Annual Report of Institutional Progress
University Libraries
University of Georgia
2000-2001
1. Summary of Major Accomplishments
Library Collections. Total holdings surpassed 3.7M volumes, placing the Libraries 35th
among the 111 academic members of the Association of Research Libraries
(ARL).
ARL Ranking. Due to increased subscriptions to electronic journals, the Libraries
continued to rank 28th in ARL membership index. In specific types of material,
the Libraries rank 13th in sound recordings, 6th in archival and manuscript
holdings, 7th in cartographic materials, and 2nd in film and video.
Galileo Intergrated Libraries (GIL). This marked the second full year of using GIL as
our automated library system to support the catalog, circulation, and processing
functions. Beta testing was completed for Universal Borrowing, a program
whereby any system institution member can have access to materials from all
University System libraries. We are now conducting training sessions for a
grouping of University system libraries in the southern part of the state.
Renovation of library buildings. The re-tiling project for the entire entry floor at the
Science Library was completed. This project afforded us the opportunity to
reconfigure staff work areas, to redefine the public areas on the floor, and to do
some reduction of the material shelved in that area. This project also included
new ceiling tiles and installation of new lighting.
Installation of compact shelving (12,765 gross lineal feet of space) in the Main
Library was completed. This project allows for future expansion of the Media
Archives and the Peabody Archives Collection.
Student Learning Center. Ground was broken for the Student Learning Center on
September 1, 2000. A furniture consultant was hired and furniture has been
selected. Work is underway to expedite the bid process. Working with UCNS, a
Student Learning Center Prototype has been developed in the Main Library where
we can further define programs, needs, and services for the SLC. A web page for
the Student Learning Center has been created that includes a project history, a live
image from a video camera, floor plans, time-lapsed video of the construction
site, and an interior tour.
2
Special Collections Libraries Building. Design drawings were completed and a display
model was built to use for fundraising. The building was presented before the
Board of Regents this spring. Although it didn’t make it on list of capital projects
this year, we anticipate that it will next year.
Development. The Libraries continue to make substantial progress in fund raising. This
past year, commitments and collections totaling over $730,000 were received.
Major New Online Resources. Spending for online resources continues to increase, with
licenses that permit campus-wide access becoming the norm. This past year, the
Libraries acquired access to 39 new resources, including journals, books, and
databases. A sampling follows:

Art Index Retrospective

Business Cycle Indicators

Columbia International Affairs

Communication Abstracts

Compendex

Index of Christian Art

E*Subscribe

Index to Current Urban Documents

International Pharmaceutical Abstracts

New Grove’s Dictionary of Music and Musicians

Poem Finder

Policy File

Political Risk Yearbook

Poole’s Plus, and Tech Data Express
Libraries Homepage. Greatly enhanced the Libraries Homepage with several features
including an interactive staff directory, 54 subject guides, and a Frequently Asked
Question file. Sixteen departmental sites were re-worked. In addition, we
compiled an extensive guide to Government Information on the Web as a possible
prototype for a GALILEO government information database for the state and
designed a new interface for the Electronic Journal Locator.
Coordinating Electronic Resources. Two positions were created to monitor the use and
effectiveness of various electronic resources and to coordinate procurement and
licensing of these resources. Data gathering and the design and programming of a
Web-based system for tracking electronic resource purchases, licensing, and
problems was completed this year. This information will be invaluable in
assessing electronic resources
Digital Library of Georgia DLG released the Southeastern Native American Documents
online resource to the public as part of GALILEO. Work on the Clifford “Baldy”
Baldowski collection continued, with the successful creation of an Ultimate
database, images, and web interface to the collection. This collection is expected
3
to go live in the fall of 2001. Numerous collections from the Hargrett Rare Book
and Manuscript Library were imaged, transcribed, and SGML encoded
throughout the year, and moves were made to create the infrastructure to house
these materials online under GALILEO. Summer saw the start of the first DLG
project working with materials from outside the UGA Libraries. The Camilla
Riot Manuscripts contains materials from the National Archives documenting the
incident in Mitchell County Georgia during Reconstruction. Other digital projects
such as the Georgia Books and Newspapers (mainly transcription of the Cherokee
Phoenix) continued – an additional year of the Phoenix was added to the
prototype Georgia Historic Newspapers Database.
Library Organization. Two AULs accepted appointments outside UGA, Merryll Penson
to the Board of Regents, University System of Georgia and Barbara Winters to
Marshal University. The result was a further flattening of the organization by not
replacing that administrative tier, thus demonstrating our interdependence. The
Department Heads Group continues to meet weekly in a facilitated fashion
employing appropriate methods to address and resolve issues. In addition, this
year saw the positive five-year review of the University Librarian.
Government Documents


