In the sports world, the phrase “behind the numbers” promises a more detailed,

nuanced examination that gives basic statistics more meaning. For example, a quarter-

back who goes twenty-five for thirty-two has had a good game; he’s completed more

than seventy-eight percent of his passes.

But how many of those passes were for touchdowns? How many were desperation

tosses on fourth down when the team was behind? And – though it’s not so much

behind the numbers as the first number most sports fans look at – did the team win?

Each year in the UCLA Library’s progress report, we present a page of statistics that

report on standard figures such as number of volumes, number of visitors, size of

staff, and allocations of income and expenditures. Comparisons across years or with

other academic libraries may offer some insight into what these figures mean, but it

may be even more useful to look behind the numbers, at the individual stories or

departmental accomplishments that comprise them.

Behind the millions of UCLA students, faculty, and staff, researchers from other universities and countries,

and members of the general public who visit the campus libraries each year in person or online are individual

reasons. An undergraduate wants to borrow a laptop to use in class. A graduate student is finishing his thesis

and wants to make sure it meets campus requirements. A faculty member is working with an archival collec-

tion. A member of the public heard about a memorable exhibit.

Equally diverse reasons lie behind the numbers who used the Library’s reference and instructional services.

An undergraduate needs help starting on a research paper. A graduate student is publishing her first article in

an academic journal and wants to know if she should sign or modify the author agreement. A faculty member

asks a librarian to teach a class session on useful resources in the course’s subject area. A member of the public

wants to know if access to the libraries is restricted and whether he can use library materials.

Two invisible but essential threads connect the individual stories with the statistics summarizing UCLA Library

accomplishments: staff and funding. Highly trained, dedicated staff make possible everything the Library does

and offers, from selecting items to add to collections and developing technological platforms that seamlessly

deliver online services to stamping due dates in books that users check out at circulation desks. Whether you

see a staff person or not, you can rest assured that one is or was there: repairing a damaged book, scanning a

manuscript, answering a quick question, or providing a detailed research consultation.

And without funding, there would be no staff, no books, no services, no facilities. The statistics show where

we get our funding and how we spend it, but they fail to capture how important every single dollar of that

funding is, regardless of its source.

The reality “behind the numbers” – our dedicated staff and visionary donors – enables the UCLA Library to

support the instructional, research, and public service mission of this great university and to make sure UCLA

students, faculty, and staff come out on top regardless of the assignments, subjects, or challenges they face.

On behalf of all of our users, I thank you.

In the Land of the Headhunters

UCLA music librarian David Gilbert was one of hundreds of people who

came to Performing Arts Special Collections during the 2007/08 fiscal year

with unique projects in mind. Created from the performing arts materials

formerly housed in the separate Arts Library Special Collections and Music

Library Special Collections, its holdings encompass more than four hundred

collections of historical records and personal papers in film, television,

theater, and music.

Gilbert was one member of a multidisciplinary team created to restore

famed photographer Edward Curtis’s (1868-1952) 1914 silent film In the Land

of the Headhunters, the first feature-length film to exclusively star indigenous

North Americans. A romantic melodrama set before the arrival of Europeans,

the film features love, war, and ritual among the Kwakwaka’wakw (Kwakiutl)

of British Columbia, who performed in Curtis’s scripted version of their past.

The NumbersCan’t Begin toTell the Story

Behind the nearly 8.4 million volumes, morethan fifty thousand serial titles, and some 230,000electronic resources in UCLA Library collectionsstand more meaningful figures: the virtually countlessstudents, faculty, staff, scholars, researchers, andmembers of the public who pulled a book off a shelf,read an article, consulted an online encyclopedia,looked at an archival document.

