King Library Barcoding Project
L The King barcoding project was conducted January 10-13, with
_ ‘ around 180 workers contributing to the effort. 0f the 180, about
lMO_ were library staff from King and some branch and -associate
libraries. The remaining M0 were volunteers from the teaching
faculty, Library Associates, and Donovan Scholars Program.
The results of the project were quite remarkable. Approximately.
115,000 barcodes were handled in the three day period--an average
t of about, 6,u00 per hour. An estimated 80,000 barcodes were
· actually applied to books. The remaining 20% of the total were
held for books in circulation or for some problem detected during
the project. The entire LC collection and several high—use areas
of the Dewey collection were covered. The Circulation Department
is now searching for the "leftovers" and finding about 2/3 of
them now in the stacks.
_ Another noteworthy statistic--around 12,800 problem forms were »
filled out by workers in the project. Many of these reflected
books tnot on the shelf, but others described a variety of
problems encountered. These forms will be very useful ,to· the
Cataloging Department in locating bibliographic problems in the
LS2000 database during system implementation. - _
From -the barcoding planning group, a big THANK YOU to all who
worked» so hard and enthusiastically to make the project. a
,· success. ‘ (Gail Kennedy)

' UK LIBRARY SYSTEM
E The following is the third part of a special 9-part series drawn
2 .from Mary Ruth Brown's article in The Encyclopedia of Library and
? Information Science. _’
EQ History of the Libraries: Buildings A
tg The first library building, always referred to as the Carnegie
{ Building, was opened for public use in 1909. Funds for its
$» ` construction were obtained as a gift from Andrew Carnegie through
Q the efforts of James K. ` Patterson, university president.
Q ‘President Patterson had his executive office in the- building,
Q ‘ while Miss _Margaret King, his secretary, had custody of the
Q books. By 1930, with a collection of more than 100,000 volumes,
Q, older materials were housed in two storage areas--one beneath the
** football stadium and_the other on the second floor of the mining
py building. Physical arrangement of the building was such that
gf students -had open access to the collection until 1931 when the "
$* library moved into a new building with closed stacks. V
gm
im Completed at a cost of $M30,000, the new University of Kentucky
MT _ Library was officially named for Margaret I. King in l9U8. It
QQ was of Georgian architecture and consisted of four floors and a ‘
tm basement. A stack section with eight levels was located in a
REQ separate portion of the building. ‘
HA
QQY The various reading rooms provided seating space for more _than
`y=‘ 500 persons while the stack area was designed to house' 200,000
%§ Vvolumes with ease. Within the next 30 years seating space was
L{ gradually appropriated for housing of the collection and once
§{ again library materials were being housed in storage areas in
%j other buildings. _ »
mg. In 1962 the first addition to the King Library was completed and
@1 the original quarters were remodeled. This new physical plant
Hg, provided vastly better heating, lighting, ventilation, and
%; electrical wiring. With 200 graduate carrels and 50 faculty .
lg; studies, -faci1ities were better than ever before in the history
%* of the library. Such relative1y_generous,provision was not made

@t In the opinion of the library director, the new facility was too
MK late and too small. He emphasized that preparations should begin
@· immediately for a second addition of 100,000 square feet by 1970.
%g*l Not until 12 years later, and under a different director, did the