Processing. Automated current U.S. documents processing, began automation of
Georgia documents processing which will result in much improved access to
government documents in the online catalog.
State Publications of Georgia. We digitized our first video and audio cd and added
approximately 250 documents in electronic text to the database. As a result of a
statewide meeting of members of the FDLP (Federal Library Depository Program)
hosted by the UGA Libraries on May 10, a commitment was received for cooperative
cataloging for state documents and Valdosta State University and Georgia Southern
University committed to 100% selective depository status for Georgia documents
2. Progress in Strategic Planning
University Strategic Planning Process.
The Libraries strategic plan was reviewed and adopted by the University’s Office
of Strategic Planning in October 1999. A copy of this plan is included with some slight
modification to costs and timetables.
Report on 2000/2001 Goals

Continue planning for new library space.
 The Regents authorized the use of private funds for an architect to design the
special collections building. Design drawings have been completed (see major
accomplishments).
4
 Milestones for the Student Learning Center include furniture selection,
determining the nature of the book collection in the reading room, and finalizing
staffing and service patterns.

Introduce the Digital Library of Georgia. Stephen Miller joined the faculty as the
program director for this project. In collaboration with GALILEO, books,
manuscripts, radio and television programs, maps, and other materials are being
digitized and made available on the Internet (see major accomplishments).

Integrate local web resources with GALILEO. The University Libraries offer an
increasing variety of electronic resources through the Internet in addition to those
offered by GALILEO. This year, we integrated UGA and GALILEO offerings so
that students and faculty can access all resources from one place.

Evaluate the administrative organization of the Libraries. The Libraries adopted a
flatter organization (see major accomplishments).

Expand collection of electronic publications. 39 new electronic resources were added
in 00/01, which include journals, books, and databases, for a total of 167. Sselect
databases include multiple titles. For example, the EJL (Electronic Journal Locator
currently has 24,458 items of which approximately 18,000 are unique titles.
Goals for 2001/2002

Complete planning for the Student Learning Center. This building will be complete
and occupied by July 2003. Many final decisions on furniture, staffing, equipment,
and program offerings will be completed over the coming year.

Design a wireless network in both the Main Library and the Science Library. A
wireless network would allow students to use portable computers anywhere in these
libraries. In addition, a program to allow students to check-out portable computers to
use in these libraries will be explored.

Continue planning for Special Collections Libraries facility. This building currently
tops the University's list of capital priorities. During the coming year, it will be
important to move it onto the Regents list of projects and to continue raising funds for
construction and endowment.

Complete remodel of the main floor of the Science Library. Thanks to funding from
Physical Plant, the main floor of the science library has been re-tiled, new ceiling tiles
and lighting was also completed (see major accomplishments). Over the coming year,
the rearrangement of the collection and the purchase of new furniture and equipment
will greatly enhance this space.

Expand collection of electronic publications. This is an ongoing goal.

Progress in assessing unit/area effectiveness
Access to More Information. Completed the conversion of GALILEO to version 7
(SiteSearch version 4) with the new homepage becoming the sole access to
GALILEO. Migrated GALILEO participating institutions to the new FirstSearch
interface for 70+ databases. There are now 112 new databases in the GALILEO
menus that are UGA-purchased resources. Completed the first full year of remote
access to GALILEO by all Georgia citizens via public library passwords. Initiated
and completed the DOOR (Database of Online Resources) project. It is currently
in the GALILEO Demo system and will be in the production system this month.
Interlibrary Loan. The Lending Unit increased their fill rate to other libraries from 57%
in FY 2000 to 59% for this year. The Borrowing Unit cut turnaround time for
UGA users’ requests, now averaging 8.4 calendar days (not working days). This
is an improvement from last year’s 9.8 days and a very significant improvement
from the benchmark 14.0 days measured in a 1996 ARL study. Our web-based
request form, electronic payment of fees, electronically transmitted articles,
electronic delivery of articles to patrons along with e-mail notifications, all aided
in significantly shortening turnaround time. The continued increase in requests for
UGA materials demonstrates both how richly our collection is regarded by other
institutions and how responsive ILL Lending is in its commitment to resource
sharing. As a final tribute to our work in the area ILL Department was named the
recipient of the 2001 GOLD Interlibrary Loan Library of The Year Award "in
recognition of service excellence and commitment to resource sharing." This
award is voted by members of GOLD (Georgia Online Database), the statewide
organization of approximately 200 libraries of all types.
Performance Assessment.




