PERS~ VISITS. Face to face discussion is the m::,st effective means of carrnunication, a.rrl essential to the establishment of a solid working re lationship if you do not already kn:M each other. A meeting is m::,re easily arranged early in a session, before pressures build up.

All legislators have one or m::,re district offices. Visits there will often be m::,re convenient for you than in Washington. Manbers of Congress return periodically (check with the district office), during Congressional recesses, a.rrl between sessions.

Constituents are always welcane in Washi.n:Jton. Be sure you have a finn appointment. Use the district office to make local or capitol appointments. (Get to know district staffs: secretaries a.rrl administrative assistants. Close working relationships will benefit in many ways.)

Take along others -- library director, trustee, Frierrl, representative of a ccrrmunity organization, citizen activist. Keep the delegation small enough for an easy exchange of viewpoints with the legislator. Leave your card a.rrl any written infornation you may have prepared. Follow up with a letter of appreciation for the ti.ID= given to you, a.rrl in::lude any additional infornation suggested by the visit. ·

••••• TEIEPHC?IB CALI.S. Once you have made the acquaintance of your representative, ~ telepoone calls are appropriate arrl easy. Make them sparingly to the &....II legislator, woose ti.ID= is heavily occupied. (Regular cxmtact with staff is possible a.rrl desirable. )

Telep:tone to ask support before a hearing or floor vote; to ask for help with legislative colleagues; to convey urgent local cooce.rn. Judge hcM far to p.rrsue by the reaction. Renember that it is m::,re difficult for a legislator to targ:x)rize in a conversation than by letter.

I.E.ITERS, LE'ITERS, I.ETIERS. 'lhese are the chief fuel which pc:MerS any ~ legislative vehicle. '!hey are reacl. '!hey elicit responses. They represent votes. (F.ach letter writer is deemed to represent several "b1! like-mirrled if less highly m::,tivated constituents.)

Letters may be fornal or informal, typewritten or harrlwritten. They s:tould be catlfX)sed by you, giving your reasons for your position (a.rrl giving the legislator reasons to support it). If you are asking support for a particular bill, cite it by number a.rrl aut:tor, a.rrl give its title or subject matter.

'I'EI..B3RAMS & MAII.GRAMS. 'lhese are fast, easy ways to cx::mrunicate with legislators when the nee:i for action is critical: just prior to a cx:mnittee or floor vote. Use Western Union's nationwide toll-free telep:tone number: 800-257-2241. Varicus low rates are available. * * * FIVE BASIC RUIE.5 FOR EFF'ECl1v£ C'OM.JNICATICN

1. Be Brief. A legislator's ti.ID= is limited. So is yoors. 2. Be Appreciative. Ackn:::Mledge past support, a.rrl convey thanks for current action. 3. Be Specific. Refer to local library arx1 district needs. 4. Be Informative. Give reasons why a measure sh:>uld be supported. S. Be Courteous. Ask; do not danarrl or threaten. Be positive l:ut polite.

AIA Was~n Office 1984, with thanks to california Library Association. The most frequently used, correct forms of address are:

To your Senator: To your Representative: The Honorable (full name) The Honorable (full name) United States Senate U.S. House of Representatives Washington, D.C. 20510 Washington, D.C. 20515

"Sincerely yours" is in good taste as a complimentary close. Remember to sign your given name and surname. If you use a title in your signature, be sure to enclose it in parentheses. Forms similar to the above, addressed to your state capital, are appropriate for your state representatives and senators. Where possible use your official letterhead. If this is not in order, and you write as an individual, use plain white bond paper, and give your official title following your signature as a means of identification and to indicate your competency to speak on the subject.

SELECT COMMITTEE ~nittd ~tatts ~matt ON AGING WASHINGTON, O.C. 20510 SMALL BUSINESS

April 3, 1984

The Honorable Mark S. Fowler Chairman Federal Communications Commission Washington, D.C. 20554

Dear Mr. Chairman:

We are writing to ask the Commission to consider a library private line service. Under this service, all exchange and interexchange carriers would furnish entities providing non-profit bibliographic services with unswitched point-to-point service under the terms and conditions in effect September 30, 1983 with modest annual adjustments.

We believe that without such a class of service, universal access to information through libraries is seriously jeopardized. The drastic increases in telecommunications costs facing libraries could prevent them from performing their historic role of providing universal in formation access to the public. As more and more information is only available electronically, libraries serve as the one ins ti tut ion which makes access to electronic information universally available.

In the last 15 years, a quiet revolution has taken place in libraries as more services and processes have become automated. Caught in the double bind of tighter budgets and increased dependence on tele communications networks, libraries have adapted data processing and resource sharing through telecommunications to increase their effi ciency and provide cost-effective library services to the widest possible population. Thousands of libraries, serving perhaps 50 percent of the nation's population, adapt private, voice-grade multi point telecommunications circuits to data transmission. This reduces the labor-intensive nature of library materials processing and enables any library user to gain access to the country's library resources.

