ACRL News Issue (B) of College & Research Libraries 161 W e s t e r n E u r o p e a n Sp e c i a l is t s Se c t i o n : “Re­ sources of German-Speaking Europe: Publishing Patterns and Bibliographic Strategies for the 80s” (July 12, 9:30 a.m .-1 2 :3 0 p.m .) is particularly aimed at librarians who occasionally buy, use or teach about German-language books, or those who wish to know more about the field. Knut Dorn, of Otto Harrassowitz, Wiesbaden, will give a general overview of German-language publish ing, its in trica cie s, and r e c e n t advances in technology. Peter R. Frank, curator of the Ger­ manic Collection at Stanford, will give a more specific view of access and selection in German studies, outlining search strategies and describing major reference sources. ■ ■ Tentative Schedule of ACRL Conference Meetings A L A A n nua l C o n f e r e n c e P h i l a d e l p h i a J u l y 10-15, 1982 ACRL B oard o f D ir e ct o r s Board of D irecto rs: Saturday, July 10, 9:30 a.m .-12:30 p.m.; Tuesday, July 13, 9:30 a .m .- 12:30 p.m. Budget Orientation: Saturday, July 10, 8 :0 0 - 10:00 p.m. ACRL G e n e r a l Program/Membership: Monday, July 12, 2 :0 0 - 5:30 p.m. Reception: Monday, July 12, 6:00-8:00 p.m. Chapters Council: Sunday, July 11, 8 :00-10:00 p.m .; Monday, July 12, 8:00-11:00 a.m. Committee, Section, and Chapter Orientation: Saturday, July 10, 8:00-10:00 p.m. ACRL D ivisional C o m m i t t e e s Audiovisual: Sunday, July 11, 2:00-4:00 p.m. Audiovisual— Program: Monday, July 12, 9 :3 0 - 11:00 a.m. Budget and F in an ce: Sunday, Ju ly 11, 9 :3 0 a.m .-1 2 :3 0 p.m ., 2:00-5:00 p.m .; Monday, July 12, 9:30-11:30 a.m. Conference Program Planning— Los Angeles, 1 9 8 3 : Sunday, July 11, 9:30-11:00 a.m. Constitution and Bylaws: Monday, Ju ly 12, 9:30-11:00 a.m. Continuing Education: Sunday, July 11, 9:30 a.m .-1 2 :3 0 p.m. Copyright (Ad Hoc): Sunday, Ju ly 11, 11:30 a.m.-1 2 :3 0 p.m. C opyright— P ro g ram : Sunday, Ju ly 11, 9 :3 0 a.m .-1 2 :3 0 p.m. Legislation: Sunday, July 11, 9 :3 0 -1 1 :0 0 a.m .; Tuesday, July 13, 8:00-9:00 a.m. Legislation— Program : Sunday, July 11, 11:30 a.m.-1 2 :3 0 p.m. Membership: Sunday, July 11, 2 :0 0 -4 :0 0 p.m .; Monday, July 12, 9:00-11:00 a.m. Planning: Sunday, July 11, 2:00-4:00 p.m. Publications: Saturday, July 10, 2:00-4:00 p.m.; Sunday, July 11, 4:30-5:30 p.m. Standards and Accreditation: Sunday, July 11, 8:00-11:00 a.m.; Monday, July 12, 9:30-11:00 a.m. ACRL E dito ria l B oards Choice: Sunday, July 11, 9:30 a.m .-1 2 :3 0 p.m. College & Research Libraries: Sunday, July 11, 2:00-4:00 p.m. College & Research Libraries News: Monday, July 12, 9:30-11:00 a.m. Nonprint Media Publications: Monday, July 12, 11:30 a.m.-1 2 :3 0 p.m. Publications in Librarianship: Monday, July 12, 8:30-11:00 a.m. ACRL D iscussio n G roups Black Studies: Sunday, July 11, 2:00-4:00 p.m. (program); Monday, July 12, 9:00-11:00 a.m. Cinema Librarians: Sunday, July 11, 9:30-11:00 a.m. English and American Literature: Saturday, July 10, 2:00-4:00 p.m. Extended Campus Lib rary Services: Sunday, July 11, 4 :3 0 -5 :3 0 p .m .; Tuesday, July 13, 9:30-11:00 a.m. Librarians of Library Science Collections: Sun­ day, July 11, 9:30 a.m .-1 2 :3 0 p.m. Personnel Administrators of Large Research Li­ b raries: Monday, July 12, 2 :0 0 -5 :3 0 p .m .; Tuesday, July 13, 4:30-5:30 p.m. Public Relations: Sunday, July 11, 8 :0 0 -1 0 :0 0 p.m.; Tuesday, July 13, 2:00-4:00 p.m. Staff Development: Monday, July 12, 9:00-11:00 a.m. Undergraduate Librarians: Tuesday, July 13, 2:00-4:00 p.m. ACRL S ec t io n s Anthropology and Sociology Section Membership: Sunday, July 11, 2:00-4:00 p.m. Bibliography: Sunday, July 11, 4:30-5:30 p.m. Art Section Tour: Tuesday, July 13, 1:00-3:30 p.m. Now completely revised… the most cost-effective, easy-to-use source of essential chemical data Heilbron’s Dictionary ofO EXECUTI rga VE EDITOR: J.

