College and Research Libraries


Notes from the A.C.R.L. Office 
The year 1952 will be unusual in the 

history of ACRL because of important 
commitments now made. Membership dis-
tribution of College and Research Libraries 
gambles on the expectation that increased 
membership and advertising revenue will 
eventually compensate for the loss of about 
$4,000.00 in subscription revenue. The in-
creased ALA dues will undoubtedly mean 
some drop in divisional income unless the 
ALA Executive Board agrees to lift the pres-
ent allotment ceiling of $6.oo for any single 
divisional membership, or to share its in-
creased income in some other manner with 
all the divisions. The first two issues of ACRL 
MONOGRAPHS are modest, and the future 
of this series depends entirely on demand. 
The Research Planning Committee, first 
convened last January, is off to a fresh start 
under Louis Kaplan and could lead the way 
to regular and important accomplishments. 
Our first local chapter has been established 
and will serve as a pilot model. The Pure 
and Applied Science Section now at last offers 
a place for useful service to all university 
librarians working in these fields. Several 
new committees were established in July and 
will make their first contributions shortly. 
A beginning has been made in the develop-
ment of research projects which will attract 
foundation support of college library prob-
lems. 

While college enrolments and many col-
lege library budgets suffered minor setbacks 
last fall, we are obviously on the threshold 
of a period of further expansion unless war 
intervenes. According to the 1948 report of 
the President's Commission on Higher Edu-
cation, the next decade may see nearly as 
large an expansion in higher education as the 
last decade. Few libraries are adequate for 
existing needs and any enrolment increases 
will entail either frantic building and ex-
pansion of staffs or tragic inadequacies in 
service rendered. 

The ACRL Committee on Administrative 
Procedures (formerly Budgets, Compensa-
tion, and Schemes of Service) has general 
responsibility for oversight of the financial 
problems and support of college libraries. 
Just what means it will take to encourage 

JANUARY~ 1952 

the better support of libraries has yet to be 
determined, and the Chairman Ralph H. 
Parker (Librarian, University of Missouri, 
Columbia) welcomes suggestions. We could 
attempt to work principally through ac-
crediting agencies, or directly with individual 
.institutions. We could work directly by 
complaint and specific charge, or indirectly 
by advertising minimum standards, by preach-
ing the role of libraries in the educational 
process, and by other hortatory measures. 
Whatever methods ar~ used, a large measure 
of judgment is needed in the selection of any 
institution which is to be pressed to improve 
its library facilities. 

The Duplicates Exchange Union has al-
most one hundred members regularly sending 
lists to each other. This cooperative entl!r-
prise for the exchange of duplicates has 
proved most useful to smaller college li-
braries, but all institutions are invited to 
]om. The new chairman is Miss Wixie E. 
Parker, Periodical Librarian, Duke Univer-
sity, Durham, North Carolina. 

The Buildings Committee has been re-
sponsible for a series of useful articles in 
College and Research Libraries. The chair-
man has lists of librarians qualified and 
willing to act as consultants to institutions 
planning a new library building. He does not 
recommend architects but will name buildings 
which have met with the general approval of 
the committee. Much of ·the usefulness of 
this group is in answering individual inquiries 
on building problems. Fancy being selected, 
as was Dr. Jesse of the University of Ten-
nessee; to go to Hawaii for a few weeks in 
the dead of winter as consultant on the new 
university library building to be built there! 

The conference on building problems, origi-
nally scheduled for November 1951, has been 
postponed until spring. This two/three day 
conference is planned for librarians with build-
ing problems. In attendance will be architects 
and experts from various allied fields. Any 
who are interested in ·attending should write 
to the Chairman, Dr. Robert H. Muller of 
Southern Illinois University, Carbondale. 

More and more libraries are reporting their 
statistics to the ACRL committee headed by 
Dr. G. Flint Purdy of Wayne University.

Space and typesetting costs limit the number 
that can be included in the published report, 
especially at this time when all costs are up. 

If the statistics were published as a sepa-
rate, a photographic process of reproduction 
from typewritten copy could be used in place 
of typesetting, every library reporting could 
be included, and modest publication costs met 
by the sale price of the publication (probably 
$1.00 or less). On the other hand, separate 
publication involves a separate buying and 
selling transaction, additional cost to most 
libraries, less handy referral to the statistics, 
and probably other disadvantages. There 
seems to be little doubt but what usefulness 
increases in proportion to the number of li-
braries included. Possible solutions to this 
vexing problem are solicited, as well as com-
ments on the statistics. . 

