M an agin g a lib ra ry  
p u b lica tio n s p ro g ra m

By Jon Eldredge

Chief of Collections and Information Resources 
University of New Mexico Medical Center Library

The University of California, Irvine, wins the John Cotton 
Dana A w ard for its unique approach.

T h e  University of California, Irvine Library has 
won a Special Award in the 1985 John Cotton 
Dana Library Public Relations Award contest for 
its unique and effective administration of a library 
publications program. The UC Library was one of
15 winners selected from the 173 entrants that p ar
ticipated in this year’s contest. This annual contest 
has recognized the achievements of outstanding li
brary public relations programs since its inception 
in 1946. Three university libraries and one commu
nity college library participated in the contest this 
year.

The UC Irvine Library provided clear evidence 
that it has been managing a superb publications 
program. This award-winning publications pro
gram has produced an exemplary assortment of 
brochures, guides, maps, bibliographies, and 
newsletters which all share a coordinated graphic 
arts format. A standard masthead scheme inte
grated into all items produced in this program, plus 
a combination of complementary colors have contributed

to the pleasant visual effect produced by 
these publications. This unified design has been en
hanced by the placement of these publications on 
handsome display racks located at service areas 
throughout the library system.

The most remarkable aspect of this program ac
tually pertains to its method of administration. 
This large-scale publications program, capable of 
producing numerous printed items each year, has 
been managed by a small committee of profes
sional librarians who work within the UC Irvine li
brary. This committee has relied greatly upon the 
widespread participation and high level of cooper
ation of librarians within the Library to make this 
program a success. In the opinion of this judge the 
publications themselves must possess such a high 
degree of quality that the UC Irvine library entry 
would have won an award on the basis of this ac
complishment  alone. The program has acquired 
additional distinction though, on the merits of its 
unique method of administering with a committee.
