RECYCLING
Bins to receive paper for recycling have now been placed in strategic
locations throughout the library. Stipulations are —— no staples and
no carbon paper. Card stock in large quantities should be batched.
Any questions concerning the project may be directed to Karin Sandvik
in Tech Services.
INTERLIBRARY LOAN DEPARTMENT
Effective December 2, 1974, the Interlibrary Loan unit in Reference
will become a separate department. Following the installation of
SOLINET terminals (scheduled for late February) interlibrary loan
activities are expected to increase significantly. The University
of Kentucky Libraries will also become a clearinghouse for expensive
materials purchased by the state-assisted college and university
libraries in Kentucky. The State Assisted Academic Council of
Kentucky and the Council on Public Higher Education Library Services
Study Group are exploring ideas for further cooperation among the
state supported libraries in Kentucky. Many of these activities will
be coordinated for U.K. by Interlibrary Loan.
It is possible also that access to national data bases such as CAIN,
ERIC, etc. might at some time be centralized for the King Library
system in the Interlibrary Loan Department.
Mr. Harry Gilbert will head the Interlibrary Loan Department effec-
tive December 2. John Bryant will assume direct responsibility for
the activities in the Acquisitions Department. ·

WHAT IS RLG3 “ ‘ I `»
RLG (Research Libraries Group) is another consortium consisting of -
major libraries in the New York area. Included are Harvard, Yale,
Columbia, and New York Public Library. One of the controversial `
things about the consortium is the fact that the libraries have -
agreed to engage in copying rather than buying duplicate sets and
serials. A

WANT TO PUBLISH?
"Garland is a young (four years old, to be exact) publisher that has
heretofore published scholarly reprint series. Recently, however,
we launched a rather ambitious new program to publish original ref-
erence works, mainly bibliographies. We have about twenty-seven
under contract and will publish the first seven or eight this fall
(we have previously published only one, William Ward's two—volume
bibliography, Literary Reviews in British Periodicals, 1798-1820,
and it has done very well). 4

I know that reference librarians are one good source of bibliogra-
phies and checklists, and we would be most grateful if you would
let your readers know that we would be delighted to consider for
publication any projects they may have in mind or are now working
on. We offer good royalties and distribution throughout the world.
Many thanks for your help. Peter Kemeny, Editor-in—Chief."

MEMORANDUM: C _,. · é'. _ »·_·
TO:-G -Library Staff an ‘ ‘
FROM: M.R.A.P. Chairperson `» V 2 `
SUBJECT: A Progress Report V .
The decision to enter into an A.R.L. Library-Management Review and
Analysis Program was made after reviewing-the Library needs and on
orientating the staff extensively.~ . r I
The orientation: V V"
Duane Webster from the Association of Research Libraries Manage-
ment Office in Washington visited the University and spent con-
siderable time explaining M.R.A.P. to the Library staff. Jerome
Yarvarkoosky discussed the implications of the now famous Booze
Allen Study made at Columbia University. A representative group
from the Library went to Knoxville to a workshop describing the
University of Tennessee's M.R.A.P. study and the results to
date. Later Keith Cottam of Tennessee spoke to the entire pro-
fessional staff at Berea late this summer.
In August the Director chose John Bryant as the Chairperson and later
after much consideration and consultation with the Associate and
Assistant Directors chose a study team representing many levels and
areas of the Library system and one faculty member. A
Manuals and other support materials were sent from the Management
Office for the use of the team and the various task forces. The
team has gathered additional reading materials and data to support
the study.
The team meets regularly at 1:30 each Tuesday afternoon with addi-
tional meetings scheduled when necessary. Special committees are
established within the study team to perform tasks during the first
three phases of the study.
Activities to date:
The Chairperson attended an orientation meeting in Washington,
August 22-25 with chairpersons from the six other research
libraries participating in M.R.A.P. this year. The study team
began its regular meetings the following week. The initial
meetings included a thorough orientation and the design of a
work plan. On September 26 the Director gave the mission and
overall objectives of the Library to the study team. The
mission: The basic mission of the University Libraries is to
provide bibliographical, physical, and intellectual access to
recorded knowledge and information consistent with the present
and anticipated instructional, research, and service responsi-
bilities of the University of Kentucky. (Objectives to be
studied in phase III will be given in the next progress report.)

The first product of consequence from the team was the Initial
. ‘ M.R.A.P. Survey. This survey was given to Department Heads for
the following purposes: ·
l. To secure views of trends and developments that are affect-
ing Library operations.
2. To secure information on specific changes occuring in the
Library.
3. To alert the administration to the areas that will be
examined by the study team and to solicit their view on what
the team should be concerned with in these areas.
The survey was completed, analyzed, and has now been summarized.
Based on the responses from the Department Heads the team has
now produced a survey tailored especially for the staff at M.I.K
It is in the third draft and should be in your hands within the
week. The entire staff will have an opportunity to react to the
statement and give additional direction to the study team.
Present activities: i
The study team is well into Phase II on Environmental Analysis,
attempting to determine implications of major technological,
professional, and higher education trends for the Library. A
list of trends have been given in the manual; the team has been
adding more recent trends to the list, modifying or deleting
those trends which we feel are not applicable to this institu-
tion.
what to expect in the near future: a summary report of the Depart-
ment Heads survey, and a detailed report from the staff survey. The
next phase will be to review the University Programs and Library
Objectives. January will begin Phase IV at which time we will begin
selecting task forces to study those areas that have been identified
for study.
The study team has kept regular communications open to the staff
through the Green Bean and will continue to do so. We are available
to discuss our activities with you, and as the staff becomes more
involved we will schedule a series of meetings in the staff lounge
for discussions on M.R.A.P. An M.R.A.P. suggestion box has been
placed in the staff lounge of M.I.K. North.
