I Library Faces Budget CrisisThe University of Illinois Library at

Urbana-Champaign is facing a financialcrisis of immense proportions-a crisisthat affects the quality and collectionintegrity of every one of the Library'sunits.

Last spring, the Illinois GeneralAssembly failed to pass a needed state taxincrease, resulting in an $18 million cut infunds for the University as a whole, andelimination of an expected 6.3 percentincrease in the Library's budget.

The cut could not have come at a worsetime. Over the past few years, the Libraryhas been hobbled by book and serialsinflation of close to 14 percent annually;budget increases during that period,however, were within the 2- to 6-percentrange. Much of the inflation has been dueto the falling dollar and a history ofdiscriminatory pricing by Europeanpublishers toward American institutionalpurchasers; nearly 40 percent of theLibrary's journals and many of its bookscome from abroad.

This has left librarians no choice but tocut steeply this year from their book andserials purchases. They already had cutnon-essential periodicals and bookpurchases in previous years to cope withinflation-caused deficits.

"We need an extra $1 million per yearto carry out our mission as a majorresearch library," says Michael Gorman,director of Library General Services andformer acting university librarian. "Forseveral years, we have been shifting andpatching, but we have reached the end ofour rope. The cuts we must make nowwill imperil our mission."

University administrators have told theLibrary that if funds are restored by the

state, the Library will receive top priorityin their distribution. The likelihood,however, remains slim. The vice-chancel-lor's office, since last year, has committed$200,000 yearly to help defray theinflation library-wide, but even that hasnot been enough to staunch the losses.

"We are beginning to reduce or cancelsome of the core journals, an action weneed to make every effort to avoid," saysCarl Deal, head of Collection Develop-ment. "And we're having difficultyfinancing our purchases of monographpublications-from American universitypresses, for example-which are bread-and-butter needs for many researchers."

The Commerce Library, for example,has been unable to provide such essentialitems as 'over-the-counter' companyannual reports, publications on

international finance or trade, or evencopies of 1986 Ph.D. theses from the top30 business schools in the country. As fora needed database, the $35,000 initialinvestment is out of the question whenthe total budget is only $160,000.

"We need a $150,000 permanentincrease to get everything we need, withtoday's technology," laments CommerceLibrarian M. Balachandran. "As it is, welong ago cancelled any duplicates, but wedidn't gut the collection. Now, we'recutting unique titles, and that reallyhurts. We're used heavily by interlibraryloan by in-state and out-of-state users, sothey will suffer, too."

In the Classics Library, where amajority of books and serials come fromabroad, the picture is just as bleak. "Ifsomething is not done to help us, we will,in essence, be forced to stop acquiringwhat we need to keep this collection upto snuff," says Classics Librarian SuzanneGriffith. "Many of our purchases areprinted on plates, and if you miss avolume, it is almost impossible to pick itup at a later date."

In the Engineering Library, librarianBill Mischo plans to cut 250 journals anddelay purchase of reserve booksrequested by faculty because of aprojected $60,000 deficit. "Last year, I

bought $8,000 in reserve books," he says."This year, faculty must supply their

own. That's a disgrace, but we're beyonddisgrace now."

Donations from Library Friends now

are needed more than ever-withoutyour help, many units will be unable to

purchase any new items. For informationon contributions, including outright or

planned endowments ($10,000 mini-mum), contact the Library's director of de-

velopment and public affairs, Joan Hood.

I Holy Land Subject ofNew Exhibit

What would it be like to view the HolyLand through the eyes of earlyEuropeans? Library Friends and visitorsto the Rare Books and Special CollectionsLibrary will find out this winter during aspecial exhibit of maps of the Holy Land.

The exhibit, which opens December 6and will run through January, featuresmaps from 560 A.D. through 1750.Among the works on display will beportions of the first printed map ofPalestine, from Breydenbach's 1486Peregrinatio in Terram Sanctam (theLibrary's seven-millionth volume); thefirst map engraved by an Englishman(1572); the first published geographicatlas, by Ortelius (1570); the first mapprinted in two colors (1511); and manyothers.

Library Friends will receive acomplimentary copy of the full-colorcatalog of the exhibit.

"The acquisition of the seven-millionthvolume really perked up our interest indoing this exhibit," says Map andGeography Librarian David Cobb. "It'sthe first printed map of the Holy Land,and we went from there to see what elsewe could find. We were surprised at whatwe had."

What Mr. Cobb and co-workers foundduring three months of research wasenough exciting material for severalexhibits. Twenty-seven items finally werechosen for this winter's exhibit, allpredating modern surveying techniques.

Visitors will be able to see how mapschanged from biblically oriented works torealistic representations, how Ptolomaicgeographies were updated over time,even a photograph of the earliest knownmap of the Holy Land, which is carvedon the floor of a church in Madaba,Jordan.

The exhibit, says Mr. Cobb, is anexcellent way to focus attention on theMap and Geography Library's largecollection of early geographic works."We're letting people know that on theplains of Illinois, there's a fairly reputableinstitution with treasures in cartographyand geography," he says. "We haven'treally begun to tell people what we have.It's not just one book or map at a timethat makes this collection important, butthe holdings as a group."

