College and Research Libraries By EDNA MAE BROWN Ne-w Periodicals of 1948-Part II Miss Brown is head~ serials section~ De- scriptive Cataloging Division~ Library of Congress. T HIS compilation of periodicals com-prises those which came to the attention of the writer during the second half of 1948. They are included because of their reference value or their interest to the gen- eral reader. The majority of them had their origin outside the Unted States. Political Science A number of new journals, many of them foreign, are be.ing published to pre- sent the problems of national governments and international relations and to aic! in their solution. One of these is A sian H ori- zon. It is published in London. In it able Asiatic writers and scholars discuss the awakening in their countries. The con- tent of the first issue is classified as fol- lows: Asia and the West; History; Politics; Contemporary Art. To appraise the world about Korea and her cultural ideals the Korean-American Cultural Association with ·international headquarters in Washington, is publishing the Korean Review. The contributors to the first issue are professors and students, many of them Korean, teach- ing and studying in American universities. Pakistan Horizon~ published in Karachi, promises to cover all aspects of international affairs with emphasis on those in which the new dominion of Pakistan will be directly interested. Eastern Review~ published in Klagenfurt, which has as subtitle "a survey of the cultural life of east central and south-eastern Europe and of the Soviet Union," and The New Central European APRIL~ 1949 Observer~ published in London, present the current political and economic and, to a lesser degree, the cultural life for the coun- tries of central and south-eastern Europe. Broader in scope is World Politics~ pub- lished by the Yale Institute of Internation~l.. Studies.

The contributors to the first issue were economics and political science pro- fessors. Etudes I nternationales~ with some contributions in English, French and Dutch, the last two with English sum- maries , aims to present an impartial study of international questions. It is published by N ederlandsch Genootschap voor Inter- nationale Zaken with headquarters at The Hague and Institut des Relations Inter- nationales with headquarters in Brussels. The purpose of Contemporary Issues~ pub- lished in London, similar to that of Dinge der Zeit~ a German emigre magazine also published in London, is the formation of an international democratic organi~ation which ."is not to appear as a finished organisation, but to arise under public controL" Corps. Diplomatique~ published in Paris, intends to contribute to international understand- ing by reporting honestly on international political and cultural life, emphasizing the role of France in both of these. Economics. Economie W allonne~ Liege, will . present studies on national and international eco- nomic problems which have an influence on the economic problems of the region of the 135 Walloons. ·The first issue treats of the economic situation in Belgium, Holland, France, Great Britian, western Germany and the United States.

Literature A sir~ from Mercedes, Uruguay, and Con- trapunto~ 'from Caracas, Venezuela, with essays, poems, translations and bibliographi- cal notes will give us some ·idea of present day writing and thinking in those countries. Lusitania~ Documentario da Vida Portu- guesa~ includes articles on literary subjects, the ballet, present day medicine, the Portu- guese language and other subjects showing contemporary Portuguese thinking. From Stockholm come Poesi~ Tidskrift for Lyrik~ published by Lyriksamfundet, and Prisma. The second, a little broader in scope, in- eludes art. In The Swan of Avon~ Santa Barbara, California, Rudolf Melander, of the Melander Shakespeare Society, proposes to further his Melander Shakespeare theory. Italian Publishers~ Monthly~ Mi- lan, and Le Livre~ Revue G enerale de /'Edition~ Paris, include biographical and critical articles as well as announcements which give bibliographical items and de- scriptive notes on the new publications in their respective countries . . Quoting from an introduction to N eurotica~ this journal is to be "a literary exposition, defense, and correlation of the problems and personali- ties that in our culture are defined as 'neu- rotic.' ... We are interested in exploring the creativeness of this man who has been forced to live underground, and yet lights an utter darkness with his music, poetry, painting, and writing.'" Little Magazines Two "little" magazines appeared. The Golden Goose~ Columbus, Ohio, is prima- rily interested in the work of the new American poet. Translations of foreign language poetry as well as the work of established poets will be included. F ac- to tum~ Chapel Hill, N.C., will publish the works of new writers.

The College Librarian in the Academic Community (Continued from page 134) teaching staff, and they should be accorded the same privileges as all teaching staff with respect to tenure, sabbaticals, salary incre- ments, and retirement. They should re- ceive generous vacation allowances and spe- cial arrangements should be made, when possible, to permit them to pursue graduate studies. Library staff members should be invited to participate in those faculty and general college committees on which they are qualified to make a contribution. As head of an important instructional depart- ment the chief librarian should enjoy equal status with other instructional department heads. In those instances where the li- brary is large and its resources and services APRIL~ 1949 warrant, he should be given equal status with deans and other high administrative officers. These suggestions may shock some college administrators and even a few col- lege librarians. They are submitted in friendly and constructive spirit as . logical conclusions to be drawn from acceptance of the position that college libraries are im- portant educational agencies and their pro- fessional staffs are clearly instructional personnel. Given equal status with other instructional personnel the college library staffs can be expected to participate actively and effectively in the affairs of the college and to contribute in high degree toward the attainment of its aims and purposes. 139
