<h3><a name="goals">Fondren Library Goals and Objectives</a></h3>
Dr. Beth J. Shapiro,       
University Librarian,
shapiro@rice.edu
<p>
I would like to take this opportunity to welcome you back to campus and to share with you our plans for the coming year. We have had a busy summer planning new programs and services.
<p>

<a href="GIF/front_door.gif"><img src="GIF/front_door_small.gif"></a>
<br><b>At the beginning the the fall semester, new students enter Fondren Library through the ID-activated turnstile.</b>
<p>
The Reference Room and Fay Bibliography Room have been merged with a modified Owlnet laboratory to provide an area where students and faculty will be able to use both print and electronic resources side by side. More than 40 workstations (Unix and Macinto
sh) have been installed in clusters throughout the Reference area and the number of CD-ROM workstations also has been increased. Electronic texts not accessible across the campus network will be available for checkout and use within the enhanced Reference
 Room and Fay Bibliography Room. (Please see <a href="#studio">page three</a> for more information about this new development.)
<p>
Construction will begin this fall on the second floor directly above the Reference area for the Rice Electronic Studio Center. This exciting project will provide a home for the Electronic Studio. In addition to curriculum development support, the center w
ill house an Electronic Text and Image Center, our outreach to K-12 schools, and   a state of the art electronic classroom.
(Details about this project are provided on <a href="#studio">page three</a>.)
<p>
The library has contracted with an outside vendor to provide improved copy services within Fondren Library. In late August, the publicly accessible copy machines were upgraded. In addition, the cost of copies purchased with copy cards has been reduced for
 the higher volume copy cards (see <a href="#prices">page five</a> for details).  
<p>
Many portions of the library's book stacks are filled to capacity making it impossible to shelve new receipts. We have begun to both move additional materials to remote storage and install more shelves to address this problem. Some individual seating on t
he second floor and in the basement will be removed so that shelves can be installed. This is unavoidable or room will not be available to shelve new acquisitions. It will take us most of this year to solve the space and shelving problems throughout the l
ibrary so we ask for your patience.
<p>
Several new microfilm and microfiche readers have been purchased and installed in the Microforms Area. The Center for Scholarship and Information (CSI) as a separate service point has been discontinued. The video collection has been moved to the Brown Fin
e Arts Library and the Reserve area. The Computing Reference Area (CRA) in the Mudd building also has been discontinued. Most of the books have been relocated to the basement of Fondren Library (in room B40
where CSI was previously located).  
<p>
As you can see, we have been busy over the summer and we have numerous activities still to accomplish this coming year. What follows is a statement of our goals and of many of the objectives we      have set for 1994--95. We, in the Fondren Library, look 
forward to working with     you this year.
<p>
<h4>Support the scholarly endeavors of the faculty and students of Rice University by providing access to the broadest possible range of materials both from our own collections and from collections located elsewhere in the region, nation, and the world.
</h4>
<ul>
<li>		Continue extending library local area networks so that electronic information resources are 	accessible from any
		library workstation and to the extent possible from any campus network workstations.
<li>		Identify and promote the use of electronic resources on the network and provide easy access through building interfaces: <b><a href="http://riceinfo.rice.edu/">RiceInfo</b></a>, Mosaic, Gopher etc; and through experimenting with cataloging electroni
c resources.
<li>		Work with staff in computing to create an electronic text, image, and learning center in the library that will engage in innovative curriculum development projects with Rice faculty and HISD.
</ul>
<p>
<h4>Develop, organize and preserve library collections in all formats in a safe and secure environment.</h4>
<ul>
<li>		Improve communication between faculty and students and collection development librarians through scheduling annual orientation, individual meetings, and focus group discussions to consider budget, selection procedures, statistics, staffing and polic
ies.
<li>		Strengthen the role of collection development librarians and the faculty liaison program by outlining more specific roles and duties for the
liaisons and improve communication with the liaisons by meeting with them more frequently.
</ul>
<p>
<h4>Develop information services that anticipate and respond to the changing expectations and needs of our users and that contribute to developing an information literate public.</h4>
<ul>
<li>		Develop and promote a user centered focus for all library areas and programs.
<li>		Implement a new integrated 
		library system .
<li>		Support Rice's partnership with the HISD K-8 Lab school.
<li>		Create instructional programs to assist faculty and students to develop the skills necessary to access the variety of electronic information resources available from within Fondren Library and its gateways.
</ul>
<p>
<h4>Provide appropriate physical facilities and environmental conditions for the collections and their use with comfortable, secure areas for users and staff.</h4>
<ul>
<li>		Evaluate and improve security procedures at the front entrance.
<li>		Continue to evaluate the new library copy service and implement appropriate enhancements.
</ul>
<p>
<h4>Provide appropriate administrative programs to support and encourage the accomplishment of the above goals including fostering a skilled and dedicated staff and implementing strong development and public relations programs.</h4>
<ul>
<li>		Complete a development plan outlining sources of outside funding and strategies to raise funds to support the acquisition of library materials and new technologies.
<li>		Continue to work with the Development Office and Friends of Fondren to raise current restricted and endowed funds for library collections, services, and equipment.
<li>		Publicize the Gifts and Memorials
		program with faculty and staff on campus.
<li>		Continue to upgrade staff equipment required to access electronic information resources.
</ul>

