Subject:      RE: How to spell fascism

----------------------------Original message----------------------------
     R. Anderson's posting re the spelling of "fascism," brings to mind
   memories of revising cataloging several years ago.  As I'm sure
   y'all are aware, the abbreviation "facsims" is used in cataloging
   to indicate that an item includes "facsimile" illustrative matter,
   i.e. reproductions simulating the physical appearance of the origi-
   nal illustration.
     Well, as you can probably see where I am going, it was amazing
   how many books we had in the library that included "fascisms" as
   part of their illustrative matter.
     (Oh well, I guess you really had to be there to get the full
   impact)

----------------------------Original message----------------------------
Well! Having read all the contracts involved, unlimited downloading of Disclosu
re is not a copyright issue on our CD. We also don't charge a fee for downloadi
ng of ANY CD-ROM that folks come into the library  to use (no dial-in access).
IF clients are interested insaving thier time rather than $, we can do a fee ba
sed search. The subject specialists do fee-based searches for University affili
ated clients, and our fee-for-service office does the "commercial/business" cli
ents' searches.  Also, our College of Business provides Lexis/Nexis and DowJone
s News Retrieval for the faculty & Grad students. Both services provide Disclos
ure. Until Disclosure perceives this as a problem and changes the contract, I'l
l  only get concerned over excessive time on the CD when other patrons are wait
ing.  We don't check IDs when people enter the library to use the materials, so
 by policy, the users affiliation is not of interest except in special cases, s
uch as ILL and fee-based services.

Copyright issues are a concern, but don't go looking for trouble. Vendors aren'
t limiting printing/user (although libraries are) how is it different when the
format is electronic-electronic rather than electronic-paper (or any other poss
ible combination)? Do you keep that close track of the copying of paper, MF, or
 CD versions of Moody's Manuals? (Copyright is an issue for fulltext articles,
& UMI does charge fees for the copying articles from the CD)

Let's not give lawyers any bright ideas for more work.

I suspect the original request for opinions on this was one patron tied up the
one cd station for a long time. Read your contract before you sign, then your o
nly concern will be local policies on time limits on the per use per patron. If
 you already signed, go back, read your contract. Follow any instructions on co
pyright.

----------------------------Original message----------------------------
The following note contains a summary of the answers to the questions I
asked recently about professional reference staffing.  As of the
time I began summarizing the results, 32 libraries had responded.

Total number of hours library is open ranged from a minimum of 65 hours
a week to a maximum of 102.

Professional staffing ranged from a minimum of 44 hours a
week to a max of 95 (!) a week.  (The main library at WVU has a
librarian at the desk 77 out of 98 service hours a week.)

Average length of weekday shifts at the reference desk was 2.6.

Average number of weekend days worked each semester is 3.8

Average number of hours at the reference desk each week for
individual librarians was 12.5.

Thanks to everyone who took the time to respond to my questions.

----------------------------Original message----------------------------
"The question was
not about preventing people from using information, but rather
about the role of the library in maintaining a LEVEL PLAYINGFIELD
for both producers and consumers of electronic information."

I don't see my role as having anything to do with maintaining a level
playingfield for publishers and readers.  I reluctantly restrict use
of some information if that is a condition of sale, but publishers
have to understand that policing users is against this profession's
code of ethics.  I'm really limited in my ability to ask someone about
what they are doing in the library and any undue attention on my part
is a violation of their right to open access to the library.

Regarding the dilemma of Leslie R. as to disposition of a run of Beilstein

From
Tony Stankus, Science Librarian, College of the Holy Cross, Worcester, MA

1. The justifications for disposal that our colleague may offer are
numerous: the work is not intended for a junior college audience;
the bulk of the material that it contains is available elsewhere
in an easier-to-use and often updated form; the shelf-space that it
uses up is likely to be better employed in more current material that
better matches the mission of the institution.

2. Disposal is also less complicated than might appear to be the case.
Post a few messages to e-mail lists announcing the availability of the
set (CHEM-INFO is the most pertinent. Give and address and cut off date.
Ask only for reimbursement of shipping expenses. If this does not work,
then dispose of the set. Beilstein does have a lingering value in a
relatively small number of graduate level programs in chemistry and in
certain industrial and pharmaceutical firms. But a truncated run of
its earliest years has at best historical interest.

 FROM:  LINDA SHACKLE
 SUBJECT: RE: Need Advice/Beilstein

 To Leslie R. who wanted advice on whether to discard their volumes of
 Beilsteins: my advice is go ahead and discard because as you said, a small
 rural junior college is not going to get much use out of this plus the data
 and the bibliographic citations in these volumes are now available online thru
 DIALOG and STN.

 However, there are a couple of things that you might want to consider before
 you toss:

 1. This is a portion of a VERY expensive set of chemical reference books; I
 suggest that you don't toss these in the waste basket. Although I don't have a
 current price catalog with me, I wouldn't be surprised if Springer Verlag was
 charging several hundred dollars apiece if someone wanted to purchase these
 volumes. The current volumes are costing approx $1,000 ($25,000-30,000/year)
 which is why most chemistry libraries have cancelled their subscriptions. If
 you can't find a buyer in these difficult economic times you may want to
 consider donating to the American Chemical Society's Clearinghouse.

 2. Because these volumes are so expensive and because its unusual for a work
 of its type/level to find its way into a junior college - I'd make sure that a
 VIP or former chemistry professor didn't donate these items to the library.
 And of course make sure that the current organic chem professor isn't using
 them or having his students use them. Whatever you do - don't rile the
 natives! :-)

998 bytes.  This is the 1000 byte limit of RFC821 - 2 bytes for the CR and LF.
If you use more than 80 columns you must follow the continuation conventions
or use NETDATA.   You can send NETDATA only to sites that advertise that
their mail accepts it (via the ND format definition in the :servers tag).