Through a system of "bibliographic utilities"--such as the Online Computer Library Center (OCLC), the Research Libraries Information Network and the Washington Library Network, as well as regional and state library networks--libraries created nationwide bibliographic databases. The largest of these, OCLC, is a non-profit organization near Columbus, Ohio, whose database contains more than ten million bibliographic records and over 147 million location listings. Li braries gain access to OCLC through a system of regional 1 ibrary networks over private telephone lines leased from AT&T. Private line Tariff FCC No. 3 filed last October by AT&T Communications would I ••

- 2 - increase current charges for connection to OCLC by an average of 73 percent. Three-quarters of the regional networks face increases of 70 percent or more, with the highest at 138 percent. Individual li braries,- to whom thes~ costs are passed through, face increases as high as 183 percent. Libraries are typically publicly funded and supported, and operate on fixed budgets. They cannot pass additional unbudgeted expenses on to their patrons. Large libraries will probably direct book budget funds to pay telecommunications costs, thus degrading service. Smaller libraries may have to discontinue automated services or postpone plans to begin them. We v~ew libraries as the common carriers of information and a library private line service as consistent with the universal service philo sophy of the 1934 Communications Act. It is also consistent with the philosophy of several existing federal programs, including the 1 ibrary postal rate, which encourage and support libraries in the use of available technologies to share resources and provide cost-effective services. In summary, we ask the Commission to initiate a proposed rulemaking regarding a library private line service, and to request carriers to engage in preparatory engineering meetings for such a service. We look forward to hearing from you. Sincerely, . - .. . .. 'lARRY PRESSLER COMMITTIES: SOUTH DAKOTA FOREIGN RELATIONS

We look forward to hearing from you. Sincerely, TELEC01',1MUNICATIONS - ACTION NEEDF.D

IATEST EFFORT: Sen. Larry Pressler (R-SD), a member of the Senate Ccrnnunications Subcormri.ttee, is in the process of distributing a "Dear Colleaque" to all Senators asking for Senate signatures on a letter to be sent to the Federal . Communications Comnission on libraries and telecom:nunications. The letter will ask the FCC to consider a library private line service. Under this service, carriers 'WOUld furnish private line service to entities providing nonprofit bibliographic services (that is, public, school, academic, and medical li braries and cooperative library networks) at rates in effect on September 30, 1983, with modest annual adjustments. ACTION NEEDED: Library supporters should imnediately urge their own Senators to sign on to Sen. Pressler' s letter to the FCC. The more signatures it contains, the more effect the letter will have. Senate offices may or may not have received a copy of the letter from Sen. Pressler by the time you visit. There are two copies of the letter in each participant folder so that you may leave one with your Senator or staffer, who should call Diane Swenson at 224-5842 to sign on. Earlier this year, Sen. Pressler developed a library amendment to Senate telephone legislation. A motion to bring that bill (S. 1660) to the floor was defeated, so the amendment was not able to be offered. Sen. Pressler said at that time he 'WOuld look for another way to protect libraries from the devastating impact of pending telecomnunications costs. His new effort de serves enthusiastic supJ)Ort. Status of Pending Increases. Recent FCC actions delay higher phone charges and tariffs until June. The flat access charge of $6 per line per m:mth for multiline business customers, including many libraries, has been postponed until June 13. The new tariff for AT&T's interstate private line service (used by CCLC, RLIN, and WIN for library data comnunications) has :been suspended until June 1. Previous estimates of increases for library use of private lines averaged 73%, with the highest regional CCLC network at 138% and individual libraries as high as 183%. Estimates of new rates must await further actions by carriers and the FCC, but increases are still expected to be substantial. The efforts of the library corrmunity and their supporters have had an effect on the FCC-ordered delays. In its recent decisions the FCC has repeatedly cited the effect on libraries, and on March 28 said concerns that private line increases may make telecorrmunications so unaffordable as to alter the primary business of libraries and other users "require this Corrmission to be diligent in reviewing the cost information sul::mitted in justifying any rate increases." Why Special Treatment for Libraries? Libraries are part of universal service - "the cornmon carriers of information," according to Sen. Pressler. Information needed for research, scholarship, innovation, education, and daily living is increasingly electronic. Libraries make access to such information universal, regardless of an individual's personal circumstances. Universal access to information in a derrocratic society is a social objective which can only be met through libraries.

Libraries have linked together via telecomnunications over the last 15 years, often \vith the stimulus of federal funds, to make their technical processes more efficient and to give patrons access to expanded information resources no matter where those resources may be physically located. Think of each library's in-house resources as one piece of a jigsaw puzzle -- the pieces can be put together only through affordable telecorntunications.

