FllQl THE CHAIR ...

An MU\ Midwest Chapter membership must be one of the best deals i n town! Far a mere $5.00 a year you have the opportunity t o par t i c ipa te i n great programs such as the Midwest L ibrar ian Exchange Program, t o attend our informative annual meetings, and t o receive the chapter newsletter, IIIWEST NOTE-BOOK. Some of our members are so excited about the Chapter and i t s a c t i v i t i e s , they've paid t h e i r dues through 1997! Others haven't been qu i te that enthusiast ic (I know, I know . . . i t sl ipped your mind). Well, the renewal form can be found i n t h i s issue. Can't remember if you paid o r not? Want t o know i f you're one of the d i l i g e n t ones who's paid up through the next century? Check the address Label on the newsletter. There should be a year indicated on the Label n e x t ~ t o your name. If it says 93, send i n those dues!

We are an act ive chapter and t h a t ' s another reason we're one of the best deals i n town. Committee appointments f o r the coming year are complete. Remember tha t we changed our chapter bylaws Last year so that many committee appointments have a three-year term. If you received a Letter of appointment Last year around t h i s tine, then your membership on the comrnittee w i l l go through our 1996 annual meeting.

I n addi t ion t o our standing committees (cataloging, Public Ser- vices, Publications, Membership, Bylaws, Nominating, and Local Arrange- ments) we have several ad hoc committees working hard on behalf of the chapter membership: the Anniversary Steering Committee, the Handbwk Committee, and the L ibrar ian Exchange Program Review Committee. See page m f o r a l i s t of committee members

chairs. As always, i f you're interested i n a c t i v e l y serving on one of these coni t tees, t a l k wi th one of the members of the Chapter Executive Committee o r wi th the committee chair.

h f te r four years o f excel lent service, Rick Jones (Notre Dame Uni- versity), ed i to r o f the MIWEST NOTE- UJOK, has decided i t ' s time t o pass on the torch. Rick has made many i m - provements i n the newsletter. Under h i s ed i torsh ip i t received a name and an ISSN number; i t ' s nou indexed se lect ive ly i n RIUl h t r a c t s . The WW-8 contains substantive a r t i c l e s as we l l as chapter news and reports fmm our annual meetings. We are gratefu l for a l l o f Rick's contr ibut ions and s h a l l miss h i s guiding hand as ed i to r of MIWEST NOTE-BOOK . Thanks, Rick!

A search f o r a new ed i to r i s now underway. I f you are interested i n t h i s position, contact e i ther Rick Jones or Les l ie Troutman f o r deta i ls .

Thanks are a lso due t o A l l i e Goudy (Western I l l i n o i s University), Program Chair and Robert Delvin ( I l l i n o i s Wesleyan University), Local Arrangements Chair f o r Last f a l l ' s excel lent program. One of the outstanding features of October's meeting was the amount o f music we were able t o enjoy. The "New Music Cafe" and the organ r e c i t a l by Ann Marie k i g l e r were both excellent concerts. Again, thanks t o Al l ie, Bob and a l l those not named here who contributed so much t o our meeting.

TW HATS ON ONE HEAD

I CAN SEE CLEARLY WOY: ME V I N FWH BOTH SIDES OF M E DIRECTOR'S DESK

Beth Christensen (St. OLaf College)

During the eighteen mnths between January 1992 and June 1993, I had the opportunity t o serve as direc- t o r o f L ibrar ies a t S t . Olaf College. Now tha t I am safely ensconced back i n the fami l iar surroundings o f the Music L ibrary a t S t . Olaf, the i n v i t a t i o n t o par t i c ipa te i n t h i s panel has provided me w i th a welcome opportunity t o re f lec t upon my b r i e f experience i n the world of general Library admin- i s t ra t ion . Although t h i s panel focuses on the unique challenges and rewards afforded by people who s p l i t t h e i r time between several positions, my ref lect ions about my own experience w i l l be somewhat d i f fe ren t . For, although I d i d work as both music Librar ian and college Librarian f o r s i x mmths, t r y i n g t o s p l i t one's time between two demanding fu l l - t ime jobs i s not an experience I would recommend. t o anyone (and, qu i te frankly, i t i s not one about which I care t o remi- nisce i n nwre than 30-second periods o f time.) I w i l l instead r e f l e c t upon ins ights tha t I have gained from having been S t . Olaf College's music l ibrar ian, college l ibrar ian, and, now, music Librar ian once again.

s t . Olaf College i s an undergraduate, Liberal a r t s i n s t i - tution--the k ind a t which co l leg ia l models o f governance have an unusual chance o f f lour ish ing. Our L ibrar ies (the general, science, andmusic Librar ies) have Long orjerated w i th a t r a d i t i o n of governance tha t fosters open communication and par t i c ipa t ion a t a l l Levels o f decision making. When we were between d i rectors i n Late 1991, our academic dean suggested that, since we were an academic department on campus, he would Like t o consider a m d e l of governance f o r the Library that was based upon tha t of other departments: he suggested that we consider a ro ta t ing chair w i th a three-year renewable term. The L ibrar ies embraced the idea, and I was chosen as the f i r s t college Librarian. Since I was scheduled f o r a sabbatical Leave during the 1993-94 academic year, the three-year term was reduced t o eighteen months i n my case.

