• Budget Allocations Including New Programs


Each area of the curriculum has its own materials budget allocation. Allocations are made by the
Librarians Council, which consists of all faculty librarians and the Library Director, and
are based on curricular relevance, program size and research needs, publishing costs within
specific disciplines, balance of collection, and general overall collection needs.   Faculty and
staff planning new courses and new programs are encouraged to contact the Liaison Librarian for
their discipline.   The amount of the Library capital budget reserved for book allocations may
fluctuate depending on periodicals and continuations costs.

Types and Formats of Materials Collected

Reference Materials

Reference materials support the research needs of College students, faculty, and staff. The
reference collection contains, but is not limited to, encyclopedias, dictionaries, atlases,
directories, indexes, bibliographies, statistical compilations, and handbooks. Though items
selected for this collection primarily support the academic programs offered at Lane, core
academic reference works published in other subject areas are also selected when they provide
fundamental bibliographic access to, or an introductory overview of, an academic discipline.
Items in the reference collection normally do not circulate. The reference collection is reviewed

18 | A B U S Y A H M I A D I B N D / I L M 0 6 / 2 0 1 0
LIBRARY MANAGEMENT: BUDGET

by the librarians annually to insure currency and accuracy. Reference materials are collected in
print, electronic, and online formats.

Books

Books that should be frequently updated (test preparation materials) are purchased in
paper formats when available.

Established literary works and new works receiving critical acclaim in the literary field are
considered, especially those works that support literature course offerings. Literary prizewinners
are purchased when funds permit.

Serials

Serials/periodicals/journals/newspapers are publications issued in successive parts bearing


numeric or chronological designations and intended to be continued indefinitely. Serials are
issued in print, microform, and electronic formats. All formats will be considered in the libraries'
purchase and/or access decisions. Serials are acquired via subscription. Individual issues or
reprints will rarely be purchased.

The selection of serials requires a continuing commitment to the cost of the title, including
maintenance, viewing and reproduction equipment, and storage space. The escalating cost of
serials subscriptions demands that requests for serials subscriptions be carefully reviewed before
they are purchased for the collection and that an ongoing evaluation of current subscriptions be
conducted.

Since it is often more cost-efficient to purchase electronic access or document delivery services
for serials instead of acquisition through print subscription, this delivery method will be chosen
when fiscally prudent. Cooperative acquisition (regional and statewide) of electronic serials
databases is actively pursued. Electronic serials subscriptions licensing contracts may limit
access to currently enrolled students, faculty and staff. The professional library staff reviews
local serials collections and accessibility of online titles annually.

The serials collection supports the College curriculum as well as providing a core collection of
general interest periodicals. Factors to be considered in the acquisition of serials are:

 Support of academic programs


 Suitability for intended audience
 Uniqueness of subject coverage
 Cost, including rate of price increases, cost of storage, and/or access costs
 Professional reputation
 Usage or projected usage

19 | A B U S Y A H M I A D I B N D / I L M 0 6 / 2 0 1 0
LIBRARY MANAGEMENT: BUDGET

 Indexing and abstracting in sources accessible to library users


 Demand for title in interlibrary loan or document delivery requests
 Accessibility within resource sharing groups, consortia, and/or through document
delivery or courier services
 Full-text availability via electronic access

Electronic Books

Electronic books are considered when they provide the most current and/or cost-effective format,
or to support distance education courses and programs. Cooperative lease/purchase of electronic
books is pursued as a cost-effective method of providing access to book collections. Duplication
is considered for electronic books provided by such cooperative lease/purchase. In addition to
general selection criteria and online resources/Internet-based materials selection criteria,
consideration is given to the availability of an archival copy of electronic texts purchased in
perpetuity.

Non-Print (Audiovisual Media)


Non-print media may be relatively expensive. Because of the size of the Library’s materials
budget, inclusion of these materials in the Library’s collection should meet the following
guidelines in addition to general selection criteria:

 Item has demonstrated applicability in more than one course or discipline


 Treatment and presentation of subject content are on an appropriate academic level
 Technical quality of color, sound, continuity, etc. is high

Maps

Maps are a very small part of the collection. Additional maps will be purchased as needed to
provide direct support for classroom instruction and only at the request of the instructor. Atlases
are included in the reference collection.

