     From the appointment of Louis Round Wilson as University
Librarian in 1901 until 1961, the Library's financial records
were maintained by the Librarian or one of his assistants. On
September 1, 1961, Charles Schliecker was appointed Library
Business Manager (later Assistant University Librarian for
Planning and Finance) with responsibility for accounting,
budgetary and facilities planning, and the upkeep of library
buildings. On July 7, 1975, Alfred Sharlip succeeded Schliecker
as Assistant Librarian.

     The Archives' holdings record the University Librarian's
accounts prior to the appointment of a Business Manager. The
records consist of twenty-three volumes for the period 1901-1948.

state funds for books, binding, supplies, salaries and wages, as
