To the Members of the University Senates

Your Committee on the Library submits the following report forthe year ending June 30, 1959. Among the year's notable developments werea marked increase In the use of the Library, important additions to resourcesfor study and research, and substantial progress toward the improvement ofphysical facilities, These and other library activities are discussed inmore detail below,

GROWTH OF LIBRARY

At the end of the fiscal year, June 30, 1959, the Library held2,980,954 fully cataloged volumes in Urbana, and 228,470 in the two Chicagodivisions, altogether 3,209,404 volumes, or a net increase of 83,522 overthe previous year. The total cost of materials purchased on the threecampuses was approximately $540,000, to which should be added extensivecollections of books, journals, pamphlets, maps, music scores, manuscripts,and other items received by gift and exchange. Following are descriptionsof some of the most noteworthy groups of books and related ma+erials acquiredduring the year,

Medieval Studies

Appointment of Professor Robert A. Pratt to the English facultystimulated renewed interest In the field of medieval studies. The basicdocuments for this pre-printing era are manuscripts. With assistance fromthe University Research Board, eight such manuscripts were purchased, includ-Ings a thirteenth-century manuscript of Peter Riga's Aurora, a sort ofversified Bible, Immensely popular and Influential in the late Middle Ages;a portion of the Graeclsmus of Eberhard of Bethune, one of the standardschool books of the period; a fourteenth-century Italian monastic manuscriptof the Dialogues of Gregory the Great; a fifteenth-century copy of theBiblical commentary of Nicolaus de Lyra; the Pass ionale, a fifteenth-centurycopy of a thirteenth-century collection of legends of the saints and re-lated matters; a school text written by the thirteenth-century authorAlexandre de Villedieu; a fifteenth-century copy of the Facta et DictaMemorabilia of Valerius Maximus, a popular digest of memorable deeds andsayings; and a fourteenth-century French manuscript, Ordo ad Consecrandumet Coronandum Regem et Reginam Franciae, used for the consecration andcoronation of a med ieval ruler and his queene

The manuscripts were complemented by the addition of a number ofearly-printed books of medieval interest, such ass Peter Comester'sHlstoria Scholastica (Augsburg, 1)473), a popular and important paraphrase

a popular cosmographical textbook of the Middle Ages,

Incunabula

Other substantial additions were also made to the Libraryts holdingsin the field of early printing. The year's acquisitions included 119 incu-nabula, increasing the total collection of works printed before 1501 to826. The oldest titles acquired during the year were Joannes Gerson's DePollutione Nocturna and De Cognitione Castitatis (Cologne, Ulrich Zell,1.67)o Of particular interest, too, were the only fifteenth-century editionof Cicero's Opera (Milan, 1498-99); the editio princeps of Quintilian'sInstitutiones Oratoriae (Venice, Nicolaus Jenson,- 171i); Joannes Crastonus'Lexicon Graeco-Latinum (c. 1478), the first edition of the first Greek-Latinvocabulary to be printed; the editio princeps of the Chronicon of EuseblusPamphill (Mi Ian, c.147i4-7 6 ), cal led by George Sarton the greatest chrono-logical work of ancient times; and three fifteenth-century printings ofThomas Aquinas' works, to add to the Library's impressive Aquinas collection,

English Literature

To support Professor Harris Fletcher's researches for the third vol-"ume of his Milton biography, a number of early and rare books were acquired,again with aid from the Research Board, notably the Speculum Christiani(London, c.1486), one of the most popular religious works written in thefourteenth century, and one of the earliest printed books to contain Englishverse; and a number of works enriching the Library's outstanding collectionof dictionaries, grammars, and schoolbooks of the fifteenth and sixteenthcenturies. Among them were the excessively rare (only one other copy re-corded) of the second edition of Lily and Cole's A Short Introduction ofGrammar (Paris, 1557), designated the national Latin grammar by Edward VTIn 1548; John Palsgrave's Lesclarcissement de la Langue Francoyse (London,1530), the first edition of the great work on the French language andgrammar, forming the basis for all such later works; Jacques LeF~vre'sGrammatographia ad Prompte Citoque Discendam Grammaticen (1529), contain-Ing probably the earliest Latin-French word list known; and two elementarytextbooks: Theophilus Golius t Educationis Puerilis Linguae Graecae ParsPrima c-Alt era pro Schola Arge'ntinensiand Elementale Linguae Graecae,both printed in 1559 Also of sixteenth-century iinterestis the onlyknown perfect copy of A Very Frutefull and Pleasant Boke Called the In-struction of a Christen Woman, by Juan LuTs T ives (London, Thomas Berthelet,c.1531). Directly relating to John Milton is a Latin translation, believedto have been made by Milton, of Oliver Cromwell's Declaration of His High-ness,,.Against Spain (London, 1655).

