In his remarks following lunch, he
"
expressed feelings of pleasure and satisfaction for the decision to give his collection of
writings, books, manuscripts, and medals
toOSU. A 1922 graduate in Chemical

libraries and world peace. "There is
nothing more important than knowledge,
and libraries are essential to the preservation
and dissemination of knowledge. If people
are educated, we'll have world peace in
the future and not the destruction of
civilization in a nuclear war."
He shared some memories on how
important libraries have been to him
through his life, first as a youngster in
Portland, Oregon, then as a student at
OAC (now Oregon State University), and
later at the California Institute of Technology.
He even had occasion, in 1961, to use the
Lenin Library in Moscow. While attending
a month-long Bio-Chemical Symposium in
Moscow, he missed work at his laboratory.
To continue his study of atomic nuclei, he
decided to do some reading. The book he
needed, by a California collegue, was

Thoughts from the Director of
Libraries
By now most readers know that Linus
Pauling came to Corvallis last April 17-19,
bringing with him a new opportunity and
an awesome challenge for the University
Libraries. Dr. Pauling has decided that the
libraries of Oregon State University should
be the repository for his own papers and
those of his wife, Ava Helen Pauling. The
organization of the Pauling papers and the
development of collections which will
supplement and help to interpret them is a
new undertaking for the libraries of
Oregon State. This work brings to OSU a
concern for what research libraries term
"Special
Special Collections."
Collections."
As the term implies, special collections
are not treated like other collections. They
are usually housed together
together in
in an
an area
area of
of
extraordinary security and the descriptive
finding guides to the materials are generally
more detailed than the cataloging which is
given to ordinary library materials. Special
collections often contain manuscripts,
notes, and other working papers as well as
published books and journal articles. They
attempt to be a file of everything a scholar
might need for research on a certain topic
or person, or they attempt to provide a
collection of materials not available
elsewhere. As a consequence, such
collections tend to have a relatively narrow
focus. While the items which comprise a
special collection may not have great value
individually, they do have value as a
consequence of being part of a unique
collection.
The valuable comprehensiveness of a
special
special collection
collection demands
demands special
special treattreatment. The materials usually are not loaned,
and users must journey to the site of the
collection to study. Upon arrival, the
scholar is likely to be met with unusual
restrictions. There may be limitations upon
photocopying and upon what personal
items may be brought into the room to
ensure against theft. The use of fountain
and ballpoint pens, which could deface
documents, may be prohibited. There may
be unusual checkout requirements. Special
handling may be enforced, such as
washing one's hands at regular intervals or
the use of forceps for fragile materials
which could be damaged by skin oils or too
much contact.
Of course, some materials contained in
special collections may be of extreme rarity
and value. Notes, autographs, and
manuscripts of famous individuals may
exist nowhere else, and there may be first
editions or other original materials which
are prized by collectors. These would be of
value wherever they were held.
It is the intention of OSU to make the
Ava Helen and Linus C. Pauling Papers the
centerpiece of a new program. A room is
being remodeled in Kerr Library to hold the
Pauling Papers as well as other special
collections which are yet to come.
Emphasis will be placed upon security and
the preservation of the unique materials,
which will be stored there. A Special
Collections Librarian and staff will be hired
to handle the complex tasks which these
materials require, and the staff will be
charged with ensuring their preservation to
perpetuity.
The University wishes
wishes to
to collect
collect all
all
papers, medals, models, correspondence,
notebooks, books, and any other material
or memorabilia gathered by Dr. and Mrs.
Pauling as they went about their public and
private lives. In addition, the Library
intends to acquire related materials which
will make the Special Collections Room at
OSU the definitive source of information
for scholars about the Paulings' life and
work. The aim of the Library will be to
furnish a complete record of the Paulings
so that one may review not only their
record of achievement, but the marital
relationship and personal characteristics
which resulted in Dr. Pauling being the
only individual in history to be awarded
two unshared Nobel Prizes.
Future
Future Collections
While the Pauling material will hold
priority, it is the Library's hope that it will
be
be the
the first
first of
of many
many special
special collections
collections in
in
the future. Oregon State has been closely
linked to the development of farming and
ranching, the improvement of mining and
other engineering activities, and the use of
forest and marine resources in Oregon.
Scholars often turn to OSU and its library
to find a record of such accomplishments.
Meanwhile materials which could support
study in those areas may be languishing
unnoticed in attics and forgotten files
across the State or throughout the Pacific
Northwest. The records of defunct mining
companies may provide scholars with new
evidence about historical development in
rural areas and the importance of
engineering innovations throughout
Oregon. The papers and diaries of farmers
and ranchers could allow the study of the
social, economic, political, and religious
history of the State. The financial accounts
ofa lumber mill could provide background
to further the understanding of economic
cycles. The original research files of a
private sea ranching organization could
furnish important data for the discovery of
new ways to farm the oceans. Universities
have an important role in preserving the
record of human achievement. Few other
organizations in American society are
charged with this responsibility which
makes scholarship possible. The opening
of a Special Collections Room at Kerr
Library will allow Oregon State University
to take up its responsibility in a new and
significant way.
Readers of these remarks can help by
identifying collections of special worth to
scholarship and making them known to
library staff. Since no institution can hope to
do everything well, it is.probable Kerr
Library will concentrate upon collections
that are in some way related to the
strengths of the University. Thus, collections
related to research in, or to the history of,
agriculture, engineering,
engineering, forestry,
forestry, home
home
economics, oceanography, pharmacy and
science and their related cultural and
literary traditions will be especially welcome.
Once the library's special collections staff
are in place it will be their responsibility to
follow up on suggestions and leads which
you, the readers of The Messenger, can
provide. Readers who make such recommendations will have a part in ensuring the
health and vitality of research at Oregon
State and in preserving the past and the
present for generations yet to come.

