By the end of August 2001, about thirty-seven Hoover Library staff members were transferred operationally and administratively to the University Libraries, and distributed to the appropriate Technical Services units in Meyer Library, to various public services units, and to the newly established Area Studies Resources Group. This Group was and is chaired by Paul Thomas, the erstwhile operational chief of the Hoover Library. The integration of the staff members and their responsibilities into the University Libraries has proceeded very well indeed. They are now ensconced in their new quarters, working effectively with their new colleagues and, in general, making real the plans begun so many years ago.

After a delay caused by the presence of insects in the East Asia collection discovered in Spring 2002, the East Asia Library staff and reference collection moved in August and September of 2002 to the fourth floor of Meyer Library. The East Asia collection is relocated almost in its entirety to the mezzanine stack area in the Meyer Library lower level. The remaining portion of the East Asia collection has been moved to the Stanford Auxiliary Library. While the fittings and furnishings of the new location of the East Asia Library are not quite yet in their finished state, in the main this relocation has been completed successfully. It is our hope and intent that the present location, high in Meyer Library, will be a temporary one, measured in years, but not decades. As the renovation, rehabilitation, and upgrades improving seismic resistance of the building occur in the coming years, we will endeavor to place the East Asia staff and public spaces in closer proximity to the relevant collections.

Assunta Pisani, Catherine Tierney, Paul Thomas, and many staff members are due profound thanks for their work on this realignment dating back to before the provostial approval was signaled. Assunta and, before her, Anthony Angiletta, worked closely with Charles Palm, now retired chief of the Hoover Library and Archive, to define a workable proposal. Thanks are due as well to John Raisian, Director of the Hoover Institution, for his interventions at crucial moments during this entire evolution.

The next events in the realignment of the Hoover Library are the selection and transfer of books from the Hoover Tower to the University Libraries. Then will come the final transfer of a few staff members from the Hoover, those remaining behind to provide access to the books not yet moved. We expect all aspects of the realignment to be complete by mid-2004.

Stanford's many libraries add at least 150,000 new volumes annually, despite the vast increase in digital information resources offered and used through the array of libraries at Stanford. The General Use Permit, or GUP, an agreement reached after years of negotiation with Santa Clara County, inhibits the university in the amount of new floor space it may build on campus. Recognizing the ambitions of Stanford's appropriately aggressive faculty in their research programs and in the need for wholly new sorts of laboratories and other spaces to support multi-disciplinary approaches, the university administration wisely decided to move the site for all future modules of the Stanford Auxiliary Library off campus, thus saving the space they might have occupied on campus for teaching, learning, and research activities on the part of students and faculty. Financing the next module of SAL is a significant pressure upon the university. In order to assure maximum benefit from the new building, as well as to keep the costs of construction and operation as low as possible, we surveyed the country for buildings with similar functions and then picked the best, most advanced characteristics identified through that survey for inclusion in our plan. Another pressure on us is that of our demanding clientele: Stanford faculty and students are voracious consumers of information. They want the libraries' collections to grow, to stay up-to-date with current research and events, and they want the resources of the libraries to be as conveniently available as possible. So, despite the remote location finally chosen for SAL3 we are programming an aggressive delivery schedule to and from campus, along with facilities to accommodate those readers who may visit it to consult extensive amounts of material there as well as a digital scanning (electronic delivery) service in this initial module.

Given these four pressures-continuing growth of the collections, the GUP restrictions, costs now and in the future, and demand for collections and services from faculty and students-we have begun building SAL3 on a six-acre site in Livermore, California, about fifty road miles from Stanford. The 35,000 square foot building will feature high-density storage, advanced climate control to forestall the ravages of time on paper, sophisticated security provisions, good materiel handling facilities, and reasonable cost. It should be finished and ready for us to occupy in the autumn quarter of 2003. At that time, we will move non-browsable items to it from a variety of temporary storage locations on and off campus. Our principle is to reserve the two on-campus modules of SAL, located on Pampas Lane, mainly for classified collections directly accessible, in principle, to students and faculty. In response to the issues of finance and cost and looking to the future, we have acquired enough property for SAL3 to add three additional modules to it, thus potentially accommodating another forty-five years of growth of the university's library collections at current rates and in the current format mix.

A team led by Catherine Tierney has been at work on the program for the building and preparing the organization to operate it. Assunta Pisani and the managers in the Library Collections and Services division have been working with Larry Dahl, our indefatigable collection storage expert, to plan for the deployment of the collections across the many library locations. Don Intersimone, SUL /AIR's manager of facilities and space planning, has been working with the excellent people assigned to this project from Stanford's Capital Planning and Management group.