With the hire of the Performance Assessment Librarian, Joan Conger, and the
Electronic Resources Coordinator, Dana Walker, we began collecting database
usage statistics from ABC-CLIO, Bell & Howell, ISI, JSTOR, Lexis/Nexis, ISI,
Poole’s Plus, Project Muse, RLG Research Group and SilverPlatter databases.
Continuing to try to procure figures from other vendors.
Conducted an extensive comparison of the journal coverage for Ebsco and
Proquest to assist the GALILEO Collection Development Committee assess the
strengths of each product.
Surveyed 500 south campus faculty and graduate students on their use of the
Electronic Journal Locator and began tracking use of the Electronic Journal
Locator. As a result, designed and programmed a Web-based system for tracking
electronic resource purchases, licensing, and problems.
Departments evaluated the effectiveness of their workflow. In addition, an
internal workflow committee was formed to examine the processing of materials
across department lines. The objective of both activities was to reduce the time it
takes from receipt of material to patron availability and to be more responsive to
patron needs. The result, thus far, has been 1) a new ordering workflow, 2) DLC
6

copy cataloging upon receipt, 3) a new gift books review procedure, 4) extensive
use of SQL and Access to support routine processing tasks and special projects,
and 5) the use of macros. This is an ongoing activity.
Identified the need to develop an assessment strategy for library programs and
services. While relying on national standards such as ARL statistics, we will
need develop our own standards of assessment in areas where there is a lack of a
national standard.
Comparator and Aspirational Institutions. Tables comparing the University Libraries
with our 15 comparator institutions is attached. In summary, the Libraries
consistently rank in the top third of the comparator institutions and in the lower
third against the aspirational institutions. However, even against the aspirational
institutions, the Libraries compares very favorable in its special collections,
ranking 2nd in manuscripts and archives, 2nd in video and film collections, and 5th
in its collection of sound recordings. Clearly, these are areas of remarkable
collection strength.
4. Not applicable
5. Overall health of the Libraries
The following factors will affect the overall health of the Libraries and need to be
monitored closely. (These are essentially the same concerns that were listed last year.)

Cost of books, journals, and electronic resources. More and more electronic
resources are being published every year. However, despite this and despite
the general impression that print is a fading medium, more books are being
published every year. At the same time, the cost of journals continues to
escalate at rates above 10% per year and electronic means of publishing do
not yet provide any relief from these increasing costs. This is an especially
critical problem because the base budget for books and journals was not
increased for FY99, FY00, or FY01. We continue to appreciate the one-time
funding that has been forthcoming from the Provost and appreciate her
continued statements that the library budget for these materials is very
important.

Salaries. According to the most recent survey of the 111 academic library
members of the Association of Research Libraries, the median salary for
librarians at the University of Georgia has dropped from 63rd in FY2000 to
75th in FY2001. It should be pointed out that the overall ranking for the
Libraries is 28th out of these same 111 institutions in the ARL membership
index. It is doubtful that any other unit on campus that ranks this high among
its peers would also rank so low in median salaries compared to the same peer
group. Additional attention to salaries would be welcome before market
pressure begins to hamper recruitment and retention. The same applies to
7
staff salaries as well as librarians. We are looking forward to guidance on this
issue as a result of the Deloitte & Touche report.

Information Technology. All libraries are increasingly reliant upon
information technology and we have been very successful in providing new
electronic resources. This has largely been accomplished through reallocation
and through one-time funds. As with the rest of the campus, information
technology in the Libraries needs more focused and secure funding. The
technology fee will provide considerable relief for technology used directly by
students.

