In the sports world, the phrase “behind the numbers” promises a more detailed, nuanced examination that gives basic statistics more meaning. For example, a quarter - back who goes twenty-five for thirty-two has had a good game; he’s completed more than seventy-eight percent of his passes.
But how many of those passes were for touchdowns? How many were desperation tosses on fourth down when the team was behind? And – though it’s not so much behind the numbers as the first number most sports fans look at – did the team win? Letter
Each year in the UCLA Library’s progress report, we present a page of statistics that from the report on standard figures such as number of volumes, number of visitors, size of staff, and allocations of income and expenditures. Comparisons across years or with University other academic libraries may offer some insight into what these figures mean, but it may be even more useful to look behind the numbers, at the individual stories or Librarian departmental accomplishments that comprise them.
Behind the millions of UCLA students, faculty, and staff, researchers from other universities and countries, and members of the general public who visit the campus libraries each year in person or online are individual reasons. An undergraduate wants to borrow a laptop to use in class. A graduate student is finishing his thesis and wants to make sure it meets campus requirements. A faculty member is working with an archival collec - tion. A member of the public heard about a memorable exhibit.
Equally diverse reasons lie behind the numbers who used the Library’s reference and instructional services. An undergraduate needs help starting on a research paper. A graduate student is publishing her first article in an academic journal and wants to know if she should sign or modify the author agreement. A faculty member asks a librarian to teach a class session on useful resources in the course’s subject area. A member of the public wants to know if access to the libraries is restricted and whether he can use library materials.
Two invisible but essential threads connect the individual stories with the statistics summarizing UCLA Library accomplishments: staff and funding. Highly trained, dedicated staff make possible everything the Library does and offers, from selecting items to add to collections and developing technological platforms that seamlessly deliver online services to stamping due dates in books that users check out at circulation desks. Whether you see a staff person or not, you can rest assured that one is or was there: repairing a damaged book, scanning a manuscript, answering a quick question, or providing a detailed research consultation.
And without funding, there would be no staff, no books, no services, no facilities. The statistics show where we get our funding and how we spend it, but they fail to capture how important every single dollar of that funding is, regardless of its source.
The reality “behind the numbers” – our dedicated staff and visionary donors – enables the UCLA Library to support the instructional, research, and public service mission of this great university and to make sure UCLA students, faculty, and staff come out on top regardless of the assignments, subjects, or challenges they face. On behalf of all of our users, I thank you.

The Numbers Can’t Begin to Tell the Story
Behind the nearly 8.4 million volumes, more than fifty thousand serial titles, and some 230,000 electronic resources in UCLA Library collections stand more meaningful figures: the virtually countless students, faculty, staff, scholars, researchers, and members of the public who pulled a book off a shelf, read an article, consulted an online encyclopedia, looked at an archival document.
In the Land of the Headhunters
UCLA music librarian David Gilbert was one of hundreds of people who came to Performing Arts Special Collections during the 2007/08 fiscal year with unique projects in mind. Created from the performing arts materials formerly housed in the separate Arts Library Special Collections and Music Library Special Collections, its holdings encompass more than four hundred collections of historical records and personal papers in film, television, theater, and music.
Gilbert was one member of a multidisciplinary team created to restore famed photographer Edward Curtis’s (1868-1952) 1914 silent film In the Land of the Headhunters, the first feature-length film to exclusively star indigenous North Americans. A romantic melodrama set before the arrival of Europeans, the film features love, war, and ritual among the Kwakwaka’wakw (Kwakiutl) of British Columbia, who performed in Curtis’s scripted version of their past. Filming of In the Land of the Headhunters
At its December 1914 premiere at the Casino Theater in New York City, the film was accompanied by an orchestral score composed by John J. Braham, best known for his work with Gilbert and Sullivan. One of the earliest original scores for a silent film, Braham’s music was thought to be lost, until University of British Columbia postdoctoral fellow Aaron Glass made a discovery in the Edward S. Curtis Collection at the Getty Research Institute while d0ing research for his dissertation. What he found consisted of a manuscript draft score and instrumental parts made by a copyist; the manuscript was an early version of the music, while the parts were used by the orchestra for the premiere.
Glass approached Gilbert to restore the score so it could be performed again. Since the complete score in the Getty’s collection was only a draft, Gilbert instead used the instrumental parts as the basis for his restoration.
Markings on the parts proved invaluable. During rehearsals the musicians had scratched out sections of their parts and noted where sections were altered and shortened as they worked to fit the music to the film. They also occasionally wrote in cues, like “man climbs hill,” “fire dance,” or “three bears in boat.” Prior to its restoration by the UCLA Film and Television Archive, the film no longer existed in a complete form, so these cues also provided film preser- vationist Jere Guldin with clues to its continuity.
A little-known treasure in Performing Arts Special Collections helped Gilbert with the next step of the reconstruction, which was to match the music to the

