Fringe benefits: $12,195 x 27.2% = $3317.04 T 52 wks. =$63.78/wk. -:- 37.5 hrs./wk. = $1.70/hr.

Total cost per hour to library: $6.25 + $1.70 = $7,95/hr.

b. Cost per freshman under this system:

Total cost = 24 hrs. (4 hrs./wk. x 6 wks.) x $7.95/hr. =$190.80 T 780 (total freshmen) = $.244 = $.24 perfreshman student.

[NB: Tour described above was not used this year, figures arefor comparison purposes only.]

IV. Cost Analy (Real Cost of Slide/Tape System)

Real cost makes following alterations in cost reporting:1. Cost of professional time is reduced from 35 hours to

15 hours. This is done because the actual time to pro-duce the presentation used this summer can be accom-plished in 15 on-duty hours. The other 20 hours wasused for non-recurring duties related to an audiovisualprogram but not directly related to the preparation ofthe program used this summer.

2. Slides prepared for the summer program will be re-usedfor four additional programs over the coming three years,Cost of slides for this program should be computed atthe rate of 20% of total cost, $10.00.

a. Projected real cost of future slide/tape programs:

Professional time (preparation): 15 hrs. x $6.19/hr. =$92.85.

Student time: 24.E hrs. x $1.75/hr. = $42.87.

Equipment: 12 days x $.28/day = $3.36.

Slides: $10.00 (existing slides) + $10.00 (additionalslides) = $20.00

Total $159.08

b. Real cost per freshman viewer:$159.08 (real total cost) -:- 780 (freshmen) = $.203 =$.20 per freshman viewer.

V. Cost Analysis (Ccmparison of slide/tape with guided tour)

Net sayings to Libraries in real cost: $.04.

SECTION TWO NARRATIVE REPORT

-9-

BACKGROUND

During the interview of Roger C. Palmer by the SearchCommittee, of the Lockwood Reference Department in the summerof 1972, Marianne Goldstein (Reference Librarian, LML) askeda series of questions of the candidate concerning his philoso-phy and competence in the use of audiovisual processes forlibrary instruction. Subsequent conversations between thecandidate and Mary B. Cassata (Assistant Director for PublicServices) indicated a willingness and ability. on the part ofthe candidate to develop audiovisual instruction programs forthe libraries.

In September 1972 Mr. Palmer joined the staff of LockwoodReference and was asked to begin work on a program that couldbe used with groups requiring a tour of Lockwood. By October4, 1972 Mr. Palmer had recommended a slide/tape method of pre-sentation. Letters were sent on that date to directors offaculty libraries, heads of unit libraries, and heads of de-partments asking for recommendations of people to serve on acommittee to approve a script for the program.

The script was completed (see Tab A) and approved on Nov -.ember 29, 1972 by a committee composed of Carol Goodson (Reserve),Martha Manning (HSL), John Vasi (Amherst Planning), and ConstanceWang (Technical Services).

Further work on the project was suspended until requisitionsfor appropriate equipment could be approved. Purchase orders wereprocessed February 2, 1973 and needed equipment arrived in April.ICC was contacted on April 5 and supplied a photographer, PaulSouter, on that date.

During April and May several hundred slides were taken inthe various units of the Libraries. Concurrently, the script forthe program went through several revisions as ideas for photo-graphs, music, and narration evolved.

The final script (see Tab 13) was ready on June 4 so thatfinal production could be completed by Jtr.e 6. Preview of thefinished production was provided for the Director of Libraries,the Assistant Director for Public Services, and additional staffon June 15.

The program was used throughout the Freshman Orientationperiod, July 18 - August 24, 1973.

-10-

GOALS FOR THE PRODUCTION

In the cover letter that accompanied the completed script(see Tab B), the following goals were stated:

1. Establish in'tffg mind of the new student that theUniversity Libraries are complex. Since most freshmen will berecent high school .graduates, they will be familiar with one-room school libraries and with public libraries housed underone roof. This presentation will show that the Libraries at thisUniversity are many and their resources are varied.

2. Indicate that many access points to the collectionsare provided.

3. Stress that the Libraries provide people to help use thetools so that the collections may be tapped effectively.

4. Attempt to create an atmosphere that suggests to the newstudent that the Libraries care about his future and want to bepart of it.