The concept o f a ro ta t ing Library administrator i s not new. Dickinson College has employed t h i s nwdel f a r the past seventeen years, and Joan Bechtel, t h e i r f i r s t ro ta t ing l i b r a r y department head, has wr i t ten eloquently about the benefi ts of such a model. (I have c i ted many of her publ icat ions on my bibliography.) My purpose on t h i s panel i s not, therefore, t o be an advocate f o r o r t o c r i t i c i z e the pract ice o f ro ta t ing Library administrators, but rather t o r e f l e c t upon my experience i n a purely

Midwest Note-Book, v. 3, no. 3 January 1995 pane 3

administrat ive pos i t ion and t o share some ins ights that I have gained about being a music Librar ian and about imminent changes i n the governance st ructure of Librar ies i n general.

Libraries, by t h e i r very nature, have always been i n a s ta te o f f lux. From the time tha t monks had the traumatic experience of witnessing t h e i r r o l e as nanagers of unique il- luminated manuscripts transformed by the advent of moveable type, L i - brarians have struggled t o collect, organize and disseminate the ever-more rapid ly changing world o f information. I n a move that mirrors the Lack of contro l the mnks must have f e l t when they f i r s t heard o f M r . Gutenberg, we have a lso Lost the physical contro l we used t o have over our col lect ions. Information i s streaming by on the electronic highway w i th very L i t t l e thought t o L ibrar ies i n the process. Just as cataloging and reference, professional and paraprofessional positions, and general and music information sources become more integrated and interdependent, so Library management s ty les must be f l e x i b l e enough t o respond t o these external changes. To quote recent ACRL president Jacqueline McCoy:

"Academic l i b r a r i e s are a t a crossroads. Technology, finances, and the changing academy are forcing the Library profession t o reevaluate v i r t u a l l y every feature and function of Librarianship."

Finances, technology and the changing academy have a l l contributed t o an increase i n the nulnber of s p l i t pos i t ions found i n the Library profession. As Libraries expanded dramatical ly during the 1950s, 1960s and ear l y 1970s, the increase i n the number of avai lable pos i t ions was met w i th a trend t o special ize and mm- parmentalize job responsib i l i t ies . I n turn, the budget reductions we have faced during the past two decades have resulted i n the need t o do more work w i th fewer people--and having one person perform work tha t was formerly designated for more than one posi t ion often creates s p l i t positions. At the same time, however, s p l i t posit ions are also a resu l t o f the other two elements o f Jacqueline McCoy's statement: technological innovation and changes i n the academy have often fused job respons ib i l i t i es i n a much m r e pos i t i ve way.

During the past twenty years, general l i b r a r y and business Litera- t u r e has been f i l l e d w i th a r t i c l e s that stress the necessity of p a r t i c i - pat ion i n the decision-making process by a l l Levels of the organization i n order t o be t te r cope w i th rapidly- dweloping change. "TQM", o r t o t a l q u a l i t y management, has found a place beside OED, AACRII, and BVV i n the Library acronym h a l l of fame. Much that has been wr i t ten about p a r t i c i -

patory management, p a r t i c u l a r l y i n the guise o f TQM, has been abstract, a r t i f i c i a l , and of ten d i f f i c u l t , a t best, t o apply t o ind iv idual Library sett ings. I got the fol lowing response when I asked one o f our fe l low MLA, Midwest Chapter colleagues about the TQM management model I had read about a t her (or h is) i ns t i tu t ion :

"I have heard no reports about how t h i s has proceeded i n other departments, and there cer ta in ly haven't been any resu l t s i n ' qua l i t y ' that I am aware o f .... I ' m a b i t puzzled by i t a l l , as are my colleagues i n the Music Library. We're planning t o Lay Low and hope i t passes over us. "

This person noted tha t administrators tended t o spend more time and energy publ ishing about the schemes than actual ly implementing them.

While ideas about improving human resources may seem new t o us, they are older than the pr in ted word. According t o an ancient Chinese proverb: "If you want one year o f prosperity, grow grain. If you want ten years o f prosperity, grow trees. If you want one hundred years of prosperity, grow people." Effect ive Libraries must be i n the business o f nur tur ing strong and healthy elnployees f o r present and fu tu re prosperity. This i s not the job o f one Library director; i t i s a responsib i l i ty tha t each of us carry t o every in te rac t ion wi th our colleagues and patrons. We are a l l responsible for creat ing a humane working environment. Joan Bechtel encourages us t o employ the a r t o f conversation as our paradigm, and, i n doing so, t o make the person wi th whom we are in teract ing feel, i n theologian Martin Buber's terms, Like a revered "thou" rather than an i n - f e r i o r "it." I n the same way tha t catalogers need t o understand the impact o f t h e i r work on a publ ic service setting, so a l l of us need t o understand the impact o f our act ions on the overa l l personnel environment i n our Library. At S t . Olaf, we have used campus resources t o provide an outside consultant t o make sure we are making the best use o f t h i s important Library asset. We have set ground ru les for appropriate and respectful conversational behavior, and we have rewr i t ten our mission statement so that i t forms the context f o r any decision, no matter how small, that i s made i n the Libraries.

