Annual Report of Institutional Progress
University Libraries
University of Georgia
2001-2002
1. Summary of Major Accomplishments
Student Learning Center. Construction of the Student Learning Center continues with
occupancy expected during the upcoming academic year. To assist in planning
for the operation of this building, a Student Learning Center Partnership Support
Group has been formed, representing the units that will actually occupy the
building including staff from the Vice President for Instruction, EITS, the
Libraries, OISD, and Student Affairs.
Special Collections Libraries Building. The Board of Regents added this building to their
list of major capital projects at their meeting June 11, 2002. In addition, the
Governor and the Legislature provided special planning funds for this project.
This building will cost $36M, with the Libraries raising one-third. To date, we
have raised $8.6M.
Development. The Libraries continue to make substantial progress in fund raising. This
past year, commitments and collections totaling $3,140,486 were received, a
significant increase over the previous year.
Electronic Reserves. This year, the Libraries began to offer a service to scan materials that
faculty request and place them into an electronic database available to students
enrolled in a given course. This new service has been very well received by
faculty and by students.
Increased Use of the Libraries. Circulation of library collections increased by 27% over the
previous year 451,637 and the number of people coming into the Main and the Science
Libraries increased by 14% to almost 1,600,000. At the same time, the use of electronic
resources continues to increase. While some have predicted that use of the physical
library would decrease with the advent of the virtual library, that is not the case.
Increased Efficiency in Acquiring/Cataloging Books. Following a revamping of
workflow, turnaround times for ordering, receiving, and cataloging books has
improved dramatically.
Improved Collection Control. Through a pair of projects, the Libraries have provided
improved access to its physical holdings. We added over 34,000 records of our
serial holdings to a statewide database thus making it easier for other Georgia
libraries to borrow materials from us. We also redirected salary savings into a
special project that greatly improved inventory control of the collection.
2
Electronic Theses and Dissertations. Working with the Graduate School, the Libraries
now accept theses and dissertations in electronic format. These will be cataloged
and made available through the online catalog.
New Online Databases. The Libraries continue to add new online databases and
electronic resources.
Digital Library of Georgia. This is a joint project with GALILEO that digitizes and
makes available books and primary sources that are important to Georgia history.
Selected collections added this past year include Joseph Henry Lumpkin Family
Papers, Baldy Editorial Cartoons, History of the University of Georgia by
Thomas Walter Reed, Cornelius C. Platter Civil War Diary, Barnard’s
Photographic Views of the Sherman Campaign, and Robert E. Williams
Photographic Collection: African-Americans in the Augusta, Ga. Vicinity ca.
1872-1898.
Federal Publications. As the regional depository for federal documents for Georgia, we
were responsible for developing a new plan for how these documents are
collected and stored by libraries throughout the state. This plan was approved in
June 2002.
Georgia Writers’ Hall of Fame. This program was formally dedicated in a ceremony
attended by more than 100 guests including distinguished family and friends of
the honored authors and guest speaker Provost Karen Holbrook. The event
received news coverage in and out of Georgia.
Training. The Libraries offered almost 60 training programs to staff this year. Also of
note were the invitation by the Board of Regents to host two sessions on
document retention schedules for north central Georgia libraries; and the
invitation to conduct a workshop on facilitation skills for the staff of the library at
Columbus State University.
Interlibrary Lending and Borrowing. The richness of the UGA collection continues to
be reflected in a comparison of our lending/borrowing ratios. We continue to lend
more items than we borrow by a ratio of 5 to 1.
Map Collection. Map and air photo circulation increased by 10,000 items this year after
doubling the year before. This is being driven by commercial firms making heavy
use of this collection for planning real estate developments and other projects.
Media Department and Archives. Screenings of significant programs from the Media
Archives were held in conjunction with other units on campus.
Foot Soldier Project. In partnership with several departments on campus, the Richard B.
Russell Library has undertaken a project to document the lives of people who
3
worked on the front lines of the Civil Rights Movement. President Adams
provided a Venture Grant to complete documentation on Hamilton Holmes.
Baldy Cartoon Database. A large collection of cartoons from the collection of Clifford
Baldowski has been digitized by the Russell Library and made available through
the Digital Library of Georgia.
Legends of the Deadball Era. An exhibit based around the baseball card collection of
Senator Russell has received wide coverage and proved to be very popular.
Electronic Journals. The Electronic Journal Locator, a list of electronic journals offered
by the Libraries, increased from 25,700 entries in FY01 to 31,600 entries in
FY02, a 23% increase.
Access to Electronic Resources. A pilot project to integrate the databases offered by
GALILEO with those offered by the University Libraries has been successful and
is being improved and expanded to other libraries.
Wireless Network. Using funds from the Student Technology Fee, wireless local area
networks are being established in the Main and Science Libraries. In addition,
twenty laptops have been purchased for students to check out and use with the
wireless network.
2. Progress in Strategic Planning
Relation to University Strategic Plan
Following is a brief report on the progress of the University’s strategic plan in
relation to the Libraries, referenced by page number to the University’s plan.
“A library of the highest quality.” (p. 7)
Despite the financial problems facing the University and the state, the library has been
able to maintain the same levels of collection growth and service while at the same time
adding electronic resources, notably electronic journals. This has been possible through
the use of one-time funding and the re-allocation of resources.
“Strategic Direction 1 – Building the New Learning Environment” (p. 14 & p. 17)
 Electronic Teaching Library – This is a major component of the new Student
Learning Center which will open in 2003. Funding for additional staff is needed late
in FY2003, as is funding from the Student Technology Fee for computer workstations.
 There are over $6M in naming opportunities in the Electronic Teaching Library. To
date, these have resulted in about $150,000 in pledges and numerous proposals have
been placed before prospective donors. We should have greater success as the
building nears completion and prospective donors can view the interior.
4


