Final Report. By Pamela Reeves. Ypsilanti, Mich.: Eastern Michigan Univ., 1979. 72p. ED 184 550. MF-$0.83; PC-$4.82. A research/evaluation project was conducted to assess library needs, use, and services for nontra- ditional students and to construct an experimental library skills course. A survey of every tenth stu- dent assessed needs for library services and facili- ties in relation to seventeen personal factors, us- ing the chi-square test to establish relationships. A new credit-bearing library skills course was de- veloped with emphasis on individualized instruc- tion, and special efforts were made to recruit stu- dents who were starting or resuming college after several years out of school. Thirty-seven students completed the library skills course; more than half of this group had had some interruptions in education. Data from a pretest and posttest and from other courses taken concurrently by this group were analyzed by t-test, multiple regres- sion, and one-way analysis of covariance. Analyses showed that the students who took the course im- proved their library skills substantially, that inter- rupted students did not differ significantly from others in success with the course, and that taking the course did not significantly affect success in other courses taken concurrently. The library needs survey, a breakdown of responses, correla- tions between personal factors, the pretest, the posttest, and the course evaluation are appended. Technical Report on Processing Centers. By Carl A. Anderson. Columbus, Ohio: Ohio College Library Center, 1980. 58p. ED 184 592. MF-$0.83; PC-$4.82. The main instrument of data collection in this survey of library technical processing centers was a _questionnaire sent to sixteen network coordina- tors. Following a review of current literature, re- sults of the questionnaire are discussed with re- gard to five areas: (1) each network's means of identification (definition) of processing centers, (2) types of clients served, (3) means by which librar- ies became clients, (4) charges levied, and (5) needs of processing centers for continuing access to cataloging data .. Each network's definition of a processing center is presented; statistical tables present data from the other four areas of concern in the questionnaire. Information from "Totcat Network Billings" supports a discussion on sys- tem use data. Tables are used to show system activity of institution, proportions of first-time uses, distribution of titles produced, and other in- formation. In the next section, a table lists thirty- two commercial processing centers and indicates which of four standard services are available through each (book catalog services, book proces- sing kits, cataloging services, or printed catalog cards). Appendixes containing the processing cen- ter questionnaire and cover memorandum, an essay on the state-of-the-art of processing centers in Wisconsin, and network billing data complete the report. A Comparative Evaluation of Alternative Systems for the Provision of Effective Access to Periodical Literature. A Report to the National Commission on Libraries and Information Science. Washington, D.C.: National Commission on Libraries and Information Science, 1979. 122p. ED 184 576. MF-$0.83; PC-$7.82. This evaluative study hypothesizes and addres- ses three system approaches to a National Periodicals Center (NPC) that could be pursued at this time: (1) System A, a nonintervention approach that assumes events will be allowed to develop without introduction of federal legislation designed to subsidize or create a National Periodicals System (NPS) or an NPC; (2) System B, the creation of a centralized single-collection NPC as a main component of an NPS, subsidized with federal funds; and (3) System C, the creation of a subsidized utility that offers requesting li- braries access tools for identifying the location of periodical articles and performs switching of re- quests for article copies to multiple market- oriented, fee-charging supplier sources. This sys- tem would be coupled with the creation and op- eration of a dedicated NPC market-type collec- tion for items not covered by market-oriented document suppliers. The study's overall view is that cost economies by themselves do not provide a rationale for adopting either system B or C, and that there are other criteria of greater importance that warrant further study. Chapters of the report discuss background, systems and issues , and criteria elements , and analyze financial costs and benefits as well as qualitative issues. Tables and figures provide relevant data. Training Modules for Use of Scientific and Technical Information Services. By Elaine Caruso. Washington, D.C.: National Science Foundation, 1977. 14lp. ED 184 505. MF-$0.83; PC-$9.32. Intended for users of on-line bibliographic re- trieval systems , this set of learning modules in- corporates instructional aids in three modes: tex- tual, computer-assisted learning, and emulations of actual systems (DIALOG and ORBIT) that ac- cess a data base of segments of more than sixty commonly used source files. The textual materials can be used with local or remote access to the target systems, the emulators can be accessed re- motely or brought up on any computer system supporting ANSI FORTRAN, and the computer- assisted learning and practice (CALP) sequences can be accessed remotely or implemented on a system that maintains a capable lesson designer- type language. The modules are followed by sec- tions on data base structure and organization , analyses and evaluations of the modules and the collected use data, and the dissemination of the training program . Appendixes contain selected pages from two retrieval training manuals, an illustration of use of CALP modules by trainees , excerpts from runs of DIALOG and ORBIT emu- lators, data collection forms, summaries of. system use, abstracts of FORTRAN programs , a descrip- tion of a proposed cooperative project, and a list of published articles and papers on scientific and technical information services. A Conservation Policy Statement for Re- search Libraries. Occasional Paper no. 139. By Carolyn Clark Morrow. Urbana, Ill.: Graduate School of Library Science, Univ. of Illinois, 1979. 25p. ED 184 533. MF-$0.83; PC not available from EDRS. Desig11ed to provide logical guidelines and to outline optimum conditions for the conservation of a research library collection , this "mock" policy statement can be modified to a particular library's situation. It includes principles of conservation and elements of a comprehensive conservation program , such as collection maintenance and organization of a conservation department. A selection of sixty-four readings provides the basis for further study of conservation administration in a research library.

