SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT
Abstract il
The System Development Program during FY '76 and approximately
the first half of FY '77 has been predominately concerned with increasing
system membership. The remainder of FY '77 and FY 178 will be more con-
cerned with internal aspects -- development of system members and consensus
planning. Many librarians and Advisory Council members are asking for
a planning process which allows for a fuller actualization of needs.
Though surveys have been conducted each year since FY 175 to establish
programs, it was done only once a year and aimed at only one year
ahead.
1
Standing committees have been established in the areas of media,
continuing education and planning. These will meet on a regular basis
and will hopefully include not only librarians, but Advisory Council
and Lay Representative members. More frequent business meetings will
be held.
At least one workshop will be held which is not in connection
with reference or media. Emphasis will be placed on the more sophis-
ticated library with possible topics being staff development and inter -
type library cooperation.
On -site consultation will be provided at least once during the
year to each member library. Additional small group meetings of.the
four county system coordinators could increase communication on all
levels. In FY 178, 25 of 42 member libraries will be in federated
sub - systems with professional, full -time coordination available to
16 libraries. Neither the regional system coordinator nor the four
county coordinators have line authority control of individual libraries
or librarians. This gives this group common concerns, goals and
rewards. Mutual interest should provide a foundation for a forum
to the concept of systems.

FILM COLLECTION
Abstract
The film collection program focuses on user as well as non-
user needs. It gives member libraries the opportunity to borrow
short as well as long length films which can motivate, entertain,
educate and inform their patrons.
During FY 1978, the system expects to circulate 16mm films
at a rate of 750 showings per month or 9,600 showings per year.
The viewing audience is estimated to be 216,000 persons. The
Media Librarian will provide assistance in film programing for'
libraries interested in weekly or monthly consistant programs.
Printed materials will be distributed explaining procedures and
resources. Resource people will he brought in to share their
film knowledge through a workshop.
These films are useful materials stimulating group as well
as individual participation. The collection intends to attract _
community partaking in library functions, constituting support.
One expected outcome of the collection is to attempt to attract
a wider range of citizenry to the local library in hopes of
increasing local use and support of the individual library.
In the statistical record-keeping process comments on particular
films are provided by film users. Often these comments are channeled
on to producers. It is believed that a greater use of these films will
certainly lead to production of better films in the long run. For
example, in one library situation, a government agency borrowed a drug
film depicting a Chicano addict; the characterization definitely was
not Chicano. The agency identified the discrepancies and informed
this film company of this matter.
The film collection will establish other new and significant
library based activities such as film forums, film study programs
and possible efforts to promote cultural and international under-
standings.
The film program should be considered as an important communication
medium and can be evaluated through patron response.

REFERENCE BACK -UP SERVICE
Abstract
The Reference Back -Up Service was created to solve several interrelated problems;
the need for information by the business /professional community, which is often unaware
of the library's resources; the need for information by a large non - English - speaking
population for whom traditional printed materials are often irrelevant; and the limita-
tions in most system libraries' reference capabilities which prevent their meeting the
above needs and improving the public library's image. Reference Back -Up Service,
by acting as a "last resort" for librarians at the local level, can provide patrons
with information which would otherwise be unavailable. This is done through use of
the NRC collection, telephone calls, and research agencies. The centralization
of this function in the System Office means that prohibitively priced reference ser-
vices, and non - traditional resources can how be provided to all the citizens of
South Texas. Also that the most common areas of deficiency and /or need in reference
service can be perceived and dealt with in a coordinated fashion.
Thus, the service aspect of Reference Back -Up Service, the answering of
reference questions which cannot be answered at the local level, is not just an
end in itself. A continual effort will be made to extrapolate from the form and
subject of questions to underlying deficiencies in reference service; the training
function of RBS will take the form of formal and informal technical assistance,
at least one workshop, and a coordinated collection development program. Related
to this goal of improving member libraries' reference capabilities is the additional
goal of gradually encouraging members to share their own resources and knowledge
with the whole system, even on a limited basis.
Reference Back -Up Service will receive 1,500 questions from member libraries
during FY 1978 and will attempt to answer at least 85% of them satisfactorily.
Statistics will be kept on numbers of questions received and answered 'as well as
on turn- around time. An ideal 15 hours' turn- around time will be maintained as
a general goal, although the importance of quickness as opposed to quality of
answers will have to be judged in each case individually. Final quantitative
evaluation will be made in terms of unit cost per question and unit cost per
satisfied question. Qualitative evaluation will depend on feedback from members
on both the service and training functions of RBS, as well as evaluation of
answers by the Reference Back -Up Librarian.

