Executive Director’s Summary

March 2006 ushered in a re-assignment from the Ministry of Education to the Ministry of Tourism, Entertainment, and Culture. The re-assignment was occasioned by the new Cabinet of new Prime Minister, The Honourable Portia Simpson Miller, and M.P. By year’s end, March 2007, the NLJ was well ensconced in its new Ministry and getting along very well with its sibling agencies, who if truth be told were in the beginning somewhat skeptical about our adoption into the Tourism family. The highlights of the year under review include:

Death of Miss Lou, well-beloved icon of Jamaican culture. The NLJ is the repository of Miss Lou’s papers and during the year part-time staff was employed to begin the sorting of the papers which came to NLJ’s possession when Miss Lou migrated to Canada.

Launch of Digital talking Books produced by the NLJ in partnership with a

slew of stakeholders in developing resources for the blind and print-disabled.

Outreach to the publishing community via a series of presentations on

ISBN.

Greetings From Jamaica, an exhibition of historic post cards in the collection mounted at Devon House for World Tourism Day

A Sunday evening event : A History of Cricket in Jamaica 1870 – present.

Open Day on November 3 with an onsite broadcast from Power 106 radio

station

Up-load of Jamaican Bibliographic Database to www.nlj.org.jm

Compilation of Slave Trade: a Select Bibliography to mark the 200 anniversary of the abolition of the trade in enslaved Africans. Bibliography

Between April 2006 and March 2007 more persons made use of the resources; the financial support was adequate; staff valiantly faced the challenges they met—largely inadequate physical space and not enough staff. All in all it was a good year for in many ways we advanced on our Vision, Mission and Values.

GOVERNANCE

Board Members, present and outgoing and some members of staff pose following a luncheon

on November 10, 2006 to thank former board Members: Mrs. Gloria Hamilton, Mrs. Sheila Lampart and Mrs. Shirley Carby

Minister of Tourism, Entertainment and Culture, The Honourable Aloun Ndomdet Assamba, M.P named a new Board of Management in July 2007. Professor Daphne Douglas C.D. was reappointed Chairman. The list of Board Members is found at Appendix 1.

A Board Management Handbook was developed in this period and the Board convened three meetings. Board of Management Agenda items included the draft National Library Act; establishment of a committee to formulate strategies to address the chronic space limitations; succession planning and organizational restructuring; request from Yale Centre for British Art for loan of material for an exhibition on Isaac Mendes Belisario; development of an investment policy

The budget approved for the financial year was $65,385,000.00. The income and expenditure statement is attached at Appendix IV.

….…TO COLLECT The collection was significantly boosted by the addition of two thousand six hundred and seventy (2,670) black and white photographs. These photographs represent about a third of the photographs which were donated to the NLJ from a purchase from the Daily News when it went into receivership in 1983. The provenance of these photographs was only fully ascertained in the year as we sought to clarify the matter of the copyright of the photographs. The acquisitions for the year were:

Books 834

Pamphlets 256

Serials 420

Electronic journals 12 titles / 58 vols.

Photographs 2,670

Posters 217

Event Programmes 472

Calendars 111

Microfilm acquisitions of note included Gale Morant Papers 1731- 1925 Jamaican Plantation Records from Dickenson Papers; 37 reels of newspapers on microfilm bought from the British Library. The newspapers acquired on microfilm include Jamaica Daily Telegraph April – June 1899. Also of note was the acquisition of 14 reels of microfilm of Spider Trickster Tales From

5

Jamaica: The Anansi Folk Tales Collection. These stories were collected from Jamaican children between 1930 – 1931 by Jesuit missionary and ethnologist Joseph John Williams. The allocation approved for acquisition was supplemented by a grant of $486, 899.00 from the Culture, Health, Arts, Sports and Education (CHASE) Fund which was used to purchase, among other items, the following:

Further Papers Relating to Slaves in the West Indies: viz. Return to An Address of the Honourable House of Commons, dated 13th April 1824…Respecting the Apprehension, For the Purpose of being carried off the island of Jamaica of two free men of colour named Lescesne and Escoffery in the month of October 1823.

Catholic Faith and Discipline. A Sermon Preached at the Ordination held by Christopher, Lord Bishop of Jamaica June 6, 1841 by WM Mayhew, A.B. Island Curate in St. Thomas in the Vale. James Lunan, Harbour Street, Kingston.

