   • summary: If the past decade has offered to this imperfect world convincing evidence of the wisdom of the old adage, it is perhaps equally important that we accept as a corollary its reverse and devote ourselves now to the proposition that in time of war we should prepare for peace. Libraries, which have splendidly demon- strated their particular uses in war, are primarily instruments for the preservation and widening of the ways of peace.

    • summary: It is also our busi- ness to squash the pumpkins who think they would like library work because they would always rather read than study or work. Selection of student assistants by tlte librarian through a year's training and the rotation of library tasks to give famili- arity with as many phases of library work as possible have been the outstanding fea- tures of our program.

    • summary: In the words of the author the purpose of the study has been to discover the scope of the subject content of the present output of the publishing offices of the SEPTEMBER, 1943 United States government and to trace the trend of subject emphasis in govern- ment publications since the turn of the century. The general trend over the forty-year period has been upward for both, although in general the increase in expenditures for printing and processing government publications has not kept pace with the corresponding increase in operat- ing expenditures for the government over the same period.

Public and teaching exhibi- tions in the Wellesley College Library are described in the annual report of the li- brarian for the year 1941-42.24 T h e cus- todian of the Chapin Library at Williams College has contributed two of the most significant and stimulating articles to be found in the literature of library exhibits.

    • summary: Unfortunately, this auditorium for the last two years has had to be used for other purposes, but once it is again available, 31 the hope is to resume its use for group meet- ings, for forums, and for other activities of community, public library, and college interest. As is usual with college libraries, the funds appropriated to the university library for buying books and periodicals are allo- cated to departments of the university, except for · a percentage retained by the li- brarian, to be 4sed at his discretion to keep the collection in balance and for general and reference purchases.

By this plan a library would become more selective in mo st fields but mo r e inclusive than before in certain limited fields for which it agrees to assume re sponsibility and for which it will freely furnish book's to others by inter- library loan, by photographic reproduction, or by caring for visiting scholars, thus retaining its self-re spect when it calls on other libraries for help.

The sugges- tions for Harvard College take the form of definite curricula that require ( i ) the pursuit of a given number of courses in general edu- cation not previously offered and (2) the modification of other courses previously given that will emphasize general education as well as special education, to which they have here- tofore been largely devoted.

These agencies may offer to sell positive film copies of individual books, newspapers, periodicals, and manuscripts at a fixed price per title, or they may require subscription to an entire filming project, involving many titles or manuscripts, at an annual subscription cost or at a fixed subscription rate for the entire series.

The criticism has been advanced that the literature of library surveys, relatively new as it is, has already fallen into a r u t ; that each new survey merely repeats the same old patterns; and that if you have read one, you have read all.

This has produced the dilemma about which Sigerist feels deeply, for unless a solution is found, the researchers will desert the universities and these, because university education be- comes sterile the moment it is divorced from research, will become educational mills im- parting second-hand knowledge (p. 62).

Interesting as many of the details are in this section, its ineffective organization and incompleteness make it less important (and useful to librarians) than the latter half of the book, which is given over to a two-part bibliography—the much larger first part to little magazines, the second to the fellow travelers of little magazines—and a first-rate index.

There is another reason for not having some of the services given by industrial libraries: SOIJle scientists feel, largely ' because of tradi- tion, that there is no wholly adequate substi- tute for being their own research survey librarians.

This was the education of the few, and it combined, as the work of the university still combines liberal education in the arts ' . and professional training in the higher sub- jects.

But that:' I should say, is a bit further ad- vanced-not for the beginner but rather for the junior or senior who has progressed to the question, How do I become a discrimi- nating collector? This volume is based on a series of lectures given at the University of Michigan, partly to explain the William L. Clements Library, but chiefly to preach the fun we find in col- lecting books, manuscripts, maps and prints.

     • summary: Dr. Metcalf an Dr. Osborn, in the survey of the New Y or State Library, have approached their problem within the limits they had prescribed fo themselves, but they have also set forth a pattern that should be useful to officials in other state libraries. $10o,ooo should be allotted for clearing up the backlog of uncataloged materials; cataloging should be simplified; the reference service should be 467 extended by adding the history and periodical sections to its responsibility; a new charging system should be introduced; large quantities of duplicates should be removed from the stacks; a legislative reference service program, modeled after that of a similar service in the Library of Congress, should be established; changes should be made in the location of certain units for more effective utilization of space; the medical section should be a work- ing rather than a historical library; a system of approved, permanent methods and records . should be set up for the order work and cataloging; superfluous or overlapping cata- logs should be eliminated or consolidated; all cataloging work should be centralized in the cataloging department; a positive acquisition program, based on the objectives of the state library, should be inaugurated; the work of the state library should be linked with the state-wide program of library service; and a branch of the state library to serve state agencies should be set up in New York City.

The over-all grouping of linguistic families and languages follows the excellent and authoritative works of Meillet and Cohen, Les langues du monde (Paris, 1924) and Kieckers, Die Sprachstamme der Erde (Heidelberg, 1931).

     • summary: Facilities outside the main department will continue to be developed on the theory that, beyond a certain point in the growth of the program, it will prove desirable to decentralize f u r t h e r the use of audio-visual materials through integration, on the one hand, with the subject depart- ments of the library and, on the other hand, through controlled distribution to speech, music, psychology, language, art, and other instructional departments in which use is intensive. T h e decision to administer audio-visual services through the library was f u r t h e r supported by the conviction that, in the long view, their contribution to instruction, and especially, to research will depend less upon the manipulation of mechanical devices in the classroom than upon the systematic acquisition and organization of audio-visual resources for instruction and research—that is, upon the creation of an audio-visual li- brary in the literal, accepted sense.

According to a Nov. 22, 1947, re- lease from the U. S. Bureau of Labor Sta- tistics, the rise in food prices has brought the food index for September 1947 to 203.5 per cent of the 1935-39 average.10 These conditions are directly responsible for the considerable turnover of staffs in junior college libraries.

This allows the reproduction of more than I I square feet, corresponding to about I 5 newspaper- pages or I 50 pages of a reference book of customary size, plus extra space for the title, on one piece of cut film.

Constitution to allow for such action. Bulletin and issuing divisional quarterlies, the committee refrain from polling A.C.R.L. membership as sug- gested in their report to the board on June 14; that all libraries subscribing to more than one copy receive the additional sub- scriptions at a reduction of fifty cents for each subscription after the first; and that the committee receive an allotment of $6o for the purpose of furthering its work.

     • summary: Pres- ident McEwen is certainly correct in say- ing5 that any complete acceptance of college librarians as full colleagues must await proof that the librarians are genuine participants in the shared interests of the faculty in teaching and research. Emphasis should be, to quote once more from President McEwen's letter, on securing for college library staffs more men and women who are themselves edu- cators in some real sense, who are in college library work not because they are librarians, but because it is the library part of the college program which particularly appeals to them.

Some college library staffs gi~e formal credit courses to students in the use of the library, the courses continuing in most cases throughout one semester or term.

Bishop) ; The world's best code of rules (C. J. Farrell) ; When this code is translated into English it will no doubt be very much used in American libraries (H. D. MacPherson) were among the printed encomiums.

     • summary: The first of these was to acquaint librarians with the thinking and experience of three men who knew a great deal about rare books and the problems of caring for them in university libraries. For it is true that most university libraries now recognize the tremendous importance of rare books not only for purposes of scholarship but also for their other values and this recognition has led our libraries to provide proper personnel (e.g. Wyllie and Alden) and sound, bibliographical protection for rare books.

After treating broadly various considerations which bear upon the relation of an architect, it stresses skill, imagination, cooperativeness and in- tegrity as the all-important qualifications in an individual or firm , thus rating them above experience and expertness in the construction of library buildings.

Thompson, Sir Frederic G. Kenyon, Schubart, Wattenbach and the many other authorities in the field, and I am sure Mr. Pinner knows their work.

It would then seem that for the smaller, departmental, or more specialized library it would be better to classify and catalog the Chinese publications in accordance with the accepted procedure for other books.

     • summary: Grounds of Federal Support for Research Libraries The Library of Congress presented a report setting forth two possible grounds for Federal support of research libraries, namely that such libraries render service to agencies of the Federal government and that the research resources of the country as held by such libraries constitute a national resource which it is in the national interest to sustain and develop. The report implied, however, that at the present time the possibility of legisla- tion by Congress for any general contribution 'to the support of research libraries was hardly to be expected.

Even in the most efficient library systems the whole complex of information-dispens- ing, surely the most important function of a library, usually employs no more com- plicated tools than these, and these only for recording information.

     • summary: Although we speak of the study of politics as political science, there is considerable difference of opinion among political scientists as to whether their scholarly discipline has actually reached the status of a science. Part of his problem is to find out what the actual facts are so that he can discover how they fit into pat- terns, and how these patterns can be used to explain rules of political behavior or pos- sibly to forecast future political behavior or trends.

     • summary: So few contributions of significance have been made to the literature of the admini- stration of government documents collections that any addition to it is sure to be received with attentive interest by a wide audience of documents librarians and library administra- tors. Instead of ar- rangement by major department, subdivided by subordinate agency, on the principles of the Superintendent of Documents classifica- tion system for federal government publica- tions, she advocates direct arrangement of agencies without regard to their place in the government hierarchy, in an alphabetical sub- ject arr.angement to be brought about by selecting a key word in the title of the agency that will indicate its subject specialization and if possible place it in juxtaposition to other kindred agencies.

     • summary: About half of the text is a brief, comprehensive overview of library operations, including discussions of the na- ture of technical libraries, requirements for and qualifications of the staff, budget planning, physical layout a'nd equipment, and the selec- tion, acquisition and organization for use of library materials. Most, if not all of the previous studies of use of the subject catalog suggest that this approach to library materials is less-used than tradition maintains.

     • summary: Of course there will be some to argue the accuracy and reliability of this study since its conclusions run counter to tradit.ional concepts of library service long held. But to those others who are perceiving that modern APRIL, 1952 economics preclude perpetuation of lovely traditions unless they contribute markedly to the over-all quality of library service, this study will offer some hope of reconciling budget and service.

     • summary: Except for some elision and the substitution of library work for social work, the above topics are actually the chapter headings of the Hollis-Taylor study. It is said that libraries will, and should, continue to be _as complete as their individual resources will permit, that they can solve the problem either at the national or regional level through co- operation ·in storage and acquisition, that inter- library loan is not an adequate substitute for immediate access, that the importance of im- mediate access is tangible but quantitatively and qualitatively unknown, that the solution is not one of contraction in collecting and services, but greater public recognition and support, that federal and industrial support of large research libraries may be a partial an- swer, that the relation of collections to bibli- ography-local, regional, national, subject-is important, but imperfectly understood.

     • summary: This study of social work education was OCTOBER, 1952 done with the assistance of Alice L. Taylor, training consultant, Bureau of Public Assist- ance, Federal Security Agency, and in consul- tation with many others in the field of higher education in general and social work educa- tion in particular. Working backwards with respect to the above list of topics, six different organizations are now engaged in some form of accredita- tion of social work education or have ex- pressed such intentions: (I) American Association of Medical Social Workers; (2) American Association of Psychiatric Social Workers; ( 3) American Association of Group Workers; (4) National Association of School Social Workers; (5) American Association of Schools of Social Work (54 schools accredited up to I950) ; and ( 6) National Association of Schools of Social Work Administration (list- ing 39 members in I950).

It is fascinating, if not vital, to know that most of the librarians queried would again choose librarianship, that they went into li- brary work because they liked books and people, that male librarians rate highest on the career potential scale as musicians, and that 87% read for recreation.

     • summary: By using a Keysort card with double rows of punches on the margins, the library staff was able to code in- formation about the students' reading hab~ts that could later be translated into library reports to ·the faculty and administration as indications of the quality of service the library provided and of the effect of library use on the students' performance in class. The relatively small number of articles on library applications of punched card systems has shown a conscious effort on the part of the writers to use terms familiar to any librarian with an ordinary knowledge of mathematics, but Dr. McGraw takes the extra precaution of warning readers on page 61 of his book: (Librarians who have had no experience with 401 marginal puncl!ed cards may find it advisable to skip the remaining section q_f this chapter.

Active participation of other libraries will bring closer the day when the American scholar will have ready access to vast quanti- ties of information hitherto available to him only at great cost and after considerable delays.

     • summary: It pointed out that the reason why so many librarians of research institutions are as yet relatively unaware of the staggeringly high cost of their book storage is that, in the extremely misleading forms of accounting which libraries are now following, book storage costs are almost entirely con- cealed costs. In other words, book storage cost alone is so extremely large a proportion of all book costs that, in the vast majority of cases, it alone outweighs all microtext costs.

Within the scope of basic source materials are included national and state legislative, executive, and judicial materials, newspapers and periodicals, and miscellaneous selected documentary materials, both official and non- official in character.

     • summary: T h e reasons which are JULY, 1953 317 given for this may be listed under headings such as ( i ) improved services, which include a better system of ordering and scheduling of films and improved techniques for keeping faculty informed of materials available; (2) more materials available in a larger number of fields, they can be obtained from nearby sources, quality is improved, the cost is less, and colleges have made more filmstrips and enlarged their slide collections; ( 3 ) physical equipment and facilities—new buildings have audio-visual facilities, equipment is better and there is more of it; (4) administration and faculty are more sympathetic toward the use of audio-visual teaching aids, they are more aware of the wide range available and of their value in instruction; too, more faculty mem- bers are prepared to use them; ( 5 ) more publicity given these materials, for coordina- tors and directors of audio-visual centers and librarians have carried on a continuous cam- paign to increase their use. T h e questionnaire was designed to gather information regarding audio-visual aids used, the subject fields in which used, selection of materials, the handling of those of which the library has charge, the records kept to facili- tate ordering, scheduling, lending of films and other materials, and suggestions for improve- ment of their present programs.

     • summary: The strength of this book lies in the newness of the author's approach, his inquisitiveness about the reasons why printed books came into being in England ; what caused them to be written in the first place; how they got selected for publication; what the role of the patron was in this proc- ess; what the author got out of it; what social classes the readers of various types of printed books belonged to and what their education was; whether Church and State hindered or encouraged the booktrade and how and why; and many other related major and minor questions. It is proba- ble that the student of English literature and the bibliographer specializing in English books and printing will hardly miss references to the continental scene.

The committee was of the opinion that the most effective place to record holdings of American libraries in agriculture and medicine would be in these publications, in which case they should be excluded from an expanded L C Catalog.

Then came Ferdinand Eichler who wanted to develop library science into a science of values and library policy into world policy, a proposal so utterly unreal that Adolph von Harnack promptly attacked it in good set terms.

In the spring of 1952, the Library Department asked for the opportunity to take part in the program of the 1953 Faculty Day in order to demonstrate to the teachers the role the Library played in the College's efforts to realize its educational goals.

In other cases, variations from ALA rules and Library of Congress practice are indicated, with suggestions to catalogers in Catholic libraries for bringing these entries into conformity with Catholic usage, as for Biblical and Apocryphal Books of the Bible (though we note here that those Books not included in the Catholic canon would be treated as anonymous classics and entered under accepted names).

     • summary: An introductory chapter, The Practice of Reference, treats very briefly the place of reference work in library organization, with definitions and explanations of the six com- ponent functions. Chapter 18, The Sciences, is the work of Helen Folke of Western Reserve University, who introduces the student competently to a few of the principal sources and characteris- tics of reference work in the field.

     • summary: Li- brary school students equipped with this text, together with Constance Winchell's Guide to Reference Books for reference use, and M a r - garet Hutchins' fine Introduction to Reference Work, cited frequently in the reading lists, for a much more extended treatment of the principles and methods of reference work, are fortunate indeed. Because a library may be judged as su- perior or mediocre by its success or deficiency in public relations policies, and because the literature on this subject is found only oc- casionally in the form of journal articles or among the closing pages of books on library administration, it is necessary for those seek- ing enlightenment in this vital area to reach out to other fields and to their experts.

     • summary: An institution should know the traits which designate it a public character, and these qualities should be employed to advantage when public relations plans are being con- ceived. The error made most frequently is to as- sume that public relations need only be used for matters warranting a newspaper story.

     • summary: It boldly points out the fact that few studies in library service give cold facts; we all are much too often satisfied with opinions and guesses. Some attention is also given to national and international cooperation in library service, but, except for a number of citations to li- brary literature, there is no discussion of the part played by subject specialists and refer- ence librarians in assisting researchers.

     • summary: Even while recognizing that many administrative problems are perhaps best answered by sub- jective conclusions based in rich experience, one can only agree heartily with the authors that the amount of illuminating research in- to library problems is distressingly low. In this new edition the undergraduate library appears for the first time as a significant trend in academic libraries, and on the dismal side, we hear seriously for the first time about the problem of labeling.

