College and Research Libraries 276 I College & Research Libraries • May 1981 ABSTRACTS Reclassification, Conversion, and CETA: A Report on a Reclass and Conversion Pro- ject Utilizing CETA Workers in the Kent State University Libraries. By Anne Marie Allison. 1979. 66p. ED 191 423. MF-$0.83; PC-$4.82. This paper describes the integration of a reclas- sification and conversion program staffed by CETA workers into the technical services work flow of a research library. It includes a brief over- view of CETA with a bibliography of suggested readings, a review of the use of CETA in librar- ies, and two proposal narratives with sample job descriptions . Simplified work plans present the reclassification of a Dewey collection to Library of Congress (LC) and the conversion of LC record cards into machine-readable format. Suggestions are offered for other libraries contemplating the use ofCETA. Optimizing Library Staffing Profiles within State Guidelines to Accommodate Peak Demands: Radford University · Library Staffing Report. By Fred Heath and Gary Lewis. Radford University, Radford, Va. 1977. 69p. ED 191 439. MF-$0.83; PC-$4.82. This study determines the periods of peak de- mand on library services in the Radford Universi- ty Library, establishes staffing profiles to meet these demands, and projects changes in staffing levels that may in the future modify the library's service capabilities. It is divided into three parts, the first of which applies a data analysis of library use statistics to staffing needs, critically examin- ing current staffing patterns and making recom- mendations. The second section projects current levels into steady state, using both the current state staffing formula and the State University of New York (SUNY) public services staffing formu- la, and offers conclusions and recommendations based on the findings detailed in the first two sections. Attached are the State Council of High- er Education for Virginia (SCHEY) enrollment projections, Radford College enrollment projec- tions, an appendix from the state budget manual, and the Library Advisory Committee report sum- mary. Plan for a Sign System at the Idaho State University Library. By Douglas Birdsall. University Libraries, Idaho State Uni- versity, Pocatello. 1980. llp. ED 191 441. MF-$0.83; PC-$1.82. Emphasizing the importance of the develop- ment and maintenance of a system of signs to make the library patron aware that a reliable pat- tern of information exists within the library, this report includes a selection of statements excerpt- ed from Sign Systems for Libraries, a collection of papers on visual guidance systems in various types of libraries edited by Dorothy Pollet and Peter C. Haskell (Bowker, 1979), and an outline, explanation, and list of recommendations for a proposed signage system for the Idaho State U ni- versity Library. Committee on the Future of the Card Cata- log. Final Report. By Robert A. Seal and others. Alderman Library, University of Virginia, Charlottesville. 1979. 20p. ED 191 466. MF-$0.83; PC-$1.82. This final report of the Committee on the Fu- ture of the Card Catalog at the University of Vir- ginia considers the evaluative reports of three task forces on the effects of AACR2 and recom- mends that the university library set as a top priority goal the design, development, and imple- mentation of an online catalog by 1983. The com- mittee further recommends that the librarv not close its catalog in 1981 but wait until the ~nline catalog is in place. After 1981 the open catalog should include full two-way links between the old and the new headings. The library should move to become a member of the Research Libraries Group as soon as possible to ease the transition, and task forces to help cope with AACR2 should be appointed without delay. This report summa- rizes alternative courses of action open to the committee and the discussion leading to these recommendations. Resource Notebook on Organization. By Duane Webster.

The Use of General Collections at the Uni- versity of California: A Study of Unre- corded Use, At-the-Shelf Discovery, and Immediacy of Need for Materials at the Davis and Santa Cruz Campus Libraries. Final Report. Research Report RR-80-1. By Gary S. Lawrence and Anne R. Oja. Office of Bilingual Bicultural Education, Department of Education, Sacramento, Calif. 1980. 120p. ED 191 490. MF- $0.83; PC not available from EDRS. Use studies were conducted in the main librar- ies and science branches at the Davis and Santa Cruz campuses of the University of California to gather data for use in the detailed planning for establishing regional compact shelving facilities for infrequently circulated library material. Analy- sis of preliminary data on the three areas ex- amined-unrecorded use, browsing, and im- mediacy of need-suggest that (I) collection us- age may be six times greater than indicated by circulation statistics; (2) unrecorded use is not synonymous with at-the-shelf discovery; (3) differ- ences exist in recorded and unrecorded use rates . between broad categories of materials; (4) tech- niques are available for recording use of materials consulted in the library and reshelved by library staff; (5) some library users are aware of differ- ences in the immediacy of their needs; and (6) further investigation of browsing and/or immedia- cy of needs is unwarranted at this time. This re- port provides an executive summary as well as a detailed description of the methodology and findings in each study area. Appendixes include reports on a questionnaire response rate · experi- ment and a regression analysis of the relationship between circulated and unrecorded use, a glos- sary, and a list of twenty-seven references. A User Study of Public Catalogs: A Queuing Approach. By Charles Sage and others. Paper presented at the Annual Confer- ence of the American Library Association (New York, June 30, 1980). 1980. 39p. ED 191 491. MF-$0.83; PC not avail- able from EDRS. As a means of studying the present public cata- logs and possible catalog format alternatives at the Iowa State University library, a six-week queuing study was conducted. Objectives of the study were : (I) to determine the correlation be- tween other library statistics (e.g., door counts and circulation records) and use of the public catalogs; (2) to calculate the ratio between use of the card catalog and the separate serials catalog; (3) to compare the library staffs use of the catalog with use by the public; and (4) to obtain informa- tion about use of the card catalog and the serials catalog in each of several autonomous library ser- vice points. The catalogs were observed in 234 ten-minute periods . Numerical data gathered from observations are presented in the form of scatter diagrams and histograms comparing card catalog use, circulation counts, and exit counts. The results indicate little correlation between numbers of card catalog users and other staff- gathered user statistics. It was also found that card catalog users arrive randomly, and neither their numbers nor their arrival patterns can be predicted through use of other library statistics. Alternatives to the Card Catalog Commit- tee, Northwestern University Library. In- terim Report. Review of Recommenda- tions, Status of Developments. By Janet W. Swan Hill. University Libraries, Northwestern University, Evanston, Ill. 1980. 11p. ED 191 494. MF-$0.83; PC-$1.82. A committee was appointed in ·March I978 to investigate feasible alternatives to the existing card catalog at Northwestern University Library; this interim report reviews the committee's activ- ities and recommendations, identifies tasks still to he completed, and describes the status of a pro- posed online successor to the card catalog. Ten con- cerns related to the online catalog are discussed: (1) the need for a public services liaison, (2) the question of closing or freezing the card cata- log, (3) alternative formats for the continuation catalog, ( 4) inclusiveness of the online catalog, (5) conversion of cross-references, (6) maintenance of the database, (7) index enhancements, (8) backup for the online catalog, (9) staff and user training, and (10) evaluation . Some additional concerns are briefly reviewed, as well as the current status of the project. Profiles of Twelve Music Libraries at Academic Institutions Offering Graduate Degrees in Music.

An analysis of twelve music libraries presents documentation for the development of guidelines for music collections at institutions offering gradu- ate music programs. The profiles examine library administration and organization, collection de- velopment, collection organization, and services at the selected institutions. They include statisti- cal information and twenty-four tables summariz- ing survey information gathered from a detailed report submitted by each library and a personal visit by the author. Part-Time Students: Th~ir Use of a Polytechnic Library. !..LRS Publications. By Alan Pritchard and Philip Payne. Li- brary and Learning Resources Service, City of London Polytechnic (England), 1980. 43p. ED 191 489. MF-$0.83; PC not available from EDRS. Part-time students at City of London Polytechnic were surveyed regarding their use of the library. This report explains the methodology, presents survey results, and summarizes conclu- sions of the study . Analysis is based on a re- sponse rate of approximately 26 percent of the questionnaires that were distributed to a sample of students . In addition to characterizing users, the results measure use of the library according to academic department, type and grade of course , day and location of class, and length of traveling time. Responses also identify additional services desired by part-time students, reasons for not using the library, and the extent of the use of other libraries. Contained in the appen- dixes are a copy of the questionnaire and relevant correspondence. Academic Library Development Program: A Self Study. University Libraries, Carne- gie-Mellon University, Pittsburgh, Pa. 1978. 269p. ED 191 492. MF-$0.83; PC-$16.82. Results of a four-month library self-evaluation pro~ram conducted by staff members at Carne- gie-Mellon University Libraries are reported in this document. The study was conducted using the Academic Library Development Program (ALDP), a self-improvement strategy for libraries to evaluate and develop their performance. The study team consisting of four task groups ad- ' dressed these issues: (1) services and collections, (2) management systems, (3) human resources, and (4) technology and facilities. A summary of the recommendations from each task force prefaces the report. An overview of the university and of the library, environmental analysis, assessment of library needs, and statement of university and li- brary goals provide a framework for the study. Documented in each task force report are : scope of study, user surveys and other methods of data collection, procedures for evaluation, findings, and specific recommendations.