Major Acquisitions 2007-08

At its December 1914 premiere at the Casino Theater in New York City, the

film was accompanied by an orchestral score composed by John J. Braham,

best known for his work with Gilbert and Sullivan. One of the earliest original

scores for a silent film, Braham’s music was thought to be lost, until University

of British Columbia postdoctoral fellow Aaron Glass made a discovery in the

Edward S. Curtis Collection at the Getty Research Institute while d0ing research

for his dissertation. What he found consisted of a manuscript draft score and

instrumental parts made by a copyist; the manuscript was an early version of

the music, while the parts were used by the orchestra for the premiere.

Glass approached Gilbert to restore the score so it could be performed again.

Since the complete score in the Getty’s collection was only a draft, Gilbert

instead used the instrumental parts as the basis for his restoration.

Markings on the parts proved invaluable. During rehearsals the musicians had

scratched out sections of their parts and noted where sections were altered and

shortened as they worked to fit the music to the film. They also occasionally

wrote in cues, like “man climbs hill,” “fire dance,” or “three bears in boat.”

Prior to its restoration by the UCLA Film and Television Archive, the film no

longer existed in a complete form, so these cues also provided film preser-

vationist Jere Guldin with clues to its continuity.

A little-known treasure in Performing Arts Special Collections helped Gilbert

with the next step of the reconstruction, which was to match the music to the

the UCLA Library had one of the few copies in existence of the score Joseph

Carl Breil wrote for for D. W. Griffith’s 1915 silent film The Birth of a Nation. Using

that as a reference, he worked with a work print of the restored film to match

Braham’s music to In the Land of the Headhunters and to add tempos, repeats, and

even silences to the score.

The restored film and score were given their world premiere on June 5, 2008,

with the score performed live by the UCLA Philharmonia. The film is now on a

national tour; further information on the tour and the entire restoration project

is available on the Web site at <http://www.curtisfilm.rutgers.edu>.

De situ orbis terrarium

Just as David Gilbert walked through the UCLA Library’s physical doors to com-

plete a project that brought Library resources and expertise to a broader audience

in Los Angeles and beyond, Paul Dover, assistant professor of history at Kennesaw

State University, walked through the Library’s virtual doors to use its resources

for his project.

Since 2002 the James and Sylvia Thayer Short-Term Research Fellowships have

supported the use of special collections materials by visiting scholars and UCLA

graduate students. And in 2008 Dover was the first recipient of a “virtual” fellow-

ship: funding that would have been awarded to him to travel to UCLA to view a

rare book in person was instead used to digitize the book so that he could access

it remotely.

The text Dover was interested in, De situ orbis terrarium de singulis mirabilibus quae

in mundo habentur... , is an important geographical compendium by the third- or

fourth-century Latin grammarian and historian Caius Julius Solinus, based largely

on writings by Pliny the Elder. Housed in the Charles E. Young Research Library

Department of Special Collections, this copy was printed in 1512 in Pesaro, Italy,

by Gershom Soncino, a Jewish printer who was forced by religious persecution to

lead an itinerant existence.

Dover wanted to examine the volume for a book chapter he is contributing to

Encyclopedism before the Enlightenment, edited by Jason Koenig and scheduled to be

published by Cambridge University Press.

He was particularly interested in the extensive marginalia this copy contains,

which are believed to have been made by Camilli Gradi (1531-80), who signed

his name and the amount he paid for the book at the end.

It can often be challenging to create a digital image of a book leaf in sufficient

detail for marginal notes, which are frequently written in very small letters and

in ink that has faded, to be legible. Yet the Library was able to provide both

extremely high-resolution scans and a user-friendly interface that makes it possi-

ble to page through the volume, greatly enlarge small sections of pages, and easily

shift from one section to another.

Now that the volume has been digitized, this single virtual fellowship will have

broader applications, as scholars learn of its availability online and access it for

their own research. The supporting technology has already proven useful in other

applications, including to view documents in the Orsini Family Papers, an archive

of one of the most powerful Italian families during the Renaissance.

Though these two projects are small in number – just two users, only a few

items – their significance is enormous. As In the Land of the Headhunters is seen by

audiences and the story of its unique rediscovery and restoration is discovered

by film and music historians and scholars, and as the digitized text of a sixteenth-

century “encyclopedia” is consulted virtually by scholars and its marginalia

explored in academic publications, both these resources and their users will have

an impact vastly larger than a simple entry on a statistics page can ever tell.

