Margaret Myers Addre§se§~Library Staff
Ms. Margaret Myers, Director of the Office for Personnel Resources
- at ALA Headquarters in Chicago, was the guest speaker at the ll
March Staff Organization meeting. Ms. Myers‘ topic was "Change,
and how to cope with it". She pointed out that change is
inherently neither good nor bad, but simply inevitable. There
are three factors which will induce change in the U.K. Libraries
in the next year: the retirement of several people who head
important units, automation, and the implementation of MRAP. T
Ms. Myers emphasized preparation as the key to successful change.
It is the responsibility of management to plan carefully and
to keep the staff fully informed. It is the responsibility
of staff members to prepare for change by sharpening and ex-
panding their skills. This may be accomplished by volunteering
for committees and task forces, by job exchanging or continuing
education. E
;U;nwaMtime_of_change it is of utmost importance to keep all
revenues of communication open; all members of an organization
should feel free to express differences of opinion.
- Serials Coordination Project ‘ I
At the meeting of Hamlin, Willis, O'Hara, Powell, McDowell and
Jones, the latter four met to discuss operational details of
coordinating serials purchases and cancellations among Medical
Center Library, Agriculture Library and King Library and its
branches.

 -2-
It was decided that any unit seeking to cancel a title would
coordinate its decisions with the other appropriate unit(s)
if there were a question of proper location for a unique jour-
nal on campus. Each unit would also feel free to call upon
the others to purchase a needed journal if another location
appeared more appropriate. Also, any unit would be free to
check with another regarding purchase of a monograph in an
overlapping subject. ‘
Rather than formalizing such procedures, it was decided too that
each unit seeking to purchase or cancel a title would exercise
its own initiative, informally checking with the others.

Lexington, Louisville Newspaper Indexes at MIK:
Partial indexes to Lexington and Louisville newspapers are now
available at MIK Reference and Newspapers/Microtexts departments.
In Reference, articles appearing in the Courier-Journal since
mid—1974 have been indexed on cards giving the title, author, and
page number. The complete articles can be viewed in the News-
papers/Microtexts Room. In addition to the Courier-Journal card
index, there is a vertical file of articles clipped from the Kernel
and the Communi-K.
Also in the Reference vertical file are articles clipped from the
Lexington Herald and Leader and the Louisville Courier—Journal
prior to m1d—1974.
The Reference indexes provide comprehensive coverage of Kentucky
» and UK news; also indexes are topics of current interest such as —
the environment and pollution, consumer protection, and women in
society. ·
In Newspapers/Microtexts a partial index has been kept since 1974
(with some references from 1973 and 1972). The Bettye Lee Mastin
columns, for example, are indexed from 1972 with added entries ’
under the people and/or places about which she has written. The
Newspapers/Microtexts card index emphasizes news of the Bluegrass
area although itincludedsome regional items such as coal, Red
River Gorge and Dam, and Cumberland Falls.

In the preliminary discussions of a King Library inventory, it came
to the attention of the Committee that staff members may have unchargei
books in their areas.
Of course this is not a good habit at any time, but we would especkdly
like to ask everyone to please check their desks and shelves now for
uncharged items and return them promptly to circulation.
It is our current practice to replace on demand books presumed misshmp
Uncharged items can be needlessly duplicated. ` “
Thank you.

CONGRESSIONAL QUARTERLY, INC. Congressional Quarterly's Guide to
U.S. Elections. Washington, D.C.: Congressional Quarterly, 1 75.
For the political scientist and historian, or those simply interested  
in fascinating trivia, the Congressional Quarterly organization has
recently published another excellent reference tool. Guide to U.S.
Elections provides election data on political parties and presidential, I
Senate, House and gubernatorial races. Far from simply being a .
compilation of statistics, the Guide includes a complete list of all _
senators since 1789 with footnotes explaining vacancies, disputed
elections, resignations and short terms; capsule biographies of
candidates for President and Vice President; reference to more than  
500 political parties and much more information on the history of
U.S. elections. A A

UK Sick—Leave, Maternity—Leave Policies Change: ·g »
University Personnel has modified the sick leave and maternity; _
leave policies. The major changes and new procedures are as y

ternity leave is treated as any other temporary disability (ill-
ness). The maximum accumulated sick leave a woman may use for
maternity leave is 30 days (more if there are complications; the
. old limit was 24 days). There is no longer a two year employment
requirement to take maternity leave. · · _
2. Sick leave is not to extend beyond the period of time covered
by accumulated sick leave (paid) or 90 calendar days (unpaid
leave), whichever is greater. ~ ; r
3. Sick leave may be used for medical or dental appointments. __
4. Employees who separate from the University and then are re-
employed by the University within one year may ask to have prior
unused sick leave reinstated. Requests should be made to the
Library Director's Office.
