ACRL News Issue (B) of College & Research Libraries 103 News From the Field A C Q U I S I T I O N S • Recent acquisitions of the immigrant ar­ chives of the University of Minnesota library include the records of the United Ukrainian American Relief Committee, a resettlement agency (ca. 1945–1960); the records of the Assembly of Captive European Nations (1954– current); the library, newspaper, and periodical collections, and the “proletarian” dramas of the Työmies Society, a Finnish leftist publishing society of Superior, Wisconsin (ca. 1903–cur­ rent); the papers of Rachel Davis DuBois, a pioneer in intercultural education (ca. 1933– 1957); and the papers of Germoglino Saggio, Italian-American poet (ca. 1911–1969). • A ledger containing minutes of one of the oldest black benevolent societies in the country has been added to the rare book collection of the College of Charleston, Charleston, South Carolina. The volume was discovered during the resto­ ration of an ante-bellum dwelling recently ac­ quired by the college. It contains the minutes of the Brown Fellowship Society (later the Century Fellowship Society) from 1896–1911. • The Library of Herbert H. Lehman Col­ lege of the City University of New York has acquired a complete collection of the writings of Wright Morris. Born in Central City, Nebras­ ka, in 1910, he is widely regarded as one of America’s most gifted living novelists. The character of the plains and its people is a re­ curring theme in many of his novels, which are concerned with the persistence of the past in the light of the changing and mercurial present. Mr. Morris is a Guggenheim fellow and the re­ cipient of the National Book Award in 1957 for his novel The Field of Vision. F E L L O W S H IP S • The Council on Library Resources’ Fellowship Program is again seeking appli­ cations from and nominations of candidates for its approximately thirty fellowships or intern­ ships available to United States and Canadian CORRECTION College & Research Libraries issue num­ bers on the February-April 1973 CRL News issues should read: Febimary— CRL, vol. 34, no. 1; March—CRL, vol. 34, no. 2; April—CRL, vol. 34, no. 2. librarians in the academic year 1974–75. The program, which was initiated in the fall of 1969 to enable mid-career librarians to improve their competence in the substantive, administra­ tive, and/or technical aspects of their profes­ sion, has resulted in seventy-eight fellowships to date, with approximately thirty new awards to be announced in early April. The CLR Fellowship Program attempts to enh ance the profession by providing librarians with opportunities similar to the traditional sab­ baticals enjoyed by college faculty. Council Fellows devote a minimum of three months and a maximum of nine months to projects or in­ ternships of their own choosing. The Fellow’s employer provides the sabbatical (time off and salary); the council pays the approved ex­ penses. In reviewing applications, which must be completed and in the hands of the Council Fel­ lowship Committee no later than Nov. 1, 1973, the committee will place emphasis on the thought and care given to development of the proposed program of study, investigation, train­ ing, or internship as well as on the candidate’s professional qualifications. The 1974–75 awards will be announced in April 1974. MISSING ISSUES CAUSING YOU PROBLEMS? Check into TEMPLOKT.M.

