CHJ:],llSTRY LIBRARY
h'\,'NUAL REPORI'
July I, 1984 - June 30, 1985
~lementation
of Last Year's Priorities
A. :F'BR
1. The entire staff has been trained to use FER and they
in turn are able to provide instruction and assistance
to patrons using the system.
2. By ~g the card catalog of sets of cards for lost,
wi thdrawn, or transferred materials as ~ll as c:rDSS
references which led no vmere, ~ ~e able to eliminate
a 30 drav.-er section fran the' Chemistry card catalog.
B. Original Cataloging
1. The professional staff of the library attended a two
....l(Xk training session given by Nancy Rc::nero and Arnold
\\aje..lburg in February. We have not done much in the way
of either training sUpfXJrt staff to
with original
cataloging or actually doing cataloging. We have been
short of saTe of the major tools necessary for this pro­
cess and direct patron service is still given top prior­
ity.
2. We have done as much reorganization of our VvDrking areas
as space penni ts. HCM'ever, the space ,~ have for our
sUP,P8rt staff definitely is inadequate. We need ITDre
space to allow them to put sare distance be~ them­
selves and space ....' 1ere they can get away fran the public
to ....D rk ~ithout inter~rytions.
c. Bibliographic Instruction
1. We have continuc<l to offer instruction in the use of
library tools a'1d online searching for e.,Jd users. Ho.v-­
ever, this past year it has bc~ on a one to one basis or
STall groups.
D.
1. It ....a s late r-~y before we were informed that ~ could
transfer ffi3terials fran
Chemistry Library to the
r-~in Library stacks.
By Ju.'1e 30 ~ transferred 3,207
vol~s, ",ruch is about one-third of the total number of
volLr.es ~ plan to transfer.
Chc.rn.islry
M:Jst Important AC£C11lPlishrrents of last Year
A. A truthful response to this question is "none".
1. With the beginning of the fall SCi1l2ster we had a 100%
turn over of the support staff. A large PJrtion of
the year was spent training new staff.
2. This year, it has been necessary for the staff to put
ITDst of its energies into solving ao:p.risitions and
binding problans.
3. The quality and quanity of reference and online search
services have regressed this year. One person can not
handle the dEmand for these services in the Chemistry
Library.
B. Shelving.
1. Thanks to an increase in the student wage budget, our
ability to hire College Work Study students, and the
assignment of a high percentage of student hour to shelv­
ing this year, 'V.'e 'V.'ere able to keep even. However,
placing a high priority on shelving did not pennit the
use of many hours of student time for circulation or
special projects.
C. Half-time LTA I
1. .The one bright spot of the year has been the addition of
a half-tin:e LTA I to be resp:msible for the library fran
5-9 p.m. M:Jnday through Friday. The use of the library
during those evening hours has grown to an average of 43
individuals per hour. The LTA is able to help patrons in
locating infonnation, does a superb job of supervising
students who v.urk those hours and with the help of the
students keeps a steady flCM of materials going to the
Bindery.
Priorities of the Coming Year
A. Revitalizing reference and online search services.
B. l-bre enphasis on bibliographic instruction.