For the eighteenth century, a collection of unusual significancewas thirty-five titles printed in Ireland, including such rarities as thetwo parts of Traulus, Swift's satire against the foolish Irish peer, LordAllen; a prose defense of Swift's The Lady's Dressing Room; Thomas Sheridan'sA New Simile for the Ladies; and the first Dubl n edition of Pope's Essa

on Man, Of the thirty-five pieces, thirteen are not represented In theBriTTsh Museum in any edition,

A total of 6144 volumes were added to the Library's collection ofnineteenth-century English literature, hicluding a first edition of EmilyBront~'s Wuthering Heights (London, 1847), Supplementing the Library'sextensive records relating to British publishing of the nineteenth andtwentieth centuries, seven large account books and two scrapbooks wereadded to the Grant Richards archives, Also acquired were the archives ofH. T. Buckle, nineteenth-century English historian, consisting of ninemanuscript volumes of common-place books, notes and letters,

Other Fields of Literature

The Library's holdings In Spanish Renaissance literature are groW-ing in importance. Editions of .significance for two major Renaissancefigures were obtained: Antonio de Guevara's Obras (1539) and poems ofGarcilaso de la Vega, contained in the 1543 Obras of Juan Boscan AlmogiveirAlso of interest are the eleven-volume edition of the Obras (1791-94) 6fFrancisco Gomez de Quevedo y Villegas, a leading WriteT -iTn al I branches o'fliterature during the first half of the seventeenth century; and all foureditions published during his lifetime of the seventeenth-century poet, Juande Tassis y Peralta, Conde de Villamediana,

Upon recommendation of Professor Marvin Herrick, a group of thirty-four titles were added to the Library's expanding collection of sixteenth-century Italian Renaissance plays.

For the Marcel Proust collection, upon redommendation of ProfessorPhilip Kolb, ten carefully selected and as yet unpublished Proust letterswere procured from various French dealers,

Americana

In the field of Midwest Americana, two works are worthy of specialmention: Le Clercq's Premier Etablissement de la Foy dans la NouvelleFrance (Paris, 1691), a two-volume history of L a'sale-s voyages and fheRecollect (Franciscan) missions, an important addition to the Library'simpressive collection of the early narratives of exploration; and GeorgeCatlin's North American Indian Portfolio (London, c,18i5), a series ofcolored lithograph plates by the famous nineteenth-century Americanportrayer of Indian life.

History of Science

The Library's increasingly significant holdings relating to thehistory of science continued to grow. Noteworthy are the following titles;(I) A complete set of the seven numbers of the Philosophical Collections(London, 1682-97), one of the rarest of Robert Hooke's publications, issuedto fill a gap in the Royal Society of London's Philosophical Transactions,and containing the first notice of a number of important discoveries; (2)Johannes Kepler's Harmonices Mundi (Linz, 1619), considered by Kepler to

4-4

be his greatest work; (3) Tycho Brahe's Epistolarum Astronomicarum Libri(Frankfurt, 1610), containing Brahe's learned correspondence on astronomy;

(h) the final Dutch collected edition (Leyden, 1686-1718) of all Anton vanLeeuwenhoek's published letters, recording and describing his diverseobservations; (5) the rare second edition of Descartes Discours de la

