[Lan] Dyson was appointed University Librarian at UC Santa Cruz’s University Library in August 1979, and retired in July 2003. This oral history, conducted as part of the Regional History Project’s University History Series, is a singular contribution to the documentation of twenty-four years of history, not only of UCSC’s University Library, but also of a period of extensive technological and cultural transformations in academic librarianship in the United States.1 Born in 1942, Dyson grew up in Salem, New Hampshire, then a relatively rural area of New England. He was among the first students at his public high school to win a scholarship to an Ivy League school. At Harvard, he played a leadership role in the largest student-run social service organization, and received a military commission through the Reserve Officer Training Corps. After graduation, he was assigned as a U.S. Army second lieutenant to the nearby Watertown Arsenal. There he was appointed the chief administrative services officer, developing management skills that would serve him well in future positions in library administration. Following his two years of active duty in the army, Dyson entered Simmons College library school in 1966. He was interested in pursuing library management as a career and therefore planned to work in public libraries, where more management positions existed at the time. But fate and opportunity led in other directions, and Dyson was offered the position of assistant to the director of libraries at Columbia University, where 1In 1993 the Regional History Project published Donald T. Clark: Early UCSC History and the Founding of the University Library. Those readers who peruse both Dyson’s and Clark’s volumes can trace nearly all of the history of the University Library.—Editor. page ii Lan Dyson: Introduction he stayed for three years, working under three different directors, each with distinct management styles. There he also developed skills and experience in the emerging field of library instruction, and attended a pre-conference session on library instruction in the undergraduate library at the American Library Association’s conference in Dallas in 1971. At that event he was recruited by the University of California at Berkeley for the position of head of their new Moffitt Undergraduate Library. Dyson held this position from September 1971 to July 1979, during a period of great political upheaval, as well as expansion of the library’s collection and staff. Dyson arrived as university librarian at UCSC in 1979, just as the University Library faced a series of formidable challenges. The first was coping with some volatile interpersonal conflicts among managers that had arisen in a period of turmoil during which the previous university librarian and two assistant university librarians had been removed from their positions. “The situation at UCSC was pretty ugly at that point,” Dyson recalls. “I was actually told I should not take the job because the UCSC library was a ‘snake pit.’” A second challenge was implementing the library’s first automated circulation system, Computer Library Systems Incorporated [CLSI]. When Dyson arrived, little had been accomplished in planning to bring this soon-to-arrive system online. A third problem afflicting the young library was the woefully inadequate nature of the building which housed its science collections. UCSC’s Science Library at the time was a building that was originally meant to store the collections of the Lick Observatory, a “fortress” that lacked bathrooms and adequate office space for library staff, had almost Lan Dyson: Introduction page iii no windows, and only a dumb-waiter for an elevator. The basement of the building, originally intended to be a storage room, had been utilized for the expanding collections. The ceiling was so low that taller patrons were in danger of hitting their heads on the protruding fire sprinklers. Furthermore, the size of the collection had outstripped the space available in the Science Library, and many of the books and journals had been shifted to McHenry Library. This created a situation where irritated and sweaty library users hiked up and down a rather steep hill to secure their research materials. One of Dyson’s most impressive accomplishments was leading the planning, design and implementation of a new, world-class Science Library, which opened in 1991. Dyson took an unusual, hands-on role in the design and planning of this project; he chaired the building committee and participated in almost all construction meetings. The prestigious architectural firm Esherick, Homsey, Dodge, and Davis (who also designed the world-famous Monterey Bay Aquarium) was selected to design the new library. The firm solicited input from faculty, library staff and students. The new Science Library is filled with light that filters through the coastal redwoods that surround the site. The building won the 1993 Gold Medal award from the American Institute of Architects/ American Library Association, among other accolades. In 2001 it was renamed the Science and Engineering Library. Dyson’s lively and detailed narration of the many considered steps that went into completing this remarkable building is one of the most fascinating contributions of this oral history. Dyson also discusses the benefits and challenges of being the smallest library within the UC system. As a small research library UCSC also had “to make up, in terms of service, what we lacked in terms of resources,” Dyson explains, and it is this service-oriented page iv Lan Dyson: Introduction approach which formed the heart of his management philosophy. The cultivation of a strong and expert library staff was a core element of this managerial approach, as was maintaining a relatively flat organizational chart, where staff had easy access to management. Dyson characterizes his management philosophy as one based in “effervescence theory,” in which a manager creates a climate where staff feel encouraged to share creative ideas which then “bubble up” to management. This model fostered the excellence of many of the dedicated professional and support staff who have contributed to the high quality of the University Library. This narrative also provides a window into the general history of the UC Santa Cruz campus. Dyson served under several academic and executive vice chancellors, as well as four chancellors, and shares his recollections of each of those figures. He chaired the Campus Lands Management Advisory Committee for many years, and outlines some of the controversial land use issues the UCSC campus faced during this period of considerable growth. Somewhat atypically for a university librarian, Dyson had served as systemwide president of the Librarians Association of the University of California before coming to UCSC . He discusses the evolution and complexities of that organization. This chapter of the interview is an insightful contribution to the history of librarianship within the University of California.