Tempering the goals was the recognition that "since instruc-tion in the use of specific tools or procedures would be unpro-ductive at this point [during the summer months prior to theactive use of tne Libraries by freshmen], the presentation wasmade" [with the goals listed above] "in mind."

REACTIONS TO THE PROGRAM

In terms of the stated goals, the program fulfilled itsfunction. The script adequately covered the four goals and didnot attempt specific instruction for tools or procedures.

Reactions to the program. varied. A copy of the script wassent to John Buerk, Director of Orientation, and he stated thatthe program was "well organized and should be very helpful" (seeTab C). While freshmen reacted positively to the program, someof the student guides felt that "it should stress informationon how to use the Libraries." Some of the staff felt that themodern music was offensive (Fred Henrich), others felt thereshould be more of it (Susanne Kahle).

The general concensus from staff and students seemed to bethat it was a good first attempt at audiovisual instruction.

There are several advantages of the slide/tape systemover the conducted tour.

SLIDE/TAPE

1. Students view a carefullyprepared and standardized pro-gram.

2. Students are given an over-view of the entire UniversityLibraries system.

3. Students are given theslide/tape presentation inpleasant surroundings.

4. All students can easilyhear and see all of the program.

5. Careful planning and thefact that the entire tour takesplace in only one physical lo-cation make it possible for afifteen-minute presentation. Asa consequence, a high level ofinterest in the presentationcan be maintained.

6. The Libraries need onlythe services of trained studentassistants to operate theequipment.

7. A high-quality and consis-tent program can be designed ata reasonable cost.

CONDUCTED TOUR

1. The quality of the touris subject to the vagaries ofthe individual giving the tour,the mood of the people in thedepartments visited, and theavailability of qualified per-sonnel to lead the tour.

2. Emphasis is placed on onlyone of the Libraries of thesystem.

3. Students are herded throughthe nooks and crannies of fourstack levels, three floors,and several departments.

4. Usially only those nearestthe tour conductor can hearand see the tour highlights.

5. The constant need to changephysical locations requires athirty to forty-five-minutepresentation. This factor coupledwith poor viewing and hearingdecrease the interest in thetour.

6. Professional librarians,in short supply during summermonths, have to be used forthe tour.

7. Neither quality nor con-sistency can be guaranteed butthe high cost of this methodis always consistent and guar-anteed.

The chief disadvantage of the slide/tape system in comparisonwith the conducted tour is that the former does not make avail-able a professional librarian to answer questions.

GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS FOR AUDIOVISUAL INSTRUCTION

1. An overall plan should be designed to establish theplace of audiovisual instruction in the Libraries. Tabs E Hshould be required reading for those involved in the design.

2. SUNYAB should become part of the Library OrientationExchange (LOEX) data bank that has been organized by EasternMichigan University (see Tab D).

SPECIFIC RECOMMENDATIONS FOR AUDIOVISUAL FRESHMAN ORIENTATION

1. Preparation for an orientation program for 1974 shouldbe organized by UGL and work should begin by mid-November.

2. Consideration should be given to the idea of includinginstruction in procedures and the use of tools (see Tab H, p.393).

3. Narration of tapes should be done by students ratherthan professional narrators (see Tab E, p. 1).

THE UNWERSITy 1.11111ARIES

Attached is the final working script for the A-V Orientation to the Libraries.The program will be presented to incoming freshmen this summer. In orderto place, the script into proper perspective, the following should be noted:

SCOPE OF ,,,fIDIENCE

Freshmen not familiar with the .iniversity will be viewing this presen-tation in the slimmer months prior to their use of the libraries as active stu-dents.

GOALS FOR "...,.1-113. PRODUCTION

Since instruction in the use of tools or procedures would beunproductive at this point, the presenmrion was made with the following goalsin mind:

1. Establish in the mind of the ,,)ew student that the University Librariesare complex. Since most freshmen will he recent high school graduates, they

be familiar with one-room schn..)1 libraries and with public libraries housedunder one roof. This presentation sill show that the Libraries at this Universityare many and their resources are .k.,;.tried.

2. Indicate that many access points to the collections are provided.3. Stress that the Libraries provide people to help use the tools so that

the collections may be tapped effcejvely.4. Attempt to create an atmosphere that suggests to the new student that

the Libraries care about his future and want to be part of it:
