College and Research Libraries j I 284 I College & Research Libraries • July 1970 gathered through personal interviews and the personal knowledge and editing ex- perience of the author has made this an interesting and informative work. Mr. Ford is a professor of journalism at Southern Illinois University, where he has been on the faculty since 1955. He was formerly Dean of the School of Journal- ism at the University of Montana for twelve years. His career has included editorial positions and a sh·etch of service with the United Press International. The lucid de- lineation of special magazines found in this book reflects his experience and in- terest in this field. The author has categorized specialized publications into nine groups and has de- voted a chapter to each group. "The Af- fluent Home and Family" covers the mul- titude of home and garden magazines. "The Juvenile Revolution" outlines the magazines designed for younger readers from the primary level through the teens. "The Long, Leisurely Weekend" covers a gamut of popular magazines which fea- ture crafts, hobbies, entertainment, and general leisure reading. "The Role of Re- ligious Magazines" examines in some depth the publications of major denominational publishing houses. "The Giant Galaxy of Company Publications" covers the broad scope of internal and external publication objectives within various companies. "The Voice of Industry" surveys the area cov- ered by 2,600 industrial magazines. "The Siamese Twins-Business and Labor" in- cludes such giants as U.S. N ews & W01'ld Report, Business W eek, UAW's Solidarity, and The International Teamster, along with many other titles and gives resumes of intent and statistical information perti- nent to the degree of coverage. "Professions and Associations" examines special maga- zines in the fields of education, medicine, law, radio-television, motion pictures and photography, to name but a few. "Down on the Farm" cites the leaders in the field of farm magazines and gives informa- tion about them as well as about the re- gional aspects involved. Finally, the "Land of the Giants" examines those publications issued by such Herculean forces as the American Chemical Society, Hearst Cor- poration, Macfadden-Bartell Corporation, Standard Rate & Data Service and others. This volume adds another resource on the subject of magazine publishing, an area that has received but moderate at- tention by historians. Professor Ford has examined a number of titles in depth and has analyzed audiences to whom the jour- nals are directed. His clear definitions of the various types of magazines encom- passed in the phrase "specialized publi- cations" adds significant value to this study. Interviews with editors, publishers, and executive personnel connected with the special publications field provide sub- jective information previously unavailable. Well-chosen illustrations, graphs and charts add much to the interest and understand- ing of the book. I believe it would have been useful to have included in the main index a listing of all of the titles cited in the text, or to have included an appendix with such a listing. The main index does cite some titles under the various headings, such as "Labor Publications: Summaries of." Oth- er than this approach, one must check the text to find specific titles. Magazines for Millions will be at borne alongside of the works of Frank Luther Mott, Theodore Peterson, Roland E. Wol- seley and James Playsted Wood, since it provides a study in a major segment of magazine publishing which has been rel- atively neglected in the past-William H.

Semiannual Activity Report, 15 September 1968 to 15 March 1969. Cambridge, Mass.: Massachusetts Inst. of Technology, 1969. 40p. (Avail- able from CFSTI as PB 183 295). After three years of preparation, the Project Intrex research team has begun to subject parts of its augmented catalog sys- tem to interactions with users who were interested in the substance of the stored information and uncontaminated by prior association with the Intrex research effort. The experiences with users to date, as well as progress made on the engineering side, are presented in this report. All the ele- ments of the Intrex System have been completed, all are working individually, and with the exception of the display-con- sole-typewriter, magnetic-drum link, all have been interconnected and made to work as a complete system. Since the first user experiments were conducted before completion of the display console and since full-text material cannot be request- ed presently from an IBM 2741 type- writer terminal, the kind used in the ex- periments, only catalog information could be extracted by the initial group of users. Nevertheless, the experiments have con- tributed substantially to a preliminary un- derstanding of system performance and user behavior. Creation of a Machine File and Subse- quent Computer-Assisted Production of Publishing Outputs, Including a Trans- lation .Journal and an Index. Status of "U spekhi" Experiment, .July, 1969. By Lawrence F. Buckland and Vance Weaver. Cambridge, Mass.: Inforonics, 1969. 31p. (Available from CFSTI as PB 185 564). Eighteen pages of journal photocompo- sition were generated from a labeled ma- chine file of U spekhi data by computer programs. A sample of an index page, from "The Physical Review," is also in- cluded. These programs are tested and ready to be used in the production of further journals and indexes. Costs and procedure breakdowns are shown. Produc- tion details will be seen to have varied in some cases from the 1965 concepts, but not the concepts themselves. Comparisons between 1965 predicted costs and actual costs in 1969 are shown. Sharing Resources in the Pacific North- west; A Study in Two Parts. I, The Pa- cific Northwest Bibliographic Center. II, Interlibrary Loan Practices Among the Libraries of the Pacific Northwest. A Part of the Preparation for the Im- plementation of the Washington State Library Network. By Lura Gibbons Cur- rier. Olympia: Washington State Library, 1969. 335p. (ED 036 304, MF -$1.25 HC-$16.85). The purpose of the study was to ( 1) pinpoint the role which Pacific Northwest Bibliographic Center (PNBC) might play for Washington in the development of the Washington State Library Network; and ( 2) ascertain what effect the develop- ment of the Washington State Library Network might have on PNBC. Method- ology for the study involved: ( 1) a lit- erature review; ( 2) interviews with staff members at PNBC , University of Wash- ington Library, Health Science Library, Washington State Libra1y and Seattle Public Library as well as conversations with librarians familiar with PNBC and other agents for interlibrary loan; ( 3) consultation with research, automation and management experts; ( 4) question- naires sent to libraries and state agencies; ( 5) examination of the bibliographic ele- ments of statewide reference service; ( 6) observation of procedures at PNBC and the Public Services division of the Wash- ington State Library; and ( 7) analyses of requests coming into PNBC and the Wash- ington State Library. Part I of the report Abstracts I 287 analyzes and makes recommendations for PNBC, and Part II analyzes and makes conclusions on interlibrary loan practices among the libraries of the Pacific North- west. The PNBC manual for participating libraries and Washington State Library's Interlibrary Loan Manual are included in this report. California State Library: Processing Cen- ter Design and Specifications. Volume I, System Description and Input Pro- cessing. By Don Sherman and Ralph M. Shoffner. Berkeley: Inst. of Library Re- search, Univ. of California, 1969. 259p. (ED 036 305, MF-$1.00 HC-$13.05). The scope of the California State Li- brary-Processing Center ( CSL-PC) proj- ect is to develop the design and specifi- cations for a computerized technical pro- cessing center to provide services to a net- work of participating California libraries. Immediate objectives are: ( 1) retrospec- tive conversion of card catalogs to a ma- chine-form data base, compatible with MARC II; (2) continuing conversion of current cataloging to machine-form data base, compatible with MARC II; ( 3) in- corporation of MARC II tapes, distribut- ed by the Library of Congress, into the Center's data base for use in cataloging support; ( 4) production of book-form catalogs; and ( 5) control of technical processing associated with serials, includ- ing ordering, check-in, claiming, binding, accounting and holding lists. Following a definition of the scope of the project, future developments are discussed in a sur- vey of plans and accomplishments of oth- er cognate projects in the area of coopera- tive library networks. This report also in- cludes: ( 1) the system description, an ov- erview of system files and system logic for all operating functions; (2) a discus- sion of production and control, which focuses on the problem and recommended procedures of production and control of source documents during the conversion process; and ( 3) the conversion program. California State Library: Processing Cen- ter Design and Specifications. Volume II, File Maintenance and Output Pro- cessing. By Don Sherman and Ralph M. 288 I College & Research Libraries • July 1970 Shoffner. Berkeley: Inst. of Library Re- search, Univ. of California, 1969. 278p. (ED 036 306, MF-$1.25 HC-$14.00). As part of the report on the California State Library Processing Center ( CSL- PC) design and specifications, this volume covers: ( 1) file maintenance, a discussion of updating system files with new entries and MARC tapes; (2) authority verifica- tion, the correction and standardization of subject headings and author names; ( 3) the filing system for a book catalog, an analysis of bibliographic filing rules with a recommendation for computer imple- mentation; ( 4) the format for a book cat- alog, containing specifications of entry formats and page layouts for book catalogs; and ( 5) the processing center organization- al design, a d escription of the preliminary organization of the processing center and keying instructions. California State Library: Processing Cen- ter Design and Specifications. Volume Ill, Coding Manual. By Don Sherman and Ralph M. Shoffner. Berkeley: Inst. of Library Research, Univ. of California, 1969. (ED 036 307, MF-$1.00 HC- $10.75). As part of the report on the California State Library Processing Center design and specifications, this volume is a coding manual for the conversion of catalog card data to a machine-readable form. The form is compatible with the national MARC system, while at the same time it contains provisions for problems peculiar to the local situation. This coding manual accommodates monographs only (as pres- ently defined by MARC), but it is com- patible with the serials system now being developed. Again following MARC, this manual deals only with works in the Ro- man alphabet. The "Anglo-American Cat- aloging Rules" have been used for iden- tification and definition of catalog data, and the coding attempts to be consonant with these rules, as far as possible. The arrangement of the manual follows the division of the catalog card data into three fields: The A-Fields (which refer to the "body" or upper part of the card), the B-Fields (for notes, tracings and other data in the lower part of the card) , and the !-Fields (for added description). Each of these sections has its own introduction. Within the sections the arrangement is in alphabetical order by code letter. There is an initial section on general editing in- stl;uctions that apply to all fields. California State Library: Processing Cen- ter Design and Specifications. Volume IV, Serials Control System. By Martin D. Fried and Ruth Dunham. Berkeley: Inst. of Library Research, Univ. of Cali- fornia, 1969. (ED 036 308, MF-$1.50 HC-$18.30). The CSL Serials Control System is aimed primarily at satisfying control and retrieval requirements of serials data for subscribers to the California State Library Processing Center (CSL-PC). The pri- mary objective of the system is to provide a method of serials control which will be very flexible both in terms of input re- quirements and output capabilities. The system is also designed to accommodate the varying degrees of complexity which will occur in serial collections of different size and scope. The system is designed to function as an aid to serials librarians in maintaining control of their basic files in terms of ordering, subscription renewal, expected arrivals, claiming, binding, and holdings inventory. The machine portion of the system is designed to be compatible with emerging State and National stan- dards. To further this goal a machine record has been constructed which strong- ly resembles the standard machine record for monographs (MARC) developed by the Library of Congress. Included in this report are sections which cover: ( 1) a gen- eral introduction; ( 2) technical design; ( 3) the conversion requirements for the CSL-PC serials records; and ( 4) a sub- scriber's guide which provides a detailed discussion of each data element used in this system. Technology Transfer: A Selected Bibliog- raphy. By M. Terry Sovel. Washington, D.C.: National Aeronautics and Space Administration, 1969. 103p. (Available from CFSTI as N69-28868). This bibliography of 428 items, a prod- uct of the NASA-sponsored Project for I the Analysis of Technology Transfer (PATT) at the University of Denver's Re- search Institute ( D RI) , is the initial at- tempt at compiling a comprehensive list- ing on the subject of technology transfer. The bibliography is further concerned with information which leads to a greater understanding of the factors affecting the transfer process-the barriers and incen- tives to the process. A partial information base on technology transfer was gathered in performing DRI studies; and with the establishment of the P ATT library, an in- tensive data collection effort was begun. The items, most of which are in the PATT library collection, represent a screening of Abstracts I 289 the available literature and include most- ly primary sources. Material was acquired through: interviews with technical infor- mation experts in the U.S. government, surveys of several library collections strong in technical information, reviews of bibliographies on the subject, letters to ma- jor authors in the field , personal contacts, and monitoring of several abstracting ser- vices. An intensive review of the bibliog- raphy was performed by knowledgeable people in the field. The bibliography is arranged alphabetically, with author and keyword in context (KWIC) indexes. A statement of P ATT library policy is ap- pended. • • CORRECTION Reference no. 7 in Donald G.