Subscription Databases

Subscription to commercial online databases will be considered when they provide the most
current and/or cost-effective resources. The following online resources will be actively selected:

 Licensed commercial, fee-based resources and databases will be selected when they
provide cost-effective means of providing resources for the Library. These resources may
include electronic books; citation, abstracting and full-text databases covering journals,
magazines, newspapers or reference materials; and databases providing information
portals for specific subject areas.
 In additional to general selection criteria, the following criteria will be used:
o The product compares favorably with similar products
o Unlimited or multiple user access is preferred
o The interface is user-friendly

20 | A B U S Y A H M I A D I B N D / I L M 0 6 / 2 0 1 0
LIBRARY MANAGEMENT: BUDGET

o Appropriate online help is available


o Good technical support is available
o Usage statistics are available
o The vendor allows a trial of the actual product
o The libraries are not required to subscribe to both print and electronic versions of
the product, unless this is desired
o The license agreement allows normal rights and privileges accorded libraries
under copyright law
o The license agreement gives the libraries indemnification against third party
copyright infringement

BOOK STOCK

The aim of the Library is to provide a stock that will both support and challenge the students,
allowing them to develop an ability to extract the relevant information from a variety of sources.
This ability is vital as they face the transition from being school students, more directed in their
learning, to university students taking responsibility for their own learning.

• Periodicals

A range of daily and weekly newspapers is designed to provide a range of views. Subscriptions
to journals and magazines are taken out at the request of departments. General interest magazines
are provided according to Library staff’s perception of students’ interests and the balance of the
collection.

• Web sites
Web sites offer a slightly different set of circumstances. Appropriate web sites can be
bookmarked and made available to students in a variety of ways.

 placed in the Library section of the student intranet


 publicized on Library leaflets
 catalogued on the Library OPAC alongside other resources
 promoted on Library notice boards
 Recommendations by teaching staff
 Selections by Library staff, based on their professional expertise
 Recommendations by students (after being checked by Library staff)

• Benchmarks for Book Stock

Reference books:-

 Encyclopedias - at least two paper-based sets at different levels, less than 10 years old
 Atlases – the collection should include road atlases, world atlases and data atlases, none
more than 8 years old and at least one as recent as possible. Older atlases can be kept for
historical interest but should not be shelved with the current stock.
 Yearbooks and gazetteers – they should be regularly updated, with yearbooks replaced at
least every two years as funds allow.
 Dictionaries – this collection should include schools, concise, shorter and multi-volume
dictionaries in English, specialist dictionaries, e.g. of slang, abbreviations etc, and dual-
language dictionaries in all languages taught in the Academy and as far as possible all
mother languages spoken by students.

Non-fiction books:-
We will aim to develop a book stock, 80% of which was published less than 10 years ago. This
will allow for 20% for older books which are either out of print or are of particular significance.

22 | A B U S Y A H M I A D I B N D / I L M 0 6 / 2 0 1 0

Fiction books:-

All fiction books should be in editions no more than 20 years old unless they are in good
condition and their appearance is not a disincentive to their use.

• Withdrawals
To this end we will implement a programme of stock weeding as follows:

Non-fiction

 Stock will be weeded in a rolling programme through the Library Of congress (LOC)
sequence according to the Book Development Action Plan
 All damaged stock will be removed, repaired if possible or discarded
 All very shabby stock will be removed and replaced, if necessary, by a new copy
 All stock unused for at least 5 years will be withdrawn unless there is a compelling case for
its retention
 All stock published more than 10 years ago will be examined. Computer, science and
technology books will be replaced by a newer edition unless subject matter is not affected by
the age of the book. Arts and humanities books published earlier than this may remain if they
are still deemed relevant
Fiction

 Stock will be weeded once a year


 All damaged stock will be removed, repaired if possible or discarded
 All very shabby stock will be removed and replaced, if necessary by a new copy
 All stock published more than 20 years ago will be examined. If the book is still relevant to
the fiction collection, staff will consider whether a newer edition with cleaner pages and a
contemporary cover would be appropriate, unless they are in good condition with classic
covers