<h3><a name="studio">The Electronic Studio Center</a></h3>
Dr. G. Anthony Gorry,       
Vice President for Graduate Studies, Research and Information Systems,
tony@rice.edu and Dr. Beth J. Shapiro,       
University Librarian,
shapiro@rice.edu
<p>
The rapid pace of change that      President Gillis emphasized in his inaugural address will thrust our students into a world transformed by information and technology. In September of 1993, the Clinton Administration offered a vision    of this new world
 where all Americans  will have electronic access to vast amounts of information.
<p>
In 1990, the Computer Planning Board of the University anticipated this revolution and envisioned a new           educational environment for the University --  the Electronic Studio -- that will  prepare students for the world of the future. 
We are now engaged in an intensive effort to realize their vision on campus. Like a recording or architecture studio, the Electronic Studio is an environment for collaborative work in education. But unlike these other studios, the Electronic Studio is not
 bound to a single place. 
<p>
In the Electronic Studio, the stage, sets, and props are built from complex webs of text, graphics, video, and audio. The studio will organize these elements in novel ways to serve the needs of students and teachers. Faculty can transform written theories
 into demonstrations and models into simulations. Digitized video for demonstrations and conferences can be an integral part of collaborative work among teachers, students and librarians.
<p>
The expansive nature of this work distinguishes the Electronic Studio from other educational computing laboratories. While many educational computing efforts focus on individual learners, the Electronic Studio accommodates the sharing of knowledge that is
 the hallmark of the Rice community. In this regard, the Electronic Studio is intimately connected with the ongoing development of the Fondren Library and an Electronic Studio Center is being
constructed on the second floor of Fondren Library this fall. Kevin Long (klong@rice.edu) will lead this effort.
<p>
<h4>Building the Electronic Studio Center</h4>

The primary activity of the Electronic Studio Center will be the integration of electronic resources and advanced information technology into teaching and research. A team from Information Systems and Fondren Library will form the staff working in the Ele
ctronic Studio Center. 
<p>
Over the past two years, members of the staff have been working closely with the Rice community and with teachers in the Houston Independent School District (HISD) and other schools in Texas to apply advanced computing in education. Consolidation of these
 efforts within the Electronic Studio Center will stimulate further collaboration for the creation of innovative learning environments. 
<p>
The initial components of the Electronic Studio Center are summarized below:
<p>
<i>	Curriculum Development </i><br>
During the 93/94 academic year, computing and library staff worked with Rice faculty from such diverse disciplines as art history, mathematics, and biology to develop simulations, curriculum support materials, solutions sets, and lecture notes for use in 
Rice courses. In the Electronic Studio Center, we will focus additional staff and computing resources on curriculum development. 
<p>
<i>	Electronic Text and Image 
	Center (ETIC)</i><br> 
Another key aspect of the Electronic Studio Center will be the Electronic Text and Image Center. Staffed by a librarian, the ETIC's goals will be to facilitate access to electronic texts and images for the Rice community and to train and support faculty a
nd students in the use of text analysis software. ETIC also will provide resources that may be used for curriculum development. Many ETIC resources will be made available across the campus network.
<p>
 <i>		Electronic Classroom</i><br>
A small electronic classroom will be constructed where new information technology will be tested and made available. We will train faculty, staff and students to use electronic resources.  In addition, portable electronic and audio-visual equipment will b
e made available to classrooms across campus. 
<p>
<i>Expansion of Owlnet</i><br>
Client work areas will be provided for those faculty who wish to use the facilities of the Electronic Studio Center to develop teaching materials. The Reference Room area on the first floor is being converted into a powerful combination of traditional lib
rary and Owlnet computer lab, with print and electronic information resources side by side. We are installing over 40 workstations to give students and faculty additional access to Electronic Studio materials.  Also, the number of CD-ROM workstations will
 be substantially increased in this area.
<p> 
<i>Outreach</i><br>
From the Electronic Studio Center, we will be reaching out to the broader Houston community. This will occur through our new collaborative efforts with HISD within the Rice Lab school and throughout HISD through the Owlink Project funded by Southwestern B
ell Telephone. Owlink will provide high-speed network connections to K-12 schools within HISD. 
<p>
Each of these developments is planned to move Rice University into the future envisioned in Dr. Gillis' inaugural address.  
<p>

