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.

PLANNING COMMITTEE MEETING KINGSVILLE March 6, 1981 MINUTES Members present: James Stewart, Chairman,Victoria Others present: Dolores Timmerman , Portland Alicia Salinas , Alice Guadalupe Mier, Hidalgo County Ruben Rendon , San.Benito Frances Isbell , Weslaco Gerard Mittelstaedt, McAllen Mrs. James Dinn , Corpus Christi Col. Charles Nelson, Laredo Mrs. Phyllis Burson, MRC Director Mary Thames Bundy, STLS Coordinator Nancy Hackney, San Patricio County Coordinatc STLS staff: Kay Jackson Betty SachniF Donah F.lusche 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 Planning Meeting 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, some mention.'in-Currents of questions•asked or information sought on a competitive basis-, - . might be helpful. rlanning meeting-._ Marsh 6, 198t.- T Gerard Mittelstaedt moved that should additional funding become available? an additional professional, with an additional travel budget, be hired. for consulting and that the professional have at least two. years experience, Col, Nelson -seconded, -MOTION CARRIED, Statistics for Mail -A -Book were reported and ways to utilize this service in,an extension or outreach program were discussed. Chairman James. Stewart- said he would like to briefly discuss Interlibrary Loan even though. 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 for- consideration as a uniform state policy." The motion was seconded. MOTION CARRIED. The-chairman_=requested that STLS staffdraft and mail a letter from the Planning Committee unamimously endorsing the Interlibrary Loan program at Corpus Christi. The McNaughton. Book Leasing. Plan was discussed as well as an automated booking system for films. James Stewart moved that in the event of additional funding that $20,000 be set aside for a study of one -or more projects leading to an automated system. The motion was_seconded by Col. Nelson. MOTION CARRIED Mrs. Burson -suggested that all new -suggestions be put into a package by the system staff and circulated -for consideration if more funding was allowed. The meeting -was adjourned -at 6:45 p.m. Dawe of your library SOUTH TEXAS LIBRARY SYSTEM - Summary SOUTH TEXAS LIBRARY SYSTEM 1982 PROGRAM SURVEY Some STLS programs such as administration, on site consultation, continuing education and service to areas without organized libraries are mandated by the Rules and Regulations of the Texas Library Systems Act.