Last winter, HighWire launched a new view of its offerings through what is now popularly known as a portal, featuring ready access to numerous features for readers. Designed with the attentive involvement of an advisory committee of publishers and scholars, the portal helps readers to create alerts, customized views of their favorite HighWire journals paired with advanced searching functions, and to browse articles and journals with maximum speed and efficiency. In addition, it features a remarkable new browsing mechanism: a graphical topic map permitting very easy navigation of about 22,000 topics and then identification of the articles related to any one of those topics.

As part of this new view of the HighWire e-journal environment, the entire contents of Medline, over twelve million article abstracts from about 4,500 indexed journals, has been integrated so that now a user can search those simultaneously with the 340 plus high impact scientific and medical journals served by HighWire. As I write this, some of HighWire's most prolific publishers participate in our "Free Back Issues" program, which provides free access to the world for a total of over 440,000 full-text articles, more than any other collection in the general and life sciences.

HighWire's future features more of the same. Numerous publishers have contracted with HighWire for many more journals. And we are working to find funding for digitizing the backsets of all the journals associated with HighWire, because we have learned that articles in backsets accessible over the Internet are consulted between five and ten times more frequently than articles in the printed backset.

LOCKSS

The LOCKSS ("Lots Of Copies Keep Stuff Safe") project has evolved in the last few years from a brilliant hunch, through a large-scale "beta" test among fifty-six libraries around the world, to an almost operational global solution for distributed archiving of electronic journals. The intent of the project is to make it feasible and affordable for libraries to preserve access to the e-journals to which they subscribe. This is a vital and urgent issue for libraries, and one that has defied solution, despite much funding and attention. The LOCKSS approach is to enable each participating library to build and retain local digital copies of e-journals that are continuously compared with (and where needed, corrected using) other libraries' copies, assuring no loss or corruption of the content-with the publishers' blessing, but not within their control. The software is distributed at no charge to any library (as "Open Source" software). Though the idea is rather simple, the details are complicated, fascinating, and fully described on the project website, http://lockss. stanford.edu.

In the summer of 2002, the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation and the National Science Foundation both awarded new grants totaling almost $3 million for further development of this project. Both organizations had funded previous phases of the LOCKSS program, as have the Stanford University Libraries and Sun Microsystems Laboratories. We are immensely grateful to our supporters for recognizing the potential of LOCKSS to serve libraries and publishers as part or all of a comprehensive digital archive methodology. We are enormously proud of the LOCKSS team not only for its creativity, but as well for its responsiveness to publishers and librarians alike.

The challenge now, besides refining the software, is to build a self-sustaining and self-funded community, loosely coordinated from Stanford, to further development and use of this practical and promising tool for the digital age.

We also decided to create an Information Center with a number of public service functions in addition to providing basic reference functions. Once the Bing Wing and the renovations to the first floor of Green Library East were complete, we assembled the components of the Information Center and subsequently, under the leadership of Kathy Kerns, the Information Center has blossomed. In addition to the basic reference function and oversight of the reference collection, the Information Center provides bibliographic instruction (including the development of the on-line teaching module for the Program in Writing and Rhetoric, a precursor to similar modules for other curricular programs), and coordinates offerings in InterLibrary Services, Media and Microtexts, and Current Periodicals.

The staff of the Information Center includes full-time librarians, a full time technology specialist, retired librarians volunteering for service, a terrific group of library specialists, and occasional interns from the library school at San Jose State University. In addition to providing direct responses to queries and demands for services, the staff members working at the various desks of the Information Center refer queries to subject specialists in the respective resource groups, Academic Computing, and even to the Help Desk of the Information Technology Services and Systems division of the university. The Center's web site (http://www-sul.stanford.edu/depts/green/IC.html) provides instant information on a number of key questions most often asked, such as how does one find a book in the Green stacks, what are the computer resources at Green, what document delivery services are available, how does the new print accounting system work, what are SUNet IDs and how does one get them, and what is the state of wireless access to Internet resources.

We also bade a fond farewell to a small number of professional staff who took retirement during the period covered by this report.

Richard Fitchen began service in SUL /AIR in 1989 as Social & Behavioral Sciences Bibliographer. He retired in 2000. Dick's tenure at Stanford was marked by excellent service to faculty and students in several academic departments including economics, psychology, sociology, and communication. He served with distinction as head of the General Reference service from 1993-1999. Dick led several important projects, including, most notably, a review of the library collections at the Food Research Institute prior to the elimination of that program in 1995, and integration of the General Reference
service within the new Green Library Information Center in 1999.

