College & Research Libraries recently added 
two new members to the board of editors; Dr. 
H. Joanne Harrar, associate director of libraries 
at the University of Georgia, and Dr. Ann 
Painter, associate professor in the Graduate 
School of Library Science at Drexel University.

Dr. Harrar has held a variety of positions of 
steadily increasing responsibility since she re­
ceived her doctorate from Rutgers in 1962. Her 
first position was with Columbia University li­
braries, where she was first research assistant, 
and later assistant to the director. Leaving Co­
lumbia in 1963 after two years, she became li­
brarian and professor of library science at Win­
throp College, Rock Hill, South Carolina. Dur­
ing her seven years at Winthrop she was re­
sponsible for the programming, planning, and 
move into a new $2.25 million building com­
pleted in 1969. She joined the staff of the Uni­
versity of Georgia as associate director of li­
braries in January 1971.

Her professional activities have shown a con­
cern for state, regional, and national library 
problems. She has served with ACRL’s Audio- 
Visual Committee, the membership committee, 
and as a  consultant for the ACRL Grants Com­
mittee in 1967 and 1968 as well as a member 
o f the United States Office of Education’s Ad­
visory Committee on Library Research and 
Training Projects 1968-1971.

Dr. Painter comes to the board of editors 
with a somewhat different background. Though 
she too received her doctorate from Rutgers, 
her first position was with the National Bureau 
of Standards as a systems analyst. From this po­
sition she moved to the National Agricultural 
Library as a staff assistant in technical services, 
a position she held 1964—1965.

Her commitment since leaving the National 
Agricultural Library has been to library educa­
tion, first at Indiana University 1965-1970, and 
next at Drexel University where she is now an 
associate professor in the Graduate School of 
Library Science.

Her publishing and professional activities 
have shown a strong orientation to the field of 
information science and its problems. She has 
served on numerous committees in ALA, The 
American Society for Information Science, and 
the American National Standards Institute.

Their wide experience and diverse back­
grounds should add much to the board of editors