     • summary: Although the university press at Cambridge has printed books since the sixteenth century, its publishing activities are fairly recent. Unlike the editors of Webster's Collegiate Dictionary, those Cantabrigians who guide the Sandars Lectures in Bibliography are well aware that bibliography is neither confined to the history or description of books and manuscripts, nor to lists of writings.

     • summary: Of course, this is not at all to quarrel with the anthologist's right to select as his judgment directs, provided his bases of se- lection are good, nor in any way to deny Mr. Marshall's statement: It is inevitable in a volume such as this that someone's very favorite piece of library literature will have been omitted. While it is true that all classifiers will agree on the class for most books, many classifiers will disagree on the class of many books, re- gardless of the editors' intentions.

     • summary: However, if Mr. Haykin did not mean to imply that no changes should be made in the Dewey Clas- sification schedules by individual libraries, he should have expanded his article a little. Since general books on the subject of cotton in a small library usually cover at least two of these facets, it is better for them to have the subject confined to one class, say 633.5, with the possible exception of straight bo- tanical works, which it probably won't have anyway.

     • summary: O N of the Council on Li-brary Resources, Inc., an organiza- tion whose purpose is to assist in solving the problems of libraries generally and of research libraries in particular, was an- nounced today, following its initial meet- ing at the Ambassador Hotel, New York, at which it elected officers and voted to accept a $5,000,000 grant of funds from the Ford Foundation to support its initial activities over a five-year period. T h e council's purpose is to assist in the solution of the problems of libraries gen- erally, but more especially of the prob- lems of research libraries, by conducting or supporting research, demonstrating new techniques and methods, and dis- seminating the results, through grants for these purposes to institutions or individ- uals or in other ways, by coordinating efforts to improve the resources and serv- ices of libraries, and by improving rela- tions between American and foreign li- braries and archives.

T h e largest proportion of the annual budgets of uni- versity libraries is expended, not for books, but for library service and for the organization and acquisition of materials in the f o r m of salaries and wages.

     • summary: Students also had difficulty in finding wanted informa- tion on catalog cards.

     • summary: This is a drop of about 22 per cent from the peso's 1950 level in terms of U. S. currency, a factor in itself tending to facilitate American library purchasing of Mexican books. Price trends in Mexico, except through the temporary distortion introduced by the devaluation of the peso in April, 1954, are probably typical of the other Latin-American book trades, with the possible exception of Ar- gentina, thus making a price comparison between 1950 and 1954 prices significant from the standpoint of libraries in the United States.

He asks librarians to accept A-V materials as normal and to train library school students to provide and use them with an ease equal to that with which they serve readers with books.

     • summary: It should be evident, therefore, that unified bibliographical control over this variety of publishing forms is really the _ problem, and the difficulty is not caused by any form of informational freakish- ness which should force librarians or sci- entists to turn to machine storage in order to gain access to the material they need. Discussion as to the relative merits of card catalogs and storage machine fre- quently boils down to two capacities: high subject specificity and multiple sub- ject approach.

U nfor- tunately, not all Western German uni- versity libraries follow the recommended distribution, and therefore the Deutsche Bibliothek at Frankfurt/ Main does not receive all German dissertations.

     • summary: Neither could we count on the same amount of initial interest and en- thusiasm, for though many women un- doubtedly give of their best whatever the prospect of matrimony, it would not be reasonable to expect that in the aggregate a group of women would have the same incentive as a group of men whose whole future depended on their efforts. An illustrated article in praise of the vile creation besmirched the pages of The Library World for November, 1908; in it, the unfeeling Miss Frost wrote : Woman's place in the work of the world has been much discussed, but few will deny that she is eminently suited to Pub- lic Library work.

     • summary: Its use as a checklist for evaluating and detecting gaps in book collections is outstanding since it contains three times as many titles as the Shaw volumes; furthermore, as Philip J. McNiff, librarian of the La- mont Library, notes in his introduction to it, the Lamont catalog has distinctive value as an actual, working list rather than an ideal, theoretical listing of books. The faculty has been responsible for Lamont book selection.

     • summary: However, as evi- dence of growing awareness of the im- ' portance of such work, one might cite the following: (1) use of enlarged book budgets to build up holdings of dic- tionaries, encyclopedias, bibliogniphies, handbooks, and the like, and (2) plans to establish reference or reference-circu- lation positions as soon as possible in several libraries now lacking such posts. Before Zdobnov published his work, there had been several other works on Russian bib- liography, such as those of K. N. Derunov, A. I. Malein ::md A. G. Fomin.

     • summary: Stemming from the one root in England, but pursuing the divergent branches de- veloped in America, two small colleges (Haverford and Swarthmore) each under the outstandingly competent guidance of historian-librarians have amassed special collections including books, pam- phlets, journals, manuscripts, letters, archival records of meetings and associ- ations, microfilms, clippings, photo- graphs, genealogical records, and special indexes that together (or only eight miles apart) probably equal or perhaps excel any other Quaker collection in the world. Here is a selection of diverse Quaker entries, attractive through age, rarity, or utility: (1) with occasional cuts in the luxuriously flowing language of its seventeenth century title- page, the 1694 first edition of The ] our- nat or Historical Account of the Life, Travels, Sufferings, Christian Experi- ences and Labour of Love in the Work of the Ministry, of that Ancient, Emi- nent and Faithful Servant of jesus Christ, George Fox; (2) three holograph versions of John Woolman's 1774 jour- nal; (3) photographs of some 650 meet- ing houses; (4) the 1669 first edition of Penn's No Cross No Crown; (5) Jane Addams's personal correspondence deal- ing with her activities in peace move- ments, books from her personal library, and the gold medal given her with the Nobel peace award in 1931; (6) more than four hundred autograph letters of Lucretia Mott, antislavery and women's rights leader; (7) over a thousand record books (dating back to 1665) of Friends Meetings; (8) 210 · card index drawers of the Hinshaw genealogical analysis of Quaker meeting records; (9) more than four hundred letters of Elias Hicks; and (1 0) a collection of Whittier first edi- tions and manuscr,ipts.

     • summary: T h i s , we believe, will require eventually the development of branch libraries for certain professional schools now happily served by existing branches or in the main building, and this will lead to the need for duplicating materials now shared by many in some central location. Although we estimate that the emphasis on re- search and professional education at the University at Berkeley will bear power- fully on the library organization, we must not neglect the calculation that within, say, the next five years we shall have on the campus between 4,000 and 5,000 more undergraduate students who will not—as graduate and professional students tend to do—distribute them- selves over a series of branch libraries, but will work in the commoner materials usually found in a central library build- ing.

T h a t is, one of the major purposes of the study was to involve the administration and faculties, as well as the students, in the question of library service.

Other important results of the study: oral citations were the major source of references sought in the catalog; inexperience and un- familiarity with the catalog were frequent causes of difficulty; the number of search failures increased directly with the size of the catalog; divided catalogs failed only about half as often as dictionary catalogs; the subject part of the catalog was more dif- ficult to use, even for librarians, than the author-title parts; and cards under a given subject heading were usually selected by the patron according to date of publication rather than alphabetical position.

     • summary: Glaciers move faster than faculty status for librarians but it is evident in these general surveys extending from 1949 to 1957 (more evident if one goes back to the McMillen study of 1940) that the trend is in the direction of giving librarians full academic status with most of the rights and privileges of faculty members. A partial answer at least is supplied by comparing three general studies (gen- eral as applying to many institutions and as opposed to the study of a particular library personnel program) included in this A C R L monograph: Gelfand's 1949 survey of library staffs in fifty eastern liberal arts colleges, Lundy's 1951 study of faculty status for li- brarians in thirty-five representative univer- sities, and Downs's 1957 survey, the most recent of its kind, of the current status of library staffs in 115 major universities.

Errors were made in both respects, of course, that will be avoided in newer libraries and a number of problems have not yet been perfectly solved.

Tradition, leadership, and special circum- stances in each state have been different, thereby accounting for the variations in the practices and policies of off-campus services of state university libraries.

     • summary: However, it may be noted that there were eighty-two fewer people employed on June 29, 1958, than were employed July 14, 1957, each being the end of a pay period; growth was controlled by disposing of more than was received—5,560,000 pieces—through the ap- plication of increasingly rigid selection pol- icies; time required to process subscriptions and payments was reduced by 50 per cent in the order division by placing the Li- brary's periodical subscriptions on a three- year payment basis; the cataloging in source experiment was a major develop- ment, as well as the 9 per cent increase in cooperative cataloging which produced near- ly 12,300 titles during the year; the arrear- age of unsearched publications was reduced in the descriptive cataloging division from 105,000 in 1955 to 64,000 at the end of fiscal 1958; 1,075,000 cards, an increase of 16 per cent, were received in the Union Catalog division; 25 per cent more volumes were bound, for a total of 87,700; 928 new sub- scribers for LC cards accounted for a 5 per cent increase in the number of sub- scribers to this distribution service and a 6 per cent increase in the amount of money received, resulting in a recovery of 93 per cent of the total appropriations; nearly 1,600 American publishers, 300 more than last year, sent their new publications in advance of the date of issue and also printed the Library's catalog card numbers in the books themselves; the Legislative Reference Serv- ice's research and reference work for mem- bers and committees of Congress climbed to an all time high with a 14 per cent in- crease in the number of questions answered, to a total of 67,843, and other departments handled 37,346 congressional inquiries; in the reference department, one record that was broken is particularly laudable, in that the number of books lent to members of Congress rose by 42 per cent to a total of 77,000, thus becoming the largest single category of loans out of a record high of 207,141 loans; answers to reference questions reached a record high of 573,187, and an increase of 53 per cent in direct reference services in science and technology, supports Mr. Mumford's statement; the administrative department undertook an intensive study of the Library's requirements for a third building in view of the fact that the fifteen acres of floor space in the old building, and the twenty acres of floor space in the Annex, with a total capacity for 15,000,000 volumes, is becoming overcrowded; and the earned revenues from fees received by the Copy- right Office in pursuance of the copyright business were the largest in its history, JULY 1959 325 totaling $954,231. T h e r e is no disputing the primary ob- jective of this volume which is to present a reliable and annotated bibliography of Old Testament studies during the past dec- ade.

     • summary: O W I N G INTEREST in developments within the Soviet Union in the past few years has stimulated unprecedented American desire to gain access to infor- mation printed in Soviet publications. These circumstances combined lead to the following situation: a large propor- tion of all U.S. scientists and engineers are interested in the content of Soviet publication in their fields, but only a small percentage of this large group can read Russian; conversely only a small proportion of social scientists and hu- manists are interested in following So- viet developments in their disciplines, but of those who are interested in get- SEPTEMBER 1959 347 ting at the content of Soviet publications a very high percentage can read Rus- sian.1 Despite the above generalizations which indicate an apparent greater need of natural scientists and engineers for translations from the Russian, there is nevertheless a rather heavy demand for translations on the part of faculty mem- bers and researchers in other fields.

Three types of scholarly or research libraries may be identified: (1) special libraries serving a small area of learning; (2) university libraries which undertake to cover the whole field of scholarship;4 and (3) libraries which fall somewhere in between, such as special collections*)' made up largely of rare and out-of-print books dealing with the same or related subjects.5 Variations in aims and pur- poses of each type of research library occur and influence the collections.

Dix, librarian of Princeton Uni- versity and former executive secretary of A R L comments: Despite the huge sums involved in construction and equipment— a single university library building may cost several to many millions of dollars to build and equip—there is at present no compila- tion which can provide the planners of library buildings with the vast fund of avail- able information which should be brought to bear but which is now scattered.

     • summary: Such an investigation may reveal a different picture of Soviet libraries; for example, that a general statement pertain- ing to political indoctrination by libraries, which we take for granted, should be quali- fied as to types of library, or that Marxism- Leninism, despite the pronouncements, does not play a decisive role in the Soviet prefer- ence for the classified c a t a l o g . T h e arti- cles on various aspects of Soviet libraries which have appeared in American library periodicals and the UNESCO Bulletin for Libraries from time to time, although shed- ding much light on the topic under review, could not entirely satisfy the demand for an organized picture of the entire library system.

     • summary: The realistic facts of the problem of book selection in university libraries are: (1) no one person is competent to select individual titles on a broad general basis; (2) the volume of publication is so great that there must be some form of selection; (3) no library has the funds to acquire, the personnel to process, and the space to shelve everything that ap- pears; and (4) who can predict what may be significant for future research in the deluge of preserved information? These are but a few examples of the multiplicity of problems involved in book selection in university libraries.

     • summary: N AN EFFORT to avoid the extremes of no library instruction for college students and the required library course for all students, library instruction has fallen in our institution- a liberal arts, church- related college with student enrollment of 1,000-at a midway point between these two extremes. FoR THE FRESHMEN All freshmen, through their English classes (thirteen sections with an average of thirty students to the section this year), come to the library for one hour of library instruction near the beginning of the fall semester.

As a consequence, three proposals are made for further study-one a statistical study of entry duplication in divided catalogs of vari- ous sizes; a second to test a three-way split into authors, subjects, and titles; and the third an experiment in the horizontal di- vision of the catalog by date periods.

     • summary: It seems to me that reference books are an important enough category of library materials so that an an- nual cumulating supplement to the Mudge- vVinchell Guide should be produced to aid refernce librarians in their unending strug- gle to keep their collections up-to-date. However, one necessarily harbors the sus- picion that they will be used not as buying guides only, but as order lists, and that the books and magazines will be added into junior college libraries in Florida and else- where without any consideration on the part of the librarian and faculty as to their suit- ability, and without either librarians or fac- ulty having engaged in the intellectual ex- ercise of determining whether or not these books are indeed the ones which ought to be in their particular library.

For each author, holdings of various libraries are given in eight categories: manuscripts, journals or diaries, letters by an author, let- ters to an author, documents relating to an author, books containing marginalia by an author, special collections relating to an author, and manuscript material attributed to an author but of uncertain authenticity.

While colonial librarians may have antic- ipated that a current in the opposite direction would be stimulated when Eu- ropean libraries began to find it worth while to acquire books published in the New World, it is unlikely that they fore- saw that American college library re- sources for actual use by American stu- dents in American reading rooms would eventually cross the Atlantic.

      • summary: The characteristics which loosely con- federate the more than forty publishers of higher priced paperback books are these: their dependence upon the organi- zation of an already established cloth- bound publisher; the existence of nu- merous books in an already published backlist for which new demand can be generated by making them available in paperback editions; the possibility of developing an internal reprint program with relatively small investment of ad- ditional editorial and promotional per- sonnel and expense; the availability of already existing mechanics of production and of distribution. I venture to predict that during this year, the num- ber of units sold of paperback books re- tailing at more than $1.00 will once more substantially increase, but the share of the total volume which each publisher will enjoy will again decline, and unit sales of individual titles, advance orders taken by publishers' salesmen, and pub- lishers printing orders will tend to de- crease accordingly.

Need for a current book selection service for college and other libraries having similar problems has been apparent for some time, and ALA has undertaken a study to determine a rapid and efficient method of disseminating information while it is still current.

      • summary: Secondary works of the first kind are usually divided into those dealing with individual works, those dealing with groups of an author's works, and those dealing with his works as a whole or nearly so-the distinction be- tween the second and third classes being less usual than the distinction between the first and the others. Collections, whether of the works of one author or of the works of many, create problems, at least in schemes featuring major division by form; to relegate such works to a gen- eral class may be acceptable if author- ship is plural but is likely to mystify if authorship is singular-Milton's com- plete works with generalia, his poetry with poetry, his prose with prose, etc, 3.

      • summary: Although note taking methods vary with the individual and sometimes with the type of project, most researchers em- ploy some system involving the use of cards. The advantages of this system are chiefly that no cross referring or dupli- cation of notes is necessary because the cross referring and indexing is done by punching the card according to the pre- determined plan, either as a note is completed or at the end of a period of note taking when all the notes can be punched at once.

      • summary: There are two drawbacks to the ~se of such languages, however: (1) there IS no generally accepted single symbolic lan- guage, so that the investigator must at pres- ent learn a number of languages if he is un- certain of the computer he may have to use; (2) since symbolic languages are used in so many ways by so many fields, they tend to grow rather rapidly and to become unman- ageable. It is for this rea- son that computer experts have developed symbolic languages, defined as completely formalized language (s) structurally and con- ceptually rich enough for communication be- tween computers, between computer and man, and even between man and man in the computer field.

      • summary: Correlation between criteria listed be- 373 low and academic excellence of the insti- tution: High correlation Volumes in library Volumes in library for each undergrad- uate student Per student salary expenditure by the library Moderate correlation Age of the school Per student operating expenditure by the library Number of periodical subscriptions in the library Low correlation Volumes acquired per year by the li- brary Ratio of library expenditure to total expenditure Two specific conclusions from this study are that in high quality colleges with more than five hundred students and less than fifty graduate students a minimum of approximately fifty books per student and approximately fifty thousand books in the collection is re- quired. Perhaps quality libraries and quality schools are the fortunate result of a com- bination of a particular milieu of faculty and student expectations, interests, and values.

