Publications N O T I C E S • A new publication for library instruction was recently published by the Academic L i­ brary of St. Mary’s University of San Antonio. Entitled Introduction to B ib liography: A H an d b o ok , this 100-page book, tailored for a university collection of moderate size, is the basic text for the one-hour, individualized- instruction course being conducted by the aca­ demic librarians at St. Mary’s University. The H an d bo ok was adapted from the handbook of University of California, Davis, Shield Library. Extensive revisions of such units as government documents and serials, and the addition of two units, “Our Heritage in Rooks and Libraries” and “Media,” have expanded the H a n d b o o k to fulfill the goals of the St. Mary Academic L i­ brary instruction program. The basic goals for the library instruction program are to develop an awareness of the purpose of the college library and its variety and dimensions of learning resources, to devel­ op skill in systematic research methodology, and to become confident in using libraries. Cost of the new publication is $6.50. Pay­ ment must accompany request and be made payable to St. Mary’s University Bookstore.

The South Central Research Library Council is a nonprofit corporation chartered by the Uni­ versity of the State of New York Education Department for the purpose of improving refer­ ence and research library services in the four­ teen counties of Allegany, Broome, Cayuga, Chemung, Chenango, Cortland, Delaware, Otsego, Schuyler, Seneca, Steuben, Tioga, Tompkins, and Yates and to promote interli­ brary cooperation in the use of such resources. S C R L C also publishes a free monthly newslet­ ter called S C R L C R eports. • T he April 1977 L ib r a r y T ren d s is entitled T ren ds in th e S cholarly U se o f L ib ra r y R e ­ sources. D. W . Krummel is the editor of this issue, which deals specifically with particular kinds of library materials and with library use of those materials. Contributors to this issue approach their topics from varying angles; to­ gether the papers reflect some of the important trends, particularly with regard to the research library. The first two papers concentrate on printed books, while the others are devoted to the non­ book areas. Howard W inger writes of the schol­ arly use of Renaissance printed books, and G. Thomas Tanselle follows with a discussion of library service to all kinds of bibliographical work. The papers that deal with nonbook ma­ terials include a study of the research uses of visual information, a detailed analysis of the more recent resources and research on popular 3 1 5 culture, an explanation of what kinds of maps are available and to whom, and a description of the field of musicology and the resources available in music libraries. Allan Bogue de­ scribes the computer data base as a kind of library material in its own right and as an im­ portant source of historical data to many schol­ ars doing research in a variety of fields. In the final paper, a library administrator discusses the other papers in terms of the implications for li­ brary management policies and practices. L ib r a r y T ren d s is available from the Univer­ sity of Illinois Press, Urbana, I L 6 1 801. Single copies may be purchased for $4; subscriptions on a volume-year basis are also available from the same address for $15. • T he University of California has released a master plan for the libraries of its nine cam ­ puses. E ntitled T h e U niversity o f C a lifo r n ia L i ­ b r a r ie s : A P la n f o r D e v e lo p m e n t , the document defines policies and strategies for the develop­ m ent of the libraries during a ten-year period from 197 8 to 1988. T he most significant recommendation of the plan is that the libraries on each campus be considered part of a university-wide system, linked together by various means. Among the means discussed in the plan are an on-line public catalog that would enable users through­ out the university to refer, through terminals, to bibliographic information on the collections as a whole; interconnected computerized circu­ lation systems on all campuses; continuation of an intercampus bus system that links th e four campuses in the northern part of the state and the five in the south; and establishment of two regional com pact shelving facilities for little- used materials. Other sections of the plan discuss the need for new approaches to library service; the con­ cept of immediacy of need as a basis for differ­ ent levels o f service; improvement of reference and instructional services; use o f the Voigt formula for determining acquisitions needs; staffing implications, particularly in connection with automation; and analyses of various m eth­ ods of coping with library space problems. A limited number of copies of the plan are available at $5 per copy from the Office of the Executive D irector of University wide Library Planning, Room 63 5 University Hall, Universi­ ty of California, Berkeley, CA 9 4 7 2 0 . Checks should be made payable to T he Regents of the University of California. • For a report on the innovative programs of a leading library cooperative network, send a self-addressed stamped, 6/2-by-9K-inch ( or long) letter-sized envelope to M E T R O , 11 W est 40th Street, New York, NY 10018.