A modest 5.4 percent of the UCLA Library’s annual operatingbudget comes from gifts and endowments. Yet the significanceof the acquisitions it funds belie its size, as illustrated by thepurchases made possible by contributions from UCLA LibraryAssociates and other donors to the UniversityLibrarian Discretionary Fund.

The Arts Library was able to purchase two com-prehensive catalogues raisonnés: Kazimir Malewicz:le peintre absolu (Thalia, 2006; pictured below) andPissarro: Critical Catalogue of Painting (WildensteinInstitute/Skira, 2005). Theselavishly illustrated publicationsare essential to students andfaculty in art and art history.

A core reference resource inboth drama and cultural studies,Modern Drama: Critical Concepts(Routledge, 2008) contains fourthematic volumes of essays onthe historical emergence andcontinuing impact of moderndrama on critical thought.

Not surprisingly, not all Arts Library acquisitions are print. Theeleven-DVD-set Point of View: An Anthology of the Moving Image (NewMuseum of Contemporary Art, 2003) captures pieces by someof the most important contemporary artists currently workingin video, film, or digital imagery.

With constant changes and discoveries in the areas the Louise M.Darling Biomedical Library covers, the library chose to devotediscretionary funds to items that support new facilities and

programs in dentistry, nursing, and stem cell and regenerativemedicine. In History and Special Collections for the Sciences,discretionary funds supported the purchase of two major worksin the physical sciences. Franz Wilhelm Junghuhn’s monumental,

semi-autobiographicalTopographische und naturwis-senschaftliche Reisen durchJava (1845) records hisstill unsurpassed des-cription of Java’s f loraand volcanoes. Matériauxpour l’étude des glaciers(1864-72) by DanielDollfuss-Ausset contains

discussions of geological and meteorological findings in thehigher Alps (illustration above). The library also completed itsset of Karl Friedrich Martius’s important work Flora brasiliensis(1840-1906), still used as the principal reference work forBrasilian f lora.

With discretionary funds, the College Library chose encyclope-dias and reference resources on popular culture topics includingcars and motorcycles, dance, extreme sports, fashion, human-pet/animal relationships, media, music, and youth. These areasare regular research topics for the basic undergraduate Englishcomposition course, in which instructors encourage students toresearch and write about topics of personal interest in order tomotivate them and help them to sustain their interest.

The Eugene and Maxine Rosenfeld Management Library acquiredrecently published books on business and university partner-ships, clean technology, corporate social responsibility, micro-finance, nonprofit management, and social entrepreneurship.

Performing Arts Special Collections used discretionary fundsto purchase two scores at the request of musicology faculty andmusic students. Collection des trios pour deux violins et basse, et pourviolon, alto et basses (1824) by Luigi Boccherini (1743-1805) andCollection de compositions célèbres arranges pour piano aquatre mains par J.

The Science and Engineering Library acquireda number of major reference resources withdisretionary funds. Encyclopedia of Microfluidics andNanofluidics and Superconductivity (both Springer,2008) will support researchers in nanotechnology,a highly interdisciplinary field that has applica-tions throughout the sciences.

To support biomedical engineering, the newestdepartment in the School of Engineering andApplied Sciences, the library purchased theEncyclopedia of Neuroscience (Springer, 2008); Glyoscience: Chemistryand Chemical Biology (Springer, 2008), about glyostructures, whichplay roles in various organisms and systems in bioengineering,biology, medicine, physiology, and technology; and The Senses:A Comprehensive Reference (Elsevier, 2008).

To support computer science, the library purchased ComputerScience: End-user Computing: Concepts, Methodologies, Tools, and Appli-cations (Blackwell, 2007); and the Wiley Encyclopedia Of ComputerScience And Engineering (Wiley, 2008).