Final Re- port. By Julie Burr and Don Willis . Seat- tle: Seattle Univ., 1979. 103p. ED 184 549. MF~$0.83; PC-$7.82. A project was undertaken jointly by the Seattle Public Library and Seattle University's Commu- nity Resource Center to establish a method of making pertinent information available to com- munity group members . Activities of the Com- munity Resource Center were to: (1) coordinate a computerized directory of community groups, (2) publish a newsletter, (3) edit five case studies of community activities , (4) answer information and referral requests, (5) form a community informa- tion advisory committee, and (6) design and im- plement the project evaluation. The Seattle Pub- lic Library pursued these activities: preparation for the establishment of a community resource system , establishment of neighborhood resource centers, training sessions for library staff, and project promotion. Activities of both project par- ticipant groups were evaulated through question- naires given to branch library staffs, project staff, and key persons involved with the project. Use of neighborhood resource centers was evaluated through preproject and follow-up questionnaires sent to leaders of community groups . Effective- ness of the program and plans for its second year complete the report, with information-gathering tools and samples of community publications appended. Assimilation of Government Publications in Study and Research. Final Report, July 1, 1978, through June 30, 1979. By Bev- erly P. Lynch. Chicago: Univ. of Illinois at Chicago Circle, 1979. 24p. ED 184 571. MF-$0.83; PC-$1.82. This report describes a four-day institute funded by the U. S. Office of Education to in- crease the utilization of government publications by extending the knowledge of academic refer- ence librarians about them. Librarians from twen- ty-five universities attended the institute. Discus- sion of the use of government publications was divided into three broad subject disciplines: humanities, social sciences, and sciences. Avail- able publications and materials were enumerated, and speakers provided examples of the use of government information sources in their research. An evaluation of the institute follows , with a dis- cussion of the responses to the questionnaire given to the participants . The majority of re- sponses were positive, and it is recommended that additional regional institutes be held to in- form reference librarians of available publications, as well as a national institute. Appended to the report are the agenda for the institute, a list of the twenty-seven reference librarians who partici- pated, and the questionnaire that was distributed. First Annual Progress Report on the Course-Related Library Instruction Pro- gram. Muncie, Ind.: Department of Li- brary Science, Ball State Univ., 1979. 37p. ED 184 581. MF-$0.83; PC- $3.32. . This annual report describes the first-year progress of a project funded by grants from the National Endowment for the Humanities and Council for Library Resources for the integration of the teaching of library use into courses in the humanities. The program has experienced a shift away from early efforts to offer specialized in- . struction in a variety of courses and course sec- tions in the humanities toward development, over several years, of instruction on two levels. The first involves integration of instruction into an English composition course, proceeding to a second level that will involve instructional com- ponents keyed to selected courses in the major and minor sequences of various academic depart- ments in the humanities, emphasizing the bib- liography and literature of the particular humani- ties discipline. Two essential factors will deter- mine future prospects for bibliographic instruc- tion at Ball State University: one is the willing- ness and ability of the department of library sci- ence to produce and use various media methods for instruction ; the other is the department's suc- cess in organizing its range of instruction and orientation activities, especially the CLRI prog- ram and the present general instruction service, into a cohesive and unified program . Five-Year Report and Evaluation of the Li- brary-Faculty Partnership Project: 1973- 1978. By Dennis E. Robison and Ernest C. Bolt, Jr. Richmond, Va.: Univ. of Richmond. 254p. ED 181 865 .. MF- $0.83; PC-$16.82. This collection of materials describes a project at the University of Richmond that addressed the areas of faculty development and bibliographic in- struction in order to promote relationships be- tween library services and academic programs, as well as to increase and improve students' use of libraries . Over a period of four years, fifteen faculty members selected to serve as "library partners" were given released time from teaching to design or revise existing courses and to de- velop library-centered teaching approaches. The report includes the proposal for this project, a year-by-year review of project activities, and assessments of project impact on faculty and li- braries. Appendixes contain faculty participation reports, criteria for selection of faculty, a list of faculty participants, sources checked for collection development, criteria for weeding, a bibliography of faculty publications and papers, a description and evaluation of a self-instructional unit for teaching library skills to freshmen in English clas- ses, a sample faculty interview questionnaire, a summary of the Earlham College workshop on bibliographic instruction, and a proposal for the continuation of the library-faculty partnership.

Vacation College: An Opportunity for Librarians. By Richard J. Wood. 1979. 55p. ED 181 913. MF-$0 .83 ; PC- $4.82. This library skills program , which is offered by Slippery Rock State College (Pennsylvania) as part of its Vacation College program , was de- veloped for adults who have been out of school many years . The vacation college concept of lei- sure and lifelong learning emphasizes the learn- ing of recreational activities , along with more practical and intellectual courses such as the li- brary skills program , in a relaxed, informal man- ner: the course is low cost and of one week's duration. The major concern of the library skills program , which is 'designed to raise the level of consciousness of the participants toward the li- brary and its services, is to make the course en- joyable as well as instructional for persons on vacation and out of school. Five one-and-a-half- hour sessions use a mix of tours, demonstrations, slides, films , discussions , and lectures to achieve understanding by the participants of the re- sources , services, roles, objectives, and problems of the library. Evaluation of the program shows it to be enjoyable and rewarding for the participants and the instructors. Appendixes provide a brief questionnaire , a participants' handbook, and a bibliography.
