Biennial Report
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS LIBRARY
1938-'40

I hereby present my biennial report as director of libraries for the biennium 1938-40:
UNIVERSITY BOOK HOLDINGS ON JULY 1, 1940

 

 

 

At Lawrence 303,365
At Medical School (bound) 16,717
Total volumes 320,082
This represents an increase of 19,706 volumes since my last report.
SERVICE

Circulation statistics show only a fraction of the service that a library
renders its patrons, but as they represent about the only phase that can be
expressed in figures they are at least useful in indicating the use made of the
library.

; 1932-33 1935-36 1937-38 1938-39 __-1939-’40
Books issued at Watson Library 292,846 297,671 315,090 322,796 +=. 317,548
4 These figures represent serious reading, as the library does not buy current
ction.

 

 

 

PREPARATION
1937-38 1938-39 ©=—-19 39-40
Book Titles Ordered 4,169 4,980 4,214
Titles Cataloged 3,988 4,166 4,269
Volumes Cataloged and Marked —-__-__ 12,964 14,077 12,896
Catalog Cards Prepated 2 sae aa 33,147 35,700

SHELF SPACE

The library must have more shelf space for its books. Without this relief it is
rapidly heading into a chaotic condition that no amount of administrative skill can
avert. Books without shelves can neither be preserved nor found when wanted. The
Watson Library book stack, which was inadequate to shelve the book collection
when it was built fourteen years ago, has a capacity of 121,000 volumes. Shelving
in the reading rooms, emergency stacks set in the middle of corridors, and the new
storage room have raised the capacity of the whole building to 255,000 volumes.

THE PROBLEM

 

 

 

Cataloged books on campus 303,365
Stock of Science Bulletins, Cataloges, duplicates ttt. _ 15,000

Total to be shelved ———— 318,365
Shelving capacity of the campus 302,000
Books without shelves 16,365

 

SHELVING CAPACITY
Watson Library:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Stack 120,000
Room and corridor shelving 55,000
Storage room 80,000
—— = 255,000
Branches capacity 47,000
Total capacity 302,000
Total books on campus 318,365
Books without shelves 16,365

Annual increase in books 10,000
The surplus books are being handled in various ways:

1. Placed on temporary shelves in public corridors, exposed to theft.
2. Turned down in stacks to enable more shelves to be placed in a case.

3. Placed in the subbasement where the books are deteriorating from damp and
mould.

4. Placed in cartons and stored in the attic and rendered not available to the
public.

5. Shelved in one of the staff toilet rooms.
6. All unnecessary duplicates have been eliminated.

This overcrowding of the book collection produces the following bad results:

1. As over 88,000 volumes are shelved out of their regular order, from the sub-
basement to the attic, the service to the public is slowing up each year.

2. Valuable books are exposed to destruction by mould, mutilation, and theft.

3. In its present crowded condition it is impossible for the Library to attract the
gifts or the bequests of the valuable collections of books that now exist in this area.
It cannot promise any prospective donor that his gift will be given decent, not to say
dignified, treatment. This is a very important point to a university library, for most
libraries of this type depend on collectors and rich donors for their outstanding
treasures.

4. The Library’s book appropriation should be increased to bring the Univer-
sity’s collection in line with those of other universities in this area, but it is useless
to do so until there is assurance that the books can be made available.

5. The overcrowded condition of the Library is being made worse at the rate of
10,000 volumes per year. Without stack relief no administrative skill can prevent
the condition becoming more chaotic.

Books without shelves cannot be preserved or found when wanted.

STORAGE ROOM

During the year er Ll a room was excavated under the basement reading
room. The presence of five pier footings, eight feet square, greatly reduces the
actual storage capacity of the space. Careful planning provides storage space for
about 80,000 volumes. The room should be used only for books rarely needed, as
its center is 75 feet distant from the elevator. The danger from damp and mould to
books stored here is still to be determined.

This storage space will be taken up within a year with the library’s surplus books
and newspaper files, plus the little-used sets that will be brought in to give shelf
space to the crowded departmental libraries. This storage room, while a welcome
addition, does not attempt to solve the stack problem of Watson Library. Active
books to be effective must be shelved in stacks where they are readily accessible to
students. An addition to the stacks, continuing the floor levels is the only solution.

REMEDY

The director of libraries urges that the library stack at the rear of Watson Library
be extended 70 feet to the west in conformity with the original building plans and
that this structure (70 feet by 50 feet) be filled to half its capacity with steel stacks.
This will provide at once additional shelf space for 210,000 volumes and, as this
fills, stacks can be added to bring the capacity up to 420,000 volumes. This con-
struction, which will extend the present stack floors, is the only way in which the
active book collection can be made readily accessible to the students.

The rough plan for this extension was approved by the state architect in 1932.
The construction cost for the outer walls, footings, and one half the steel stack
should be estimated at $160,000.

