developed within this employment category over the years, and recommended that library positions currently classified this way should be reevaluated as they come open and redefined either as classified or faculty positions. Disagreement centered on what procedures to advise the Dean to USB in the event that some of these positions are changed to faculty rank positions. It was agreed to present several options to the general assembly for dis­ cussion. Submitted by Mike Biggins I PROMOfION AND TRANSFER~ LIST ~.

This is my report. Although a little late, the information is as interesting now as it would ha ve been last July, and the farther you read, the better it gets. On Saturday I attended the LAMA Systems and Services Section program "Networking CD-ROMs: Myth and Reality" and the ACRL University Libraries Section program "Infostructure: Building the New Campus Information Infrastructure." KU was well-represented in both audiences, which were huge. Sunday's programs were more personalized. The first was the ACRL Chapters Council. The Kansas Library Association's College and University Libraries Section, of which I am president, is also the ACRL's Kansas Chapter. As such CULS receives $1.50 from ACRL for each ACRL member living in Kansas whether they belong to CULS or not. In 1989 this came to $168. An issue of current interest in Chapters Council is how to increase the participation of paraprofessional staff in chapter activities. Sunday afternoon I attended the RASD Reference Services in Large Research Libraries Discussion Group. The first discussion topic concerned the · reorganization of the Michigan State University reference department upon the introduction of a separate information desk to handle ready reference q ues tions. This development caused great emotional upheaval and turnover among reference staff and was described in excessive, almost ghoulish, detail by the library's deputy director (Cliff Haka was not at the meeting). The second topic concerned the Graduate Library at the University of Michigan where the services of a reference librarian are available only by appointment. Instead, the reference desk is staffed by student assistants under the supervision of a couple of paraprofessionals. This scheme, which needless to say is heretical among "big reference heads," was initiated some years ago when Linda Par ker was head of that reference department and Richard Dougherty, now ALA president-elect, was library director. Under cross-examination, the current head admitted (with surprising dispassion) they still have no measure of the impact this arrangement has had on service, but the eight reference librarians seem to have alot more time to do collection development! Monday I heard Herb White speak at the RASD Interlibrary Loan Committee's serials CrISlS program, ridiculing librarians as usual, blaming it all on the profession. If you like librarian-bashing, you would have loved Herb. Also on Monday I attended my first meeting of the RASD Collection Development and Evaluation Section's committee on Reference Collection Development and Evaluation, of which I am a member, thanks to our old colleague Charles Getchell. This is a new committee, and we spent most of our time discussion future projects. I took the minutes and also volunteered to compile a bibliography on reference collection development (a vailable free from the author). The most interesting meeting I went to was on Tuesday morning: the RASD Fee-Based Reference Services Committee. The first presentation was a cost analysis of library services at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University. This was ordered by the new director there, who is an engineer, not a librarian. Among the findings: average total cost to purchase and shelve a monographic volume in 1986- 87, including collection development, acquisitions and cataloging: $106.22. For a serial volume: $180.86. Full cost per interlibrary loan: $9.23. A reference question: $6.38. One use of this data was for pricing fee-based services. VPI&S U's conclusion: if pricing was set to recover full costs, no one could afford to buy. This is typical; all fee-based services are subsidized by their host libraries. The second presentation concerned a lawsuit brought by a (private) information broker against the fee­ based service at the (publicly funded) Arizona State University on the grounds of unfair competition. This case was reported in the May 1989 C&RL News. ASU won. Finally, and best of all, was a discussion of the start-up of a new fee-based service at the Milwaukee Public Library. There, too, the director was concerned with recovering costs. He had to settle, however, (with the consent of his board) with charging "only" what the market would bear, currently $25 per hour, recovering just 40-50 percent of cost. It seems the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee also has a fee­ based service. Meanwhile, back in Page 6 Arizona, the Phoenix Public Library (across the river from AS U) likewise offers fee-based services. In both Milwaukee and Phoenix, then, there are two large, publicly funded libraries subsidizing fee-based services in competition with one another! The idea of libraries (and publicly funded ones at that) competing head-to-head in the commercial marketplace is intriguing, if not downright amazing. In answer to questions the Milwaukee PL director allowed it was too soon to tell w hat the outcome might be. The manager of AS U's service supposed the Phoenix market big enough for both. Stay tuned, investors, this could get interesting! Will meetings at ALA now be covered by the Wall Street Journal? (I am sending a copy of my report to Hagedorn as soon as I can find her address.) How much will a "seat" on RASD's Fee-Based Reference Services Committee cost? How much travel money can I get for a hot tip here, a little insider information there? More than $43, I'll bet. ·.- \ PROlVl _ fION AND TRANSFER LiST : f\ i 3 c· ; ../:.~' . r:. :~:'-""':~ 1Jnivcrri~! c; K:r.:C3 ~:-:.: :: ~: State of Kansas ·· Department of Adminlslr;Jl i-un DIVISION OF PERSO:\NEL SERVICES Landon St:lle Office Building. 900 S.W.