Digital Media Lab – This facility was originally planned for the Student Learning
Center but was cut for budget reasons. The President has expressed interest in
finding space for it in a future building.
The Student Learning Center with its classrooms and the Electronic Teaching Library
will alter the nature of undergraduate instruction at UGA. The Provost has asked the
Vice President for Instruction, the University Librarian, the Chief Information
Officer, the Vice President for Student Affairs, and the Director of the Office of
Instructional Support and Design to constitute a steering committee for this building.
Special Collections Libraries Building (p. 11)
 The University Libraries are committed to raise $12M in private funds, or one-third
of the cost, toward the construction of this building. To date, $8.6M has been raised.
 The University Libraries are also raising a $10M endowment to support the building.
To date, $2.3M has been raised or pledged.
 Preliminary design of this building was undertaken in FY2001 using private funds.
 The Governor and the Legislature included $240,000 for the design of this building in
the FY2002 supplemental budget. This funding will be combined with private funds
to advance and refine the design of the building.
 President Adams presented this building to the Board of Regents in June 2002 and
they added it to the Regents list of capital projects. This ensures that it will be funded
as the state and the Regents work through this prioritized list.
Research Investment – Building the Collection (p. 22)
 This planning priority calls for the Library Materials Budget to be treated as a utility
and receive a 5% increase to the base budget each year to cover inflationary increases
in the costs of journals and other publications.
 To date, this has not happened and the budget remains at the FY1998 level.
 One-time funding has carried us through, but the gap between the budget and the
amount needed to continue our current level of acquisitions is widening to nearly
$2M. It is becoming increasingly difficult to close this gap with one-time funds.
 One-time funding from the Student Technology Fee and other sources should allow
the continued flow of books, journals, and electronic resources in FY2003. However,
inflationary pressure continues and, should the one-time funding disappear, we could
be forced to reduce purchasing by up to 20%. This would greatly restrict access to
scientific and scholarly communication for our students and faculty.
 For FY2003, the University was able to restore the 5% reduction set by the Governor,
restoring the base budget to its FY2002 level.
Report on University Libraries 2001/2002 Goals

Complete planning for the Student Learning Center. Planning for the library
component is essentially complete. A “partnership” of staff from the Libraries, EITS,
OISD, and Student Affairs is meeting regularly to discuss operational issues.

