FY 78 Budget AllocaËion

The following is a summary of a letter recently sent to the UniversityLibrarian from Morton Lrreir, vice-chancellor for Academic Affairs.

The campus has now received sufficient informatÍon concerning its budgetallocation for FY 78 to make some firm decisions concerníng internal campusallocations for next year. These decisions reflect the fact that theuniversityrs allocation for FY 78 will not come close to meeting our minimumneeds and our need to reallocate funds internally to reflect the changingworkloads experienced by the various colleges.

(over)

-¿

Based upon information presently available, the budget for theUniversity of Illinois Library wíll contain a 5.0 percent increase onyour academic salary base, a 7.O percent increase on your non-academicsalary base, and a 3.0 percent increase on your expense base. Thisallocatíon does not take into account the Library salary problem that,you have described. Your allocation will include $20,000 in recurríngfunds for FY 78 and an additonal $20,000 in FY 79 to aid your effortsin solvíng this problem. In addition as far as r¡re can tell ríghË nowyou can expect to receive $250,000 to support the Library AutomationProgram in FY 78.

In your February 15, L977 Letter to me you noted that it would take anadditional $191,420 in FY 78 in order for you to maíntain your preseritpurchasing por¡rer. These funds, on a recurring basís, will be allocatedto you as a part of your FY 78 budget.

The allocation decisions I have outlined are subject to revisiondepending on a decision yet to be made about an all-out effort to obtainsalary increases at the expense of other íncreases, and on the willíngnessof the General Assembly to approve the salary package described above.Any change in these figures enacted by the General Assembly and the Governorwill probably be reflected ín your personal services allocaËion.

Housing Divísion Listing Servicee

I,rrith the approach of summer and ttre 1977-78 academic year some faculty andstaff members are planning to leave the campus and community for relativelyexpended periods. The Housing Division maintains a listing service Ëhat can behelpful to those r¿ho r¿ish to rent their homes to others during their absences.

Any member of the Líbrary staff may advertíse hís or her home for rentduring a period of absence. There ís no charge for this service; the onlyrequirement is that the o\^rner sígn a pledge form declaring that tenants orprospective tenants will not be subjected to díscrimination because of race,color, relígion, or natíonal origin.

Any faculty or staff members r¿ho wish to avail themselves of the HousingDivísionrs lísÈing service may do so by calling the Housing Information number(333-L420) or visiting the offíce (420 Student Services Building) and requesringthe nondiscrimínation pledge form. Once that form is signed and on file, theproperty ol^7ner may telephone the pertinent information about the property to theabove mentioned number or he or she may visit the office in person and completethe lísting card.

Faculty Typing

The Líbrary Office has been able to meet many of the faculËyrs needs fortyping by employíng a temporary typist from the Stenographic Bureau. The Officeurges every faculty member to bríng in materíal for typing as soonregularly as possible. hle will be forced Èo release the typist during the courseof the current week, if we do not get work for her. Every kind of typing-- reports, letters, articles, bibliographies -- will be done, and so far wehave been able to schedule Èhe work for prompt completion. It will help theOffice to plan for fuËure typíng if faculty members will 1et Deloris Holiman(3-0791) know what future typíng that they will have, and approximately whenthey wíll need the typíng done.

Candy !üilmot, Marie Mlller, Cliff Carter, Stan Rankin and Jim Corey visitedUIMC and UICC last tr{ednesday. Síte planning for LCS termínals was begun at UIMC.Nine CRT's and 5 prínters wíll be used at UIMC for LCS. Rockford and Peoriamedical- branches wil-l each get one CRT and one printer. Thus 11 CRT's and ] prlntershave been requísitloned. The group also vísited UICC but díd not begin detailsite planníng for terminals. UICC may relocate some servl-ce points and that mustbe done before site planníng can occur.

EíghÈ drawers of the shelf list have gone to l^Iarner Management, but nonehave come back yet. A great deal of Èrainíng must be given Ilarner staff beforedrawers can be processed rapíd1-y. Update procedures for converËed drawers havebeen worked out buÈ noË yeÈ Èried. Update procedures used by UIUC can also beused by UIMC and UICC if they wish.

Ideas for location of the LCS telephone center have been proposed by theCírculation Department. These ideas need to be discussed by all- involved uníts.

No work has begun yet on programs needed to buí1d the patron data base.UIMC, and UICC, as weJ-l as UIUC, will- need to investl-gate formats of theirrespectíve staff and student name and address files. l,{ork on the patron fileswíll begin as soon as daËa conversíon programs are completed.

ATKINSON

I^Ihile the budget picËure for L977-78 is not yet clear, it does appear Ëhatunits wÍl1 receive a 57" lnerease in fílled academic base salary lines as of twoweeks prÍ.or to Ëhe budget prínt-out ; a 77. íncrease ín student r,rages; 3% in theexPense account in the 00 account (but they left out the 40 account and this willneed to be checked out); and the nonacademic budget will be handled centrally asit has been handled since the ínstallatíon of the step pay p1an.

For the comíng year Èhe University will all-ow us to píck up the funds generatedby nonacadenÍc vacancies, followíng the procedure we have been folbwíng this year.

As usual, the increase ín student wage funds probably will not cover the proposedehange in the mjnÍmum wage for the coming year. Unless the increase occurs wellinto the comÍ-ng yeat, it no doubt wÍll mean that we wí11" be able to have fewerhours of student assistance at the higher rates. Mr. Atkinson indicated that de-partments which overspend studenÈ wage funds nay be in the position of havíng toleave an academic vacancy open for a long period of tíme ín order to generaÈefunds to cover the deficit.

All of this information conËains a very large "IF"--r^rith actual budgetingfor L977-78 depending on the actions of the legíslature and the governor.