The title, "Poland: a Thousand 'Springtimes", reflects the deep sense of nationalism and the will to survive through a thousand years of the tempestuous history of Poland--history which is clearly still being made today. The exhibition includes both printed materials and manuscripts" and many illustrations and maps among the more than one hundred items on show. A 1493 engraving of the city of Crakow is accompanied by a later view from 1600" and Warsaw is shown in 1656. Among the manuscripts shown are a passport signed by King Henry III of Poland in 1574" and an order signed by Queen Anna Jagiellonka in 1588; these form part of a large and extremely important collection of original manuscripts from the 16th century. These same monarchs are among the sequence of royal portraits from the mythic beginnings to the 17th century. Also shown are books dealing with the exploits of John Sobieski; the history of the revolution of 1794 and the oath of Kosciusko; the beginnings of Polish socialism" and of revolt against the Russian empire. Science in Poland--the land of. Copernicus and Marie Curie--is represented by books on botany,: ornithology'l mathematics" zoology and chemistry. Literature" including Mickiewicz, the national poet" and Joseph Conrad" the Polish stylist of the English language, is featured" as are music and theatre. I The more recent part of the exhibition includes accounts of the Nazi occupation of Poland" of Lublin, the Warsaw Ghetto, and Auschwitz.

L. E. James Helyar ATl'ACHMENTS Travel report submitted by Sherry Hawkins and State Promotion and Transfer List. Ruth Miller To: Staff Development Committee From: Sherry Hawkins About: Special Library Association Conference, New York. This was my first SLA conference and my first trip to New York. Both were overwhelming experiences. What SLA lacks in numbers of conference goers (compared to ALA) it makes up for in chaos. The majority of the conference was strung between two major downtown Manhattan hotels with complicated room layouts and/or construction. Neither the meeting rooms nor the exhibits were located in one building. The meetings showed the kind of diversity one might expect from the gamut of special libraries represented. Many of the conference attendees were government, or business, or health, or law, or telecomunications oriented; however there were many other fields represented and entrepreneurs were everywhere! I attended the general "new members" meeting, the two general " sessions, a breakfast/feedback session hosted by a major science publisher, several sessions on hypertext and technology in libraries of various types and I spent many hours in the various rooms of exhibits. It was a stimulation meeting place filled with information and diver&ay talented people.

Reports were that the trip was successful. Rhonda said she will put off her presentation to LFA to a later date because of other important matters that will be discussed at the upcoming LFA meeting. Rhonda is considering a library issues forum. She has names of several people who might lead each forum. She is working out a schedule. Linda raised a question about allocating travel funds to people who will attend meetings as committee members. Rick pointed out that at ALA meetings, an important part of the work is done by committees. People should be asked to define their activity or responsibilities and to estimate the time these will take. Linda will rework the application form.

' ~f (/- " I' DATE: TO: FROM: RE: Report February 14, 1990 Staff Development Committee Ka thleen Neeley \ZL.N American Library Association Annual Conference 1989 I attended the 1989 ALA Annual Conference from June 24 through June 27, 1'389, in Da lla s. There weY"e many sessions on various aspects of library automation, and unfortunately, many of them overlapped. I attended the LAMA program called Networking CD-ROMs: Myth and Reality. Some inteY"esting ideas, such as dialing into a LAN, weY"e discussed along with many of the problems and possible limitations of LANs. The ACRL Science and Tech­ nok.gy Section's Science Databases Discussion Group's session on Locally Loaded Tapes was the most informal and stimulating meeting I attended. Joe Giglio from BRS Onsite gave a short presentation on BRS's program and other options for locally loading tapes. Then rep­ resentatives from Cal Tech, UC San Diego, Clemson, Delaware, CMU and RutgeY"s gave summaries of what they weY"e doing at theiY" Y"espective institutions. Most institutions weY"e taking money foY" such programs from acquisitions funding, but some had gotten special money from grants, gifts or other departments on campus. RASD Interlibrary Loan Committee sponsored a session call Interlibrary Loan and Serials Crises: Strategies for the 1990's, featuring Herb White as the lead speaker. Some of his points included: publishers will continue to start new serials as long as libraries continue to find additional money to buy them and as long as faculty members continue to want to publish more and more articles; all ARL libraries should cancel spe­ cific journals and then tell their faculty not to publish in those journals; interlibrary services should be part of the acquisitions budget. STS's Publisher Relations Committee sponsored a Serials Prices Discussion where I learned that there is an E-mail group on serial prices. Soon I expect to be able to access this group on my own micro! The exhibits were useful, especially for consideration of photocopying equipment and signage this year. The new Minolta microform reader printer was quite impY"essive, as was the new XeY"ox BooksaveY" CopieY". Modulex had the most flexible and duY"able signage system, and just this week we Y"eceived OUY" diY"ectories for the library from them. Many of the CD-ROM vendors were there with new pY"oducts. The poster ses­ sions weY"e again informative this yeaY", especially the sessions on bibliographic instruction. In additio n to the many conference-related activities I attended, I spent some time getting to know Dallas, a city I had never visited, and which I enjoyed much moY"e than I thought I would. Thanks to the Staff Development Committee for providing assistance with the e xpenses. PROMOTION AND TRANSFER LIST FE320"1"m1 oo,1,,!! '.'.~-~",. " ".~" " ..