T h e 1976 survey is now com ing to a conclu­ sion and the institutional data should be ready in the next six months. T h e 1977 survey form was sent out in August 1977. • W hile there is increasing recognition of nonprint materials as research tools, the prob­ lem of making full use of these resources re­ mains a primary challenge at many academic research libraries for the foreseeable future, according to a new S P E C K it and F ly er pub­ lished by the Office of University Library M an­ agement Studies ( O M S ) of the Association of Research Libraries ( A R L ). In te g r a tio n o f N on prin t M e d ia ( F l y e r a n d K it 33 ) is the result of a survey of twenty-seven A R L mem ber libraries conducted by the Systems and Procedures Exchange Center ( S P E C ) . T he phone interviews indicate that audiovisual materials are bein g integrated into research library collections to a lesser degree than into two-year or undergraduate institution libraries. T h e nature of the institution appears to be a m ajor determinant in the development of nonprint media programs, with the strongest collections occurring at universities whose mis­ sions are, in a relative sense, directed more to­ ward instruction than research. T h e 2-page S P E C F ly e r discusses factors in ­ fluencing nonprint media integration, types and uses of library media programs, processing pro­ cedures and policies, and future trends. T h e accompanying K it contains seventeen docu­ ments from A R L libraries totaling 1 08 pages. E ig h t documents describe media programs and services, five documents deal with acquisition and processing policies, and four are concerned with budget requests and planning activities. Requests for F ly e r a n d K it 3 3 should b e sent to: Office of University L ibrary Managem ent Studies, Association of R esearch Libraries, 1527 New Hampshire Ave., N .W ., W ashington, D C 2 0 0 3 6 .

The Historic American Buildings Survey (H A B S) began in 1933 when the Na­ tional Park Service employed architects, drafts­ men, and photographers under several federal relief programs to compile a graphic record of the nation’s historic buildings. This was the first major step by the federal government toward the cataloging and preservation of historic structures. Many of the buildings in the survey have since been destroyed. The National Park Service entered into an agreement with the American Institute of Architects and the Library of Congress in 1934 to conduct the survey on a permanent basis. Under this agreement, the National Park Ser­ vice administers the planning and operation of the survey with funds appropriated by Con­ gress and supplemented by gifts from individ­ uals, foundations, and associations. The Library of Congress preserves the records, makes them available for study, and supplies reproductions through its Photoduplication Service. The American Institute of Architects provides pro­ fessional counsel through its national member­ ship. All drawings made of selected historical structures in the fifty states, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, and the Canal Zone are included in the microfilm. The complete edition consists of sixty-six reels of 35mm silver halide, safety base microfilm and can be purchased for $690, postage included. Electrostatic (Xerox Copyflo) prints (reduced in size and thus convenient for filing) of the entire collection may be pur­ chased for $3,975. The drawings are grouped and filmed by state. Microfilm or electrostatic copies of the individual state collections may be purchased individually. Full-size reproduc­ tions of positive blue line or black line diazo type prints, photodirect prints, and photo­ graphic prints are also available. Further information may be obtained from the Prints and Photographs Division, Library of Congress, Washington, DC 20540. Orders for the items mentioned above should be sent to the Library of Congress Photoduplication Service, Washington, D C 20540. Checks should accompany orders and should be made payable to the Library of Congress Photoduplication Service. • The BA LLOTS Center has produced the 317 first videotape in a proposed series for use in training library staff using the BA L LO TS ( Bib­ liographic Automation of Large Library Opera­ tions using the Time-sharing System) system.

Fry, Herbert S. White, and Elizabeth L. Johnson— Graduate Library School, Indiana University. The report tabulates and analyzes responses to two questionnaires returned by 531 (out of 1,672) profit and nonprofit publishers of 974 (out of 2 ,552) United States scholarly and re­ search journals. Of the responding journals, 89 percent are regularly copyrighted, but copy­ right-office records indicate that only some 60 percent of the nonresponding journals are regis­ tered for copyright. Scholarly and research jour­ nals are defined in the same manner as in the earlier Fry and W hite report: A Study o f S ch ol­ arly an d R esea rch Journals (March, 1 9 7 6 ). The two questionnaires inquired, among other things, about present practices and anticipated future practices after the new copyright law (P . L. 94-553) comes into effect on January 1, 1978, with respect to supplying of authorized copies directly or through agents or clearing­ houses, permitting photocopying beyond the exceptions provided in the new statute, and acceptable prices for authorized article photo­ copying or the supplying of authorized photo­ copies. Tabulations of responses are by circula­ tion size, subject matter, and publisher types. The data base from which these reported data were extracted will continue to be main­ tained at the Research Center of the Indiana University Graduate Library School.