It is also the third oldest library association in the world, dating its origin from 1890. In D ecem ber 1980 David W eber, then vice-president of ACRL, appointed an ad hoc committee to review the As­ sociation’s activity structure and propose such changes as ap p eared n eed ed to b rin g it into accord w ith th e likely dem ands of its second century of service to begin in 1990. V ice-p resid en t W e b e r ’s charge to this new “Committee on an Activity Model for 1990” was to conceptualize an activity program to help shape the directions of A ssociation effo rts in th e years im m ed ia tely ahead; to raise thereby the sights of ACRL mem­ bers, sections, and officers for A C R L ach iev e­ ment; and to stimulate membership interest and in v o lv em e n t in th e a d v a n ce m e n t o f th e Association. Persons appointed to the Com m ittee were Olive Ja m e s, D avid K a s e r, C arla S to ffle , W illiam Studer, and Julie Virgo. The C om m ittee’s first concern was to d eter­ mine what purpose or ends its “Activity Model” should be designed to attain. Finding no recent statement of Association goals and objectives that it could utilize, the Com mittee set about to de­ velop one through the use of a planning pyramid of objectives, shown here as Figure 2. In accord with this dialectic for planning, the Com m ittee began by reviewing both “environ­ mental considerations” and “internal characteris­ tics” (as shown at the top o f the pyramid) which could be expected to affect Association fortunes during th e com ing decade. T hey are given as Sections II and I I I of this Report. Taking those factors into account, the Com m ittee then drafted a statem ent of “M ission’’ and “Goals” which it proposed to the m em bership in the May 1981 issue of C &RL News. After appropriate revision of the statem ent, the Com mittee fashioned a set of “O bjectives” to fit the Goals, and it now com­ mends all three parts (e .g ., Section I I I of this Report) to the Board of D irectors for possible adoption. The Com mittee then set to work on its main charge to develop an Activity Model for meeting these purposes. It reviewed all past and present activities of A C RL, as well as a wide range of additional p o ssib ilities for action, and it co n ­ cluded that the best model possible would be a modification o f A C R L’s present program. In its judgm ent, the Association would be able to meet these goals successfully and carry a strong pro­ gram into its second century if, in addition to such present activities as are not affected by this Report, A CRL were also to address the new ac­ tivities enumerated in Section IV. Although that list also suggests possible appropriate action for each item therein, the Com mittee recommends that the Board refer the entire list to the Plan­ ning Com m ittee for item-by-item review and rec­ ommendation. Resources may need to be consid­ ered, and priorities may have to be assigned, b e ­ fore it can be adopted, either in whole or in part. In conclu sion, th e C o m m ittee recom m ends that the Association adopt an identifying slogan or logo for this program. It presents Figure 1 for possible consideration. Librarianship Fig. 1.