<h3><a name="new">What's New in Fondren Library</a></h3>
Kerry Keck,       
Coordinator, Collection Development & Electronic Information,
keckker@rice.edu and Andrea Martin, Asst. Director of Computing Services, andrea@rice.edu
<p>

This special article introduces you to the services offered by Fondren Library. We have highlighted new services and improvements to existing services. You may want to keep this article handy throughout the year as a reference for library information.

<p>
<img src="GIF/video.gif">
<br><b> Individual AV viewing facilities.</b>
<p>
<h4>Audiovisuals</h4>

Fondren Library's collection of videotapes and laser disks (previously housed in CSI in the basement) have been moved to the Reserve area (first floor) and to the service desk in the Brown Fine Arts Library (third floor).
<p>  
Videos on opera or other musical forms, or dealing with the fine arts have been moved to the Brown Fine Arts Library. <a href="http://riceinfo.rice.edu/Fondren/Virtual/libris.html">LIBRIS</a>, the online catalog, indicates where a specific video is housed
.
<p>
Video viewing facilities are available in both areas of Fondren Library. Students may view the reserve collection videos on the balcony level of the Current Periodicals Room. Viewing facilities in the Brown Fine Arts Library are adjacent to the listening 
stations and service desk.
<p>
Many of the videos, such as software training guides, may be checked out to Rice ID holders for one week. Copyright and licensing agreements prohibit us from circulating other titles such as feature films.
<p>
Faculty may arrange for in-class screening of a VHS videocassette, audiovisual equipment set up, and other specific services by calling Audiovisual Services at ext. 3758. Fondren Library room 414 may be reserved for video viewing.
<p> 
Faculty should send requests for audio-visual purchases to their regular library contact.

<h4>Brown Fine Arts Library</h4>

Fondren Library's collections of music, visual arts and architecture resources
are housed in the Alice Pratt Brown Library for Art, Architecture and Music. The Brown Fine Arts Library is self-contained and located on the third floor of Fondren Library. Librarians with subject backgrounds in the fine arts are available to assist  you
.
 
<h4>Business Information Center</h4>

The Business Information Center, or BIC, is located on the first floor of Herring Hall. The BIC collection includes the most current business journals and books, CD-ROM directories of businesses and corporate annual reports. A business librarian is avail-
able to assist Rice faculty, students and staff.

<h4>Carrels</h4>

A limited number of carrels are available for faculty and eligible graduate students only. Graduate students may     pick up an application for a carrel at the         Circulation Desk.

<h4>Circulation</h4>

All new students, faculty and staff need to have a library barcode added to the back of their ID before checking out books or other materials.
<p>
To accomplish this, please stop by the Circulation Desk (first floor). Students
are required to have the fee sticker from the cashier's office on their card. You will be asked to fill out a form to confirm your current address and affiliation or status with the university.

<h4>Computers</h4>

Rice students, faculty and staff may use the computers in Fondren Library. Computers in the Reference Desk area (first floor) are reserved for accessing <a href="tn3270://library.rice.edu/">LIBRIS</a> and computerized literature indexes.  
<p>
New workstations being installed throughout the Fay Bibliography Room and the Reference Room (first floor) will be part of Owlnet. They will be available, therefore, for educational computing use by the Rice community. Upcoming installation of workstation
s will promote the range of scholarly activity taking place in Fondren Library.  Students and faculty will be able to use both print and electronic information resources side by side.
<p>
<img src="GIF/construction.gif">
<br><b> Demolition and construction prepares the first floor for computer workstations.</b>
<p>
In addition, a Macintosh computer lab is available in the basement of Fondren Library. This lab may be scheduled for classroom activity and individual use. Call ext. 2877 for information about the classroom.
<p>
Finally, Rice is experimenting with network access for individual scholars by means of network drops in the Fondren Library.  Network drops are installed throughout the library's seating areas from the basement to the fourth floor. Students and faculty wi
ll be able to connect a laptop computer to the network
drop and so have access to <a href="http://riceinfo.rice.edu/"<b>RiceInfo</b></a>, electronic mail accounts, etc. where it is most convenient for the individual.
<p>
Arrangements for loan of laptops have not been finalized at press time, so please watch for further announcements. 

