5.0 RESULTS

The following results of the BLRIC study, with comparisons of some from the FIGIT study, are arranged under the following headings:

Background data

Current and planned retrospective conversion programs

Methods

Standards

Access - to items in libraries and collections

- to machine readable catalogue records

Supplementary data - non-print items needing retrospective conversion

- material which has never been catalogued


Notes

- As with the FIGIT study, several of the questions allowed for multiple responses. In those cases the totals given show the number of responses not the number of libraries. In other cases discrepancies in some of the figures are due to the failure of respondents to provide answers to particular questions.

- Precise figures appear in the 'totals' for the BLRIC study because many libraries were able to provide them; however, most responses were best estimates.

- 'Total titles' in stocks also include 'never catalogued' items

- 'Machine readable' is abbreviated to m/r in the following tables.

- The question numbers given in round brackets at the end of each Section and/or Table heading relate to the BLRIC study questionnaire. In the case of comparison with the FIGIT study the question numbers are prefixed with BLRIC and FIGIT and these tables are 'boxed'.

* 23 public libraries provided totals of the number of 'items' in their stocks instead of the number of 'titles' as requested. Estimates of the totals of their 'titles' were produced using the CIPFA Public Library Statistics 1994-95 actual (1996) and the formula described in Section 4.5.6. Using the same method it was possible to estimate the total titles in the 71 libraries which did not respond to the survey. .

** 'Other Libraries' included the following: broadcasting, business, charity, endowed, government funded institute, hobby and club, national special, NHS/public health, poetry, private, quango, record office, religious, research council, trades union, and five 'unclassified'.

This table gives details of the number of titles and records for special collections which are included in the totals given in Table 3.

* Appendix D gives a sample of the lists which could be produced of special collections as a result of the data gathered in the two studies.

'Current' and 'planned' programmes were not mutually exclusive and there is a measure of overlap in the totals. It should also be noted that it was clear that in a number of instances the 'planned' totals given were best hopes rather than firm estimates.

**Using the same method of calculation as detailed in 5.1 above, it is estimated that the total titles for printed items in special collections in all the UK's public libraries is 6,900,000 and that 40% (2,800,000) of these are in local collections, with 5,300,000 catalogue records awaiting conversion.

*** Several of the 'other' libraries were unable to provide details of the number of titles in their special collections and the total is almost certainly higher than shown above.

5.11 Planned retroconversion programmes: sources of funding and librarians estimates of timetable (Q11, Q39, Q39m and Q40 by Q1)

Librarians were often unable to make a distinction between 'current' and 'planned' programmes of retrospective conversion because the programmes were ongoing and had to be budgeted for on an annual basis.

Many of those librarians with 'planned' programmes gave no indication of their expected source of funding, or the expected timescale.