Discretionary support funded the purchase of three artists’ booksby the Charles E. Young Research Library Department of SpecialCollections. Pierrot Lunaire (Bridge Press, 2007) is Brian Cohen’svisual interpretation of the cycle of twenty-one poems by Bel-gian Symbolist poet Albert Giraud that was later composed intoa song cycle by Arnold Schoenberg. Housed in a clamshell box

made of sheet aluminum, it was published in anedition of twenty-one.

One of Carol Schwartzott’s latest projects is TheRubáiyát of Omar Khayyám (Lilliput Press, 2007;pictured left), translated by Edward FitzGerald.Printed in an edition of twenty-five, the book isrichly illustrated with architectural details ren-dered in silver and gold leaf, pencil, and laser-cutpatterns on clear vellum.

At first glance, Johanna Rogers’s book Secrets(Johanna Rogers Press, 2005) appears to be blank.However, when its pages are exposed to the blacklight included in its container, text appears thatcontains revelations from friends and strangers inresponse to the artist’s request for their secrets.

Also purchased with support from the university librarian’sdiscretionary fund, the Bernard Rosenthal Collection of ItalianManuscripts consists of 195 documents of mostly northernItalian origin, chief ly from the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries.The documents constitute a record of the lives of individuals,including commercial transactions, legal disputes, real estatedeals, testamentary arrangements, and settlements of lawsuits,from major cities including Venice and Vicenza as well assmaller municipalities.

Intellectual Property in the Digital Age

One story that no UCLA Library statistics can tell is about the untoldnumbers who have been helped by an scholarly article published bya UCLA researcher. When parents struggling with a child’s difficultdiagnosis in another part of the country find such an article, whichmay give them hope for a new treatment option, that doesn’t show

up in any of the figures the Library is able to track.

Nonetheless, ensuring broad access to research articlesis an essential motivation behind the Library’s ScholarlyCommunication Program, the goal of which is to helpUCLA scholars make their work more visible and acces-sible. To accomplish this, the program’s managers offerfaculty, staff, and students a variety of services that helpthem manage their rights as authors, navigate the com-plex issues involved in using copyrighted materials inresearch and instruction, and utilize open-access initia-tives that bring their work to wider audiences at nocost to readers.

During the 2007/08 fiscal year, the committee managingthe program expanded its focus to become vocally sup-portive of broad public access to scholarly information.A particular case in point is the National Institutes’ ofHealth (NIH) public access policy.

Part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Ser-vices, the NIH issues grants totaling some $28 billionfor medical research annually, funded by federal taxdollars. Recognizing that taxpayers should have accessto the research they fund, it recently instituted a publicaccess policy that mandates free public access to papersresulting from NIH-funded research within twelvemonths of their publication in a scholarly journal.

Two points make this policy important to the UCLALibrary. One, this campus and its researchers are con-sistently among the largest recipients of NIH grants.Two, some eight-seven percent of the Library’s budgetcomes from state funds – i.e., California tax dollars.Recognizing that California taxpayers are paying twicefor this research – first, through federal taxes thatsupport the NIH, and second, through state taxes thatsupport Library acquisitions – the Library decided toactively support the NIH public access policy in twoways: by assisting researchers with compliance and bypublicly advocating its endorsement.

The NIH had initially made compliance with the policyoptional; when it became mandatory on April 7, 2008,it was attacked by publishers who feared loss of income.Two public hearings were held, at which the NIH gaveopportunities to all sides to air their concerns andthen considered changes to the policy.

Recognizing the interrelationships that supportresearchers across campus, the Library contacted theOffice of the Vice Chancellor for Research to coor-dinate joint statements for consideration at bothhearings. Issued on behalf of Robert Peccei, vice chan-cellor for research; Kathryn Atchison, vice provostof intellectual property and industrial relations; andUniversity Librarian Gary Strong, the content of thesestatements has been consistent.

