* Guns and ButterGetting atof Government InformationWhat do guns and butter have incommon? Information on bothcommodities is available in theDocuments Library, located in thesouth end of the Main Library'sReference Room. The DocumentsLibrary opened its doors in January 1980as a division of Central ReferenceServices, headed by Prof. Paula Watson.The library's goal sounds deceptivelysimple: provide better access to andimproved reference service for thebooks and journals of the U.S.government, the world's most prolificpublisher.

University Librarian Hugh Atkinsonsees the future role of this newest ofthe UIUC Library's 38 specializedlibraries as one of growing importance:"In a world ever-increasinglydependent on governmental data, theexpansion of our documents collectionand library is important-not only tosupport research, but to provide theinformation needed for intelligentdecision-making in our day-to-daylives."

The Library has been a depository forU.S. government publications since1907. Over 40,000 titles are receivedannually through this program to makegovernment-generated informationavailable at no cost to the user. Asimilar program within Illinois providesthe Documents Library with State ofIllinois publications as well.

Documents titles were oncedispersed among departmental librariesand the Bookstacks. Since 1980, U.S.government documents have beenhoused either in the DocumentsLibrary's reference collection or in a

* separate documents section of theBookstacks. Four librarians in theDocuments Library provide specializedreference service for this important andincreasingly used collection.

The clientele served by theDocuments Library staff is broad and

I diverse, reflecting the multidisciplinarynature of the collections. Politicalscientists studying current affairs canconsult presidential statements andcongressional publications, as well asthe regulations of executive agencies.

Social scientists use the rich statisticalsources from the Census Bureau andthe Bureau of Labor Statistics. Physicaland biological scientists often come tothe Documents Library in search of theresearch reports made availablethrough the National TechnicalInformation Service (NTIS).

Librarian Richard Bopp notes thatdocuments currently in heavy demandinclude the U.S. Budget for 1985, theKissinger Commission Report onCentral America, and A Nation at Risk,the report of the National Commissionon Excellence in Education.

Besides requests for individual titles,the staff answers a large volume ofquestions relating to statistical data. Toaid in finding these data, the library hastwo important indexes. These are theAmerican Statistical Index (ASI), whichindexes federal publications onstatistics, and the SRI, or StatisticalReference Index, for state and privatesources. Because of the heavy use ofthese indexes for reference service, theDocuments Library might almost beconsidered a statistics library. Staff inother departmental libraries, aware of

the value of ASI and SRI in statisticalresearch, often refer patrons to theDocuments Library for assistance.

In addition to providing help inlocating factual matter or hard-to-findtechnical reports, documents librariansalso offer computerized databasesearching and group instruction in theefficient use of governmentpublications. In April 1982, documentslibrarians and U.S. Census Bureau staffoffered a free workshop on the 1980Censuses of Population and Housing toan audience of 75 students, faculty,staff, and public. A bulletin boardhighlighting "Documents in the News"is a new and popular feature in theDocuments Library.

Dealing with government documentsis not always easy. A growing problemfacing the Documents Library is theincreasing number of publicationsissued only in microfiche format.Department of Energy documents, NTISreports, Congressional Reports andDocuments, translations of foreignnews broadcasts and scientific papers,and private state and federal statistical

Engineering EndowmentProvides Funds for UbraryA memorial endowment to the UICollege of Engineering will give $1000to the University Library forengineering materials.

The endowment, established by thelate Alwin Schaller in honor ofProfessor George A. Goodenough,generates income to be used for thebenefit of the UI Department ofMechanical and Industrial Engineering.Among specified uses of the funds areequipment purchase and studentwelfare improvement, as well as thepurchase of "books, films, slides,microfilms, and other visual aids thatwill improve the qualilty ofinstruction."

Mr. Schaller received his degree inmechanical engineering from UI in1907. As a graduate student he servedas instructor and assistant to Prof.Goodenough, and earned a master'sdegree in 1912. Mr. Schaller died in1981 at the age of 95.