M6thode (Paris, 1658); (6) Von Kraft und Tugent des Edlenn und BewartenKramwith Oeles (c.1550), a treaTTon-The properties and uses of certainoils, including the earliest printed appearance of the word "petroleum"l(7) Konrad Gesner's A New Booke of Destilatyon of Waters (London, 1565)a record of the chemTstry known to Gesner, great naturalist and bibliographerl(8) the six-volume Opera Omnia of Pierre Gassendi (Lyons, 1658), the col-lected edition of all the published works of one of the key figures in thedevelopment of modern science; (9) Edward Jenner's An Inquiry into theCauses and Effects of the Variolae Vaccinae (London, 179), the first editionof an epoch-mak ng work announcing the discovery that inoculation with cow-pox confers immunity to smallpox; and (10) Fauna Boreali-Americana; or, TheZoology of the Northern Parts of British America, by Sir John Ricchardsonand otheFrs (TLondon, 829-37) an important nineteenth-century zoologicalwork,

Russian Studies

The area of Russian studies was designated during the year as a newfield for extensive development, as interest in it grew and specialists wereappointed to the University faculty, Acquisition of materials, however,offered unusual difficulties; out-of-print publications are virtually un-procurable through the book trade, and current materials can be acquiredmost effectively by exchange with Russian libraries. In a visit to Russiaearly in the year, Professor Ralph T. Fisher was able to purchase severalhundred useful volumes, among them a number of major historical sourcesissued prior to the Revolution: Chteniia (Papers or Readings), Moscow,1846-1918, a publicaflon of the Imperial Society of History and RussianAntiquitles of the University of Moscow.(partlal set); Drevnja.o jNova a Rossifa (Old and New Russia), St. Petersburg, 1875-81; andEntslklopedicheskiY Slovar', St, Petersburg, 1890-1907, .86 volumes, acomplete set of the standard Russian encyclopedia.

Gifts

The University of Illinois Foundation's substantial aid toward theenrichment of library resources included a $9,000 payment for the HollanderCollection, described in last year's report, and a fourth payment of $6,000for the Carl Sandburg Library,

Ernest Ingold of San Francisco, class of 1909, continued to addto the Ernest Ingold Shakespeare Collection, selecting titles from Englishbookdealers' catalogs and bidding at auction in San Francisco, procuring atotal of fifty-eight volumes during the year,

Gifts from faculty members, students, alumni, and friends of theUniversity were numerous, These are noted in an appendix to the presentreport,

Exchanges

At the end of the report year, the Library had exchange arrangementswith , 136 institutions and organizations in the United States and foreigncountries, A total of 33,237 copies of University of Illinois publications,produced by the Press, the Experiment Stations, and other University divisions,were sent to academies, societies, museums, observatories, universities, andother types of institutions in exchange for their publications.

The arrangement of new exchanges and expansion of existing exchangerelations resulted in the acquisition of new publications in many fieldsof interest, An important exchange was completed with the Vatican Library,whereby a number of outstanding publications were received. Among foreignserial titles for which exchanges were arranged are: Egyptian Journal ofBotany, Egyptian Journal of Chemistry, Egyptan Journal of Geology, andaEgyptian Review of Science, all from the National Research Centre in CairbOpuscula Zoologica and Vertffentlichungen der Zoologlschen Staatssammlungfrom the Bayerische Staatsbibliothek, Munic Trudy_ nhstituta Zoologifrom the Akademlia Nauk Kazakhskoi SSR, Alma-Ata; Sovetskal GeologilT and

Numerous other journals and monographic series were also receivedon exchange from foreign and American sources.

Farmington Plan

The Library continued its active participation in the 'FarmingtonPlan," a cooperative project sponsored by the Association of ResearchLibraries for the acquisition by American libraries of all books of re-search value published abroad. Among the important subject fields assignedto Illinois are French literature and 'language, Italian language, Spanishliterature, and certain branches of engineering. The year's receipts atIllinois numbered 2,228 items. Total receipts by the Library since theFarmington Plan was inaugurated in 1948 have been 21,618 volumes.

