University Libraries to cut
several serial subscriptions
The cuts, which will initially
be available to University
faculty for review, could hit
more than 300 periodicals
By Chuck Slothower
News Reporter
The University Libraries, which
compose many libraries on campus,
have issued a list of more than 300
periodical subscriptions that may be
cut in an attempt to save the Univer
sity $200,000.
The cuts will be made in May to al
low time for faculty to review and
comment on the reductions, which
toiiow a major round or cancellations
made last year. Beginning March 1,
faculty will be able to examine the
proposed cancellations.
The cuts come in the face of a stag
nant library budget and increasing
costs for periodical subscriptions.
"When serials inflate at a rate of 8 to
10 percent a year, we need to cut back
or it would eat our entire budget," As
sociate University Librarian for Collec
tions and Access Mark Watson said.
"It's kind of a vicious cycle."
The candidate list for cancellations
includes 318 titles, which range from
popular publications such as Rolling
Stone, Playboy and U.S. News &
World Report, to scholarly journals
like the Annals of Human Genetics.
Watson said that determining the
list of proposed cuts was a collabora
tive effort.
"It's the result of a partnership be
tween the library and teaching faculty,"
Watson said. "We give them a target
amount to cut. Then they discuss
things and get a list back to the library."
Watson said that the increasing
problem of subscription costs is not
unique to the University.
"Unfortunately serials cancellations
are becoming a way of life for not just
our library, but other libraries as well,"
he said.
Faculty members said the cuts raise
questions about how their research
will be affected.
"The library is the heart of the Uni
versity and journal subscriptions are
a critical component of the research
enterprise," psychology Professor
Robert Mauro said. "If it's difficult for
us to access the knowledge in the
field, it makes it difficult for us to do
our research."
Mauro said the library's holdings
have been drastically reduced since he
last worked on the library's journal
subscriptions about a decade ago.
"We've lost enormous numbers of
journals," he said. "We're down to the
bare bones."
Mauro suggested that the University
needs to prioritize funding for the li
brary, especially journal subscrip
tions, even if it means accepting cuts
in other areas.
A University librarian said that
they are doing the best they can giv
en the circumstances.
"The UO Libraries recognize that
maintaining access to research materials,
regardless of format, is a top priority of
our faculty," Collection Development
and Acquisitions Head Faye Chadwell
said. "We remain committed to support
ing (faculty) scholarship and teaching
despite the challenges we face by way of
severe fiscal constraints, continuous
technological innovations and rapid
changes in scholarly publishing."
The library cut $400,000 in sub
scriptions during the last fiscal year
and is continuing the serials reduc
tions this year.
Some departments will face no cuts
in their desired titles, while others will
be cut by up to 20 percent. A final list
of proposed cuts will be posted in
mid-April.
Faculty and students interested in re
viewing and commenting on the pro
posed list of titles to be cut can do so at

view04/.

said.
Hill also said several signs were
posted at the front and rear entrances
that read "No trespassing" and "No
minors will be served alcohol, have
IDs ready."
Fitzpatrick confirmed signs were
posted, and EPD seized them as evi
dence.
"Those signs are posted for our ben
efit, not the minors," he said.
Fitzpatrick said one-third to one
half of the people in attendance
were minors.
Hill said although nearly 100 people
were in and outside of the five-bed
room house, he was confused about
why EPD showed up because he didn't
think the neighbors were complaining.
Fitzpatrick said neighbors began

calling police several days before the
party because they saw flyers pro
moting a live band and alcohol. EPD
also knew about the party through a
relationship OLCC has with local
keg distributors.
After 5 p.m. Fridays, local compa
nies send their keg receipts to the
OLCC, which then sends OLCC inves
tigators to registered keg locations to
ensure the keg is where it should be.
Investigators also talk to people about
responsible parties.
"We try to educate students on cam
pus so things like this don't happen,"
Jaehnig said.
Keg receipts require that keg pur
chasers provide two forms of identifi
cation. They also ask the buyer where
and when the keg will be consumed,
and the purchaser must sign a form
stating her or she will not sell the alco
hol, provide it to minors or provide it
to those who are visibly intoxicated.
If party hosts feel the party has got
ten out of control, Fitzpatrick said they
can call the police for assistance. He
said many times they get calls from
people who anticipated just a few
friends, but many more show up.
In that instance, if the host is the
first person to contact the police, they
will show up and help the host re
move the people from the party who
shouldn't be there. Fitzpatrick added
that if the host does call before any
complaints from neighbors are made,
the police will not issue citations at the
party because the host took initiative
to calm it down.