G R A N T S • Washington State Library has received a $25,000 Council on Library Resources’ offi­ cer’s grant toward continued development of its state-wide computerized library network. The council funds, together with $20,000 from Washington State, are earmarked for develop­ ment of specifications for the library network’s on-line acquisitions module. Washington State University library and the Washington State Li­ brary will work closely with the state’s library community in developing these specifications. Once the specifications are determined, existing automated acquisitions systems—including that operating at Washington State University—will be evaluated before a decision is made to adopt one of them or to design a new one. The Washington State Network, proposed in 1967 “to promote increased sharing of re­ sources by libraries, particularly of different kinds and with different area jurisdictions … and to expand the availability of library materi­ als to every resident in the state,” has shown steady progress in carrying out its aims. In a pilot project recently completed on schedule, for example, a register of titles received in a three-month period by seven major libraries was printed with author, title, and subject in­ dex for distribution. • The New England Board of Higher Edu­ cation has been awarded a grant by the Na­ tional Science Foundation to develop a North­ east Academic Science Information Center (NASIC). The project will take three years to complete and the present grant, which is for $355,500, covers the first year costs. In an­ nouncing the grant, Dr. Alan D. Ferguson, ex­ ecutive director of the board, indicated that a substantial part of the project would be under­ taken by personnel at the Massachusetts Insti­ tute of Technology under terms of a subcon­ tract. The project has taken over a year to plan and has been developed in conjunction with mem­ bers of the New England Library Information Network (N E L IN E T ), another board spon­ sored program. It is part of an effort to more effectively utilize computer technology in the interests of scientific research. The general ob­ jective of the project is to create a regional agency which will provide rapid access to and effective utilization of major science information sources which are machine-readable and need­ ed by science research personnel. Existing in­ formation processing centers throughout the na­ tion will be fully utilized, as will computer fa­ cilities at these and at regional academic sci­ ence research institutions. The planned system will establish a computerized text and informa­ tion processing service for the science research institutions in the northeastern United States. Techniques will be developed to improve and support the role of the academic library as a mediator between the user and the computer­ ized science information sources which will be used and developed. Special emphasis will be given to the devel­ opment of methods for promoting cooperative working relationships between regional academ­ ic research institutions, libraries, and the science information centers in the nation. The New En­ gland Board of Higher Education will also de­ velop an extensive marketing and training pro­ gram to promote understanding and widespread use of the services which will be made avail­ able by the project. Dr. Ferguson indicated that there will be a relationship between this project and the Na­ tional Science Network which has been pro­ posed by the National Science Foundation. He noted also that although the foundation has al­ ready initiated science information centers throughout the nation at major institutions, the NASIC project is the first effort to do this on a regional basis. When fully operative, a pri­ mary NASIC function will be to act as a re­ gional switching center integrating the many diverse science information centers in the na­ tion and the academic libraries with their science research clientele. The NASIC project will offer large econo­ mies in science costs in comparison with those necessary in the operation of several distinct in­ stallations at individual institutions. In addition to this benefit, the project will provide orienta­ tion for science research personnel in the values and mechanics of the system, and the training of special reference librarians in the use of machine-readable bibliographic services. It is planned that within three years the procedures, training, and services will be integrated into a fully operational center.

Following the summer 1973 ALA Conference at Las Vegas, Stanford University libraries will conduct a two day seminar at which partici­ pants will hear papers relating to the technical, personnel, financial, and administrative aspects of BALLOTS, Stanford’s operational on-line au­ tomated library system. BALLOTS is an acro­ nym for Bibliographic A utomation of L arge L ibrary Operations using a Timesharing Sys­ tem. BALLOTS was begun in 1967 through grants from the Office of Education and has re­ ceived continuing support from the University itself as well as a recent grant equally funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities and the Council on Library Resources. BALLOTS is a comprehensive technical proc­ essing system th at supports searching, acquisi­ tion, cataloging, and end processing through the use of CRT terminals installed in the li­ brary. Time will be provided to give visitors “hands on” experience and the chance to ob­ serve all features and outputs of the implement­ ed BALLOTS system. The seminar is intended to introduce BALLOTS to all interested mem­ bers of the library community; it is expected that the seminar will be of interest to library administrators, systems designers, programming managers, and library educators. It is not in­ tended as a tutorial in the field of information science. There is enough space to accommodate up to 125 attendees. Persons desiring to attend are requested to register in advance by sending the registration fee to Financial Office, Stanford University Libraries, Stanford, CA 94305.