Towards the end of her career at Stanford, Janice McLouth served as one of the two most senior catalogers in the Government Documents unit. With her experience and thorough knowledge of the Anglo-American Cataloging Rules she often served as a resource for other cataloging staff. Janice had an expert knowledge of various governments and government agencies, as well as their corporate structures, which was essential for creating high quality bibliographic records and, therefore, to providing effective access to local, federal, and international documents. In the best tradition of the professional librarian, Janice maintained a high regard for public service at all times. We are sorry to report that not long after her retirement in June 2001, Janice passed on, having battled cancer for some time.

Appointed as Curator for Romance Languages and Humanities in 1979, Mary Jane Parrine's responsibilities focused primarily on French and Italian studies, though she also worked with the departments of Philosophy, Classics, and Religious Studies. A lecturer

in the department of French and Italian since 1981, her teaching was combined with library and university service, notably in major exhibitions to showcase significant acquisitions in her fields: on Dante and on the Gustave Gimon Collection of French Political Economy, both of which involved publications and related conferences. Dr. Parrine was consistently active within the local and national library communities, and her professional activities and scholarship always complemented her university service, which was distinguished. She was among a very small cadre of specialists at Stanford and in her domain across the U.S. to have had such a history of success in building collections and, through that work, supporting research in the humanities by faculty and students. In recognition of her splendid work for Stanford, she was granted emerita status upon retirement in August 2001.

Barbara Sawka, William R. Moran Curator for Recorded Sound and head of the Stanford Music Library, started her career at Stanford in 1977 as head of the Stanford Archive of Recorded Sound. Before coming to Stanford, Barbara served as assistant to the curator of the Yale Collection of Historical Recordings, following graduate work in Comparative Literature at Yale and an undergraduate degree in French from Stanford.

In 1988, she was named the William R. Moran Curator for Recorded Sound and in 1990 added the administrative leadership of the Stanford Music Library to her responsibilities. Barbara's lasting contribution to the Archive is its unique collection, including such acquisitions as the Monterey Jazz Festival archive, the San Francisco Traditional Jazz Foundation Collection, the Mildred and Richard Crooks Collection, the Jascha Heifetz Collection, and the Peter Morse Collection. She is widely known in the local and national archival and library worlds, having presented papers and workshops on many topics and represented Stanford for years in the Associated Audio Archives consortium. Barbara was active and a leader in the Association for Recorded Sound Collections, the Music Library Association, and the National Recording Preservation Board. For her impressive work at Stanford, Barbara was granted emerita status upon her retirement in October 2001.

The following new professional staff members were welcomed to the Stanford

University Libraries during this period: Cathy Aster, Surajit Bose, Chris Bourg, Allan Chen, Karen Clay, Andra Darlington, John Eilts, Claudia Engel, Ronnie Fields, Hannah Frost, David Futey, Alicia Gamez, Rose Harrington, Gary Harris, Dalene Hawthorne, Kimberly Hayworth, Nancy Hoebelheinrich, Kathy Hudson, Haekyung Jeon-Slaughter, Matthew Jockers, Vanessa Kam, Annette Keogh, Charles Kerns, Soobum Kim, Sindy Lee, Sue Li, Jackie Mai, Julie Mai, Cheryl McGrath, Michael Olson, Sean Quimby, Robert Rohrbacher, Karen Rondestvedt, Gerry Smith, Stu Snydman, Sarah Sussman, and Chris Willrich. From the Hoover Institution we welcomed Muhammad Al-Faruque, Linh Chang, Karen Fung, Margaret Hughes, Naomi Kotake, Mark Tam, Paul Thomas, and Julia Tung. With Media Solutions came Judith Blankman, Diane Carr, Alan Hativa, Wynn Hausser, Matthew Jedynak, Gregory Kajfez, Aixen Lin, Scott McComas, and Christopher Spenner.
The following internal appointments and promotions were made during 2000-2002: Jim Kent, coordinator, Media-Microtext Services; Kathy Kerns, head, Information Center; Richard Koprowski, acting head, ARS; Nancy Lorimer, acting head, Music Library, 2002-2003; Bill McPheron, head, Humanities Resource Group; Stella Ota, head, Physics Library; Jerry Persons, chief information architect; Malgorzata Schaefer, coordinator, Instructional Services; Mimi Tashiro, acting head, Music Library, 2001-2002.