“As one of the nation’s leading public research univer-sities, UCLA takes very seriously its responsibility toserve the people of Southern California, the U.S., andthe world through its mission of education, research,and service. An integral part of that mission is thedissemination of scholarly information as broadlyand freely as possible, which is essential to furtheringscientific discoveries, creating innovative solutions topressing problems, and improving the lives and well-being of individuals and of society.... We support theNIH Public Access Policy as a very strong step takentoward ensuring that the results of publicly fundedresearch are widely disseminated and available in apermanent, stable archive....”

During 2007/08 the managers of the Scholarly Commu-nication Program conducted workshops for faculty andgraduate students and provided individual assistance inperson, by phone, and via email. But though they are farmore easily quantified, none of these actions had morepotential to positively impact “the lives and well-beingof individuals and of society” than its efforts on behalfof the NIH public access policy.


Preserving Copyright, Broadening Access

Four Hidden CollectionsFour Hidden Collections


Four Hidden CollectionsRevealed

Though the number of volumes the UCLA Library owns can be calculated,the countless manuscript pages, photographs, objects, and ephemeral itemsin its special collections constitute a practically unlimited treasure waitingto be discovered. A spinoff of the successful Center for Primary Researchand Training created by the Charles E. Young Research Library Departmentof Special Collections was launched during the 2007/08 fiscal year.

Funded with a generous grant from the Andrew W.Mellon Foundation, the Center for Primary Researchand Training Plus integrates Performing Arts SpecialCollections more fully into UCLA’s teaching andresearch mission. The key difference between it andits counterpart is that students are employed with thisnew program for an entire academic year, which theyspend working with large, detailed collections.

The center provides a substantive educational experi-ence for graduate students by training them in archivalmethods, enabling them to work with primary-sourcematerial in their areas of interest, and compensatingthem at a rate competitive with similar on-campusemployment options such as teaching. The finding aidsthey create for the collections are published online,which enables researchers at UCLA and beyond to moreeasily access the collections’ contents.

In its first year, the center hired three students. ErinFroschle, a master’s student in moving image archivesstudies, processed the Dan Curtis Productions Records.Yuen-Jean (Jeanie) Mao, a doctoral candidate in criticalstudies in the theater department, processed the EastWest Players Records. And Tim Wilson, a master’s stu-dent in moving image archives studies, processed theRKO Studios Records.

The three students, along with center coordinatorKathleene Konkle, showcased their finds as part of

a Spring 2008 exhibit. Froschle chose items frommemorable television productions by Curtis and hiscompany, including fan letters to Dark Shadows, promo-tional stills from Trilogy of Terror II, and a draft scriptfrom Supertrain.

Among Mao’s selections from the theater company’srecords were the annotated stage manager’s librettofor Pacific Overtures, publicity photos of actors/artisticdirectors Mako and Nobu McCarthy, and promotionalitems such as f lyers and brochures.

Wilson chose unique items from the film studio’srecords, including prints of storyboards and set designsketches for Citizen Kane, a portion of the score for SwingTime, and a cost overrun report from the film noir Strangeron the Third Floor.

Konkle processed the Randolph Scott Papers. Herchoices ref lect the interesting career of this actorbest-known for his westerns: photos from overseastours to promote troop morale during World War II,a poster from China Sky, and an annotated script fromThe Bounty Hunter.

These finding aids – along with those for other Uni-versity of California collections and for holdings ofmuseums, historical societies, and archives across thestate – are accessible through the Online Archive ofCalifornia at <http://www.oac.cdlib.org>.

Nearly ten million people came through the physical


One of those was Adam Michaelson, a graduate of

the Anderson School of Management, author of

the soon-to-be-released book The Foreclosure of America:

Inside the Rise and Fall of Countrywide, the Mortgage Crisis,

and the Default of the American Dream (Berkley Hardcover,

2009). Now the principal of Michaelson Marketing

Group, MichaelsonMarketing.com, Michaelson served

as senior vice president

of Countrywide Financial,

which gave him a unique

perspective on and exten-

sive insight into the

dramatic collapse of this

Fortune 100 company.