I n addi t ion t o w r k w i th in te rna l personnel issues i n the l ibrary, my time as college l i b r a r i a n has increased my awareness o f the Library's pos i t i on on campus and i n regional and nat ional Library networks. One of my favor i te quotations from the reading tha t I d i d whi le preparing f o r t h i s presehtation came from an a r t i c l e wr i t ten by Terrence nech on the various mana-

g e r i a l decisions s ty les of academic Library directors. With somewhat stunning understatement, he notes: "The rea l i za t ion that others do not th ink the same uay o r see a s i tua t ion i n the same terms can be a s t a r t l i n g experience for some individuals." (I remind you that those ind iv iduals i n Mech's study were Library directors.) I f t h i s i s t r u e wi th in your Library system, i t i s even more pervasive w i th in the wider campus and Library communities. I f your Library admini- s t ra to r does not th ink i n the same way you do, t r y t o f i n d a means o f com- municating tha t i s as compatible w i th t h e i r s t y l e as possible.

One of the joys o f being able t o represent the Library t o one's campus administrat ion o r t o other Library d i rectors i s tha t of being able t o use one's own wrds, in f lections, and gestures t o get one's own meaning across. L ibrary admini- s t ra to rs cannot, however, have the knowledge necessary about every aspect of t h e i r Library operations i n order t o speak i n an informed manner about them. As music Librarians, we must be sure t o keep our administrators informed o f the successes and challenges w i t h i n our unit, and as catalogers, reference l ibrar ians, serials, acquisitions, co l lec t ion development, o r c i r cu la t ion Librarians i n music, we must do our best t o inform the administrators o f our music Librar ies so that they can, i n turn, carry that message t o other levels o f the administration. From my own experience, I would encourage you t o include some good news w i th the bad, t o propose suggestions for change w i th the problems, and t o frame i n f o r m t i o n about the music Library w i t h i n the overa l l context o f the information environment on your campus. Be w i l l i n g t o represent the Library i n your own words whenever possible; the sign of a competent Library admini- s t ra to r i s often one who allows others t o share i n the presentation o f the l i b ra ry . At the same time, have easy-to-decipher information read i l y avai lable for your Library administrator, so tha t the i n f o r m t i o n about the music l i b r a r y w i l l be as up-to- date and concisely informative as possible.

Technological changes have added t o the model o f conversation we practice. General reference sources are suddenly avai lable onl ine i n the music Library i n a manner that allows us t o bet ter in tegrate them i n t o our work and processes. Conversely, music sources are also much more accessible t o people across campus o r w i t h i n the community. INTERBET conversations have promoted t h i s dialogue and are having a dramatic impact on haw we funct ion as Librarians. Even MLA i s nw much more aware o f the a c t i v i t i e s and, more importantly, the views of i t s constituents; i t cannot act i n isolat ion, wi th regular communication


only through quarterly mailings o r annual conferences. I t s members now have a da i l y dialogue on the INTERNET. I n the same manner, Libraries can no Longer ex is t without da i l y interact ion with a l l aspects o f t he i r communities or campuses, both external ly and internal ly .

Increased access t o information i s a pr iv i lege that also carr ies responsibi l i ty. Whether o r not the change t o par t ic ipat ion i n t h i s information flow i s as dramatic a t your i ns t i t u t i on as it was a t S t . Olaf, it w i l l cer ta in ly have an impact nonetheless. While the increased number of s p l i t posit ions i n our L i - brar ies may have stemmed from budget- ary constraints, they also afford us u i t h greater opportunity t o become knowledgeable part icipants i n the decision-making process. Technology has spurred us t o become n r e "compleatn Librarians, l us t as i t seems t o be pushing us t o the breaking m i n t u i t h the volume of information it requires us t o master.

This year has provided yet another in terest ing t rans i t iw , as I have returned t o the nusic Library. I ' m back home, and the chance t o be surrounded by music reference books,

s p l i t positions, I volunteered eagerly t o say a few words about positions s p l i t between and cataloging and reference. After I wrote t h i s up, I did do a quick search through Library Literature on CD-ROM and determined that (1) my opinions are i n Line with current thought, and (2) the three o r four relevant a r t i c l es I came up with were a r t i c les you, tw, could come Up with by the same quick search--so I did not prepare a bibliography hand- out. The few ar t i c les 1 read about s p l i t positions d id a l e r t me t o the obvious differences between catalogers and reference Librarians as wel l as concerns about s p l i t positions.