GARTON,¡

Mr. Garton brought up the subject of the heavy íncrease ín the use of foodand drínk ín publíc areas in the Main Library, both by our pat,rons and by thelíbrary staff itself. The Library always has discouraged ËhÍs and has asked inthe past that library staff try not to carry beverages through the public areasand hallways. A quÍck glance at Èhe condition of floors in hallways and elevatorsmakes the reason for this obvíous. It also encourages patrons to do the same.Public service units wíll have Ëo ask pat.rons not to bring food and drínk íntoËheir areas, and it r¿ould help if patrons díd not see líbrary staff doing thesame thing.

ATKINSON

Mentíoned that he had had some complaints concerníng departmental- libraryhours duríng ínterim and vacation períods. The problem stems, no doubt, fromthe wide variety of hours of opening during these períods in varíous deparËmentallibraríes. Mr. Oram indicated that we had tried in the past for more uniformityin these hours but that qre seem to be slippíng away from uniformity agaín. Aneffort. should be made t.o make the hours conform as much as possible.

STENSTROM

Pat SÈenstrom díscussed the current interviews being held wíth candídat.esfor the position of Director of Technical Services. Those persons Ínvolved 1nthe formal interviewing process have been asked to send Pat and the Search Con-mittee some brief writ.t.en connents concerning each appllcant. At Èhe tine Ëhefínal cornments are forwarded for the last candidate, Èhe cosmittee would like tohave each of the persons gÍve a ranking of the four candidat.es. Since theSearch Comittee hopes to have a report ready for Mr. Atkinson shortly afËerl{ay 1, 1t is extremely ímporËant Ëhat those involved in the interviews getËheir cooments in Èo the conmittee as quíckly as possible.

DELZELL

Mr. Delzell suggested that members of the staff conference míght líke tolook aË an article, "The High Cost of Híring," which has appeared Ín the March15 Íssue of LIBRARY JOURNAL. The University of Georgia Library has done astudy of the híring processes for academic staff and has come up with a timelag of at, least six months from the time a job descriptíon is prepared to thetime when a ne\r employee actually starts to work. The cosÈ of each híring hasbeen estinated at an average of $11750. Many people are under the Ímpresslonthat our processes are more stringent here than ín oÈher plaees and this 1sobvíously not Èrue. I{e probably are doing the very same things that otherpl-aces are doíng and this article would indícate this is true. It becomeseven more important Èhat we start to work on prospective vacancies at theearliest possible tlme. Much can be accomplished príor to an acÈual resi-gna-tÍon íf Èhe departDent involved will contacË Mr. Delzell so that the departmenÈcan begin work on a Job descripÈíon.

The Comnittee considered nemes for the search conrnittee for the poslÈion ofAssíetant Universlty Librarlan for Research Budget Plannlng. There were no ob-Jections to the list presented by Hugh Atkinson.

The agenda for the contlnuing Faculty Meeting was briefly díscussed.

Hugh Atklnson reported Ehat lhe library had received next yearrs budget fig-ures and that completed forms are due in the University administratíon offices byMay 25. In his opiníon the líbrary will run with a substantial amounÈ of lapsedmonies from faculty vacancies again next year. Mr. Atkinson welcomes suggesÈionsfor allocation of library resources that may be gained from these lapsed salarles.It is particularly important that arrangements be considered in advance for coveringresponsíbi1lties for faculty on sabbatical leave.

The Conrnittee discussed the need for a small discretionary serialst purchasefund for the Serials and Asslstant Serials Librarians. Based on faculty ratherthaa admlnistratíve concerns, the Corunittee agreed that the shaping of instructionalresources is of lmportance to a high quallty collectíon, and that a small discretíon-ary fund is appropriate for the developmemt of the serials collection.

The Gonrnittee discussed the constitution of the Technical Services advísorycorunittee. In particular, Executíve Conrnittee members rtere concerned that (1)there is only one tenured faculty member on the Technical Services advisory com-mittee whereas 5tl o/o of the technical services members are tenured; (2) repre-sentation eppears to be departmental rather than demographical resulting in theimpresslon of the University Librarian, whose fears were allayed by Larry Miller,(3) that it ¡vould have been more in keeping with the Faculty Advisory Conrnitteerecormnendation tf the advisory cor¡nittee had been elected rather than appointed.Mr. Miller explaÍned selection procedures for the Technical departmentsladvlsory cosníttee on merft increases and reported that the faculty of the Techní-cal departments wíll be meeting to decide on the formation of a promotion andtenure advlsory co¡rmfttee before September, L977; he will convey the concernsof the Executíve Cormittee to the Technical Service departmenL heads.

The next Executíve Cor¡unittee Meeting will be on May 25 at 1O:OO a.m.

Since LCS will be on the 75 indefiniiely, it is cheaper to purchase disks and

communications equípmenÈ Èhan to rent them. The purchase request is workíng itsway through the purchasíng offíce.

UICC already has seríals data ín machíne readable form. The data are used

Èo produce a serials lísÈ. It may be possíble to translate the file from iËs

current format to LCS format. rf "o,

urCC serials would not have to be keyed

for LCS. AISS wíll investígate.

There was further díscussion of phased implemenËatíon of LCS ' LCS could be

up for searching the Shelf list by December or January. But the budget may not

allow all of the 90 terminals to úe ínstall-ed that soon. A tentative plan would

be Ëo have a few termínals by January, 1978. The Èerminals would be used a few

hours a week for searchíng, staff trainíng, and data base maínÈenance' By March

or Apríl, Lg78, more Ëerninals would be ínstalled and LCS would be up several hours

a day, possíbIy all day. In May, LCS would become ful1y operational. Furtherrefínement of a schedule dependl as much on the budget as ít does on prograrmning.