Computer Output Microform Library Cata- log: A Survey. By Steven D. Zink. 1977. 15p. ED 191 501. MF-$0.83; PC- $1.82. This discussion of the use of computer output microform (COM) as a feasible alternative to the library card catalog includes a brief history of li- brary catalogs and of microform technology since World War II. It is argued that COM catalogs are to be preferred to card catalogs, online catalogs accessed by ter.minals, and paper printouts. Advantages and disadvantages of film or fiche for- mats for a library catalog are explored in relation to retrieval performance, cost, and ease of use, and such features as updating procedures, reada- bility, and possible patron reluctance to use COM are discussed in greater depth. It is con- cluded that COM appears to be the most viable answer to new demands placed on the library catalog.

By Sandra K. Hall. Paper presented at the Summer Workshop of Arizona Newspaper Association (Flagstaff, Ariz . , June 21, 1980). 1980. 16p. ED 192 738. MF-$0.83; PC-$1.82. Newspapers are facing challenges from the new media of teletext, viewdata systems, and home computers. Teletext , which provides formated pages of text broadcast for viewing on a television screen, provides news immediately, simply, con- veniently, and inexpensively. However, it does not provide the browse-and-scan options of news- papers. Of greater potential impact is the de- velopment of viewdata systems that use the tele- vision, telephone, and computer so that online searching can be done from the home . The sys- tem can also be modified to use a home computer rather than a television screen . Changes in how people spend their leisure time and their dispos- able income, combined with the stagnation of newspaper readership and the increasingly impor- tant role of information in society, suggest that newspapers should look into new options. If newspapers would utilize their information collec- tion, analysis, s'torage , and dissemination capabili- ties, the production of a newspaper could be only one part of their business. Information-marketing possibilities for both the business and the home in the "future include using electronic news rec- ords to develop online databases, selling informa- tion in both electronic and clipping forms , and providing research services . Research and Demonstration for a C ompre- hensive Package of Computer Programs to Serve Community College Learning Resource Centers. Final Report. By Jack A. Weiss. Office of Libraries and Learn- ing Resources, Bureau of School Systems, Washington, D.C . 1980. 61p. ED 192 747. MF-$0.83; PC not available from EDRS. Elgin Community College, one of fifteen mem- bers of the Northern Illinois Learning Resources Cooperative (NILRC) , served as host institution for a project to design, develop, test, and install computer programs in a community college re- source center environment. The service functions identified for systems development included cir- culation, serial holdings, equipment scheduling, materials preview and rental control, and media production . The development for the project took place within an IBM technical environment (Model 370/125 computer) and is designed for ease of transfer to other medium-size or larger IBM computer systems . Special technical features include modular programming, COBOL coding, online documentation and programming, database management system design (DU1), CICS tele- processing with command level coding, and the extensive use of tables in the system design . The project report includes results of the activities, problems encountered , and extensive appendixes. A Library User's Guide to ERIC. 1980 Edi- tion. By Robert M. Simmons. National Institute of Education, Washington, D.C. 1980. 36p. ED 192 781. MF-$0.83; PC-$3.32. Use of the ERIC database is explained in the 1980 edition of the guide. Presented first are the major components of the ERIC document collec- tion and journal index, including the thesaurus , indexes , and source materials. A step-by-step procedure for searching Resources in Education (document index) and Current Index to Journals in Education by subject using the 1980 revision of the thesaurus is described, and a brief explana- tion of searching by author, institution, or type of publication is provided. The guide also includes general information about computerized ERIC searches, an annotated bibliography of ERIC materials (indexes and thesauri) and guides to ERIC, and a directory of the sixteen ERIC clearinghouses . An Adaptive Model of Information Policy: A Methodology for Studying the Control of a Powerful Resource. By Eilean M. Trauth. Paper presented at the Mid-Year Meeting of the American Society for In- formation Science (9th, Pittsburgh, Pa., May 1980). 1980. 14p. ED 192 801. MF-$0.83; PC-$1.82. In the policymaking process, one of the impor- tant steps is the consideration of the conse- quences deriving from the alternative choices. For the case of information .policy, the present research has begun the development of a methodology for doing so. The methodology chosen was modeling. Information policy model- ing serves the dual purposes of further clarifica- tion of the phenomenon under study, along with the provision of an avenue for quantitative analy- sis through computer simulation . Following an examination of three poli.cy model configura- tions-maximization, optimization , and adap- tive-the adaptive or cybernetic representation was chosen as the most appropriate way to repre- sent the information policymaking process. In addition to the intended role of modeling in this research setting, another perhaps more important function emerged. It was the use of modeling as a tool for better understanding of information poli- cy itself. A list of references is attached.

