Renewal of Contract for Bibliographic and Library Processing Services

(19) By board action in June 1976, approval was granted to purchase certain terminal equipment and enter into an operating service contract for the University's libraries with the Secretary of State (Office of the State Librarian). This action enabled the University libraries to acquire through the state librarian an automated system developed by the Ohio College Library Center to provide a more efficient means of assisting in bibliographic search and cataloging processes at all campuses and to improve the service to the interlibrary loan program as well.1 Estimated expenditures for FY 1979 associated with the renewal of the program are $221,000. Funds sufficient to procure the system services and maintenance are provided for in the FY 1979 budgets of the three campus libraries. T h e vice president for administration, with the concurrence of appropriate administrative officers, has recommended that the comptroller and the secretary of the board be authorized to execute a renewal agreement for the Illinois/OCLC contract for FY 1979 with the Office of the Secretary of State (State Librarian). I concur. T h e s t u d e n t a d v i s o r y v o t e w a s : A y e , Miss K o o p e r , M r . S o b o t k a , Watson; no, none. O n m o t i o n of M r .

Agreement with Lincoln Trails Library System for Interlibrary Loan Services, Urbana

(20) The chancellor at the Urbana-Champaign campus has recommended that the University execute a contract with the Lincoln Trails Library System' to provide interlibrary loan services to the patrons of the University Library at Urbana-Champaign. Such services will provide increased efficiency in borrowing frcm other institutions those library materials not available within the University of Illinois libraries. In addition to providing more and faster service to patrons of the University Library, the agreement proposed will free current reference department personnel for other much-needed professional activities such as searching and assisting with reference questions. The annual cost of this agreement is estimated to be $11,500 in FY 1979. Funds are available in the operating budget of the Urbana-Champaign University Library. The vice president for administration concurs. I recommend approval.

1 By use of the system requests for reference data or for catalog file cards for new publications are entered into a local terminal and passed to the center via dedicated telephone lines. Reference data is returned by the same method while catalog cards are produced automatically at the center and sent by mail to requesting library. 2 The Lincoln Trails Library System is a unit established under the state's Library Systems Act to serve the eastern centra] portion of Illinois.