Several state associations collect the statis-
tics of all their college libraries. The Minne-
sota Library Association College Section is 
doing so for the first time, and their tables 
will be published in Minnesota Libraries. 
The ACRL statistical blanks were used for 
the gathering of information. 

While the ACRL Constitutio_n has always 
made provision for local, state, and regional 
chapters, only this fall has the first one been 
established. By a mail vote the Board of 
Directors approved a petition to recognize the 
ACRL Chapter for the Philadelphia area. 
Included is approximately the area covered 
by the Philadelphia Union Catalogue-most 
of eastern Pennsylvania, Delaware, and most 
of south Jersey. As anyone can tell from a 
quick glance at the ACRL Constitution 
(College and Research Libraries 9:1, p. 77), 
chapters have no financial obligations and are 
otherwise extremely independent. With num-
ber one now taken, where will our second 
chapter be? As careful readers of this column 
will remember, the Board voted in July that 
your Executive Secretary " ... encourage re-
gional chapters ... and ... give such positive 
aid as he can within his time and expense 

budget." 
ALA Headquarters now houses four di-

visional executive secretaries (for public li-
braries, children and young people, school 
libraries, and college and reference). For 
the first time all these divisions are on the 
new financial arrangement with ALA. The 
four of us who represent divisions have pro-
gressively conferred more and more together 
as we discovered the similarity of our indi-
vidual interests and problems. We have been 
able to reach agreement on practically all 
matters of mutual concern. 

As many members know, the College Li-
braries Section had a series of discussion 
groups at the Chicago Conference in place 
of the usual program of several speakers. 
The results or findings of the groups were 
reported by the discussion leaders at a short 
"general session." These findings represent 
the collective contributions of all those in at-
tendance and seem to be extremely valuable. 
Enthusiastic comments have come to me and 
to Miss Thornton from a number who at-
tended. Even though the arrangements for 
discussion groups present all sorts of space 
and time difficulties, other sections may wish 
to investigate this procedure. 

On an adjoining page is reproduced the 
condensed report of Thomas S. Shaw, ACRL 
Treasurer, with the 1951/52 budget as ap-
proved by the Board of Directors in July. 
The two documents were joined in order to 
conserve space. 

The report shows a deficit of slightly over 
two hundred dollars for the past year and the 
expectation of a considerable deficit for the 
year ahead, principally because of member-
ship distribution of College and Research 
Libraries. The Board of course hopes that 
distribution of the journal and other new ac-
tivities will increase the membership and 
therefore the income. Librarians could help 
tremendously in securing advertisements by 
mentioning the journal when placing orders.-
Arthur T. Hamlin, Executive Secretary. 

The following issues of College and Research Libr~ries are out of print. Copies no 
longer needed by readers will be very much appreciated at Headquarters and will be put to 
good use in completing files in libraries. Please send any you can spare to The A.C.R.L. 
Office, 50 E. Huron St., Chicago II, Ill.

College and University 
Library Statistics 

T
HE annual compilation of statistics has 
been speeded up this year in order to 

achieve publication in the January issue of 
College and Research Libraries instead of 
the April issue in which these figures have 
appeared in previous years. . It is hoped that 
this earlier reporting may enhance the use-
fulness of these statistics for librarians gen-
erally and for those who may make use of 
them in their own budget estimates in par-
ticular. As in former · years, the general 
statements concerning the statistics have been 
prepared largely by the librarians who com-
piled them. Statistics for Group I libraries 
were assembled by Dale Bentz of the Uni-
versity of Tennessee Library, for Groups II 
and III by Dan Graves, Preparations . De-
partment, University of Kansas Library, Law-
rence, Kansas, and for teachers colleges by 
Wen dell W. Smiley, librarian, East Carolina 
College. 

In order that users of the tables presented 
on the following pages may understand the 
objectives of the ACRL Statistics Committee 

- in collecting and publishing quantitative facts 
about college and university libraries, the 
Committee, through its chairman, ' Dr. G. 
Flint Purdy, librarian, Wayne University, 
has suggested that the following statement 
of purposes - may be helpful: 

1. The major purpose of the published 
tables is that of supplying ammunition 
by means of which librarians may im-
prove the status of their own libraries, 
primarily their budgets and salaries. 