I note with deep sadness the passing of Gregor Peterson, AB '54, MBA '59, close personal friend as well as friend to the Libraries and, along with Dion Peterson, important donor to the reconstruction of the Bing Wing as well as to a number of lesser SUL /AIR projects. Greg was a gentleman printer and quite supportive of several fine press projects we undertook over the years. He and Dion took a direct and personal interest in the progress of the reconstruction as well as in many fine points in the interior design and furnishing of the Bing Wing. We were proud to name the Gregor G. and Dion Peterson Exhibit Gallery in honor of their participation in the reconstruction. Greg was taken from us quite suddenly, but his memory and the exhibit gallery bearing his name live along with us.

Also remembered with great fondness is George Daniel Jagels, AB '29, a longtime, devoted friend of the Stanford University Libraries. Together with his wife Margaret Foley Jagels, he endowed the George and Margaret Jagels Book Fund in 1980, and was generous in his support of library programs over the succeeding years, including the restoration of the Bing Wing. George was an avid supporter of higher education and scientific research, and served on the Claremont Graduate University Board of Trustees and as president of the College Student Personnel Institute. He was an active member of Caltech Associates, a Huntington Library Overseer, and helped found the Leakey Foundation. Joe Greenberg, the great linguist who died in May 2001, was known to many library staff. His long-time identification with the old Reference Room in Green Library, and more recently the Information Center, has been remarked upon in different articles, videos, and interviews. The following is from his obituary by Professor Croft:³

Yet despite the controversial positions he took from the beginning of his career to the end, and the stature he gained in the field, Joe Greenberg was one of the most mild-mannered and self-effacing scholars imaginable. He was the scholar's scholar. He office was Green Library at Stanford, where he worked all day, six days a week (down to five in his last decade), always reading and making notes in pencil in his famous notebooks. The library staff one day surprised him by installing a brass plaque on the oak reading table where he worked, inscribed "The Joseph H. Greenberg Research Table."

His erudition was awesome but he wore it lightly. He could recall obscure facts about languages anywhere in the world (though in later years he said, 'Every time I learn the name of a new student, a fact about Nilo-Saharan flies out of my head'). Only a few years ago he lamented to me that when he read a grammar, he no longer remembered everything. He gave up trying to learn Japanese in his sixties, saying he was too old to learn a difficult language and writing system; but at eighty-five he told me he could read most of the Japanese entries in an Ainu-Japanese dictionary he used. When he reviewed his African notebooks at the end of life, over four decades after he wrote them, he was disappointed that he couldn't remember the specific word forms.

While Joe's papers have been conferred to university archives, copies of some of his famous notebooks are in Green Library Stack:Greenberg, Joseph Harold, 1915- [Regional linguistic notebooks, Amerindian]. Call number: P203 .G7 F.

Michael L. Katzev died in September, 2001 at his home in Southport, Maine. Survivors include his wife, Susan; one brother, Richard Katzev and his wife Aphra Reinelt Katzev of Portland, Oregon. Michael graduated Phi Beta Kappa in economics at Stanford in 1961, then went on to earn a master's degree in art history at UC Berkeley in 1963. Following a year each at the American School of Classical Studies in Athens and at Columbia University, he entered the Ph.D. program at the University of Pennsylvania in 1965. As an archaeologist he led the team that raised one of the oldest seagoing cargo vessels ever discovered, a twenty-three hundred-year-old ship found off the town of Kyrenia on the north coast of Cyprus in 1967. With his brother Richard, Michael endowed the Shirley P. Katzev Book Fund for the purchase of books in the disciplines of art, history, and literature. In this way his memory will be preserved in perpetuity as a true friend of the libraries.

A staff member, Jim Cruse died peacefully in July, 2001, after a long battle with cancer. He was survived by a wide circle of loving friends who will remember his sense of humor, his humanity, and his devotion to his work. Jim began his library career in Reference and ILL at Indiana University; he spent a number of years at the University of Michigan in ILL and Access Services before becoming assistant head of Access Services at Stanford in April 1989. He bridged technology changes from manual circulation, to batch, and then into the online environment. Jim's aptitude for technology positioned him to be a major player in SUL /AIR's transition to online circulation, both within Access Services and, starting in 1991, in the Library Systems Department. As a programmer, Jim's contributions expanded beyond circulation support to include important work on every facet of Unicorn, on bibliographic databases, and on any task that needed his special talents and intuition. SUL will greatly miss Jim and his commitment to his colleagues and his work.
