Chris Johanson and Anne Stiles were not acquainted, though they may have

unknowingly crossed paths at UCLA, Chris while working on his doctorate in

classics and Anne while completing her PhD in English. Both avid library users,

their research utilized UCLA Library resources and services that hearken back

to the traditional library of wood-paneled walls and book-lined shelves, yet

fully embrace the present and future library of electronic collections and

off-site online access.

Even if Chris and Anne never crossed paths in person, they do in these pages,

for we’ve used their experiences to illustrate the UCLA Library’s accomplishments

during 2005-06. Their majors alone suggest certain preconceptions of which

libraries they frequented and how they used library materials. But as the following

pages show, those preconceptions are likely to be misleading. Though Chris’s

research focuses on a second-century-BC Roman, what he’s created with what he has found may surprise you.

And Anne’s interest in literature that ref lects the history of neurology took her to a library not often thought

of for its humanities collections.

Whether they’re leafing through a manuscript or clicking a computer mouse, Chris, Anne, and the millions

of other library visitors – in person and online – remind us of what a difficult and extraordinary feat it is to

build world-class library collections. The Oxford English Dictionary defines “far-sighted” as “looking far before

one; forecasting, shrewd, prudent.” I define it as “collection development librarian,” the talented and thought-

ful individuals who build library collections with one eye on the present and the other on the future.

The sheer magnitude of the task is daunting. Think of the countless items published each year, then add to

that the rare and unique materials offered only through auctions, specialty vendors, or private transactions.

And don’t forget items that are only available in their countries of origin, necessitating regular trips by UCLA

librarians and in-depth knowledge of local sources. And all of their judgments must be balanced by an evalua-

tion of the worth of a given item not only to the students and scholars of today but also those of tomorrow.

The adjective “far-sighted” is equally descriptive of the Library’s many generous donors, who are listed in

the Donor Honor Roll beginning on page eighteen. Though the Library receives substantial funding from the

state, many purchases of opportunity, such as those described on page ten, are possible only because of your

invaluable contributions. Along with my heartfelt thanks, I offer you the gratification of seeing Chris and Anne

find the materials they need to launch them on their academic careers, an accomplishment your support has

helped to make possible.

Letterfrom the

UniversityLibrarian


For a start, that they cover an extensive period of time, span the globe, and

contain a wide variety of materials. More importantly, that no matter how old

the subject, they become as contemporary and relevant as today when they’re

essential to a scholar’s research.

First case in point: Chris Johanson. Chris has a foot in two departments:

the UCLA Department of Classics, where he is working on his doctorate, and

the university’s Experiential Technologies Center, where he is associate director.

He also has a foot in two worlds: the ancient Rome of 160 BC and a virtual

world in which he has recreated ceremonial spaces of the Roman Republic.

All of these worlds intersect in the person of Lucius Aemilius Paullus, a distin-

guished Roman general, consul, and censor whose funeral procession in 160 BC

is the subject of Chris’s dissertation. Though the dissertation will be a traditional,

printed volume, Chris is using technology to recreate the Roman ceremonial

and political spaces that featured in Paullus’s funeral because this recreation

offers him a different way to examine questions about the purposes and aims

of such spectacles.

What can a second-century-BC Roman

and a nineteenth-century American tell

us about UCLA Library collections?


ARTS LIBRARYSPECIAL COLLECTIONS

Collection of artists booksThe Arts Library began collectingartists’ books in 1985 with a largepurchase from noted Los Angelescollector Judith A. Hoffberg. Pro-ceeds from the Cornelia BreitenbachMemorial Fund in the Arts supporteda recent purchase from her collec-tion, and Hoffberg also donatedseveral artists’ books by Ed Ruscha.

Book artist Stephen Sidelingerdraws on varied disciplines to tocreate unique, hand-bound booksof contemporary illuminated manu-scripts, which often include elabo-rate fine embroidery. He donated

beautiful visuals, nineteenth-centuryworks by English and French ornitho-logists, and miniature bird books.

The Ralph R. and Patricia N.Sonnenschein Medals Collectionand EndowmentRalph Sonnenschein, MD, PhD, andUCLA professor emeritus of physio-logy, first became interested in scien-tific portrait medals while workingin London, when his wife, Pat, foundan old medal of Joseph Priestley at af lea market and gave it to him. Thecollection now numbers more thantwo thousand pieces, and the accom-panying $25,000 endowment willallow it to continue to grow.