film. There was no fixed procedure for this process, but Gilbert discovered that the UCLA Library had one of the few copies in existence of the score Joseph Carl Breil wrote for for D. W. Griffith’s 1915 silent film The Birth of a Nation . Using that as a reference, he worked with a work print of the restored film to match Braham’s music to In the Land of the Headhunters and to add tempos, repeats, and even silences to the score.
The restored film and score were given their world premiere on June 5, 2008, with the score performed live by the UCLA Philharmonia. The film is now on a national tour; further information on the tour and the entire restoration project is available on the Web site at

Just as David Gilbert walked through the UCLA Library’s physical doors to com - plete a project that brought Library resources and expertise to a broader audience in Los Angeles and beyond, Paul Dover, assistant professor of history at Kennesaw State University, walked through the Library’s virtual doors to use its resources Joseph Carl Breil.

Special Collections Since 2002 the James and Sylvia Thayer Short-Term Research Fellowships have supported the use of special collections materials by visiting scholars and UCLA graduate students. And in 2008 Dover was the first recipient of a “virtual” fellow - ship: funding that would have been awarded to him to travel to UCLA to view a rare book in person was instead used to digitize the book so that he could access it remotely.

Department of Special Collections, this copy was printed in 1512 in Pesaro, Italy, by Gershom Soncino, a Jewish printer who was forced by religious persecution to lead an itinerant existence.
Dover wanted to examine the volume for a book chapter he is contributing to Encyclopedism before the Enlightenment, edited by Jason Koenig and scheduled to be published by Cambridge University Press.
He was particularly interested in the extensive marginalia this copy contains, which are believed to have been made by Camilli Gradi (1531-80), who signed his name and the amount he paid for the book at the end.

Yet the Library was able to provide both extremely high-resolution scans and a user-friendly interface that makes it possi - ble to page through the volume, greatly enlarge small sections of pages, and easily shift from one section to another.
Now that the volume has been digitized, this single virtual fellowship will have broader applications, as scholars learn of its availability online and access it for their own research. The supporting technology has already proven useful in other applications, including to view documents in the Orsini Family Papers, an archive of one of the most powerful Italian families during the Renaissance.
Though these two projects are small in number – just two users, only a few items – their significance is enormous. As In the Land of the Headhunters is seen by audiences and the story of its unique rediscovery and restoration is discovered by film and music historians and scholars, and as the digitized text of a sixteenth- century “encyclopedia” is consulted virtually by scholars and its marginalia explored in academic publications, both these resources and their users will have an impact vastly larger than a simple entry on a statistics page can ever tell.

Intellectual Property in the Digital Age
One story that no UCLA Library statistics can tell is about the untold numbers who have been helped by an scholarly article published by a UCLA researcher. When parents struggling with a child’s difficult diagnosis in another part of the country find such an article, which may give them hope for a new treatment option, that doesn’t show up in any of the figures the Library is able to track.

Next-Generation
Though all these services could be quantified in one way or another, their true value is practically immeasurable. When users are able to find a suitable place in a library to study or do research, search for holdings in UCLA’s collections and far beyond, find heavily used items that have been carefully repaired and quickly reshelved, and make copies to take home, they may not know about the planning, effort, and staff behind each of those services. And that’s as it should be. { UCLA Librarian } progress report 2007-08 page 14

