LSO ROOTS
On November 11, 1955 The enTire sTaff of The MargareT I. King
Library meT and voTed To form a sTaff organizafion. The membership was
volunTary and dues were assessed aT 25 cenTs per year. Dr. Jacqueline
Bull was elecTed as The firsT presidenT and Geraldine Taylor (Webb)
served as The firsT secreTary/Treasurer. The DirecTor of Libraries was
noT eligible for membership. In 1958 a consTiTuTion was drafTed and and
— The official name of The organizaTion adopTed was The UniversiTy of
· KenTucky Library STaff OrganizaTion. This was done in order To make The
_’ organizaTion a vehicle for The enTire sTaff of The Library SysTem.
A The Library Sfaff OrganizaTion served many roles. IT served The
I Tradifional social role and gave sTaff members an opporTuniTy To meeT
9 wiTh one anoTher ouTside of The work aTmosphere. IT also served The
. role as The offical represenTaTive of The sTaff To boTh The Library and
Y UniverslTy adminisTraTions. Mixed in wiTh programs of boTh a
I professional and recreaTional naTure were concerns abouT working
condifions, salaries, and The sTaff lounge. The Library STaff
S Organizafion worked hard To beTTer The loT of The sTaff members in The
L Library SysTem during The 1950's and 1960's.
A During The 1970’s The LSO drifTed. The Library FaculTy and ACTS
¤ Took up The daily concerns of The sTaff in The working environmenT. The
? social funcTion was frowned upon and more emphasis was puT on
work—relaTed kinds of programs. The LSO filled This role for a Time buT
I was soon duplicaTing work done by The Library Facu|Ty STaff Developmenf
CommiTTee and ACTS EducaTi0nal CommiTTee. IT seemed ThaT The LSO did
. noT have a place in The Library SysTem and membership dropped.
The LSO has Taken on a new look for The i980's. We are purely a
social group and noT afraid To admiT iT. We are here To provide
everyone wiTh The opporTuniTy To meeT Their fellow sTaff members ouTside
of The working environmenT. Our programs will be mixed buT mosT of Them
will noT be work-relafed buT of general inTeresT To some people. We are
a supporT group To The various commiTTees To provide an opporTuniTy for
people To mingle when They aTTend oTher library funcTions. We are here
for The enTire sTaff. IT makes no difference wheTher you join LSO or
noT. Granfed, Those paying dues will geT some benefifs; affer all They
are financially supporTing The organizaTion (we need money To offer our
evenTs and The only way To make money is To have some working capiTa|).
Everyone on The library sTaff is encouraged To aTTend any program In
which They are inTeresTed and To submiT maTerial for The WAX BEAN. We
wanT To know abouT you and your concerns and see your face aT LSO
funcfions. We are here for The enTire sTaff and we hope you will Take
advanfage of some of The Things we do wheTher you are a member or noT.