All books removed during weeding will be

 deleted from catalogue giving one of these reasons – damaged; out of date; not relevant;
unused
 treated as instructed in Withdrawal Procedures in Procedures Manual
 offered to charity shops, Book Aid or staff members ONLY IF they are in good condition
and the information is up to date but just not relevant to present LRC needs
 thrown away (this applies to almost ALL of weeded stock)
 sold to students in very limited circumstances

• Stock Take
Every four years there will be a complete stock check of all books. This will take place over the
summer break, using the facilities of the Library Management System and possibly using a hired
portable bar code reader. The database will be updated. Statistics of the number and value of
books lost will be recorded.

• Periodicals
Newspapers are kept for 2 weeks and then discarded. Subject journals and magazines back issues
are kept for one year for weekly editions and two years for monthly or termly editions. Back
issues can be passed to departments. The decision on whether to renew subscriptions will be
taken by assessing usage and consulting with departments.

• Audio-visual
Audio-visual material will be weeded using the same criteria as those for books.

• Web sites
All bookmarked and recommended web sites will need to be checked for availability and
continued relevance through the Website Maintenance Procedure.

Displays and Library guides and leaflets will be reviewed annually and links checked during this
review.

8. High precision guillotine machines preserve margins and ensure clean edges on bindings.

9. First the block is rounded to form a convex shape in the binding edge and a corresponding
concave format the front edge. This gives the binding a natural shape and achieves an effect
similar to a bridge span where stress forces are evenly distributed stopping excessive pulling at
the ends.
 
10. Spine Lining is applied to the spine of each of bound book to strengthen the text block.

11. Next a joint (sometimes called 'a ridge' or 'a shoulder') is shaped on each side of the
binding edge. This joint allows a hinge in the cover, meaning that the book can be opened with
less strain on the binding as the pages are now securely held in the cover. This type of binding
joint means that the pages do not fall forward or sag due to their weight, thickness or type of
paper. A book not bound in this traditional way stands a higher risk of failure -
inconveniencing readers by being out of use.

INTER-LIBRARYLOAN AND
DOCUMENT DELIVERY
Interlibrary loan (abbreviated ILL, and sometimes called interloan, document delivery, or
document supply etc.) is a service whereby a user of one library can borrow books or receive
photocopies of documents that are owned by another library.

The user makes a request with their local library, which, acting as an intermediary, identifies
owners of the desired item, places the request, receives the item, makes it available to the user,
and arranges for its return. Although books and journal articles are the most frequently requested
items, some libraries will lend audio recordings, video recordings, maps, sheet music, and
microforms of all kinds. In many cases, nominal fees accompany interlibrary loan services. The
term document delivery may also be used for a related service, namely the supply of journal
articles and other copies on a personalized basis, whether these come from other libraries or
direct from publishers. The end user is usually responsible for any fees, such as costs for postage
or photocopying. Commercial document delivery services will borrow on behalf of any customer
willing to pay their rates.

• How interlibrary loan works


Interlibrary loan, or resource sharing, has two operations: borrowing and lending.

 A borrowing library sends an owning library a request to borrow, photocopy, or scan


materials needed by their patron.
 The owning library fills the request by sending materials to the borrowing library or
supplies a reason why it cannot fill the request.
 If the item is sent, the borrowing library notifies the patron when the item arrives.

PRESERVATION MATERIALS

Preservation is a branch of library and information science concerned with maintaining or


restoring access to artifacts, documents and records through the study, diagnosis, treatment and
prevention of decay and damage.

It should be distinguished from conservation which refers to the treatment and repair of


individual items to slow decay or restore them to a usable state. Conservation is occasionally
used interchangeably with preservation, particularly outside the professional literature.

Although preservation as a formal profession in libraries and archives dates from the twentieth

century, its philosophy and practice has roots in many earlier traditions. In library science,
preservation is treated as an active and intentional process, as opposed to the passive sense of
preservation that might be applied to paleontological or archaeological finds. The survival of
these items is a matter of chance, from an information science perspective, while the preservation
of them after their discovery is a matter of intentional activity.

