Six library associations -- the American Association of Law Libraries, the Amer­ ican Library Association, the Associati_on of Research Libraries, the Medical Library Association, the Music Library Association, and the Special Libraries Association -­ have urged that Sec. 108(g)(2) be deleted from the general copyright revision bill. Below are excerpts from a statement submitted jointly by the six associations on March 5, 1976, to the House Judiciary Subcommittee on Courts, Civil Liberties, and the Administration of Justice, chaired by Rep. Robert Kastenmeier (D-Wis.), explain­ ing the rationale of deletion:

The fundamental issue separating librarians and copyright proprietors with re­ spect to the revision of the 1909 copyright law is the public's right of access to materials under copyright through the nation's libraries. Copyright proprietors have alleged but have failed to document actual or potential harmful effects attri­ butable to the development of cooperative agreements among libraries variously called "library systems, library networks, or library consortia." Librarians and other rep­ resentatives of user groups not only deny these allegations based upon their know­ ledge of the activities in question, but also assert that publishers already have it within their power -- and indeed are using that power -- to set book and journal prices at levels which take into consideration institutional uses of their products.

The present copyright revision bill (S.22) which the Senate has passed and is now being considered by your Subcommittee deals specifically with this issue in Sec­ tion 108(g)(2). If this bill were to be passed by the House of Representatives and signed into law by the President in its present form, it would be, in our opinion, the worst disaster ever to befall the users of the nation's libraries and would ren­ der inestimable damage to scholarship and research. The immediate result would be to prompt all libraries to terminate interlibrary loans where the actual item could not be lent. These would be, for the most part, copies of journal articles. In an in­ formal survey of legal counselors to library trustees and library administrators, we have learned that they would advise their clients not to continue interlibrary loan under the terms of section 108(g)(2) as written. The complete stoppage of this flow of information from the education and research centers of the country to users of in­ stitutions in remote, less well-endowed or simply sparsely populated areas would sub­ stantially reverse twenty years of library development at the state and local level, much of which was encouraged by Congress through such Acts as the Library Services and Construction Act, the Medical Library Assistance Act, and the Higher Education Act.

At this point, no one is able to say what the best alternative approach to this problem may be, and for this reason we have urged Congress not to prejudge this issue. Studies currently under way, sponsored by the National Commission on Librar­ ies and Information Science and the American Council of Learned Societies, in which librarians and copyright proprietors are participating, promise to bring considerably more information to bear upon many aspects of this problem than we have at present. Also, Congress has charged the National Commission on New Technological Uses of Copy­ righted Works (CONTU) with analyzing such studies as these and other sources of per­ tinent information in order to advise the Congress on legislative needs in this area. * * * (excerpts from statement of 3/5/76) I S. 22 - COPYRIGHT REVISION BILL: LIBRARY PP.OTOCOFIING

Status of bill S. 22 passed Senate 2/19/76, by vote of 97-0. Markup sessions began 2/4/76 in t he House Judiciary Subcommittee on Courts, Civil Liberties, and the Administration of Justice.

Sec. 108(g)(2) Sec. 108 (g)(2) of tr~ Senate bill prohibits "systematic repro­ duction or distribution of single or multiple copies •••• " by l:!b:raries. No deflnition of the term "systematic" is provided, but the Senate Judiciary Committee report (S.Rept. 94-473) re­ fers to a library making copies for other libraries "whose pur­ pose or effect is to have the reproducing library serve as their source of such material. Such systematic reproduction and dis­ tribution, as distinguished from isolated and unrelated repro­ duction or distribution, may substitute the copies reproduced by the source library for subscriptions or reprints or other copies which the receiving libraries or users might otherwise have pur­ chased for themselves, from the publisher or the licensed repro­ ducing agencies. 11

Problem The report language is susceptible of so many interpretations as to render it almost meaningless as a guide to library photocopy­ ing. Sec. 108(g)(2) fails to recognize that reprints of journal articles are not readily available from publishers or licensed agencies. It fails to recognize that libraries today must co­ ordinate their services, eliminate unnecessary duplication of effort, and create larger administrative units to better serve the public. Sec. 108(g)(2) fails to recognize that libraries today cannot possibly purchase all materials their patrons may ever want. Over 39,000 book titles were published in the U.S. last year and about 40,000 the year before. Moreover,it is esti­ mated that there· are over 50,000 journal and other periodical titles published worldwide in the field of .natural science alone.

Interlibrary loan Librarians readily agree that each library should provide from endangered its own collections the routinely-requested resources necessary to meet the ordinary study, educational, instructional, informa­ tional, and research needs of its users. But not every library can be expected to acquire all the books, journals and other materials any user might conceivably need. To fill the unusual request, a library often resorts to interlibrary loan -- borrow­ ing the item from another library for the use of the individual who requested it .for study, scholarship or research.

For preservation and handy reference use, libraries generally bind in one volume all issues of a journal for one year. They do not normally lend journals because they are much more diffi­ cult to replace than lost books, because the absence of an entire periodical volume for an extended period of time would be a dis­ service to other library users, and because it would be unecon­ omical and wasteful to fill an interlibrary loan request for one short article by lending an entire bulky bound volume. There­ fore, it has been a long-standing library practice to send a single copy of a single article for a single user. It is this practice, and the resulting access to journal literature, that would be most adverseJ.y : affected_by '-th~ - provisions of Sec. 108 (g) (2). I - 2 -

No need for The underlying assumption of 108(g)(2) is that libraries will 108(g)(2) substitute photocopying for purchase of subscriptions, thus . damaging publishers' markets. There is, however, !!,2_ evidence that publishers' markets have been dameged in the least by this long-standing librar.y practice. In fact, on the contrary, li• brary expenditures for journal and other periodical subscrip­ tions have greatly increased in recen.t ye&rs. D'lta from the National Center for Education Statistics show that:

• For all institutions of higher education, the total op­ erating expenditures for libraries increased at an average annual rate of only 5 percent from 1972-74, but at the same time, their expenditures for periodical subscriptions in­ creased at an average annual rate of 18 percent.

The nation's public libraries serving populations of 25,000 and over, spent $129 million on books, journals, audiovisual .and ·other library materials in 1974, nearly double the amount libraries this size spent on these ma­ terials six years earlier.

Effects of Sec. 108(g)(2) if enacted would cause (1) inestimable damage to 108(g)(2) scholarship and research by reduced access to journal literature; (2) curtailed public access to information, particularly in the less affluent, less populated areas of the country, where li­ braries simply do not have the extensive resources of major academic or large urban public libraries; and (3) expensive time­ consuming litigation as the copyright proprietors would attempt to have the courts define "systematic" reproduction of "single or multiple copies."

All libraries Libraries in virtually every Congressional District are now par• affected ticipating in interlibrary cooperative projects designed to el­ iminate duplication of effort and increase the resources avail­ able to the public. The users of all libraries would find their access to information curtailed if 108(g)(2) were to be enacted.

Conclusion Sec.108(g)(2) must be deleted from the copyright revision bill. There is no evidence that its deletion will damage copyright proprietors. There is much evidence that its retention will re­ duce the public's access to information and cause inestimable damage to scholarship and research.

The National Commission on New Technological Uses of Copyrighted Works (established only last year by Congress), the National Science Foundation, the National Commission on Libraries and In­ formation Science, and others are currently studying library photocopying and publishers' markets. Congress should not pre­ judge the issue by enacting 108(g)(2) which would do inestimable damage to current library practices that have in no way reduced the markets of the copyright proprietors. In fact, there is considerable evidence to show that the trend toward interlibrary cooperation has resulted in increasing library subscriptions to journals and other periodicals.

Res. 40 Reasons for the conference p.1 December 31, 1974 State conferences •••·••···· 2 Conference agenda items •••• 3 joint 'Resolution Organization and planning •• 4

To authorize and request the President to call a White House Conference on Library and Information Services not later than 1978, and for other purposes.

WHITE HOUSE CONFERENCE ON LIBRARY AND INFORMATION SERVICES

Purpose: Public Law 93-568 states: "The purpose of the White House Conference on Li­ brary and Information Services ••• shall be to develop reconnnendations for the further improvement of the Nation's libraries and information centers and their use by the public."

Reasons for the Conference: Public Law 93-568 sets forth the following: 1. Access to information and ideas is indispensable to the development of human potential, the advancement of civilization, and the continuance of enlightened self-government. 2. The preservation and the dissemination of information and ideas are the pri­ mary purpose and function of libraries and information centers. 3. The growth and augmentation of the Nation's libraries and information centers are essential if all Americans are to have reasonable access to adequate ser­ vices of libraries and information centers. 4. New achievements in technology offer a potential for enabling libraries and information centers to serve the public more fully, expeditiously, and econom­ ically. 5. Maximum realization of the potential inherent in the use of advanced technology by libraries and information centers requires cooperation through planning for, and coordination of, the services of libraries and information centers. 6. The National Commission on Libraries and Information Science is developing plans for meeting national needs for library and information services and for coordinating activities to meet those needs. 7. Productive reconnnendations for expanding access to libraries and information centers will require public understanding and support as well as that of pub­ lic and private libraries and information centers.

Participants in the Conference: Public Law 93-568 states that the Conference will be composed of, and bring together-- 1. Representatives of local, statewide, regional, and national institutions, agencies, organizations, and associations which provide library and informa­ tion service to the public; 2. Representatives of educational institutions, agencies, organizations, and as­ sociations (including professional and scholarly associations for the advance­ ment of education and research); 3. Persons with special knowledge of, and special competence in, technology as it may be used for the improvement of library and information services; 4. Representatives of federal, state, and local governments, professional and lay people, and other members of the general public. Federal Funds Authorized for the Conference: Public Law 93-568 authorizes (but does not appropriate) up to $3.5 million to carry out the White House Conference and to assist the states with their own conferences beforehand.

Date of the White House Conference: not later than 1978. -2-

STATE CONFERENCES on LIBRARY AND INFORMATION SERVICES

Assistance to the States: Public Law 93-568 authorizes the National Corrnnission on Libraries and Information Science to make technical and financial assistance (by grant, contract, or otherwjse) available to the states and territories to enable them to organize and conduct conferences and other meetings in order to prepare for the White House Conference. The National Connnission is also authorized to prepare and make available background materials for the use of delegates to the state conferences and the White House Con­ ference, and to prepare and distribute reports of the White House Conference and the associated state conferences. No set format is specified in the legislation for the state conferences.

Purpose of the State Conferences: Members of Congress, librarians, educators, pub­ lishers, and library trustees have already made many suggestions for what can and should be accomplished during the state-level con­ ferences. Many more ideas are needed. A few examples follow:

"These state meetings will be designed to insure that the recorrnnendations of the public become a central concern of the White House Conference. Two-thirds of those attending each state conference, therefore, will be citizens not associ­ ated with libraries, and one-third of those attending will be from the profes­ sional library and information science community. "The state conferences will force each of the states to evaluate its own li­ brary programs and to engage in systematic statewide planning in order to be able to bring to the White House Conference coherent suggestions with respect to the federal role in financing library and information services." --John Brademas, Member of Congress

''With 50 different initial plans from each of the states, the national confer­ ence could use these as a basis of approach. I think that is a good thing. We will see that some flop and some do not. We will learn from it." --Claiborne Pell, Member of Congress "I think it would be unwise to do more than suggest to the states some of the issues they should raise in their conferences. I would prefer that each state de­ termine its own priorities and its own needs and then the people at the national level can take all these documents and say what are the connnon strains that run through them. What are the things that we can address at a national level and what are things that each state can do on its own level." --Edward G. Holley, Dean, School of Library Science, Univ. of North Carolina "State conferences are successful and productive precisely because they are part of the ammunition for a national conference. You may be sure that the pros­ pect of a White House Conference will prod the states and localities to sharpen their awareness of the need for library service and of the kind of library ser­ vices they should expect and support." --Alice B. Ihrig, Trustee, Village of Oak Lawn, Illinois "Publishers of all types look forward to participating in the preparatory meetings at state and regional levels. As we approach the threshold of the third century of our national existence, it is imperative that we put all of our knowl­ edge to work." --Townsend Hoopes, President, Association of American Publishers W H I T E H O U S E C O N F E R E N C E O N L I B R A R Y A N D I N F O ~ M A T I O N S E R V I C E S S t a t e _ D i r e c t o .:E.L o f P r e 1 i m i n a r J.._ P _l a n n i n...a_ C o n t a c t P e r s o n s

AGENDA ITEMS for the State Conferences and the White House Conference on Library and Information Services

Many suggestions have been offered for studies that should be made and dialogue that should occur during the preliminary state conferences and at the White House Conference. Many more are needed. A few examples are:

• Needs of library users • Potential of new technology • Effective library planning • Library automation • Deficiencies in library service • State and local documents • Support for all types of libraries • Intellectual ireedom • Interlibrary cooperation , • Academic and research libraries • School library/media services • Urban library resources and services • Postal rates and libraries • Depository library programs • Library and information service to special groups Audiovisual resources and services • Specialized information centers • Economic and statistical data on libraries of all types • National, state, local and private sector roles in providing library and information services to meet the needs of all the people • Equal access to library and information service Multimedia resources and services • Education and training for library and information service A Library and Information Services Fair has been proposed as an event that might be held in conjunction with the White House Conference. To demonstrate available service as well as future possibilities, a stimulating exhibition of innovative re­ sources and equipment--books, print and nonprint audiovisual materials, films, tape cassettes, TV, cable and satellite transmissions and video recordings--should be planned, combining the expertise and experience of authors and publishers, producers and performers, librarians and educators. The public at large would be invited to participate, experimenting with dial access, data transmissions from local libraries, and computer applications. Perhaps the staff of the TODAY SHOW would consider doing their daily news and general information program from the fair site in Washington, D.C. during the week of the White House Conference. Sesame Street and Electric Company could be telecast with live performers and puppeteers available for personal appearances and question-and-answer sessions.

The White House Conference must bring together the collective ideas of all the American people--citizens from all walks of life, parents, businessmen, students, educators, working men and women from all fields and professions--to focus on li­ braries and how to provide the kinds of information and recreational services that all Americans have a right to expect from their libraries.

Ideas for improving library and information service must. first be sought at the local level during preliminary conferences in the states and territories. Then cit­ izen representatives from all the states will join forces at the White House Confer­ ence to pool ideas and plans for action.

Many ideas have been offered on what might be accomplished during a White House Conference on Library and Information Services, and many others will be forthcoming as more and more Americans begin to consider how their libraries can better serve their needs. Now is the time to begin thinking and planning for the conference in your state. -4-

ORGANIZATION and PLANNING for the WHITE HOUSE CONFERENCE ON LIBRARY AND INFORMATION SERVICES Public Law 93-568 specifies that the National Commission on Libraries and Informa­ tion Science will plan and conduct the White House Conference, and a 28-member advi­ sory committee is to be app:Jinted to assist the Commission. Tne advisory committee is to be composed of: at lea.3t 3 members of the National C01Trnission, appointed by the Chairman five persons appointed by the Speaker of the House five persons appointed by the President Pro Tempore of the Senate no m:Jre tha~1. 15 persons appointed by the President. The National Commission has projected a tentative three-phase planning and imple­ mentation process for the state conferences and the national conference, as follows: Phase 1 - 1975 __ Initial Planni£,g_ (approximately 6 months) Organize the appointed advisory committee and plan its operation; recruit, hire and develop core staff to support this phase and to continue throughout the confer­ ence activity; develop and test systems for program, financial, and management con­ trol; develop 3-year plans for state and national conferences; hold regional plan­ ning conferences in each of the 10 federal regions to establish initial guidelines for state conferences. (Federal regions are: (1) loston--Conn., Maine, Mass., NH, RI, Vt.; (2) New York-­ NJ, NY, Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands; (3) Philadelphia--Del., DC, Md., Pa., Va., W.Va.; (4) Atlanta--Ala., Fla., Ga., Ky., MLss., NC, SC, Tenn.; (5) Chi~--Ill., Ind., Mich., Minn., Ohio, Wis.; (6) Dallas--Ark., La., NM, Okla., Tex.; (7) Kansas City--Ia., Kans., Mo., Neb.; (8) )2_enver--Colo., Mont., ND, SD, Utah, Wyo.; (9) San Fr~isc~--Ariz., Cal., Hawaii, Nev., A.~er. Samoa, Guam, Trust Territories of the Pacific Islands; (10) Seattle--Alaska, Idaho, Ore., wash.) Phase 2----- 1976-1977 Conferences (approximately 21 months) Increase the staff to assist with state and regional meetings; distribute and im­ plem~nt instructional materials for state and territorial meetings; prepare and dis­ tribute necessary program materials, research documents, study results, statistical analyses, etc. to participan:::s and observers; hold 56 state-territorial conferences and receive the recommendations from each; continue the planning effort adapting the national conference plans to the results coming from state conferences; prepare doc­ umentation for the national conference and its delegates; hold the White House Con­ ference (tentative da·.::e: fall 1977).

-----Phase 3 - 1978 Close Out Conference Activity -- Write Final Report (approximately 8 m:Jnths) Reduce staff to th:Jse needed for editorial, financial and ma~agement functions; complete all financial activity and audit the accounts; prepare and issue proceedings of the conferences and transmit them to the President and Congress; summarize and analyze the conference recom,,1endations, publish them and prepare for necessary action; transmit the recommendations to the President and Congress with a program and time­ table for implementation; integrate the recommendations into the ongoing activity of the NCLIS; terminate the conference activity.

BRIEF HISTORY OF S.J.RES. 40 -­ WITH FINAL CHAPTERS STILL TO BE WRITTEN

January 1973 - December 1974

First introduced in the U.S. Senate in January 1973, Senate Joint Resolution 40 (S.J.Res. 40) authorized and requested the President of the United States to call a White House Conference on Library and Information Services. The bill was sponsored by Senator Claiborne Pell (D-R.I.), chairman of the Senate Education Subconnnittee, who noted that the American Library Association's Council had passed a resolution in January 1972 urging that such a conference be called. Senator Pell thought ALA had a good idea, and introduced legislation to make it a reality. In subsequent months, similar legislation was introduced in the House of Representatives by then House Minority Leader, Gerald R. Ford (R-Mich.), Rep. Ken Hechler (D-W.Va.), and by Rep. John Brademas (D.-Ind.), who is chairman of the House Select Subconnnittee on Education. The Senate Subconnnittee on Education held hearings in July 1973, and the full Labor and Public Welfare Connnittee reported the measure to the Senate on November 16 (Senate Report 93-521). The Senate then passed the measure by voice vote on November 20, 1973. Action then moved to the House side, where hearings were held in the Select Sub­ connnittee on Education in late November, 1973. After making several changes in the Senate bill, the House Education and Labor Connnittee reported the bill to the House on May 22, 1974 (House Report 93-1056). Then, to expedite the bill's passage, S.J.Res. 40 as amended was brought before the House under "suspension of the rules," a short-cut procedure which makes a two-thirds majority necessary for passage (rather than a simple majority under the normal procedure. S.J.Res. 40 did not re­ ceive a two-thirds majority and therefore failed to pass. The next step came on October 2, 1974, when the House Rules Com­ mittee cleared the way for another House vote on the measure, this time under the normal procedure requiring a simple majority for passage. Then, on December 12, 1974, the House debated the measure and passed it by a vote of 259-81.

This voting record goes to press (December 17) before congressional action could be completed on S.J.Res. 40. The time is short, however, for the 93d Congress is planning to adjourn December 19 or 20. S.J.Res. 40 must be finally en­ acted before adjournment; otherwise, the bill will die and the whole process must be repeated from the beginning in the new 94th Congress. But regardless of the outcome of S.J.Res. 40, this voting record is important, for it tells you how your Representative voted not once but twice on a significant piece of library legislation. More details are provided on the inside pages.

Sponsored by Sen. J. Glenn Beall (R-MD)

New Title II Part C replacing present Title II Part C of Higher Education Act

Purpose To promote research and education of high quality throughout the na­ tion by providiL3 grants for library resources to major research li­ braries. Institutions receiving these grants would be ineligible to receive Title II Part A basic grants for library resources, thereby reserving the basic grants for the nation's over 2500 medium-sized and smaller institutions of postsecondary education.

Eligibility This program is aimed at those public or private nonprofit institu­ tions whose library collections are of national or international significance for scholarly research and make an indispensable con­ tribution to higher education and research. Types of libraries which would be eligible might include academic, public, and state libraries, and independent research libraries, in all regions of the country.

Authorization The authorization level suggested is $10,000,000 for fiscal year Level 1977, $15,000,000 for fiscal year 1978, and $20,000,000 for each of the next three fiscal years.

Explanation Research libraries are collectively a single national resource of recorded knowledge, central to higher education, necessary for all research, the results of which are constantly being applied to im­ proving the quality of life. They are thus worthy of national sup­ port.

The proposed new Part C follows closely the recommendation of the Carnegie Council on Policy Studies in Higher Education for a program of federal support for large research libraries. Among the educa­ tion and research groups supporting this recommendation are the Amer­ ican Library Association, the American Association of University Pro­ fessors, the American Council on Education, the Association of Re­ search Libraries, the Association of American Universities, and the National Board on Graduate Education.

Present The present authority for Part C is the National Program for Acquisi­ Part C tions and Cataloging (NPAC) administered by the Library of Congress. No longer Part C, which has traditionally benefited research libraries prima­ needed in rily, is an appropriate place for this new program. Since the Li­ HEA brary of Congress is now able to continue NPAC under its own author­ ity, it is recommended that Part C become a vehicle for direct aid to the nation's major research libraries. These libraries are an essential element in higher education and research in every part of the country, &ad must be enabled to continue to keep up with the in­ crease in recorded knowledge and the increase in cost of maintaining excellence in coverage.

President Ford, in an appearance in Lacrosse, Wisc., March 27, stated that his personnel office is in the process of collecting names of people to make up the membership of the advisory committee to the White House Confer­ ence on Library and Information Services. He said, "libraries are an essen­ tial part of our intellectual and academic areas, and we ought to have a White House Conference. We will, but I can't give you a precise time sched­ ule either on the names o-;-on the conference." L;mphasis addedJ

This positive announcement of the President's intention to move ahead with the White House Conference is reassuring, good news, considering some of the previous negative responses written to Senators and Representatives by various White House staff members who obviously did not realize that Mr. Ford was a sponsor of this bipartisan legislation while he was House Minority Leader.

The subject of the conference came up during a question and answer session following remarks of the President at the Mary E. Sawyer Municipal Auditorium in Lacrosse on Saturday evening, March 27. The question posed to the President was, "When will you be appointing 15 citizens to the advisory board for the 1977 White House Conference on Libraries and Information Service, since a col­ lege student has already been recommended to you by the Wisconsin National Com­ munity -- Harvey J. Fish?"

In replying President Ford said, "I can't give you the precise time or date that those recommendations will come from the White House Personnel Of­ fice, but I will check on it. I know they are in the process. I think we ought to have the kinds of White House Conferences you are talking about."

Along with making his 15 appointments to the advisory committee, it is essential that the President send a supplemental budget request to Congress so that the funds are appropriated to begin the planning process in prepara­ tion for individual state conferences preceding the national White House Con­ ference on Library and Information Services to be held no later than 1978, as authorized by Public Law 93-568. Thirteen advisory committee members have al­ ready been named, five each by the House and Senate and three by the National Commission on Libraries and Information Science which will administer the con­ ference under the leadership of the 28 member advisory committee.

I RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE AMERICAN LIBRARY ASSOCIATION FOR FY 1977-78 FUNDING OF LIBRARY AND RELATED PROGRAMS

This table compares funds for library programs as appropriated in FY 1976, as proposed by the President's FY 1977 budget, and as recommended by the American Library Association in testimony before the Senate Subcommittee on Labor-HEW Appropriations during hearings on the FY 1977 Education Appropriations, March 18, 1976.

~Although the original budget specified zero funding for HEA II and LSCA, the U.S. Commissioner of Education announced on March 11 before the House Labor-HEW Appropriations Subcommittee that a budget amendment for FY 1977 would be transmitted shortly restoring HEA II-A and LSCA to its FY 1976 enacted level. The actual fig­ ures for LSCA Titles I and III are still uncertain because the revised budget docu­ ment has not yet been transmitted to Congress.

A revised budget announced March 11, 1976, calls for FY 1977 funding of LSCA at the FY 1976 level. EROSION OF PUBLIC LIBRARY SUPPORT

To prevent continued erosion of public library support, FY 1977 appropriations for LSCA should be restored to the 1973 level, at the very least. Since 1973, the average cost of a book has increased 33 percent, from $12.20 to $16.10. Over the same period of time, federal grants for public libraries (LSCA) have been cut by 39 percent, from $84.5 million to $51,749,000 in 1976.

American Library Association - Washington Office March 1976 I LSCA TITLE I GRANTS -- AWARDED BY STATES TO LOCAL LIBRARIES TO MEET STATE AND LOCAL NEEDS

The following reports from the states illustrate the kinds of projects LSCA has made possible in diverse areas of the United States:

MASSACHUSETTS Physical handicaps prevent many people who want to read from using conventional materials. Recently available LSCA funds are being used to fund twenty-five $1,500 grants in an effort to meet the special needs of these readers. The grants will be awarded to local public libraries to establish new large-print collections or supplement existing ones.

ARKANSAS In 1975, about half of Arkansas' Title I funds were used for grants to 15 local libraries for library service to the disadvantaged. These projects included the introduction of circulation of toys, audio-visual programs, service to the isolated and the establishment of neighborhood reading centers.

IOWA Iowa libraries in 1975 received grants totaling $25,212 for service to physically handicapped, and $40,000 for service to disadvantaged persons, under LSCA Title I. Among projects funded were: the Sioux City Public Library ser­ vices to the Indian population in Sioux City and the adjacent Nebraska Winnebago Sioux Reservation; Waterloo Public Library's program for preschool children; and the Public Library of Des Moines,which received $9,000 to maintain the Library In­ formation Center to serve residents in a high minority, low socioeconomic area.

MARYLAND LSCA funds have been used in Maryland to initiate and improve library services to (1) special groups of citizens who are handicapped, educa­ tionally disadvantaged or residents of state and local institutions, (2) provide additional books, films, tapes, and other library materials in all public libraries to meet identified needs, and (3) promote and strengthen cooperative programs and services among libraries that provide wider access to special collections and reduct unwarranted duplication. The programs have reached more than 46,000 disadvantaged persons, 19,000 persons in state institutions, and 6,500 blind and visually handi­ capped. New services have been started in all of the state's 24 library systems.

NEW MEXICO As a sparsely populated state, New Mexico has used LSCA funds to work toward developing local public library services with bookmob­ iles serving multi-county regions, grants to community libraries, and emphasis on library planning, experimental projects, consultant service, networking, training and evaluation. Almost all of the Title I funds were used for a project of library service to rural areas and special projects such as books-by-mail and Reading is Fundamental.

WISCONSIN In FY 1976, library improvement grants under LSCA Title I were awarded to state institutions including Kettle Moraine Correctional Institu­ tion, Wisconsin School for Boys, Wisconsin State Prison, Wisconsin Correctional In­ stitution, Wisconsin State Reformatory, Black River Camp, and Flambeau State Camp. Grants were also awarded to Central State Hospital, Mendota Mental Health Institute, Southern Wisconsin Colony, Northern Wisconsin Colony, Winnebago Mental Health In­ stitute, Wisconsin Veterans Home, the School for the Deaf in Devavan, and the School for Visually Handicapped in Janesville.

American Library Association March, 1976 Washington PUBLIC LIBRARY CONSTRUCTION - The states reported in 1975 that if LSCA Title II federal matching funds were avail­ able, 751 public library construction projects could be underway by July 1, 1976 (column 1), and 784 additional construction projects were needed over the next three years (column 2).

Library Services and Construction Act

Since 1970, the Administration's budget proposals have steered a disruptive $5 zigzag course. After attempting in FY 1970 to cut library activities by 50 percent and being overruled by solid bipartisan Congressional support, the budgeteers backed up in FY 1971 and tried another downward plunge in FY 1972. Rebuffed again, the budget proposal was moved up to $32.7 million in FY 1973 only to nosedive to zero in FY 1974, bounce back to $25 million in FY 1975, dip to $10 million in FY 1976, drop again to zero in FY 1977, and then, with $4 a last-minute unexplained reprieve, shoot back to the FY 1976 appropriation level of $51,749,000. ti)z 0 ...:l t\ - I\ A ...:l I\ /' ~ -z $3 I \ / \ I \ \ / / \ -ti) I \ / \ ~ I \ I \ ...:l< ...:l I \ / \ !\ 0 ______J ', I \ I\ Q $20 \ I \ II \ V \ I \ Budget Appropriation \ I \\ 1970 $23,209,000 $43,266,250 \ I \ 197 1 22,949,000* 47,801 ,500 \ I \ 1972 18,000,000 58 ,709,000 \ I \ $10 1973 32,73 0,000 84,500,000 \ I \ 1974 -0- 46,749,000 1975 25 ,000,000 51,749,000 \ I ', 1976 10,000,000 51 ,749,000 \ I ' 1977 -0-** \ I ', *revised 3/23/70 to $35,45 9,000 \ I ', **revised 3/1 1/76 to $51,749,000 \/ ',J 0 1...------="------' 1970 1971 1972 1973 1974 1975 1976 1977

The wildly fluctuating Administration proposals are totally unpredictable and as a result it has become increasingly difficult for the states and localities to plan effectively for improvement of library services. The Administration's proposed rescissions and deferrals resulting in delayed funding have compounded the problem.

To get away from the negative effects of the Administration's ever-changing budget proposals, the law calling for the White House Conference on Library and Information Services must now be implemented. This law (PL 93-568) calls f or a nationwide reassessment of the nation's libraries on a state-by-state basis, and it provides a vehicle for attaining such reassessment (a national conference preceded by conferences in each of the states and territories). Funds authorized by PL 9-3-568 should be appropriated without delay, so that t he federal government in partnership with the stat~s and localities can steer a true course for the future, leaving behind once and for all the disruptive zigzags of the present Administration.

American Library Association - Washington Office March, 1976 SCHOOL LIBRARIES AND LEARNING RESOURCES - ESEA TITLE IV-B ESEA Title IV-B provides grants to the states for library materials, educational equipment, and guidance, counseling and testing. In FY 1976 half the funds were al­ located through the new consolidated Title IV-B, and half through the categorical pro­ grams it replaces--ESEA Title II, NDEA III, and part of ESEA Title III. It is still too early to tell how the new program is working nt the state and local level. However, the need for establishing and upgrading school libraries continues, as well as an increasing need for materials to support a renewed emphasis on such basic skills as reading and writing. The most recent survey of the states concerning ESEA Title II was conducted in 1974 by the North Carolina Dept. of Public Instruction. The follow­ ing examples from that survey show the use made of Title II funds and the needs which can be met at least in part with assistance from ESEA Title IV-B: ARKANSAS - "The libraries in our state have been greatly enhanced by the resources provided under Title II ESEA during the past few years. Without these funds, many children would be deprived of any fairly acceptable library resources." CONNECTICUT - "Title II has been a main impetus in centralizing school library media centers. There are still schools without a library, but these are now in the minor­ ity. The greatest need is in poorer towns, in elementary schools where local budgets are meager." MISSISSIPPI - "Sixty percent of all school districts report that one of their most critical needs is providing materials for the underachiever. A majority of these school administrators agree that the added materials for the underachiever provided through ESEA II have contributed to an increase in the achievement level of students." MISSOURI - "Since the beginning of the Title II, ESEA program in 1965-66 the number of central libraries in the public elementary and secondary schools has increased by 116%. Certificated librarians employed in these schools have increased by 94%. A combination of local, state, and federal funds has been sufficient to bring less than one-half of the central library collections up to the state standards required for classification and accreditation of the districts." MONTANA - "In a rural state such as Montana, there are many schools who would not even have a library resource available, if it were not for ESEA Title II funds. The need certainly exists and as educational costs increase, the need for federal assistance for library resources increases." NEW JERSEY - "The Title II ESEA program has served as seed money to stimulate LEAs to develop library/media programs. In a few districts with low tax bases it actually provides services not otherwise available." PENNSYLVANIA - "The inflated cost of materials has decreased the purchasing power of allocated funds. The needs continue as curricular trends change. This program rep­ resents a partnership among federal, state and local agencies with materials coming from one source, staff and facilities from others." VERMONT - "ESEA Title II has not only assisted elementary school libraries already functioning, but has sparked interest in small communities to start libraries where there had been none. The greatest need is still in elementary schools throughout the State." VIRGINIA - "Most of the school libraries, even the ones in the smaller elementary schools, are on the verge of implementing a unified media approach to teaching and learning and are striving to become true media centers. Much effort in the past has been devoted to attaining State standards for print materials. Title II assietance has been instrumental in meeting these basic goals and helping with beginning audio - visual collections." WASHINGTON - "Under the Title II program existing school libraries in Washington State have been greatly expanded; learning resources, both print and non-print, are more readily available and accessible to childr2n ond teachers in both public and private schools."

HIGHER EDUCATION ACT -- TITLE II-A (COLLEGE LIBRARY RESOURCES)

As college librarians across the country report the devastating effects of continued increases in the cost of books, periodicals, postage and heating fuel coupled with tighter budgets, the $5000 basic grants are being put to good use. Here is how the directors of several college libraries have used their Title II-A funds:

IDAHO - Lewis-Clark State College - A Title II-A grant is being used to add to the Library's microfilm collection with special attention given to materials relating to the Pacific Northwest.

IOWA - Central College - "We have been able to meet some of the initial high-cost in­ vestments in library materials for new programs such as Black Studies, Latin-American Studies, Urban-Studies and others through the funding of Title II. With increasing demands for career-orientation as part of the liberal arts experience, we have begun to work in cooperation with our Placement Office in an effort to build a current in­ formation bank to meet the needs of our graduates, alumni, and constituency."

MICHIGAN - Oakland University - "As a state-supported institution, Oakland University must meet the curricular needs of the community. A recent Title II grant enabled the library to purchase materials in the area of allied health, African and Afro-American studies, urban studies, and learning skills. As stated in the narrative portion of the grant report, 'the purchases in these subject areas would have been impossible to fund without the grant. 111

NEW JERSEY - New Jersey Institute of Technology - "Title II-A funds have been impor­ tant because they allowed us to purchase those items which we otherwise could not have obtained but which did much to strengthen the collection in various fields of engineering and technology." - Princeton University - "$5000 is obviously a small part of the acquisitions budget of a large research library, but these budgets are in­ creasing less rapidly than the cost of books and journals. Thus even a basic grant helps maintain a reasonable level of acquisitions."

OKLAHOMA - University of Oklahoma - "Recent funds from Title II-A hnve made it possi­ ble for the library to support the curriculum of the ethnic studies program, a new collection of women materials, and books on environmental and ecological problems."

TEXAS - San Jacinto College - "We were able to build up our Texas collection. With our regular budget we would never have been able to purchase these additions. So many Texas books are disappearing and our heritage is very important to everyone. We feel someone should have these materials available on an open door policy."

WISCONSIN - University of Wisconsin, Superior - "This year we were able to purchase a minimal law library (The West Annotated Codes) to supply materials for preliminary law courses. Last year we purchased the ERIC (Educational Resources Information Cen­ ter) materials which services the total concept of educational research.''

American Library Association Washington Office March, 1976 HIGHER EDUCATION ACT -- TITLE II-B (LIBRARY TRAINrNG, and DEMONSTRATION)

Two thirds of the money appropriated under Part Bis designated for programs which provide training for librarians and library educators; the remaining one third is earmarked for support of research and demonstration projects. Library school deans report on the importance of training funds, particularly in recruiting minority can­ didates:

CALIFORNIA - California State University, Fullerton - The Graduate Institute for Mexican Americans at this institution has trained thirty librarians since 1972 with the aid of Title II-B funds. "The significance of this Federal supported Institute is quite obvious. It has in three years almost doubled the numbers of Mexican Amer­ ican librarians. It should be noted that all thirty graduates have been employed. Most within the first three weeks of graduation with a Masters Degree in Library Science."

FLORIDA - Florida State University - "This University has received ••• funds for fel­ lowships in library education which have assisted young people in becoming qualifi.ed to serve this state and region in professional library service; indeed, in recent years, minority students have found this program to be the only support available for preparation for library service."

NORTH CAROLINA - University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill - "Some have argued that these sums are so small that they do not help anyone. That simply is not so. The training funds have been used primarily to increase the number of Black librarians graduating from library schools. This year ••• the University ••• received five fellow­ ships under this program •••• We were able to increase our enrollment of Black students by five, for a total of seven •••• There are very few funds available to this School specifically for minority scholarships, so Title II-B funds were especailly valuable. '

NEW MEXICO - University of New Mexico - "In the past four years Title II-B has sup­ ported at least ten programs, projects and institutes specifically directed towards Spanish-Americans and Pueblo and other reservation Indians. This is the only source of Federal support for continued library training of Indians."

WISCONSIN - University of Wisconsin, Madison - "One especially important program funded by this title, in which the University participates involves 18 minority per­ sons who are working on doctorates in library science at six Midwestern universities. If these persons can finish their degrees, they will double the number of minority doctorate holders in upper-level library jobs in the country."

Recent research and demonstration projects have included:

INDIANA - Indiana Cooperative Library Services Authority - Title II-B funds were used for an analysis of the requirements of on-line network cataloging service for small public, school, academic and other libraries.

OHIO - Ohio College Library Center - The Center received a Title II-B grant to develop a computer-based interlibrary loan communication subsystem, which would ul­ timately benefit the many libraries which use the OCLC data base.

SOUTH CAROLINA - Miriam B. Wilson Foundation - A Title II-B research grant provided reinforcement of a Black cultural museum through the development of its library re­ sources in the field of Black studies to provide educational and research material with a wide application.

American Library Association March, 1976 Washington Office LIBRARY SERVICES AND CONSTRUCTION ACT (LSCA)

(PL 84-597, as amended by PL 88-269, 89-511, 90-154, 91-600, 93-29, 93-113 and 93-380)

Purpose The purpose of LSCA is to assist the States in the extension and improve- ment of public library services in areas of the States which are without such services or in which such services are inadequate, and with public library con­ struction, and in the improvement of library services for physically handicapped, in­ stitutionalized, disadvantaged, elderly persons and people with limited English-speak­ ing ability; in strengthening State library administrative agencies, and in promoting interlibrary cooperation among all types of libraries. In addition, the Act calls for the strengthening of metropolitan libraries which serve as regional or national resource centers. PL 91-600 incorporates amendments designed to lessen the adminis­ trative burden upon the States through a reduction in the number of State plans which must be submitted and approved annually, and to give the States greater discretion in planning for the use of LSCA funds.

Authorization Dates Fiscal year 1972 through fiscal year 1976. Legislation (HR 11233) to extend LSCA for five years passed the House on February 17, 1976. Pending final Congressional action, LSCA is subject to a one-year extension for FY 1977 under Sec. 414 (a) of the General Education Provisions Act.

Allotments and Matching Provisions For each title, any funds remaining after basic allotments have been made are distributed pro­ portionately to the States, each State's share based on its population in relation to the total U.S. population.

A requirement for Titles I & II stipulates that the States and communities must match the Federal contribution on the basis of a ratio of the State's per capita in­ come to the average per capita income of the United States. In no case shall the Fed­ eral share be less than 33 percent or more than 66 percent of the cost of the program. The Federal share for Titles III & IV is 100 percent.

TITLE I - SERVICES

Grants are awarded to assist the States to:

1) develop and improve public library service in geographical areas and to groups of persons without such service or with inadequate service;

2) provide library services for:

a - patients and inmates of State-supported institutions, b - physically handicapped c - disadvantaged persons in low-income areas, both urban and rural, d - persons of limited English-speaking ability;

3) strengthen metropolitan public libraries which function as regional or na­ tional resource centers;

4) strengthen the capacity of the State Library Agency to meet the library and information needs of all the people.

Federal funds may be used for books and other library materials, equipment, salaries, other operating expenses, for statewide planning and evaluation of the pro­ grams, and for the administration of the State plan. - 2 -

TITLE IV - OLDER READERS SERVICES

Grants are authorized to the States for the provision of library services for the elderly, including the purchase of special library materials, payment of salaries for elderly persons who wish to work in libraries, provision of in-home visits by li­ brary personnel to the elderly, and the furnishing of transportation to enable the elderly to have access to library services.

Enacted by the Older Americans Amendments of 1973 (PL 93-29), Title IV has not yet been funded, but such sums as necessary are authorized. Providing appropriations are sufficient, the basic allotment for each State is $40,000 and for each outlying territory $10,000.

*NB Authorizations provided by Sec. 414(a), General Education Provisions Act. - 3 - State Plans and Programs In order to participate in any LSCA program, each State must have a basic State plan approved by the U.S. Com­ missioner of Education, plus a long-range program (a comprehensive 5-year plan on State priorities, procedures and activities for meeting the library and information needs of the people). In addition, for each title in which a State participates, it must submit an annual program, outlining the projects to be achieved during the year.

Some Accomplishments of LSCA The Federal role in assisting public libraries began in fiscal year 1957, with a $2 million appropriation under the newly enacted Library Services Act. Rural in its orientation with funds available only to communities under 10,000 in population, LSA was enlarged in 1964 to become the Library Services and Construction Act with rural limitation removed and 2 construction title added.

Since 1956 under LSA and LSCA, some 17 million Americans have received library service for the first time, and another 90 million persons have benefited from im­ proved services. Every Federal dollar spent on library services is matched by the States and localities.

Inclusion of urban libraries within the scope of the law in 1964 has encouraged the following kinds of program directions, among others:

Improved library and information service to residents of disadvantaged neighborhoods

Special projects to implement national priorities in such areas as Right to Read, career and vocational education, drug abuse and envi­ ronmental education

Strengthening metropolitan libraries to make their resources more accessible on a national or regional basis

The stimulation of Federal funds has greatly strengthened the State Library Agencies, the governmental units responsible for providing leadership in library development throughout each State. The State Agencies have improved statewide li­ brary delivery systems by initiating such actions as the following:

Statewide and multi-county regional system development

• Special statewide and regional projects such as film circuits or books-by-mail service

Interlibrary cooperation and centralized processing centers

Grants-in-aid to initiate or strengthen local library services

• In-service training programs, scholarships, and other forms of continuing education to upgrade library staff, both professional and paraprofessional

National priority projects to serve groups outside the mainstream of society such as the disadvantaged, the aged, the homebound, the foreign-born, the prison inmate, the hospital patient, the migrant, the bilingual.

Title II construction grants, first available in fiscal year 1965, have resulted in the approval of over 2,000 public library buildings to serve some 64 million Amer­ icans. Some $177 million in Federal funds for public library construction, both new - 4 - buildings and remodeling projects, has been matched by $457 million in State and local funds -- a ratio of $1 in Federal fun1s to $2.58 in State and local.

About 140 library cooperative projects involving 10,500 libraries have been set up under Title III of LSCA, thus enabling the resources of all types of libraries -­ public libraries, college and university libraries, school libraries and others -- to be utilized jointly to serve people more effectively.

Need for Adequate Appropriations for LSCA Public libraries in the 1970's are faced with problems that cannot be met with present resources of finance and manpower or by traditional methods of library service.

The cost of library materials has skyrocketed in recent years. The averege· price of ·a-book in 1975 was. $i6.19; a 15 percent increase over the average cost in 1974. And with basic costs such as electricity, heating fuel and postage spiralling up­ ward, less of the budget is available for library materials.

• Public libraries circulated 893 million items in 1974. In 1975, although a total is not yet available, librarians all over the country reported higher circulation figures and crowded reading rooms as economic conditions worsened. In­ creasing numbers of the unemployed continue to use libraries to read the want ads, look for retraining opportunities, check consumer publications to stretch their meager resources, and for recreational reading to pass the time.

• People's need for accurate and timely information increases as society becomes more complex. The continous "information explosion" makes the library's task more difficult. In 1975 alone, American publishing companies produced a total of 39,372 titles. In 1960, by contrast, the total output was only 15,012 titles; and in 1965, 28,595 titles.

Groups of the American population outside the mainstream of society are articulating their needs as never before, needs that cannot always be met by traditional service patterns. Libraries are responding by developing new patterns of out­ reach service to such groups as the bilingual., the disadvan,­ taged, the handicapped, the institutionalized and the aging.

Urban libraries have special problems today. These arise out of the massive pro­ blems of the large cities -- the problems of diversity of population, of taxation and funding, of urban crowding, of the poor and the slums and the undereducated and the unemployed.

So limited are the resources available to libraries in comparison to their grow­ ing needs that the unthinkable is beginning to happen: great libraries are being forced to limit their purchases of books and other materials, to reduce their staffs, to curtail their hours, and even to close their doors permanently.