<h4>Computing Resource Collection (CRC)</h4>

The Computing Resource Collection (CRC), previously housed in the Mudd building, has been relocated to room B40 (basement) of Fondren Library. The CRC videos have been merged with Fondren Library's collection in the Reserve area. CRC's compact discs will 
be available at the Reference Desk.
<p>
The CRC is a collection of books and other materials supporting practical or applied computing. Topics include word processing, spreadsheets, statistical analysis, databases and publication software. The books in this collection circulate for one month.

<h4>Copiers</h4>

Photocopiers are available on all levels of Fondren Library (except the fifth and sixth floors). Each copier will make letter or ledger size copies with full reduction and enlargement capabilites. All copiers operate on coins, bills or copy cards.
<p>

<img src="GIF/copiers.gif">
<br><b> Second floor photocopiers are part of the upgraded service.</b>
<p>

The copy service company has upgraded eight of our older machines this fall and is increasing maintenance service to include routine daily visits, nights and weekends.

<h4>Copy Cards</h4>

<a name="prices">Copy cards</a> for use in Fondren Library's copiers may be purchased at the Circulation Desk (first floor). Cards are available in the following denominations plus a 50 deposit for Rice ID holders:
<p>
50 copies	$ 4.50	9 per copy<br>
150 copies	$10.50	7 per copy<br>
250 copies	$15.00	6 per copy<br>
500 copies	$25.00	5 per copy<br>
<p>
Ledger size copies cost 50% more in each category.
<p>
The copy card system has changed from last year, with a reduction in rates. Holders of the old cards should bring them to the Circulation Desk (first floor) and redeem the old card for a new one.

<h4>Document Delivery</h4>

Rice faculty and administrators may request delivery to their offices of Fondren Library books or photocopies from the journal and microform collections. Delivery of books is free of charge; there is a small
copying/service fee for photocopies.
<p>
If you are interested, please contact Fondren Express at ext. 2869. Fondren Express requires advance authorization for some services, e.g. to check out books in your name.

<h4>Electronic Studio</h4>

The installation of the new computer workstations in the Reference Room and the Fay Bibliography Room is the first step of our Electronic Studio plan. Additional improvements will be underway this fall as contruction takes place on the second floor of Fon
dren Library. (See the article on <a href="#studio">p. three</a> for more information.)

<h4>Food and Drink</h4>

Help us preserve our collections!       Do not bring food or drink into the library.
<p>
<img src="GIF/food.gif">
<br><b> No food or drinks, please!<br>

<p>
<p>
<h4>Government Publications</h4>

Fondren Library is a selective depository for U.S. government and Texas state documents. Government publications are listed in <a href="tn3270://library.rice.edu/">LIBRIS</a>. The Government
Publications department is located in the basement of the library and has several staff members available to assist with these materials.

<h4>Hours</h4>

Returning students and faculty may note that Fondren Library's hours have been expanded. Now we are staying open until 2:00 A.M.  Sunday through Thursday nights as well as opening an hour earlier  on Sundays during the academic semester.  (Extended hours 
are planned for finals.)

<h4>Instruction in Library Use </h4>

Reference librarians are available to assist with any library instruction needs you may encounter. General library instruction is available as well as more specialized instruction tailored to specific tools or classes.
<p>
Subject specialists on the reference staff can be assigned to work with your classes in the library for an hour or more of instruction. For more information you may contact the User Education librarian at the Reference Desk at ext. 5113 or 5119.

<h4>Interlibrary Loan</h4>

What if Fondren Library doesn't own a book or journal? Interlibrary loan (located in the front basement in room B38) can obtain the work for you. Interlibrary loan obtains the material as quickly as possible. There is rarely any charge for this service.
<p>
Interlibrary loan is available to Rice faculty, staff and graduate students.