The Two Charters of the Society for Advancing the Christian Faith in the British West India Islands and Elsewhere. London, 1836.

A bid to acquire Marcus Garvey papers in partnership with the Institute of Jamaica (IOJ) was not successful; supposedly due to inadequate staffing.

Legal Deposit

In this the second year of the promulgation of the Legal Deposit Act a deliberate campaign to raise awareness regarding the act was undertaken. On June 22, 2006 a presentation on ISBN in general and the impending change to 13 digits was made to participants at a trade fair put on by the Book Industry Association of Jamaica. The NLJ presented a workshop on ISBN, ISSN, Legal Deposit, to the publishing sector on October 31, 2006 The activities resulted in the article Few Deposits on Music History: Archiving stalls in the Sunday Gleaner of October 8, 2006 and the Sunday Herald of November 26 published the article National Library Intensifies Public Education Campaign for Legal Deposit.

Web Archiving

The committee which was established in March of the previous year to discuss matters related to the harvesting and archiving of born digital publications convened one meeting during the year. The proposed strategies included cooperative harvesting; outsourcing of harvesting and harvesting within the remit of the Legal Deposit Act; however for various reasons there was no follow-up action.

…TO PRESERVE The repair, restoration and conservation of items in the collection continue to be the main focus of this department resulting in an increase in the output in this type of work. The Minutes Book of Institute of Jamaica 1887 - 1919 MS 23, continues to be restored.

An instrument for the collecting of paper preservation statistics was implemented in the year. The output of the department included 191 volumes treated; 80 volumes de-acidified; 7 Manuscripts restored; 18 maps repaired; 75 Books bound; 62 pamphlets bound; 13 Photographs repaired. The preservation of sound and moving images collection presents unique challenges; chief of which is the race against deteriorating film due to vinegar syndrome and the need to preserve by way of re-formatting so as to ensure future access. The Audio Visual Department preservation output included the reformatting of one hundred and sixteen (116) 16mm film to VHS; the cleaning and repairing of 854 films; microfilming of 15 monographs and 15 months of a combination of The Observer and The Gleaner.

..…TO DOCUMENT

The JNB (Jamaica National Bibliography) covering the period 1998 -2000 was completed in this period. Related to our mission to document is the issuing of international standard numbers to the publishing community and during the year increased effort was placed in building greater awareness of the significance of obtaining International Standard Serial Number (ISSN) for periodicals and International Standard Book Number (ISBN) for monographs. At year’s end 24 ISSN and 288 ISBN were assigned. Another service provided to publishers is the issuing of Cataloguing in Publication (CIP) data and 46 CIP were issued.

Nine hundred and forty items (940) were catalogued and classified over the period. This amounts to six hundred and seventy two (672) new acquisitions and two hundred and sixty eight (268) items found on the shelves with no corresponding catalogue record. This combined total represents 94% of target. One hundred and four (104) serial titles were catalogued and classified (35% of target). One hundred and eight (108) analytic records were created which represents more than a 100% increase over the 2005/06 figure.

At the end of the 2006/2007 period the Library’s OPAC had 30,903 records, an increase in record count of 446 over the 2006/2007 amount of 30,456 records. Metadata activity was very low for this period. Metadata was created for fourteen items.

The accomplishments related to documenting must be seen in the context of two cataloguers for a collection that is not only fast growing but multiplying in the formats that must be catalogued.

Databases

Twenty six (26) databases were maintained with server uptime of 98%. The databases were updated regularly and a new database NLJD2 was developed to list the new collection being created from user requests for digital reproduction. Work continued on the Maps database which has a total of 7,721 entries. Twenty new manuscripts were accessioned and added to the collection. The editing of the Richard Hart Papers has been completed and they have been placed in the manuscript collection at MS #2170. Stocktaking of the Manuscript collection continued and the database of the manuscript collection being developed was at year’s end populated with 60 manuscripts. A Prints Finding List was also developed during the year.

Stock Inventory

Stock Inventory for the West Indian Collection continued during the reporting period. At the end of the year, the stock count for Jamaican books and pamphlets were 22,362 items 11,975 pamphlets and 10, 287 books

8

…TO FACILITATE ACCESS The use made of the collection generally increased over the previous year with the use of the books and pamphlets and visits to www.nlj.org.jm recording the largest increase. Use of the photographs, maps and microfilm collections recorded decreased usage over the previous year.