His re-creation is complicated by the fact that any existing remains lie buried

deep in the earth. The ruins visitors see today are from Imperial Rome, the city

of Julius Caesar and Augustus, but the Republican Rome in which Paullus lived

and died is several hundred years older. Thus, Chris turned to the resources

of the UCLA Library to help fill out the picture. Just one of the invaluable texts

he consulted is Rome antique au IVe siecle ap. J.C. by Paul Bigot, which documents

Bigot’s own attempt to build a physical scale model of ancient Rome.

Second case in point: Anne Stiles, who earned her doctorate in English at

UCLA in 2006. Anne’s interests lie in late-Victorian and Edwardian literature

Major Multi-Volume Sets: donatedby China’s Ministry of Education,two hundred volumes on ChineseConfucianism and one hundred vol-umes of Chinese reference works;donated by the East China NormalUniversity Press, sixty titles and thepromise of its new publications;donated by Ronald Y. Otsuka, theTamotsu Gomi Library of more thanfive hundred titles including transla-tions of American and European

and the history of science, and one place where those areas intersect is in

the person of Silas Weir Mitchell, a nineteenth-century American physician.

Dr. Mitchell’s medical speciality was neurology, and he pioneered the use

of the rest cure for nervous disorders such as hysteria. However, Dr. Mitchell’s

talents were not only medical, they were also literary - while working at a

hospital in Philadelphia during the Civil War, he submitted his first short story,

“The Case of George Dedlow,” to the Atlantic Monthly. Framed as a doctor’s notes

on an interesting case, the story utilizes both physiological and psychological

elements to tell a vivid Civil War tale. The doctor/author successfully combined

both careers for the rest of his life, publishing medical papers at the same time

as novels, short stories, and poetry.

Dr. Mitchell fit neatly into the subject of Anne’s dissertation topic, Neurological

Fictions: Brain Science and Literary History, 1865-1905, which focuses on works by Robert

Louis Stevenson, Bram Stoker, and H.G. Wells. For the chapter Mitchell shares

with Stoker, Anne consulted the S. Weir Mitchell Collection in the Louise M.

Darling Biomedical Library History and Special Collections. Presented to the

library in the early 1950s by Dr. Elmer Belt, the collection includes all of

Mitchell’s published works.

The sources that Chris and Anne relied upon illustrate one of the guiding prin-

ciples of research library collection management, which is that librarians build

collections to support instruction and research both of the present and of the

Digital materials make up anincreasing share of librarycollections and offer a num-ber of advantages over phys-ical items. Chief among these is ease ofaccess: users on campus or across thecountry can do everything from readingjournals to reviewing photographs online.

Looking at materialslike maps and foliosonline is often mucheasier than physicallyhandling unwieldly,oversized sheets. Withdigital surrogates it’salso possible to viewspecific aspects ingreater detail than withthe original document.

But the challenges areconsiderable. One isthe issue of persist-ence. When the Library

purchases a print issue of a journal, itowns that issue - and users can consultit - in perpetuity. With an electronicjournal, however, the Library licenses

access to its contents for the term ofthe license, at the end of which, unlessthe license is renewed, access is termi-nated. To avoid this, the Library carefullyreviews the terms of licenses and nego-tiates with publishers to ensure thataccess to the licensed content is main-tained even if a subscription to subse-quent content is canceled.

Another challenge is the U.S. CopyrightAct. The act currently restricts the abilityof libraries to make digital content avail-able outside its physical premises, whichobviously cancels out one of its greatadvantages. In concert with the campus,the Library already uses technology tolimit access to licensed resources toUCLA students, faculty, and staff; withthis in mind, in April 2006 University

Digital Collections Capture Yesterday and Today

Managing Intellectual Property

The online environment is both part of the problem and part of the solution when it comes to the free f low of scholarly infor-mation. The Web offers immense possibilities in terms of making research articles and other scholarly output available broadly,but serious limitations are posed by economic factors, including rapidly escalating journal prices; copyright restrictions that requireauthors to assign copyright for published works to the publisher and limit authors’ ability to share their work in other forms andthrough other outlets; and the tenure process, which values publication in historically prestigious journals, regardless of their priceor copyright policy, over alternative, often more cost-effective, peer-reviewed outlets.