      • summary: Hence in mid-1963, the author, finding very little on the subject in the professional literature, thought it would be of general interest to form some sort of picture of current practice in cataloging in technical college libraries. It gives a rea- sonably representative picture of what is going on in technical college libraries at present.

      • summary: In their effort to define file items the authors adopt five premises: ( 1 ) the con- tents of a file should reflect its total utiliza- tion, that is, both the contents of a library and representations of the requesters, of the requests, etc.; ( 2) the contents of the file are homogeneous; (3) a quantitative model and measure for relevancy are possible; ( 4) there is no essential relationship between the method of representing an item and the organization of groups of items into a file; ( 5) organization is the grouping of items or records which are then handled as units and lose to that extent their individual identity. Con- veniently grouping schoolbooks under the various disciplines they represented-prim- ers, elocution manuals, copybooks, rhetorics, general and mental science texts, etc.-the author briefly discusses progress in the writ- ing of each from its beginning in this coun- try to the early twentieth century, relating interesting facts and anecdotes about au- thors, book use, schoolbook adoption, and giving even occasional personal commen- tary upon the appropriateness of a particular volume or style, or speculating upon the pro- spective future of the genre.

The most frightening aspects of the strange world of architects to librarians new at library building are its weird imprecision and radical lack of common sense.

      • summary: It should be immediately noted that although the separate undergraduate or college library has been adopted as the pattern of library service in a group of institutions, it has either not been con- sidered or it has been rejected by others which provide central library service to the university community in a single building~ The separate undergraduate library has been regarded as a means of im- proving library service to undergrad- uates by giving them their own special facilities, a book and periodical collec- tion chosen to meet their needs and a staff interested in providing library ser- vice to young college students. A major change in library service to undergraduates occurred with the open- ing of the Lamont library at Harvard in January 1949.

      • summary: The borderline between what is nonprofessional and what is profes- sional among library duties has become more sharply defined in re~ent years due in part to the shortage of library school graduates and the need to oper- ate libraries as efficiently and econom- ically as possible. College and Research Libraries ROBERT H. MULLER Principles Governing the Employment of Nonprofessional Personnel in University Libraries The work of academic libraries may be divided into two classifications: (1) that requiring professional qualifications, and (2) that requiring lesser skills or competences.

      • summary: There is extensive discussion of the constraints which influence the meth- ods of shelving books, elements such as varying thickness, height or width of the book, the thickness of the shelf itself and over-all height of shelf units, as well as flexibility of shelf handling. In merely two hundred pages, beginning with chapter two, this research paper proves beyond any question (a) that you can shelve more books if they are grouped by size, (b) that you can shelve even more books if you use shelves to their full depth, and (c) that you can divide most books into three to five average heights.

      • summary: On this theme alone the Conference has passed some monumental milestones, as when Wini- fred Gregory came to report on her Na- tional Union List in 1926; when Ernest Kletsch proposed his idea of a central clearinghouse for interlibrary loans at the Library of Congress in 1935; when Archibald MacLeish, apparently none the worse for his embattled appointment the year before, came in 1940 to seek greater cooperation among American li- braries in collecting research materials; or in 1962 when the entire Conference was focused on regional, national, and worldwide levels of library cooperation. These services include furnishing a list of library consultants in any area of the country, supplying a list of new college library buildings in each area, providing a list of architects who have de- signed college libraries in each state, producing bibliographies on college library planning, and sponsoring building institutes pre- ceding the American Library Association annual conference.

      • summary: Out of their feeling that the Standards for College Libraries and the Standards for Junior College Libraries are inadequate_ for estimating the _sizes (in volumes) required for minimum . They invite exploration of the conditions which affect academic needs for books, of the relative weights which should be attached to the various controlling fac- tors, and of the basic hypothesis itself- namely, that it is possible to provide a meaningful quantitative measure of ade- quacy in library collections.

To determine practices in their administration of «overtime,' the college and university libraries in New York State were polled, and the results of the survey are reported; conclusions are proposed.

If, in the Cran:6.eld investigation, identical entry vocabular- ies for the four systems had been built up, based on the original conceptual analysis of test documents, and if human variables in searching had been elimi- nated, the performance of the systems with respect to retrieval of known rele- vant documents would have been iden- tical.

The unsuccessful group included former students and alumni who were very difficult to place, or who had flunked out of library school yet held on to an inferior job, or who had never advanced beyond a $4,000 job.

      • summary: The first of the two parts into which the book is divided covers the technical as- I 233 234 I College & Research Libraries • May, 1966 pects of library planning, including library objectives, financial matters (must reading not only for the librarian but also for the college or university administrator who wants to understand something of the many variables that influence library building costs), the concept of modular design ( cer- tainly the most comprehensive treatment of this subject in print), ceiling heights, traffic patterns (a broad-scope chapter de- voted to all aspects of the problem from the location of stairways and elevators to the spatial relationships of each element of the building), lightning, mechanical prob- lems, and furniture and equipment. Each chapter warrants the most careful study, although the material on furniture and equipment (because the au- thor was relying on publication of a man- ual on library furniture, in preparation by the Library Technology Project of the American Library Association but not yet available) is the least satisfactory.

      • summary: In conclusion, it might be said that «optimum size techniques may need to be related to a situation in the scien- tific literature and in scientific libraries, which show every indication of radical and extensive changes ahead. These changes will come very quickly, for the pace of achievements in new knowledge and in new literature, which demands these changes, give us very little time.

      • summary: The power-driven press unleashed a flood of books into the market, and, in conjunction with rising labor costs, compelled the binder to seek more and more sophisticated machinery for binding books. The difference in flexibility stems from the fact that raised cord books have solid backs, whereas books sewn by either of the other methods have hollow backs, which, in conjunction with the looser type of sewing, permits more throw-up in the spine, thus allowing the book to open more easily.15 Sewing on double raised cords actually approaches even oversewing in strength, and generally exceeds it in flexibility.

      • summary: From the analysis of the information reported by the head librarians the fol- lowing generalizations may be derived: There is very little difference in the percentages of men and women who serve as head librarians in colleges of the United States. There is a considerable difference in the percentages of men and women who serve as head librarians when the colleges are divided into groups according to the nature of financial support.

Cut to card size and punched (in the form referred to hereafter as proof slips), the charge is $185.

      • summary: Computers now offer new horizons for library systems, but for them to attain maximum utility will require extensive studies of the user participation in the process of information transfer. Acceptance of the premise that the user is an integral part of a library sys- tem leads to extensive reorientation of design of library systems.

Indeed, not only the means by which a given element in the communication system of social science is to be formal- ized, or informalized but the'very selec- tion of the element itself, if it is to be done on more than intuitive or partially scientific grounds, must be founded on an adequate understanding of the struc- ture and function of the subsystem of which the element is not a part and of the structural-functional relationship of the element to the other elements in its own subsystem.

      • summary: Mr. Gredler and Mr. Leinbach noted the marked improvement in the over-all picture that has taken place in the period of less than a decade since the Ruggles- Mostecky report, and the increasing co- operation of Soviet libraries. The better state of preservation of books in Soviet libraries as compared with their condition in U.S. libraries may be related to factors of climate and temperature.

The reluctance to be assertive may be as much a function of insecurity born out of fears engendered by the limits of the modern librarian's mind to cope with the complexities of an ever broadening spectrum of knowledge, or awe of the growing sophistication of middle class readers among whom high- er educational preparation is now widely characteristic, or because of the con- fusion which attends a set of objectives for library service which tolerates light diversion with intellectual development as equally viable missions: It is the cli- ent then who always determines his wants, and it is only the most iconoclas- tic librarian who suggests alternatives either by making precise recommenda- tions or by skewing client choices through close control of the content of collections to reflect excellence.

Colleges have responded to this criti- cal situation by developing various methods for the cooperative acquisition and use of library materials.

      • summary: In- deed, for administrators to have so long allowed themselves to be so little aware of the developing theory of library serv- ice as search strategy, even in such di- verse thinkers as Metcalfe and Rangana- than, bespeaks a need for a new invigo- ration of the profession—probably pos- sible only through the library schools. It seems better then to recommend a shift to a wholly new mode of search strategy, than to be dominated by juxtaposition: in a word, the classified catalog.

Faculty tend toward dis- orderliness whereas order, efficiency, economy and the like seem to be pre- dominant in librarians.10 Librarians do not like unused books and they do like circulation figures,11 again a kind of pre- ciseness that is contrary to what faculty value highly.

      • summary: Have these men and their similarly eminent colleagues (among them Victor Scholderer) exhausted the problems of early printing to such an extent that little has been left to following generations or, and this is presumably more correct, have present training and the pres- sure of other duties created conditions which are much less favorable to research in depth than in earlier periods? The title hides the fact that the volume contains fifty-four of the 221 entries in Dennis E. Rhodes' Bibliography of V.S. (pp. 1 5 - 2 9 ) ; Mr. Scholderer's poem Death of Virgil ( p . 9 ) ; his essay on the Private Diary of Robert Proctor (pp.31-37); a brief but warm foreword by Sir Frank Francis, as well as an introduction (pp.

For example, the raw data for the Department of Languages and Social Sciences in variables A-1 , A-2, B-1, and F-8 accounts for a very large part of the total, tending to over- whelm other departments and to pro- mote high correlations among those var- iables.

CHRIST Functional Analysis and Library Science Functional analysis is a tool with significant positive implications for library research because of: (1) its facility for investigating the social system of which the librar.y is an integral part; and (2) its direction towards heuristic considerations and metaphysical theory long neg- lected in library science. The sociological approach to function- al analysis has a greater degree of rele- vance for library research than the mechanistic approach because the meth- od is more closely related to the type of phenomena and social system which comprises the library as an institution.

      • flesch: 46
      • summary: A single center for the selection, order- ing, cataloging, and processing of at least 90,000 volumes annually has been recommended for these six libraries for the following reasons: ( 1) there ap- peared to be a great deal of duplication of effort, with a negligible amount of unique technical processing being done in the libraries; ( 2) no significant dif- ferences in practices were found; ( 3) a center would cost less to operate than it would cost to expand facilities in the individual libraries and titles could be processed more cheaply; ( 4) profession- al personnel which is now involved in technical services would be free to con- tribute more toward the improvement of service by being released to plan, make policies, provide more guidance in the use of libraries, and actually get in- volved in the substantive aspect of the academic program. Plans for develop- ment include funding a center and the acquisition of additional ma- terials, and encouraging other similar libraries to take advantage of the center's services.

In ad- dition, the existing order of any fresh 1 The principle of provenance is the basis of archival practice, and because manuscript groups, like archival record groups, are themselves composed of record items normally appearing in some order, they should be organized and described by archival techniques.

      • summary: For almost every kind of device that records information on punched cards or paper tape there is a similar machine, often made by the same manufacturer, that encodes magnetical- ly on recording tape. Some of these tapes can be placed directly onto a com- puter tape drive-others must first be read through a reader in the manner of punched cards and paper tape; but in any case, magnetic tape encoders pos- sess certain characteristics that make them desirable data conversion devices.

Apart from a paragraph on a few joint use facilities, such as that provided for Cornell College and the community of Mount Ver- non, Iowa, academic libraries are entirely outside the scope of this book; and as Car- negie's aim was to improve popular access to books, his grants to large city libraries , such as the New York Public Library, to which he gave over $5,000,000 in 1899 to build sixty-six branch libraries, were gen- erally to provide for branches and other facilities to be used by the general public rather than to provide for research facili- ties.

      • summary: College and Research Libraries ELDRED SMITH Academic Status for College and University Librarians- Problems and Prospects Academic librarians will achieve and deserve full academic status only after they cause changes in the bureaucratic structure of libraries and in library education, and when they provide professional service on a scholarly level. With the growing emphasis on individual study, libraries will be expected to provide such service to scholars and students who are be- coming less bibliographically self-suffi- cient even within their specialties.18 Moreover, as information developments make a moderate skill in library re- search almost a necessity for every edu- cated person, academic librarians must assume a more formal instructional role in their colleges and universities, teach- ing students at least its more rudimen- tary principles.

      • summary: If librarians as faculty members are to match their peers in other departments, what will library directors need to do? The tough campaigns to win needed funds will have to be fought not just by library directors alone as is now often the case, but also by library pro- fessors, fully supported by library direc- tors.

DOHERTY Black Studies: A Report for Librarians The purpose of this paper is to provide background information about black studies and to clarify attitudes, black and white, tou)ard black studies, in order to interject some r-eality into what can be an emo- tionally and intellectually confusing area for whites. INTRODUCTION BEcAUSE THE MAJORITY of librarians in America's college and university li- braries are white, and because the issue of black studies is emotionally as well as intellectually charged, it behooves us to make an honest effort to understand as well as we can the issues involved in providing services to this new area of the curriculum.

When put to a t test, such a difference proves to be statistically significant at the .01 level of probability, all of which indi- cates that in comparison to the norm, this group of library students tends to- ward that end of the scale which is known for gentleness and appreciative- ness, rather than ambition, activity, and innovation.

The most common response of the graduate students indicated no second- ary reason ( 32 percent), while the three next most common responses were to find and read material required for a course, do homework with own books, and read library material for self-improvement.

      • summary: The new spirit suggests that the purpose of the librarian is to help explain (with all the tools available) mankind to man and each man to himself. Just as the little old librarian of recent memory w as written off because she could neither comprehend nor accept computer ma- nipulation of library problems, so the modern academic librarian is in imminent peril of being ignored by the new spirit on the campus.

      • summary: To determine wheth- er the use of information explosion or words to that effect occurred with regu- larity in the library literature and that of information science, a content analy- sis was performed on four American li- brary journals for the years 1964 through 1969: American Documentation, Special Libraries, Library Resources & Tech- nical Servioes, and College & Research Libraries. In the field of library and information science, books by Taube and Shera serve as ex- amples.13 The justification for republish- ing, as mentioned before, is the exten- sion of the audience.

In that letter, comment- ing on an article, Three Early Academic Library Surveys, by Norman D. Stevens in the November 1969 issue of CRL, I sug- gested that there was at least one survey of an American college library by an out- side expert earlier than the last two of the three of 1915, 1937, and 1938 which Mr. Stevens described.

By considering the requests first submitted to the Area Li- brary and those not first submitted to the Area Library as two subsamples, it can be seen that the success rate of the Area Library subsample, when weight- ed by that subsample's proportion of to- tal requests , has a disproportionately positive effect on the total system's ef- fectiveness.

      • summary: As the primary argu- ment developed by the largest and most influential professional organization repre- senting academic librarians, during a dec- ade of vigorous growth in libraries and li- brary services, and for a goal toward which some thousands of academic librarians have demonstrated very strong interest, this monograph represents a serious fail- ure not only of intention but also of re- sponsibility. In fact, the most illuminating and thoughtful of these studies (The Status of Librarians in Four Year State Colleges and Universities) draws quite a different conclusion: that only a small minority of academic librarians now have full faculty status, although a majority seem to believe that they do.

      • summary: The general results of this statistical sam- pling of book readership at a college library revealed that three times as many book readers were reading nonlibrary books as library books inside the library. They are equally realistic in recognizing the economic problems of high- er education, the development of changing educational concepts, the necessity of find- ing more sophisticated technological solu- tions to library problems, and .the need for a new kind of librarian, better trained, bet- ter educated, and more intimately involved in the whole educational process than we have had heretofore.

Filon's study of Library Coop- eration in Great Britain is less personal and summarizes in a very useful form the history of interlending mainly insofar as the National Central Library was concerned with it. The constant wavering between building up a central collection in the N a- tional Central Library and depending main- ly or entirely on the resources of public and other libraries, can be seen clearly as the crucial flaw in planning a lending library system for the country until recently.

Effec- tive means of increasing library use in- clude: ( 1) A better understanding of the information-seeking habits and needs of users; ( 2) the librarians should spend more time outside the library interacting in stu- dent-faculty affairs; ( 3) the role of the li- brary should touch all facets of the academ- ic community; ( 4) the development of problem-oriented libraTy training that uses audiovisual media ; ( 5) the training of stu- dent reference advisers to interact with stu- dents; and ( 6) the orientation of the li- brary to the users thus increasing the prob- ability that the library dynamic processes (question-asking, information-seeking, com- munication, display, and serendipitous dis- covery) will be successful within the con- text of the learning process.

THE THREE FACES OF uNIVERSITY LIBRARIES One of the barriers to appropriate perception of university libraries is its description as a general intellectual re- source for the entire university commu- nity.

Three major developments have prompted such a discussion: ( 1) the proliferation of regional lists of serials; ( 2) the de- velopment of a program for a national serials data bank; and ( 3) the current state of computer t echnology as it re- lates to union lists.

Different con- ditions in the different libraries-lighting, available seating, air conditioning, demands of the curriculum, whether users are com- muters (Lubans mentions several more)- all might affect the magnitude of in- or out- of library use.

