Present: Louise Darling, Chairman; Howard 
Rovelstad, Vice-Chairman (Chairm an E lect); 
Thomas Gillies, Chairman, Subject Specialists 
Section; Richard T. Samuelson, Member, 
1969/70 Nominating Committee; Anna E. 
Dougherty, Secretary. Pauline W . Jennings, 
Immediate Past Chairman was unable to at­

The Agriculture and Biological Sciences 
Subsection Executive Committee held its Mid­
winter meeting on Thursday, January 30, 1969, 
from 4:30 until 6:00 p.m. in Club Room C of 
the Shoreham Hotel in Washington, D.C.

The Chairman expressed her pleasure in hav­
ing Mr. Gillies, Section Chairman, present at 
the meeting. Mr. Samuelson gave th e report 
of the 1969/70 Nominating Committee. The 
Chairman reported for th e Oberly Award 
Committee since Mr. Fleming Bennett, Com­
mittee Chairman, had to leave the Midwinter

Meeting early. It is possible th at no award 
will be given this year due to the lack so far 
of impressive candidates. If an award is given, 
it will be presented on June 25 at the Pro­
gram meeting in Atlantic City.

The Atlantic City meeting will be a joint 
meeting of the Section and the Subsection. 
I t was decided that the Section business meet­
ing should be held first. Then the Subsection 
business meeting, and Award if given, will take 
place prior to the Program meeting. Discus­
sion followed concerning the estimated at­
tendance in order to arrange for a meeting 
room. It was agreed that advance notification 
of the meeting would appear in the A C R L 
N ew s and th at flyers would be mailed to the 
entire Section membership. Announcements 
would be sent to the Bulletin M L A, Special 
Libraries and possibly to AHIL.

Louise Darling indicated that Mr. John 
Sherrod, Director of the National Agricultural 
Library, who will be the speaker at the At­
lantic City Joint meeting will be invited 
to have cocktails informally with the Subsec­
tion Executive Committee and the chairmen of 
the two Committees after the joint meeting. 
She will try to set the Subsection Executive 
Committee for Thursday May 26 at 4:30 p.m.

LIBRARY UNIONIZATION 
STUDY

Professor Archie Kleingärtner and Ted Guy­
ton of the Graduate School of Business Ad­
ministration, University of California, Los An­
geles, are currently gathering information for 
an extensive study of unionization and col­
lective bargaining among professional librarians. 
Because of th e dearth of published materials 
available on this topic, they would be deeply 
grateful to hear from any person directly in­
volved in library union activity or who has in­
formation on the topic. It is planned th a t the 
study will result in a monograph length his­
tory of the topic which will be of interest both 
to students of labor and to professional li­
brarians. All inquiries and correspondence may 
be addressed to Archie Kleingärtner, Assistant 
Professor of Industrial Relations, Graduate 
School of Business Administration, University 
of California, Los Angeles, California 90024.