Library Organization. As stated above, after the two Associate University
Librarians left for other positions, we’ve introduced a flatter organization. Our
goal is to have an organization that can quickly identify and respond to
change.

UNIVERSITY LIBRARIES
STRATEGIC PRIORITIES
Consistently ranked in the top 30 of the 110 members of the Association of Research
Libraries, the University Libraries are one of the University’s greatest strengths and a
point of pride. Surveys of students and faculty reveal that the Libraries are held in
high regard and provide outstanding support for instruction, research, and service.
Student Learning Center
Opportunity: The library component of the Student Learning Center will allow us to
improve library services and to build stronger partnerships with faculty and other
campus units, especially UCNS and OISD.
Need: Staff and equipment not covered by the construction budget.
One-time costs: $1,500,000 to fully equip the facility with computer workstations and
associated devices for opening day, July 2003.
On-going costs: 15 FTE new staff positions ($340,000 plus fringe benefits). Maintain
and replace the computer workstations and associated devices ($500,000).
Development: The Libraries have identified $6M in naming opportunities in the
Electronic Teaching Library that could be used to support programs for that
facility.
Special Collections Building
Opportunity: The Special Collections of the University Libraries are a major strength for
the University. In the figures reported to the Association of Research Libraries,
the University Libraries rank 6th out of the 111 members in archive holdings.
Need: Adequate space to house and preserve these expanding collections. The proposed
special collections building, now second on the campus list of capital priorities,
meets this need.
Cost: The new building will cost $36M, with one-third coming from private sources and
the remainder funded through the Regents. As of spring 2001, the Libraries have
raised $8.5M of its $12M goal. The President will present the building for a
second time to the Regents in June 2002.
Development: The Libraries are seeking an additional $12M in private funding for an
endowment to support the collections, related programs, and staffing.
9
The New Collection
Opportunity: The flow of recorded knowledge is as vital to the University as water
and electricity. As the importance of electronic publications increases, the
Libraries are seeking the appropriate balance of print and electronic
publications. It is also supporting attempts to use the Internet to improve
scholarly communication, but these attempts to date have not reduced costs.
Need: The cost of scholarly publications, both print and electronic, continues to
increase each year at a significant rate, especially in bio-medicine and the life
sciences. Other universities, notably Ohio State University, have indexed the
library materials budget to match inflationary costs. We need a similar index
to continue to support instruction and research. Otherwise, we will face an
intellectual brown-out as the flow of recorded knowledge is impeded. (Note:
the library materials budget has not been increased since FY1998.)
Cost: Experience at other Universities over the past few years indicate that an annual
increase of about 5% is needed to keep pace. This would amount to an
increase of about $580,000 based on the FY2002 budget.
Digital Library of Georgia
Opportunity: The technology to create a digital library of text, images, sound, and video
is becoming increasingly powerful. Several projects are already underway.
Need: Funding for staff and equipment.
Cost: The Regents have requested funding for digital library efforts in their FY2002
budget. This funding would be managed by the Regents office, but a significant
portion would cover the expansion of efforts in the University Libraries and make
us a leader in this area.
Development: State funding will be used as matching funds to leverage grants from
federal and private sources whenever possible.
New Media Department and Digital Media Lab
Opportunity: With over 80,000 radio and television programs, the Media Archive and
Peabody Awards Collection is the third largest such collection in the country.
Need: A facility where students and faculty can find sophisticated workstations to view
and use the collection for research and instruction. A new Media Department
and Digital Media Lab should be included in the building that will be constructed
to face the Student Learning Center. The President has stated that he supports
including this facility in this building.
Cost: The space required is about 20,000 square feet and would cost about $4M.
10
Fine Arts Library
Opportunity: When the School of Art occupies its new facility, most of the faculty and
students who use the art and music collections will be grouped together on the
east campus.
Need: A Fine Arts Library located on the east campus. The School of Art, the School of
Music, and the Libraries have proposed that the existing Music Library in the
Music Building be expanded to house such a library.
Cost: $7M to expand the Music Library.
Development: It is anticipated that $2M could be raised privately.
