18 Working Librarians Receiving Awards under the 
Council on Library Resources Fellowship Program

Editor’s note: Applicants are currently being sought 
for 1971-1972 Fellowships. See the announcement 
in the Grants section of this issue.

Awards have been made to 18 working 
American librarians with demonstrated leader­
ship potential, the Council on Library Re­
sources has announced. The awards, for peri­
ods up to 12 months, cover travel, per diem, 
supplies and equipment incident to a Fellow’s 
project while he is on leave of absence from 
his institution. Awards are not made to those 
primarily concerned with working toward an 
advanced degree as this is outside the Fellow­
ship Program’s intent.

Council’s Board of Directors and Director 
Emeritus of the Folger Shakespeare Library,

er members are; William S. Dix, Librarian of

By the time you read this report of the 1970 
Title II-A (HEA) program of grants for li­
brary resources, you will have heard about 
your individual awards. The reduction of the 
appropriation from the expected $12,500,000 
to $9,816,000 made possible only 18.4787 per­
cent funding of the supplemental grants for 
which your libraries qualified.

Out of 2,309 applications for basic grants of 
$2,500, approximately 68 were disapproved. 
For supplemental grants, 1,910 applications 
were received and all those coming from insti­
tutions approved for basic grants were, of 
course, likewise approved. The amounts re­
quested in the supplemental applications to­
taled $24.6 million in addition to the basic 
grants requested, which totaled $5.7 million.

In scoring the supplemental applications it 
was gratifying to find that a few of you could 
no longer earn points on deficiency of volumes 
according to the minimum ALA standards for 
colleges and junior colleges. I am sure you are 
all trying to build up your media resources 
in addition to your volume count, however, so 
I know how disappointed you will be with the 
18.5 percent of the supplemental awards for 
which you were eligible.

We were pleased to be able to award basic 
grants this year for the first time to colleges 
and junior colleges opening by September 
1970. Judging from the many junior colleges 
in which the libraries are unable to meet 
minimum ALA standards in volume count for 
their enrollment even after several years of op­
eration, the need for starting with a good core 
collection is very evident. In some cases the 
rapidly increasing student bodies in the junior 
colleges have no more than one or two books 
apiece available in their library collections. In 
many cases, too, community colleges report

that they are sharing high school library col­
lections which are not adequate for post sec­
ondary curriculums.

Looking forward to the possibilities of fed­
eral support for higher education in 1971, you 
will find in the Congressional Record for 
March 25, page S4491-2, Senator Javits’ in­
troduction of the Higher Education Oppor­
tunity Act of 1970. On the previous day, 
March 24, page H2424-5, Congressman Quie 
introduced the same administration bill to the 
House, along with his own bill (H.R. 16622), 
the Higher Education General Assistance Act 
of 1970, a copy of which is available on re­
quest to your Congressman. The administra­
tion bill is H.R. 16621. The Senate bill is 
S. 3636, copies of which are available on re­
quest from your Senators. ■ ■