The NLJ is the coordinator of a partnership project to develop Digital Talking Books (DTB) for the Blind and Print Disabled. The project titled CDAC (Caribbean Digital Audio Collection) is governed by a Memorandum of Understanding amongst production entities (NLJ and the Radio Education Unit (REU) of the UWI, Mona); access entities (Jamaica Library Service, Salvation Army School for the Blind; Jamaica Society for the Blind, Main Library, UWI, Mona and the Radio Education Unit, REU)

Mr. Vivian Blake, Technical Assistant to CDAC demonstrates digital talking book reader on the occasion

of the launch on July 12, 2006 of the digital talking books produced by NLJ and REU.

9

Funding for this project was made possible by a grant from UNESCO and it is hoped that the production and access will be mainstreamed into the partner organizations operations and services.

Technical Assistant to CDAC, Mr. Sean MockYen presents Digital Talking Books and readers to Mrs. Norma Kpodo Campus Librarian, University of the West Indies.

Work continued on building digital collections so as to facilitate extra-mural access. In that regard though progress was less than targeted due largely to problems with uploading dense digitized files. A total of thirteen new items were added to the digital collection Jamaica UnShackled. An additional digital collection was being compiled from those requests for digital reproductions from the collection. This collection titled NLJD2 will in time be made available for public consultation. As a partner in the multinational dLOC (Digital Library of the Caribbean) the NLJ received two scanners (flatbed and spooling), a computer (optimized for digitization), software and training in digitization. In return the NLJ contributes digital collection to dLOC. The UNESCO funded Memory of the World Database of Regional Documentary Heritage was compiled and mounted on the library’s website. This is a project to list the documentary masterpieces of the region with a view to make known these resources, to enable access and to inspire preservation.

…THROUGH A NETWORK OF TECHNOLOGICALLLY ENHANCED LIBRARIES AND SERVICES. One meeting of the Advisory Council on the National Information System (ACNIS) was convened on April 12, 2006. Agenda items were whether there existed a National Audio Visual Archives or not; the outstanding amendment to the copyright act; progress reports from the networks and the debate regarding the need for a formal Memorandum of Understanding amongst the four focal point entities; namely the NLJ, the Jamaica Library Service, the University of the West Indies and the Jamaica Archives and Records Department. The Audio Visual Department as focal point and coordinator for the Audio Visual Information Network (AVIN) with some assistance from member institutions in the network presented a seminar on Image Collections as Cultural Heritage from August 22- 24, 2006 at the Knutsford Court Hotel. In support of the development of the national information system records continued to be collected from twenty nine special libraries in the public sector for the on-going development of the Jamaica Bibliographic Database and on January 8, 2007 the Jamaica Bibliographic Database with records from sixty libraries was mounted online at www.nlj.org.jm

12

The Integrated Library Operating System of circulation, statistics and acquisition modules was showcased at the annual CDS/ISIS User Group Meeting on May 12, 2006. Work was also done on a new version of the Card Catalogue Module. A meeting of network coordinators was held in November 2006 and the annual CDS/ISIS user group meeting was convened in May 2006. The attendance was impressive with a total of eighty five (85) libraries from across the island participating in this meeting. The CDS/ISIS for Windows software was made available to twelve (12) new customers upon their requests. There were also seventeen (17) training sessions for the period. A major focus of the training sessions was to promote standards for database development as this is particularly important in the development of the Jamaican Bibliographic Database. The CDS/ISIS newsletter, JAMISIS, was also published and made available to CDS/ISIS users both electronically and on paper at the annual meeting.

Internally the technical capacity was enhanced with the acquisition of 12 computers; 50 user licenses of Symantec Antivirus Corporate Edition 8.1. There was ongoing provision of internet access (internet café), with an estimated 96% uptime. The 4% downtime was related to bandwidth problems which have been solved through the acquisition of upgrade service from Cable and Wireless Jamaica (CWJ).

Human Resources Management

An objective for the past year was to strengthen employees capacities and facilitate shared values. In support of that objective the Staff Guide was edited and a new policy and instrument developed to govern financial assistance. Succession Planning was a focus of the year and a plan was engaged as the Deputy Director Designate Mr. Byron Palmer (now Deputy Director Acting) assumed the position upon the retirement of the former Deputy Director, Mrs. Eppie Edwards. In quick succession was an acting appointment for the position of Information Systems Manager for the INS department. Training opportunities were as follows:
