for 1982. At least two topics will be offered in more than one lovation.
The -System Coordinator provides documentation to the Texas State Library
including the Annual Program•of Service, Long-range Plan and Annual Report.
_Monthly statistical luports of activities are compiled and submitted to the
_Texas State Library.
South Texas Library System anticipates one new mamber-in 1982 -- Port Aransas.
An additional component to the System Development Program in 1982 is a book

REFERENCE BACK-UP
Abstract
The Reference Back -Up Program began because of the following needs of system
member libraries: the need for very current information (frequently unpublished
or just published); the need for obscure information only available in special
collections or from individuals; and the need for the library to promote itself
as an effective institution for delivering a variety and complexity of informa-
tion that will satisfy a wide range of public demand.
in -FY 1982 Reference Back -Up will continue its major focus of answering
patron requests which cannot be answered locally. Searches are conducted in
many ways. Staff uses traditional library materials of the Major Resource Center,
written and telephone queries to other institutions, agencies and individuals, •
the -New York Times Information Bank, and Lockheed's data base retrieval system.
The Reference,Back-Up Librarian will continue to develop training sessions and
materials for paraprofessional staff who work on the reference desk.
The Reference Back -Up Librarian is available on request to assist members in
evaluating local reference collections.

MAlL A -BOOK
Abstract
Some rural residents of South Texas are as far as 100 miles from a public
library. Several counties have no public library at all. Most of these
areas are so sparsely populated and with such a poor tax base, that organized
library service is not feasible. The books by mail program helps to fill these
needs.
In FY 82 a large print supplement will be added to the commercial al catalog
so public libraries can conduct an outreach program for elderly and poorly
sightPd persons who are unable to come to the library.

The- meating. was_ held in the annex at the Robert J. Kleberg Public Library. Before beginning
the meeting the -movie "Groupthink' was viewed.
Chairman James Stewart called_the meeting to order at 11:00 a.m. stating that in lieu of a
prepared agenda the meeting would begin with a discussion of Collection Development. He
asked that .each regional chairman express what had been suggested at their regional meeting,
and after an exchange of ideas,that_the group seek a consensus and put together a formula
for the FY'82 budget.
Mr. Stewart -briefly reviewed -the position of the legislative budget board and suggested
ways to -approach the legislature for support. Col. Nelson suggested that possibly the
Advisory Council could form a legislative committee. The chairman instructed the group
that even though a dollar figure was not available at that date the committee could, with
the input from regional meetings, form a collection development formula, and with regard
to the other programs provide guidance and direction to the staff. Mr. Stewart expressed
appreciation of the -committee's diligence in adhering to the time table and of the work
done so far.
Guadalupe Mier from Hidalgo County, Region II began the regional reports by saying that
one of his region's main concerns was that in the past the formula had not established an
incentive. They felt.an.overriding rule should be established that would not allow any
library to receive more collection development -money from STLS than they had in their
local materials budget. They were also in favor of an allocation for fast fill.
Alicia Salinas, Alice, reported that Region IV also felt that Collection Development was
a basic responsibility and that member libraries should not depend only on System funds
for this program. They also favored an "off the top" allocation for fast fill.
Ruben Rendon, San Benito, reported similar results for Region I however, they did feel
that all member libraries should receive ample warning that they must have a local materials
-budget. Maybe this warning should be in 1982 and be in effect for the 1983 budget. They
also felt any money "off the top" for the MRC should be stipulated for fast fill.
Dolores Timmerman, Portland, reported that Region III also supported specifying the "off
the top" allotment to the.MRCas money for fast fill. They also wanted a basic automatic
allotment to -member libraries and the balance alloted on a sliding scale according to
local materials budgets, population and attendance at workshops.
Planning Meeting
Mre-'6, 1981 •
e
James Stewart reported that Region $ also was concerned about establishing incentive in
the collection development formula. The formula that their meeting had adopted was one
that had been discussed at the previous planning committee meeting. That formula divided
the total amount into thirds; an even distribution, one on the basis of population and
one on the basis of an increase in local support. At this point the chairman asked
Col. Charles Nelson from Laredo for additional input on the philosophy of Collection
Development.
Mrs. Burson commented on Collection Development from the standpoint of the MRC. She
also reported on the close-out of last years grant and on the improved ILL fill rate.
Col. Nelson then suggested that the following elements be considered by the committee:
1. Should there be an allotment"off top"for the MRC.
2. Should there or -should not there be an equal distribution to the
member libraries.
3. Should or should not there be a distribution based on population either
direct or inverse._
4. _Should there -be a provision for incentive.
5. Should there be some emphasis on member's local materials budgets so
that STLS funds would not exceed local support.
There was some discussion on whether all sources were reported in the materials budget
on the Annual Report to TSL.
Guadalupe Mier made a motion that an allotment to the member libraries will not exceed
their local materials budget; The motion was seconded by Alicia Salinas. MOTION CARRIED.
Dolores Timmerman moved that__an amount separate and not suhject to the formula be given
to the MRC.. Gerard Mittelstaedt seconded. MOTION CARRIED.
After further discussion on an "off the top" allotment for the MRC, Ruben Rendon moved
and Gerard Mittelstaedt seconded, that the MRC receive 8% " stipulated for fast fill."
Before the vote_was taken James Stewart asked Thames Bundy to explain briefly the new
allowances for -depreciation and occupied space that MRCs will be receiving in the new
budget. After this discussion the vote was taken on the above motion. MOTION CARRIED.
Next the suggestion of an "automatic" allotment was discussed and Dolores Timmerman
'moved and Ruben Rendon seconded that an equal allotment of 60% of the remainder be
distributed to member libraries. After a lengthly discussion, Col. Nelson moved to
amend the motion to read that the formula include an equal distribution to all member
libraries. .Mrs. Burson seconded the amendment. After more discussion, the group agreed
that at this point it would be best not to assign percentages until an outline for the
formula had been established. The amended motion read that a percentage would be distributed
among all member libraries. MOTION CARRIED.
Discussion was then held on whether this allotment would be on a per capita basis and
whether this allotment would be awarded regardless of. local materials budgets. Mr Mier
remarked that_disregarding- the local materials budgets would make an exception to a
motion that had already carried. Action to make this exception failed.
Mr. Mier then moved that there be no allocation based on population. The motion was
seconded by Ruben Rendon. MOTION CARRIED.
To open the discussion.on incentive the -chairman asked Thames Bundy to read the rules

N 6, 1981
and regualations on incentive. Dolores Timmerman led the discussion with Col. Nelson on
suggestions from their regions for the percentage of increase. Gerard Mittelstaedt moved
that the:formula created by Region II be adopted. Mrs. Burson suggested that the terms,
per capita or dollar increase, whichever is more favorable be added. Mr. Mittelstaedt
accepted the addition, Mrs. Burson then seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED.
Dolores Timmerman brought the meeting's attention to the problems of small libraries in
trying to attend workshops. Everyone agreed to the value gained by attendance. Mrs.
Burson then moved that an allotment be given for attendance at three separate workshops, '
one being sponsored by STLS. Dolores Timmerman seconded. MOTION CARRIED.
Gerard Mittelstaedt moved to amend the workshop allotment so that the "not to exceed
the local materials budget" rule will not apply to the workshop allotment.,' MOTION CARRIED_
Ruben Rendon moved that money left from the workshop allotment be pooled with the equal
share allotment; money left from -that allotment be pooled with the incentive allotment
and then any money left from the incentive allotment be assigned to fast fill. Fran Isbell
seconded. MOTION CARRIED.
Col. Nelson asked for more discussion on specifically how the division would be made.
He said dividing bythose qualifying would be considerably different than dividing by
the number of member libraries... Col Nelson then moved that the number of member libraries
be used as a divisor in all. allocations. Fran Isbell seconded. MOTION CARRIED_
Chairman James Stewart then _said, he would entertain a motion regarding the percentages to
assign to the allotments. Mr. Mier said that he would like to make a motion to assign
the following percentages to theremainingallotments, after the first 8% for the MRC
fast -fill project:
1. 15% of that remainder be applied to attendance at workshops.
2. 50% of that remainder, with the addition of the balance left from the
workshop allotment, be applied to the equal distribution.
3. 35% of the remainder, with the addition of the balance from the equal-
. distribution, be applied to the incentive (percentage of increase in
materials budget).
4. Any remaining_balance from the incentive portion be assigned to fast fill.
The only exception to the "not to exceed local materials budget" rule will
be -the first percentage alloted'to workshop attendance.
Ruben Rendon seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED. .
The chairman commented that he felt the committee had made a great stride in encouraging
p41-. increase in local materials budgets.
The group then discussed the 1982 Program Survey and the program ranking requirement_`
There was a brief exchange. of ideas for new programs from each of the regional chairmen.
Thames Bundy said that she would like to receive some direct in the event of an increase
in funding. Col. Nelson led the discussion with the many ways a professional consultant
would be helpful to small libraries. Video cassettes and their different formats were
discussed as well as more public relations in the form of awards or certificates given
to newspapers, and. groups who had supported the library through the media.. Everyone was •
encouraged.to emphasize that questions -and input were necessary.. It was suggested that,

it was under -separate contract. He moved that. the Region V concerning ILL be quoted
directly as -his -motion: "During discussion of the ILL program it was noted that policy -
of the Corpus Christi ILL staff- has always been to accept all requests regardless of vera---
fication. Itwas-mentioned that this may not be the policy elsewhere and in fact it was
the unamimaus feeling of all concerned that the policy should be continued in this
system as is-and_xhat this policy should be brought to the attention of the state library