CONGRESSIONAL BUIX;ET AND IMPOUNDMENT CON'IROL ACT OF 1974

The Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act of 1974 (P.L. 93-344) requires Congress to put a ceiling on spending and a floor under revenues in each fiscal year. It forces Congress to establish priorities and relate total spending to total revenue, instead of handling revenues and spending measures separately as in the past. The chart on the previous page shows the four phases of the congres sional budget and appropriations process. The process fonnally begins when the President sul::mits the budget to Congress in January. Subsequently, the House and Senate budget corrrnittees hold hearings on the first budget resolution in early April. In their deliberations, they consider the President's budget, the Congressional Budget Office's analysis, views and estimates of other comnittees, and infomation from federal agencies, members of Congress, national organizations and the general public.

The result, the first budget resolution, sets tax and spending targets, and a surplus or deficit level. This is supposed to be approved by Congress by May 15 of each year. The agreed upon target levels are intended to guide Congress as it passes spending (authorizations and appropriations) and revenue (tax} legislation. As the beginning of the fiscal year on October 1 nears, the budget corrmittees assess current fiscal conditions and, in a second budget resolution, either affirm or re vise the target budget levels. Passage by Congress sets a firm budget ceiling. If revenue and spending measures already passed differ from the ceiling levels, the second budget resolution will direct the appropriate corrmittees to reconcile these differences by amending the earlier measures. New legislation which exceeds the lirnits in the second budget resolution is subject to a point of order. However, deadlines are not always met, and Congress may resort to passing a continuing resolution which allows spending for federal programs even if an appropriation has not been enacted.

GLOSSA..~ OF BUDGET TER."1S Appropriations corrrnittee: The House and Senate each have an Appropriations Corrmittee which reconmends to the Congress what will finally be the actual expenditure levels for federal programs. These corrrnittees are divided into subcorrmittees which consider funding for the various departments and agencies. Authorizing committee: Committees in the House and Senate, designated by issue or area of concern, recommend legislation to the Congress which approves a project, program or activity, outlining its purposes and procedures, assigning authority for its administration and, usually, fixing maximum amounts to be expended.

Budget corrmittee: Both the House and Senate have a permanent Budget Corrmittee which develops broad congressional spending priorities upon which the authorizing and appropriations corrrnittees are to base their actions.

Budget: The President sul::mits a proposed budget to Congress in mid-January covering all expenditures of the federal government for the fiscal year which begins the following October 1. The President' s budget is, however, nothing more or less than recormnendations. Congress determines the specific amount of appropria tions, which must then be approved by the President. - 3 -

Budget resolution: The official expression of general budget targets and ceilings agreed to jointly by the House and Senate at least twice a year. The first budget resolution is tentative, and intended to provide guidance to the ap propriations and authorizing corrrnittees; the second budget resolution is in tended to be final and binding.

Congressional Budget Office (COO): Established by the Congressional Budget and Irnpoundment Control Act of 1974, it manages the technical complexities of the budget and serves as staff for the House and Senate budget corrmittees.

Continuing resolution: When a fiscal year comes to an end before Congress has com pleted all of the appropriations bills, Congress then passes a joint resolution "continuing appropriations" to keep the government operating, usually at the existing level of furrling. Function: For working purposes, the congressional budget is divided into 19 functional categories. F.ducation shares 11Function 500" with labor and social services. Hearing: If a bill is of sufficient importance, or is controversial or complex, the conmittee to which it was referred may hold public hearings at which it will receive oral and written testimony from specialists, government officials, members of Congress and the public. oversight hearings assist each standing comnittee in Congress to exercise its "watchdog" role over administrative agencies and their programs within the comnittee' s jurisdiction.

Impoundment: Refers to the withholding of budget authority from obligation, through deferral or rescission. On the federal level, irnpoundment amounts to a refusal by the President to make use of money appropriated by the Congress. Office of Management and Budget (0MB): Part of the Executive Office of the President, 0MB develops the President's budget which is sutmitted to Congress. Reconciliation: If authorizing or appropriations comnittees have exceeded their fiscal targets in relation to either the first or second budget resolutions, the budget corrrnittee may instruct the co.rmittees to ma'l(e cuts by means of a reconciliation bill which then Congress should adopt by September 25. Rescission: Legislation enacted by Congress at the request of the President to cancel some previously granted part of an appropriation. These definitions are based on the National Advisory Council on Adult Education publication, Terms, Definitions, Organizations and Councils Associated with Adult Learning. -~ Federal Budget Process

NATIONAL LIBRARY WEEK April 8-14, 1984

National Library Week reminds us of our inalienable rights as free explorers in the unbounded universe of the human mind.

