Library to cut foreign books

By WENDY SHARP
Due to price hikes by foreign
publishing companies, University
libraries will cut acquisitions of
foreign books and journals next
year by 10 percent, according to
Richard Dougherty, director of
University libraries.
These cutbacks, which will
affect journals more than books,
will total approximately $500,000,
Dougherty said.
According to Dougherty,
European publishing firms are
increasing prices. He attributed the
price hikes to the small number of
companies controlling the market,
and predicted the situation may
worsen in the future.
Dougherty said some foreign
publishers have boosted prices by
100 percent in the last two years.
One journal's price increased by
177 percent, he said.
Dougherty has also noticed a
price differential between what
foreign publishing companies

charge for journals in their own
country and what they charge in the
United States. According to
Dougherty, foreign publishers argue
that marketing and distributing
costs are causing the increases.
Decisions about the periodicals
and books to be cut will be made
by personnel in each library, said
Barbara MacAdam, head of the
Undergraduate Library. "Each
library unit is looking at their
collection and is involved in
communication with faculty."
William Stebbins, chair of the
Senate Advisory Community on
University Affairs, said the libraries
do not have a choice. "They've been
squeezed by the publishers and
they're doing the only thing they
can do," Stebbins said. "It's going
to be rough on the faculty."
"Ultimately the cuts will affect
everyone," MacAdam said. The

reduction in available foreign
journals will be difficult for faculty
members, MacAdam said, but she
has also noticed more students
using such journals for research in
recent years.

,New hospital completes
promising first year

(Continued from Page 1)
but now patients are attracted to the
ew hospital.
Over the last year, the hospital
also showed a $25.9 million profit,
according to Buxton Mayette,
associate director for financial and,
information services.
THE idea of a replacement for
l Main was first considered in
1973, according to University
IRegent Deane Baker (R-Ann
Aror). After overcoming funding
6bstacles, construction began in
October 1981.
The new hospital turned out to
be the largest state expenditure for a
health care facility; it is second
only to the Mackinac Bridge in
construction costs in Michigan's
history.
Baker said the hospital has
surpassed the regents' expectations.
It's a marvelous addition to the
state of Michigan. It's without peer
in the world," he said.
THE new University Hospital,
according to hospital officials, is

one of the best in the nation, with
strengths in organ transplants,
geriatrics, cancer research, and
cardiology.
But the year has not been
without difficulty. Originally,
problems with the new telephone
system prevented different parts of
the building from contacting each
other. There were also bugs in the
robot-liketransportation systems
that carry materials from floor to
floor.
The higher occupancy rate placed
a greater stress on staff, Warren
said, as they tried to respond to the
higher demand. Fifty-six new
positions for nurses, necessitated by
the new building, are unfilled, as
are 124 previously unfilled
positions.
The hospital is vulnerable to
federal funding cuts. If the federal
government decreases the amount
the hospital receives for graduate
medical education, the hospital
would be hurt, says Warren,