BOOKS -BY -MAIL
Abstract
Rural citizens of South Texas are as far as 100 miles away from
a public library and 150+ miles from a system member library. Most
of the remaining areas without library service do not have a suffi-
cient tax base to establish or continue to adequately support library
service.
The initial success of this program has been gratifying.
Given that South Texas has the lowest literacy and educational
attainment levels in the state, it is remarkable that circulation
has outstripped some of the more established books -by -mail pro-
grams in other Texas regional systems.
Because of the increased cost of providing Spanish materials,
and because a federated system in the Valley had attempted a
Spanish and English books -by -mail program without notable success,
Spanish materials will not be provided. A common misconception
among librarians is that people who speak Spanish, read Spanish.
This is rarely the case. More and more it is the upper class
Mexicano immigrant from the Mexican interior who is literate in
Spanish. This person will usually live in a larger community with
established library service so that Spanish language materials from the
South Texas Library System Books -by -Mail program will not reach
him.
The program will continue to operate at current levels
including the mailing of an initial 10,000 catalogs, 2,500
supplements three times during the year and a circulation of
1,000 per month. The target audience is approximately 10,886
rural resident box holders.

COLLECTION DEVELOPMENT
Abstract
This program will enable the member libraries of the South Texas
Library System to purchase 7,000 books at greater discount through
the System Office. The matching formula which was formerly in the
Rules & Regulations will be used to allocate accounts and provide
incentives for local materials budget increases. With a set amount
of $70,000 allotted for book purchases, each libraries' individual
account will be percentage matched down from the full amount if miximum
funding was available.
Program Description
According to Texas Public Library Statistics 1975, the South Texas
Library System ranks seventh among the ten systems in the number of volumes
owned per capita. The ratio is 1.55 compared to a high of 2.10 in the
Abilene area and a low of 1.19 in the San Antonio area. Although the amount
of funding allocated to this program will only allow for an additional 7,000
books in the system, it will provide a token incentive to libraries' governing
bodies to upgrade their own local book budgets.
This program ranked fourth among our members. Alternatives to collection
development would be either not including it which would be contrary to the
members desire or to have only programmatic materials purchased. In actuality,
two surveys were done on services for FY 178. The first survey was not com-
pleted but it did include material purchases based around relevant subject
areas such as ABE and Spanish - language materials. This type of purchase did
not fare well in this survey. Though valid conclusions can not be drawn by
comparing an incomplete survey and a different but completed survey, it can
be inferred that collection development aimed at predetermined subject areas
is not a priority.
A clerk will be hired to handle the program with supervision by the
Reference Back -Up Librarian. The clerk will be hired on the interim contract
so that routines can be established before the actual book purchase
money becomes available in the LSCA FY '78 contract.
According to a policy adopted by the Advisory Council, only those
libraries which have book budgets will be eligible for the program. In-
dividual libraries within federated library systems will have direct ac-
counts. Each library will have•an amount to draw against based on the
matching formula which was formerly in the Rules & Regulations prior to
the adoption by the Texas Library and Historical Commission.
The need does exist to make available the entire material resources of
the system. A collection development program which enables member libraries
to order materials paid for with local funds through the same source at the
system discount, and also create machine readable records which can eventually
be merged to form a union list -of holdings would be of benefit far beyond any
actual financial committment to building general collections with system
funds. Interest in a union file to facilitate resource sharing among
members is growing among member libraries. It is hoped that just such a
program can be implemented. Such an approach is fully in keeping with
the total system concept so long as the actual funding made available for
book purchase does not outstrip or undermine local commitment to providing
adequate materials.

PUBLIC RELATIONS
Abstract
In FY 1976 and in FY 1977 the main thrust of the Public Relations
Program was to produce promotional materials using both print and electronic
media. By the end of FY 1977 the system will have promotional materials
covering each of the system services.
In FY 178 the emphasis of the Public Relations Program will shift
from publicizing system services to publicizing the individual libraries.
Many of the member libraries do not have or cannot afford to have profes-
sionally produced promotional materials.
The Public Relations Specialist will work with each library individually
to create a brochure or bookmark publicizing their library. if all the
member libraries concur on having a poster produced, the poster will be
individualized with each library's name but the copy and design will
be repeated on all of the posters.
In addition to the above, an annual report and a film catalog
will be produced. Continued efforts to inform and motivate the public
and the business /professional community regarding library services
will be made through the Public Relations Program. System promotional
materials and PSA's will be used in conjunction with the local publicity
efforts.
