FROM THE EDITOR'S DESK
As you can see from the calendar, the week of September 20-
‘ 27, 1986 is Banned Books Week. Its purpose is to bring the
attention of the general public to the dangers of censorship and
` the importance of the freedom to read. In light of recent
events, such as the banning of William Faulkner's, As I Lay
Dying, in a Kentucky School System, we are reminded—that
censorship is alive and well in the 1980s.
  I;
HELP FIGHT ILLITERACY AT UK I

others. All tutors will be fully trained by Operation Read
instructors, free of charge. For more info call Human Resources ~

LS/2000 TERMINAL TIPS
If your terminal seems "frozen" or "locked up," check the
following:
**DO NOT turn off the NIU power unless you have been instructed
to do so. Under normal conditions, the NIU box should stay
on at all times. The NIU is the Network Interface Unit that
» controls communication with UK's new communications network,
the Ungermann Bass Network.
**Are all the connections tight—fitting? Check the keyboard
connections, cables to barcode_ readers and cables from the
computer to the NIU.
**Is your barcode reader turned on? Even if it is not in use,
_ the barcode reader should be on.
· **The  or  key should be down.
If these conditions are all met and you still have no
response, try this sequence:

~ To Paul Willis,
` If it weren't for Patty Powel1's many services to me during
my several research projects, the off-campus MSW program would
have been so much more burdensome. She has saved me hours of
valuable library time and given excellent references and
material. I genuinely feel this to be the biggest help I've had I
in this program and appreciate it more than I can say. i
I've thanked Patty personally but feel her extra efforts on W
behalf of off—campus students should be called to the attention l
of her supervisors, too. I feel the program is complimented by
this personal effort.

Dear Bill Marshall:
I just wanted to drop you a line to tell you how much I ,
» appreciated all the help you gave me last week when I was
researching Randall Lee Gibson. Your entire establishment was
perfect. Of all the places I have been doing research (and that
is all over the South at one time or another), you have the most
convenient facilities and the most helpful staff of all. I
thoroughly enjoyed doing research there and look forward to
returning. There are still some papers there that I feel we must
go through before we finish our research on Gibson.
I have written to Mrs. Pettit and asked her to keep me in
mind if she located the letters she has at her apartment
pertaining to the Gibson family. I encouraged her to give them
to you so that they will be properly cared for. If you don't
hear from her I wish you would call and encourage her to go
through her things while she is still able.
Again, I want to thank you for making my work in Lexington so
pleasant. Give my regards to Ms. McCann——she was especially
patient and helpful.
Sincerely,
Ann McLaurin, Ph.D.

M.I. KING LEBRARY SYSTEM . . . MEET;Q§Q_UNITS
MEET THE EXTENSION LIBRARIAN (by Patty Powell)
The M.I. King library and University Extension joined forces
in 1979 in order to provide off~campus students and faculty with
ready access to the same library services available to those on
campus. As a result a librarian was employed half—time to serve
the off-campus program. This became a full—time position in
_ August of 1982, and duties now include service to many
evening/weekend students, and independent study students, too.
The Extension Librarian serves U.E. (University Extension
undergraduates, graduate students (in the College of Social Work,
Mining Engineering, Education, and Library and Information
Science) and teaching faculty in many places, including Ashland,
Frankfort, Fort Knox, Highland Heights, London, Murray, -

 sgi
Owensboro, Paduoah Princeton, Prestonsburg, Springfield, the
Bluegrass Army Depot, and downtown Lexington (in the "Downtown-
1 at—Noon" program.) `
The Extension Librarian and 2 students workers provide such
t services as assisting faculty in locating and ordering
. audiovisual aids and textbooks, delivering library reserve
materials to class sites, providing reference/research assistance
to students (including computerized literature searching sending
library materials to student's home or office, etc.)
In FY l985—86 the Extension Librarian answered 182 reference
questions for U,E., performed 122 computerized literature
searches, sent 2,634 books, documents, audiovisuals or
photocopied artioles, ordered 107 textbooks for off—campus
classrooms, and provided 30 instructional sessions.
MEET KENCLIP (by Janet (;Il1lSiTl£il`l)
If you_have ever awakened in the night to nagging thoughts of
"who is Ken Clip? I they I know all the men in the Reference
Department and there isnit a Ken»“ I can put your mind to rest,
KENCLIP is a "what" not a “who" and yours truly, Janet Chisman,
is the KENCLlE Librarian The KENCLIP (KENtucky Cooperative
Library Information Project) is a program of the Kentucky
Department for Libraries and Archives that began in 1973 as a
means to provide interlibrary loan and reference service to
Kentucky‘s oounty/public libraries. Yearly grants are awarded to
four university libraries (EKU, WKU, U of L, and UK) which serve
as resource libraries to the public libraries and house a KENCLIP
Office. I have been the KENCLIP Librarian at UK since Oct. 1983,
when I joined KDLA.
MEET INTERLlhQARX LOAN (by Roxanne Jones)
Today,”no libraries can be self~sufficient in meeting the
information needs of their patrons, Many schemes have evolved to
facilitate resource sharing, thereby expanding the information
pool available to any given library. Interlibrary loan is one of
these resource sharing methods.
Interlibraiy Loan has two aotivities —~ borrowing and
lending. On the borrowing side we attempt to borrow or obtain
copies of library materials not found in our local collection on
behalf of our faculty, staff, and graduate students engaged in
scholarly or researchi on the lending side, we lend or provide
copies of our library materials at the request of other
libraries. The Interlibrary Loan Department has expanded the
resources available to our patrons_from local resources to state,
national and e `..r an international souroes. We in turn have
provided our resources a·i1 to patrons outside our immediate area.
There are three full time staff members in the interlibrary
loan unite someone Jones is the head of the unit, Jennifer Geran
oversees the boi owing activities and Carolyn Blondell oversees
the lending aotiwltiest ILL also has an average of 40 hours/week
of student help; In isha/86, this unit handled 21,455 borrowing
and lending reo~ests. The University of Kentucky is a net lender
(i.e. we loop more {nan we borrow.), we handled 5,948 requests
from our patrons ami ;ei;.ei=·ec1 lE:,§>O‘7 requests from other V

 . I
-7-
libraries. These figures apply to King Library and nine Branch
Libraries. The Law, Agriculture and Medical Center Libraries
. have individual interlibrary loan units.
‘ ILL is a very busy unit which sometimes seems more chaotic
than controlled. However, there is usually a method to our
madness and if anyone is interested in a more indepth look at
interlibrary loans, we are always glad to explain our policies
and procedures, and demonstrate the OCLC ILL subsystem and micro
enhancer.