Addressing collection preservation as part of library building design helps to protect the

collection against catastrophic loss and to reduce library expenses by extending the collection’s

service life. The purpose of collection preservation is to manage risk to an acceptable level,

while acknowledging that avoiding risk altogether is impossible.

The collection is the library’s single largest asset; designing the building that houses it to

maximize protection against major losses, including earthquake, fire, water damage, and theft, is

responsible management of public resources. Designing an indoor environment (including

33 | A B U S Y A H M I A D I B N D / I L M 0 6 / 2 0 1 0
LIBRARY MANAGEMENT: BUDGET

temperature, humidity, air quality, and light levels) conducive to preservation extends the

collection’s service life by slowing down its rate of physical deterioration. Books and documents

intended to be kept in the collection permanently will not need to be replaced as often, saving the

library money.

Preservation costs money to save money; it requires an initial investment in building features and

systems to increase protection and reduce deterioration. The library’s return on its investment

comes as cost avoidance in the years that follow: fewer losses and longer service life. To

minimize upfront costs, actions to protect the collection and actions to optimize the collection

environment should be addressed separately.

Some collections have to last forever; many libraries have “special” and “local history”

collections they want to last centuries, if possible. These collections largely are irreplaceable and

therefore need additional features from the building design to maximize their service lives.

However, most collection materials in most publicly funded libraries are not added to the

collection with the expectation that they will continue to be part of the collection indefinitely.

Opportunities to minimize preservation-related construction and operating costs accrue from

distinguishing between the needs of general and special collections. If the two types of

collections can be segregated for storage and use, the higher cost solutions needed for special

collections can be addressed without incurring the cost of applying the same solutions to the

general collections. For example, irreplaceable special collection materials might be stored in a

very secure part of the building where there are no emergency exits from the building decreasing

the risk of theft, and without water lines or other utilities, decreasing the risk of water damage.

Special collection materials could be used in reading areas where sight lines from service desks

are unobstructed, providing a sense of vigilance and security for the collection. The relatively

34 | A B U S Y A H M I A D I B N D / I L M 0 6 / 2 0 1 0
LIBRARY MANAGEMENT: BUDGET

challenging environmental conditions needed for storage of special collections might be met

more readily and less expensively by locating special collections away from exterior walls and

windows where environmental control is more difficult and more costly.

• Best Practices

Below is a Current best practices to preserve our library collection in the new proposed of

library building by using this technology.

i. Minimize exposure to arson which are accountable for nearly a third of all library

fires; use compartmentation to limit the spread of fire;

ii. Employ fire detection AND water-based fire suppression systems for collection

protection.

1) Minimize exposure to arson

Exterior doors in library buildings (public, staff, and emergency egress doors) need to be well

attended and controlled, and they usually are. Windows, however, too often are left unattended

during library open hours, and left unlocked or open when the library is closed, providing an

arsonist with an opportunity to start a fire by tossing into the building burning rags, wadded up

paper, or even (on record) Molotov cocktails. Windows that do not open eliminate this risk, or

the risk can be reduced by the use of screening to cover windows that can be opened.

A second major exposure to arson comes from book returns that penetrate the exterior wall into

library space. A book return built into the wall of a library gives an arsonist easy access to the

interior, and often is provided with a convenient fuel source in the form of other books that

previously have been deposited in the book return. Much damage has been done by book return

35 | A B U S Y A H M I A D I B N D / I L M 0 6 / 2 0 1 0
LIBRARY MANAGEMENT: BUDGET

fires, including damage from smoke that spreads throughout the building. Best practice is to use

stand alone book return bins located outside and away from the perimeter of the building.

2) Use compartmentation to limit the spread of fire

In any book stack, the risk of major damage to or loss of the entire collection is reduced by

introducing “compartmentation,” i.e., subdividing the book stack by constructing fire-resistant

walls, ceilings, and floors to limit the spread of fire, smoke, and to some extent, water.