One good description I ran across a b u t the basic difference between catalogers and reference Librarians was wri**.tn in a 193L ,.. - Library Journal a r t i c le :

"The cataloger must view the resources of the Library as whole; she has t o consider comprehensiveness, consis- tency, and permanence--not t o mention economy of time and money. The reference L i - brarian natural ly thinks more i n terms of expediency for the . immediate demand.. .No small

part o f a reference L i - brarian's duty i s t o unlock the records o f the catalog f o r the student." With regard t o s p l i t t i n g

positions, the obvious advantage f o r the l ib ra r ian i s the opportunity both t o develop new s k i l l s and t o add variety t o the work. One a r t i c l e I skimmed through lnentioned that the d iv is ion between publ ic and technical services w i l l break dovn i n the future because i t s inherent nature i s harmful and wasteful o f human resources. Separation of functions wi th in a Library can also iso late staf f . There are severalconcerns, however, not the Least of which i s the supervision of those i n s p l i t positions. Job de- script ions need t o be wel l defined, and i f Inore than one supervisor i s involved, there needs t o be an open Line of communication between the supervisors. I f the supervisors have d i f fe ren t management styles, the employee can get caught i n the middle, somet i rs serving only as a messenger between the two supervisors. Another potent ia l problem can be a power struggle between supervisors, espec- i a l l y i f one o f the supervisors i s of higher rank than the other. Again, the employee gets caught i n the middle. Beyond the problems of supervision, there i s the fact that some srnaller Libraries may not have enough staff time t o provide t ra in ing i n new areas--and of course there are always saw Librarians who may not be open t o change.