The Committee agreed to a regular meeting time at 1:00 on Thursday. Connie suggested that equitable funding across the board for staff development be a topic for the next meeting. Rick is working on a staff tour to Park College to view Park's underground library. Rick asked that any staff member with ideas for worthwhile tours give him suggestions. Norma reported on activities of the Orientation Committee. OC members are presenting slide shows on preservation.

Rhonda suggested that the preservation slide, Slow Fires, be shown at a brown bag luncheon. This will be discussed at the next meeting. Rhonda suggested also that each SDC member take responsibility for a brown bag luncheon. Rhonda said she and Rick will be working on the lecture series. The Committee discussed Connie's draft on how people can apply for the workshop money that was allocated for this year. Rick suggested development of a form on which people could apply.

Minutes from the Staff Development committee (December 7, 1989) were aclmowledged and forwarded to EYl. I. Advertising for library rlpansh1p: Melton had contacted the chair of the Dean of Libraries search committee, Ron Francisco, who informed him that the editors of Collpae And RpRear0h LibrRry NPH6 had failed to include the KU deanship in its February listing of open positions, although the search committee had sent r&RLN copy for the advertisement. The advertisement would first appear in the March issue of C&RLN, and consequently the committee had set a new deadline for applications of March 20. II. Library hudbfPt reg1JPs t . for FY 91 :=md !i2: Exec discussed what issues of professional concern to library faculty might go into a letter to the University administration calling for greater budgetary support for the libraries in the next two fiscal years: a stronger library budget is crucial to the process of hiring a new Dean of Libraries; fewer student hours would require professionals to do more clerical work to the detriment of their professional responsibilities; there is a need for more professional positions library-wide. Melton would draft a letter by Wednesday incorporating Exec's most salient suggestions, to be sent on behalf of LFA to the Office of Academic Affairs. III. Senat~Lihraries Committep: Melton, as LFA representative to this committee, announced that discussion of Library policy on collecting non-print materials (e.g., video and audio tapes, machine-readable data bases) was on the agenda of its next meeting.

MINUTES FOR FEBRUARY 22. 1990 Attendees: John Miller (Chair), Sarah Couch. Susan Craig (Recorder), Gaele Gillespie, Annamarie Hill, Kathleen Neeley, Rich Ring. Mary Roach. Kendall Simmons Absent: Bayliss Harsh. Mary Hawkins 1. Minutes: John Miller asked for a volunteer to record minutes for all the meetings of the task force. No one volunteered so it was decided that the members will take turns at the task. It was decided that regular reports of the committee's deliberations should be published in FYI so that all members of the library staff could remain informed as discussion continues. 2. Charge to the Circulation Task Force from the Library Automation Committee: The bulk of the meeting was spent analyzing the charge which was distributed. Points in the charge include: the task force is required to produce a report by September 1, 1990; the report will be an interim report which must be comprehensible to general library staff--getailed appendices may be added to the report or a second. more detail~report may be required; the project must be viewed as a new system. not a set of fixes to the existing system. Specific areas to be covered in the report include: basic circulation functions; reserve; collection development statistics and reports; public access, including integration with the online catalog; interlibrary services; staff management; security and confidentiality; record creation and modification. The committee briefly discussed each of the specific areas and decided that working groups chaired by a committee member may be needed to address each concern. The working groups will be formed after further discussion within the committee occurs however a tentative list of working group chairs was made: Reserve (Harsh); Interlibrary Services (Neeley); Patron files, accounting, fines (Simmons); Patron use (Hawkins); Collection Development (Ring); Check-in, Check-out, Recalls, etc (Couch), Staff Management (Gillespie). 3. The next meeting of the task force will be Thursday, March 8 at 10:30am. Charge 12 ~ Circulation l=k. Force fran the Library Automation Comrrdttee February 27, 1990 The Task Force shall present a report to the Library Automation Comrrdttee by September 1, 1990 that presents options and recommendations for a new circulation system for the KU Libraries. The report should address at least the following topics: (1) basic circulation functions such as checkout, inventory and transfers, accounting and fines, notices and reports, patron files, and record creation and modification; (2) staff management; (3) security and confidentiality; (4) reserve; (5) collection development statistics and reports; (6) public access, including integration with the online catalog; and (7) interlibrary loan requests and control. The project should be viewed as a new system, not as a set of fixes to the existing system. The Comnittee feels that what is needed at this point are functional system requirements in priority order. In some sense, this report is an interim report, assuming that a new Dean will wish to review the general idea before going forward with a complete analysis and design. This means that this report will probably be the first of two, to be followed by a more detailed analysis following a review by the Automation Comrrdttee and the Dean. The report must be written in a way that is comprehensible to general library staff not actively involved in circulation activities. A middle-level of detail is perhaps best -- something more than sweeping statements, something less than a complete detailed system design. The following are sane general goals that the Autornation Comrrdttee wishes to see reflected in the system requirements. The goals listed represent a concensus of the comrrdttee m:mbers, but are not meant to be an exhaustive list. 1) The system should minimize redlIDdant data and minimize duplication of effort throughout all library systems. 2) The system should maximize what library patrons are allowed to do for themselves. 3) The system should maintain necessary security of files and data and maintain necessary patron confidentiality. 4) The system should make the issue of centralization versus decentralization one of a~nistrative policy rather than technical requirement. 5) The system should stress simplicity of use.

John Miller SERIALS WITH TEMPORARILY~DISPLAYING HOLDINGS Due to the gap between the time a local serial bibliographic record is bumped by an incoming OCLC record (every other Sunday night) and the schedule for creating and loading a new online catalog (Wednesday-Sunday) , indi vidual serials may appear in the online catalog for a week without holdings. If someone requests a holdings display for one of these titles, a message window appears with the following message: "Sorry-Holdings for this serial are not currently available in the online catalog. Ask for assistance at the Reference Desk. Holding may be available in the library's serials technical processing system." If a user comes to you with such a case, the only place (until the next week) to find the location, call number, and holdings is in UKASE. John Miller NEW EXHIBIT The Kansas Collection has prepared a new exhibit which will open for viewing Monday, March 26, in the Main Gallery (1st floor) of Kenneth Spencer Research Library. "Against the Tide!" is the first exhibition drawn from the Wilcox Collection of Contemporary Political Movements. The exhibit contains materials that document a very wide spectrum of subject and oplnlon, including anti-communist sentiment in the 1930's, the civil rights movement in the 1960's, and current concern with the abortion issue and the preservation of the earth's environment. Student protest in the 1960's and 1970's is illustrated by posters and underground newspapers, and by the writings of such people as Jeery Rubin, and Abbie Hoffman. The exhibit was prepared by Rebecca Schulte, with assistance from Susanne Clement. The Kansas Collection will also host a reception on Wednesday, March 28, at 4:00 p.m. on the first floor of Spencer Research Library. Everyone is invited to attend.

Submitted by Janet Anderson-Story suggestions, A copy The Personnel Committee met this morning to discuss the new food and drink draft proposal. The following suggestions/questions follow below: 1. Coolers, sealed items such as sandwiches not being consumed but sitting in open view, squeeze h9ttles and CUDS of water either being carried around or sitting~cables need to be addressed as enforceable "no food or drink". 2. Define "administrative approval" for social functions (Dean's approval or department head a~proval?). 3. Is food / drink allowed in student lounge area? The only two options given in this draft for patrons caught with fo~d/drink are leave building or discard. The following changes are proposed for the draft: Public Areas : remove the phrase "whose work responsibilities involve public areas of the Library" meaning not just public service staff should be responsible for enforcement. The last paragraph should read: Hithin each department, the head shall establish a food and drink policy for Hork areas. This policy shall take into account ~eeds and resp-Qn.~j...bj.J.j=J.i~L9L_sS?-_~L~g~b~~~_ as well as the dangers posed by the consumption of food and drink within the departmental work area and shall contain such provisions as are ,necessary to protect the Library collection. ~-Je felt the last sentence should be ieft off as it is redundant.

Rex Hargis ATTACHMENTS Attached to this issue of FYI are the following minutes: LFA Executive Committee meetings on 3/26/90, 4/2/90, 4/16/90, 4/23/90; Budget and Planning Committee meetings for 2/20/90, 3/13/90; Orientation Committee meetings on 3/20/90, and 4/3/90; Stop Day Dog Roast Invitation; State Promotion and Transfer list. LFA Executive Committee Minutes March 26, 1990 Present: Rob Helton, Marilyn Clark, Nikki Bromberg, Paulette DiFilippo, Kathy Snell, Sherry Williams Absent: Mike Biggins It was announced that Mike Biggins would be unable to attend the next few meetings as he is working on a translation project. The Committee then reviewed and approved minutes of the Orientation Committee, and the Staff Development Committee. A general discussion then ensued concerning the structuring of LFA's involvement in interviews of candidates for Dean of the Libraries. The proposed time schedule for various contingents to meet with the candiates as issued in FYI allotted one hour for a meeting with the LFA. Concern was expressed that this might not be enough time. Rob has asked the Libraries' representatives on the search committee for an extra 15 minutes to be added to the LFA time; however, we do not know if the Search Committee will approve this. It was suggested that each candidate be sent a copy of the LFA Code, and perhaps other documentation such as minutes of meetings prior to each interview. The Committee then discussed sending a letter to LFA members, asking them to think about general issues that they might want to discuss in the interviews. It was suggested that we could also a sk for suggestions as to appropriate documentation to send. It was agreed that we should follow this approach, and Rob indicated that he would draft a letter for review. The following issues were then identified as potential discussion areas for the interviews. 1. Background and exp erience working with a group such as LFA. 2. L~perience with a category of staff as the Unclassified Non-Tenure Track Professional Staff. What could be done to ameliorate problems relating to misuse of the category? 3. Views on the importance of research and service in relation to librarians' assignments. 4. The role of the Budget and Planning Committee. 5. The role of the staff development. It was decided that in view of general concerns over the proposed length of each candidates visit, that Rob will draft a letter to Ron Francisco, chair ·of· the Search Committee, request i ng that the stay for each candidate be extended through an additional half day . LFA L~ecutive Committee Minutes April 2, 1990 Present: Marilyn Clark, Paulette DiFilippo, Nikki Bromberg, Rob Melton, Mike Biggins, Kathy Snell, Sherry Williams In light of concerns expressed over an initial draft of a letter to LFA members outlining possible issues to discuss with Deans' candidates, the Committee discussed further the applicability of such a letter. A suggestion was made to put a general announcement in FYI, rather than send a letter. After considering this option the Committee decided to send a letter to each member. The draft of the letter, circulated previously, was then discussed briefly . Rob will contact Ron Francisco by phone to express our request that the time allotted for interviewees be a~tended by a half day. The Committee then discussed what mechanisms, if any, should be set up for providing LFA feedback to the search committee on each of the candidates. It was suggested that we schedule a meeting after the interview process, in order for LFA members to discuss the candidates. This could be done in connection with an LFA spring meeting, at which other business could be conducted, if time alloIVS. It ~"as decided to ask the LFA members if they would like such an option in the the letter already designated to go out. The Committee then discussed a memo from Judith Emde, chair of the Orientation Committee, containing proposed ammendments to the LFA Code. It was decided to put the matter on the agenda for a spring meeting. LFA EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE: MINUTES Ap, i.l 16, 1990 P,esent: Biggins, B,ombe,g, Cla,k, DiFilippo, Melton, S. Williams.