Compartmentation is a highly successful method of reducing risk if barriers are designed and

installed properly. Fire ratings must be appropriate for book stacks, and there can be no breaks or

interruptions to the barriers. Points often overlooked in the use of compartmentation are

Fire-Rated Doors on Automatic Closers

Fire-Rated Seals at Material Joints

2-Hour Fire-Rated Walls

Figure 2: Figure 1. Special Collection Area separated through

continuation of the walls above drop ceilings to the floor above, installation of automatic

36 | A B U S Y A H M I A D I B N D / I L M 0 6 / 2 0 1 0
LIBRARY MANAGEMENT: BUDGET

doors; all are measures designed to help isolate compartments from one another to prevent the

spread of fire, smoke, and water. Vertical openings between floors for services, stairwells, and

elevators need to be sealed if each floor is to become a separate compartment and barrier to the

spread of fire.

Special collection storage areas often are especially suitable for compartmentation; the collection

usually is housed in closed stacks (not accessible directly by library patrons) and often has

additional security and environmental requirements that dovetail well with the use of

compartmentation for fire protection.

3) Employ fire detection AND water-based fire suppression systems

Fire detection systems include those based on heat sensors, smoke sensors, and products of

combustion sensors. Fire detection systems can detect fires prior to triggering the suppression

system and, consequently, can buy an extremely valuable few minutes for fire department

response. Among fire detection equipment options, products of combustion sensors can detect

fires sooner than heat or smoke detectors, so have been recommended when water damage from

the suppression system is to be avoided if at all possible.

Fire Suppression Systems

Most fire suppression systems in libraries are water-based sprinkler systems, but non-aqueous

gas, expansion foam, and chemical powder suppression systems also are available. Non-aqueous

fire suppression systems based on the use of carbon dioxide are not used in libraries because

people can be suffocated by the system when it discharges. Non-aqueous systems based on use

37 | A B U S Y A H M I A D I B N D / I L M 0 6 / 2 0 1 0
LIBRARY MANAGEMENT: BUDGET

of fluorocarbons have been outlawed due to the damage the fluorocarbon discharge can do to the

environment.

Water-based fire suppression systems utilize a range of delivery technologies from “wet pipe” to

“dry pipe” to high pressure “water mist” systems. Wet pipe systems keep the sprinkler pipes

filled with water at all times and use temperature-triggered sprinkler heads that open the

sprinkler valves at a predetermined temperature (140-155F). The wet pipe system has proven to

be very reliable in many library installations for three reasons: it works when needed, it is

unlikely to discharge when not needed (short of someone accidentally breaking off a sprinkler

head), and it requires the least maintenance of all types of fire suppression systems. Part of the

success of the wet pipe system is due to its simple technology and relatively low maintenance

requirements; staff knowledge of suppression systems often is limited, and maintenance

schedules are notorious for being deferred to higher priority needs.

38 | A B U S Y A H M I A D I B N D / I L M 0 6 / 2 0 1 0
LIBRARY MANAGEMENT: BUDGET

"On/off" sprinkler heads, once a popular technology designed to limit the amount of water
discharged by automatically turning on and off the flow of water, no longer are available from
domestic manufacturers following failures and recalls of some designs in the late 1990s.
“Water mist” systems are similar to wet pipe systems in design except that they deliver water

under high pressure to specially designed nozzles, creating a fog of fine water droplets that

quickly lowers the temperature below that needed to support combustion. The water mist system

is designed to use the least water and cause the least water damage, but has not yet been widely

deployed for the protection of library collections, so little is known about its long-term

performance. However, the monetary and historical value of some special collections may

justify investigation of the latest developments in this fire suppression technology.

“Dry pipe” systems are filled with air rather than water until the fire detection system senses a

fire, at which point the pipes fill with water. Alternately, a sprinkler head is tripped and opened,

which releases the air from the pipes. The pipes fill with water, and water is discharged from the

sprinkler head(s) that opened. Dry pipe systems suffer some disadvantages from the preservation

perspective: they are slower to respond to a need for suppression than wet pipe systems, and they

require more attention to maintenance. In the absence of the required maintenance, they are more

likely to fail.

Fire Protection and Cellulose Nitrate Film

Cellulose nitrate film decomposes over time, becoming less stable and more combustible, a

process exacerbated by elevated temperatures and storage in concentration. Early motion picture

films were made of cellulose nitrate and most commonly have been stored in rolls in film cans.