(Details of Dr. Pauling's address are
reported elsewhere in this issue.)
Chancellor Davis acknowledged the
great gift of medals, awards, and scientific
and peace papers which Dr. Pauling has
given to the OSU Library. President Byrne
also acknowledged the honor of this
contribution, stating that all the people of
Oregon as well as OSU would benefit from
this thoughtful donation. He also spoke of
the University's influence: Wherever alums
go, the University goes with them and
when they serve with honor and distinction,
as did Dr. Pauling, so does the University.
Indeed, this day honored one of OSU's
greatest alums.

"Collection Analysis
Project (CAP)"
The first changeover in library administration in twenty years and a concurrent
change in the Presidency
Presidency and
and the
the
administrative structure of Oregon State
University resulted in the Collection
Analysis Project (CAP). When John V.
Byrne became the President of OSU, he
announced his intention of reviewing the
University's current programs and procedures. The aim was to give impetus to
strengthen the organization and its research,
pedagogical and service functions. It was
appropriate that the libraries also should
review their quality and ability to support
the research and instructional programs of
the University. In light of statistical
comparisons with libraries serving other
research universities of comparable size
and scope, the OSU libraries were found to
be substantially below average in financial
support. The CAP, which was developed
by the Association of Research Libraries
(ARL) and tested in
in more
morethan
than thirty
thirty research
libraries across the nation, was chosen for
the review process at the OSU Libraries.
The CAP was chosen because it
provided a method to review all pertinent
aspects of collection management. These
included internal operating procedures
and staff organization, the allocation of the
budget for materials, resource sharing, and
collection assessment. Also involved were
external factors such as the University
instruction and research and existing
plans for their future, long-term demographic and economic projections, and the
impact of technological

The Collection Analysis Project has
progressed through three phases. The
initial five months were devoted to the
gathering of descriptive background data
which aided the Study Team in later phases
of the project. The interim report, published
in October 1985, concentrated on a
historical survey of the Library. It included
a review of environmental factors which
affect Library collections, and the mission
and goals for the Collection Management
Program.
During phase two of the project, four

There have been many advantages with

have already been implemented according
to the time schedule suggested. One
example shows that the Library Director
has defined the relationship between the

advisory to the Collection Development
Librarian, and the subject librarians, who
compose the council together with other
librarians who wish to participate. This

development and enhanced resource
sharing will require joint action with the
University, state-wide and regional libraries.
This coordination must be phased in over a
longer period of time.
The most fundamental need is the area of
finance. The action here is to set the
Libraries' funding at the level indicated by
the Budget Allocation System which is the
suggested model for Higher Education,
statewide. Incremental increases in staffing
and materials must begin with the 1986-87
budget.
These are but three of some 95

Many of us are surely armchair explorers.
If we only had the time and money we
would be off for Africa, the Antarctic, or
the summit of Kilimanjaro. The book
WOMEN OF THE FOUR WINDS, by
Elizabeth Olds, tells about four early
members of the Society of Woman
Geographers who explored Greenland,
climbed mountains in South America,
hunted elephants in Africa for the Chicago
Field Museum, and reported on Russia as a
journalist-spy.
Annie Smith Peck, at forty-five, devoted
the rest of her life to mountain climbing,
especially in South America. The men she
hired as guides were, for the most part,
entirely incompetent. One was lazy, crazy,
and a drunkard, but in spite of him or them
she was the first to climb Mt. Huascaran.

Delia J. Akeley led expeditions for big
game, especially elephants, in Africa. She
and her husband shot those huge elephants
which now stand at the entrance to
Chicago's Field Museum. Her account of
the rescue of her husband after he was
mauled by an elephant is very dramatic
and nerve-wracking.
Marguerite Harrison was a journalist
who spied on Russia while reporting on
events there. She was denounced and
jailed. When finally released she wrote a
book about her experiences. Later, she
ventured into Russia through Japan and
was again jailed, and again wrote a book!
She also filmed the migration of a nomadic
tribe in Persia, one of the first documentaries.
Louise Amer Boyd, a wealthy San
Francisco heiress, financed and led seven
expeditions to Greenland. These expeditions