Michaelson accounted for

quite a few of those ten

million visitors, at least

to the Eugene and Maxine

Rosenfeld Management

Library. The head librarian

reserved a study room for

his use, where he spent

several months researching

and writing his book, and he also consulted librarians

for assistance with reference and research questions.

Michaelson found the setting as important as the

library collections he consulted. “As an Anderson

graduate, when I signed the deal to write the inside

story of one of the largest economic stories of

our age, I immediately knew that I wanted to write

it inside the Anderson School library,” he noted.

“Among the silent stacks, the echoes of every impor-

tant work held in its collections or written inside

its walls pushed me and supported me to do it well

and make UCLA proud.”

Michaelson knew about the print resources

available in the Management Library, but he

was likely unaware of the essential but little-known

department that ensures those print items are in usable

condition. The Library’s Preservation Department had

a banner year in many respects in 2007/08, though

the only result visible to users is that fragile or heavily

used books were repaired and returned to their

shelves quickly.

The department opened a new conservation laboratory

with expanded space and equipment that will enable

the conservation staff to work on more items simulta-

neously and to perform a wider variety of treatments.

Training sessions at both the university and local

levels enabled staff members to share their expertise

on everything from how to respond to small-scale

water disasters to how to conserve and repair books.

In addition to these concrete actions, a new depart-

ment head began long-range strategic planning to

ensure preservation of UCLA Library collections in

all media for generations yet to come.

The department’s activities were not all behind the

scenes. The collections conservator also joined the

Library’s university archivist and head of the Center

for Oral History Research at a public program on

preserving family history, where she shared insights

service enhancement during 2007/08 was designed to

make using collections more convenient. Though this

“convenience factor” can’t be ref lected in usage statis-

tics, Library visitors benefited from the transition

from the old copy card system to the near-universal

BruinCard system for copying and printing.

No longer do users have to carry or obtain the library-

use-only copy card or worry about having enough

value on it to finish copying an article or printing a

paper. The BruinCard is already in common use across

campus as the standard ID card, library card, and debit

card for meals and other purchases and offers multiple

ways of adding value: at a BruinCard machine, online,

at the BruinCard office, and through payroll deduc-

tions. Even visitors can obtain a special BruinCard,

which can also be used for purchases on campus and

at more than twenty businesses in Westwood.

Launched in Spring 2008, a pilot of another

enhanced service promises users increased ease

of discovery of and access to print and electronic

holdings of all University of California (UC) libraries

and libraries around the world. Next-Generation

Melvyl, a pilot version of a replacement for the existing

UC-wide Melvyl Catalog, uses technology developed

by the non-profit Online Computer Library Center and

already in use at academic libraries ranging from the

University of Washington to Ohio State University.

Accessible at <http://ucla.worldcat.org>, Next-

Generation Melvyl features a single interface that

searches holdings in UC, national, and international

libraries as well as for article references in education,

medicine and health, U.S. government publications,

and general topics. Users can access the full text or

print-copy information for journals to which there

is a UC subscription and can also check circulation

status, place holds on items at their home campuses,

and request items held elsewhere, both within the

UC system and beyond. Other features include the abi-

lity to easily refine searches, build and share lists of

resources, view personal ratings and reviews of items,

cite items in various styles, export citations in multiple

formats, and search the catalog using several languages.

or virtual front doors of a UCLA library during 2007/08.

Though all these services could be quantified in one way or another, their true value ispractically immeasurable. When users are able to find a suitable place in a library to studyor do research, search for holdings in UCLA’s collections and far beyond, find heavily useditems that have been carefully repaired and quickly reshelved, and make copies to takehome, they may not know about the planning, effort, and staff behind each of those services.And that’s as it should be.


Knowledge and Beauty: The Legacyof Franklin D. MurphyOctober - December 2007Charles E. Young Research Library

No knowledge is unimportant. No response to beauty is unimportant.And, in fact, the most exciting thing of all is the exploration of newand interesting and beautiful things.

