College and Research Libraries a place in all libraries that support detailed historical and bibliographical research. As Adams states in his introduction: This bibliography will have fulfilled its purpose if it stimulates further inquiry into the bibliographical or the historical aspects of the role played by print- ing and publishing in political affairs. It is an excellent tool, perhaps a paradigm. The American Controversy has amply ful- filled its purpose.-Mark R. Yerburgh, State University of New York at Albany. Miller, Jerome K.

Just as one thinks that nothing more will be Recent Publications I 491 written on copyright for the consumption of librarians, two more books are added to the literature. Each offers some new information and, therefore, they must be considered for study and/ or purchase. Professor Miller's U.S. Copyright Docu- ments is an interesting cut-and-paste job of the basic documents relating to the U.S. Copyright Law. Fully 80 percent of the Miller book is nothing more than a rear- ranged reprint of the appropriate govern- ment publications. But let it be noted that it is a useful rearrangement. For .ease of consulta- tion, he has combined the appropriate sec- tions of the Copyright Act , the House Report, the Senate Report, and the Conference Re- port. For instance, under section 107, the opening statement is the actual words of the law, and this is followed by extensive quotes from the House and Senate reports and the Conference Report. Where appropriate, the Congressional Record and other sources are included. The first portion of Miller's book consists of seven essays on key points of the law affecting librarians and educators. The essays are well ''YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT ••• " Joseph Sprugs Index to Nubition Amply cross-referenced. and Health will aid all those inter- ...... ~ ......... } Index to Nubition and Health ested in finding information on will provide "food for thought" natural foods, nutrition's role in for those concerned about disease, and many more proper nutrition. health-related topics.

If you have a good memory and your own copies of the Copyright Law and House, Sen- ate, and Conference reports, the collection will be of little use. On the other hand, if you need complete and instant documentation on fair use (107), rights of the owner (106), or other sections of the law, the compilation is useful. L. J. Taylor's Copyright for Librarians sounds appropriate for our bookshelves. What one finds, however, is that the major concern is with "fair dealings" as opposed to "fair use"; reflecting the fact that Taylor's work is concerned with the British and not the U.S. Copyright Act. There are similari- ties between the two copyright acts. The Brit- ish Act seemingly will be revised in order to accommodate the recommendations of the Whitford Committee (which we included in the publication), especially its recommenda- Library Research Guide to History Teaches sophisticated library search strategy WITHOUT hours of instruction by a teacher or librarian!

Other sections of special interest to the American librarian are the review of all of the studies-on both sides of the Atlantic- relating to effects of photocopying on journal subscription, and the concept of the Public Lending Right (loans for a fee) as it parallels the arguments for and against fees for photo- copying. For the serious copyright follower, Tay- lor's book is of interest and use, but it will be of little value for most college and university libraries in the U.S.-Richard E.

When this reviewer became editor of Col- lege & Research Libraries nineteen years ago, barely enough publishable papers were being written to fill its limited pages and those of its only scholarly competitor at that time, Li- brary Quarterly. But, my goodness, how times have changed! Today new scholarly li- brary periodicals are springing up in profu- sion, and all of them at least seem to be re- ceiving enough papers to make up wholly respectable issues. Here is a gaggle of them. Library & Archival Security is one of sev- eral recent entries into the library journal field produced by Haworth Press. It boasts a neat, serviceable format, a respectable edito- rial board, appropriate scholarly apparatus, and (if judged from the issue at hand) a good
