By the end of 1967 we had as ~n the oast, one person perf?nning this function . By July of 1968 He had 3dded' a fulltime reference superVl.sor, Mrs . 'lary :rurphy. By the latter part of 1968 a fulltir:e as~dstant. had been hired in addition to the t'..IO already mentioned, bringing the Referenc7 sect1on to three fu~l-tim~ nersons . This, of course , Has made possible by our sprnng as reference and 1nterlibrary loan center for Northeast Kansas Library System . Beginning in 1969, contractual funds from the system ldll go toward paying the costs of the reference oersonnel and in addition will provide funds for additional books . Unde r normal circumstances the library vrould not for years been able to af'ord a fully- manned reference staff during the 63 hours it is open each vreek. li01..-ever, by ut.ilizing that staff to serve the needs of local patrons and serving as a backuo service to out-of-to·..n libraries at the same time, all parties involved are able to get the most effective use of professional advisory sez·vices . • During ti:e year 1968, our reference staff pro~rided answers to 3 , 472 reference questions and in addition handled 7, 740 requests for interlibrary loans from system libraries . Over 600 requests for rr.aterials for La't-1rence patrons were sent onto the KIC circuit. dunng the year. In adlition to f~~ds received for sala ries during 1968 , over $8,600 worth of reference materials were placed in the collection due to Lawrence Library' s role as reference center for the Syr.t'1m . ~s a sidelight to the above sP!'Vice , an interesting project has been carried on bet~reen Larrrence and Joh:-tson Comity for anproximately one year not-t. This consists of exchanging lists of books which each library h3s on reserve for its patrons . Tnus during the year La·;rence was able to find some 537 ad~ ~ional books for its patrons rlllch sooner than the normal time of 2 to 4 weeks wa1t~ng for a book to co~e back from circulation . This exchange also saw Lawrence providing 483 books ~ Jo~1son County in the exchange program . ?ro:n its beginnings as pilot project ~n 19~6 , t~e Northe:st ~ansas Lib~rie~ System had been unde r the adiili.."listrat~ ,,e direct~on o~ th ....