Knowledge and Beauty: The Legacy of Franklin D. Murphy October - December 2007 Charles E. Young Research Library
No knowledge is unimportant. No response to beauty is unimportant. And, in fact, the most exciting thing of all is the exploration of new and interesting and beautiful things. – Franklin D. Murphy
Admired and respected by all who knew him as a doctor, educator, administrator, and business executive, Franklin D. Murphy left an indelible mark on every institution with which he was associated. As chancellor of UCLA from 1960 to 1968, he shepherded the university through a period of dramatic growth on its rise toward what he termed “scholarly distinction in worldwide terms.”
In 1975, with support from the Ahmanson Foundation, he established the Franklin E. Murphy, MD Fund at the UCLA Library in honor of his father. This endowment helps ensure that the Louise M. Darling Biomedical Library History and Special Collections for the Sciences can continue to build one of the preeminent collections of rare medical and scientific works dating from the fifteenth to the twentieth centuries.
This exhibit honored Murphy’s legacy by featuring selections from the remarkable collection that has been built with the proceeds from this fund.
Fighting the Fires of Hate: America and the Nazi Book Burnings February - April 2008 Charles E. Young Research Library
Just a few months after Adolf Hitler came to power in Nazi Germany and six years before World War II began, German university students launched an Action Against the Un-German Spirit. Tar- geting authors ranging from Helen Keller and Ernest Hemingway to Albert Einstein and Sigmund Freud, they orchestrated book burnings across Germany that foreshadowed the realization of nineteenth-century German-Jewish writer Heinrich Heine’s warning “where one burns books, one soon burns people.”
Organized by the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, DC, this traveling exhibition provided a vivid look at the first steps the Nazis took to suppress freedom of expression, the strong response that occurred in the U.S. immediately and during the war, and the continued presence of this incendiary event in public discourse throughout the ensuing years. It was complemented by an exhibit of items from related UCLA Library collections, including those of Ray Bradbury, Dr. Caesar Hirsch, Ernst Toch, Franz Werfel, and Eric Zeisl.

Portrait of a Jewish Artist: R . B. Kitaj in Text and Image January - April 2008 Charles E. Young Research Library Department of Special Collections
Renowned as a major figurative painter, Kitaj was also a notable intellec - tual, conversant in the history of art, philosophy, and aesthetics. Among his favorite topics of conversation – as well as the source of inspiration for his later painting and writing – was what he called the “Jewish ques - tion,” the surprising persistence of both anti-Semitism and Jewish intellectual creativity in the modern age.
An exploration of the life, legacy, and Jewish obsession of this important Los Angeles-based artist, this exhibit featured items drawn from the personal archive of papers Kitaj donated to UCLA shortly before his death in October 2007. It included selections from his extensive correspondence, personal and published writings, drawings, sketches, prints, designs for book covers, and books.
Organized by David N. Myers, professor of history and director of the UCLA Center for Jewish Studies, it was held in conjunction with “R . B. Kitaj: Passion and Memory – Jewish Works from His Personal Collection” at the Skirball Cultural Center.
Middle Eastern Americans on the Move September-December 2007 Powell Library Rotunda
Middle Eastern Americans have been contributing to American culture for more than a century, yet the commu - nity has remained largely invisible as a defined group. Among its members are numerous personalities and public figures, including politicians, activists, business and community leaders, educators, philanthropists, scientists, artists, and entertainers.
The first U.S. exhibit of items and programs reflecting the literary, cinematic, scholarly, and cultural output of this panethnic community, it featured popular culture items such as cookbooks, literature, magazines, and news - papers; scholarly works by UCLA faculty and students documenting UCLA’s impact on the emerging field of Middle Eastern American studies; archival documents; and documentaries and feature films.
The exhibit was co-sponsored by the UCLA Center for Near Eastern Studies; the departments of comparative literature, English, and sociology; and the UCLA International Institute.

Collection Endowment Initiative The Collection Endowment Initiative provides critically needed funds to acquire, preserve, and make accessible library materials in a particular subject area of interest. Collection endowments begin at $25,000, and the Library invites donors to make a single gift or to build an endowed fund over several years. Special bookplates reflecting the interests of the philanthropist are designed in consultation with the donor and affixed to each printed item added to Library collections that was made possible by his or her generosity.
Center for Primary Research and Training The Center for Primary Research and Training offers UCLA graduate students the opportunity to work with primary source materials in the Charles E. Young Research Library Department of Special Collec- tions, thereby integrating special collections materials further into the teaching and research mission of the university. Support for this program provides funding for graduate students each quarter, for five to ten participants each quarter, as well as a special naming opportunity to interested donors.
The UCLA Library Associates Support from the UCLA Library Associates annual giving program ensures that critical needs, from special opportunity acquisitions to information literacy programs, are addressed. Discretionary funds available to the university librarian will make a significant impact on the quality, innovative resources and services that the UCLA Library is able to offer. The generosity of each Library Associates member is acknowledged through invitations to a variety of stimulating activities throughout the year and courtesies such as borrowing privileges.