To focus faculty attention on these issues and outline concrete steps they can each take, the Library hosted the seminar “ManagingIntellectual Property: What Faculty Need to Know to Publish and Teach in the Digital Age” in November 2005. Nearly 150 attendeeslistened to keynote speaker James Hilton, then associate provost for academic, information, and instructional technology affairs andinterim university librarian at the University of Michigan, outline copyright myths and realities. They then attended breakout sessionswhere they could ask campus experts about using copyrighted materials for courses, managing their own copyrights, increasing theimpact of their scholarship through the Web, and meeting new requirements for disseminating research findings.

future. Identifying current needs

is simple compared to the judg-

ment involved in projecting

potential needs, which requires

that a librarian deciding whether to acquire an item consider not only its impor-

tance today but also its relevance and usefulness five, or fifty, years from now.

When Bigot’s book was acquired or when Dr. Belt gave the Mitchell collection,

their immediate usefulness may not have been evident. But their importance

to Chris and Anne, and likely to countless other researchers in the intervening

years, is unquestionable. To see highlights of just a few of the thousands of items

the Library acquired for current and future scholars during the 2005-06 fiscal

year, please see the sidebar below and the following pages.

Librarian Gary E. Strong submitted com-ments to a study group and the CopyrightOffice of the Library of Congress urgingthat the act be revised to reconceptualize“premises” in the digital age.

Strong’s comments also cited an examplefrom California’s November 2005 specialelection to urge that the Copyright Actbe revised to permit archiving of contentthat exists only on the Web. Immediatelyfollowing the election, Governor ArnoldSchwarzenegger’s campaign staff called to

ask if the Library had captured the entireblog section of the campaign Web site;apparently they had accidentally deletedall the information on their servers.Because the managers of the Library’sOnline Campaign Literature Archive hadsaved some of the contents, they wereable to provide the governor’s staff witha copy of a portion – though not all, dueto the technical limitations of capturesoftware – of this unique and valuablehistorical record.

During the 2005-06 fiscal year, there were

more than five million visits to the UCLA Library

homepage. Chris Johanson and Anne Stiles are only

two of the countless thousands of users both on-

and off-campus represented in that total, but their

projects give a concrete reality to the numbers.

Searching, Finding,Studying, Visiting

Services


For many users “going to

the library” doesn’t mean

walking through physical

doors; it means entering

virtual ones through the

homepage. So the UCLA

Library is bringing all the

services it offers in its

buildings to its Web site.

The UCLA Library

Catalog is the first stop

for many. To make users’

experiences with it as

productive and efficient

as possible, several

enhancements were

added to the system

during this fiscal year.

Chief among these were

a new, streamlined

design of the Basic Search screen based on an exten-

sive user needs analysis and usability testing process.

For items the Library doesn’t own, users submitted

more than thirty-five thousand interlibrary loan

requests during the year. The days of paper forms are

long gone; now users can quickly and easily request

items online, either from other University of Califor-

nia campuses through the UC-wide Melvyl Catalog or

through the UCLA’s Library’s own Web-based form.

Journal articles requested through interlibrary loan are

increasingly being delivered online, saving both time

and money; the owning institution scans the article

and sends a PDF file, and the Library emails the user

when the article is available.

For users with less experience with libraries and

academic research and for those looking to enhance

their research skills, the Library has an Information

Literacy Program staffed with librarians with particular

expertise in instruction. New this fiscal year were

podcasts, which enabled students to download and

listen to audio files on their computer or MP3 players;

topics included an introduction to the undergraduate

library’s services and facilities and how to access

course reserves.

LITE (Library Instruction to Everyone) Bites offered

another approach to instruction. This collaborative

project between the Library and the Office of Resi-

dential Life’s Residential Cable Television Station

produced a series of brief segments about Library

facilities, resources, and services that were broadcast

on the residence halls TV network and also formatted

as streaming video and linked from the Library

homepage.