All the world's treasures of thought, imagination, scholarship, experience, and patient investigation are accessible to Americans in our libraries. The more these treasures are mined, the richer the store becomes. Each generation adds new knowl edge, and each reading gives new life to ancient wisdom.

I offer my warmest commendation to the American Library Association and to its members, the devoted librarians who guard this inexhaustible resource, for making us aware once again of the vast poten tial for learning our libraries have to offer and of the freedom Americans enjoy to search the limitless reaches of human thought. smff\RYCF

(PL 84-597, as amerrla:l by PL 88-269, 89-511, 90-154, 91-600, 93-29, 93-113, 93-380, 95-123 and 97-35, the Qnnil:us Budget Reconciliation Act of 1981).

Purpose: The purpose of I.SCA is to assist the states in extension and irnprovanent of public library services; improvement of library services for the physically hamicapped, the institutionaliza:l, disadvantaged, bilingual, and older persons; strengthening State library administrative agencies; construction of public li braries; praroting interlibrary cooperation anong all types of libraries; and strEID:Jthening major urban resource libraries.

Authorization: I.SCA needs reauthorization in 1984, although an autaratic one-year extension is provided un:ler Section 414 of the General Education Provisions Act as amended by PL 96-374. On January 31, 1984, by a vote of 357 to 39, the House overwhelmingly passed HR 2878, amending and extending I.SCA. The Senate plans to mark up its ISCA extension bill in mid-April.

General Provisions: For all titlesr a basic allotment is made to each state with any funds remaining distributed prooortionately to the states, each state's share based on its population in relation to the total U.S. population. A requiranent for 'l'itles I and II stipulates that the states and camunities rrust match the federal contribution on the basis of a ratio of the state's :oer capita incane to the average per capita incane of the U.S. 'lb participate in any I.SCA program, each state must have a state plan approved by the Secretary of F.ducation, plus a canprehensive 5-year plan on state priorities, procedures and activities for neeting the library and in formation needs of the people.

All library uSers and potential library users of the country's 15,000 public libraries benefit from the .improved, expanded and new programs resulting from ISCA support. The most recent evaluation study for the Department of Education estimated that 94 percent of all public libraries have received at least one direct benefit from I.SCA I.

TITLE I - SERVICES

In order to participate in Title I, each state, Puerto Rico and the District of Columbia must meet minimum qualifications for basic federal allotments of $200,000; American Sanna, Guam, the Virgin Islands, and the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands, each for at least $40,000. Maintenance of state and local effort is re quired.

Description of Program: Grants are awarda:l to assist the states to~ 1) Develop and improve public library service in geographical areas and to groups of persons with)ut such service or with inadequate service; 2) Provide library services for: a) patients and inmates of state-suPIX)rted institutions, b) physically handicapped, c) disadvantaged persons in low-inc::aoo areas, both urban and rural, d) persons of limited English-speaking ability; 3) Strengthen metropolitan public libraries which function as reqional or national resource centers; 4) Strengthen the capacity of the state library agency to meet the library and information needs of all the people; 5) SuP[Ort and expand "library services of ma.jor urban resource libraries which, because of the value of the collections of such libraries to individual users and to other libraries, need special assistance to furnish services at a level required to meet the demands made for such services." 'lb be eligible for such funds, a major urban resource library must provide services to users throughout a regional area with a population of 100,000 or rrore. - 2 -

Urban Libraries: When appropriations for I.SCA Title I exceed $60 million,., as they did in FY 1979, 1980, 1981,. and 1984, a portion of the additional am::,unt is ear- marked for libraries in cities of 100,000 population and more. · , .