2. An important additional purpose of the 
collection is to accumulate files of data 
for research purposes. This purpose is 
the reason for collecting statistics from 
many libraries not included in the pub-
lished list. 

3· In pursuit of these objectives, our mail-
ing lists are selected to constitute a 
random sample of college and university 
libraries, but the published tables are 
intended to emphasize conditions which 
approach standards rather than norms. 

· Each of the compilers has called attention 
to the increasing incidence of "confide~tial" 

or "unavailable" data which are not reported. 
Most frequently these figures relate to salary 
even though such information is among that 
most eagerly sought . by ACRL membership. 
Since the usefulness of the statistical tables 
is directly proportional to their completeness, 
it cannot be emphasized too strongly that li-
brarians who withhold information are de-
feating the purposes for which the statistics 
program was established. · In view of the 
mounting costs of these annual compilations, 
it is especially important that they be as com-
plete and as useful as it is possible to make 
them; in other words, a table made up largely 
of blank spaces (or marks of omission) is 
just as costly to reproduce as one which in-
cludes significant figures. Unquestionably 
the practice of . many larger libraries to mark 
as "confidential" or to withhold information 
about salary schedules or_ other factors in li-
brary service has influenced other libraries 
to follow suit. In each succeeding year this 
iron curtain becomes a more effective barrier 
to reasoned evaluat-ion of the progress of 
academic libraries and librarianship. Librari.:. 
ans are once more urged to reconsider their 
policies of withholding information called for 
and, wherever possible, to endeavor a return 
at least to former standards of completeness 
if not to improved ones instead of continuing 
to lose ground ·each year as more and more 
libraries fail to furnish data essential to 
effective statistics reporting. 

Statistics were received from only seventy-
nine institutions in Group I this year as 
compared with one hundred for 1949-50. This 
reduction in number of reporting libraries 
may have resulted from the earlier deadline 
date. However, the completeness of data 
included in individual reports seems not to 
have suffered because of the earlier deadline. 
Only one institution was omitted for failure 
to send in its report on time. Others have 
been omitted because of space limitations. 
Smaller libraries not included in previous 
years have also been omitted. 

Of the seventy institutions included, only 
fifty ( 71 per cent) were represented in last 
year's tables. Thirty-seven (53 per cent) of 

68 COLLEGE AND RESEARCH LIBRARIES 



these fifty have reported for four consecutive 
years. The present compilation includes seven 
libraries not previously included in Group I. 
For purposes of comparison and to show 
trends, continuity of reporting by the same 
institutions is highly desirable. It is to be 
hoped that future reports may reflect a higher 
incidence of continuity than has been possible 
heretofore. Special note should be made of 
the 1951-52 budget figures included in this 
year's report. 

For small colleges and universities (Groups 
II and III) library operating expenses rather 
than enrolment have been used as the basis for 
group divisions. Libraries which spent $31,000 
or more are included in Group II; those 

• which spent less than $31,000 in Group III. 
A total of 142 reports were received for these 
two groups as compared with 128 received last 
year. Lack of space, incomplete reporting, 
and late reports are among the reasons for 
using only fifty-nine reports in Group II and 
only seventy in Group III. 

Comparison with statistics for former years 
was attempted but because of the difference 
in bases for the compilations and the attendant 
variances, valid comparison was impossible 

without so many qualifying .statements as to 
make it impractical. It is felt, however, that 
the compilation as it stands will be useful to 
librarians who can make their own compari-
sons while considering the differences in li-
braries represented, and the ranges of operat-
ing expenses and size of student body. 

Medians were determined from the figures 
appearing without footnotes in the tables. 
Confidential figures were not considered. 