Millions of people are estimated to be eligible for specialized library services because of physical handicaps. Yet as of June 30, 1975, there were only 478,380 ac­ tive borrowers of talking books, braille books, tape and other special materials and reading aids. Two major needs, if the handicapped are to receive appropriate library service, are: (a) a continuing nationwide program to identify eligible handicapped persons, and (b) the strengthening of resources and staffs of libraries serving these peuions. I - 5 - A 1975 survey of the 50 states determined that at least 743 library construction projects could be started immediately if the Federal matching funds were available. The states identified another 766 public library construction projects needed in the next two to three years. Uncertainty as to the availability of Federal funds from year to year has inhibited planning in many other communities.

Interlibrary cooperation and library networking to pool resources among several libraries and make them available to larger numbers of people is a trend in library service that is coming to the fore in the 1970's. No longer must the local library patron be restricted to the materials his particular local library may have on hand.

With the impetus of LSCA, all States have developed long-range programs and most include plans for coordinating resources and services of public, school, college, university, and other libraries within their borders, and in some cases, across State lines. That such cooperation results in better service to the library user and elim­ inates duplication of effort is demonstrated by the fact that in state after state, local people subsequently vote to tax themselves for continuation of cooperative sar.~ vices. Starting up such projects is beyond the capability of most individual librar­ ies,however.

General revenue oharing (PL 92-512) has been called a substitute for such cate­ gorical aid programs as LSCA. Libraries are cited as a priority expenditure category at the local level under revenue sharing, yet only 1 percent of such funds have gone to libraries. Furthermore, since funds go directly to the local level instead of through a state agency, there is no incentive for cooperative efforts across jurism dictional lines.

In addition, libraries receiving revenue sharing funds have reported that they often are receiving no more than they previously received from state or local sources. In many cases, general revenue sharing is not stimulating new services to unserved groups such as the handicapped or bilingual -- both priorities of LSCA. It is instead providing the kind of general operating support that had in prior years been provided by the local government.

American Library Association March, 1976 Washington Office SCHOOL LIBRARIES AND LEARNING RESOURCES

Title IV-B of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (PL 89-10 as amended by PL 89-750,90-247, 91-230 and 93-380)

Purpose of Program To make grants available to States for (1) the acquisition of school library resources, textbooks and other instructional materials; (2) the acquisition of instructional equipment including audiovisual equipment and minor remodeling; and (3) programs of testing, counseling and guidance, in public and private elementary and secondary schools •

.Authorization Extends through fiscal year 1978. Authorization for Title IV-Bis $395,000,000 for FY 1976 and such sums as may be necessary for the subsequent two years.

This program represents a consolidation of three former categorical programs: ESEA Title II (grants for school library resources), NDEA III (grants for educational equipment and minor remodeling), and part of ESEA Title III (grants for counseling, guidance and testing).

The authorizing legislation (PL 93-380) provides that the program be phased in during FY 1976, with half of the appropriated funds allocated to the individual cate­ gorical programs represented in the consolidation and the other half to the consoli­ dated Title IV-B, Libraries and Learning Resources. Provided certain conditions are met, the consolidated program ,r~plates the individual programs altogether in FY 1977.

This consolidation is conditional and requires each year: (1) forward funding, meaning Congress must appropriate funds for Libraries and Learning Resources a year in advance so that schools will be able to plan ahead for use of their Federal funds; and (2) maintenance of Federal funding at a minimum level. (It can go higher but no lower than "the level of the preceding fiscal year.") Only if these two conditions are met each year can the consolidation remain in effect. If they are not met, the categorical programs comprising the consolidation, including ESEA Title II, the school library resources title, become effective instead. ESEA Title II is author­ ized at $220 million annually through FY 1978, except that no funds are authorized during any year in which consolidation is in effect.

Appropriation ESEA Title IV-Bis a forward funded program. FY 1978 appropria­ tions are provided in FY 1977.

FY 1978 FY 1977 FY 1976 Authorization Necessary Sums Necessary Sums $395,000,000 Budget Recommendation $137,330,000 $137,330,000 137,330,000 Appropriation pending 147,330,000* 137,330,000

Principal Provisions Under the Libraries and Learning Resources Program the Com- missioner of Education must distribute the appropriation to the States on the basis of the ratio of the number of children in each State aged five to seventeen to the number of such children in all the States.

To qualify for ESEA Title IV-Beach State must set up an advisory council, pre­ pare a plan, and provide assurance that the Federal criteria for distributing the money throughout the State will be met.

*NB -- Although the Administration recommended on November 18, 1975 a $10 million rescission from the FY 1977 ESEA Title IV-B appropriation, Congress rejected this proposal. r - 2 - Funds are to be distributed among local educational agencies on the basis of public and private school enrollments, but "substantial funds" are to be provided to schools in areas where poverty has limited the tax money available for educati.on, where the local tax effort is higher than the State average but per-pupil expendi­ ture is still below average, and to schools in areas which have "the greatest num­ bers or percentages of children whose education imposes a higher than average cost per child, such as children from low-income families, children living in sparsely populated areas, and children from families in which English is not the dominant 1 anguage. "

The law requires that "each local educational agency will be given complete dis­ cretion ••• in determining how the funds it receives from appropriations under sec­ tion 40l(a) will be divided among the various programs described •••• " The program purposes are: (1) the acquisitiori i:,f school library resources; (2) the acquisition of instructional equipment; (3) a program of testing students in elementary and sec­ ondary schools; (4) programs of counseling and guidance services for students; and (5) programs designed to expand and strengthen counseling and guidance services in elementary and secondary schools.

ESEA IV-Bis being phased in during the 1975-76 school year, with half the ap­ propriated funds being used for the new consolidation, and the other half for the individual categorical programs. It is too early to determine how the consolidated program is working. The program will require careful scrutiny during the 1976-77 school year to evaluate its effect on school library service to the nation's 50 million school children.

Some Accomplishments Under ESEA One of the purposes of the ESEA Title IV-B, Li- braries and Learning Resources, and the sole purpose of its predecessor ESEA Title II, is to improve the learni~g ability of child• ren by making available high quality instructional materials. The record of success­ ful achievement is unmistakable and has been limited only by the level of funds available,

Federal funds supplied under ESEA Title II in the past have contributed to the improvement of educational quality in a number of ways, such as:

Development and revision of standards for instructional materials;

• Selection of materials appropriate for pupils and teachers who will use them;

Use of instructional materials in school programs for innovative curricular, and instructional techniques;

• Demonstration of superior media programs; • Support of special educational programs such as those for pupils in hospitals, correctional institutions, and schools for the men­ tally and physically handicapped.

Provision of materials for use in bilingual and early childhood education programs;

• Implementation of the national Right-to-Read objective by intro­ ducing and making accessible a wide range of media designed to assure the acquisition of basic reading skills by all who enter school; - 3 -

• Support of instruction in the area of social problems, such as drug abuse and environmental ecological education.

Use of School Library Resources Funds As reported by the U.S. Office of Education in surveys of the ESEA Title II program, funds have been used to supplement, not supplant local efforts. The greatest pro­ portion of funds spent for instructional materials comes from State and local sources. There can be no doubt that Title II, in addition to supplementing these funds, also stimulated State and local efforts even further. Yet despite increased expenditures from all sources, a generally acute need for materials continues to exist in nearly all school districts.

Reports from Title II program administrators, supervisors of instruction, and media specialists provide evidence that resources acquired under Title II have ef­ fected desirable changes in curriculum and instruction. The additional books, audio­ visuals, and other materials available to children and teachers create improved learning situations. A multimedia approach proves more stimulating than the time­ worn lecture and recitation methods,and provides reinforcement for retention of learning.

The Need for Adequate Appropriations for School Libraries and Learning Resources (ESEA Title IV-B) Thousands of elementary schools, especially in the less af- fluent areas of the country, lack library/media centers and the most recent survey of the States indicates that 15 percent or about 12,000 elementary schools lack libraries.