<h4>LIBRIS</h4>

<a href="tn3270://library.rice.edu/">LIBRIS</a> is the name of Fondren Library's online catalog. LIBRIS includes books, journals, maps, recordings, computer files, government publications, microforms, etc. LIBRIS does not index individual articles in jour
nals. Specialized reference tools provide this type of access.  In addition to the call numbers, LIBRIS provides information on location, holdings and format.
<p>
The previously announced change in Fondren Library's online catalog will not be taking place. Ameritech, parent company to NOTIS Systems, has decided not to pursue development of NOTIS' Horizon library system.
<p>
Fondren Library will be re-examining its automation development needs. New developments will be announced as they occur. 

<h4>Lost and Found</h4>

Personal items found in Fondren Library are kept at the Circulation Desk. Valuable items are turned into the Rice Campus Police Department.

<h4>Microforms</h4>

Materials on microfilm and microfiche, plus equipment for viewing and photocopying these formats, are located in the Government Publications and Microforms area in the basement of Fondren Library. The staff in this area are ready, willing and able to assi
st you in locating materials and using the equipment.
<p>
LIBRIS indicates when a title is in microform and the library's holdings.

<h4>New Book Area</h4>

Recently received books are shelved  for one month in the Current Periodicals Room, first floor.

<h4>Online literature searching</h4>

Computerized searches of the journal literature are available to Rice students, faculty and staff in a variety of ways.
<p>  
Research on many subjects may be achieved quickly using the CD-ROMs available from the Reference Desk (e.g. <i>Science Citation Index</i>), the Brown Fine Arts Library (e.g. <i>ARTbibliographies Modern</i>) or Government Publications (e.g. <i>Congressiona
l Masterfile</i>). Some literature indexes, such as <a href="gopher://riceinfo.rice.edu:1101/11/CurrentContents"><i>Current Contents</i></a> or <a href="gopher://riceinfo.rice.edu:1101/11/Compendex"><i>Compendex</i></a>, are accessible all over campus thr
ough the <a href="http://riceinfo.rice.edu/RiceInfo/"><b>RiceInfo</b></a> system.
<p>
Other types of literature searches, however, are available only by appointment with a librarian. These databases are expensive, complex to use and/or have access restrictions (e.g. <i>Chemical Abstracts</i>). Please call ext. 5113 or 5119 for information 
or to make an appointment for assistance with a literature search.
<p>
Certain areas of subject literature are indexed by printed indexes only.  Please stop by the Reference Desk for assistance.

<h4>Oversize Books</h4>

All oversize books have been moved to the second floor balcony.

<h4>Periodicals</h4>

Magazines and journals are listed in <a href="tn3270://library.rice.edu/">LIBRIS</a>.  Recent issues are in the Current Periodicals Room (first floor) and back issues are bound and shelved in the stacks or are in microfilm. Periodicals are shelved in call
 number order.

<h4>Reference</h4>

Staff are available to assist you with general questions and research
assistance. The Reference Desk opens at 8:30 A.M. weekdays and somewhat later on the weekends. The staff members are available until 11:00 P.M. Sunday through Thursday.
<p>
Please call ext. 5113 or ext. 5119, or send electronic mail to refrence@ricevm1.
rice.edu for reference assistance.

<h4>Reserve</h4>

Assigned readings established for many Rice courses may be found at the Reserve Desk, which is located next to the Circulation Desk (first floor). Reserve staff maintain printed listings of readings by course number and faculty name. The circulation perio
d for reserve materials is established by the course instructor.
<p>
Fondren Library, in cooperation with several instructors, will provide access to course reserves in electronic form. The reserve materials will be scanned and made accessible to students enrolled in the experimental courses via workstations all over campu
s. 
<p>

<h4>Restrooms</h4>

Check the posted floor plans for exact locations of restrooms, which are located  on every floor. Wheelchair accessible restrooms are on the first
floor.

<h4>RiceInfo</h4>

The campus wide information system is available from any networked computer on campus. Issuing the command "riceinfo" or in some cases "gopher" when connected to your mainframe or Owlnet account will provide you with a menu of information resources about 
Rice, Houston and the world. <a href="http://riceinfo.rice.edu/RiceInfo/"><b>RiceInfo</b></a> offers access to many literature indexes, LIBRIS, and request forms for library services. 

<h4>Special Services</h4>

Assistance for library users with disabilities is available. Ask at the Reference Desk or other service point.

<h4>Smoking</h4>

Fondren Library is a smoke-free building.
