As a part of the "Library Fair"
activities, Phi Kappa Phi organized
their "Library Challenge." Phi Kappa
Phi, OSU's only national honor society for upper classmen, had chosen to
support the Library because of its role
as the foundation of scholarship and
as a resource that all students use. Phi
Kappa Phi challenged about 100 other
student groups cooperatively to match
their donation of $2,000 to the Library
Expansion Project. The purpose of the
challenge was to mobilize students in
support of the Expansion Project.
A number of groups re"ABle Nagy, VP Phi Kappa Phi, explained the "Phi Kappa Phi Library Challenge" to the audience
at the Blue Key Library Fair Luncheon. With Allie at the head table, from the left are Dr. Melvin
George, Dr. John Byrne, Jessa Wittwer, Coordinator of the Fair, Robert Lundeen, Chairman of the
Library Expansion Project, and Jeff Valdes, President of Blue Key.

$3,750. In addition, the OSU Student
Foundation pledged to contribute
$50,000 to the Expansion Project over
the next ten years. The checks and
pledges were presented to Dr. Mel
George. Following this presentation,
The Associated Students of

Bob Lundeen, Chairman of the Library Expansion Project Volunteer
Steering Committee, spoke briefly on
the "Importance of the OSU Family
Commitment." President Byrne remarked on the "Significance of Student Leadership" at OSU.
The significance of the Student Senate's action cannot be overemphasized. Jim Kennison, Library
Expansion Project Director, pointed
out, "A $500,000 commitment from
students, at a time when tuition is
going up 42%, plus a possible surcharge, when programs are being cut
and enrollments are being downsized
and then capped, shouts a loud and
clear message: OSU students care."

when architects and library directors
are asked to plan for 20 years, it is a
difficult assignment since electronic
advances are increasing the complexity of a multi-faceted system of services.
He gave a quick tour of the
Library expansion project by using
large board drawings of the Library
floor plans. The building will be enlarged by 125,000 square feet. Architecturally, new floors and ceilings will
line up with the existing structure. He
displayed the new northern facade,
which would be sympathetic to the
historic architecture around the quadrangle.
He also described the interior. The new entry in the expanded
Library will provide a porch for shaking off the rain, a vestibule in which to

access to 3 new high speed elevators

to guide the Friends before the luncheon.
Dr. George reminded the
Friends of the Blue Key National
that Clell Conrad, John Decius, Don
Hunt and Roger Lindquist had been
nominated and agreed to serve on the
199 1-92 Board of Directors. They were
elected by a voice vote. Freda Vars
was unanimously elected President
for the coming year.
George introduced Dean Almgren and
Don Hunt who were involved with
Library expansion in 1963 when the
first 4 floors were completed and in
1971 when floors 5 and 6 were added
to the central Library.
Dr. George highlighted a few
significant accomplishments for 199091. He introducedThe Pauling Catalogue. This volume was prepared by
Special Collections Librarian, Clifford
Mead, with funds from the FOL, and
took 3 years to complete. It was presented to Dr. Pauling during his campus wide 90th birthday celebration. It
is a first edition and complete bibliography of 923 items which are important to the history of science and the
development of new scientific ideas.
Dr. George also appraised the
Friends of a 3.5 million dollars endowment given by the Campbell family. This gift provides for the endowed
chair awarded to Dr. George and alters his title to read, "The Delpha and
Donald Campbell Director of Libraries." He said that some of the income
from the Campbell endowment would
be available for the expansion project.
A third important occasion
for 1990-91 was the designation of
$500,000, as a deferred gift, by Mr.
Pat Grace, Head of Special Reference Services, explained the Government Documents
Division to patrons.

selective depository per congressional
district. Regional depositories Oregon's is at Portland State University Library - acquire all depository
publications. The selective depositories pick only the publications that are
necessary to carry out their mission.
The OSU Libraries are a selective depository.
The U.S. government is one of
the largest information producers and
publishers in the world. Each department and agency generates information: the Spotted Owl Report produced
by the Forest Service; daily weather
maps produced by the National
Weather Service; Supreme Court cases;
the Congressional Record and hear-
ings; medical literature indexes from
of information through the deposi-

Of particular interest to this

sciences, are technical reports The

producing less informtion and mak-
and the Department of Energy, for
example, are made available, some
free of charge or at nominal cost.
Agricultural and economic informa-
tion from the Department of
Agriculture's Economic Research Service and Agricultural Marketing Ser-
vice is heavily used here. Banking,
commercial, and trade information is
in plentiful supply from the Department of Commerce and the Federal
Reserve Board. The Consumer Price
Index and employment statistics come
from the Labor Department. The biggest collection of statistics comes from
the Census Bureau.
The government is using the
latest technology to provide information. Compact disks (CD-ROMs), simi-
lar to high quality music recordings,
can hold large quantities of information. The Congressional Record for
one year fits on two of these small
disks. Most of the 1990 Census, which
will be available this summer, will
also be on CD-ROM. Up-to-date indexes to government publications are
also on compact disks.
The Patent and Trademark
Office offers inventors the ability to
look up their own patent information.
Using CD-ROMs, the library user can
search the Patent Office's holdings for
their inventions in a few hours. This
service has been heavily used by in-
ventors from around the state and
researchers from the university. The
State Library in Salem has more complete patent information.
The wide variety of government information makes it difficult to
find specific items. This research process is simplified by a growing num-
ber of commercially produced indexes, handbooks and other tools,
which are specifically compiled to
provide access to government publications.

Tours
The Friends of the Library
Docents will be participating in the
"daVinci Days" for the second year.
The Docents will be leading tours in
the Library from 11 am to 2 pm on
Saturday, July 20th. The tours will
begin in the Seminar Room, #135 first
floor, Kerr Library. Each tour will include several areas of the Library, in-
cluding: the Pauling Collection, the
McDonald Room, the Maps and Documents collections, "Art in the Library",
and demonstrations of newer tech-
nologies such as OASIS. The
McDonald Room, which was not included in last year's tours, holds such
treasures as ancient Egyptian clay tablets that are almost 4,000 years old, a
15th century Flemish choirbook, an
18th century French encyclopedia and
many important historical works for
the study of early pharmacopoeae,
ornithology and northwest natural
history. Each tour is limited to 12
people, and will be led by a Docent
who has his or her own "favorites" in
the collection.
Whether your interest is in
the "treasures" in our library or in
becoming a Docent, you are invited to