Student enrollment continues to rise in secondary schools where the provision of adequate library resources is essential to producing literate and informed high school graduates, the work force of tomorrow.

Last year, the average price of U.S. books rose 15 percent. Juvenile books now cost $5.82 on the average, up 16 percent over 1974 prices.

Continued funding for books and audiovisual materials is needed in light of rising costs on the one hand, and of growing demands on the part of pupils and teach­ ers alike for a wide range of library resources to meet each individual learner's special needs. The school library plays a central role in the educational process and its services are essential to the Nation's effort to provide equal educational opportunities to all the Nation's school children.

American Library Association March, 1976 Washington Office HIGHER EDUCATION ACT OF 1965

(PL 89-329 as amended by PL 89-752, PL 90-575 and PL 92-318)

TITLE II - COLLEGE LIBRARY RESOURCES AND LIBRARY TRAINING AND RESEARCH

Purpose Title II of the Higher Education Act is designed to improve the quality of academic libraries and to enhance library service throughout the nation by providing grants: (A) for the acquisition of books, periodicals and other library materials by colleges and universities; (B) for training librarians of all types, and for research and demonstration projects including adaptations of modern technology and devel9pment of new services to readers.

Authorization One-year extension expires at the end of FY 1976. Legislation to extend HEA has been reported favorably by both the House and Senate Subcommittees. Combined authorization for Parts A and Bis $100,000,000 for FY 1976. Of amounts authorized for Parts A and B, 70 percent is for college li­ brary resources (Part A) and 30 percent for training and research and demonstration (Part B), except that the amount available for the purpose of Part B for any fiscal year shall not be less than the amount appropriated for such purposes for FY 1972 ($4,750,000).

Part A: ColleRe Library Resources This section provides grants to institutions of higher education, their branches in other communities, to combinations of institutions, and to other public and private non­ profit library institutions which provide library and information services to in­ stitutions of higher education on a formal, cooperative basis. The grants may be used for books, periodicals, documents, magnetic tapes, phonograph records, audioM visual materials, and other related library materials, including law library re­ sources, and necessary binding.

Three types of grants are specified in the law: Basic Grants, Supplemental Grants, and seecial Purpose Grants. All Basic Grants must first be -;;tisfied. From the remaining sums, Supplemental and/or Special Purpose Grants may then be made, but no more than 25 percent of the money for Part A may be used for Special Purpose Grants.

Basic Grants of up to $5,000 shall be approved by the Commissioner of Education provided that the institution maintains the previous level of expenditure for library programs (except in special and unusual circum­ stances). New institutions may also apply for basic grants in the fis­ cal year before students are actually enrolled.

Supplemental Grants of up to $20 per full-time student may be awarded by the Commissioner, after all Baoic Grants have been satisfied, to in­ stitutions which demonstrate a special need for library assistance.

seecial Purpose Grants may be made by the Commissioner to help meet special institutional, regional or national library needs, either in a single college or in a combination of colleges. Matching funds of $1 for every $3 of Federal money are required. There is also a maintenance of effort provision.

An Advisory Council on College Library Resources is authorized to assist the Commissioner in establishing criteria for making supplemental and special purpose grants. I - 2 -

Need for Adequate Appropriations for HEA II College library resources are being acquired in new areas as libraries attempt to meet dramatic changes in the composition of student bodies, the rapid development of new course materials and new teaching methods, and a growing effort by colL::gcc &nd univorciti20 to o:2 rv,::: th,~ir curroundin13 cocnunitbs •

• As more and more institutions of postsecondary education adopt policies admitting students with diverse academic backgrounds and abilities, the demand increases for new programs tailored to students' special needs. Many colleges and universities have de­ veloped courses geared to the needs of the bilingual, the specially gifted, the veteran, the culturally deprived or underachiever, or for the retired who never had the opportunity for a college educa• tion. I - 3 - These programs are placing new demands on academic libraries, requir­ ing different approaches to meeting the needs of students. To take one example, remedial materials and special teaching and learning aids must be provided for those students who would not have been considered "college material" a decade ago, and for those returning after a long absence who need to review basic skills. Indeed, an increasing number of recent high school graduates require this special help before they can go on to regular college classes.

An increasing percentage of college enrollments consists of mature students returning to college and part-time students holding down jobs, and these students want practical, job-oriented education. The recent strong emphasis on vocational programs is expected to continue. By the end of the decade one out of ten students will be engaged in technical or semi-professional education. These programs require new types of books, periodicals, manuals and audiovisual materials.

More and more academic libraries serve as the hub of an area or regional cooperative network, serving members of the community indirectly -- as a backup resource for reference queries and interlibrary loan requests; and directly -- through use of their facilities and cooperative borrowing privileges. A recent sampl­ ing of 200 college libraries showed that 91 percent make mate• rials available to users other than their own academic community.

The price of essential library materials continues to rise sha~ply. The average U.S. book price was $16.19 in 1975, up 15 percent for the second year in a row. The average subscription price of a U.S. periodical was $19.94, a rise of over 11 percent from the previous year. The price of chemistry and physics journals has reached an average of $76.84. Many institutions spend over half their book budgets on periodicals, and are managing to keep their journal runs intact only by cutting back on new book pur­ chases.

These new demands on college and university libraries cannot be met success­ fully without a wide range of up-to-date pertinent library resources readily avail­ able.

Training in librarianship and information science at the paraprofessional, master's and post-master's level is a continuing need as are short-term courses to update the knowledge and skills of practicing librarians.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported last year that although there is an equilibrium between library school graduates and regular library jobs, "demand is expected to remain strong for black and other minority librarians, community outreach librar­ ians, media/audiovisual specialists, and library automation specialists." Special academic programs which train professional librarians from diverse ethnic and cultural backgrounds must be continued so that all citizens can have adequate library service matched with their needs.

New patterns of library service now being developed all over the country to serve previously isolated groups such as the aging, the I - 4 - hospitalized, the bilingual, the handicapped and the prison inmate also require increasing numbers of specially-trained librarians.

New technology in the form of interlibrary computer networks, on­ line information retrieval, and cable television, is rapidly chang­ ing the nature of much library work. Library staff must be trained and retrained to work with these technological advances.

The training programs such as the following have been made possible through HEA Title II-B funding:

Graduate library education for Mexican-Americans

Handicapped persons as library paraprofessionals

Expanding library service to disadvantaged adults

Doctoral program for librarians from minority groups

Statewide library planning and evaluation

Cable TV for librarians

Training American Indians to become school library media specialists

Improvement of library and information service and its effective extension to all American citizens no matter where they may live or work depend to a great ex­ tent upon an active program of research and demonstration. The following kinds of projects have been supported by REA Title Il•B:

Surveying library and information needs of prison populations

Demonstration library projects in American Indian communities

Exploration of the public library approach to nontraditional study

Feasibility of on-line network cataloging service for small libraries

Providing comprehensive library services for the aged

Development of exemplary right-to-read projects for children, youth and adults

Many of the nation's postsecondary institutions are being forced to cut back on their acquisition of library resources. With the severe fiscal constraints of today expected to continue into the future, the nation's educational and research resources may suffer a permanent loss. At the very least, these institutions will be in the position several years hence of trying to fill costly gaps in their col­ lections caused by neglect during the present period.

As access to accurate and timely information becomes more and more essential to effective participation in today's post-industrial society, the profession of li­ brary and information science takes on added importance. The nation's library re­ sources are a national resource available to all American people. Adequate funding of HEA II is an important ingredient in the continuous effort being made in all parts of the country to extend library service of high quality to all the people.
