Vol. 7, No. 10 January, 1926 GENERAL EXTENSION DIVISION RECORD UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA EXTENSION LIBRARY SERVICE wT Package LibrartGs ARY OF THE ‘‘FLORIDA FIRST” PUBLISHED BY THE UNIVERSITY. > Entered as second class matter. Issued semi-monhtly for ten months, September-June , GAINESVILLE, FLORIDA PACKAGE LIBRARIES Through the Bureau of Public Information, the General Extension Divi- sion acts as a clearing house for all kinds of general information on ques- tions, outside of agriculture and home economics, which may be of value to individuals or groups. When information cannot be supplied directly, re- quests are referred to the proper authorities in the various State and govern- ment departments, boards and bureaus, colleges, universities and other public welfare agencies, many of which the average citizen knows nothing about or concerning which he is unaware of his rights and privileges in asking for information and service. In order to facilitate this work the Bureau has com- piled a large number of package libraries on subiects of general interest. What It Is.—A package library is a collection of material clipped from the best current magazines, bulletins and reports, bearing directly or indirect- ly on a subiect. The articles are mounted, dated and labeled so that the bor- rower has authority for the information given. In short, a package lhbrary saves the individual the difficulty of searching for material and the expense of purchasing it. It gives, in a single package, information which would re- quire hours of time to find. Subjects Covered.—In main, libraries are listed under general subjects; as, for instance, under Russia are included articles on the Government, Indus- tries, Relief Work, etc. If material is desired on subjects not listed"in this bulletin, all inquiries for such material will be given careful attention and an effort will be made to furnish the applicant with information on the sub- ject desired. In order to keep the files up to date, it is necessary to eliminate from time to time libraries on subjects that pass from current interest, as the Anglo-Japanese Alliance. Such subjects are not included in the list of sub- jects, but libraries on them are available for those who desire them. Who May Use Package Libraries.—These libraries are primarily for the use of club women to aid them in their study; of teachers for class discus- sion; of High School students for debates, orations and themes; or of individ- uals who desire help in the preparation of papers and speeches on questions of present-day interest. Teachers of history will find the package libraries of value in the study of late historical events. English teachers will find in the following list interesting subjects for themes which will give the student information on world topics ,as well as the necessary drill in composition. Seniors can make use of these package libraries in writing their commencement orations. While it is the desire of the department to be of assistance to anyone in the state, it is hoped that people in search of information will make use of the library facilities in their own communities before ordering package li- braries from the Extension Division. If borrowers will state exactly what phase of a subject they are working upon, instead of giving a broad, general subject, we can send much more satisfactory information. In writing for material the applicant should state: The subject desired; its purpose, whether for debate, club paper, or study, and the date when the paper must be ready. Rules Governing the Service-—These package libraries are sent out sub- ject to the following regulations: 1. Package libraries may be retained for a period of two weeks. Upon request, a loan may be renewed for two weeks, if the renewal will not incon- venience other borrowers. 2. A fine of 5 cents per day is charged for package libraries kept overtime. 3. High school pupils wishing to borrow package libraries should do so through a teacher or the principal. 4. When a package library is received, count the number of articles included, and before returning it, check the number again to make sure that no material is missing. The borrower is held responsible for every item. 5. Books and packages of printed matter weighing over four pounds are sent by parcel post. matter. vision for all postage. Small packages of printed matter go as third-class The borrower is expected to reimburse the General Extension Di- Books must be wrapped in corrugated board. 6. Please do not return package libraries that have been held by people in quarantine. Notify the General Extension Division what your health offi- cer says about it and the Division will then notify you whether or not they are to be returned. This is for your own protection.
