Tom Kirk, who had been science librarian at 
Earlham College since 1965 and was on leave this 
past year to serve as acting d irec to r, Library/ 
Learning C e n te r, U ni­
v e rsity  of W is c o n s in - 
Parkside, becam e col­
lege librarian at Berea 
C o lle g e , B erea, K en­
tucky, on July 1.

P e rh a p s th e  m ost 
a s tu te  a d m in is tra tiv e  
m ove I e v e r m ade at 
Earlham was convincing 
Tom, who was th e n  a 
student assistant in the 
lib ra ry  a nd in te n d in g  
to b e co m e  a biology Palladium-Item 
teacher, that after grad­ Richmond, Ind.
u a tion he sh o u ld  b e ­ Tom Kirk
come Earlham ’s science
librarian and a tte n d  library school d uring the 
summers. That he did, and even before he got 
his M .L.S. from Indiana University in 1969, it 
was apparent he was going to have an impact on 
academic librarianship.

E arlham  s Science L ibrary was becom ing a 
model for many colleges, and Tom soon became 
known throughout the country for his work in 
bibliographic instruction. He has served as chair 
of both ALA’s Instruction in the Use of Libraries 
Committee and the ACRL Bibliographic Instruc­
tion Task Force, and was instrumental in prepara­
tion of the “Guidelines for Bibliographic Instruc­
tion in Academic Libraries,” approved as policy 
by the ACRL Board in 1977. He has spoken at 
many programs and workshops, has taught at the 
Indiana University Graduate Library School, and 
serves on several editorial boards. He has pub­
lished n um erous article s and is the au th o r of 
several books, the latest of which are Library Re­
search Guide to Biology (Pierian Press, 1978) and 
Course-Related and Literature-U se Instruction: 
Working Models f o r  Programs in Undergraduate 
Science Education (Jeffrey N orton, 1979). C ur­
rently he is chair of ACRL’s Science and Technol­
ogy Section.

It is with mixed feelings that I write all this. 
On the one hand, I am delighted for Tom. Berea 
has a fine library, and the college administration 
is eager to make it an excellent one, one that will



206

play an increasingly important role in Berea’s im­
pressive educational program. In the effort to 
accomplish that and to insure the efficient and 
effective administration of the library, Tom was 
an obvious choice, and there’s no question that 
he’ll do a superb job in achieving Berea s goals. 
Moreover, Berea provides the kind of community 
in which Tom and his wife, Betsy, can be as 
active as they were at Earlham.

On the other hand, we ll miss Tom. Not only 
did he make an im portant contribution to the 
education and training of Earlham science stu­
dents (and faculty), but he also played an un­
usually active and significant role in many areas 
of college life and administration. For me, he has 
been not only a good friend, but also a constant 
source of support and inspiration. What the Earl­
ham library is today, what I have been able to 
accomplish, is in large part due to him. I only 
hope he’ll have someone who’ll be as helpful, as 
creative, and as much fun to be with as he was 
for me.—Evan Ira Farber.

If you think that retrospective conversion
is a long way down the road . . .

The REMARC Database
The MARC program has enabled librarians everywhere to benefit 

from access to about one-sixth of L C s  total cataloging efforts. 
REMARC offers access to the remaining five-sixths.

You know the contents of the more than one million MARC records. Here’s what the 
more than five million REMARC records will contain:

pre-1968 materials in all languages.
1968-1971 materials in all languages other than English,
1972- 1973 materials in all languages other than English and French,
1973- 1974 materials in all languages other than English, French, Spanish and 

Portuguese and,
1975-1978 materials in all languages using other than the Roman alphabet.

Libraries, service bureaus, and other customers will receive "h it" records (which 
match libraries' holdings) on a quarterly basis beginning October, 1980. Production will 
proceed at a rate of some 1.4 million records per year until the scheduled completion 
date in 1984.

The main database covers all LC records cataloged prior to December 31, 1978. 
Annual supplements will update the collection.

The records will be offered online via established telecommunications services, and 
offline on magnetic tape, C O M ,computer printout, and catalog cards.They may be 
purchased directly from  Carrollton Press or indirectly through service bureaus, 
networks, or circulation control systems contractors.

 



for your library

. . . now is the time to find out how far
THE REMARC DATABASE 
can take you.

You may want to start sooner.

The REMARC Record
REMARC records are designed for use in both online catalogs and 

circulation control/ILL systems.
Although it will not contain all of the detailed data in a full MARC record, the 

REMARC record will include the following items in MARC format: complete main entry; 
including author’s dates and other descriptors; full title up to the first major 
punctuation; edition statement; place of publication; publisher; date of publication; 
designation of transliterated entries; full tracings, including subject, series, title, and 
author added entries (each tagged separately); complete LC call number (including 
brackets and suffixes); the full LC card number; and finally, the most com m on 
diacritical marks will be included on main entries, titles, and tracings (for printout on 
equipment with appropriate character sets). In the case of non-Roman records, only 
those fields which have been transliterated will be included.

In offline retrospective conversion projects, the price per record will vary with the size 
of the collection and with the method of identifying the non-MARC records to be 
converted. In most cases however, this price should not exceed fifty cents per “ hit” (the 
transfer of the REMARC record (on magnetic tape) to a library or its service bureau for 
use within a specified constituency). The prices for abbreviated records and offline 
printouts should be even lower.
