JOURNAL OF LIBRARY 
AUTOMATION

The first issue of a new quarterly, the Jour­
nal of Library Automation, appeared on April 
26. The only periodical devoted to use of 
computers in libraries, it heralds the libraries 
of the future. The new periodical is an of­
ficial publication of the Information Science 
and Automation Division of ALA. Serving as 
editor is Frederick G. Kilgour, director of the 
Ohio College Library Center, Columbus. On 
the editorial board are Susan Artandi, Rutgers 
University; Joseph Becker, EDUCOM; Vemer 
W. Clapp, Council on Library Resources; 
A. J. Goldwyn, Case Western Reserve Univer­
sity and Frederick H. Ruecking, Jr., Rice Uni­
versity.

The Journal of Library Automation will pub­
lish original contributions in all fields of re­
search and development in library automation, 
including interlibrary communications; in re­
search in information science directly related 
to library activities; and in the history and 
teaching of these subjects. The issue published 
in April contains articles from the university 
libraries of Stanford, Harvard, Texas A & I, 
Michigan, and Brown. Computers are used in 
each of these libraries.

The Council on Library Resources has made 
a grant of $21,000 to the American Library 
Association to give financial assistance to the 
Journal of Library Automation for its first 
three years, after which it will be self-support­
ing.

The Journal is printed on Permalife paper, 
which is guaranteed to last five hundred years. 
Typesetting has been done from punched 
paper tape, which is being retained by the 
Journal for future computer storage and re­
trieval. In order to have all headings and 
textual material punched on tape, format for 
the Journal utilizes only two typefaces.