– Franklin D. Murphy

Admired and respected by all who knew him as a doctor, educator, administrator, and business executive,Franklin D. Murphy left an indelible mark on every institution with which he was associated. As chancellorof UCLA from 1960 to 1968, he shepherded the university through a period of dramatic growth on its risetoward what he termed “scholarly distinction in worldwide terms.”

In 1975, with support from the Ahmanson Foundation, he established the Franklin E. Murphy, MD Fund at theUCLA Library in honor of his father. This endowment helps ensure that the Louise M. Darling Biomedical LibraryHistory and Special Collections for the Sciences can continue to build one of the preeminent collections of raremedical and scientific works dating from the fifteenth to the twentieth centuries.

This exhibit honored Murphy’s legacy by featuring selections from the remarkable collection that has been builtwith the proceeds from this fund.

Fighting the Fires of Hate: America and the NaziBook BurningsFebruary - April 2008Charles E. Young Research Library

Just a few months after Adolf Hitler came to power in Nazi Germany and six years before WorldWar II began, German university students launched an Action Against the Un-German Spirit. Tar-geting authors ranging from Helen Keller and Ernest Hemingway to Albert Einstein and SigmundFreud, they orchestrated book burnings across Germany that foreshadowed the realization ofnineteenth-century German-Jewish writer Heinrich Heine’swarning “where one burns books, one soon burns people.”

Organized by the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington,DC, this traveling exhibition provided a vivid look at the first steps the Nazistook to suppress freedom of expression, the strong response that occurredin the U.S. immediately and during the war, and the continued presence ofthis incendiary event in public discourse throughout the ensuing years. It wascomplemented by an exhibit of items from related UCLA Library collections,including those of Ray Bradbury, Dr. Caesar Hirsch, Ernst Toch, Franz Werfel,and Eric Zeisl.

Portrait of a Jewish Artist: R. B. Kitajin Text and ImageJanuary - April 2008Charles E. Young Research LibraryDepartment of Special Collections

Renowned as a major figurative painter, Kitaj was also a notable intellec-tual, conversant in the history of art, philosophy, and aesthetics. Amonghis favorite topics of conversation – as well as the source of inspirationfor his later painting and writing – was what he called the “Jewish ques-

tion,” the surprising persistence of bothanti-Semitism and Jewish intellectual creativityin the modern age.

An exploration of the life, legacy, and Jewishobsession of this important Los Angeles-basedartist, this exhibit featured items drawn from the personal archive of papers Kitajdonated to UCLA shortly before his death in October 2007. It included selectionsfrom his extensive correspondence, personal and published writings, drawings,sketches, prints, designs for book covers, and books.

Organized by David N. Myers, professor of history and director of the UCLA Centerfor Jewish Studies, it was held in conjunction with “R. B. Kitaj: Passion and Memory –Jewish Works from His Personal Collection” at the Skirball Cultural Center.

Middle Eastern Americans on the MoveSeptember-December 2007Powell Library Rotunda

Middle Eastern Americans have been contributing to American culture for more than a century, yet the commu-nity has remained largely invisible as a defined group. Among its members are numerous personalities and publicfigures, including politicians, activists, business and community leaders, educators, philanthropists, scientists,artists, and entertainers.

The first U.S. exhibit of items and programs ref lecting the literary, cinematic, scholarly, and cultural output ofthis panethnic community, it featured popular culture items such as cookbooks, literature, magazines, and news-papers; scholarly works by UCLA faculty and students documenting UCLA’s impact on the emerging field ofMiddle Eastern American studies; archival documents; and documentaries and feature films.

The exhibit was co-sponsored by the UCLA Center for Near Eastern Studies; the departments of comparativeliterature, English, and sociology; and the UCLA International Institute.