It is not known at this point when a decision will be handed down. • Felix E. Hirsch, who recently retired as librarian and professor of History at Trenton State College, was awarded the Commander’s Cross of the Order of Merit by the German Federal President. • A new professional organization for area specialists has been formed. The Middle East Librarians’ Association was established in November 1972, by librarians attending the sixth annual meeting of the Middle East Stud­ ies Association in Binghamton, New York. By­ laws drafted by a committee selected the pre­ vious year were adopted and the following of­ ficers elected: President—Bruce Craig (Univer­ sity of Minnesota), Vice-President—George Atiyah (Library of Congress), Secretary-Trea­ surer—Martha Dukas (Harvard University), and Editor—James Pollock (Indiana Universi­ ty). The new association plans to meet at least annually, in conjunction with the Middle East Studies Association. It also intends to publish a journal with articles, reviews, and news items of interest to area specialist librarians.

It has been adopted by many other librarie throughout the country as a most convenient an satisfactory method of organizing and arrangin collections of government publications. “There have been three checklists of governmen publications.. . . The third, which was much mor inclusive and a monumental work of incalculabl value covering the entire period of United State publications to 1909 . . . was published in 1911. “A fourth edition, bringing the third edition to date is the aid to government publications most needed b the librarians.” TO: U.S. Historical Documents Institute 1647 Wisconsin Ave., N.W., Wash., D.C. 20007 Please record our order for: □ The Dual-Media, C hecklist o f U nited States P ublic Documents, 1789-1970.

As stated by Carper W. Buckley, who until his retirement in 1970 had served as U.S. Superin­ tendent of Documents since 1953. "Checklist ’70 provides librarians with the most comprehensive single source of published information about United States Government documents. It lists all titles which appear in the shelf lists of the Public Documents Library of the U.S. Government Printing Office, covering the period 1861 through October 1970. Also included are the publications listed in the Checklist o f U.S. Public Documents, 1789-1909, the Monthly Catalog and Mary Elizabeth Poole’s Docu­ ments Office Classification to 1966. ” Each citation is at least as complete as the entries in the Monthly Catalog and often provides more infor­ mation. For instance, bibliographic data on each issue of certain periodicals are included, as well as com­ plete cross-references for changes in classification numbers, titles, or issuing agencies. Cutterized sepa­ rates are listed for some series publications. IN BOUND VOLUMES – NOW A V A IL A B L E FOR IN D IV ID U A L PURCHASE These five full size indexes to the microfilm collection are now being supplied as part of the dual media edition and are also for the first time being made available as individual volumes. All but Index IV were computer generated and were compiled by Mr. and Mrs. Daniel and Marilyn Lester o f Mankato State College in Minnesota. INDEX I.

U.S. GOVERNMENT AUTHOR-ORGANIZATION INDEX, 1789-1970 arranged alphabetically by the official names of 6000 active and inactive publication-issuing offices.

U.S. GOVERNMENT SERIAL TITLES, 1789-1970 Note: This index volume has been substantially expanded in size and scope since our initial announcement. It now contains not only an alphabetical listing of 18,000 current and discontinued serial titles contained in the Serials card File o f the Public Documents Library (with their SDC numbers and microfilm reels), but also their bibliographic histories and other annotations. This additional information was obtained by checking each title against the microfilm copies of the shelf list cards in both the active and inactive files. casebound $52.50 INDEX V. KEYWORD INDEX TO THE PUBLICATION-ISSUING OFFICES OF THE U.S. GOVERNMENT, 1789-1970 Note: This computer generated index was recently added to the 4 originally offered with Checklist ’70, in order to provide a form o f subject access to the massive collection. It lists the 6000 Government “issuing offices” under some 27,000 subject oriented keyword entries. Because o f the unusual length and descriptive nature of the names of U.S. Government offices, this keyword index provides a surprising degree of subject access. The fact that each “issuing office” is listed under an average of 4.5 descriptive entries (even after the exclusion of such general words as “bureau”, “committee” , etc.), attests to the effectiveness o f the index. SDC numbers and reel numbers are repeated in each entry. casebound $52.50 IMMEDIATE DELIVERY ON ALL ITEMS Note: New subscribers to FY-1973 Updating Service will receive a free set of Cumulative Supplement No. 2 (Oct. 1970-June 1972) for temporary use until Nos. 3 & 4 are delivered. 114 MELA aims to increase communication and cooperation among members, especially in ac­ quisitions and in development of bibliographic controls. The group plans to compile and dis­ seminate information about Middle East library collections. Another goal is to improve the qual­ ity of area librarianship th rough the develop­ ment of standards for the profession and educa­ tion of Middle East librarians. MELA hopes to promote research in indexing and the applica­ tion of automated techniques to Middle East­ ern material. Membership in MELA is open to librarians and others interested in library activities which support the study and dissemination of infor­ mation about the Middle East and North Africa since the rise of Islam.