TITLE N - OWER READERS SERVICES Description of Program: Grants are authorized to the states for the provision of library services for the elderly. · Enacted by the Older Americans Amendments of 1973 (PL 93-29), Title N 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. Administration's Lack of Support for Library Programs: This is the third year in a row the Administration has recorrmended elimination of I.SCA. Congress has continued the funding, increasing title I in FY '84 by 8. 3%. In FY ' 82 the Administration impounded for six months $19. 7 million in lSCA I and III funds, releasing them only after three adverse GAO rulings and a lawsuit in volving ten states. Because lSCA is not advance funded, such delays have irrmediate effects on the planning, staffing, and quality of library service throughout the country. Impact of Proposed Program Elimination: Title I - PUBLIC LIBRARY SERVICES: The elimination of lSCA was firmly rejected by Congress in FY '83 and '84; the House voted 357-39 January 31, 1984 to re authorize ISCA. Yet zero funding is being proposed again in FY 1985. The loss of all federal support for public library programs would trigger the elimination of the most far-reaching and innovative programs offered by public libraries. Although federal funding accounts for only about five percent of public library support, it is a critical five percent used to reach that part of the population without li brary services, or with very inadequate service, or for whom provision of library and infonnation services requires extra effort or special materials and equipment. In most states the impact would include: o Reduced staff and progra111s at all the State Library Agencies; constituent services to 15,000 public libraries would be greatly cut or eliminated, as well as support to regional and statewide library systems. o Reduction of library services to over 8 million persons in orphanages, mental health institutions, hospitals, prisons, and in programs for the blind and physically handicapped. South Carolina would lose two staff positions serving the blind and physically handicapped, funds for large-print books, in-WATS telephone service, and, cassette tape supplies. The Indiana State Library loaned 370,000 ite.111s to 15,000 blind and physically handicapped individuals last year. The service is 60% I.SC'\ funded. o Termination of library literacy programs: in New Jersey alone, LSCA-trained volunteers have taught reading skills to over 300 persons. o Termination of special library services: in New York, the operation of the Langston Hughes Corrrnunity Library and cultural Center is dependent on I.SCA funds and its future will be un certain without these funds. The popular and much-needed Job Information Centers providing job-hunting help will also be in jeopardy without federal aid. - 4 - o Tennination of rook purchase grants: termination or no growth in statewide film libraries. o The 171-public libraries designated Major Urban Resource Libraries, but already 'pressed· to meet the demands of their primary clientele, may cease service to those outside city limits, reduce hours of operation, or imr,.ose user fees, · in an attempt to make-up ,for lost funds. o Delivery services which would have' extended library services to the elder1 y and people in rural areas would · end. In New Hampshire, service to the northern part ·of the state would be totally eliminated. However, without I.SCA funds, training programs for staff, the books and films and even the telephone ·. service would end.· "Books-by-Mail" ·programs, also hit hard by postal subsidy ,cuts, wouid end·. ·

Title II - CONSTRUCTION: ·PL 98-8; the FY '1983 emergency jobs supplemental, provided $50 ·million .for ISCA II library construction projects in late FY '83 and '84. As of March 20, 1984, 499 ·construction projects had been approved, using $46.5 million in ISCA II funds watched by $93.7 million in local and state funds. About half the ISCA II dollars were used for new building projects, about one- quarter for additions and one-quarter for remodelings. · · · ·. Prior to PL 98..:.8, ISCA II was last funded in FY 1973. During the interim, 2,900 public library construction and renovation projects had accumulated requiring $2.3 billion in total funding. over $400 million is needed in FY 1985 alone. Despite the urgency of .jobs bill implementation, the targeting 'on high unemployment areas, and .. the lack of time to plan and to develop matching funds, twice as many projects were sul:mitted to state agencies as could be approved. Funds are particularly needed for energy conservation and handicapped accessibility. The Treasury Department has notified many libraries that to continue receiving revenue sharing payments, any structural changes needed to ensure accessibility for the handicapped must be completed by October 17, 1986. Title III - INTERLIBRARY COOPERATION~ The absence of federal support rejected the last two years but proposed again, would effectively eliminate cooperative li brary programs. In most states, a small number of regional resource-sharing organizations have been established. These organizations link the resources of all the libraries within a given area and provide a central clearinghouse for inter library loan and reference services. If a question cannot be answered at the local library or if the local library does not own a requested item, the regional library authority is called upon. These organizations vary in name -- in Indiana they are called AISA (Area Library Service Authorities); in Minnesota it is PIANET (Public Library Access Network); in Iowa it is ILITE. 'I'he purposes are the same; to provide the mechanism to bring information to all persons in the state by harnessing all the state's resources. In most cases, I.SCA title III funds provide the majority of funding for these organizations. Zeroing-out ISCA III will result in: o Limited effectiveness and mission for the regional library system operating in all 50 states and severely limiting the resources which encourage continued cooperative endeavors. .. -

- 5 -

o Termination of local, regional and state union list projects which collect information on all library holdings; these union lists are invaluable sources to researchers and students, and to library managers are essential to avoiding expensive dupli cation in purchasing. o Reduced effectiveness of statewide reference referral services as staff reductions result in diminished service; in New Jersey, for exa111ple, half of the requests for materials received by the state library would be refused.

o Sharing of library resources will become more difficult and expensive as states reduce staff and services. Many states use I.SCA funds to pay charges for library access to nationwide bibliographic databases. However, the cost of the private leased phone lines used for library data communications will go up an average of 73% in April 1984 under proposed private line tariffs. Removing I.SCA support as well would be a devastating double whammy for libraries. o Speaking of library automation projects, one librarian noted that state legislatures are reluctant to provide money to try things out, but an I.SCA demonstration project will often show how dollars can be saved. Libraries also find it difficult, legally and otherwise, to participate in the purchase of equipment not located on their premises. In Massachusetts, for example, I.SCA pays for the central site conputer hardware for regional library networks for sharing resources; local public and academic libraries pay for their own terminals.

