SEPTEMBER 1964 423 Institute for College Library Building Consultants IN JuNE the Educational Facilities Lab- oratories, Inc., a subsidiary of the Ford Foundation, sent out a low-key announce- ment that in August, together with the University of Colorado, it would co- sponsor an Institute for College Library Building Consultants. Participation would be limited to fifteen librarians. To every- one's great surprise, more than two hun- dred persons applied for admission, mak- ing the problem of personnel selection a major one. After considerable delibera- tion, however, and weighing of such fac- tors as age and geographical distribution, the number was reduced to twenty-five, and the group convened in Boulder, Colo- rado, on Sunday evening, August 9, for a week of intensive training. The librarians in attendance were Ken- neth S. Allen, associate director of libraries in· the University of Washington; Rich- ard DeGennaro, assistant director of the Harvard University libraries; William S. Dix, librarian of Princeton University; Andrew J. Eaton, director of Washington University libraries; Mark Gormley, li- brarian of the University of Wisconsin- Milwaukee; Robert T. Grazier, associate director of libraries in Wayne State Uni- versity; Warren J. Haas, associate di- rector of libraries in Columbia Univer- sity; Elliott Hardaway, director of li- braries in the University of South Florida; Clyde L. Haselden, librarian of Lafayette College; David Kaser, director of the Joint University libraries; Ellsworth Ma- son, director of library services for Hof- stra University; Stephen A. McCarthy. director of libraries in Cornell University; John P. McDonald, librarian of the Uni- versity of Connecticut; Stanley McElderry, librarian of San Fernando Valley State College; Paul Miles, assistant librarian in UCLA; Robert A. Miller, director of li- braries in Indiana University; Jerrold Orne, librarian of the University of North Carolina; Richard A. Perrine, librarian of Rice University; Joseph H.

Skipper, executive secretary of the Associ- ation of Research Libraries; Donald E. Thompson, librarian of Wabash College; Eileen Thornton, librarian of Oberlin College; and David C. Weber, assistant director of libraries in Stanford Univer- sity. In addition to librarians, there were also in attendance fifteen architects, one college president, a library equipment specialist, and Mrs. Ruth Weinstock of the Educational Facilities Laboratories. Teaching in the program were Keyes Met- calf of Belmont, Massachusetts, and Wil- liam Jesse, director of libraries in the University of Tennessee. The director of the program was Ralph Ellsworth, di- rector of libraries in the University of Colorado. The stated purpose of the Institute was "to make available an expanded corps of trained personnel to assist with plan- ning the many new junior and senior col- lege and university libraries that will be built in the next decade." Lectures and discussions were pointed to this end and covered such topics as the role of the con- sultant, writing a building program, iden- tifying the essential elements in a build- ing program, campus planning proce- dures, the faculty-library planning com- mittee, new teaching methods and tech- 424 COLLEGE AND RESEARCH LIBRARIES nologies, basic dimensions and specifica- tions, growth calculations, evaluation of architectural drawings, automation, mini- aturization, and the electronic control of information. In addition to lectures and discus- sions, field trips were made to several new or recently expanded library build- ings in the vicinity. Participants toured the libraries of Colorado Woman's Col- lege, the Air Force Academy, the Univer- sity of Colorado, and Colorado College at Colorado Springs. Several registrants also visited the library building, now un- der construction, at Colorado State Uni- versity at Fort Collins. The Institute continued until noon on Friday, August 14.-D.K. • • ACRL Grants Program, 1964;/bS - .Tenth Year FUNDS have been made available for the tenth consecutive year of the ACRL Grants program.

CuMMINGS be- came director of the National Library of Dr. Cummings Medicine on January 1, 1964, he brought to his new assign- ment a breadth of experience in medi- cine ranging from teaching to the direc- torship of research for the Veterans Ad- ministration, and from the chairman- ship of a medical school department of microbiology to the administration of medical research on an international basis. Born in Camden, N.J. , in 1920, Dr. Cum- mings earned a BS from Bucknell Univer- sity and an MD from Duke University. Af- ter residency training at Boston Marine Hospital in 1946, he accepted a commis- sion during the same year in the U.S. Public Health Service. His first assignment, to the Grasslands Hospital in Valhalla, N.Y. , was of great significance to Dr. Cummings' career, since it was there that he began to realize the depth of his interest in pulmonary diseases. Study and work in tuberculosis continued, with assignments to the University of Min- nesota , the Michigan State Department of Health, and the State Serum Institute in Copenhagen, Denmark. In 1947 he was named director of the Tuberculosis Evalua- tion Laboratory, Communicable Disease Center, U.S. Public Health Service, Atlanta, Ga. , and in 1949 he was chief of the Tu- berculosis Section and director of the Tu- berculosis Research Laboratory of the Vet- erans Administration hospital in Atlanta. In 1953 , he was named director, Research Ser- vice , Veterans Administration, Washington, D.C. Dr. Cummings' first formal contribution to medical literature was in 1947. To date, he is the author or coauthor of a textbook and sixty-four scientific articles. While the majority of these concern diseases of the Personnel chest, his breadth of interest in medicine is illustrated by works on microscopy, dis- eases of the genital tract, the use of mice in diagnosing tuberculosis, streptomycin sensitivity, the possible effect of pine pollen in relation to sarcoidosis. Dr. Cummings has been concerned for more than fourteen years with the prob- lems of medical education, by virtue of fac- ulty appointments at several medical schools. He was associate professor of bacteriology at Emory in 1952, and special lecturer in microbiology at the George Washington University school of medicine in 1953. From 1959 to 1961 he was chairman and professor of the department of microbiology and associate professor of medicine at the University of Oklahoma school of medicine. He gained many insights into the med- ical information problem in a series of special assignments as chairman of the com- mittee on medical research of the National Tuberculosis Association; Veterans Admin- istration representative on the National Re- search Council; Veterans Administration representative on the Public Health Service National Advisory Health Council; and chairman of the panel on sarcoidosis, N a- tiona! Research Council, National Academy of Science. He went to the National Institutes of Health in 1961 as chief of the office of in- ternational research, which was set up to strengthen support of biomedical research in foreign settings. The complexities of this task from the standpoints of organization and management were considerable. A ma- jor concern was communications between different geographic and disciplinary ele- ments of the international scientific com- munity. In the spring of 1963 , while still chief of international research, he was also named associate director for research grants of NIH, where he had responsibility for policy development of a program involving more than $500,000,000 in research grants. It was from these vantage points that he saw and experienced the great impact that the nation's research programs have had 426 COLLEGE AND RESEARCH LIBRARIES on medical col!lmunications and the need for the federal establishment to foster major programs of assistance to libraries and other components of the medical com- munications system. Such programs had been proposed by the National Library of Medicine as early as 1961, with action delayed by unclear or- ganizational and legislative authorities. From the moment of his arrival at NLM, Dr. Cummings has vigorously continued the pur- suit of such programs, adding plans for both extramural and intramural activities de- signed to enlarge and sharpen the role of NLM in the national medical communica- tions effort. The decentralization of the Medical Lit- erature Analysis and Retrieval System (MEDLARS) is planned to take place in 1964 and 1965. Dr. Cummings has added, in this relationship, plans for extensive stud- ies of a national complex of regional med- ical library resources. Beyond these activi- ties he is seeking legislative authority to as- sist medical libraries with their space and resource needs. Dr. Cummings' recognition of the need for flexible approaches to medical librarian- ship can be considered a distinct asset to the federal role in improving the inter- change of medical information. His con- cept of the challenge from his experience as medical scientist, teacher, and adminis- trator will be a source of additional strength for NLM, and in turn for medicine and for librarianship generally. His sympathetic un- derstanding of library problems and needs indicates that he is devoting his full energies anq talents to pursue courses of action of great benefit to the research libraries of this country.-Frank B. Rogers. MERLE F AINSOD became director of the Harvard University library on July 1. At the same time DOUGLAS W. BRYANT became university librarian. Mr. Bryant will have . responsibility for the management of the university library as well as the administra- tion of the college library. Professor Fain- sod and the faculty library committee will be responsible for establishing major poli- cies. Professor Fainsod succeeds Paul F. Buck as head of the world's largest university SEPTEMBER 1964 library. He has been director of the Russian Research Center at Harvard since 1959. His scholarly studies of government and politics in the USSR produced How Russia Is Ruled, Prof. F ainsod Mr. Bryant co-winner of the Woodrow Wilson Founda- tion Award, revised and enlarged in 1963. From . postwar study of Soviet documents captured by the Germans in 1941 Professor Fainsod wrote Smolensk Under Soviet Rule, an inside picture of Soviet rule from 1917 to 1938. For this work, Professor Fainsod re- ceived the 1961 Faculty Prize of the Har- vard University Press. A native of McKees Rocks, Pa., Professor Fainsod studied at Washington University, St. Louis, and at Harvard, where he received the PhD degree in 1932. He has been a member of the Harvard faculty since 1933. Mr. Bryant has been associate director of the Harvard University library and associate librarian of Harvard College since 1956. Before he joined the Harvard staff in 1952 he served in the libraries of Stanford Uni- versity, the University of Michigan and Uni- versity of California, and in the Detroit pub- lic library. He was director of libraries of the U.S. Information Service in London from 1949 to 1952. A native of Visalia, Calif., he studied at Stanford, where he received the AB degree, at the University of Munich, and at the University of Michigan, where he received the AM in library science . Mr. Bryant has been active in internation- al library work, and has been vice president of the International Federation of Library Associations. His other contributions to in- ternational librarianship include a recent series of lectures in a number of Japanese universities, and service as chairman of the 427 Combined Committee on Slavic and East European Library Resources. RoBERT D. STEVENS in August 1964 be- came director of research collections for the East-West Center and adjunct professor of librarianship at the University of Hawaii. He had been coordinator, Public Law 480 Programs, at the Library of Congress. A native of New Hampshire, Mr. Stevens graduated from Syracuse University in 1942, the Naval School of Oriental Languages in 1944, from Columbia University's school of library service in 194 7, and received the MA degree in public administration from the American University in 1954. He is at pres- ent a candidate for a doctorate in public administration from the last-named insti- tution. He worked as a student assistant at Syra- cuse and Columbia before joining the staff of the Library of Congress in 194 7 as an administrative intern in the former acqui- sitions department. He served in this capac- ity for a year, rotating through a series of as- signments in the exchange and gift division, the order division, and the department office. He subsequently served in a variety of posi- tions of increasing responsibility in four di- visions of the processing department. He was head of the bibliographic unit, order division; head of the American and British exchange section; head of the serial record section; assistant chief and then chief of the catalog maintenance division; and assistant chief of the Union Catalog division before moving to the reference department in 1957 as assistant chief of the general reference and bibliography division. In March 1958 he became assistant direc- tor of the reference department and in Au- gust of the same year he was selected to be the first coordinator for the development and organization of the collections, a posi- tion which utilized Mr. Stevens' remarkable ability in maintaining effective interdepart- ment liaison. It also utilized his exceptional knowledge of the collections, organization, functions, technical processes, reference ser- vices, and acquisitions policies of the Library of Congress. In September 1961 Mr. Stevens was ap- pointed to the newly-established position of coordinator, Public Law 480 programs. In this capacity he organized and directed the Library of Congress programs in India, Pak- istan, the United Arab Republic, Indonesia, and Israel under the authority of Public Law 83-480, the Agricultural Trade Develop- ment and Assistance Act of 1954, for the acquisition of books, periodicals, and other library materials and their distribution to li- braries and research centers in the United States specializing in the areas to which they relate. His direction of this program, described by an eminent scholar as the "most significant interchange of cultural materials in the history of civilized nations," was outstanding ~nd has resulted in the re- ceipt by American libraries of approximately two million publications from the countries covered by the program. Mr. Stevens is the author of The Role of the Library of Congress in the International Exchange of Official Publications and of numerous other contributions to the profes- sional literature. He is possessed of an equ- able temperament, a keen intelligence, a pleasant and witty character, and has the contagious energy and enthusiasm of a natural leader. His wide background, intel- lectual capacity, and personal character should ensure his success in his new and challenging assignment.-John W. Cronin.

(Continued from page 403) tern, while the investigating library re- quires only parts of the system. Internal requirements of one library may require more input cards per item, or the input format may not be optimal for the job to be done. Many factors may influence costs, but the major factor, given good system design, is that of time charges for equipment usage. Cost estimation for systems involving magnetic tape and random access files is also possible but will riot be discussed here. The output speed (which is usually the speed at which lines are printed) is SEPTEMBER 1964 the limiting factor for most housekeeping operations. No matter how fast the tapes, discs, or card readers, most housekeep- ing systems will run no faster than the printer can handle the output. It is for this reason that cost estimating is rather easy, whether it be to relate someone else's job to your operation, or to find out what a proposed application will cost in your library. What is required is a logical analysis of the input and output of the proposed system. Then, given the output speeds of the equipment used, the volume of output, and the time charges for equip- ment usage, the costs follow logically and easily. • • 431
