Abstract Key terms: integrated pest management, pest’s survey, preservation of library and Libraries and archives have the jurisdiction to acquire, archival materials protect, and provide information resource to the public for as long as possible. Consequently, libraries and Introduction archives are obliged to preserve collections in perpetuity.

As part of preservation, libraries and and for that reason, they have the archives have the responsibility to monitor and control responsibility to preserve collections. pests within their collections. The general purpose of According to the International Federation of this study was to investigate the Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA) monitoring/inspections of pests, pest prevention, pest publication; Principles for the Preservation control and challenges observed at UB-Library with and Conservation of Library Materials, a the view to make recommendations for improvement. Records and Archives Management The study was conducted using a survey methodology Programme (RAMP Study) (Vinas, 1989:79) and data collection was conducted using observation preservation “includes all the managerial and and document analysis tools. The findings of the survey financial considerations, including storage and revealed a significant number of pests that are present accommodation provisions, staffing levels, in the UB-Library including badister bullatus, policies, techniques and methods involved in spiders, grasshopper, house cricket, birds-dove preserving library and archive materials and (columbidae), cockroaches, strawberry seed beetles, flea, information contained in them.” In other silverfish, moth, ants and flies (Black and blue flies). words, preservation is a presiding managerial Despite the presence of guidelines on inspection, function of coordinating the endeavor to prevention and pest control measures at UB-Library, retard deterioration and prevent damage by lack of supportive structures to pest management creating conditions optimal for the programme such as funding procedures, prioritization, continuation of cultural heritage materials as policies statements on pests and proper coordination of compatible with their social use. As part of IPM programme was observed as major challenges. preservation, libraries and archives are obliged This study therefore recommends an adoption of a to protect collections from pests.

    30 THE GREAT LAKES ENTOMOLOGIST Vol. 42, Nos. 1 & 2 An Annotated Checklist of Wisconsin Ground Beetles (Coleoptera: Carabidae) Peter W. Messer1 Abstract A survey of Carabidae in the state of Wisconsin, U.S.A. yielded 87 species new to the state and incorporated 34 species previously reported from the state but that were not included in an earlier catalogue, bringing the total number of species to 489 in an annotated checklist. Collection data are provided in full for the 87 species new to Wisconsin but are limited to county occurrences for 187 rare species previously known in the state. Recent changes in nomenclature pertinent to the Wisconsin fauna are cited. ____________________ The Carabidae, commonly known as ‘ground beetles’, with 34, 275 described species worldwide is one of the three most species-rich families of extant beetles (Lorenz 2005). Ground beetles are often chosen for study because they are abun- dant in most terrestrial habitats, diverse, taxonomically well known, serve as sensitive bioindicators of habitat change, easy to capture, and morphologically pleasing to the collector. North America north of Mexico accounts for 2635 species which were listed with their geographic distributions (states and provinces) in the catalogue by Bousquet and Larochelle (1993). In Table 4 of the latter refer- ence, the state of Wisconsin was associated with 374 ground beetle species. That is more than the surrounding states of Iowa (327) and Minnesota (323), but less than states of Illinois (452) and Michigan (466). The total count for Minnesota was subsequently increased to 433 species (Gandhi et al. 2005). Wisconsin county distributions are known for 15 species of tiger beetles (subfamily Cicindelinae) (Brust 2003) with collection records documented for Tetracha virginica (Grimek 2009).

Blacklight and pitfall insect trapping in southern Ohio upland mixed-oak forests, underway since 1995 as part of long term ecological studies exploring the effects of prescribed burning protocols, has produced a number of new Ohio distributional records for ground beetles (Carabidae) and Lepidoptera (Purrington and Stanton 1996, Purrington and Horn 1996).