For everything from quick facts to complex research

questions, the Library’s online reference service

provided the answer. A new staffing model was imple-

mented to expand the service’s providers from libra-

rians at the College Library to encompass librarians

and library assistants from throughout the UCLA

Library system. The staffing model expanded even

further early in 2006 when UCLA joined with five

other UC campuses in a pilot project to test a colla-

borative version of the service.

Convenience of the Web aside, the physical facilities

are still the center of most library action. Chris and

Anne were just two of the more than three million

visitors who came to one of the campus libraries

during the year. Some came to check out books, view

special collections materials, or consult with a libra-

rian; others wanted to study with friends, view an

exhibit, check email, or learn ballroom dancing.

Whether in virtual or physical form, the Library con-

tinues to pursue its mission of providing support for

research, study, and

instruction; social

and intellectual

stimulation; and

opportunities for

relaxation and quiet

contemplation.

* Established as of June 30, 2006

Direct GiftGifts of cash or by check or credit card have an immediateimpact. Please make checks payable to The UCLA Foun-dation. To charge your gift to your credit card, please call310.206.8526 for further information, or make your giftonline at <https://giving.ucla.edu/library>; this secureserver uses advanced encryption and firewall technologyto protect your information.

SecuritiesThe full-market value of gifts of appreciated securitiesis tax deductible. In most cases, appreciation in the valueof the security benefits the Library and is not taxable tothe donor.

Matching GiftsMany employers will match employees’ gifts to the Lib-rary. If your company is one of them, request a matchinggift form from the personnel or employee relations office,have it completed and signed, and include it with yourgift; it may double or triple the impact of your contribu-tion. Some companies also match gifts made by retireesand/or spouses.

Planned GivingPlanned gifts include gifts through wills, living trusts,charitable trusts, charitable gift annuities, retirementplans, or other estate-planning arrangements. For furtherinformation about making a planned gift or bequest,please call the Library Development office at 310.206.8526.

Real EstateReal property, either in entirety or in part, can be deededto The UCLA Foundation to benefit the Library. It is possi-ble to enjoy tax benefits by deeding a home to the Library,while continuing to occupy the property for life.

BequestsIn writing a will or living trust or making other plannedgiving arrangements, donors can specify that they wouldlike their estate to benefit the UCLA Library. In recogni-tion, these individuals are welcomed as members of theprestigious First Century Society. To ensure that your giftis designated properly, please contact the Library Develop-ment office at 310.206.8526 for appropriate language.

Charitable Gift AnnuityDonors can transfer money, securities, or real estate intrust to the Library and receive income for themselves oranother for life. Donors may receive immediate tax bene-fits, and the Library ultimately receives the trust property.

Qualified Retirement PlansNaming The UCLA Foundation as a beneficiary of a quali-fied retirement plan (IRA, KEOGH, 401(k) or 403(b)) maybe particularly advantageous by resulting in more assetsbeing passed on to your heirs than if you make a bequestfrom other funds in your estate.

The UCLA Library AssociatesSupport from the UCLA Library Associates annual givingprogram ensures that critical needs, from special oppor-tunity acquisitions to information literacy programs, areaddressed. Discretionary funds available to the universitylibrarian make a significant impact on the quality, inno-vative resources and services that the UCLA Library isable to offer. The generosity of the Library Associates isacknowledged through invitations to a variety of stimu-lating activities throughout the year and courtesies suchas borrowing privileges.

How to Support the UCLA Library

Michael LightSome Dry SpaceS. I.: Michael Light, 2003Charles E. Young Research LibraryDepartment of Special Collections

In September 2005 the UCLA Library celebrated the acquisitionof its eight millionth volume. This oversized, handmade volumefeatures Light’s black-and-white photographs of both settled andunsettled areas of the American West from above.

An artist broadly concerned with how humans relate to theirlarger surroundings, Light has exhibited nationally and interna-tionally, and his work is in the collections of the Getty ResearchLibrary, Los Angeles County Museum of Art, New York PublicLibrary, and San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, among others.He is currently photographing both settled and unsettled areasof the American West from small airplanes, pursuing themesof geology, mapping, vertigo, and human impact on the land.He continues to frame his still imagemaking in filmic terms,with textless visual books the main outcome.

Born in 1963, Light received a bachelor of arts in Americanstudies from Amherst College in 1986 and a master of fine artsin photography from the San Francisco Art Institute in 1993.
