SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT
,Abstract
Much more work needs to be done to involve a greater proportion of member librarians,
lay representatives, and Advisory Council members involved in the planning process
and the issues of cooperative library systems. Response during FY 1978 has been
favorable in that surveys have been returned at a high rate for not only the
budget preparation, but management information vital to the sucessful operation
of the South Texas Library System. Member librarians and lay people are becoming
more responsive to state -wide and region -wide information requests as noted in
their response to theILSA Advisory Board',s,,Rules and:Regulations changes and a
survey conducted by John Corbin involving the SWLA region.
Response to the committee structure has not been entirely successful, especially
with regard to the Continuing Education Committee which has never had a full
complement of members. Lack of time to give to system concerns and lack of
travel funds at the local level has impeded the work of these committees. It is
hoped that over time input will improve through these mechanisms.
At least three workshops will be held during FY 1979. Each will be held in a
minimum of two locations. Workshop topics will be drawn from the survey done
by the Continuing Education Committee during FY 1978.
On -site consultation will be provided at least once during the year to each member
library. In FY 1979, 27 of 44 member libraries will be in federated sub- systems
with professional, full -time coordination available to 16 libraries. once again,
the emphasis of consultation will be improvement of existing member libraries
rather than increasing membership in the South Texas Library System.

MEDIA PROGRAM
Abstract•
The media 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 1979, the system expects to circulate 16mm films at a rate of 1,000
showings per month or 12,000 showings per year. The viewing audience is estimated
to be 400,000 persons. The Media Librarian will provide assistance in film
programming for libraries interested in weekly or monthly consistant programs.
Printed materials will'be distributed explaining procedures and resources.
Resource people will be brought in to share their film knowledge through a workshop.
These films are useful materials stimulating group as well as individual parti-
cipation. 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 acti-
vities such as film forums, film study programs and possible efforts to promote
cultural and international understanding. It is hoped that through the use of
alternative media, librarians will awaken to the information which can be provided
through non -book formats. The media program should be considered as an important
communication medium and can be evaluated through patron response.

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. In FY 1978
the emphasis of the Public Relations Program shifted from publicizing system
services to publicizing the individual libraries and their services.
In FY 1979 the emphasis will again be changed to incorporate as much individualized
material as is economically feasible on general library services and system services.
A variety of formats will be used. This redirectigfi is based on the consensus of
members of the South Texas Library System as garnered from a survey completed at
the end of FY 1977.
The Public Relations Committee will work with the Public Relations Specialist and
draw up a program for FY 1979 which will best meet the needs of the South Texas
Library System and its members. A film catalog and an annual report will definitely
be part of the program.

REFERENCE BACK- UP-SERVICE
Abstract
The Reference Back -up Service was created to solve several interrelated problems;
the need for information by the working community, which is often unaware of the
library's resources; the need for information by a large non - English oriented
population for whom traditional printed materials are often irrelevant; and the
limitations 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 MRC collection and telephone calls. The centralization
of this function in the System Office means that prohibitively price reference
services, and non - traditional resources can now be provided to all the citizens of
South Texas. Also that the most common areas of deficiency and /or need in refer-
ence 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
question's to underlying deficiencies in reference service; the training function
of RBS will take the form of formal and informal technical assistance, 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
systee, even on a limited basis.
Reference Back -Up Service will recieve 2,000 questions from member libraries -
during FY 1979 and will attempt to answer at least 90% 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
satistified 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.
Program Title:_ Reference Back -Up Service

COLLECTION DEVELOPMENT
Abstract
This program will enable the member libraries of the South Texas Library System
to purchase approximately 3,500 books at greater discount through .the System
Office. In addition to each library which has a budgeted amount for books
receiving an allotment against which to purchase,'local monies may be channelled
through the vendor enabling local libraries to 'receive the benefit of higher
discounts and no freight charges.
The matching formula which was formerly in the Rules and Regulations for the
Fourth Biennium will be used to allocate accounts and provide incentives for
local materials budget increases. With a set amount of $34,540 allotted for
book purchases, each libraries' individual account will be percentage matched
down from the full amount if maximum funding was available.

` INTERLIBRARY LOAN
Abstract
Through the Interlibrary Loan Department of the La Retama Public Library the
resources of all major libraries in Texas and Louisiana, and many libraries in
the United States are made available to the residents of the 26 counties of the
South Texas Library System. La Retama Public Library, as one of the ten Major
Resource Centers in the Texas State Library Caomunications Network, has several
vital functions: to receive requests for books, periodical articles and other
materials, to fill these requests from its collection, or to refer them quickly
to other libraries in the Network or to out -of -state libraries. This program
provides services beyond local capabilities to libraries of the South Texas
Library System and residents of Corpus Christi.
Non- system libraries in the South Texas Library System area are handled at the
Major Resource Center level only and not forwarded on the Network, according
to system member and Advisory Council vote in December, 1975.
Location devices, telecommunication equipment, and even computer access have
speeded up the search process for the increasing number of requests rec6ived,
as the statistics demonstrate. As of December 1, 1977, requests from Corpus
Christi residents have increased almost 100% over the previous fiscal year and
other library requests averaged an almost 14% increase.