Collection Endowment Initiative

The Collection Endowment Initiative provides critically needed

funds to acquire, preserve, and make accessible library materials in

a particular subject area of interest. Collection endowments begin at

$25,000, and the Library invites donors to make a single gift or to

build an endowed fund over several years. Special bookplates ref lecting

the interests of the philanthropist are designed in consultation with

the donor and affixed to each printed item added to Library collections

that was made possible by his or her generosity.

Center for Primary Research and Training

The Center for Primary Research and Training offers UCLA graduate students the opportunity to work

with primary source materials in the Charles E. Young Research Library Department of Special Collec-

tions, thereby integrating special collections materials further into the teaching and research mission

of the university. Support for this program provides funding for graduate students each quarter, for five

to ten participants each quarter, as well as a special naming opportunity to interested donors.

The UCLA Library Associates

Support from the UCLA Library Associates annual giving program ensures that critical needs, from

special opportunity acquisitions to information literacy programs, are addressed. Discretionary funds

available to the university librarian will make a significant impact on the quality, innovative resources

and services that the UCLA Library is able to offer. The generosity of each Library Associates member

is acknowledged through invitations to a variety

of stimulating activities throughout the year and

courtesies such as borrowing privileges.

Honor with Books

Honor with Books allows donors to pay a lasting

tribute to a special person by placing a bookplate

in his or her honor in one newly purchased book in

the subject area of the donor’s choice. This $100 gift

directed to the Honor with Books Fund will support

a critical acquisitions need while honoring a loved

one, friend, or colleague in perpetuity.

As of June 30, 2008, Digital Library collections contained435,419 digital files occupying 11.44 TB. More importantly,these files contain voices – beginning with real voices often real people, interviewed by the UCLA Library Centerfor Oral History Research.

From Franklin Murphy to Carey McWilliams, from TomBradley to Yvonne Brathwaite Burke, from Ray Bradbury toBella Lewitzky – over the years Library oral histories havecaptured intimate perspectives of noteworthy figures onthe institutional history of UCLA, the growth and develop-ment of Southern California, and other nationally andinternationally significant topics. But until now, peoplewho wanted to use these unique primary sources had tovisit UCLA to read the transcripts or travel to UC Berkeley,where duplicate volumes were housed; the original record-ings were not accessible.

A very few transcripts were available online, but that was apoor substitute for hearing the subject speak in his or herown voice. However, during the 2007/08 fiscal year, a pilotproject was launched that features streaming audio of ten interviewswith figures in California labor history, African Americans and the civil

rights movement in Los Angeles, the Hollywood blacklist, and theCommunity Party in Southern California.

During the pilot the project’s managers have identified challenges andbest practices in digitizing recorded interviews; longer-term plans areto bring even more voices to life online and to collaborate with otherinstitutions on similar projects. To listen to the recordings, go to<http://digital.library.ucla.edu/cohr>.

Two “voices” from the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries are alsonewly accessible, courtesy of another Digital Library project. Record-

ing technology obviously didn’t exist during theRenaissance, and though printed and manuscriptdocuments did, they are rare and fragile and oftenonly accessible through a visit to a special collec-tions department.

However, with the launch of the Orsini FamilyPapers, users anywhere have online access to aninventory and searchable selection of digitizedmaterials from the extensive archive of one of theoldest and most prominent clans in Italian history.The initial selection includes 130 maps and plans as

well as the words of a fourteenth-century cardinal, as recorded inhis will, and of a fifteenth-century King of Naples, as they appearin an agreement between him and a faction of rebels. The Orsinipapers are accessible at <http://digital.library.ucla.edu/orsini>.

The term “terabyte” would have been terra incognita to the Orsinifamily or the oral history subjects. Yet all would surely have wel-comed the opportunity the UCLA Digital Library Program hasoffered to make their voices heard again.

Behind the Bytes The UCLA Digital Library Program

What is a terabyte? Though anAnimal Planet television series about the future oflife on earth adopted the word for a possible speciesof termite-like insect, in the present day, it’s a mea-sure of data storage capacity. By way of comparison,it would take more than one million of the morecommonly known megabytes (MB) to equal oneterabyte (TB).