Only fifty-one reports had been received 
from teachers college libraries at the time 
tabulation was begun. This represents a 
marked decrease from last year when nearly 
seventy reports were used for the tabulations. 
A survey of this year's statistics indicates a 
steady growth in nearly all measures included 
in these tables. Staff salaries have increased 
consistently during the past year in spite of 
the decrease in student enrolment reported 
by nearly every institution. Indications are 
that staff size has not changed appreciably 
during the past year. The institutions in-
cluded in the published tables are arranged 
alphabetically by state.-Carlyle 1. FrareyJ

A.C.R.L. Initiates New Publication 
Because many fine manuscripts are crowded 

out of C&RL and other professional journals 
on account of space limitations, the ACRL 
Publications Committee has inaugurated a 
series of occasional papers known as ACRL 
MONOGRAPHS, which will appear at 
three or four month intervals. Format is in 
book-face multilith, with a cover designed 
by a well-known typographer. Issue No. I, 
which came out recently, is a study on Wil-
liam Beer, the famous New Orleans Librarian , 
by Joe W. Kraus, Librarian of Madison Col-
lege. Issue No. 2, just off the press, traces 
the growth of reference service in the U.S. 
from I876 to I893, and is by Louis Kaplan, 
associate librarian University of Wisconsin. 
A number of other provocative manuscripts 
are now being considered by the committee. 

Further manuscripts pertinent to all phases 
of academic and reference librarianship are 
now being sought. Authors need not be mem-
bers of ACRL, but, since the same editorial 
standards as have been set up for C&RL will 
be maintained, the approval of a manuscript by 

JANUARYJ 1952 

at least three members of the Committee is 
required before publication. The present 
members of the Committee are: Mrs. Francis 
B. Jenkins, David K. Maxfield,. Felix Reich-
man, Rolland E. Stevens, Colton Storm, 
Maurice F. Tauber, Clyde Walton, Jr., 
John C. Wyllie, and Lawrence F. Thompson, 
Chairman. Manuscripts submitted for their 
consideration should be addressed only to 
Chairman Thompson at the University oi 
Kentucky Library, Lexington, Kentucky. 

All issues will be separately priced, de-
pending on cost of manufacture, and may be 
ordered separately, although it is recom-
mended that standing orders be placed, if 
possible. Orders should be addressed only 
to the Business Manager, David K. Maxfield, 
at the Chicago Undergraduate Division of 
the University of Illinois Library, Chicago 
11, Illinois. The cost of issue No. 2 has 
been set at twenty-five cents and that of No. I 
at thirty-five cents, although it is likely that 
future issues may be somewhat less reason-
able.

JOSEPH T. HART has ·been appointed acting Librarian of For'dham University. In' this 
position he succeeds 
Mr. William J. 
Roehrenbeck, who has 
become assistant li-
brary director of the 
Jersey City Free 
Public Library Sys-
tem. Mr. Hart's 
appointment was ef-
fective as of N ovem-
ber 1. He will be 
in charge of all of 

Joseph T. Hart -Fordham's libraries 
with the exception of 

the Law Library. 
Mr. Hart had been the head of reader's

JOHN H. 0TTEMILLER, newly appointed As-sociate Librarian of Yale University Li-
brary, comes to his 
new position after 
wide and varied ex-
perience in university 
and research library 
service and adminis-
tration. Having ob-
tained his college 
education at Middle-
bury ( 1938) and his 
professional library 
training at Columbia 

John H. Ottemiller (1940), Mr. Otte-
miller worked for a 

while at Columbia and at the New York 
Public Library. 

Work on the administrative level began 
for Mr. Ottemiller with his appointment in 
1942 as Assistant to the Librarian of Brown 
University in charge of readers' services. 
While at Brown Mr. Ottemiller published his 
Index to Plays in Collections, 1900-1942 
(I 943) which has just been released in a new 
and enlarged edition. 

In 1944 Mr. Ottemiller went to Washing-
ton where he first served with the Office of 
Strategic Services and, since October 1945, 
with the Department of State. He leaves 
the Department with the title of Acting Chief 
of the Division of Library and Reference 
Services and Librarian of the Department of 
State. 

Throughout his professional career, Mr. 
Ottemiller's primary ,concern has been prob-
lems of bibliographic organization. With a 
thorough mastery of techniques, his position 
with OSS presented him with unusual oppor-
tunities to build up a government-wide biblio-
graphical service. At the Department of 
State, the organizational problems were much 
greater and considerably more complex. It 
was not only a matter of effecting a physical 
and a staff consolidation of a library of some 
400,000 volumes with a special documents 
collection of over 1,2oo,ooo items, but also of 
devising and elaborating bibliographical con-
trol procedures and service techniques appli-
cable to both. Cataloging procedures were 
reorganized to increase output by about so%, 
a bibliographical service was instituted which 
now serves all areas of the Department and 

84 COLLEGE AND RESEARCH LIBRARIES 



issues several publications of general research 
interest, and a more effective circulation and 
reference service was instituted. 