PREPARATION OF MATERIALS

The technical departments of the Library, i.e., the Acquisition,Catalog, and Serials Departments, and their divisions, such as Binding andPhotographic Reproduction, are responsible for the procurement, organization,and preparation for use of all types of library materials. A summary oftheir activities for the year follows.

Acquisition Department

Much of the work of the Acquisition Department has been reportedIn preceding sections under GROWTH OF THE LIBRARY, Total additions tothe Library passing through the Department in the course of the yearnumbered 58,194 Items, consisting of 40,747 volumes, 4,860 music scores,6,502 maps, 5,578 photographic reproductions, 114 manuscripts, and 393 soundrecordings. Of the total, l44,184 pieces were acquired by purchase and 14,010by gift pr exchange,

A division of Acquisitions, Documents,responsible for procuring.state, federal, ,and - International documents, maintained a total of 13,576serial checking records, including 3,140 periodicals and 7,,462 differentserials (yearbooks, etc.). The division also added 2,171 separate documentsto the Library's collections. Not included in the foregoing figures were6,542 processed United Nations documents, forwarded to the History andPolitical Science Library, and 2,368 maps, sent to the Map and GeographyLibrary, Comparative figures show a steady increase in the volume ofdocumentary publications received by the Library in recent years.

The Photographic Reproduction Division, another section, continuedits program of microfilming Illinois local newspapers, reproducing duringthe year the following: Champaign County Herald, 1878-98; Tuscola Journal1942-541 Urbana Weekly Courier and Hera, 189 910; Urbana ai 'yCourier,1902-1O; O alesburg Ill ni, 196 ; and •attoon Daily Journal Gazette, 1943-58.Because of the increased use of microfilm copies for interlibrary loans,demands upon the Division's services increased. In its various operations,the Division made 141,130 microfilm exposures, 8,575 enlargement prints,32,380 multilith reproductions, and I,154 Xerox and Thermofax copies.

Catalog Department

Combined statistics for non-serial publications processed by theCatalog Department and serial publications cataloged by the Serials Depart-ment show that the two departments cataloged 33,701 new titles, representing82,927 books and pamphlets, 1,770 music scores and parts, 3,518 microfilms,1,262 microcards, 5,700 maps and aerial photographs, 261 manuscripts, and4;4 sound recordings. Cards added to the general library catalog totaled138,532, an increase of nearly twenty-seven percent over the previous year.

To the cqtalogs serving the various departmental libraries and reading rooms,118,808 Pards were added, These special locations received 26,493 catalogedbooks and pamphlets, in addition to many non-book items, such as films andrecordings.

The Catalog Department also furnished the Library of Congress withcopy for 1,002 publications, in accordance with a long-standing cooperativeagreement whereby this Library supplies catalog entries for certain specifiedworks. With the cooperation of the University of Illinois Press, the De-partment also participated in an experimental project of the Library ofCongress, "Cataloging in Source," designed to determine the feasibility ofcataloging books from page proof, in order that the information ordinarilyappearing on catalog cards might be printed in the books themselves, andthus substantially speed up the cataloging process.

The Department's Binding Division processed 24,721 books andpamphlets bound commercially, The Marking and Repair Section repaired2,257 volumes, bound 5,352 pamphlets, mounted 139 maps, and marked or re-marked 83,627 books and pamphlets. In anticipation of bidding on the 1959-61 biennial binding contract, binding specifications were extensivelyrevised and simplified. The seven sets of specifications used heretoforewere reduced in number to four: Class A, binding without collating, uniformbinding, and specifications for lesser-used materials,

SeriaIs Department

The Serials Department catalogers added 40,599 new items to theLibrary's organized collections. In addition, they cataloged 2,727 serialtitles, prepared entries for 2,868 analytical titles published in numberedseries, and recataloged and reclassified 1,952 serial titles. The Libraryreceived currently 1,140 different serial titles, plus2,752 duplicatesubscriptions. Included in these figures are periodicals received throughthe Documents Division, Some 800 new periodical titles were added to theLibrary during the year. Continuation titles (i.e., serials issued lessthan three times a year) received totaled 22,293 different titles, representedby 28,131 copies. In addition, the Library received currently 595 newspapers,Including sixty microfilm editions.

