College and Research Libraries analyses should precede any further support in this field, and (b) that there is great need to develop the science upon which a sound technology may be based.-Ralph R. Shaw, Rutgers University. Serials in Australian Libraries; Social Sciences and Humanities; A Union List. 2 vols. Canberra: National Library of Australia, 1963. Price to be deter- mined. The publication of these two volumes marks another step forward in the efforts of Australian libraries to compile informa- tion on their resources. This "interim edi- tion" is designed to be a companion to Sci- entific Serials in Australian Libraries, as it might well be after it is used and continued as a list of holdings of several hundred li- braries in the country. The list includes peri- odicals an~ other serials, as well as mono- Americans in Africa: A Preliminary Guide to American Missionary Archives and Li- brary Manuscript Collections on Africa.

Stanford, Calif.: JANUARY 1964 graphic and some publishers' series, but it does not contain newspapers, company re- ports, house organs, and certain ephemeral titles. Almost twenty thousand titles are included. Australian librarians, through AACOBS (the Australian Advisory Council on Biblio- graphical Services), the National Library of Australia, and the work of personnel in indi- vidual libraries, have been pooling their ef- forts to gain an insight into present holdings. The objective is to develop, so far as is fea- sible, within programs of individual institu- tions a program of collecting that will be beneficial to the country as a whole. Aus- tralian libraries, because of their distance from one another, have an opportunity that is both unique and challenging, particularly in a country in which the social sciences and humanities, as well as science and technol- ogy, are regarded as important.-Maurice F.