Distribution of income from theSchaller endowment is managed by adepartmental committee. Inannouncing the committee's decisionto donate funds to the EngineeringLibrary, Prof. A.M. Clausing said, "Ourcontribution...is a reflection of theimportance the Department ofMechanical and Industrial Engineeringattaches to maintaining an excellentlibrary." He further noted that theSchaller endowment is exceptionallyhelpful for its "imaginative ways ofhelping the school other than merelyestablishing scholarships."

The Schaller gift will be applied tothe purchase of the American Societyof Mechanical Engineers (ASME) 1984Technical Papers. Engineering LibrarianWilliam Mischo said that the collectionwill provide Engineering Library usersaccess to the important research inprogress which is reported at ASMEconferences and made available inpreprint format.

Director of Library Development andPublic Affairs Joan Hood noted: "Thisgift to the Library is especiallysignificant for the ideal way in which itsatisfies Mr. Schaller's intent to improvethe quality of mechanical engineeringresources here at the University. As theLibrary is a separate administrative unitat UIUC, it seeks cooperation with themany academic units it serves to sustainthe quality of the Library's resources."

The UIUC Department of Mechanicaland Industrial Engineering is ratedamong the nation's best; the Libraryranks as the third largest academiclibrary in the country.

Old Ads Find New HomeLast fall, the University of Illinois Libraryreceived an unusual gift from theadvertising agency of D'Arcy, McManus& Masius in St. Louis: 37 file cabinets,each of which has five drawers filledwith clippings of advertisements innewspapers and consumer magazinesfrom the 1890s to 1960. The collectioncovers all product categories,containing advertisements for alcohol,glassware, marshmallows, movies,pianos, welding equipment, and more.Whether printed on crumblingnewsprint or in color on glossymagazine paper, these ads arefascinating, surprising and entertaining.Of course, this collection is more thanentertaining; it will be used by scholarsin many fields for cultural, historicaland social research. Prof. Kim Rotzoll,head of the UIUC advertisingdepartment, says "This D'Arcy

collection will provide a gold mine toany student or scholar researchinghistorical trends and developments inAmerican advertising. It containsmaterial never before available."

According to Richard W. Pollay,curator of The History of AdvertisingArchives in Vancouver, Canada, this isthe only collection of its kind and sizein a public institution. Because of thevalue and age of these files, the UILibrary hopes to do more extensiveindexing and preservation of theadvertisements. The Library also looksforward to receiving the remaining filesfor the period 1960-1980. In themeantime, the collection will beavailable late this spring to seriousresearchers. The files are now beingalphabetized and itemized so thatresearchers will be able to retrieve filesby product category and brand name.

From theLibrarian's View

* Of all of the new trends and newtechnologies, those which willobviously affect libraries in the verynear future are the digitalized videodisk and the fiber optics technologies,which will no doubt be coupled with arearrangement of thetelecommunications and information

* distribution systems in the country.I With a breakup of AT&T, there willinevitably be some great dislocationsand the rethinking of how informationis distributed in this country. If thecosts of long-line distribution turn outto be cheaper than short-hauldistribution, one can assume a nationalor regional centralization of suchinformation distribution. If the reverseis true, we will see decentralization.This is a very serious matter and a verycomplex one. The request for a changein rates filed by AT&T with the FCCseveral months ago was 1,700 densepages long. The form if not theexistence of OCLC, RLG, BRS, andLEXIS hinges on the outcome.

In fact, yet another technology mayovercome at least partially some ofthese problems. Libraries will have acombination of stand-alone informationbanks using disc technology (probablydigital) with microcomputers, whichwill themselves make use ofenormously large-scale databases. Withthe combination of microcomputer anddatabase, we can dial into and use thepower of centralized information andcomputational agencies.

The prime thing to remember whentrying to plan, perform, or simply tosurvive library activities in the nextdecades is that the library's successesand their value come from meeting theneeds of our patrons. Those patrons arechanging, as are their attitudes,economic status, and needs. When ourpatrons change, then we, too, mustchange. I am sure that our patrons willcontinue to want fast, accurate andhumane responses from the library. Thequestions they ask, the medium of ourresponse, and the services and materialsdemanded may change, but therequirements for intellectual activity,commitment to quality and the

* recognition of human values will not.

