(Paula Pope) i _ UK LIBRARY SYSTEM The following is the first part of a special 9-part series drawn from Mary Ruth Brown's article in The Encyclopedia of Library and Information Science. l . i, 3 History of the Libraries: Growth and Development = The founding date of the library is usually cited as 1909, when the term "university library" was first used and when the first building dedicated exclusively to library purposes opened its · . door. As a system, the library would perforce begin with the . Agricultural Experiment Station Library, which officially existed as early as 1885. However, it was not until 196M that this library finally became an adminstrative unit of the system. . . The university's library, with a collection of 3,000 volumes and A staffed by the president's secretary, was open for student use only in the afternoon during its first year. The following year V it was open all day, although no bibliographic control of the collection was provided until 1912 and not until 1913 were students allowed to borrow books without making a deposit. The years 1912-19lM were momentous for the newly created library. In addition to gaining a bibliographic control of its own — j collection, it _was given responsibility for all campus . "libraries" with `the exception of Law and the Agricultural Experiment Station. Centralized processing of all` new books added to these collections began during this period, as did the _ first lending and borrowing of library materials through interlibrary loan. The current .policy of service to citizens of the state and support `of extension work was officially declared a function of the library in 1916. The librarian's annual report for that same _ year listed major needs as more book funds, increased space for collections and patrons, and additional trained staff. In 19U6 a Division of Archives was established at the university ·as a joint effort on the part of the University Library and the _Bureau of Source Materials in Higher Education. Several years later this division became a section of the Special Collections Department. The library's Microfilm Center was established in 1955 as the result of ar sizable grant and with the express purpose of microfilming Kentucky newspapers and making the film available to publishers and other Kentucky libraries on a nonprofit basis. ‘ The library's oral history program, begun in 1973, was designed · to develop primary source materials which would increase the usefulness of its modern political manuscript collection. This program soon expanded to provide primary source materials, both “ oral and audiovisual, supplementing other collections, especially Kentuckiana. The latest project, again the result of a grant, is to initiate processing of the library's photographic collection. » 3 l The growth of the collection in size, scope, and usefulness has _ been slow, but steady since its beginning. The quality of its . collection, particularly in the area of Kentuckiana, owes much to the efforts of library-oriented faculty during the 1930s and l9HOs. Local newspapers frequently carried articles by professors recommending that old books and records be donated to . U the University of Kentucky Library. The fiscal year of 197U-1975 saw the `creation of a Resource Utilization Section devoted to . developing an effective application of library resources and, utilization of library personnel in meeting informational needs of the academic community. By fall 1975 this section had evolved into the present Collection Development Department. In _ 196M the Agriculture Library was organized using the _Agricultura1 Experiment Station collection as its nucleus. That same year the Agriculture Library and the Law Library became units of the system. Since that date the Medical Library and its branch ‘in the College of Pharmacy have also become loose1y‘ , connected with the King Library and its branches to form the present library system. “ The University of Kentucky Library System currently has a collection éof more than 1.7 million volumes and_ receives more I than_25,000 periodical and serial titles. Total microform units held by the system exceed 1.8 million. The number of professional staff grew from one in 1909 to 66_in 1979, while nonprofessional ,assistants increased from none to 123. Annual i reports of the librarians have shown that the scope and number of _ services provided have increased along with the growth of the collection and the addition of professional expertise.