39 | A B U S Y A H M I A D I B N D / I L M 0 6 / 2 0 1 0
LIBRARY MANAGEMENT: BUDGET

Many special collections have significant holdings of early cellulose nitrate sheet film (as

distinct from motion picture film), much of it in protective paper sleeves or interfiled with related

paper documents and in quite serviceable condition.

Water Protection

With the exception of the use of water to extinguish fire, water damage to collections is a

consequence of a failure of a building system to work as intended. The roof, the windows, the

plumbing, the heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning (HVAC) system, and rarely, the fire

sprinkler system, cause water damage because they have failed. In addition to using well

designed and constructed systems, there are two building-related approaches to optimize water

protection for the collections: system avoidance and vigilance.

System Avoidance

System avoidance entails eliminating any systems from collection storage areas unneeded to

meet the operational requirements for collection storage. While the primary concern usually is

water damage, systems that could create a fire also should be reviewed for elimination.

Unnecessary windows, restrooms, utility sinks and other utility plumbing, and roof drains that

pass through the building should be eliminated from areas designed primarily to store

collections. If areas are multi-use, including collection storage, compromises will need to be

made to accommodate the multiple functions, but at increased risk to the collections.

Vigilance

40 | A B U S Y A H M I A D I B N D / I L M 0 6 / 2 0 1 0
LIBRARY MANAGEMENT: BUDGET

Vigilance in the form of routine inspection and maintenance is an effective form of water

protection. Routine inspection of gutters for clogging leaves, roofs for cracks, the support

structure below for telltale water stains, joints on plumbing for evidence of corrosion and slow

leaks, and interior drains for sluggish performance are among the often deferred facility services.

An alternative solution to some routine inspection is installation of automatic monitoring systems

that detect water; equipment is available to monitor for roof leaks, water buildup on floors, and

wet walls, with options for either local alarms or automated notification to 24/7 monitoring

services. A search on the World Wide Web for “water detection” will yield a range of equipment

designed for this purpose.

Placing the HVAC equipment on the roof over the collection area is undesirable for two

reasons. Vibration from the equipment can cause fractures to the roof’s surface, leading to

leakage, and the equipment itself can provide water an entry point through the roof to the

interior below. Further, the discharge of water from the system has been known to back up

until it overflowed into the building. For both reasons, siting the HVAC equipment

alongside the building is better than any roof location, and failing that option for aesthetic or

space reasons, siting it away from collection areas is recommended.

From my estimation this technology cost B$ 25 Million to be install in new purposed library

building when it finish built then.

LIBRARY SECURITY SYSTEM


Theft and Vandalism Protection

Managing access to and egress from the storage and reading areas is essential for provision of

good service and protection of collections. Unobstructed sight lines for staff observation of user

behavior are a good deterrent to theft and vandalism, as well as beneficial for staff and patron

safety. The design and layout of service desks need to consider points of entry and exit from the

library. Key or card access to special collections areas needs to be different from that to the

general collections areas to ensure that only authorized staff has access to the facilities and

collections.

Budget for installing library security is including the budget of developing the VILIS project.

Challenges for the Future

In October 2009, College appointed the Scholarly Information Program Task Force with a charge
to articulate a structure of vision and goals for post-Partnership resource development, thus
beginning a new cycle of strategic planning. Among the challenges to be confronted at this time
are:-

 Continued price inflation and the ongoing need to encourage change in the economics of
scholarly publishing
 A new budget crisis compounded from the State's inability to fully fund the library
components of the Partnership Agreement, as recounted above, and the significant shortfall
in State revenues, beginning in 2002-03, that will seriously affect the University's budgetary
prospects over the next few years.
 The emerging need to review the role(s) of the campus library, including the use and
management of physical facilities and collections, in the light of changing demands and the
evolving capabilities of shared collections and services, and reassess the roles and
relationships among the elements of shared infrastructure (including, for example, the CDL
and the RLFs) and the campus libraries.
 Opportunities and expectations for leveraging online assets for educational/instructional and
public advantage