Substantial progress was made toward completion of an undertakingstarted in 1955, a central record for all serial publications. The centralfile now records 15,225 currently-received titles, As centralized informationhas become increasingly available, there has been a corresponding growth inthe service to library users provided by the Serials Department staff.

USE OF THE LIBRARY

The year's total recorded use of books on the Urbana campus exceededthe million mark for the first time since 1950-51. Circulation figures of1,023,621 represent an increase of 45,059 over recorded use for the previousyear--an increase that can be accounted for only in part by increased enroll-ment, It appears to be a continuation of the trend noted In last year'sreport, perhaps reflecting an Intensification of student application andchanges in teaching methods, A significant aspect of the increase is thatit occurred principally in student general circulation rather than in reservebook circulation, I.e,, required reading. Circulation to the faculty rosefrom 78,541 to 82,941,

All except seven of the Library's thirty-two public service unitsshowed substantial growth in use, Large increases were noted in Classics(75 percent), Agriculture (30 percent), University High (25 percent), andmany units reported increases of at least ten percent,

Circulation figures, however, Indicate only a part of the servicesactually performed by the Library, since much use is through direct consul-tation of materials in open-shelf collections and through informationaland research assistance provided In person, by telephone, or by correspondenceIn all the public service departments,

Reference Work

All of the public service departments are constantly called uponfor assistance of a reference nature, These services require a large amountof staff time In most units, and are often invaluable to those who receivethem,

For example, the Architecture Library prepared forty bibliographiesfor classes during the year, The Rare Book Room listed the Library's hold-ings of fifteenth-century books for the forthcoming third edition ofIncunabula In American Libraries, and supplied extensive addenda for thenew edit-ion of the short-Title ataloguel... 475-1640. The Reference Depart-ment compiled indexes for several serials lacking adequate Indexes, andsubject bibliographies on topics too new to be readily accessible throughprinted sources. The Undergraduate Library maintained short story andcriticism Indexes, and regularly prepared other bibliographies designedespecially for undergraduate users, Veterinary Medicine scanned all incom-ing periodicals for articles to be recorded and maintained a special filecovering about forty subjects, The Reference Department reported a steadygrowth in reference inquiries of various types, National and internationalpublicity concerning the Library's holdings of manuscripts and special col-lections accounted for a large proportion of requests for assistance by 250correspondents,

Hours of Openin

The schedules of the thirty-two public service divisions vary fromthirty-eight hours per week in the Newspaper Library to ninety-two hoursIn the Chemistry Library, There is constant pressure to extend hours ofopening. During the year, the Commerce and Sociology Library added ninehours to its schedule through weekend openings, Eight hours were added Inthe Education, Philosophy, and Psychology Library.by remaining open from$ to 7 PM,, Monday through Thursdays and the Law Library added five hoursby remaining open until II P.M., Monday through Friday,

Additional trials of extended opening hours were also made, Beginninglate in the fall semester, the Undergraduate Library, the Reference Room, andthe main library bookstacks were opened an extra hour, 10 to II o'clock,Sunday evening, on a "study hall" basis, Because of the favorable response,the added time for these divisions has been made permanent, During thelast four weeks of the spring term, the 10 to II schedule was extended toother nights of the week, The recorded attendance, however, would notappear to warrant continuation of the extra weekday hours into 1959-60,

Extension of Services

Orientation tours, lectures, organized courses, exhibits, displays,new book lists, periodical lists, and printed guides are the principalmethods employed by the public service departments to make the Library andits resources better known and more widely used,

The Undergraduate Library and the Reference Department jointlyconducted eighty-seven Instructional tours,attended by 1,637 students,In addition, the Undergraduate Library provided tours for all sections inVerbal Communications; the Library School Library conducted twelve orien-tation lectures; the Map Library gave ten one-hour classroom presentations;and the Law Library, University High, and Veterinary Medicine Libraryarranged orientation programs for all entering students, A number of 11-brarians gave single lectures in specific courses, It is the practice inmost of the departmental libraries, also, to send special notices to facultymembers informing them about books and articles of potential interest, andto orient new faculty members into the Library's resources and services,

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

Sixteen departmental libraries published regular acquisition listsfor their users. New editions of the undergraduate handbook, Know YourLibrary, and of the Handbook for Graduate Students and Members of the Facultywere issued early In the year. Revised departmentaT guides were reportedby Agriculture, Education, and the Map and Geography Libraries,

Quarters ard Equipment

A major event in the growth of the Library during the past year wasthe completion of the seventh addition to the building, adding a half-millionvolumes to the capacity of the bookstack, Construction was finished inNovember and subsequently about two million volumes were shifted and re-arranged. Included in the new unit are ninety-nine study carrels,

New or expanded quarters in other areas were under construction.The new Biology Library was scheduled to be occupied in the summer of 1959,and the new Physics Library was expected to be ready for use by the beginningof the fall semester, Construction of expanded space for the Music Librarybegan and was also to be completed by the fall of 1959, Additional spacewas assigned to the Map and Geography Library to relieve overcrowded conditions.A more convenient arrangement of materials and more shelf space in the Edu-cation Library provided a better atmosphere for study there,

MEDICAL LIBRARY

The Library of Medical Sciences added 4,469 volumes during the yearto increase its total holdings to 137,113 volumes, a growth of 35,000volumes in the last decade, Of major importance in a medical collection arethe journals; the Library currently received 1,500 serial titles, includingeighty-one new subscriptions. The transfer of the Chicago division of theSchool of ~ocial Work to the Professional Colleges campus required expansionof the Library's resources, both of books and journals, in that field,

-10-

Though emphasis was placed on the current teaching and researchneeds of the Professional Colleges, a number of rare and unusual books wereobtained, chiefly through endowed funds. Noteworthy is Franz Anton MesmertsPr6cis Historlque des Faits Relatlfs au Magn6tisme-Animal Jusques en Avrll1781 (London, i'iiTefrom the Heertzler Fund. Three titles dealing wiTh4the World War II history of armed forces medical departments in severaltountries were acquired from the Allen Memorial Fund, Gifts in memory ofDr, Channing Barrett were used to obtain materials in gynecological anatomyand surgery, Income from the William Allen Pusey Fund was expended forsubscriptions to dermatological periodicals, and the Singer Library Endow-ment Fund paid for seven titles on gastroenterology.

Subscriptions were entered for several major reference works appear-Ing in parts, all of which began publication in 1958: Sir William S. Duke-Elder's Systems of Ophthalmology (London), an exhaustive treatise to becompleted in fifteen volumes; Neoplastic Diseases at Various Sites (Edinburgh),to be in thirteen volumes; and Sachu Yamaguch• s Sytema Heim Intum (New York),to be in three volumes of several parts each,

Gifts to the Library were numerous, Dr, F. L, Lederer contributedmany texts and monographs in the field of otolaryngology, and was responsiblefor transferring older books and periodicals from the Illinois Eye and EarInfirmary, The 275-volume library on gynecology and obstetrics of Dr. H. 0OMaryan was received by bequest. The family of Dr. Lester E..Bower presentedabout 400 volumes relating to pediatrics,

The recorded use of the Library showed an over-all increase of morethan six percent, It is encouraging to note further that student use ofgeneral materials was up twenty-six percent, pointing to a growing amountof Independent work. The expanding number of research projects was reflectedin a seventeen percent increase in faculty use of the Library, Anotherindication was an increase of twenty-six percent in the number of itemsborrowed from other libraries.