In addition to this, Mr. Ottemiller has 
found it possible to devot~ time also to other 
professional activities. In 1947, he represented 
the Department at the Conference of the 
International Federation of Documentation 
held in Bern, Switzerland, and for the past 
few years has been serving as Expert Ex-
aminer for intelligence specialists and librari-
ans with the Civil Service Commission. 

Mr. Ottemiller brings to his new position 
a mastery of techniques and a range of serv-
ice to research which augurs well for his new 
responsibilities.-A rthur B. Berthold.

Ne-ws from the Field 
The Library of Con-

Acquisitions, Gifts, gress recently acquired 
Collections thirty-two Maxim 

Gorki letters originally 
addressed to Vladislav Khodasevich, modern 
Russian poet. The letters, written during the 
years 1922-25, disclose that Gorki, now highly 
praised in Communist Russia as a patriot and 
defender of the Soviets, was not always as 
enthusiastic about the Regime as hitherto 
believed. 

During the 1920's Gorki preferred to live 
outside the Soviet Union, in Italy, Germany, 
and Czechoslovakia. Apparently he was en-
vious of the way of life of the southern 
Italians. Soviet censorship disturbed him. 
Letters and manuscripts addressed to him 
failed to reach him or were delayed. He be-
came embittered at having his own journal, 
B eseda, banned by the Moscow Government 
and he refused to contribute to Soviet peri-
odicals. 

The letters show that news coming from 
Russia depressed Gorki. The announ cement 
that a list of books including works of Plato, 
Kant, Schopenhauer, Taine, Nietzsche, and 
Tolstoi were to be suppressed in Russia, made 
him consider surrendering his Soviet citizen-
ship. The Library of Congress acquired , in 
addition, a typed transcript of the letters 
containing extensive annotations by Khodase-
vich , five letters from Gorki to the wife of 
the poet, and the manuscript of a lecture 
delivered by Khodasevich in Paris in 1938, 
which is devoted to his personal recollections 
of Gorki. 

A special collection of some eleven hundred 
quarto-sized volumes on copyright law, many 
of them compiled from original sources by the 
donor, has been presented to the Columbia 
University Libraries by Edwin P. Kilroe, 
former director of the Twentieth Century-
Fox Film Corporation and former District 
Attorney of New York County. 

Mr. Kilroe, a practicing attorney, assembled 
the bulk of the collection during his twenty-
one years' service as counsel to Twentieth 
Century-Fox. The collection is particularly 
rich in material on the performance rights of 

artists and literary and dramatic rights, both 
in this country and abroad. Some time will 
be required to complete the cataloging of the 
collection but it will be available for use in 
the near future. The copyright collection is 
merely the latest of Mr. Kilroe's gifts to the 
Columbia Libraries and it is doubtful if there 
is a collection of similar size and scope any-
where in the world outside of Hollywood. 
An earlier gift from Mr. Kilroe to the Co-
lumbia Libraries occurred in 1942 when he 
presented a collection totalling more than one 
hund.red and four thousand items concerning 
the history of Tammany Hall. 

The Northwestern University Library, 
Evanston, Illinois, has announced the acquisi-
tion of three collections of Africana containing 
more tpan two thousand volumes. The col-
lections are particularly strong in anthropology 
and deal chiefly with the Belgian Congo. The 
major portion of the collection stems from the 
personal library of M. Felix Fuchs, a former 
Governor of the Congo, and contains material 
not generally available through dealers. Per-
haps the most noteworthy single item is a 
complete set of the Annals Du M usee Du 
Congo B elge, Tervueran ( 1898 to 1940), 
which documents all phases of research in the 
Congo. Included in the collections are the 
Documentes I mprimes and Protocoles of the 
r884 Conference Africaine, some one hundred 
volumes dealing with African languages, im-
portant maps, Stanley memorabilia, and photo-
graphs of life and labor in Africa. 

The following extracts are quoted from a 
letter received from C. R. Jackson, Borough 
Librarian, Public Libraries Department, Hag-
gerston Library, 236 Kingsland Road, E. 2, 
England: 

"You may be aware that. the Shoreditch 
Public Libraries possess one of the finest col-
lections in Great Britain on furniture and 
related S'llbj ects such as the timber trade, 
woodworking, and upholstery. The catalogue 
of exhibits of museums and the catalogues of 
books on these subjects possessed by great 
Libraries, are especially valuable to us. It is 
believed that if American Librarians and 
Curators of museums were made aware of

the extensive nature of the collection, many 
would be prepared to supply these Libraries 
with copies of their own publications in this 
field, or with details of such of them as can-
not be supplied gratis."