Purpose: Grants to states for (1) providing librart services to disadvantaged per sons in both rural and. urban areas, (2) services to the institutionalized, (3) to the harrlicapped, (4) to persons of limited English-speaking ability, (5) to the aging, (6) strengthening state library administrative agencies to meet the needs of all the people, and (7) strengthening metro}X)litan public libraries that serve as national or regional resource centers. When appropriations exceed $60 million, a portion of the additional funds are eannarked for urban libraries. Appropriation FY 1984: $65,000,000 Budget Reconmendation FY 1985: $ -o RECCM1ENDATION FY 1985: $80,000,000

Impact of Proposed Program Elimination: The rrost recent evaluation of I.SCA I for the Education Department concluded that the program has ma.de significant contribu tions and continues to be needed; "any drastic reductions in the Program could be expected to have significant and long-term effects." Since I.SCA is not advance funded, the impact of zero-funding on the states v10uld be inmediate. The avail ability of I.SCA funds is a key reason that state and local governments have been able to develop, upgrade and maintain library services and facilities. In a free society, an informc-d public depends on libraries to provide information quickly and easily. The continuation of I.SCA is fundamental to the efficient and cost-effective uelivery of library services in this country and should be continued. If I.SCA I is ze.ro-funded, the states would lose the following sums based on the FY 1984 appro priation: What the States Would r.ose What the States would Lose State Based on $65,000,000 State Based on $65,000,000 AL $1,115,346 ?-IT' $ 385,638 AI< 297,139 NE 568,240 AZ 851,717 NV 397,547 AR 735,431 NH 418,796 CA 5,853,663 NJ 1,932,853 CO 894,916 NM 511,264 CT 932,277 ~TY 4,309,250 DE 339,403 NC 1,589,832 DC 347,810 ND 354,114 FL 2,569,392 OH 2,720,237 GA 1,499,465 OK 924,805 HI 428,603 OR 821,828 ID 423,699 PA 2,972,892 IL 2,872,250 PR 757,729 IN 1,480,784 RI 422,999 IA 880,438 SC 940,216 KS 756,913 SD 361,120 KY 1,055,802 'IN 1,279,735 IA 1,202,911 TX 3,638,152 ~lE 464,096 UT 553,996

INTERLIBRARY COOPERATION (LIBRARY SERVICES & CONSTRUCTION ACT TITLE III)

Purpose: Grants to states for planning r establishment and maintenance of cooperative networks of libraries at local, regional or interstate levels. These cooperative networks provide for "the systematic and effective coordination of the resources of school, public, academic, and special libraries and information centers for improved supplementary services for the special clientele served by each type of library or center."

Appropriation FY 1984: $15,000,000 Budget Recorrmendation FY 1985: $ -o RECCMJIENDATION FY 1985: $20,000,000 Impact of Proposed Program Elimination: Interlibrary cooperation of all kinds has been stimulated by I.SCA III. zeroing-out ISCA III will limit the effectiveness of the regional library systems operating in all 50 states and severely limit the re sources which encourage continued cooperative efforts. Sharing of library resources will become more difficult and expensive as state interlibrary loan centers reduce staff and no funds are provided for escalating postage costs. For example, in Indiana, the elimination of Title III would mean the crippling of programs in multi type library cooperation, the derailment of various statewide automation programs and the possible restriction of interlibrary loan access by the public to the col lections of major research libraries. If I.SCA III is zero-funded, the states would lose the following sums based on the FY 1984 appropriation: \il.7hat States Would Lose I h1hat States Wou ld Lose State Based on $15,000,000 State Based on $15,000,000 AL $ 256,553 MT $ 83,918 AK 62,981 NE 127,119 AZ 194,184 ~v 86,736 AR 166,673 NH 91,763 CA 1,377,549 NJ 449,960 co 204,404 NM 113,639 CT 213,243 NY 1,012,170 DE 72,980 l\'C 368,808 DC 74,969 ND 76,461 FL 600,553 OH 636,240 GA 347,428 OK 211,475 HI 94,083 OR 187,113 ID 92,923 PA 696,013 IL 672,203 PR 219,264 IN 343,009 RI 92,757 IA 200,979 SC 215,121 KS 171,755 SD 78,118 KY 242,466 'IN 295,445 IA 277,270 TX 853,401 ME 102,480 UT 123,749 MD 275,281 VT 68,450 MA 358,974 VA 339,694 MI 549,066 WA 273,126 MN 267,215 iw 147,503 MS 180,097 WI 301,853 I MO 312,901 WY 67,069 Contact: Eileen Cooke, American Library Association tvashington Office, 202/547-4440.