Design a wireless network in both the Main Library and the Science Library. Initial
systems were funded by the Student Technology Fee and are being installed.
5

Continue planning for Special Collections Libraries Building. The Board or Regents
added this building to their list of capital projects at their June 2002 meeting. Fund
raising continues and the Governor and Legislature have appropriated funding for
design.

Complete remodel of the main floor of the Science Library. Much of the collection on
the main floor has been distributed to the upper floors, creating a more open space
with room for study and for using electronic resources.

Expand collection of electronic publications. The Libraries now spend over $1M per
year on electronic publications, an increase of 17% over the previous year.
University Libraries Goals for 2002/2003

Consider the right size for the Library Materials Budget. Despite welcome
allocations of one-time funds, the gap between the base allocation and the amount
needed to maintain current levels of acquisitions and services continues to grow.

Occupy the library component of the Student Learning Center. When this building is
occupied in 2003, the nature of library services will change dramatically.

Continue design of the Special Collections Libraries Building. Using funds
appropriated by the Governor and Legislature, and supplemented by private funds,
plans for this building will be advanced to the Design Development level.

Identify and implement appropriate assessment tools. Tools for improved assessment
of library services and collections are now available, e.g., LIBQUAL.

Investigate software to enhance access to electronic resources. Software is becoming
available that will allow searching across multiple databases, instead of conducting
many consecutive searches, and also will provide linking from citations in one
database to the full text in another.
3. Progress in assessing unit/area effectiveness
Increased Use of the Libraries. As mentioned above, circulation of library collections increased
by 27% over the previous year (from 356,374 to 451,637) and the number of people
coming into the Main and the Science Libraries increased by 14% to almost 1,600,000.
Increasing use would suggest increased effectiveness. Evidence suggests that use is
increasing because we are improving the ease of use.
Reference Questions Asked. Th number of reference questions asked at the public service
desks remains steady, despite the increased availability of electronic services.
6
Increased Efficiency. Through workflow analysis, we are reducing the number of days it
takes to order, receive, and catalog books and other materials. For example, it
now takes less than 5 days to order or receive a book. The time to catalog an item
has also improved dramatically.
Use of Electronic Journals by Faculty. A survey of faculty in the sciences and social
sciences revealed that the electronic journals offered by the Libraries are being
heavily used. Faculty responded that their use of journals breaks down roughly
into thirds: one-third to the library print copy, one-third to the library electronic
version, and one-third to their own or departmental copy. This is remarkable in
that earlier studies have invariably found a much higher reliance on personal and
departmental copies. This suggests that the electronic versions provided by the
libraries match personal copies in convenience and thus are used heavily.
Interlibrary Borrowing. Borrowing turn-around time for books and copies (measuring from
when the user submits a request until the material arrives in our library) was
shortened to an average of 7.4 calendar days from the 8.4 calendar days reported
last year. Photocopies of journal articles and book chapters had the best record—
6.25 calendar days. This is due to the ability to receive copies electronically and
to pay (when necessary) electronically. This has been especially effective when
dealing with our increasing trade with foreign countries such as China, Denmark,
and Australia. Borrowing delivery time of copies to our users was also improved
since we can electronically forward articles to the student or faculty member
instead of relying on Campus or USPS mail.
Expenditures for Electronic Resources. Expenditures for electronic journals and other e-
resources increased by 17% to $1,072,006. Given the lack of a budget increase
since FY98, this increase either reallocation of use of one-time funds. Usage of
these resources is increasing dramatically.
4. Retention and Graduation Rates -- Not applicable
5. Overall health of the Libraries
Library Collections. Total holdings surpassed 3.8M volumes, placing the Libraries 36th
among the 111 academic members of the Association of Research Libraries
(ARL).
ARL Ranking. The Libraries ranked 29th in ARL membership index, a loss of one
position.
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
7
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,
FY01, or FY02. We continue to appreciate the one-time funding that has been
forthcoming from the University Administration.

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 29th
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 staff salaries as well as librarians.

Staff Turnover. Staff turnover has improved over the previous year. In FY01, the
Libraries hired 91 staff and saw 41 leave. In FY02, the figures are 36 hired and
33 left. Of those that left, only two cited dissatisfaction with their situation. Most
left because of a life or career change. Lower turnover is likely tied to the slow
economy.
