158 The University of California Libraries required can be reduced to a much smaller figure, and if the volumes are converted to microform the space required becomes even less. Because of this wide range of options, it is obvious that the treatment of bound volumes is likely to offer the most fruitful area of investigation of alternatives, and in fact most of the efforts of the research team have been concentrated on this aspect. New Construction on Campus. The most obvious method of housing bound volumes is to continue as in the past, and house them by constructing new open-stack library facilities as needed. The costs of this approach were therefore calculated, not only because it is the most obvious, but also to serve as a base for consideration of other alternatives. For open-stack facilities, as indicated above, most planning documents estimate storage of bound volumes at 10 to 15 volumes per square foot. For the purposes of calculations in the model, a median figure of 12.5 volumes per asf (0.08 asf per volume) was used. This factor was applied to the projected number of volumes to be housed (as outlined in Chapter VIII), and the result added to space required for all other purposes. The result was a projection of total library asf required for each campus for the next 10 years. From this total, the existing asf already available on each campus (including approved projects under construction or about to be completed) was subtracted. For each year in which the result was a negative figure, the existing space was assumed to be adequate. A positive number indicated the additional space needed. The projections for the University as a whole on this basis, and assuming a continuation of past research library staffing patterns, are shown in Table 26. Table 27 indicates the projections for each campus based on the staffing recommended in this plan. The costs of providing the required new facilities for each campus, including the necessary shelving, were then calculated, using figures supplied by the Office of the Coordinator of Physical Planning in Systemwide Administration. For libraries on campuses in the South, the average cost is estimated to be between $98 and $113 per