. Since we are music special- ists, I presume that many of us are wearing a t Least two if not three hats simply by v i r t ue o f the fact that we deal with more than one aspect o f the subject. I think what prompted me t o volunteer so readi ly t o speak abovt t h i s issue, i s that I have encountered the problems o f t ry ing t o fit i n to more than one department i n a large Library. Because we Lost a music cataloger whose replacement was over two years i n coming, I became the primary cataloger o f music during that time. I have always had cataloging respon- s i b i l i t i e s . and I Love t o ca ta lw

~~~~~ ~~

music, but I ' m not a REAL cataloger, a t Least i n the eyes of our Cataloging Department. soon a f t e r we Lost our music cataloger, I came t o real ize that she had been my spokesperson i n the cataloging department. She was a t rue cataloger whose opinion was valued by that department. Fa i r l y soon a f t e r she Left, I began t o be aware that the various pecul iar i t ies of music--those L i t t l e things that make scores and sound recordings d i f fe ren t than books--were being challenged. Standard procedures were being questioned and then changed, creating a Less e f f i c i en t workflow. As I analyzed the situation, I realized that i n our en t i re Library, I ' m the only one who haps between departments. I ' m basical ly a re f -

erence Librarian who does cataloging, and that i s a d i f f i c u l t thing f o r catalogers i n Larger Libraries t o accept, I gather!

Although potent ia l problems exist i n t ry ing t o work i n two d i f - ferent departments, the advantages of being able t o work wi th the publ ic and catalog as well, f a r outweigh any pos- s ib le disadvantages. I ' m sure you're a l l aware o f these advantages: the reference Librarian who catalogs knows how the b i b record i s put together, what f i e l ds are indexed, how cata- lagers formulate uniform t i t l e s , and so forth. This person can't help but have a f i r m grasp of searching, which, i n turn, helps i n teaching searching techniques t o the public. Further, the cataloger who knows what i t i s Like t o uork with the publ ic and t o teach the publ ic t o use the catalog i s better equipped t o deal not only with certain types of Local cataloging decisions, but also t o understand the f rustrat ions of reference Librarians over inaccessible backlogs. We a l l know that cataloging and reference go hand i n hand. We read the obvious over and over again: the best reference Librarian i n the country cannot do successful work without the support o f a well-constructed catalog, and the reverse i s also true. The work'of the best cataloger i n the world i s Lost i f not supported by a knowledgeable reference s ta f f . A t the very extreme r i s k of a l ienat ing the catalogers i n t h i s crowd, I must add that I was very impressed with one o f Michael Och's f i r s t columns as president i n the MLA Newsletter. I t was sor t of an advice column, the advice based on what he had Learned i n t h i r t y years as a music Librarian. For those of you who don't reca l l that column, Let me refresh your memries:

"The smartest way t o begin your career i s as a cataloger. Always think of cataloging as a publ ic service. I f i t ' s not worth cataloging, i t ' s not worth cataloging well. If it i s worth cataloging, i t ' s worth cataloging quickly. Ionore useless rules." ~n fo r t una te l~ , or maybe fortunately, t h i s i s the way I approach cataloging. Certain elements are v i t a l t o the public, and others just aren't. With ever-increasing backlogs, why should we spend time on things that have L i t t l e o r no ef fect on the public? I f one does not work with the public, I can imagine that one could get los t i n a l l those rules t o the extent o f forget t ing momentarily that cataloging rea l l y i s a publ ic service. We have no reason t o catalog materials other than f o r the public.

Before I y ie ld t o the more

a r t i cu la te panel members, I have jus t one Last thing t o say about cataloging reference Librarians--or rather, reference Librarians who catalog! As I ' v e come t o know some o f you over the past eight years and hear you t e l l about the problems and successes of your l ibraries, I ' m aware that we are fortunate a t the University o f Wis- consin-Milwaukee t o have a publ ic service s ta f f member i n our music col lect ion who i s involved i n cataloging music materials. We have been allowed, although not exactly encouraged, t o par t ic ipate i n the retrospective conversion of music materials. Because o f the involvement of public service staf f i n music retro, we now have our en t i re collect ion represented i n the onl ine catalog. Since we never had a card catalog f o r scores or books about music up i n the music col lect ion (only i n the main reference raam), t h i s i s t r u l y wonderful! Now not every t i t l e i s polished up, and many are taken just as they appear i n OCLC--and I ' m as aware as you that there i s a certain arnount o f garbage i n OCLC--but a t Least our patrons have scme access t o our ent i re holdings through the onl ine catalog--and remember, m e access i s better than no access! Also, most o f our 30,050-item backlog o f LPs has been searched, exported, and tagged " i n process" by publ ic service music s ta f f . Although we can not search our onl ine catalog f o r sound recordings without t r ipp ing over hundreds of " i n process" t i t l e s , our patrons have essent ia l ly f u l l access t o what was previously accessible only through searching discographies, then going t o the backlog t o see i f we had what we knew had been recorded! I ' m hardly i n the posi t ion t o give any of you advice, but I can't t e l l you what i t means t o me as a reference Librarian t o have f u l l access t o our en t i re col lect ion and most o f the backlog through the onl ine catalog. Given the s ize o f our collection, t h i s would not have been possible without the a i d o f publ ic service s ta f f i n the music col lect ion. Go f o r i t i f you can !

WLTIPLE WllS OW OWE MUD: SUPWRT STAFF IN WSIC UBRARIES

Bana J. Ba t t che r tear l ing O r e m State lh ivers i ty )

As I worked on t h i s paper, I f w n d myself becoming increasingly unwmfortable u i t h the idea o f speaking f o r a group o f people t o whom I do not belong. I wondered whether I was addressing support s t a f f concerns o r my ideas o f support s t a f f concerns. I asked several Bowling Green State University (EGSU) support s ta f f members t o reed dra f ts o f t h i s paper and t o w m n t on the content and tone. Uhi le many of the concerns of professionals and paraprofessionals may be similar, i f not identical, there are issues and vieupoints that are unique t o paraprofessional s t a f f . Whether these wnccrns can be resolved o r not, awareness o f those concerns can assist i n maintaining co l leg ia l working relationships.