A reception December 6 will be held inthe Rare Books and Special CollectionsLibrary to mark the opening of thisfascinating exhibit. Kenneth Nebenzahl,author of Maps of the Holy Land, chartermember of Library Friends, and notedrare book and print dealer in Chicago, willlecture prior to the reception.

I New Manuscript CollectionFeatures Russian EmigrdWriters

When Urbana resident JuliaGauchman's Aunt Sophie died in 1972,leaving to Mrs. Gauchman an apartmentfull of books and letters, Mrs. Gauchmanhad no idea what she might find amongthe pages.

Mrs. Gauchman's Aunt Sophie,however, was Sophie Pregel (1894-1972),one of the most significant figures of theRussian emigre community for more thanfive decades. When Mrs. Gauchman,herself a recent Soviet emigre, finally gotthe chance to go through the papersrecently, she found a treasure trove ofpublished and unpublished material fromliterary greats (and not-so-greats) fromthe '20s and beyond.

Now, Miss Pregel's papers have beendonated to the UIUC Library and placedin the University Archives, where theycomplement the extensive holdings of theSlavic and East European Library.Through this remarkable collection,researchers will receive a rare glimpseinto one of the most fertile literary andcultural communities of the century.

"This collection has potentially greatresearch value," says Marianna TaxCholdin, head of the Slavic and EastEuropean Library. "It contains muchimportant correspondence, includingrejected and revised manuscripts fromSophie Pregel's literary journal. These

will help scholars understand the literaryand cultural life of the period."

Among the great figures represented inthis collection are Nobel Prize winnerIvan Bunin, Aleksei Remizov, NadezhdaTeffi, and Ivrii Terapiano.

Miss Pregel's papers also include acollection of material from VadimRudnev, publisher of the prominentSovremennye Zapiski, which Trotsky oncecalled the most dangerous of all emigrejournals. Included in this group of papersare items from Alexander Kerensky,Vladimir Nabokov, and MarinaTsvetaeva.

Also of interest is a complete set of aRussian satirical newspaper published forone year; as far as is known, this is theonly complete run anywhere.

Miss Pregel herself was a poet, writer,translator, and editor. She emigrated in1922 to Paris and later moved to NewYork, where she founded the journal,Novosselye (1942-50).

"She started this publication when themajor emigr6 literary journal, publishedin Paris, was closed down during thewar," explains Joel Janicki, a Ph.D.candidate in Russian literature andcurrently an instructor at NorthernIllinois University, who processed thecollection. "But she also wanted to createa bridge between Soviet emigreg and thenew American war allies-the SovietUnion. That's why she is one of the fewemigr6s officially recognized by the SovietUnion."

Miss Pregel's journal also presentedAmerican writers in Russian translation.Thus, her papers include letters fromsuch American writers as Howard Fastand Thomas Wolfe.

I I Library Obtains DreiserCollection

The Rare Books and Special CollectionsLibrary has obtained the late Hugh C.Atkinson's extensive collection onTheodore Dreiser (1871-1945), one of themost important twentieth-centurynovelists.

The collection was acquired throughthe generosity of Mrs. Mary N. Atkinsonand funds contributed by Library Friends.

The inventory accompanying thecollection indicates that it includes at least223 first and later editions of Dreiser'snovels and other works, including plays,short-story collections, poetry, essays,and three autobiographical works.

Drawing by Reginald Marsh for Dreiser's Sister Carrie from a 1939 edition published by the Limited Edition Club.

History of ChemistrySeen in New Collection

Some of the first books in the modernfield of organic chemistry are the focus ofa new collection in the history of science,donated by chemist Frank H. Stodola.

The collection contains approximatelysixty shelf-feet of textbooks andmonographs primarily from the firsttwo-thirds of the nineteenth century. It isunusual in that it focuses almostexclusively on a single period of greatimportance to chemistry.

"The collection documents theemergence of one of the major branchesof chemistry, which barely existed in thebeginning of the nineteenth century,"says Evan Melhado, associate professorof the history of science and of medicine,who worked with Dr. Stodola to bring thecollection to the UI. "By the 1860s or so,

organic chemistry was already a majordiscipline, so this collection reallyprovides a resource for both research andteaching in the history of chemistry."

Among the books are first editions ofBeilstein's Handbiich der organischenChemie (1880-1882) and Gerhardt's Precisde chimie organique (1844), and AntoineFourcroy's Elements of Chemistry (1800).

Dr. Stodola, a 1933 graduate of theUniversity of Minnesota, was head of theLaboratory for Biological Chemistry at theUSDA Northern Regional ResearchLaboratories in Peoria until his retirementin 1972. His gift, according to Dr.Melhado, is in recognition of the UI'soutstanding School of Chemical Sciencesand its long record of teaching the historyof chemistry.

The books will be housed in the RareBooks and Special Collections Library.

Asian Library ReceivesTwo Major Gifts

Also included are 114 works such asbiographies, critical studies of Dreiser'swork, and works to which Dreiser himselfcontributed.

