ACRL News Issue (B) of College & Research Libraries 36 / C &RL News BI Report Carolyn K irken dall Project LO EX One of the responsibilities of the bibliographic instruction liaison officer is to target journals in higher education and in specific discipline areas that seem appropriate and accessible for publish­ ing Bl-related articles. For specifics on rules for submission of articles in the following general jour­ nals, authors may contact me at the address listed below: A cad e m e .

His report on the humanities-related journals identifies 36 journals, ranked according to the possibility of including an article on the instruc­ tional role of libraries, out of a total of 1,307 which he surveyed. Kenney continues to identify journals in the sciences and social sciences areas with the same goal in mind, and his findings will eventually be published. His work will be of great help to those who will write on bibliographic instruction and are eager to communicate the teaching service role libraries can provide to faculty and adminis­ trators in higher education. Work on submitting proposals for speeches and presentations by librarians continues. Elaine Jen­ nerich of Baylor University has considered a pre­ sentation to be submitted at the Academy of Man­ agement for its 43d Annual National Meeting in August. Librarians with advanced degrees in man­ agement and business and with BI experience are encouraged to contact me so that we can build a workable cadre for future proposals. October will bring us the joint U.S./Canadian Annual Meeting in Toronto , with its them e, "North American Higher Education: Shaping the Future.” A proposal has been submitted for consid­ eration titled, "Integrating Libraries into the Edu­ cational Mainstream: The Challenge to Instruct and Support.” Word is pending on its acceptance. Participants would be Carolyn Murray, coordina­ tor of user instruction at the Robarts Research L i­ brary of the University of Toronto: Joe Boissé, di­ rector of Temple University Libraries: and Gerry Meek, coordinator of library instruction at the Uni­ versity of Waterloo. Your assistance is needed to continue compiling the "press kits” of sample materials, handouts, and research guides to the literature of subject disci­ plines (described in C &R L News. January 1983). Each folder contains an explanation of our project, material on the role of the library in higher educa­ tion and on the necessity for BI service, a short reading list, and sample copies of library-produced handouts. Disciplines we are currently compiling folders for include sociology, psychology, fine arts, sci­ ences, education, history, political science, and language and literature. We would be delighted to F ebru a ry 1983 / 37 receive your permission and copies of handouts to include in our folders. Your suggestions on perti­ nent articles from professional journals are also welcome. For a SASE, 1 will supply samples of reading lists already completed. T he results of contacting the directors of A RL li­ braries for suggestions on staff members who have advanced subject degrees and B I expertise have been gratifying. O ur project needs to identify those of you who are w illing to w rite proposals and/or participate as a panelist, reactor, m oderator, or speaker. W e w ill m atch the appropriate volunteers with the disciplines and attempt to promote our potential to these associations for their conference agendas. Our project is based on the conviction that this country's libraries have among their staff members many who would be excellent participants in this p roject, which furthers our goal of publicizing the instructional role that libraries fill in the mission of our in stitu tio n s o f hig h er le a rn in g . — C a r o l yn K ir k e n d a ll.

O ctober 1980). I can confirm my disappointment. T h e present guidelines lack the im pact that the draft guidelines had: the evalu­ ative checklist in the draft provided my library with concrete items that were readily presentable to the college administration. Their quantitative measurement of the quality of extended campus li­ brary service spoke directly to the administrators on the crucial topics of finances, personnel, facili­ ties, resources, and services. At a tim e when state and regional accrediting agencies are scrutinizing more closely extended campus programs, librarians must possess a strong evaluation tool that allow's accurate measurements of a program ’s quality, yet is easily understandable to non-librarians. Although the draft guidelines w ere by no means p erfect, they w ere certainly pointed in the right direction. T he revised guide­ lines lack the cogency needed by the library profes­ sion and program evaluators to judge extended campus library services.— M an u el S a n u d o .

The step was ta k e n , acco rd in g to O C L C president Rowland C . W . Brown, as part of a "broad , educa­ tional program being undertaken by O C L C and the members to ensure the integrity of the database as well as its appropriate and responsible use in keeping with the mutual rights and obligations of its m embers.” B eginning the w eek o f D ecem b er 2 7 . 1982, copyright notices have appeared on the online sys­ tem ’s log-on message and on various O C L C prod­ ucts derived from the database including O C L C - M ARC Su b scrip tio n Se rv ice T ap es, Accession Lists, and Union Lists of Serials. Under the federal copyright law databases are equally entitled to copyright protection w hether they are in printed hard copy form or fixed in an electrom agnetic me­ dium. The O C L C Users Council Task Force on Re­ sponsible Use of the O C L C System has identified a number of practices by some members and third parties that are detrimental to the continuing value of the database. T he Task Force recommended the development of tightened contractual provisions and new pricing mechanisms as a partial remedy. All contracts now in effect between O C L C and the networks, members, and users will be deemed to include licenses under the copyright as necessary to permit the exercise of all rights granted under such contracts. O ther practices not currently au­ thorized either by contract or the fair use doctrine w ill be considered for licensing by O C L C on terms to be negotiated from case to case including the grant of royalty-free rights when appropriate. ■ ■ Index Alert Having trouble locating that C o lle g e & R e­ se a rch L ib r a r ie s article on public-academ ic li­ brary cooperation that you read ten years ago?