Description of Program: Part A, College Library Resources, Provides 'Resource De veloµoont grants of up to $10,000 to institutions of hiqher education, their branches in other carrnuni.ties, to cx:xnbina.tions of institutions, and to other public and pri vate nonprofit library institutions which provide library and infonnation services to institutions of higher education on a fonnal, cooperative basis. The grants may be used for books, periodicals, documents, magnetic tapes, phonograph records, audio visual materials, and other related library materials, any necessary binding, and for the establishment and maintenance of networks for sharing library resources with other institutions of higher education. Recipient institutions must maintain library materials experrlitures at a level not less than the average of the~ preceding fiscal years (except in very unusual cira.nnstances). This maintenance-of-effort re quiranent may be figured on either an aggregate or a per student basis.

Impact of Proposed Program Elimination: The Administration has recorcrnended el:inunation of II-A for the third year in a row. College library resource grants are unfurrled in FY 1984 pending develoµnent of criteria to target the grants to the neediest colleges. Developnent of need criteria is underway in connection with the HFA reauthorization process.

Many college libraries are indeed in need -- a recent analysis of tour-year college libraries concluded that well over half of these libraries fail to meet the minimal starrlards for adequacy of library resources. About 10 percent of recent applicants are failing to meet the II-A maintenance-of-effort requirerient, indi cating that institutional supJX>rt for campus libraries is dwindling.

In a recent sarrpling of college and snall university libraries, only 65 percent offered online bibliographic search services. II-A furrls can give additional students arrl faculty access to c:acp.1terized information databases as ·1:~ll as traditional print and audiovisual materials. Acadanic libraries applying for funds in FY 1984 totaled 2,160.

Grants ,~e awarded in FY 1983 to approximately 2,141 college and univP.rsity libraries, co:rmunity college libraries, and other eligible institutions serving a mininum of 4 mllion student users.

A major research library is defined as "a public or private nonprofit institution, including the library resources of an institution of higher Erlucation, an independent research library, or a state or other public library, having library collections which are available to qualified users and which (1) make a significant contribution to higher education and research; (2) are broadly based and are recognized as having national or international significance for scholarly research; (3) are of a unique nature, and contain material not widely available; and (4) are in substantial demand by researchers and scholars not connected with that institution." Institutions re ceiving a title II-C grant are not eligible for a II-A Resource Development Grant or a II-B Special Purpose Grant in the same year. "Broad and equitable geographic dis tribution" is to be sought in making awards. Impact of Proposed Program Eli.rnination: As with other federal library programs, the Admiru.stration has recomnended elimination of II-C for the third year in a row. Yet the National Comnission on Student Financial Assistance, in its report on graduate education, concluded late last year that given the "urgent need", the current $6 million is 11 pitifully inadequate." The Corranission summed up the situation~ Independent scholarship at the graduate level is impossible without first-rate, up-to-date library collections. Equally important, many of these collections are unique and irreplaceable •••

But like everything else, the cost of books and library services has been going up in recent years. Libraries are hard pressed to provide the public and scholars access to their collections and, in the face of an explosion of published knowledge, to maintain current collections.

For several reasons, libraries also find it difficult to take advantage of n0r-1 technologies for bibliographic and indexing improvements and for cooperative arrange ments to create nebAOrks of knaitledge. Some of the pressures with which university research collections must contend include the following:

o Although expenditures for library materials rose by 91 percent in the 1970sp enonnous cost increases forced a reduction of 20 percent in growth of new volumes.

(over) - 2 -

o Experrlitures for salaries am wages nore than doubled in the same period although staff size increased only 11 oercent.

o Far fran preserving these collections for future generations, we are permitting than to deteriorate on the shelves. Acids used in paper since about 1850 are literally destroying irreplaceable collections. A recent review am evaluation prepared for the Department of Education noted that II-C "has given the nation tens of thousarrls of unique titles acquired for scholarly investigation, thousarrls of fragile arrl irreplaceable volUIOOs TJreserved for long term use, arrl hurrlreds of thousarrls of bibliographic records linked through onlinedata files, in a fonuat which will enable irrlividual research scholars to locate items not held at the local research library"o

Only major research libraries are eligible to receive grant awards; in FY 1983r 49 institutions were selected to carry out grant furrled activities. In the first five years of the program, over three applications were received for every one that could be fuooed.

American Library Association Washington Office April 1984 EDUCATION CONSOLIDATION AND IMPROVEMEI\lT ACT OF 1981, CHAPTER 2 (PL 97-35, the Qnnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1981}

Purpose: To consolidate 28 programs, including school library resources, into a block grant to be used " ••• in accordance with the educational needs and priorities of State and local educational agencies as determined by such agencies." Further, Congress intends to " ••• financially assist State and local educational agencies to improve elementary and secondary education (including preschool education) for children attending both public and private schools, and to do so in a ITBnner de signed to greatly reduce the enormous administrative and paperwork burden •••• " Authorization: Title V of the Cmnibus Budget Reconciliation Act established the Education Consolidation' and Improvement Act (ECIA), of which Chapter 2 is a block grant authorizing "such sums" for FY 1985-87.

Funding~ The block grant, like the antecedent programs, is advance funded. That isp to allow for long-range planning, the funding level decided upon during the FY 1985 appropriations process will actually be made available for the 1985-86 school year. Authorization FY 1985: such sums Budget Reconmendation FY 1985: $728,879,000 Appropriation FY 1984: 479,420,000 NOTE: The former instructional materials and school library resources program, Elementary and Secondary Education Act, Title N-B, was last funded in FY 1981 at $161,000,000.

Allotments: One percent reserved for insular areas, 6 percent for the Secretary of Education's discretionary fund, the remainder to states on a school-age population basis except that no state -wuuld receive less than .5 percent of the remainder. From the state allotment, each state educational agency (SEA) must distribute 80 percent to local educational agencies (LEAs) on an enrollment basis with higher al locations to LEAs with greatest concentrations of high cost children, such as those from low-income families, economically depressed urban and rural areas, and from sparsely populated areas. Description of Program: The nature of federal assistance to elementary and secondary education changed significantly with the passage of the Education Con solidation and Improvement Act (ECIA), Chapter 2, a block grant for fiscal years 1982-87, combining over 28 programs including the school library resources program, the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA}, Title N-B. Althouqh the ECIA has two titles or chapters, the first part consists of one program, the former ESFA I, aid for disadvantaged children. Therefore, there is really one block grant -- the second part of ECIA, in which school library media centers compete with 27 other programs for funding.

Funds may be used for any or all of the previous purposes of the programs which were consolidated. Three subchapters of the Act contain authorized activities: A} Basic Skills Development 1) State leadership and support services, including planning, research and development, demonstrations, training, developrnent of ITBterials, in formation dissemination, technical assistance, and programs involving parents and volunteers.

2) School level programs, including diagnostic assessment, establishment of learning goals, training for teachers and support personnel, activities to involve parents, testing and evaluation. - - 2 -

B) Educational Improvement and Support Services 1) Acquisition and utilization of school library resources, textbooks, instructional equipment ar1d other materials for instructional purposes. 2) Improvement in local educational practices. 3) Addressing problems caused by concentrations of minority children. 4) Guidance, counseling, and testing. 5) Improved management of educational programs. 6) Teacher training and staff development. 7) Assistance for schools undergoing desegregation. C) Special Projects 1) Special projects, including metric education, arts in education, in school and preschool partnership programs, consumer education, employ ment preparation and work experience, education about the environment, health, the lawr and population; programs for youth offenders, and biomedical career education. 2) Coromunity schools. 3) Additional programs, including gifted and talented, educational pro ficiency standards, safe schools, ethnic heritage studies, and programs involving training and advisory services under title IV, Civil Rights Act. The Budget~ The outlook for the ECIA Chapter 2 school block grant in fiscal 1985 is murky. The $250 million increase in the Chapter 2 block grant which the Administration has recorrmended would be divided into an additional $14 million for the Secretary of Education's discretionary fund and an additional $235 million for the state block grant. The block grant is ED's main response to the report of the National Corrmission on Excellence in Education. A statement on the budget by Secretary T.H. Bell noted: These funds can be used by States and local school districts to address such needs as upgrading high school graduation requirements in the "five new basics", training teachers, developing experimental pay plans, and expand ing school days or years. In fact, the Chapter 2 Block Grant is the major Department program that can support State and local activities in any of the areas covered by the recorrrnendations of the Corrrnission on Excellence. Also, it provides State and local school officials with broad discretion over how to spend their funds so that they may design programs that are particularly responsive to their own needs and priorities. These remarks would seem to allow uses of the funds :beyond those in the previous categorical programs combined in the block grant. A recent survey by the American Association of School Administrators showed that of school districts responding to a sampling survey, 88 percent spent an average of $15,000 on title IV-B purposes in the 1982/83 school year. Fifty-six · percent of the responding districts spent some funds on books and materials. These high percentages are not surprising, considering that for many small and private schools, IV-B was the only federal program in which they participated. Nationwide, IV-B provided 20 to 30 percent of all funds spent on school library resources and instructional equipment. However, in October 1983 School Library Journal reported the grim statistic that material budgets for American school libraries provide for less than the price of one hard bound book per pupil. ~merican Library Association Washington Office April 1984