Tragic America (New York, 1936) is oneof several stellar items in the collection.To avoid possible legal problems, thepublisher found it advisable to revise theoriginal text which, with the exception ofabout twelve copies, was destroyed. TheLibrary's copy has the suppressededition, bound in the same binding as theedition finally published.

The Hugh C. Atkinson TheodoreDreiser Collection is a major researchresource which, like the Sandburg, Wells,Proust, Merwin, and Rilke collections,will be expanded as opportunities arise.Portions of the Hugh C. Atkinsonmemorial Fund will be used for thispurpose.

The Asian Library is the recipient of twomajor gifts, totaling more than 1,200volumes.

In June 1987, the State EducationCommission of the People's Republic ofChina donated a 1,029-volume collectionof current Chinese-language publicationsin the fields of history, social sciences,languages and literature, arts andhumanities, and collectanea.

The items, some of which were ondisplay during the Asian Library'ssummer exhibit, are valued at more than$20,000.

"The Chicago office of the Chineseembassy offered this to us because wehave one of the largest groups of Chinesestudents in the country," says AsianLibrary William Wong.

In addition, says Mr. Wong, the UIUCLibrary has long had ties with thePeople's Republic of China through apublications exchange program and avisiting scholars program.

In May 1987, the Japan Foundationnamed the Asian Library as a recipient ofa grant to purchase $4,000 worth ofJapanese-language publications. YasukoMakino, the Library's Japanese-collectionlibrarian, compiled the list of desiredbooks, all dealing with Japaneseeconomics and business administration.They should arrive during the Fall 1987semester.

Under terms of the grant, the librarypays one-fourth of the costs for thematerials and the Foundation pays thebalance. The Library's costs have beenunderwritten through the generosity ofthe Library Friends.

"These are all books we wouldn't havebeen able to obtain otherwise," says Mr.Wong. "Since 1985, most of our moneyhas had to go for periodicals. We haven'tbeen able to buy much else."

Quotables"As an institution within an institution

to which I've felt great loyalty over theyears, the Library symbolizes to me oneof the stronger influences in my life. Thehours I spent, sadly much of themenforced, reading periodicals to which Imight never have been exposed, hadgreat meaning and increasingly so as Ireach "middle age."

The legacy of the printed word is stillone of the greatest gifts one generationcan pass on to another. No microfilminvented can ever duplicate the smell ofa book or the feel of a book. The booksthat guide us in youth become anentertainment in age. I'm delighted thatI can be of support to the U of I Library."

Discover the Past inClassics Library

Are you in search of the Trojan War, orperhaps the cargo of ancient sunkenships?

Before you buy that ticket to Greece,you might want to stop in at the ClassicsLibrary first. That's where you'll find thefield reports for some of the most famous,as well as most recent, archaeologicalexpeditions to antiquity.

"There's always digging going onsomewhere," chuckles Classics LibrarianSuzanne Griffiths, "and always newareas to explore. And these digs go on foryears and years. So, as these reports comeout in dribs and drabs, we try to purchasethem, even though they can costhundreds of dollars each."

Among the holdings are Carl Blegen'sfield reports on his famous excavations ofTroy (an important part of the recent PBStelevision series on Troy) as well asreports on all the most important sites ofthe ancient world. "One of the mostrecent trends," adds Ms. Griffiths, "isunderwater exploration-ships of

lies in its holdings in philology-thestudy of the workings of the ancientlanguages. In 1907 and 1913, ProfessorWilliam Oldfather obtained theoutstanding personal libraries of twoprominent German philologists-Wilhelm Dittenberger and JohannesVahlen- totaling more than 70,000volumes. Included in this remarkablegroup of books is an invaluable collectionof 19th-century philological dissertationsand pamphlets-a collection unsurpassedanywhere in the nation.

Complementing this are the constantpurchases of new concordances and otherlinguistic tools for the country's onlyPh.D. program in classical philology.Unfortunately, some of these works costbetween $200 and $400, making newpurchases almost impossible because ofrecent budget constraints. In fact, Ms.Griffiths has been unable to buy anurgently needed concordance for theworks of Cyprian, an early bishop ofCarthage, because of its steep $300 pricetag (depending on the exchange rate forGerman marks).

"In our work, we try to construct theexact constitution of the ancient texts,which have been corrupted over thecenturies by being copied by hand,"explains one professor of classicalphilology. "We can't go on with this kindof work without a very large number oflinguistic tools like concordances."

The Classics Library also holds booksessential to such fields as history,linguistics, speech communications, andart history. In fact, it holds long- runningseries of studies in classical pottery andother works of art, representing reportson every museum worldwide with suchholdings. "We keep a standing order forthese items, at $100 to $250 a volume,"says Ms. Griffiths.

Says the classical philologist, "Thisreally is one of the very best classicscollections in the country. Only a handfulare as good or better than ours."

The Library is LookingFor . . .Donation to purchase six modem-daycounty histories and nine reprints of latenineteenth-century county histories andatlases. The Illinois Historical Surveycannot afford the cost of $485, eventhough these items are essential formaintaining its comprehensive collectionof sources for Illinois history.
