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. ` "m: South Texas�Library System - Month: , gram Title: System Development Please incZude your ZocaZZy determined objectives for FY 1978 on this form.

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. k "m: South Texas Library System* Month: k—gram Title: Film Collection Please include your locally determined objectives for FY 1978 on this form.

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.

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.

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.

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. =?
