SENATE COMMITTEE ON THE LJBRARYREPORT FOR 1934 - 1935

A 'ON13.

To the Members of the University Senate:

Your Committee on the Library begs leave to submit

the following report for the past year.

For the fiscal year 1934-35, the Board of Trustees

made appropriations of $102,000 for the increase of the Library

as follows: General Library, $85,000; Law, $7,000; Medicine and

Dentistry, $9,200, and Pharmacy, $800. The appropriation of

$85,000 for the General Library~ sas assgned to the various

schools, colleges, and departments, etc. by the Senate Library

Committee, As usual, the appropriation to Law was looked upon

as relatively sufficient, and no supplementary assignment was

made to it by the Committee. In addition to these book appro-

priations there was spent for books last year, out of depart-

mental or other funds, $3,525.15 and most of these purchases

were added to the Library, though some are kept in departmental

Soffices.

A schedule of assignments for the purchase of books

• for the past two years follows. "Regular" assignments are likely

to be repeated from year to year, but the amount for any one pur-

Spose or department has frequently been changed by the Committee

\ when making the annual assignments. The Committee again

authorized the Director to make necessary minor changes or adjust-

ments during the year.

The purchase of sets of journals and other valuable

individual works desirable in a research library has been continued,

though with decreased funds; the following titles received during

the year are examples of these, and illustrate the wide range of

subjects and the character of these works needed to aid the re-

search carried on in the University:

In accordance with its practice of filling sets of statelegi~ative journals as opportunity arises, the Li-brary has bought c-uring the year various volumes ofthe journals of the states listed below to make ourfiles more complete:

Arizona NevadaArkansas New HampshireColorado North CarolinaConnecticut OhioDistrict of Columbia OregonGeorgia South CarolinaIllinois TennesseeKansas TexasKentucky VermontLouisiana VirginiaMichigan West VirginiaMinnesota WisconsinMississippi WyomingMissouri

During the past year as in recent years, a considerable

number of manuscripts and rare printed books in distant libraries

have been photographed for us; these are mounted here on cloth and

bound and add greatly-to our permanent resources. Most of these

photographs are purchased for immediate use by members of the

faculty; but scholars in other universities may usually borrow

them.

Through the activities of the Joint Committee on

Materials for Research, of the American Council of Learned

Societies and the Social Science Research Council, the Code Hear-

ings held under the provisions of the National Industrial Recovery

Act, and those held by the Agricultural Adjustment Administration,

have been photographed on 16mm. film in order to make them avail-

able to students in research libraries. The film used is a safety

film, non-inflammable, and believed to be relativelypermanent.

The 150,000 typewritten pages of the former, and the 136,000 pages

of the latter constitute the first considerable purchase of film

material by this library. The price of the the typewritten

(mimeographed) pages was two cents per page when purchased from

the official reporters; the price charged for the films was about

one and a quarter mills, or one-sixteenth the price of the mimeo-

graphed page,

An increasing number of books and pamphlets are each

year received as gifts and add much to our resources. These gifts

come from members of the faculty, from alumni, students, and

friends, but more largely from organizations (e.g. corporations,

societies, institutions) and governmental agencies in every part of

the world. The following are a few of these, chiefly from

individuals:

The Library is on the mailing list of over 15,000 de-

partments, bureaus, offices, corporations, societies, associations,

institutions, etc., located in all parts of the world, though

chiefly in the United States, to receive their current bulletins,

reports, and other publications.. However, frequent effort is

necessary to keep our name on these lists and to secure additional

kinds of material, much of it published many years ago. During

the year special letters or post card requests, chiefly from the

Order department, helped to put or to keep our name on mailing

lists, and our letters brought to us as gifts or exchanges such

material as the following: Journals of Protestant Episcopal

Dioceses in the United States, Cuba and Mexico; material relating

to the New Deal. Chiefly through the efforts of the Exchange

Division, 3,379 official serial publications of state and federal

governments were received during the year.

An effort to secure CCC Camp papers was started in July 1934, and

as a result, 526 of these papers are now received currently.,

During the year the Library sent 8,957 copies of

104 University of Illinois publications to libraries and other in-

stitutions on our gift or exchange lists; other offices on the

campus in accordance with exchange arrangements made by the Library,

mailed 16,964 copies of 44 additional publications. New exchanges

of publications were arranged with 52 additional institutions, and

exchanges were discontinued with 11.

The number of volumes in the University Library on

June 30, 1935 in Urbana was 961,274; in Chicago, 50,664; total

in the University, 1,011,938.

There are appended to this report, three statistical

tables showing the size, the growth, and the recorded use of the

Library.