"Support s t a f f ," "paraprofessionals," "Library assistants": the various words used t o refer t o those who hold m y positions i n Libraries m y be confusing and, a t times, contentious. As Larry Oberg states "there i s s igni f icant mncern about, but L i t t l e agreement on, nomenclature.. .the term mraorofessional i s a hiahlv charged bne"' tcol leqe & ~esearci; Gbrar i is , 1992, 104). I s s t a tus / t i t l e dependent on degrees held? On the c lass i f i - cat ion of the posi t ion held? On the responsibi l i t y and author i ty of the posit ion? Oberg points out the increasing b lu r r ing of roles and responsib i l i t ies between professional and paraprofessional s t a f f members. Paraprofessional staff may be respon- s i b l e for o r i g i na l cataloging, collect ion development, reference, and administration. As an example, the head of EGSU's Access Services department, which includes circu- lation, i n t e r l i b ra r y Loan, reserves, document delivery, stacks maintenance, bui ld ing security, Linking, and dupli- cating, does not hold an IILS, yet the posi t ion i s upper middle-management. I n my experience, t h i s "grey area" of t i t l e versus responsib i l i t ies becomes increasingly obvious i n specialized or branch l ibraries, where we must re ly heavily on support s t a f f members t o provide a number of services.

While there i s a sizeable and growing body o f Literature focusing on support s t a f f i n l ibraries, very L i t t l e of the l i te ra tu re addresses support s ta f f i n specialized collections, and nothing that I ' v e found t o date addresses the issues and concerns o f support s t a f f who hold posit ions wi th mult iple areas of responsibi l i t y . Rather than summarize the Literature included i n the support s t a f f section of the bibliography, I ' L L out l ine the duties o f one of the staff members i n the Music Library and Sound Recordings Archives a t BtSU and

then w i l l discuss some of the implications o f those duties. Anne Tracy holds the t i t l e of Library associate 11. Her primary duties include h i r i ng and t ra in ing a student s taf f of approximately twenty-five, as wel l as preparing t he i r weekly pay records and monitoring the student budget; spec i f i ca l l y supervising and mn i t o r i ng a l l students who work wi th sound recordings and reserve circu- lation; supervising shelving; processing a l l reserve materials; coordinating physical and equipment maintenance; assist ing with reference; and par t ic ipat ing i n our evening and week- end supervisory rotat ion. I n addition, Anne coordinates a number o f special projects, and has part icipated i n several Library-wide t ra in ing programs and committees. She was a member of a Library-wide task farce charged u i t h developing an a l l -s ta f f t ra in ing prqlram fo r the I11 system, and she i s co-chairing a committee that has developed a Library-wide student s t a f f t ra in ing program.

What are some o f the implications o f such a wide-ranging set of responsibi l i t ies? First, the disadvantages. For support s t a f f members:

(1) The posi t ion i s not as c lear ly defined as a posit ion wi th a s ingle focus. With the infanvxls "other duties as assigned," the s ta f f member may f i n d addit ional duties being added t o her or h i s posi t ion with L i t t l e chance o f change i n c lass i f icat ion o r compensation. (2) Generally, there w i l l be a Longer t ra in ing period for a new employee i n the position. The Longer the t ra in ing period, the Longer i t takes for an employee t o f e e l able t o handle a posi t ion competently. (3) With greater respon- s i b i l i t y comes a greater chance for con f l i c t wi th the s ta f f member's supervisor. Supervisors may not agree u i t h staff members' decisions on how t o handle problems o r carry out projects. (4) The staff member may have greater responsibi l i t ies,but not authori ty. The degree o f author i ty given t o the staff member may vary and may depend on the l ~ n a g e r i a l s t y l e of the supervisor .

For supervisors: (1) Wore involvement, and time, i s necessary f o r t ra in ing support s t a f f with numerous responsibi l i t ies. To avoid f rustrat ing an employee by providing insuf f ic ient time t o Learn a par t icu lar area of her/his job, the supervisor may have t o p r i o r i t i z e the

various areas o f respon- s i b i L i ty . Other responsi- b i l i t i e s w i l l have t o be delegated t o other s t a f f members u n t i l the new employe can Learn that par t of the job. (2) There i s Less chance f o r input i n t o the day-to-day ac t i v i t i e s of support s ta f f members, who must p r i o r i t i z e a number o f tasks. I n other words, supervisors Lose andlw give up a degree o f control. (3) There i s an ever-present temptation t o s h i f t more responsib i l i t ies t o support s t a f f positions, par t i cu la r l y as the Librarians' duties are increased or shifted. (4) Positions may grow wel l beyond t he i r approved des- cr ip t ions according t o indi - vidual support s t a f f members' interests and ab i l i t i e s . It of ten i s d i f f i c u l t t o reclas- s i f y positions t o re f lec t irr creased Levels o f knowledge and responsibi l i ty. (5) Part icu lar ly i n the case of BGSU, where support staff par t ic ipat ion i n Library-wide committees i s a given, support s ta f f members w i l l not spend t he i r ent i re day at the i r specif ic jobs, resul t ing i n a Loss o f work time f o r the indiv idual department or branch.

There are, however, advantages t o posit ions wi th mul t ip le responsi- b i l i t i e s , both for the support staff personnel and f o r professionals. For support s taf f :

(1) The job w i l l be more interesting. Varied respon- s i b i l i t i e s help t o eliminate tedium. (2) There i s a greater sense of par t ic ipat ion and owner- ship, both i n the branch Library and i n the larger Library organization. (3) The s ta f f members may gain a bet ter understanding of the "big picture" o f the organization. Decision-making u i 1 1 re f lec t the knowledge ard consideration of organizational goals. I n addition, the staff members w i 11 have a greater understanding of and appreciation for decisions that are made.

For supervisors: (1) There i s greater potential for s ta f f retention and better morale i n the workplace, which should Lead t o greater produc- t i v i t y . (2) Operating decisions may be more sound as support staff, who often are i n charge of executing the decisions,

I I Midwest Note-Book, v. 3, no. 3 January 1995 page 7 I