Because of growing use of the Medical Library by non-Universitypersonnel, especially by the staffs of hospitals and other institutions inthe Medical Center area, a revised statement of circulation policy wasdrafted, estabiishing more uniform circulation procedures for persons notofficially connected with the University,

Numerous orientation lectures were given to students in the Collegeof Nursing, Occupational Therapy, and dieticians from Cook County Hospital,Freshmen in Pharmacy were introduced to the use of the Library during theirorientation week. As contributions to medical librarianship, students fromLebanon and India spent several days in the Library in observation andpractice works, Also, students enrolled in the Library School's course inMedical Literature and Reference Work spent a week in practice work at theLibrary and in visiting other medical libraries in Chicago,

The Library cooperated in several bibliographical projects ofimportance, Including a report on its holdings of serial publications for

the Library of Congress' New Serial Titles; a list of new periodical titlesto the Medical Library Association's"ital Notes; a record of pre-1821 U.S,medical Imprints for the National Library of MedTi.cine's Checklist of MedicalAmericana (the UI Medical Library listed 131 titles); a report on holdingsof early pharmaceutical catalogs for the Smithsonian Institution Divisionof Medical Sciences Preliminary Check List of U.S, Pharmaceutical Cataloguesof Equipment and Drug Suindries 1760"- 890; and a heck of hol-dings for anew union list, Drug Information Sources, sponsored by the Special LibrariesAssociation's Pharmaceutical Section and the American Association of Collegesof Pharmacy.

CHICAGO UNDERGRADUATE DIVISION L IBRARY

In its acquisition program, the Chicago Undergraduate Division Librarycataloged 6,155 volumes, ending the year with total holdings of 91,357 volumes.The collection was divided as follows: circulating, 72,042; reference, 7,981;and bound periodicals, 11,382, There were 804 periodicals, currently received.The collection also included 1,520 microfilm reels, 21,508 maps, 196 prints,872.sound recordings, 2,979 microcards, 9,838 microprints, and 13,534 pam-phlets.

The Library's total book circulation, 55,222,represented an increaseof over nine percent above the previous year--considerably larger than thegrowth of enrollment at the Chicago Undergraduate Division. A substantialportion of the increase in circulation was for home use of books by bothstudents and faculty. The number of reference questions was nearly a thirdhigher than for 1957-58, The use of microfilm, microcards, and microprintsgrew to such an extent as to place considerable strain on available equipment(.The new Listening Room attracted some i4,500 group listeners for musicalprograms, and in addition there were several thousand individual listenersin the Fine Arts Reading Room, and over two thousand who used the foreign-language tape-listening facilities in the Main Reading Room.

Minor, but essential, improvements were made in the Library's physicalplant. Last year, the reference and administrative areas of the Librarywere expanded into the second-floor lounge. In the year just concluded theadjacent area to the south was added, fo house government publications andprovide more reading space. Funds voted by the Student Congress were usedto convert a storage area adjoining the Fine Arts Reading Room into aListening Room, previously mentioned, where students could hear recordings.

When the Chicago Undergraduate Division Senate appointed a repre-sentative all-campus committee to study the future of the University ofIllinois in Chicago, the Library was represented on the main (structure)committee and several sub-committees. The Librarian and his professionalstaff participated in preparation of the library portion of the report, "AConcept for the University of Illinois In Chicago, Lincoln Campus." Thebasic importance of the Library in the Division's future development wasrecognized in the report,

-12-

For the Chicago Undergraduate Division's projected new campus,space figures were prepared, for the use of the University Building ProgramCommittee and the Physical Plant Department, for a library building toserve student bodies numbering 6,000, 9,000, 12,000, and 20,000. Itappears to be the general consensus that a separate library building in acentral location should be planned for the new campus from its beginning.

PERSONNEL

At the end of the report year, there were 273 library staff positions,academic and nonacademic, on the three campuses: 234 at Urbana, 14 at theProfessional Colleges, and 25 at the Chicago Undergraduate Division. Ofthe total, 1I5 are academic and 128 nonacademic positions. In addition,over 200 student assistants were regularly employed on a part-time basis.

As has been true since the early nineteen-forties, staff changeswere frequent, and suitable replacements difficult to find. The acuteshortage of professional librarians continued, and excellent positionsthroughout the country remained unfilled,

A number of major changes in personnel occurred in the course ofthe year, Leslie W. Dunlap, Associate Director for Public Service Depart-ments, became Director of the State University of Iowa Libraries, and wasreplaced by Luclen W.