TRAINED STAFF

Next to more stack space, the library needs more trained librarians on its staff.
By trained librarian I mean a person with an A.B. degree and at least one year of
graduate training in an accredited library school. Such a trained person brings to
his task a comparative knowledge of library methods which he can apply to local
needs. Besides this, he can give a much higher grade of assistance to the students
and faculty members. Not only with the other University libraries, but with those
of other Kansas colleges, this library makes a poor showing in this respect. Two
state colleges have staffs 100 percent and go percent trained. That of the University
is only so percent trained.

It is only reasonable that, serving over 400 graduate students, the staff of the
University library should be expected to furnish more exacting service in reference,
bibliography, and cataloging than is the case in the other institutions. I recom-
mend that all vacancies in the regular staff be filled with trained librarians.

SALARIES

The median salary of this University library staff is still $1,200 for eleven months
service. This is several hundred dollars below the median of the library staffs of the
other Kansas state institutions. It would seem that a university that emphasized
professional training should be willing to reward it with an adequate salary.

STUDENT ASSISTANTS

A comparison of college and university libraries shows that while the average
tatio is 1,000 hours of student help to every full-time staff member, the University
of Kansas employs 2,200 hours of student labor to each staff member, the largest
amount, so far as can be ascertained, for any library in the country. This simply
means that far too much of our staff time that should be devoted to technical work
is spent supervising untrained, ever-changing student help that works when class
schedules permit. As soon as possible part of the student assistant hours should be
replaced by full-time staff members. A much greater library efficiency would result.

MORE STAFF

An assistant director is needed to relieve the director of the administrative
detail and to give much needed supervision over the seven branch libraries. With
the present duties it is physically impossible for the director to give adequate atten-
tion to the major problems of the library.

Another trained cataloger should be added to the staff to reduce the time re-
quired to send books through the preparation room.

If it is decided to offer a course in library methods this new cataloger might
possibly devote part time to teaching. It should be noted, however, that people
competent to teach library courses command high salaries.

The Engineering and the Geology Libraries need full-time trained librarians at
adequate salaries to insure continuity of management in place of the present rapid
turnover.
N.Y.A.,

During the biennium the library has had an average of eleven N.Y.A. students
engaged on special projects. I am glad to report that all these recipients of this gov-
ernment aid were industrious, eager to work, and in all cases highly satisfactory. ‘The
presence of these extra students added greatly to the supervisory duties of the regular
staff, and as each N.Y.A. helper could labor only a few hours a week, there could be
little continuity to their work.

BINDERY REPAIR DEPARTMENT

 

 

 

 

 

 

1938-'39 1939-40

Volumes bound 2,23 2,302
Volumes repaired : 763 402
Volumes in pamphlet Binders us 1,543 1,961
Total 4,542 4,665

This department enables the library to bind its most important periodicals as
soon as a volume is completed, thus reducing the danger of losing parts that are very
difficult and expensive to replace.

INTERLIBRARY LOANS
1930-31 1935-36 1937-38 1938-39 1939-40
Bours borrowed 2.0 496 309 502 625
Books loaned: on ar 328 411 456 372 463

 

 

 

 

POUR a i. 4600 907 765 874 1,088

Other libraries have found that the administration of interlibrary loans is their
most expensive function. Over one-third of the reference librarian’s time is spent on
this work. So lacking are scholars in bibliographical accuracy that the library has
found it necessary to recheck all local requests, both as to author and title, before
they are sent out.

STAFF CHANGES
I have to report the resignations of William Ege, Ruth Schweickart, Louise
Voth, Samuel Sass, Lauretta M. Schmitt, all of whom served this library for several
years. The death of Clara Gillham, for forty-five years a member of the staff must
be recorded.

In conclusion, I desire to acknowledge the loyal support I have received both
from the regular staff and the student assistants.
Respectfully submitted,
CHARLES M. BAKER, Director of Libraries.

In “Streamline Tennis’ Miss Browne has drawn upon
her wide experience as player and instructor. Turning
aside from the outmoded method of calling attention to
the faults of the beginner, she blazes a trail of directness
to the goal of perfection. Her methods are positive, not
negative. The academic methods of grip and stroke are
presented in simplified form, as also employment of the
variations of each in competition, while the chapters on
stroking present some of the best explanatory diagrams
that have as yet come from any player. Incidentally, and
contrary to general opinion, Miss Browne believes that
women are capable of successfully playing the net game,
citing instances of where it has won for leading players,
not to mention herself. Rich and fresh in its treatment of
tennis strokes and tactics, Miss Browne has provided a
volume that should also serve as an excellent textbook for
teachers, particularly the closing chapter, “101 Questions
and Answers,” which contains many gems of information
on play and technique. Profusely illustrated.