Lectures in Librarian-

Univers.ity of Illinois during October 18 and 
19 on the subject, "English Books of the Nine.: 
teenth Century." Three distinguished scholars 
in English bibliography were appointed to the 
lectureship: John Carter, Director of Scrib-
ner's in London; Carl Weber, Roberts Pro-
fessor of English Literature in Colby College, 
Maine; and Gordon Rae, Head of the English

The Library School at the State Teachers 
College, Emporia, Kansas has inaugurated a 
combined master's degree program in library 
science. Under the new program, students 
with eight hours of library science as a pre-
requisite may take fifteen or sixteen hours of 
.course work in library science and five hours 
in a thesis seminar combined with ten hours 
in a subject field. The Master of Science 
degree, with a twenty-four hour major in 
library science, is awarded after the success-
ful completion of this program. 

Librarians in the 
Academic 
Community 

Full faculty status 
has been secured for 
the Librarian and As-
sociate Librarian of the 
United States Naval 

Postgraduate School at Annapolis, Maryland. 
"The Librarian now carries the rank, title and 
privileges of an As.sociate Professor and the 
Associate Librarian those of an Assistant Pro-
fessor. In the past the Librarian had been 
considered a faculty member and was granted 
the privileges pertaining thereto, but neither 
the title nor the rank was accorded him. 

Miss Thelma Brackett, Librarian of the 
University of New Hampshire reports that a 
statute covering various aspects of the posi-
tion of the library and its staff has recently 
been approved by the Faculty Senate and the 
Board of Trustees of the University of New 
Hampshire following a survey of that institu-
tion's Library by Dr. Stephen A. McCarthy.

During September, Yale University Press 
issued the first of Gertrude Stein's unpub-
lished manuscripts as well as another book 
that attempts to explain her writings. The 
Stein volume entitled, Two (Gertrude Stein 
and Her Brother) and Other Early Portraits 
supports her reputation for repetition of 
words. In describing her brother, Leo, Miss 
Stein wrote, "If he did something he did it 
and doing it he was doing it." The second 
book, written by Donald Sutherland, Associ-
ate Professor of Classics at the University of 
Colorado carries the title: Gertrude Stein: 
.A Biography of Her Work. Mr. Sutherland 
is a member of the advisory committee work-
ing on the publication of the five hundred 
and seventy Gertrude Stein manuscripts left 
to the Yale Library on her death in 1946. 
The remaining unpublished manuscripts will 
be issued in seven volumes during the next 
eight years.

New Zealand and India. In their preface, 
the authors indicate that this is "an informal, 
not an academic, history of English since 
1900." Mr. Partridge is responsible for the 
section on "British English," and Mr. Clark 
for the section on "American English."

Dr. S. R. Ranganathan continues to add 
volumes to his many contributions to library 
literature. Library Manual, written with 
K. M. Sivaraman (Delhi, Indian Library 
Association; London, G. Blunt, 195I, 2I5p.) 
considers various aspects of library service, 
including laws, or principles of librarianship. 
Classification and Communication (Delhi, 
University of Delhi, I95I, 29Ip.) represents 
his observations on the relations of classifica-
tion to the vital social purpose of communica-
tion. He stresses the building up of what he 
calls the Semiotic of Classification to make 
classification resilient and suited to the needs 
of documentation. In the final chapter he 
proposes an international research organiza:-
tion in the field of classification to be spon-
sored by Unesco. Philosophy of Classification 
is volume 2 of Library Research Monographs, 
published by the University Library, Copen-
hagen, Scientific and Medical Department 
(E. Munksgaard, 1951, I32p., Kr.2o,oo-
$3.25). In this work Dr. Ranganathan con-

JANUARY~ 1952 

the limitations and capacity of library classifi-
cation.

tually in his classic work N dies on the State 
of Virginia. 

Position Classification and Salary Ad-
ministration in Libraries, prepared by the

cusses such matters as terms used in position 
classification, preliminary planning, conducting 
the job analysis, factors to be considered in 
classifying positions, developing the schedules 
of classes, allocating positions to specific