Our intent is that the forum is partly for the benefit of LFA members who missed any of the presentations or meetings by any of the five candidates by having other LFA members who were in attendance summarize the questions and answers given, but it is also an opportunity for those who attended all meetings to share their views. It is not seen as a forum primarily for arguments for or against specific candidates, nor is it anticipated that any kind of straw poll or ranking will result which could be construed as any kind of official LFA preference. As you are probably aware, the time constraints imposed on the Search Committee have provided little time between the last meeting with the final candidate at 4:00 on Tuesday, May 8th and the deadline for library staff comments to the Search Committee at noon on Wednesday the 9th. To be beneficial at all, a forum would have to be held late Tuesday afternoon or very early Wednesday morning. After discussing the options, the Executive Committee felt that a late Tuesday afternoon meeting would be preferable. In this way, individuals may still have overnight to digest the information they receive at the forum, form their best final opinion, and send it to the Search Committee Wednesday morning. We also felt that a meeting outside the Libraries might attract more people and emphasize the fact that the meeting was for information exchange and not for the formulation of an official LFA recommendation. Therefore, the LFA Exec will sponsor such a forum on Tuesday afternoon, May 8th, beginning at 4: 15 p.m. in Alcove nAn of the Kansas Union. The room is reserved until 6:00 p.m., but the meeting is envisioned as a come-and-go affair. All LFA members are encouraged to attend.

LFA Salary Committee PROFESSIOOAL ISSU&S FORUM: WITH GUESTS FRa-t THE KC STAR LIBRARY (note new date and time please) The Staff Development Committee invites all library staff members to the next lecture in our series. On Thursday, May 10 at 10:30 a.m. Alvin Goldberg, Director of Administrative Services, and Aurora Davis, Director of Information Services for the Kansas City Star Company, will speak about the KC Star newspaper library. They will discuss automation plans, ongoing activities in the library (such as going online) and their staffing and personnel practices. As information professionals dealing with a very fast-paced environment, their activities may be quite different from ours, but their philosophy of service and their need to have readily available information on practically every issue means they face a lot of the same challenges we do. Please join us in the conference rooms on 5th floor of Watson. Refreshments will be provided. ALL staff members are encouraged to attend. Rhonda Neugebauer SPECIAL LIB..IU\RIES ASSOCIATIOO' S HEART OF AMERICA CHAPTER MEETING Special Libraries Association's Heart' of America Chapter will have a meeting at noon here on campus on May 11.

Bayliss and Jane edit ed a list of ques tions tl1at .. ./ the exec board felt were important to be a s ked ill some fOrT'l. to each candidate.

Jan e Hoyt Co-secretary CLASSISIFIED CONFERENCE EXECUTIVE BOARD MEETING 2/7/90 Committee Reports A. Personnel and Staff Bevelopment - Both of these committees will soon have their first meeting of the year. B. Orientation - Film strips on book preservation have been shown to student employees . The committee is also working on an orientation program that all new employees would be eligible for. Welcoming lunches for new staff are also on the drawing board. Bayliss reported. C. Senate Library Committee - Chanette recently attended a meeting in which John Miller updated the committee on the stat is of automation at K.U. The accounting system for serials and the integration of serials into OCAT are being fine tuned. Planning is being done on "Local Area Network" which is a system that would allow several libraries on campus and several universities across the state to share the same on-line reference tools. All is dependent on budget. D. Budget and Planning - Kendall reported that the major project on hand is the compiling of an accurate list of committees and their purposes. The aim is to complete a list including all library and university committees that library staff are on. The purpose is to facilitate communication and avoid duplication of effort. Micro Computer Classes for Classisified Staff Lars reported that John Miller is trying to hire a student to teach the classes. More later Search for a new Dean of the Library The deadline for applications is Feb. 20th. There will be scheduled open meetings during which library staff can ask. questions. Redistribution of Classified Group Representatives Because of several recent library moves, some representatives are no longer working in proximity to those they represent. There is also some doubt as to how equal representation may be in terms of number of employees each repre­ sentative is accountable for. Governor's Budget Proposal:how it effects classified staff and student employees The governor proposed that the 2.5 step increase and the cost of living increase be lumped together. Brad emphasized the importance of keeping the merit increase and the cost of living increase separate so that legislators would not confuse the two. A letter will be sent out to this effect that can be used as a form letter to be sent to legislators. However, personal letters are always better. A decision has not been made as to whether to give student employees a pay raise to $3.80 per hour to match the federal min~mum wage. A state in­ stitution does not have to pay minimum wage. The governor also wants to end preferential treatment for Regents Center institutions. Th',S would mean that much more exact budget requests would need to be made to the legislature. Then, if an institution ran out of money, they could not simply ask for more funds as they have in the past.