This 200-page book, de­ signed for doctoral students in librarianship and for practicing librarians, is intended to pre­ sent the basic principles by which research can be done in librarianship. It is available for $3.00 from Illini Union Bookstore, 715 S. Wright St., Champaign, IL 61820. • UCLA library announces completion of the microfilming of two major bi-lingual Jap­ anese newspapers. As a result of the project, the UCLA library now holds the most complete files in existence of Rafu Shimpo (the Los An­ geles Japanese Daily News, 1914–1970) and Kashu Mainichi (the California Daily News, 1931–1968). Both papers have long served as leading news media for the Japanese-American commu­ nity in California. Originally published only in Japanese, both now print English language sections as well, as many younger members of the community do not read Japanese. The two papers attract the largest readership of any Japanese-American newspapers in the United States. Funds for the microfilming project were made available through UCLA’s Asian Ameri­ can Studies Center. Akira Komai, publisher of Rafu Shimpo, and Hiro Hishiki, publisher of Kashu Mainichi, gave permission to UCLA for the filming and have granted the university the rights to sell positive copies of the films. • The American Society for Information Science announces that a free, introductory is­ sue of a newsletter on cable communications for librarians will be mailed to approximately 10,000 potential subscribers on or about April 15, 1973. Based on the response to this first is­ sue, ASIS will decide whether or not there is sufficient interest to warrant continuance of the publication. A minimum of 750 subscribers is anticipated before proceeding with regular pub­ lication (six issues yearly; $15 annual subscrip­ tion fe e ). At a recent institute on cable television for librarians, attendees expressed a desire for a newsletter-type publication which would inform librarians of the current developments in cable communications and would also provide a medium for dialogue between those librarians faced with local problems and others who might suggest solutions. Mrs. Kenney will be one of three editors of the proposed newsletter; the others are Margaret I . Cleland (Connecti­ cut State Library) and Merry Sue Smoller (University of Wisconsin). Content of the pro­ posed newsletter will include such topics as: status of cable in selected local libraries, status of regulatory (federal, state, and local) activi­ ties, library participation in planning for cable and administration of channels, the library’s role in community organization for cable, li­ brary programming and other utilization of ca­ ble networking, technology developments ( hardw are), software production and exchange, institutes and workshops on cable for librarians, annotated bibliographies. Libraries and librarians and others desiring to receive a copy of the free, introductory issue of the newsletter on cable communications for librarians are asked to write to the Publications Division, American Society for Information Sci­ ence, 1140 Connecticut Ave., NW, Washington, DC 20036; telephone 202/659-3644. • The October 1972 Drexel Library Quar­ terly presents the issues, examines them, and clarifies the legal complexities of the “Copy­ right Controversy.” Copies may be obtained for $3.00 each from the office of the Drexel Library Quarterly, Graduate School of Library Science, Drexel University, Philadelphia, PA 19104. • The ninth in an annual series of confer­ ences on library applications of data processing. Proceedings of the 1972 Clinic on Library Ap­ plications of Data Processing; Application of On-Line Computers to Library Problems, has recently been published. The volume was edit­ ed and introduced by F. Wilfrid Lancaster, professor, Graduate School of Library Science, University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. The papers in this volume include information on a wide range of applications, and discussion of applications in libraries of various types and sizes.