Did You Know...?The Map and Geography Library at theUniversity of Illinois recently completeda count of its holdings and reports thatit has 325,208 maps and charts-notcounting books-in its collections.

Documents Library-from page 1

publications all represent important andcontinuing series published inmicrofiche. To deal with thesehundreds of thousands of fiche, theDocuments Library has only twomicrofiche readers, neither of whichhas copying capabilities, and aninadequate number of microfichecabinets. This means that the alreadyawkward format of microfiche is mademore difficult for patrons to useefficiently, and harder for the Library tostore properly.

Prof. Watson says that a privatedonation to purchase a microfichereader-printer and/or storage cabinetswould be a major contribution toimproved service. Reader-printers,which allow researchers to make apaper copy of material examined on amicrofiche reader, are expensive; atabout $4,000, the library cannotpresently afford to buy this much-needed equipment. The storagecabinets themselves cost $450 each.

In spite of these growing pains, theDocuments Library has seen a steadyincrease in business over its four-yearexistence. The enormous value toresearchers, administrators, students,and the general public of informationcontained in federal and Illinoisdocuments assures a continued rewardfor efforts to make this materialavailable and easily usable.

Government publications areaccessible to the public in theDocuments Library and in theBookstacks during all hours the Libraryis open. Documents librarians areavailable to provide assistance in theuse of documents between 8:00 a.m.and 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday.

Float Honors Friendsat Rose Bowl ParadeOf course Illinois went to the RoseBowl this year. And the Friends held aspecial place of honor in Pasadena, too.

The theme of the 95th Tournament ofRoses parade in January was "A Saluteto the Volunteer." The Baskin-RobbinsIce Cream company honored Friends ofLibraries U.S.A., friends grouups, andvolunteer efforts in libraries throughoutthe United States. The float was adepiction of Hans Christian Andersen'senchanting fairy tale, "The UglyDuckling." Friends of Libraries U.S.A.'sfounding president Sandy Dolnick ofMilwaukee, Wisconsin, rode on thefloat, entitled "Sharing the Classics,"with four youths selected from the LosAngeles area. The stately swan and avariety of his woodland friends wereflorally "sculpted," a unique processpioneered to create dimension andfeeling. The float had nearly 7,000square feet of colorful blossoms.

A Friendly ResponseFriends have responded generously tothe Library's requests for items neededthat have been listed in Friendscript's"Library is Looking" column.

The Romance languages holdings willbenefit from the generosity of MissBetty Ann Knight of Champaign, whohas offered to fund the purchase afour-volume fine-print edition ofCervantes' masterpiece, Don Quixote.The book will be ordered from itspublisher in Barcelona for addition tothe collections.

Mrs. Margaret B. Eaton of Hatboro,Pennsylvania, has made a generous giftfrom her personal library to benefit theUI Education and Social ScienceLibrary's "S" Collection of children'sbooks. Her donation of CelestinoPiatti's Animal ABC and The Twenty-Four Days Before Christmas byMadeline L'Engle will allow the Libraryto own needed titles which are out ofprint, and could only be obtainedthrough such a gift.

In the Winter issue of Friendscript,the Library also asked for a donationfor framing 12 educational posters inthe "Math in Nature" series. Therequest has been answered by John andShirley Mahaffey of Sidney, and theirdaughter Tammy. Their gift will allowthe Library to have these postersframed professionally for theirprotection and display in the Educationand Social Science Library.

Finally, many materials have beendonated to the Music Library inresponse to requests published forsheet music, scores, recordings, etc. Dr.

The Baskin Robbins entry had the largestfloral square footage in the 95-year historyof the Tournament of Roses parade. The 28-foot-high swan was designed with thecapability to lower to 16 feet to glide underfreeway passes along the parade route.Construction of the float, which won theJudges' Special Trophy for Exceptional Merit,began last August.