A list of proposed meetings with library staff can be found in the March 8 issue of FYI. Lars requested that any comments about this or any proposed questions for the candidates be directed to him by March 19. Pat Wittry has contacted the staff at Robinson Center. They would be happy to make a presentation to the library staff about their various services, but we need to indicate our interest. Each staff member will receive a ques­ tionnaire regarding their interest. This has the endorsement of the Person­ nel and Staff Development committees. Channette Kirby reported on the Senate Libraries Committee meeting of Feb­ ruary 23. Dean Ranz spoke at the meeting about the impact of the new budget in terms of cuts in serials and/or books, as well as the effect of the increase in the minimum wage for student employees. Each department head at the Uni­ versity received a letter explaining the situation of cuts in the acquisi ­ tions budget. It was suggested that a committee of five distinguished profes­ sors be set up, to try to write proposals for more funding for the libraries. Ron Francisco presented the latest information on the activities of the Dean's search committee. Channette Kirby and Rob Melton led a discussion on non­ print mixed format. Action was tabled. The Personnel committee suggested to Lars that there be a separate meeting of classified employees during the interviews of candidates for Dean of Li­ braries. The need for more equipment better suited to our work tasks will be discussed with Sandy Gilliland. The Personnel committee is also inter­ ested in clarifying the responsibilities of Classified Conference group rep­ resentatives. This was discussed with the Executive Board. Rex suggested that the Personnel committee draft suggestions and distribute them to the Executive Board before the next meeting, for discussion at that meeting. An ad-hoc committee on work-related wellness issues has been formed, with Kerry Bower heading this committee. The Staff Development committee is sponsoring a tour to Parkville College. Funds for workshops (totalling $1,000) are now available through the Staff Development committee; they are in the process of developing an application form. The first in an on-going lecture series will be presented March 14 at 10:00 a.m. A schedule of the first four lectures and their speakers/sub­ jects was printed in the March ~ FYI. The Orientation committee is developing training and tours for all new staff members. They hope to begin the program in the fall of 1990. During the first two tours, all staff will be encouraged to join the tours for any area of the library they are unfamiliar with. The Orientation committee is con­ tinuing to hold informal lunches for new staff. Work on a new library Who's Who will begin later this year. MINUTES, Classified Conference Executive Board March i, 1990 Page '2 The Budget and Planning committee is revlslng the list of committees involved in some aspect of budget or planning, thanks to the response of several people to the list published in the FYI. They have also indexed their notebook. Penny Donaldson is the new member of the Budget and Planning cOmmittee, re­ placing Kent Lewis. Verna Froese reported on the proposed re-distribution of groups within the Classified Conference. Discussion will continue at the next Executive Board meeting. The question was raised about input received from staff after the interviews for the Assistant Dean. We were assured that all input was read. Rex encouraged each Executive Board member to go to the training session for E-Mail and get a password.

Hopefully everyone has had a chance to review it before this meeting. The notebook still needs a contents page and a statement of the Committee's purpose. Becky will type tabs for the notebook dividers. 3. Kendall has compiled a list of planning concerns which were gleaned from the surveys. This list will be included in the notebook. 4. Discussion followed concerning some committees not represented in the note­ book. Efforts had been made by committee members to collect the informa­ tion, documentation, etc. but unfortunately we weren't always successful. 5. Several questions were posed at the end of the previous meeting: can we provide LFA Exec with a summary of what is happening in terms of the plan­ ning process in various areas; and, do we think there are areas where planning is needed but not occuring? Barb suggested that we think about whether the Committee can follow through and complete such a summary. Discussion followed concerning the second question. Rich felt that pre­ servation was an area which required attention. Becky brought-up the ARL P~eservation Statistics Questionnaire which the Library completed last year. It was suggested that these statistics be included in the preservation section of the notebook. Nancy will provide a copy of those statistics for that purpose. Barb expressed surprise that no one brought-up salaries as an area of concern. Perhaps because salaries are considered to be the business of the salary committee. We will con­ sider adding a salary component to the notebook. 6. Rich reported on his review of the Needs Assessment Papers. Seven papers were published in series in 1975 soon after the arrival of Dean Ranz. There were several other papers in the files which looked as though they were ready to publish but apparently never were. After some discussion, the majority decided to include these documents in the planning notebook. 7. Barb will draft a title page, contents and the Committees purpose and distribute to the members of the Committee for comment. 8. Our next meeting will be held April 24 at 10:30 in Meeting Room A.

John Richardson, Secretary MUSIC LIBRARY ASSOCIATION ANNUAL MEETING February 21-24, 1990, Tucson, Arizona Pre-conference: February 20-21 This year's meeting of the Music Library Association drew over 500 music librarians and exhibito~s from the U.S. and Canada. The uniquely large attendance can in large part be attributed to the fact that for the first time in several years, MLA held the annual conference in a pleasant climate for a winter meeting (the last two meetings were in Cleveland and Minneapolis). I attended the pre-conference, "Space utilization in the Music Library: creation, renovation, reorganization." This was a very timely topic and the pre-conference was very well attended. The keynote address, by Philip D. Leighton (editor of the 2nd ed. of Keyes Metcalf Planning academic and research library buildings) stressed the importance of the role of the consultant in library planning, and brought out several questions that thoughtful library planners should consider. The remainder of the pre­ conference consisted of three plenary sessions: a panel discussion on planning; a session on coping with architects and library facility coordinators; and, a final session on other issues and questions (rate of growth, space calculations, floorloading and other weight problems, etc.). There were also several different small group sessions that attendees could participate in; I attended discussions on moving the music library collection, lighting the library (and other electrical concerns) and coping with transition between old & new spaces (acclimating users). In all, this was an extremely valuable pre­ conference, and should be helpful when it comes time to plan for the new music library. The main conference provided a wide variety of interesting topics. I especially enjoyed the session on music of the South­ west, providing a chronological outline of the history of music in the Southwest from the music of the Pueblos and Athabascan peoples of Arizona and New Mexico, to the rise of the Zarzuela in the 19th century, and finally to the popular musics of today: Mariachi and Chicken Scratch (we were treated to a wonderful concert of the latter style at the conference banquet). Other sessions of note include a progress report on the index to collected editions (anxiously awaited for by all music librarians) and a plenary session on the preservation of sound recordings, including a very thought-provoking discussion on the legal aspects of sound preservation. I very much enjoyed a field trip to the fabulous Arizona Sonora Desert Museum and the Tucson Museum of Art. I would like to thank the Staff Development Committee and Dean Jim Ranz for supporting my attendance at this conference. Susan Hitchens Music Librarian SUN MON 6 7 . 13 14 20 21 27 2B , .

On Thursday, May 10 at 10:30 a.m. Alvin Goldberg, Director of Adrninistrati ve Services, and Aurora Davis, Director of Information Services for the Kansas City Star Company, will speak about the KC Star newspaper library. They will discuss automation plans, ongoing activities in the library (such as going online) and their staffing and personnel practices. As information professionals dealing with a very fast-paced environment, their activities may be quite different from ours, but their philosophy of service and their need to have readily available information on practically every issue means they face a lot of the same challenges we do. Please join us in the Conference Rooms on 5th floor, Watson. Refreshments will be provided. All staff members are encouraged to attend.

MicM:!st Archives Conference, Spring Heeting, Chicago, May 13-15, 1990. I recently returned frem attending the MAC spring m;et:ing, which is held every year in Chicago. The MicM:!st Archives Conference is the largest regional archival association in the U.S, and includes archivists frem 12 states in the micM:!st. This was an especially interesting rreeting for rre as I was recently elected to a ~-year tenn on the }lAC Cmmcil, and attended my first cmmcil rreeting. Actually, ~ held ~ cmmcil rreetings, and a great deal of tirre was spent discussing MAC's financial future, and an invested reserves task force report. MAC finds itself in the intersesting dilemna of having a surplus of funds that it wishes to use in a way that would be of broad benefit to members. These discussions were extended to the general membership as well at the general business rreeting. I also learned that MAC is looking for a rreeting site for 1994. Interest was expressed in a Topeka/Lawrence rreeting. The organization has never rret in Kansas. The program content was good, and offered a variety of sessions. The plenary session was handled differently this year. Each year MAC presents an award to an outstanding individual(non-archivist) or organization(non-archival) that has supported the archival field in sane way. This year the award was presented at the plenary session to Vertea Downey and Shirley Hurd of Indianapolis, for their ~rk with the BlacK WalEn in the Middle West project. Following the presentation both wcmm gave presentations about their work. Program sessions that I fmmd particularly interesting included "Accessioning and Accessing Confidential Infonnation, " "No Longer a Teenager:MAC in the 1990' s" (a requisite for a council member), and "Collecting Dencminational or Other Religious Materials by Non-Religious Repositories." The last session listed included an interesting discussion of collecting conflicts and advantages when both religious and non-religious archives pursue collecting church records, etc. As ~ have actively collected church records in the Kansas Collection I fmmd this helpful, and made sane good contacts with several lJ.ltheran archivists. MicM:!st Archives Conference, Falll1eeting, Lansing, Michigan, Sept. 28-30,1989. The fall MAC rreeting was held in Lansing, Michigan. The plenary session and reception ~re held at the new Michigan library and Historical Center, which includes the State Archives, State library, and State ~fuseum. The plenary session featured John Fleckner, National M.lseum of Alrerican History, Smithsonian Institution. His address focused on the need for closer cooperation be~en tmlSeums and archives. Following the plenary session tours of the new facility were provided. I thought that the building was quite spectacular, having been built around an enonmus Michigan White Pine. The Archives had only been in their quarters a short tirre. I found it interesting that they shelved their doc1.l!reIlt cases ~ deep on 22' shelves, and at least 10 shelves high. I think this would be very difficult to ~rk with. Following the reception we were treated to a wonderful perfonnance by Candace Anderson, a folk singer, who gave an historical presentation of songs about women in Michigan's history. Her songs were written frem research conducted in archives using primary sources. I found the sessions I attended to vary in content and usefulness. One interesting session involved several archivists talking about international archival cooperative efforts, including one archivist's recent consulting trip to Russia. Other good sessions dealt with deaccessioning manuscript material frem collections, and archival security. I participated in the program at this rreeting by chairing a session on ''Docunenting the Black Experience in the MIcM:!st." Speakers included Deborah Dandridge, fran KU, and archivists frem the Indiana Historical Society, and the Bentley Historical Library, University of Michigan. Both the speakers fran Indiana and Michigan have participated in projects to collect Black History materials similar to ours. A small audience was in attendence(we were the last session of the Conference). but the exchange be~en the audience and panelists was good. I think this session was extremely benefi-aial to us, as ~ developed useful contacts with other repositories interested in collecting Black History. Society of American Archivists Annual Meeting, Saint Louis, Hissouri, Oct. 25-29, 1989. I attended SAA's 53rd armual meeting in St, Louis last fall. The program content was quite good, and I found it frustrating to attend everything I wanted to as they had a record number of sessions scheduled against each other. I attended the us,eual President's address and awards cerem:my, business meeting, and opening luncheon. The sessions I attended dealt with such topics as SM's preservation program evaluation, collecting and pramting the use of local history materials, and grant fund:ing. Three of the sessions I attended were especially applicable to YJOrk in the Kansas Collection. The first, ''Docurenting for Sainthood: The Case of Saint Philippine Duchesne" included a discussion of how the archives of a religious order were used to dccurent and aid the canonization process relating to Saint Philippine, a French nun wOO YJOrkeQ in Kansas briefly with the Potawatanie Indians. The second session ''Docunenting Social Protest Movanents" included presentations by archivists at Gallaudet University ("Seven Days that Changed the World:The 'Deaf President Now' Protest"), UC - San Diego (The Nuclear Issues Archives at UCSD") , and Harvard ("Collecting Uncensored Polish Haterials, 1976-1988'.'). This was an excellent session. The rruclear archives tal.ki!d" concerned a very ambitious collecting program established by a professor at UCSD, ~o then died, leaving the archives there unable to staff or support the amount of material that came po"ting in frem across the country. Fran discussion following the presentations the idea carne forward to establish a social protest movanents roundtable within SM. As a point of follow up an archivists frem the Tamimznt Library and I are Circulating petitions to this effect now. The third session that I found most appropriate involved a presentation by David Weinberg at the University of Pennsylvania. A group of Philadelphia area archival and manuscript catalogers have been meeting since the fall of 1987 to create a "local authority file of personsl and corporate narres, many of .. hlch have regional enphasis. The Philadelphia Authority File Cocperative(pAFC) =s organized because many of the narres represented in local collections were unpublished and not found in the Library of Congress narre aYthority file. I think that the YJOrk done in Philadelphia has a lot of applicability for other area collections. I also attended the Manuscript Repositories Section meeting ~ch included an interesting presentation about a project at Arizona State to establish a data base of manuscript materials privately owned. Also during this meeting Deborah Dandridge and I attended a lunch meeting with archivists fran the Schcmberg Center, and the Bentley Historical Library to discuss the Schomberg's project to survey and collect Black church records nation-wide. This meeting was an out growth of our Black History session at the MAC fall meeting. ,I appreciate the support given me by the Staff Development Committee to attend ctJese meetings. I recently attended Depository Library Council, held in Scottsdale, Arizona, April 25-17, 1990. I left Kansas expecting not only a stimulating conference but also a chance to abosrb some southwestern culture, food and, of course, sun. I left Kansas on a warm, sunny day and landed in Phoenix to rain and cold (thought the plane had made a wrong turn and landed in Wichita). Fortunately, the rain and cold were brief aberrations and the remainder of the conference was sunny and hot (but it's a dry heat as the natives were to remind us). Needless to say, much business was conducted poolside. The new Public Printer, Robert W. Houk, was present and addressed the conference attendees as well as attending a social sponsored by the Arizona State Library. Mr. Houk seems intent on incorporating new technologies to the Government Printing Office and is will to listen to the concerns of and work with depository librarians. As he has no ambitions to further his political career, I am encouraged by his willingness to work closely with depository librarians. Mr. Houk understands that GPO is at a crucial juncture with regard to its publishing and information dissemination operations. He wants to bring GPO back to its position as a leader in the publishing/information dissemination field and has, at least for now, the full support of depository librarians. The majority of presentations, either by GPO staff or invited speakers focused on cataloguing or processing government publications for an online environment. These presentations were informative and will be useful when KU bring's our collection online. The most frustrating aspect of the conference, aside from spending altogether too much time indoors, was the unwillingness of my colleagues as well as Council, in addressing a very important issue facing depository libraries. There are several pieces of legislation before Congress exploring cost-sharing activities, with the burden of these activities falling on the shoulders of depository libraries. Many at the conference choose to ignore this issue, and Council, unable to reach a concensus, failed to make either a recommendation to the Public Printer or enter any statement into the public record. While other issues were discussed at length (and ad nauseam), the issue of cost-sharing never reached the level of discussion approrpiate for this important issue. I want to thank the Staff Development Committee for their continued support of my professional activities.
