•  The Library Automation, Research and 
Consulting (LARC) Association is publishing 
a twelve-volume series entitled A Survey of 
Automated Activities in the Libraries of the 
World. Several thousand automated library 
projects will be reviewed. Each reporting library 
describes its projects and specifies their exact 
status, i.e., operational, in design stage, planned, 
projected, etc. The information also informs the 
reader whether the project is conducted by 
the library or outside personnel, and indicates 
the type of equipment used, its ownership, ex­
periences in obtaining machine time, program­
ming language used, etc.

The entire spectrum of library operations 
will be covered—acquisitions, book catalogs, 
cataloging, serials and periodicals, circulation, 
information retrieval and indexing, bibliogra­
phies, management, inventory, and a variety 
of other operations. The schedule of publica­

•  California—Intercom is the cooperatively 
produced quarterly containing news of Cali­
fornia’s community college libraries and librari­
ans. In addition to information on places, 
people, policies, programs, and plans the ro­
tating editors produce an annual directory list­
ing the library staffs of California’s more than 
ninety community colleges. The California

lished in 1970. This organization represents the 
institution rather than the individual, who is 
already represented by the California Library 
Association.

Held by the Community College Libraries in 
the San Gabriel Valley Area includes titles cur­
rently being received by Chafīey College, Cit­