Jere C. Mickel, Mount Zion, donatednumerous items including theaterprograms, early operatic and othermusical recordings and scores. Dr.Thomas Theobald, Streator, gave theLibrary 426 sound recordings from hiscollection. Music scores and soundrecordings were donated by Prof.Salvatore Marturano, Prof. JeraldHamilton, and Prof. Thomas Siwe, allfaculty members of the UI School ofMusic, and by Mr. Charles Lipp,Champaign. UI Prof. of Music EmeritusBjornar Bergethon, Champaign,contributed 695 music scores, books,and recordings; Mr. Sidney Winters,Rockford, has given 1073 pieces ofsheet music; and Mrs. A.P. Ushenkoand Mrs. A. Ushenko Hartsay,Champaign, donated 95 phonographrecordings. Mr. and Mrs. RichardJorgensen, Champaign, donated fromtheir personal library a copy of themultivolume work, The Great Operas.Finally, Mrs. Lois Schoonover Kent,Champaign, responded to the requestin "Library is Looking" with a gift of 49music items, including 13 volumes and36 issues of sheet music publishedmainly between 1900 and 1930.

It is not easy to explain the worth ofthese gifts to the Library. Theenthusiastic support and generosity ofthese Friends is much valued, and playsan important role in the Library's effortsto maintain excellent services andcollections. The Friends and the Libraryare very grateful to all these Friends,and for the important support theyrepresent.

Quotables(Editor's note: Dr. Leslie L.D. Shaffer, ofAnacortes, Washington, received his M.S.degree in management from Illinois in 1959,and his doctorate in business in 1963. Thefollowing excerpt from a letter he sent tothe University Librarian last year offers aneloquent testimony to the importance of theLibrary to students at the University andafter graduation.)

' 'Of all the many happy associa-tions at the University of Illinois, I cannever forget the Library. It was directlyacross from David Kinley Hall, and Ispent many, many hours and weekendsin the Library. It was a fantasticexperience. It was there that I foundreference to a Utopian Colony in SantaRose, Claifornia...my home town...that Idid not know existed...and I grew uptherel It was there that I becameacquainted with fine and rare books. Iexplored the library...I had a carrel andone time I fell asleep and had to stay allnight. I know that the Library at theUniversity of Illinois is one of the finestin the United States...and ranks in thetop five or so. I am very glad that I hadopportunity to be associated with thisgreat institution. , ,

We're MovingThe Office of Library Development andPublic Affairs will soon be in its newquarters, and our addresses willconsolidate and change.

As a result of the Library's ongoingreorganization, the Library FriendsOffice will move from 415 Library to227 Library, offices in the southwestcorner on the Main Library's secondfloor.

Development staff members,publications staff, and the coordinatorof Library Friends will be centrallylocated in one area. In June, theUniversity will assign a new phonenumber to the office, and mail shouldbe directed to Library Friends, 227Library, 1408 W. Gregory, Urbana, IL61801.

A New Core-Science Fiction Collection DonatedA science fiction buff and avid bookcollector has enriched the Library'sholdings with a gift of 200 hardcoverscience fiction, fantasy, and mysteryS titles.

Mr. Steven Jaffe, of Skokie, Illinois,recently donated to the Library hisvaluable collection of first editions ofthe increasingly popular genre ofscience fiction. The collection,developed over a number of years, isnow being processed to be housed as aspecial collection in the Rare BookRoom.

Among the authors represented arethe greats of science fiction, such asIsaac Asimov, Robert Silverberg, andClifford Simak. Novels by FrederickPohl, Arthur Clarke, and Roger Zelaznyare also included. Edgar Rice Burroughsis represented by several volumes; andthere are nearly 20 first edition AgathaChristie mysteries.

The collection will complement theLibrary's holdings of the manuscriptsand papers of H.G. Wells. Critic W.Warren Wagar has written of Wells:"Quite simply, he is to science fictionwhat Einstein is to modern physics, orPicasso to modern art."