Texas University, Aus- tin. 1980. 58p. ED 192 804. MF-$0.83; PC not available from EDRS. Developed in anticipation of the adoption of AACR2 by the library community, two plans re- ported by the General Libraries address the im- pact on the catalog and staff training. No conflict is anticipated in the absorption of AACR2, and the focus of the first report is on the mechanics of integrating AACR2 headings with headings already in the catalog. This report provides sec- tions on methods and principles, procedures, spe- cial problems, special recommendations, a time- table, costs, a bibliography, and appendixes on corporate entries and serial identification . The second report examines staff to be trained and the structure of training; staff to do the training and preparation of training aids; user orientation and training; training methods for instruction of the staff; a training timetable ; and utilization of external resources. An appendix provides a 198~ 81 schedule of regional institutes sponsored in cooperation with the Library of Congress . Network Terminations: A Compilation of Possible Answers. By John S.

This review of the literature on undergraduate libraries , the historical context from which they arose , and their status at the end of the 1970s points out that a long tradition of lack of concern for undergraduate bibliographical needs was broken dramatically in 1949 by the construction of Lamont Library, the Harvard undergraduate facility. Although designed to solve problems unique to Harvard, Lamont was an exemplary construction that soon captured the imagination of the academic library world . It became the model for a rash of new libraries aimed at satis- fying " unique" undergraduate needs. These li- braries proliferated during the 1950s and 1960s, a period of accelerated growth in academe . By the 1970s , however, the general financial retrench- ment of American colleges and universities had virtually halted new construction. Further, the thesis that presumed the needs of undergraduates to be somehow "different," as well as the advis- ability of facilities effectively segre-gating them from the rest of the academic community, came under attack in the professional literature . Few undergraduate libraries were built during this period and several were closed or converted to other uses. A bibliography of twenty-four refer- ences is included.

The 'outlines' add up to a remarkably concise summary of the history of children's literature: invaluable.,-CLIFTON FADIMAN The History of Children's Literature A Syllabus with Selected Bibliographies, 2nd edition Elva S. Smith; revised and enlarged by Margaret Hodges and Susan Steinfirst This landwork work presents by chapters in outline form the principal developments in the history of children's literature and names the authors and titles that characterize these developments. Each outline is followed by an annotated list of secondary sources that explore the specific aspects of the period. Thus, this work serves as a handy guide to the field of children's literature and the critical writings about it. The second edition extends the outlines and reevaluates the critical writ- ings to include those published since the previous edition and felt to possess continuing usefulness. Each chapter is prefaced by a headnote that summarizes the salient features of the period. Hodges and Steinfirst then improve Smith's concept of a guide to research in children's literature by increasing the detail in the outlines. In this way, the usefulness of the work for suggesting topics for investigation is enhanced. 304 pages Cloth LC 79-28323 010 ISBN 0-8389-0286-3 ( 1980) $40.00 1!1 Order Department AMERICAN LIBRARY ASSOCIATION 50 East Huron Street, Chicago, Illinois 60611 286 I College & Research Libraries • May 1981 Provide Consumer Services: An Annotated Bib- liography of Consumer Studies.