  • Information-Seeking Behavior in Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM): an Online Survey of Faculty at a Health Sciences Campus*
    Information-seeking behavior in complementary and alternative medicine (CAM): an online survey of faculty at a health sciences campus* By David J. Owen, M.L.S., Ph.D. [email protected] Education Coordinator, Basic Sciences Min-Lin E. Fang, M.L.I.S. [email protected] Information Services Librarian Kalmanovitz Library and Center for Knowledge Management University of California, San Francisco San Francisco, California 94143-0840 Background: The amount of reliable information available for complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) is limited, and few authoritative resources are available. Objective: The objective is to investigate the information-seeking behavior of health professionals seeking CAM information. Methods: Data were gathered using a Web-based questionnaire made available to health sciences faculty af®liated with the University of California, San Francisco. Results: The areas of greatest interest were herbal medicine (67%), relaxation exercises (53%), and acupuncture (52%). About half the respondents perceived their CAM searches as being only partially successful. Eighty-two percent rated MEDLINE as a useful resource, 46% personal contacts with colleagues, 46% the Web, 40% journals, and 20% textbooks. Books and databases most frequently cited as useful had information about herbs. The largest group of respondents was in internal medicine (26%), though 15% identi®ed their specialties as psychiatry, psychology, behavioral medicine, or addiction medicine. There was no correlation between specialty and patterns of information- seeking behavior. Sixty-six percent expressed an interest in learning more about CAM resources. Conclusions: Health professionals are frequently unable to locate the CAM information they need, and the majority have little knowledge of existing CAM resources, relying instead on MEDLINE.

Oral history is a method of collecting historical information through tape-recorded interviews between a narrator with firsthand knowledge of historically significant events and a well- informed interviewer, with the goal of preserving substantive additions to the historical record. The tape recording is transcribed, lightly edited for continuity and clarity, and reviewed by the interviewee. The corrected manuscript is indexed, bound with photographs and illustrative materials, and placed in The Bancroft Library at the University of California, Berkeley, and in other research collections for scholarly use. Because it is primary material, oral history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events. It is a spoken account, offered by the interviewee in response to questioning, and as such it is reflective, partisan, deeply involved, and irreplaceable.

A quorum was present. Approval of Minutes The minutes of the May 10, 2005 meeting were approved unanimously as amended. Chair’s Report Chair Clarke briefly reviewed her involvement with the Planning Subcommittee and the important work they have completed. She suggested that the Committee hear K. Butter’s report before engaging in a discussion about library space planning. Librarian’s Report K. Butter distributed a draft report of Recommendations on Utilization of Library Space (Appendix A). She also distributed supplemental documents used in formulating the recommendations. The supplemental documents included: Student Library Space Survey Response. The survey, which queried students on what they like about the library, and what they would like in the library, garnered 674 responses. (Appendix B) Appendix C contains the detailed responses. The charges are broken out by school and are followed by conclusions. Analysis of Study Space. The survey showed that there are different seating preferences. Seating near a window, computer work stations, and access to support staff were all highly valued. Conversely, socialization/group study was not ranked highly as a priority, especially amongst graduate students.