For Assistant Director for SpecialCollections Norman Brown, the JaffeCollection represents an idealbenefaction for the UI Library. "Thecollection is especially valuable for itscondition, as well as for its focus. Thesebooks are without exception in mintcondition, and all but two are still intheir protective dust jackets. We hopethat Mr. Jaffe's gift will form thenucleus of expanded holdings inscience fiction and fantasy literaturehere, and that it will attract similardonations from other book collectors."

Science fiction and fantasy literaturehave become established genres forstudy by scholars and students. Withthe growing popularity of thisliterature, the UI Library has anobligation to provide resources forresearch in the field. Mr. Jaffe'sgenerosity thus enables the Library toprovide access in one centralizedlocation to important primary sourcematerials for research and study. Mr.Jaffe's collecting efforts and enjoymentof a personal hobby will benefit a widepublic.

The richly illustrated dust jackets of the JaffeCollection constitute interesting browsingmaterial themselves.

Over the past several months, theLibrary has become the object ofprivate support resulting in the additionof seven people to the UniversityLibrarian's Council. These individuals,who have each contributed $5,000 tothe Library include: Ms. Sharon D.Michalove, Champaign; Mr. GeorgePagels, Chicago; Mrs. Virginia S. Stipes,Champaign; Mr. and Mrs. Robert A.Watts, Champaign; Mr. Morris W.Leighton, Urbana; both Dr. and Mrs.

l George W. White, Champaign; and'both Mr. and Mrs. KennethOberholtzer, Danville, Calif. Copperplates with the names of these donors

I will be added to the UniversityLibrarian's Council plaque displayed in'the UI Library's main corridor on thefirst floor.

The number of people who havecontributed at least $1,500 to LibraryFriends has now grown to 26. The ninenew Life Members, whose names willbe added to the Friends recognitionplaque in the Library, include: MissBetty Ann Knight, Urbana; Mrs. SharonMichalove, Champaign; Mr. GeorgePagels, Chicago; Miss Evelyn Weber,Urbana; Mr. Martin A. Gregory,Pompano Beach, Fla.; Mr. Morris W.Leighton, Urbana; Mrs. Mildred White,Champaign; and finally, both Mr. andMrs. John T. Winburn, Chicago.

The Library is grateful for theimportant support of these donors, andhopes to continue to achieve theprivate cooperation needed to maintainits outstanding collections and its rankas a premier research library.

Others who may have similarcollecting interests in first editions ofscience fiction and fantasy booksshould consider supplementing thiscore collection through donations ofmaterials. Through such gifts, we canenhance the superior Library resourcesin which Friends, the University, thestate, and the nation take suchjustifiable pride.

ExecutiveCommittee NotesHow one chooses to spend time is apersonal consideration. But thedecision is very important to manyinstitutions and organizations in ourcountry that need volunteers toperform services that budgets can nolonger support.

Those who offer help to the UlLibrary already realize the valuablecontributions that libraries make to thewell-being of the nation. They knowthe wealth of collections at this Libraryand are willing to give some of theirtime to help maintain standards ofexcellence.

Library Friends offers an opportunityto work quietly behind the scenes or toextend a hand to the many of all agesand localities who come to learn moreabout this valuable institution.

Every effort is made to match thevolunteer with the work that best suitshis or her interests and the needs ofthe Library.

Available jobs range from reshelvingbooks to conducting tours. This year asmall group of people met biweekly inthe afternoons to clean and preservesome of our precious rare books. Oneindividual who preferred to come andgo according to her own schedule wascontent to work at this cleaning projectalone.

Other volunteers welcomedhistorians and archivists at a receptionheld in the Rare Book Room for the fallmeeting of the Midwest ArchivesConference.

The publication of a bibliographicreference was expedited with theassistance of a volunteer who helpedwith proofreading and checkingsources of information.

A variety of other volunteeropportunities exist here at the Library.If you can contribute some time, callthe Library Friends Office, 333-7480.Join the others who are volunteering tokeep the UI Library an outstandinginstitution now and in the years tocome.