par t ic ipate i n making those decisions. (3) Librarians can focus more of t he i r attention on t he i r own increasing and s h i f t i n g responsibi l i t ies. Some support staff concerns extend we l l beyond the immediate posit ion. A major concern i s whether t o pursue an MLS degree. Whi Le cer ta in ly not al l , many support staff members are placebund. Pursuing the degree i t s e l f may r e p r e s e n t c o n s i d e r a b l e upheavals i n both uork and personal Lives, not t o mention the mnetary cost involved. The jab market may not be promising, par t i cu la r l y if the s ta f f member i s Limited t o job opportunities i n a specific g q r a p h i c region. The advantages o f obtaining an MLS may not outweigh the costs. This i s a trade-off f o r the support s t a f f member, and a decision that requires much consideration.

I would Like t o summarize Dart o f - ~~~~~ ~ ~

a presentation giveri a t the A~AO-SSIG meeting i n Nay o f 1994. TWO of BGSUms staff members, Anne Tracy (MLISRA) and Mary Beth Zachary (head, Access Ser- vices), who served on the task force that developed and conducted a Library-wide, system t ra in ing program, oresented t he i r ~ e r s ~ e c t i v e s on t he i r . ~~

involvement i n (he program. I think the issues they raised are s igni f icant for any paraprofessional position. Many of the issues iden t i f ied are endemic t o a hierarchical mindset. While not intending t o diminish the importance of and theoret ica l grounding gained as a resul t o f wmpleting the MLS, some of the issues also may be the resul t of d i f f e r i ng professional and paraprofessional social izat ion. First, Anne and Mary Beth indicated that while faculty1 professionals are educated t o assume a mindset i n which research and self- teaching ere expected, support staff t rad i t iona l l y have been trained (or, as Oberg states i n h i s LIBADMIN posting, "we educate Librarians, but we t r a i n support staff."). I n par t i - cipating i n Library-wide committees, paraprofessionals may be hesitant t o speak out, feeling that t he i r opinions and experiences are not as valued as those of professionals. Parapro- fessionals m y be hesitant t o be i n a posit ion of t ra in ing o r inst ruct ing facul ty or supervisors; faculty or supervisors rnay not accept inst ruct ion from a support s t a f f member. Support staff often do not have the scheduling freedm that administrative s ta f f o r f acu l tv mv have.

uork. Finally, on support s t a f f i n

music Libraries.. .Support s t a f f i n music l ib ra r ies often have background, i f not degrees, i n music. This subject knowledge greatly enhances job performance i n the individual music Library, where the support s t a f f member ' s opinions, ideas, and insights may be highly valued. While music- Library p a r a p r o f e s s i o n a l s may have opportunities t o share t h e i r general position-related concerns with other Library support s t a f f members, they don't have a forum f o r sharing support s t a f f concerns that are unique t o music Libraries, outside t he i r ind i - vidual place o f employment--to com- municate w i t h o t h e r m u s i c l i b r a r y parapmfessionals o r t o get a sense o f the Larger f i e l d o f music Librar- ianship. I real ize that time and funding are crucia l issues, but, perhaps, i t ' s time t o explore ways t o increase the involvement o f music Library paraprofessionals i n the profession.

SHADES OF 6RAV A PRACTICAL DISCUSSION ON

COPYRIGHT ISSUES lVlD CONCERNS A PANEL DISCUSSION, PRESENTED BY

aYIU J. BOEfTCHER, LAURA GAYLE GREEN, AND ANNA SYLVESTER

A Report ad S u s r y by h r k Smarff

(Vashingtm University)

Bonna Boettcher opened the session u i t h an overview of recent copyright Legislation affecting music Librarians. The Audio Home Recording Act of 1992 treated noncommercial home recording of sound recordings as comparable t o previous decisions for broadcast and video materials, i.e., it i s generally allowed. The impact of t h i s act upon Libraries i s s t i l l open t o debate. The Copyright Reform Act of 1993, apparently near death i n a Senate committee, would have a negative impact on the Library of Congress's col lect ions by abolishing the mandatory deposit o f materials for which registered copyright i s being sought. Bonna also pr.esented a L is t of issues involving course reserves, par t icu lar ly those items that are copies of copyr ighted mater ia l , and a bibliography of relevant ar t ic les. [NOTE: A copy of Ms. Boettcher's supplement i s attached t o the end of t h i s art icle--ed.l

Anna Sylvester continued with some comments about off-the-air recordings, copying computer software, and copying and use of video materials. TO her knowledge, guidelines for using off-the-air recordings i n class were developed i n 1979. Stipulations include:

(1) copying t o be made by specific request of faculty member, only one "copying event" i s allowed per program, regardless of the number of times the program i s broadcast;

(2) the copy i s t o be used i n a classroom sett ing or a formal in-home Learning program; and, (3) the copy i s t o be destroyed after 45 days.

Anna further addressed some Limitations on the copying and use of computer software. Archival backup copies are generally acceptable, but the archival and backup copies Cannot be i n use a t the same time. Local adaptations and improvements are allowed, but cannot be d is t r ibuted (either for free or f o r fee) without permission. Distr ibuted use of software on a Local area network (LAN) requires Licensing. With regard t o the use o f video materials i n the Library, a recent issue has been the viewing o f videos by groups i n the l ibrary. Amng the restr ic t ions on group viewing that are emerging are showings that do not meet defined "educational uses" require Licensing and whether the showing i s

for f ree or for a fee. Some o f the amdit ions imposed on "educational use" are that the viewing session must be Led by a student or teacher, that the audience be l imi ted t o students i n the class, and that they a l l occupy the same room.

Laura Gayle Green addressed copyright issues that ar ise u i t h preservation ac t i v i t i e s and dealing with donors. Damaged and lost material may be reproduced by the Library f o r i t s col lect ion only i f it cannot be acquired commercially and that i t s unavai labi l i ty i s ver i f ied through "reasonable effort,'' a s t ipulat ion d i f f i c u l t t o define. When the Library accepts a donation of manuscript material representing the donor's work, a standard recommendation i s t o seek t o have the in te l lec tua l r ights t o the material signed over, but Laura acknowledged

that not a l l donors would care t o do so. She touched on the potent ia l L i t iga t ion over copyrighted material being disseminated v ia the INTERBET and what effect t h i s L i t iga t ion would have an the INTERNET'S t rad i t iona l l y "hang- Loose" culture. She painted out that many issues w i l l be easier f o r the Librarian t o deal with i f the Library or the campus has a pol icy t o refer to; she mentioned some ins t i tu t ions (par t icu lar ly the University of Georgia and Wellesley College) whose pol ic ies have served as models.

Following the formal presentations, attendees had the opportunity t o ask questions and raise issues related t o the presentations. A m g these were:

1) A tangible example o f the propagation o f copyrighted material over the INTERNET i s the periodic pastings of sound f i l e s of Beatles songs by the o r ig ina l performers. Comments pointed out that the issue was not merely that o f network users being able t o hear the songs, but of having the capacity t o capture, copy, and d i s t r i b u t e them without Limitations. Someone expressed surprise that the song Lyrics database a t University of wisconsin-Parkside had not yet been challenged f o r copyright infringement. A " f l i p side" t o these situations i s the growing practice of pasting one's work on the INTERNET, a promotional t oo l fo r creative a r t i s t s seeking t o bu i ld interest i n t he i r creations.

2) A donation issue that generated discussion was that of homemade tapes donated t o the Library. Another was tha t of individuals subscribing t o periodicals and then donating the issues t o the Library i n Lieu o f a Library subscription ( individual subscriptions are

often cheaper). Some publishers exp l i c i t l y forb id th is .

3) A return t o the issue of multiple-viewer playing of videos brought up a discussion o f purchasing performing r ights t o videos a t time o f purchase. A small number o f Libraries were doing so, either select ively o r as a bLanket policy. This could have a s i g n i f i c a n t impact on collection, since some fees might exceed the cost o f the item.

4) One person commented that clearer Laws on copyright and f a i r use would produce better compliance. One reason f o r the murk i s that copyright Law i s p r inc ipa l l y case-driven, so that the "rules" are developed af ter the "game" begins.

5 ) Another person asked about poLiciesonal louing in- l ibrary copyingof sound recordings for personal use. I t appeared that 35-40% o f i n s t i t u t i o n s represented d i d provide for such a c t i v i t y i n some way, although some required that patrons bring i n the i r own equipment t o do so.

6) f l u l t ip le copies of reserve items came up again. Among the comments was the re- counting of one ins t i tu t ion 's response t o this, which was t o consider mult iple copies of copyrighted material t o be acceptable i f the i ns t i t u t i on owned a correspanding number of the o r i g i na l items. While seeming t o satisfy any f inancia l issue raised by copylng, such practice might f a l l i n t o the archive vs. service copy debate, which would seem t o disallow use of the archival material and the service copy a t the same time.

7) Are there probLems u i t h copying a tape o f a student performance? Consensus was that t h i s was best l e f t t o the i n s t i t u t i o n ' s r e c o r d i n g services, and that copyright issues related t o the works performed would probably be covered by blanket Licensing agreements that most schools enter i n t o with the major l icensing agencies. The performer's r ights are a d i f ferent issue.

8) From the perspective o f a l l the anxieties evident during t he p resen ta t i ons and discussion, Bonna expressed


concern tha t Librar ians were be ing i n t i m i d a t e d i n t o resor t ing t o p o t e n t i a l l y expensive solut ions such as the Copyright Clearance Center t o j u s t i f y copying pract ices tha t would be Legal according t o current law. Uhi le not a l l l i b r a r y copying f a l l s under f a i r use guidelines, much of i t i s f a i r use.

Commitments have been received from several chapter members t o pursue a number of these projects. Longer term a c t i v i t i e s might include producing a d e f i n i t i v e h is to ry o f the chapter from 1941 t o the present, incorporat ing data from o r a l h i s to ry interviews, and establ ishing a database of biographical information t o music i n the Midwestern states.

Ideas and suggestions are welcone. Please contact any committee members (Bonna Boettcher, Jean G e i l (chair), A l l i e Goudy, Marty Jenkins, Richard Jones, Sue Stancu, and Steve Sundell). Two r e t i r e d members, Dena Epstein and Marion Korda, have also agreed t o serve on t h i s committee as advisors.

The MU--Miduest Chapter bylaws committee met a t the 1994 annual meeting t o consider possible chanaes t o the chapter bylaws. The committee discussed the bylaws per ta in ing t o the r o l e of the chapter secretary-treasurer as chair of the membership committee.

The Publications Committee met on Thursday, 27 October; the members attending were Stephen Wright (chair), Laura Gayle Green, Anna Sylvester, Grace Fitzgerald, and new member Kim ~Loyd. (Ruth Inman was added t o the committee Later a t the chapter meeting.)

The sole topic discussed was the schedule and d is t r ibu t ion of responsib i l i t ies f o r the neu edi t ion of A Directory of Nusic Collections i n the Midwestern United states. Each committee member w i 11 have responsib i l i ty f o r coordinating and edi t ing the entr ies for one o r two states. s. Uright d is t r ibuted copies of the various state sections (from the previous edit ion) t a the members; the coordinators f o r each state w i l l send copies of the entr ies t o the respective Libraries and ask them to mark additions end corrections. The coordinators u i l l also determine i f any new entr ies are required, and send out a survey form ( t o be provided by S. Wright) when necessary. S. Wright w i l l also provide model cover Letters t o be used when mailing out the entr ies or surveys.

There was a question as t o whether the chapter could reimburse the cost o f stamps i n order t o provide stamped, self-addressed return envelopes. Chapter Chair Lesl ie

Troutman for tu i tously dropped i n around t h i s time and said that t h i s could probably be done.

The problems of edi t ing the o r ig ina l Wordperfect directory f i l e were discussed; S. Uright offered to. provide individual floppy disks f o r the coordinators, containing the appropriate sections o f the o ld edition. Most of the committee members indicated that edi t ing these f i l e s would not be an insurmountable problem.

The projected schedule ca l l s for the entr ies and surveys t o be mailed before the end of 1994. Libraries w i l l be asked t o return t he i r updated entr ies or surveys by February; t h i s w i l l allow time f o r verbal followups a t the MLA meeting i n Atlanta. The coordinators w i l l then ed i t the UordPerfect f i l e s f o r t he i r respective state, following a standard page format that S. Wright w i l l design. The edited f i l e s should be submitted t o S. Wright by the beginning of summer 1995. S. Wright w i l l then ed i t the ent i re directory and prepare indexes; the completed directory w i l l be submitted t o the MLA Clearinghouse by the f a l l of 1995. The present intention i s t o o f f e r a printed-on-demand paper version and an A S C I I version (available through the MLA-L f i l e l i s t and the Indiana University Music Library WWU Site).