Based on his experience in administering a photoduplication service and in acquiring microforms at both Har- vard and Stanford University libraries, his many previous contributions to library lit- erature regarding library microforms, his activity in ALA and in numerous other professional organizations, and particularly his able chairmanship of the ALA, RTSD Micropublishing Subcommittee for the past six years, Veaner is eminently qualified to author this handbook.

Our observations, reinforced by com- ments from the literature, lead us to be- lieve that, indeed, a special type of leadership is needed to provide effec- tive direction to library consortia.

      • summary: It provides bibliographic control of federally published serials and periodicals by several listings: (a) An alphabetic list of U.S. government agencies, commissions, and committees, with a brief history of each, (b) a classified list of Superintendent of Documents numbers with the names of agencies they represent, (c) classified list of current agencies (in existence on January 1, 1971) with an- notated entries of their serial publications, (d) classified list of abolished agencies with their annotated publications and dis- continued SuDocs numbers, (e) agency and title indexes. What are some of these problems, and to what extent are they helped by the Guide? 1) Federal government agencies, with their frequent reorganizational changes present a tangled pattern.

      • summary: When approval plans first appeared on the library scene in the early 1960s, only libraries with sizeable book budgets could consider having an English-language ap- proval plan. Papers relating the experiences of seven libraries concerning approval plans make up one third of the book: the role of the faculty in book selection (a problem which is relatively independent of the method of book procurement), the mechanics and ra- tionale of ordering additional copies of ti- tles received on approval, and the need for a system of earmarking titles for special col- lections and binding are discussed.

Since small is nowhere defined, and since col- lege, public, school, and special libraries vary radically in function, size, and popu- lations served, the book manages to fall neatly between several stools.

      • summary: They were given three tutorial sessions-one on telecommu- nications, one on librarianship and interli- brary cooperation, and one on computer concepts and the relationship of the com- puter to library automation-in order to provide a common basis for the terminology and concepts of the interdisciplinary groups represented; heard a keynote speech on Federal Telecommunications Policy and Library Information Networks; and then organized into five working groups-net- work needs and development, network ser- vices, network technology, network organi- zation, and network planning-which ex- amined in detail the commissioned papers, discussed the issues, and prepared written summary reports of discussions and recom- mendations. In his introduction to this volume the editor and conference director summarizes his personal observations of the conference as follows: ( 1) the papers represent the most comprehensive collection of material on networks available; ( 2) a national net- work of libraries and information centers appears to be a viable concept; ( 3) the in- dividual is the one to be served by a na- tional network; ( 4) the development of the network concept is an interdisciplinary task; ( 5) libraries and information centers will need to be proactive rather than reactive; and ( 6) new patterns of organization that will permit networks.

Without commenting on substantive issues, such as the propriety of using a predictive equation based on the nation's finest research li- braries as a norm for college libraries in general, I do wish to clarify one technical point that recurs in Mr. Mcinnis' article and that may be confusing to readers.

      • summary: One explanation for the emphasis on audio rather than visual materials in the library is the existence of a campus audiovisual center outside the library on at least thirty-nine of the campuses. Because the hold- ings of visual materials proved so sparse, the study of contemplated visual materials and services was abandoned.

      • summary: College and Research Libraries LLOYD W. GRIFFIN and JACK A. CLARKE Orientation and Instruction of Graduate Students in the Use of the University Library: A Survey A recent questionnaire on instruction of graduate students in the use of the university library~ submitted to twenty-three large university libraries (and returned by twenty), brings up to date a similar survey reported in CRL in 1958. The problem appears perennial and as yet unsolved, though libraries are giving orientation lectures and tours, providing graduate and faculty manuals, utilizing bibliographers and subiect specialists to consult with graduate students or even to conduct formal bibliographic courses, and developing imaginative programs employing new equipment and techniques to interpret the library to this segment of its public.

      • summary: It is incredible that library administrators can, in the 1970s, still claim unawareness of the need for staff to be treated as members of a team, not as chessmen to be manipulated on the board of library efficiency. An example of such oversimplification is encountered in the following assertion: A librarian who believes books ought to be made available for use as quickly as ·pos- sible might be willing to circulate a title be- fore the catalog cards are filed safely in the public catalog.

      • summary: An insight into the state of the art in several countries is provided by the author's statement that in some instances for the present at least, the best record of current publishing in some of the countries in Cen- tral America and the Caribbean exists in the published acquisitions lists of some of the institutions with Farmington plan re- sponsibilities for certain countries. The aim of the library (which is based on the former Caribbean Commission Collection) would be to collect all publications of this diverse group of is- land countries and to record the acquisi- tions in a computer based bibliography.

( 5) Should we in North America adopt the same philosophy as the British regarding retrospective conversion of catalog records?

WHILE THE LAST DECADE has witnessed considerable articulation among li- brarians in favor of faculty status, there have been opponents as well: Ken- neth Kister, who describes what he sees as librarians' attempt to imitate the fac- ulty and their blurring of the distinc- tion between librarianship and teaching at a time when they ought to be earning their status .as

      • summary: Upon occasion Mr. Franklin finds a need to take issue with the idea of judging these works by what he once calls the awe of the sale room, yet he himself seems quite af- fected both by book prices and by the names of collectors, and the work concludes with a so-called Bibliography by David Lin- coln whose only real contribution is the fur- nishing of auction prices. This brief but appealing work treats the activity of fine printing in England from the late nineteenth century to the Second World War, as created by private presses which were owned or controlled by individuals who put their own stamp on the products.

However, it now ap- pears, if the first volume can be considered typical of those to come, that our skepti- cism was unjustified; for Tebbel has writ- ten a clear, well organized, and detailed synthesis of American publishing history to the Civil War, and while the whole project still strikes us as audacious, we feel com- pelled to compliment both the author and publisher for the remarkable success they have achieved with this first volume.

Book Pub- lishing in the United States should be ac- quired by all libraries, large or small, which profess any interest at all in the his- tory of American publishing, and if the suc- ceeding volumes (two more are projected) are of equal merit, this work should easily become the standard history of publishing in the United States for years to come.- Michael H.

The title itself refers to one of NLL Director D. J. Urqu- hart's more provocative statements, here highlighted facing the title-page, comparing the failure of traditional libraries to see the significance of the NLL, to the dinosaurs' fatal incomprehension of the new species appearing around them.

      • summary: Because nonacademic (e.g., school, public, government, and spe- cial) library positions greatly outnumber those in academic libraries, it would be re- gretful if library schools were to so favor Ph.D. applicants that these highly-educated scholars would culminate their library edu- cation by vying for the privilege of running a circulation desk in a small town library. I believe, however, that the author IS needlessly worried about the ability of and, in fact, the desirability for library schools to respond to his so-called challenge by al- tering curricula and currying Ph.D.s.

There is a group of services ranging from reference through programming and keypunching, to which the user of census data, or of any data in machine- readable form, must have access.

      • summary: While there was substantial agreement that they should keep abreast of what is being published in their areas, and communicate this information to the faculty, there was a strong feeling on the part of many faculty members that bibliographers should not be involved in actual book selection, evaluat- ing the collection as it relates to the cur- riculum, weeding the collection, coordinat- ing book selection practices, or participat- ing in faculty meetings. Mter a refreshingly honest introduction by Verner Clapp, the standard laudatory introduction by the edi- tor, and a bibliography by Gretchen Isard of Shera's 381 articles, books, columns, edi- torials, reports, and reviews, there are some 24 papers covering the Pertinence of His- tory, Basic Issues, Information Retrieval, Catalog Topics, Contexts, Forecast, and Li- brary Education by the usual clutch of dis- tinguished scholars and librarians including Sidney Ditzion, Paul Dunkin, Robert Fair- thorne, Douglas Foskett, Eugene Garfield, Neal Harlow, Patricia Knapp, John Met- calfe, Ranganathan, Maurice Tauber, and Robert Taylor.

      • summary: Yes, many noises are made about the need for and use of subject specialists in academic libraries, but did Dr. Moffett make a survey to find how many are in charge of subject departments in academic libraries and what they do? As the study for new or revised stan- dards for academic libraries is getting un- derway, it seems to me that the ACRL Standards Committee might well consider the possibility of a research/systems, or R & D, unit as one of the requirements in the standards for the libraries of senior re- search universities, and as a strong recom- mendation for those academic libraries on the tier immediately below the senior insti- tutions, and so on down the line.

Vosper's re- port was published in 1962 in College and Research Libraries and Hamlin's survey appeared in Libri in 1965.1 These studies revealed the deficiencies of Italian university libraries: an almost absolute dearth of funds, both for the conservation and updating of their ex- tremely valuable collections and for the organization of adequate library ser- vices to students and scholars.

      • summary: The high mechanization, mas- sive collections, and generous budgets that characterize many of the prestig- ious libraries in America are unknown to black libraries. In addition to their focus on black materials, the common element in the history of black libraries just described, including the Schomburg Collection, is the lack of proper financial support, staff, and quarters for processing and preserving the rich materials and for making them more readily available to scholars.

      • summary: The justification for combining state library requests with those from public libraries is that state libraries have most often served as re- source libraries for the public libraries in the state. The evidence leans toward ranking public libraries, public library systems, and state libraries as ,the heav- iest borrowers.

Mter evaluating each of the options and the possible impact of their implementation, the staff recommended that a system of payment be instituted that would allow all participating libraries to re- cover partial cost for interlibrary loans.

      • summary: The fact that Dr. Leyh was Germany's leading li- brarian during the critical three-score years following the turn of the century, however, does mean that the work is replete with food for the thought of those who would ponder the politicization of libraries. Dr. Leyh appears to have conceptualized his philosophy of librarianship quite fully during his student days at Munich, Stras- bourg, and Tiibingen between 1896 and 1901; in essence it was that libraries have a high humanistic and scholarly purpose that can and must keep aloof of ideological and political issues.

For collective bargaining to be a suc- cess for university librarians, careful planning is necessary in choosing a un- ion and participating in negotiations.

      • summary: The experiences of one librarians' association are the springboard for a discussion of tlw impact of professional associations and unions on the individual, professional, and organizational goals of librarians. The problem of conflicting roles of unions and professional associations in- evitably arises when discussions of mat- ters of vital concern to both groups take place.

      • summary: Aside from its principal objective the project produced a wealth of statistical data about the distribution of materials by date, language, and numbers of copies of works in the various libraries; about the relative merits and costs of various methods in cap- turing bibliographic data for machine-read- able transcription; about the problems in- volved in several methods and devices used in the transcription; and about the prob- lems which arose in computer matching and printing of bibliographic records, rang- ing from identification of data structures to representation of characters in a large array of languages. There is much in the pages of the LOC Report pointing in the direction of a sophisticated simplicity inherent in biblio- graphic data as contrasted with our current- ly prevailing and unquestioned reliance on systematically exhaustive accumulation of interpreted bibliographic data as a basis for future direction of computerized manage- ment of bibliographic records.

      • summary: The best that a potential ar- chivist can hope for is an occasional course in library school which not only focuses on manuscripts and special col- lections, but on archives generally.1 Lacking formal preparation, a librarian who is appointed college archivist must tum to the literature of the field to find some guidance. Unfortunately, relevant information is difficult to find: library journals traditionally eschew archival articles and the American Archivist's ar- ticles on college archives are frequently no more than institutional case studies.2 The new archivist, therefore, confronts his job with few guidelines or sugges- tions.

      • summary: College and Research Libraries MAURICE B. LINE and ALEXANDER SANDISON Practical Interpretation of Citation and Library Use Studies Most studies of journal citations and library use are of little if any practical use to librarians and information system designers because of inadequate data collection and analysis. Questions such as the validity of citations as indicators of use, size of sample needed (of sources and of actual citations) in view of the wide variability between journals and vol- umes within journals, the relative use- fulness of different sources of citations, the differences between synchronous and diachronous data, and the problems of forecasting future use, have been dis- cussed elsewhere.

      • summary: In this case, department S should receive a larger number of resource units (OQ 8 ) than department P (OQp). For example, from 1967-69 to 1972 the price of chemistry and physics period- icals rose 186 percent, compared to only 26 percent for art periodicals.2 If each department receives a constant share of the library's budgeted expenditures, there must be a relative reduction in the number of resource units acquired by departments whose price indexes rise more than average.

The seminar suggests, for exam- ple, that the acquisition of Third World material is important to meet the needs of scholars, that at least one copy of this pub- lished material should be available in a li- brary in Europe, and that the collecting of this material must proceed from coopera- tion with library and book trade centers in countries of the Third World.

      • summary: On the basis of both his particular point of view and his research-which is stronger for the early nineteenth century than for later years, es- pecially our own time-he sees public li- braries as having been diverted from their legitimate function, the provision of books and a place to read, by a faulty conception of their social role. The object was thus to stimulate somehow the reading of books, and failing that, to make libraries centers of culture or social and entertainment centers-all without evidence of success and in face of a perpetually small reading public and competition from more powerful and more efficient purveyors of culture, social services, and entertainment.

Perhaps it is the much improved bib- lf.ographic control over report literature which now permits disappointment when a new survey is itself weak and disorderly.

      • summary: In 1898 the librarian of the University of California announced willingness to lend to other libraries that would lend to the University of California. One or two features of this joint effort are of note: In Venezuela and Bolivia and partly also in Brazil the purchases consisted of collections which had to be divided among the cooperating institutions, and naturally included a fair amount of material which, either because the cooperating institutions already had it or because the class of material in question is not collected by the institu- tions which I represented, can be sold to other libraries in this country.

      • summary: As beneficiary of the Astor Library in 1848, New York had been favored by the services of the premier endowed reference library, but by the end of the century its early good fortune clearly was a factor in delaying the establishment of library services suitable to all the people of the com- munity. The handsome monument, named a National Historic Landmark in 1966, continues to serve as the home of one of the world's great research collections and as the symbolic capstone of a system of libraries to serve the people of New York City.-W. L. Williamson, Professor, University of Wisconsin-Madison Acknowledgments: Edward White, William L. Coakley, and David V. Erdman, New York Public Library.

      • summary: Although Branscomb's study is not a model for the solution of college library problems through the ap- plication of scientific methods, it did draw extensively upon research studies, and it did question basic assumptions about library service in provocative ways. As personal · as- sistance came to be recognized as an important feature of library service, it acquired a distinctive name-refer- ence work -and departmental sta- tus.26 Even with the acceptance of the need for reference service, there was no con- sensus on what functions were appropri- ate for the academic library to offer.

      • summary: And so we come from Cutter to the computer, from Cutter's clear statement of what cataloging should be as a basis for uniformity of practice to the com- puter as ' a tool for implementing coop- erative and centralized cataloging with all that implies for library service. These are: ( 1) the .achievement of a standard format for bibliographic records in machine-readable form and the associated production at the Li- brary of Congress and elsewhere of a sizable data base of such records; ( 2) a continuing sharp decrease in the cost of certain components of electronic data processing systems; ( 3) continu- ing increases in the capacity and re- liability of electric communications channels with concomitant decreases in the unit costs of the channels; and ( 4) the creation of evolving modular, computer-based library systems, which take advantage of the three other changes just mentioned.l92 Based on D. R. Swanson's predictions, Hanson and Daily describe the most ad- vanced form of the catalog of the fu- ture as a computerized catalog with eleven performance goals: User dialogues (programmed interro- gation), aids to browsing, user-indexed library, access to in-depth information, wheat and chaff identification, national network of libraries, national net- work of bibliographic tools, instant in- formation, remote interrogation and delivery, active dissemination, and quality control over library services (improved feedback) ,193 The Library of Congress leadership in developing machine-readable catalog- ing (MARC) with its potential for pro- viding instant availability of standard- ized cataloging coupled with the .loca- tion of specific copies of texts makes networking possible.

      • summary: The agency relationship goes back at least to the early London career of the [ forceful and learned Henry Stevens, , who primarily served wealthy private collectors but who also had a close rela- tionship with American libraries. This appraisal was supported by Yale's An- drew Keogh, who spoke of the regret- table condition of our scholarly librar- ies with regard to both the primary and secondary sources of research.21 But an economic depression and other factors, including the lack of an effec- tive organizational structure, prevented any forceful attack on the book poverty problem until another war in the 1940s once again cut American libraries off from the European book market and li- braries and thereby reemphasized the gaps in American collections.

The 1965 Purdue study of library growth in a sense verified Rider's hypathesis and its use as a predictive tool.

      • summary: A MAJOR lMPEDIMENT TO EFFICIENT LI- BRARY VSE is library book theft. Just as the white collar crime perspective suggests that there is pressure from status inconsistency which motivates white collar criminals to trespass the law, many librarians have suggested that library book theft is a re- sponse to academic pressure.16 The research tested the pressure by in- vestigating whether students steal books to ensure better grades, to deal with stiff competition from their peers, to have books for their personal collections, or because they cannot afford to purchase the books.

      • summary: They are roughly divided into four major content areas: ( 1) a key- note address by Richard Dougherty and Janice Powell in which the authors pose the question: Is librarianship one of the en- dangered professions? and in which they look to both library administration and staff to orchestrate and correlate the goals of the individual with and to the goals of the li- brary; ( 2) self-assessment presentations in which continuing education biggies, such as James Liesener, Ruth Patrick, Mary El- len Michael, Duane Webster, and Grover Andrews, present various models for con- tinuing education programs, career plan- ning, and self-development strategies, complete with the suggestion that the li- brary's role in the educational program of the institution and the community might well become the point of focus for a non- traditional self-study; ( 3) a Model for As- sessing Continuing Education Needs of a Profession, by Malcolm Knowles, in which the author views the impending obsoles- Recent Publications I 259 cence of man as the next century's greatest threat to civilization; and ( 4) summaries of small discussion groups that capture the essence of all of the topics included above, in addition to such pragmatic concerns as developing the criteria for evaluating con- tinuing education programs and financing CLENE. The tone of the Proceedings of this first CLENE Assembly is sharp and clean: If libraries are to survive as agencies of infor- mation amid a jungle of other fiercely com- peting institutions clawing to usurp their place, then librarians need to reassess both the organizational goals of their libraries and their own career goals and shift quickly into high gear, which would direct them away from the concept that the one-year MLS degree is educationally sufficient for survival to the concept that their education must be lifelong.

Not only must the list of places which used Hebrew printing be expanded (it is hardly conceivable that Jewish communities in, let us say, a city of the size and importance of Marseilles have not utilised Hebrew type, even up to 1946 when the gazetteer was first revised and published separately), but also the information furnished can stand correction, sometimes with little effort.

      • summary: It was a period of major growth for all aca- demic libraries, reaching its peak with the Parry Report of 1967, giving official sup- port to the need for increasing financial support to university libraries, but coming back rudely to earth less than a decade later with the 1976 report of the Atkinson committee (reviewed in the July 1977 issue of C&RL) with its concept of the self-re- newing library. Eighteen years later in 1975, Harrison Bryan, now university librarian of the U ni- versity of Sydney, again had a study leave to survey English university libraries.

      • summary: The study goes be- yond the incunable period in time and be- yond the confines of the Venetian Republic to prove the premise that publishing in Venice was fairly free from government in- terference on one hand and private patron- age on the other so that the books published represent the true taste of the audience which is the middle class society. There is a tendency to consider such col- lections the sole property of library school students, but this may be unfair; and the practicing librarian will do well to consider the miscellany of reference librarianship to be found between these covers.

Few academic librarians need be re- minded that this nation's current annual output of dissertations surpasses 30,000 titles, a number which dwarfs this nation's annual output of commercially published, scholarly monographic titles.

Two aspects of this survey are of particu- lar interest: the surveyors' acknowledgment of the wide use of public library resources by college students (with good ·supporting data) and the division and integration of the surveyors' responsibilities.

      • summary: It is not claimed as an exhaustive bibliography but rather a guide to the litera- ture that the project team considered useful in defining the scope of user studies, in suggesting hypotheses about the behavior of information consumers, in illustrating tech- niques of study, and in presenting findings about information consumers. While the tabular data in this stencil- reproduced report are largely drawn from other publications and the reports on re- search already conducted are rather per- functory, this document is nevertheless use- ful in bringing together in one publication references to the growing body of literature on library use studies and user behavior in- vestigations.

Data and information were gathered from faculty, student, and library sur- veys, interviews, and by task forces in the areas of management and structural processes, human resources, library resources and services, and technology and facilities.

      • summary: Statistics on black libraries and librarians may be limited due to scope of and re- sponse from various surveys. Section 5, Significant Books and Peri- odicals For Black Collections, is a conven- ient, well-organized section that is in no way comprehensive; however, it can be of inestimable value for librarians attempting to build a core collection and to those in- terested in brief biographical sketches of black librarians as creative writers.

In the study of the causes of paper deterioration and the means to pre- dict paper stability, one conclusion is outstanding-the paper in books must be preserved rather than rescued.

      • summary: The four primary goals of these cost-and- funding studies are described: (1) to determine representative costs of present library services without network support, (2) to estimate future costs of library services at various levels of pro- posed network support, (3) to evaluate and com- pare the impact of a network upon costs of library services, and (4) to examine and recommend equitable programs of financial support for an in- terstate bibliographic network in the West. The objec- tives of the study were to (1) collect basic data on depositories in community college libraries; (2) ascertain the state of the art in this type of depository, with reference to administration, col- lection development, and utilization of these ma- terials; (3) determine whether definite patterns have evolved that are characteristic of community colleges in these functions; (4) attempt to account for the differences that exist among colleges; and (5) collect information that would be useful for community college depositories for self-study Recent Publications I 331 purposes.

      • summary: College and Research Libraries Angus Snead Macdonald, who advanced the development of library stacks and was an early proponent of the modular plan of li- brary construction; Richard Rogers Bowker, who was a major figure in library publishing for some sixty years; Frederick Winthrop Faxon, who promoted subscription and re- lated library services; Halsey William Wil- son, who devoted more than half a century to compiling and issuing library indexes and abstract journals; and Hans Peter Luhn, whose work at IBM led to information re- trieval programs, the early concept of the key-word-in-context (KWIC) index, and programs for the selective dissemination of information (SDI). Notable in the latter category is Joseph Cummings Rowell, who headed the Univer- sity of California library at Berkeley for forty-four years (1875-1919); was a founder and first president of the Library Associa- tion of Central California (later to become the California Library Association); served as vice-president of the American Library Association; initiated interlibrary loan ser- vices on the west coast; compiled the first union list of periodical holdings in the San Francisco Bay area and made other con- tributions in the areas of classification, peri- odical indexing, and library building plan- ning; and was successful in acquiring for the university the Hubert Howe Bancroft li- brary of Californiana and western American history.

      • summary: The varying quality of these jour- nals can to some extent be attributed to each editor's ability, or lack of it, to recruit contributors ranging from well-known names in library literature writing on famil- iar topics to neophyte scholars just out of graduate school. The contributors to the initial issues include such well-known names in library literature as Bill Katz , David Kronick, Joe Morehead , and Herbert Goldhor as well as other equally talented writers from outside of librarianship.

According to the report, an additional ten thousand professional librarians are needed in the three thousand college and university libraries; the stock of library materials should be increased by 158 million items over the present 612 million total , which works out to an average of fifty-three thousand additional items per academic li- brary.

      • summary: It is folly for college libraries to attempt to satisfy research needs on a hit-or-miss basis; it would be much more sensible to conceive of periodical acquisition primarily in terms of a core of indexes, which stu- dents could easily be instructed to use and which would lead the student, with con- fidence, to the articles themselves. CHARACfERISTICS OF UNDERGRADUATES In talking about student frustration and about the disparity between their needs and faculty needs, a third principle becomes evident for college librarians , a principle which McKeon would have rejected but which Farber would probably endorse: Just as we should not consider college libraries to be miniature university libraries, so we should not assume that college students are all scholar-adventurers .

A concise and cogent discussi9n of the methods used includes, in addition to defi- nition and description, consideration of some of the problems and pitfalls met, such as staff resistance, the discovery that actual library jobs are performed at variance with stated procedures , and the frustration at- tendant on the definition of activities , tasks, and functions to produce valid results-so much so that the authors conclude that in- stalling major data systems is a slow painful process that requires unending revision and rethinking (p.43).

      • summary: Fussier and Simon found that, of books that have accumulated equal shelf time, those that have never circulated have somewhat less chance than those that have circulated of being used during a given period in the fu- ture (Patterns in the Use of Books , p .32-33); but the difference is clearly not great enough to justify Trueswell' s procedure. Trueswell has given his research with respect to book collections, which was originally published in a series of articles dur- ing the 1960s, an apparently definitive sum- mary in Growing Libraries: Who Needs Them?

As far as this study goes, the results seem to show that SSHI is designed more for straight subject searching than for assisting in the retrieval of specific items. This study attempts to dis- cover whether the Wilson Social Sciences Index and the Wilson Humanities ·Index (herein referred to as one index, SSHI) can be used to conduct searches for specific journal articles when title, or approximate title, is known but neither author or journal can be readily called to mind.

      • summary: In his interesting analysis of the kinds of activities to which academic library directors devote their time, Metz found a difference based upon size of library; i.e., directors of small libraries devote more time to the day-to-day internal operations in the library, whereas their counterparts at large libraries spend more time in such external, environ- mental activities as fund raising, professional activities, and representing the library to its public. 11 The use of search committees for hiring library directors is almost universal among the libraries represented in this study.

      • summary: Os- burn notes that there is presently no appar- ent immediate relationship between the ac- tivities of collection development and the research done at a given institution; that we have failed to recognize changes in the academic environment surrounding us; and that large academic libraries have come to behave quite independently of their constituencies, which, in times of financial stress, can be an unhealthy situation to be in. In these chapters he notes the emphasis on applied research, the impact of vast numbers of federal dollars on the academy, the impact of quantification, the kinds of new faculty development, and the growth of the invisible college, that informal com- munication network that flourishes whether libraries do or do not.

Within its sphere of limited appeal, this is a valuable work , describing several map collections and giving a feel for the present state of an aspect of librarianship, that has yet to reach the full heights of its achievements.

      • summary: The objective of the system was to increase efficiency by means of three major components: (1) the use of OCLC as the principal locator source with telefacsimile machines to relay requests directly from borrow- ing to lending library; (2) the use of a central re- source library (Cleveland Public) to screen all re- quests for which OCLC did not provide a poten- tial lending library; and (3) the use of referral cir- cuit utilizing telefacsimile to route the remaining unfilled requests among member libraries.

The authors identified and discussed sixteen studies published between 1949 and 1975 that attempted to measure characteristics of library users or nonusers and to give a picture of the average user.

The major importance of this study is that it casts some doubt on the other studies that have tried to deal with the concept of sex role of the librarian or library science stu- dent, in that it questions the validity of the instruments used in these other studies in measuring sex role, especially the CPI, and it demonstrates that significantly different results are obtained using a newer instru- ment that has, to a great extent, been freed of the more limiting concepts used to form other sex-role inventories.

Given the timing methodology adopted, the observed average difference of only one second between ISBD and non-ISBD de- scriptions could be ascribed to experimental error.

      • summary: One variation would be to classify professional librarians on some kind of scale which would allow for promo- tion without administrative responsibility and would reward distinguished service to students and faculty and to learning at large . Since there are mechanisms for modifying the system of ranks and since there are indications that the original objectives of recognizing profes- sional accomplishments within the context of library program and service objectives are being met, it is clear that the system of ranks will remain an integral aspect of Co- lumbia's program for professional librarians .

These aren't the only reasons for engag- ing in the marketing of library services but are among the most important and should be sufficient reason for librarians to consider the possibilities offered by the marketing of library services.

      • summary: Yet, this volume does not even summa- rize in any coherent fashion the current issues related to library effectiveness. All in all, although individual authors make some good points concerning aspects of library effectiveness (particularly Webster and Bonus), the overall treatment of effec- tiveness is rudimentary.

      • summary: Computer-Supported Catalogs deals with alternative catalog forms such as the automated book form catalog system, printed book catalogs, and COM catalogs. The second section uses concepts from value engineering to give an overview of the main arguments that can be employed to justify those costs.- Either the on-line ser- vice must produce greater efficiency com- pared to the same task (bibliographic searching by librarians) performed in the old way, or it must be justified by its provi- sion of added value, in the form of en- hanced library service to patrons.

Even with these figures, one general con- clusion seems unavoidable: A small number of highly priced indexes (Chemical Ab- stracts, Excerpta Medica, Science Citation Index) are becoming serious candidates for cancellation by the smaller libraries which presently purchase them, where usage of such indexes can be measured in the range of 75 to 150 instances per year.

The survey revealed: (1) very few academic librarians in Ohio have full faculty status as defined in the ACRL Standards; (2) of the nine standards mandated by the ACRL only four are met by more than half of the institutions in Ohio; and (3) the degree to which academic librarians in Ohio have the rights and responsibilities of faculty status varies by cer- tain demographic characteristics of the respondents.

      • summary: The purpose of this study was threefold: (1) to ascertain whether the graphical or verbal formulation of Bradford's law more closely adhered to the practical situation when applied to citation data; (2) to test the appropriateness of applying Bradford's law to works in broad subject fields such as li- brary science rather than to data from nar- row scientific fields ; and (3) to identify any trends in adherence to the Bradford dis- tribution that occurred in popular library -'literature during the thirty-five-year span, 1940 through 1974. This study will attempt to explain the two formulations of Bradford's law, verbal and graphical, and then , utilizing Wilkinson's formulas , will test the two to determine which provides a bet- ter fit for citation data taken from C&RL and SLover the thirty-five-year period 1940 through 1974.

      • summary: Among the impressions that will be left with a careful reader of this essay is that the problem is, in fact, an apparently infinite complex of many discrete problems-of physical chemistry, of lighting design, of environmental pollution and con- trol, of engineering, and so forth. Given our success as a profession in shaping the technology of comput- ing (hardware and software) to resolve problems of bibliographic control, one wonders if we can assemble a different but equally diverse array of resources and skills to address conservation, for it will surely require as sustained an effort to preserve the twentieth century's bibliography for the twenty-first.

      • summary: He continued to study what had happened to book papers from the fifteenth through the nineteenth centuries, and he began to look at the effects storage tempera- tures have on the permanence of paper. Although pollution does play a role (and in some areas , such as New York City, a critical one), Barrow identified manufacturing processes as the principal cause of paper decay ; in a later investigation of book papers manufactured from 1800 to 1899, he was able to trace historically the loss of strength in papers in a time line that matched the introduction by paper mills of alum sizing and the use of cheaper and shorter fibers.

      • flesch: 53
      • summary: Levine's model is ambitious and extraor- dinary: ambitious because it attempts to ex- plain both the failure and the success of accepted innovation, and extraordinary be- cause it seeks to account not for the initial implementation of innovation but for its ultimate fate, a fate that must occupy some point on a continuum ranging from complete institutionalization to final ter- mination. The boundaries of institutional personality could be expanded to embrace the idiosyn- cratic personalities of the experimental col- leges and to allow those personalities to pervade the parent institution; the bound- aries could be expanded just enough to ex- tend hospitality to the colleges as enclaves of the larger structure; they could be mod- estly contracted so as to coerce the colleges to conform to those academic traditions that were transcended at the trial creation of the colleges; or the boundaries could be severely contracted to induce such radical incongruence between the institutional per- sonality founded on hard-core academic val- ues and the more daring personality of the collegiate system as to result in the exter- mination of innovation.

      • flesch: 57
      • summary: Concerning the granting of faculty status to librarians, several teaching faculty felt that the librarians' role was coequal but different: Because the library is not a de- gree granting department, faculty rank and status should not be awarded; They should be considered administrators and have the sole purpose to serve students and teaching faculty; The only legitimate faculty rank for librarians would be those with crossappointment in an academic de- partment. Service was perceived as the most important function of the li- brarians , but many teaching faculty members indicated that librarians should conduct research if they are to be awarded faculty rank and status .

This difference is most apparent when considering the comparison between uni- versity directors and university non- directors; the overall mean average of jobs requesting no additional education beyond the MLS for director positions is 47.5 per- cent, whereas the same average for non- director university positions is 71.1 percent.

This study shows that while female authors are consistently underrepresented in the literature of library sci- ence, they are published in greater proportion in special library periodicals than in the academic library periodicals sampled by the Olsgaards.

      • date: 1981-05-01
      • words: 1380
      • flesch: 52
      • summary: Whereas the ACRL publication, a spiral- bound committee effort of the Bibliographic Instruction Section, consists of a series of useful checklists, charts, model statements, and assorted papers on setting up a BI program, the Renford-Hendrickson volume provides a much more complete picture of library use instruction. This collection of papers, presented at the Twenty-Third Midwest Academic Librar- ians' Conference (Ball State University, May 1978), attempts to analyze the symbiotic re- lationship between the faculty development and library instruction movements.

As the administrator of a large library system undergoing the trauma of dramatic change (as is increasingly common around the country), I think this distinguished group of men and women might better have spent their time asking whether library education is trying to be all things to all people, whether we have too many library schools, whether we are producing too many librarians, whether we should actively recruit Ph.D.s from other dis- ciplines, whether or not we are stressing the mechanics and housekeeping functions of li- brarianship too much, and even, perhaps, whether or not the doctorate in librarianship is a defensibl~ degree for those in practice.

      • summary: Here the most comprehensive current bibliography in American history, America: History and Life (AHL), is relegated to the end of the list of tools considered, a weakness made more noticeable by the absence of the AH L Index to Book Reviews from the discus- sion of book review indexes and the omission of the AHL American History Bibliography from the earlier section on history indexes. Presentation of such general and peripheral tools as PAIS Bulletin and Social Science Citation Index before spe- cific history tools appears to be in reverse or- der.

Two other essays warrant careful reading by the American academic librarian: Geof- frey Briggs on university library development in Canada and a superb essay by Harrison Bryan on university library development in Australia and New Zealand with accompa- nying statistical tables, (p.306-14).

Lee Jones's discussion of the Battelle re- port. The first deals with the ef- fects of linking on libraries and their users, and examines issues such as whether there is sufficient reason to link bibliographic utilities and, if so, the possible benefits in three areas of service: shared cataloging, interlibrary loan, and reference searching.

The main facts of contempo- rary American life from the perspective of research universities are the corrosive effects of a widespread indifference- even hostili- ty- to the well-being of important social in- stitutions; the equally corrosive effects of rapid and sustained inflation; the active role of government in regulating economic and social activity; and the growing importance of and ambivalence to science and technol- ogy.

      • summary: It argues that BI in academic libraries and the reference desk in public libraries were both initiated to foster independent learning by unsophisticated users; that BI, introduced by scholar-librarians in the 1870s, could not be sustained by the semiclerical graduates of early library schools and was consequently displaced by the reference desk, and that improved training and status for li- brarians contributed to the BI renaissance of the 1960s. 11 Public libraries had a concern for the needs of unsophisticated users similar to the academic librarians' concern for stu- dents, and the idea of having a librarian at a visible desk to give ad hoc responses to indi- vidual users' questions was gradually adopted into academic libraries.

He does not address the fact that special libraries, which are character- ized by in-depth collections in a narrow sub- ject field or format, can often find little to weed, and that what is weeded must most of- ten be discarded, rather than stored.

The planning of library stack areas for books is a topic that has been studied with increasingly serious attention, but never before has there been published a techni- cal report devoted to the planning of new or expanded music library stacks.

      • summary: When Lip- etz lists the functions of research as description, definition, theory, explanation of ob- served phenomena, prediction of future phenomena, and manipulative prescription to ex- pand human capability or control,' it is clear that his listing derives from a less than correct understanding of the notion and functions of scientific theory. I was particularly interested in the way research scientists define theory and what they consider to be the functions of scientific theories.

The searcher should inform the patron that a library staff member, knowledge- able in the use of citation indexes, is avail- able to discuss the search results and inter- pret the results and other techniques which should be considered in order to obtain as complete information as possible on citations to the work of the individual being evaluated.

      • summary: This slim volume reports on research sponsored by the British Library Research and Development Division (BLRDD) to discover the: extent of awareness of on- going research amongst practitioners; their attitudes towards research (and rea- sons for holding them); assessment of the utility and relevance of research to their day to day work; the kind of research that ideally they would like to see in prog- ress. It builds on two earlier and related BLRDD-supported studies-one on the dissemination of research to library educa- tors and one on the dissemination prac- tices of researchers.

      • summary: Results of shifting pat- terns of public library support in California and West Virginia are examined and three options for future funding of public libraries are pre- sented: continuation of the status quo, achieve- ment of a balanced intergovernmental funding system, or increased use of fees for service. Li- brary activities are highlighted in the following areas: (1) promoting awareness of the needs of the disabled; (2) providing access to buildings and programs for the disabled; (3) cooperating with a variety of agencies to produce work- shops, conferences, and seminars for and about the disabled; (4) training present and incoming personnel in working with the disabled; (5) in- creasing employment of disabled persons in li- braries; (6) acquiring more library resources for the disabled; and (7) expanding library services for the disabled.

      • summary: That 50.6 percent found the computer catalog easier for journal searches, while only 7.1 per- cent preferred the card .catalog, may be due to an aversion to searching through the large number of cards frequently en- countered in card catalogs for the works of corporate authors or for periodicals with common titles. The preference for title searching over author searching is consistent with Norden and Lawrence's findings, even though they report that us- ers of card catalogs prefer the author ap- proach.

Undergraduate and graduate students, who are unable to operate with the broad knowledge and solid bibliographic base of research scholars, can find library skills valuable in initiating their first timid ef- forts at II research.

In attempting to list perceived advan- tages to the institution of granting librari- ans faculty status, administrators ap- peared to focus chiefly on psychological factors, with a tendency to indulge in con- jecture about the supposed uplifting ef- fects of faculty status on librarians' atti- tudes, conduct, and performance.

      • summary: However, while the unique needs of users of special collections are better served, the special collections repository, as a result of its independence, has been isolated from the mainstream of library development. These efforts all represent a form of integration, because once a record of a manuscript or special collections' holding is entered into the common data base, it is integrated with all other records already there.

      • summary: Moreover, the proliferation of types of materials found in special collections, the growing awareness of the concept of intrinsic value, and the importance of involving special collections staff in cooper- ative collection development programs point to the importance of identifying integrated man- agement structures for special collections departments. Another factor that can lead to integra- tion of special collections units is that there has been a proliferation of materials in special collections beyond those of rare books, pamphlets, newspapers, and man- uscripts.

      • summary: Wayne Wiegand, an embattled advo- cate of popular culture collections, places the blame on the resistant attitudes in li- brary schools and libraries: Academic library collection development has an inertia of its own which is aided and abetted by the academic librarian's preconceived pre~­ lections, conservative training and book on- ented practical experience. In contrast to the conclusions in Currents of Wann Life that popular culture's struggle for life is over, Stevenson and other advocates of popular culture collections in academic li- braries realize that they are still on the de- fensive.13 They know, What librarians have traditionally identified as 'trash,' 'entertainment,' and 'escape literature' are the basic resources of popular culture research.

      • flesch: 56
      • summary: As the generic model of library research developed and grew with input from li- brarians, composition teachers, and in- structors from other undergraduate disci- plines, it became clear that the traditional methods of assigning research papers and introducing library research were inade- quate. Since attitudes are pivotal to the development of competent research- ers, it was decided that the following ob- jectives should be stressed in presenting the library to students: an understanding of the intrinsic role of library research in undergraduate education; a sense of ben- efit to result from effective library use; the development of an attitude of library com- petence in the student; an appreciation of the reference librarian's professional role · and the complexity of academic libraries; an understanding of library search as chal- lenging rather than frustrating; and a re- definition of library success as compe- tence in search processes rather than as number of items retrieved.

This study involved the anal- ysis of monograph usage at the Hillman Library, a central research library empha- sizing the humanities and social sciences, as well as of journal usage at six branch sci- ence and engineering libraries.

      • summary: If it is worth pursuing the use of JCR at all, we do not need more studies of gen- eral correlations between JCR rank lists and library uses, but studies of correlations at the fringes of use. While citation rank lists may not correlate badly with local use of all periodicals held, the correlation grows weaker as one goes further down the lists.

Line's chain of thought seems to be: (1) journal ranks by use are unstable; (2) ranks by citation counts are stable; (3) therefore, citations do not reflect actual use; and (4) therefore, since both use and citation studies are very imperfect predic- tors of local needs or wants, we may as well have the users say what they want and let them take the consequences.

Such volumes could be evaluated routinely according to the guidelines.

      • summary: Likewise, there have been no good studies demonstrating that three or four hours of library instruction spread over four years of undergraduate education really suffice to impart library skills; that the average college graduate could pass a library skills test six months after graduating from college; that the average college graduate, no matter how heavily exposed to library skills in schoot will ever be more than an occasional or sporadic user of the library in later life; or that librarians, who I suppose do possess such skills, are any better educated, better informed, or more knowledgeable than millions of other middle-class people successfully plying their trades as diplomats, politicians, businessmen, accountants, college professors, nurses, engineers, or architects. She implies that the library's mission is to teach library skills because all educated people need such skills in our 'information society.

However, its treatment of specialty journals (e.g., excluding Notes and BMLA but including Law Library Journal and School Library Media Quarterly) is confusing.

      • summary: By 1984 it had become conventional wisdom among academic librarians, as pointed out by Sharon Rogers in the wrap-up session, that conference papers presented at Bos- ton and Minneapolis had not been cited. Without a doubt much of the academic library pro- fession was caught up with the excitement of a national conference just for academic librarians where scholarly papers were to be read and discussed.

This study's findings tally closely with Stern's in the same discipline, while certain other disciplines within the hu- manities such as fine arts and musicology, while equally strong on book citations, contain twice as many references to the journal literature, documenting consider- able variation in the use of the journal lit- erature in the humanities.

      • summary: The data col- lected in my research seen in light of other recently published research on librarians and faculty status also allowed me to make some observations on library faculty requirements and their effect on publication productivity among librarians. If by 1995 academic librarians suddenly appear as marvellously expert, well-educated, and highly trained,' I will know that Holy Writ must include the miracle of the ages.

      • summary: That many university administrators think of academic libraries as 'bottomless pits (academic computer centers, for which even simple funding formulas do not exist, are often considered voracious first cousins to libraries) arises from an awareness that they are more complex than the traditional measures would im- ply, but without a better understanding of the forces that are changing academic li- braries these same administrators are without the tools needed to justify a differ- ent approach to the funding issue. As academic libraries approach this next major technological change, they may find a natural and knowledgeable partner in the academic computer center (the other bottomless pit for many uni- versity administrators).

As a paradigm for library service it pro- vides no clues to the services needed in the university, nor does it help to clarify the role of librarians in the educational process.

      • flesch: 50
      • summary: Clearly there is a need for academic li- brarians to increase their basic knowledge of the uses and applications of public ser- vices cost and performance measure data for library planning and decision making. Based on group inter- views at two libraries that are members of the Association of Research Libraries (ARL) and additional individual interviews with other librarians, findings suggest that participants have little faith in the usefulness of producing cost data and using performance measures; they be- lieve that the availability of such data rarely has an impact on decision making; in-house data frequently lacks reliability and validity; and they are too understaffed to take time away from the provision of services to identify, collect, and analyze such data.

      • summary: With the adoption of the ACRL standards for fac- ulty status for research librarians in 1971, increasing concern for and emphasis on the requireme!lt for librarians to conduct research and write scholarly articles has been expressed. 13 JoAnne Hall suggests that librarians who are involved in re- search perceive themselves to possess managerial and leadership skills, and, in fact, research activity was found to be a significant factor in receptivity to change.

      • summary: Her theory of library anxiety provides an excellent demonstration of how important it is for librarians to understand and make service deci- sions on the basis, not only of what library users do, but also how they feel about what they do. Insistent on the fact that the common themes she discovered in the students' journals would validate the need for and improve library instruction, Mellon ignores the implications of library anxiety, which suggest that instruction programs may be part of the problem.

      • summary: For most librarians, the natural outcome of maintaining faculty client files will be more frequent, systematic faculty contact, greater effectiveness in support of our colleagues, and thus a more significant role in the academy. To summarize: the purpose of the faculty client file is to document the interaction be- tween librarian and faculty member and to provide a record of the faculty member's infor- mation needs.

      • summary: Yet, according to two pro- fessors, little attention has been paid to the role of teacher, the act of teaching, or ineffective teaching [Toby J. Tetenbaum and Thomas A. Mulkeen, Designer Teacher Education for · the Twenty-First Century, Journal of Higher Education (Nov./Dec. 1986)]. This approach is advocated by Ernest L. Boyer, the former U.S. Commissioner of Education, who believes 'any college that has not thought carefully about goals should not even open the issue of college-wide assessment (Chroni- cle of Higher Education, Oct. 15, 1986, p.41).

ANALYSIS OF RESULTS Having studied the profile of the re- spondents, the authors analyzed the fol- lowing aspects of the data: • type of faculty-librarian contact (inside and outside of the library setting) • perceived usefulness of librarians • perceived importance of librarians' aca- demic subject background • perceived status of librarians at the uni- versity Each of these aspects was linked with the grouped disciplines and faculty rank.

      • summary: However, when private institutions were separated from public universities, the figures were quite different: 88% of the public institutions and only 12% of the private schools granted librarians faculty status. TERMINOLOGY One of the most striking impressions of the review relating to faculty status for li- brarians in the 1980s is the great variation among responses.

      • summary: 3 The changing orientation of academic li­ braries has also worked against the contin­ uing development of special collections. In order to develop a rationale for the continuing support of special collections within the context of limited resources available to academic libraries today, we must look at the elements required to en­ sure their operation and use, as well as the preservation of materials.

      • summary: UICC librarians began with first principles: the first chapter re- viewed the history of library automation to that time, and the second chapter was entitled 11 A Machine Age Library Philoso- phy. Writing in 1973, a decade after 404 College & Research Libraries ADP, Herman Fussier reported that Co- lumbia University had spent $1,105,000 on automation from 1966 to 1970; that Stanford had grants for library automa- tion of $1.2 million from the Office of Edu- cation, $1.13 million from NSF, and $650,000 from CLR and NEH; and that the University of Chicago had received almost $2 million in grants for library automation in the late sixties and early seventies.

      • summary: The opposing perspective, usually that of the faculty, is that library collections should reflect current publishing in the disci- plines regardless of current or prospective use of the material. Therefore, it seems almost inevitable that by granting collection de- velopment authority to faculty, a group whose first loyalty is to their profession, without stating guidelines for their ac- countability, library collections will tend to reflect the interests of the professions rather than the needs of the institution.

In 1954 a classification scheme, aimed mainly at university libraries, was compiled and published by the People's University, a key institution originally founded by the state to provide higher learning to top- ranking cadres.

This program was necessitated by such factors as limited vendor training; the need to recruit system trainers from among the staff; and the recognition that staff training for an ILS required far more planning than for single-function auto- mated systems and that staff training is an ongoing project because of personnel changes and future system enhance- ments.

      • summary: Whatever one wishes to call it-a collec- tion of collections, a library of libraries, the world's largest privately supported li- brary, an international collection, or sim- ply many tubs sailing the bibliographical seas on their individual bottoms-the Har- vard University Library is a phenomenon that commands admiration and respect. One of the vir- tues of this volume is that it gives a broad perspective of change and durability within a unique institution from which the thoughtful reader can draw the lessons of history, or at least the history of libraries.

There are thus three broad components of library research: in- formation need, search strategy, execu- tion of strategy.

      • words: 1046
      • flesch: 77
      • summary: Although the reasons for considering the implementation of these services varies from library to library most of the institutions are motivated by one of the following factors: a desire to bring ad- ditional monies into the library by charg- ing for special services to nonuniversity clientele, an opportunity to raise the pro- file and improve the image of the library on the campus and in the community, and finally, a chance to provide information services to other nonuniversity users without negatively affecting service to pri- mary clientele. This slim volume, the proceedings of the Second Conference on Fee-Based Re- search in College and University Libraries held at the University of Michigan in the Spring of 1987, provides a noteworthy in- troduction to the current thinking and practice on fee-based library services.

Quality of Research The assessments of the overall quality of LIS research since 1980 were almost evenly distributed among poor, satis- factory, and good.

      • summary: JUSTIFICATION Hypotheses of justification for work on expert systems posited until now address the economic or technological reasons for proceeding with the development of par- ticular systems.7 An expert system in ref- erence is desirable primarily because it can preserve the corporate memory within reference departments and can increase the individual's success in answering questions. Few individuals outside univer- sity laboratories and AI-specific compan- ies are able to create expert systems from scratch, and thus vendors offer develop- ment tools, variously known as shells, in- ference engines, framework, and struc- tures, that allow users to test the waters without investing hundreds of thousands of dollars in custom development.

Those who want to understand book selection in behavioral terms face what seems to be an unsolvable problem: that 'selection is always a private, cognitive activity that does not submit to precise observations or delineation.

Collection Development for Instruction-In most small and medium- sized academic libraries the collection pri- marily supports instruction; therefore, it is very important that the collection pro- cess be curriculum-centered. [An effective automation program and an efficient approval plan are important be- cause they can free library staff for collec- tion development liaison work, the central element in a shared authority approach to collection development.] 11

Theimer, Jr., quote a Canadian library administrator as saying that 85% of reference questions can be answered by nonprofessional staff in The Use and Training of Nonprofessional Personnel at Reference Desks in Selected College and University Libraries,' Col- lege & Research Libraries, 36:193 (May 1975); and Jeffry W.

QUALITY OF REFERENCE SERVICE Because the quality of the reference ser- vice performed at the reference desks by the student reference assistants was the prime focus of the evaluation, the study attempted to obtain pertinent information about this service from patrons, patron proxies, paraprofessional department as- sistants, professional subject specialists, and student reference assistants them- selves.

For the first time since Panizzi, a major English language catalog- ing code abandoned the idea of corporate authorship and limited the application of corporate main entry to five (later six, see AACR2R, 1988) narrowly defined catego- ries of works that (in the careful, if slightly otherworldly, term used in the code)

      • summary: Areas of applied re- search tend to draw on the more funda- mental understandings of a variety of dis- ciplines, as the Manhattan Project drew on physics, engineering, and other areas. Children's nonfiction is one such area: it would be perfectly plausible for the selector in chil- dren's literature to purchase only litera- ture in the narrow sense (PZ), while selec- January 1990 tors in other areas failed to acquire juvenile-level materials in history, biogra- phy, or science because they assumed that these areas were being covered.

      • summary: In almost all cases surveyed it was discovered that the em- ploying college or university, rather than the librarians themselves, was the party advancing the argument that librarians ought to be excluded as either supervisors or managerial employees. In large measure, the Supreme Court's conclusion-that faculty members at Ye- shiva were managerial employees-was premised upon the finding that the faculty members effectively operated the enter- prise.

Concerned about the infre­ quent references to libraries in many of the recent reports on educational reform, Breivik, director of the Auraria Library of the University of Colorado at Denver, and Gee, president of the University of Colo­ rado, suggest a wide range of possible roles for the library and librarians on cam­ pus .

Jim Wavada, in accord with Veaner, warns us that CD-ROM should be seen as the harbinger of the personal research li- brary, which will make it possible for end users to manage their information in- dependently of the traditional library.

      • summary: Although this writer will make some later mention of special collec- tions, for the purposes of this paper, the two terms are distinctly different con- cepts.10 The need for rare book collections in universities can be defended on at least two levels: the idealistic and the practical. Rare book collections preserve these titles and others that for varying reasons are considered special.

Hulin point out, little evidence exists successfully linking job satisfaction and productivity, so that frequently discussed topic is hard to sup- port as a valid reason for additional re- search.2

      • summary: I reasoned that the way in which the role of Chinese university libraries was perceived might be reflective of the domi- nant cultural, political, and economic real- ities of China, and that, as these realities are vastly different from those of North America (where I had lived my life until now), so might the role of university li- braries in China be much at variance with the perceived role of university libraries on this continent. THE PLACE OF LIBRARIES IN CHINA China has four types of libraries: those in schools (including university libraries), public libraries, libraries associated with the Academica Sinica (a scientific research organization that has many branches throughout China), and union libraries (established in factories for the use of the employees and their families).

      • summary: The history of microfilm provides some cautionary guidance as to the way in which the profession should approach the era of electronic documentation. , n the 1930s the vision for the use of microfilm technology in libraries and the scholarly com- munity in general was a com- plex one incorporating elements of preser- vation, space management, access to materials, and productivity. In addition to emphasizing the effi- ciency afforded by microfilm technology, librarians, having entered the new me- chanical age at last, exulted in the techni- cal details of microphotography.

      • summary: Introductory chapters, including an overview, policies, and organization of collection development, are followed by chapters on acquisitions: organization, pre-order searching, the order process (single titles), vendor-based order plans, purchasing special types of materials, nonbook materials, serials, gifts and ex­ changes, and a concluding chapter on the evaluation of both collection development and acquisitions activities. Ford's original version of this book was devoted solely to acquisitions, not collection development, and the book remains important for its thorough coverage of policies, proce­ dures, and problems of acquisitions.

Maureen Pastine and Bill Katz have compiled twenty-four essays that attempt to explore the ways in which programs of library instruction can be integrated into the curriculum to promote active, critical, and lifelong learning.

Butler estimates that actual printing ac- counts for only 10 percent of costs, with the managerial and editing costs that persist in any format accounting for about 60 percent.26 To base our estimates of the effect of electronic publication on publisher costs July 1991 alone would be to ignore our earlier con- clusion that value, not cost, is the key factor in establishing journal prices.

      • summary: There is no reason why a person of modest power or wealth might not have good ideas, or why he or she should be hindered in advancing those ideas in the market solely because of a lack of power or wealth. Still another stance is to assert with Karl R. Popper that while we can never be sure that we know the truth, we can root out falsity with certainty, and the best way to do this is a free trade in ideas.8 Irrespective of epistomological stance, the marketplace of ideas concept is an example of process theory.

The library can argue that these publications are purchased primarily to inform faculty and students of research results--because this is how scientists have chosen to disseminate the outcome of their work-and to stimulate similar activity, leading to future fund- ing opportunities.

In both sur- veys, large majorities of each group said they preferred academic faculty status, felt like faculty, believed that faculty sta- tus had upgraded the profession, and thought that faculty status enriched the careers of academic librarians.

LIS re- search-oriented journals, as well as funding organizations, ought to be sup- portive of such research.

      • summary: The hypotheses tested in this study are: • Technical services jobs are more likely to include administrative responsibilities; • Technical services jobs are more likely to require computer skills; • Technical services jobs are more likely to require foreign-language skills; • Technical services jobs are more likely to require previous work experience; • There will be no difference in the re- quirement of an American Library As- sociation-accredited degree between public and technical services, but ad- vanced subject degrees will be more often required for public services jobs; and, finally, • Higher salaries will be associated with public services positions. These articles blame everything from li- brary school curricula and instruction methods to the perceived tedious nature of technical services jobs.

      • summary: For instance, Tom Eadie argued recently that user educa- tion is, essentially, useless when it is aimed at groups of library users, delivered on schedule and in anticipa- tion of questions that have not yet been asked, rather than on demand at point- of-service.1 Mary Huston suggested that instruc- tion should empower library users to operate from their own domain of ex- perience rather than from that of the librarian.3

      • summary: Unfortunately, as Butler and Gratch note, much of the available litera- ture on library user surveys is descrip- tive and not easily transferable to the planning process.21 The user studies car- ried out by libraries are most frequently intended for evaluation of existing pro- grams and are very rarely employed for the planning of new programs and ser- . Another frequent problem with sur- veys is that they are directed at the user of library services and neglect the non- user, who is far more difficult to reach but who, even in a college or university environment, represents a significant portion of the population.

      • summary: Although it does not get down to the level of detail provided by the Wall Street Journal, it provides a very good overview of the institutional framework and the basic strategies that allow library fund raisers, or development officers, as they are frequently called, to stage the kind of idiosyncratic event described above. The newspaper cited a particu- larly striking fund-raising activity called calf bingo used by the Sydney, Montana, public library, in which the winner is determined by a calf deposit on a giant board.

      • summary: In general, the reac- tion to literary texts reflected a delayed grasp of literary trends, meaning that readers' responses evoked the themes of classicism, romanticism, realism, or symbolism long after those movements became prominent features of literary representation. Different interpretive communities are shown to determine reader response, based on such factors as regional perspectives, class identification, or gender-consciousness.

Purpose The purpose of this evaluation was to compare user competence under, and user preference for, two varieties of search- and-retrieval software for bibliographic databases: (1) software based on a textual interface; and (2) software employing a graphical user interface.

Fred Batt has identified nine categories (bibliogra- phies, surveys, position papers, etc.) into which it can be divided.3 No matter how it is analyzed, this literature includes at least four kinds of information: • A record of the Association of College and Research Libraries' long-term effort to establish a strong role for academic librarians; • The experiences of librarians who seek appropriate status in their institutions; • Survey reports which quantify aca- demic librarians' working conditions and views and record traditional faculty members' and others' assessments of librarians' contributions to academe; • The views of those who support or oppose faculty status, advice to librar- ians, and other expressions of opinion.

The primary objectives of this explora- tory study were to identify: • Perceptions about LIS literature, its quality and value; • Perceptions about the list of references appearing in LIS journal articles--their adequacy (extent to which all major stud-ies of direct relevance are included) and extent of inaccurate referencing; • How librarians conduct literature re- views and the extent to which they search the literature comprehensively; and • Suggestions for ways to make the con- duct of literature reviews easier while improving access to more source material.

In fact, if higher copying costs do induce more individuals to subscribe and thereby influence publishers to re- duce journal subscription prices to li- braries, then the net effect will be that the library has more money to subscribe to more journals, thereby enhancing access to information.

      • summary: The essays are of two kinds: (1) case studies of particular issues in specific countries (e.g., the Historiker- streit among West German scholars con- cerning the Nazi era; the impact of nineteenth-century student activism on the formation of Swedish research univer- sities; the role of the Organization for Economic Co-Operation and Develop- ment in setting research agendas); and (2) concise general surveys of larger themes (e.g., the exceptionalism of American higher education; the growing fragmen- tation of research, teaching and study; the dominance of scientific discourse in . It contains eighteen essays by an international set of scholars focus- ing on the creation of expert knowl- edge through university research and on the social and economic role of that knowledge in the United States and European countries.

Broadly speaking, he contends-and anecdotally demonstrates-that the en- trenched establishment in academe is conservative (and not liberal or radical as one would conclude from the media of late) even though the left, at least his- torically, enjoys superior intellectual cre- dentials.

In all these areas, and ·in many, many more instances, the author documents his view that the arrival of book technology swept away the chief ideological underpinnings of medieval and classical thought and paved the way for the rise of modern social, economic, and political structures in Europe.

As more people have spoken and written without repression about the terrible con- ditions, inadequate support, and mind- less censorship and as more deficiencies in library policies and facilities have been uncovered, dissident opinions have begun to be published in mainstream library pe- riodicals and non-Party library associa- tions have been formed.

It is good to read that strategic planning is going well in academic libraries (Meredith Butler and Hiram Davis, Strategic Planning as a Catalyst for Change in the 1990s, College & Research Libraries, 53:393-403, Sept. 1992), but not so good that some early pioneers are still being overlooked in the current literature of library planning.

      • summary: While such a function has many uses, the one that is most frequently noted, as in Nicole Yankelovich' s definition above, is for purposes of increasing the applica- tion and extent of bibliographic citations (i.e., surrogate references to other texts). Finally, there is what we might call the functional net- work, that includes the rules or gram- mar-not only technical (e.g., protocols), but also administrative and legal-which 202 College & Research Libraries regulate the network's operation.16 While information services have in the past been concerned primarily with the extended network, it will become increasingly im- portant for academic information services to participate more actively in the direc- tion and operation of the functional net- work as well.

      • summary: Using a methodology based on Ross Atkinson's article Selection for Preservation, the authors conducted condi- tion surveys in three college libraries, identified titles as curriculum support, low-use research, or special collections materials, and assessed their physical condition. Columbia University, for in- stance, found that 53 percent of its older ·classics, medieval, and renaissance his- tory collections are unusable by the defi- nition employed for the three surveys discussed here.21 Of national interest is the fact that some of the college library Class 3 materials appear not to be widely held, even by research libraries.

Reading Librarianship: The Erosion of a Woman's Profession against the backdrop of this supposed woman's year, however, brought a heavy dose of reality, reminding one how far librarians have come and how terribly far we, as individuals and as a profession, have yet togo.

It is the second part of this study that will be of particu- lar interest to academic librarians be- cause of its perceptive synthesis of trends, issues, and opportunities related to information technology, and also be- cause of the tentative conclusions prof- fered in answer to questions fundamental to the future of scholarly communication.

      • summary: The problem is that there has been a culture shift, and what Glazier chooses finally to call small press, numbering about 700 at the beginning of his period, has been overwhelmed by small, independent publishers of New Age books, cookbooks, and self-help books. One thing is clear: small presses (and litera- ture, and we, too) are not what they were, whatever they are to become.

      • summary: Considering the role of librarians in the production of this volume, this expenditure of library re- sources for the duplication and redupli- cation of conference papers of uneven quality is ironic. Little magazines (increas- ingly a misnomer) have received most of the attention while the volume of pub- lishing has shifted largely to books.

      • summary: In the example from our paper, when profit maximizing prices are used in both markets ($48 for libraries and $23 for individuals, not $50 and $19 as Talaga states), Ramsey prices will improve the welfare of society by increasing the welfare of libraries and their patrons by more than the decrease in the profits of publishers. While using profit maximizing prices is technically correct, it significantly increases the complexity of the diagrams and the tables but does not change our results.

      • summary: Every major develop- ment in research library practice, from the classification of collections to the in- troduction of online catalogs, has in- volved some struggle of this nature, yet research libraries have progressed. The acquisition budget may still be sacrosanct in many universities, but libraries are expected increasingly to maintain it themselves by cutting else- where within their own resources.2 At the same time that their purchasing power is shrinking, research libraries must acquire and provide access to a rapidly expanding amount of nontradi- tional formats and sources of informa- tion, further complicating an already complex budgetary situation.

Be- cause service is so difficult (in the ab- sence of a convenient gauge like revenue) to monitor and assess, and be- cause the real needs of academic users are so diverse and complex, and because the library has always had (by virtue of its proximity to its users) what amounts to a monopoly on campus for print informa- tion services, and finally because service is the library's only purpose for existence, the library has preferred and has been permitted to define service quality on the basis of whatever service levels it- the library-provides.

      • summary: While they do not disapprove of librarians selecting books, like faculty at other institutions, they believe that teaching faculty should have primary re- sponsibility for most book selection on in- terdisciplinary subjects. This reflects either low expectations of librarians by teaching faculty or a mis- understanding of their abilities and re- sponsibilities as noted by the authors of the University of Manitoba survey.18 Teaching faculty may have low expecta- tions of librarians because many librarians are not educated in the faculty's particu- lar disciplines and teaching faculty may not expect librarians to be very knowl- edgeable in these disciplines.

      • summary: An em- phasis on collection size, facilities, staffing, and networking or cooperative agreements can be expected from ac- creditors.18 There is general agreement that measures of library use are not emphasized in regional accredita- tion.19 Moreover, regional accrediting bodies do not make use of standards for academic libraries developed by the As- sociation of College and Research Li- braries.20 Casserly's work suggests that better guidelines for evaluation, from ACRL or other sources, are needed to carry out effective self-studies.21 To explore whether specialized ac- crediting group library guidelines share the same characteristics as their regional counterparts, a study was made of the content of guidelines from seventeen specialized accreditors (see appendix A). The literature on academic libraries and accreditation has concentrated pri- marily on regional accreditation.

      • summary: 1 The journal literature discusses such subjects as the appropriateness of strategic planning for libraries, the incorporation of organizational values into the strategic planning process, the entrepreneurial spirit, implementation and first-year ap- praisal, and utilization of strategic plan- ning by new directors at ARL libraries.2 There are also studies of strategic planning in public libraries, state chapters, a school of library and information science, urban libraries, rural libraries, national libraries, and internationallibraries.3 The Association of Research Libraries issued a SPEC Kit on strategic planning as early as 1984, and the Association of College and Research Libraries has offered a continuing education course (Principles of Strategic Planning in the Library Environmenf') and developed a strategic plan for charting the future direction of the Association.• In addition to publications in the lit- erature of librarianship, libraries have access to the rich corpus of management literature on strategic planning, and are likely to be guided and directed by the broader strategic planning done in their institutional settings. The example of library development and fund-raising activ- ity is used to illustrate the various stages of strategic planning.

      • summary: The application of these principles to a con- flict situation, such as that involving centralized versus regional networks, is supposed to result in a formulation of cooperative, rather than competing, re- lationships. What emerges from the analysis, however, are a few basic and understandable conclu- sions: (1) that a centralized structure such as OCLC can be most effective in dealing with subordinate organizations, such as regional networks, if it attains a decentralized structure of authority; (2) that competitive forces should be openly acknowledged and reduced to levels that will not destroy networking goals; (3) that good communications are of ut- most importance; and (4) that policy for- mulations and role definitions should be clearly expressed and communicated.

      • summary: To make reference service in academic libraries effective Jive changes are required: (1) reference librarians must be given clear budgetary and programmatic authority; (2) the hierarchy must be flattened and reference librarians placed closer to the top of the organization; (3) support services ·must be provided so that reference librarians are not encumbered by nonprofessional tasks; ( 4) reference librarians should be brought together and not isolated in small departments; and (5) public services planning and priority setting should be done by reference librarians. Absent from most of the discussion is an understanding that organizational changes are required if reference librarians are to accomplish what is being asked of them.

Then they can learn the needs and expectations of their customers as well as evaluate the level of customer satis- faction with library services.

      • summary: Joy Tillotson This study looks at three aspects of keyword searching to see if defaulting to keyword searches might serve as a solution to the problems people have with subject searches in online public access catalogs (OPACs). Because I had observed that reference librarians use keyword searching more than library users (and this observation was confirmed in a study from Adelphi University), I de- cided to investigate what might happen if all searches were automatically done as keyword searches, and what effect use of keyword searches has on the level of satisfaction of library users.

Hence it did not occur to me to claim novelty when using these data to compare public library holdings of certain series books (Bad Books in Series: Nancy Drew in the Public Library, The Lion and the Unicorn 18 [1994]:92-102), nor again in the paper, Bibliographic Mystery: Missing Books; Missing Author, in Rediscovering Nancy (Univ. of Iowa Pr., 1995).

      • summary: A search of the literature reveals only two large-scale but specialized studies of censorship in college libraries: the exami- nation of censorship in Canadian prairie province academic libraries in the early 1980s by Alvin M. Schrader, Margaret Herring, and Catriona De Scossa pub- lished in 1989; and Craighton Hippen- hammer' s 1993 survey of Christian col- lege libraries in the United States and Canada. Comparison between their findings and the results of the present study will demonstrate a steady and constant rate of censorship in college libraries of the United States.

      • summary: Moreover, some respondents indicated that items selected through use were given a more thorough review than those reviewed for collection- based preservation projects.26 In discussing Ogden's condition and use method of selection for preservation, Atkinson agrees that such an approach could represent a complementary system of cooperation, but renounces it on the grounds that if institutions based their se- lection decisions upon local decisions alone, the net result could be an uncoor- dinated and randomly developed na- tional collection. Sole reliance on the collection-based , or subject- based, approach to preserving brittle books has dominated microfilm- ing activities in the nation's research libraries.

      • summary: However, the literature of librarianship is strangely silent on the topic of theological librarianship, and especially on issues that are unique to theological librarians-those who work with theologically or religiously focused collections or libraries that support the education and training of people preparing for the ministry. IM,..~jijl search of Library ·Literature (1984-1994) yields fewer than forty citations on the topic of theological libraries or librar- ians; a major review of the literature writ- ten between 1924 and 1984 on the topic cites only another twenty-five articles. 1 Selected studies that are considered land- marks include a 1934 study of ministerial education; a 1957 study of theological edu- cation; a 1970 demographic survey of members of the American Theological Li- brary Association (ATLA); surveys in 1971 and 1980 regarding faculty status among theological librarians; and a 1984 survey concerning unique problems facing theo- logical librarians of the 1990s.2-7 The literature on theological librarian- ship notes: (1) the need for theological li- brarians to acquire library, theological li- brary, and theological professional edu- cation; (2) a paradox that theological li- brarians must formulate collection devel- opment policies that are not denomina- tional but collections that are; (3) the criti- cal role of theological librarians as pres- ervationists and developers of special cataloging and classification schemes that provide differentiation among specialized and diverse denominational resources; and (4) definitions of theological librar- ians as people performing ministry and as people who provide linkages among theology, church, scholarship, education, diverse constituencies, and both scholarly and popular literature.

      • summary: Given ACRL' s desire to encourage college administrators to treat academic library faculty equally to com- parably ranked faculty in other disciplines, this finding suggests that the reward struc- ture for research activities may not be in place to support the promotion provisions of the Standards. Previous studies have found that wages in the academic setting are, in gen- eral, significantly determined by such in- stitutional factors as intellectual activities, job performance, experience, and admin- istrative responsibilities.3-10 However, ear- lier studies focused attention primarily on traditional academic faculty, thus the role that these factors play in determin- ing the earnings of library faculty is un- clear as rewards for factor endowments are often market specific.

Scholars with solid experience in this area could have ex- plored the possibilities and limitations of these systems; the ways in which elec- tronic texts can further current research; new areas of humanities research that now can be effectively tapped by using electronic texts; the searching capabilities and effectiveness comparing the SGML- encoded text corpora to the ARTFL data- base (Chicago) of French texts that does not use SGML; the usefulness and/ or limitations of minim a l structural markup and the possible need for more sophisticated but expensive higher-level markup; innovative ways of incorporat- ing electronic texts in day-to-day teach- ing, their requirements of and needs for analytical tools; and the impact of these systems on humanities research method- ology.

Librarians have a lot to offer, but that potential will come to naught unless librarians can act in unity within states, unless we can work in part- nership among our state and regional chapters and ACRL, and unless we can get other nonlibrarian advocates to cham- pion our cause.

A four-page con- cluding chapter abruptly suggests that the force of new information technologies will make librarians redefine their work; that the term librarian has become anach- ronistic; and that what may be needed is a new type of information professional who is expert in the new information technologies and educated in a new sort of professional school of information studies or communication and informa- tion systems, which would result from library education joining forces with edu- cators in (unspecified) information and communication fields.

      • summary: At the same time, the price of failure to act now and to begin building the necessary new structures and para- digms will be the decay and degradation of library services and the narrowing of library roles to the point where it will be impossible to make the shift. 213 214 College & Research Libraries required is a transformation, not a refin- ing of organizational structure, work, and external and internal relationships, in- cluding those between and among all lev- els of library staff.

Other changes included the establishment of public workstations for accessing Web sites and other portions of the Internet, as well as adding a num- ber of resource links to our homepage.

      • summary: In his discussion, Goedeken made the unsurprising obser- vation that Calhoun and Bracken's asser- tion that their ratios represented a mea- surement of publisher quality had gen- erated controversy based, in part, on the validity of comparisons between the book lists of university presses and trade pub- lishers.4 Although relevance and quality are plainly subjective attributes about which no one would expect to find scientifically validated or conclusive data, the impor- tance to librarians of having some reliable 236 College & Research Libraries basis for publisher judgments contrasts strikingly with the paucity of any sort of information on the topic. In the near absence of data that might indi- cate the overall perceptions the collection development community has about academic publishers, the authors distributed a reputational as- sessment survey to a national sample of heads of collection develop- ment in academic libraries.

      • summary: Chris Avery and Kevin Ketchner Several members of the Education for Bibliographic Instruction Commit- tee (ACRL Instruction Section) conducted a pilot project to investigate the perceived importance of library instruction skills to employers, and whether instruction experience or coursework is important in getting a job for which library instruction is a stated responsibility. In thinking about ways to encourage the teaching of library instruction skills in library schools, com- mittee members realized that investigat- ing attitudes of employers toward library instruction might yield data lending fur- ther support to the idea of formal educa- tion in library instruction for library school· students.

      • flesch: 48
      • summary: These results suggest that the degree of demand for librarians with computer skills has little to do with the size of a library. The results validate the first contention of the third hypothesis-that possession of computer skills is of greater importance in certain types of positions than in oth- ers -and demonstrated that despite the increased demand for computer-related skills in all types of positions, differences in the degree of desirability among vari- ous positions remained significant over these years.

      • summary: College and Research Libraries Librarian/Faculty Interaction at Nine New England Colleges Donald H. Dilmore Faculty members play a central role on college and university campuses, and their perceptions of library service may be a key factor in the way the campus library is used and supported. However, research explor- ing librarian/ faculty communication and the possible relationship between that communication and faculty perceptions of library service and use of the library appears to be limited.

Since we know so little as yet about the ways in which the Internet, electronic reference tools, or ex- pert systems will affect the reference trans- action and its assessment, it seems prema- ture to assume that what has been tested and used effectively in a paper-based world will be entirely valid and usefulas is or with minimal change in the emerg- ing electronic and networked world.

Wilson's contributed paper, The Future of Research in Our Field, illustrates his continued interest in the development of information studies.

      • summary: In Webster's view, the accounts of postindustrial society, postmodernism, and the information city (actually the in- formation mode of development that figures in Castells's theory) support the idea of a new type of society resulting from information developments, where- as others, especially Schiller, Giddens, and Habermas, favor the claim that there has been no sharp break but, rather, de- velopment continuous with the past. The central question in this book by a professor of sociology at Oxford Brookes University is whether the information society in which we now live is a new kind of society, different in character from any previous society, or whether it isba- sically just an informatized version of a familiar old kind of society.

      • summary: For example, in sociology, �73 percent of the variance in article citations was within journals; thus, there is roughly three times as much variation within journals as between them.�18 Therefore, estimating the long- term significance of an article by the per- ceived quality or impact factor of the journal in which it appears is simplistic: Assigning the same value to all ar- ticles in a journal will overestimate the less influential and underesti- mate the more influential articles, thus effectively leveling out the very differences that [citation] evaluation procedures should seek to identify.19 In general, basing a citation study on a small set of prestigious journals will re- duce uncitedness substantially. Is that similar to the vari- ance within other LIS journals?

As useful as his work is for understand- ing the development of communication in Europe and the United States, it is less relevant to understanding commu- nication systems in other cultures.

We also can look to technological trends such as the growth in new architecture designs for integrated library systems, database con- struction, and office applications, and ponder the effect of these innovations on this role.

Various teams, referred to as Clouds, have been created in the library to address issues of service quality per- tinent to library customers.

The author reminds readers that the present curriculum that critics of today lament was denounced as trivial and anti-intellectual in the past; that the Western Civilization requirement which many regard as the heart and soul of the curriculum did not come into being until a government program instituted it after World War I to ensure that American values were being taught; and that the recent debate over the American-centered literary canon is unfortunately dominated by an un- founded fear that the canon is finite, and to add (e.g., ethnic and gender studies) to it would mean the elimination of something else.

Copyrighting Culture is a well-written, well-argued, and, ultimately, fascinating study of how intellectual prop- erty law, particularly copyright, has been used as a tool to expand the wealth and power of the information and entertain- ment industry oligarchy.

      • summary: In a mere one hundred and twelve pages, Kenneth Megill summa- rizes the contributions of the three in- terrelated fields of records manage- ment, special librarianship, and ar- chives to the management of corporate information systems; and he charts a new course for information systems in the face of shifting technological and managerial patterns. Megill, director of the Information Resources Manage- ment Program within the School of Li- brary and Information Science at Catholic University, begins with two basic premises: (1) The advent of elec- tronic data systems is radically chang- ing the way information is used by cor- porations, and (2) changes from within and without corporations require new ways of maintaining the information that makes up corporate memories.

      • summary: Admittedly, the ability to access Internet “knowl- edge” (or more to the point, to differen- tiate between online trash and treasure) may make some slight contribution to career success in the years to come, but the strategic value of Internet access surely pales before the real determi- nants of class differentiation in Western society (class, race, and differential ac- cess to high-quality education). The method boils down to pos- iting some type of horrifyingly unjust, underlying structure that you think tends to manifest in all the various prod- ucts of Western culture, and then to select some things you have heard about the Internet that seem to echo this pattern.

      • summary: Librarian, instructor, and student become partners in the cre­ ation, evaluation, and dissemination of scholarly information. t now is a commonplace that technology is changing forever the way we educate students and, thus, altering our jobs as university librarians and teachers. Many educators are scrambling to assess the significance of these pr ofound changes in education, questioning what we accomplish with our commitment (or, some would say, servitude) to computer technology in the classroom.1 Although the Luddite in us all decries the dehuman­ izing effects of technologies that have the potential to further divide class from class, student from mentor, and seeker from knowledge, many also hold out the hope that instructional computer tech­ nologies can serve the aims of critical, liberatory, and feminist pedagogies by empowering students to be confident us­ ers of these new resources which certainly will control access to information of all Ruth Dickstein is the Reference Librarian in the Main Library at the University of Arizona; e-mail: dickstei@bird.library.arizona.edu.

An examination of the applications of CAI to library instruction revealed that most CAI addressed the notion of teaching some specific skill, most often use of an OPAC.

The report, not finding much evidence of boundary spanning, noted “little involvement by members of the university community outside the library” and concluded that, “It is almost as though research libraries are catch­ ing their breath before they might pro­ ceed to realign their resources, organi­ zational structure, and services.”

      • summary: She has divided the essays into seven major categories: publishers, writers, booksellers, and reviewers; pur­ veyors of products and services to librar­ ies; independent librarians on their own; independent librarians who have devel­ oped their own companies; those in­ volved in association work and work in the academic world; librarians involved in the corporate world; and finally, librar­ ians who have traveled farther afield. When Shumar claims that academia is not fun­ damentally a meritocracy, perhaps he is trying to identify “false consciousness”; skilled educators do not rise to the top and marginalized adjuncts are not the less skilled.

      • summary: Although none focused specifi­ cally on college librarian authors, the re­ search suggests that more authors from large university libraries and fewer from college libraries contribute to the literature. Hernon’s finding that 72.2 percent of sub­ missions to C&RL were by single authors but that more than one-third of the accepted papers had mul­ tiple authors makes a sig­ nificant point—that more single authors submit pa­ pers, but that those by multiple authors are pub­ lished more frequently.27 Authors' Positions It is not surprising that a preponderance of articles by college librarian authors are on admin­ istrative and public service topics.

      • summary: In charting this spread across Europe, Space between Words gives careful consideration to the addi­ tional graphic cues that allowed medieval readers to read fluidly, rapidly, and si­ lently: capitalization to mark the begin­ nings of certain words; traits d’union (roughly, hyphens) showing the lack of completion of a word at the end of a line; ligatures and “monolexisms” (such as the “&”) that aided the “compaction” of text—all technological devices improving reading efficiency. Of course, separations of texts into word units did not happen by fiat or all at once but, instead, emerged slowly, from the seventh century on, beginning in the Scriptoria of the British Isles and moving gradually eastward and south­ ward through Europe.

In comparing the consumerism of students in the 1970s with that of students in the 1990s, the ear­ lier generation is portrayed as reacting to a general trend toward social institu­ tions—post-Watergate and Ralph Nader—whereas this generation is react­ ing to a sense of separateness from cam­ pus life fostered by competing job com­ mitments and increasing part-time atten­ dance as well as to specific criticisms of higher education.

      • summary: Librarians, on the other hand, are eligible for tenure at fewer than half the four-year institutions in America.2 Some of these institutions provide librarians with faculty status, which includes tenure review by one’s peers, and some do not. An earlier analysis reported the impact or the effects of faculty status for librarians on research universities.3 Research appears to receive less emphasis in colleges, perhaps be­ cause of less demand by the outside com­ munity for the associated output prod­ ucts.

The danger was not only continued faculty ignorance, and hence indifference, to developments on the Web, but inadequate connectivity also jeopardized the university’s ability to at­ tract students, recruit new faculty, and retain current faculty who were becom­ ing more technologically demanding.

      • summary: In recent years, library Web sites over­ all have undergone a tremendous prolif­ eration. The pages studied featured links to library services, resources on the Web, directions for locat­ ing the library, details of access for the dis­ abled, and a few special features such as lists of library instruction classes and a vir­ tual tour of the library.4 In 1998, David L.

      • summary: In 1983, John N. DePew expressed his views on problems gener­ ated by faculty status for librarians: Faculty status is inappropriate for li­ brarians because it creates tensions that obscure the proper role of the li­ brarian, and it interferes with the ef­ fective delivery of library services by diverting librarians’ energies and at­ tentions from those services.1 The Debate Continues The ACRL Academic Status Committee has been quite active in strengthening the con­ cept and practice of granting/maintaining academic status for librarians. Notwithstanding the tremendous growing pressures on academic librarians to meet higher expectations of users, it is my opin­ ion that most librarians with faculty status still firmly believe in the virtues associated with this standing.

      • summary: Findings indicate that Penn State librarians are quite productive in terms of the number of publications they contribute to the literature, and they are strongly com­ mitted to research. Penn State librarians are required to publish in order to be success­ ful in their quest for promotion and ten­ ure, and anecdotal evidence suggests that these librarians believe the expectations for publication have increased dramati­ cally in the past few years.

      • summary: Kors (a professor at the University of Pennsylvania and a central figure in the 1993 “water buffalo” speech code case at his own campus) and Silverglate (a criminal defense and civil rights lawyer in Boston) do make a point about the effi­ cacy of speech codes. The sheer absurdity of many of the cases they present illus­ trate the shortcomings: speech codes are legalistic controls misapplied to a prob­ lem of ideology; the exercise and enforce­ ment of such codes tend to be arbitrary; and they are designed primarily to ac­ commodate the administrative flowcharts and paper-chase procedures of bureau­ crats.

That Moran’s absolutist expectations of us are more than we can fulfill does not relieve us of responsibility for our roles in scholarly communication.

This study focused on library Web sites of public-supported colleges and univer­ sities in the Southeast; a similar study conducted on all types of HBCUs nation­ wide may be necessary to determine any differences in their performance.

      • summary: Another example is the University of Michigan Library, which was one of the first institutions in the country to under- take diversity initiatives and programs in areas such as minority recruitment and retention and bibliographic instruction.7 In �Diversity in the Library: What Could Happen at the Institutional Level,� Haipeng Li discussed the need for, and relative lack of, diversity programs and initiatives in liberal arts college libraries and the efforts at Oberlin College to implement diversity programs in a liberal arts college library environment.8 All academic libraries may face many of the same challenges and have similar opportunities. Whereas 61 percent of those libraries within insti- tutions with college diversity officers of- fer services to specific segments of the stu- dent population, only 40 percent of those within institutions without a college di- versity officer have implemented such programs, as represented by a statistically significant chi-square of 0.046.

      • summary: Job dis­ satisfaction, where it exists, seemed to be largely independent of the introduction of new technology.22 In a study of corre­ lation between job satisfaction, job atti­ tudes, and work behavior among staff members in academic libraries in Nige­ ria, Edet E. Nkeuweren supported the proposition that management style and quality of work life affect job satisfaction and that overall job satisfaction is a func­ tion of many needs. This study examines job satisfaction of librarians of African descent employed at academic libraries holding membership in the Association of Research Libraries.

      • summary: Anne-Marie Belanger and Sandra D. Hoffman surveyed academic library users to see if demographic or other factors in­ fluence how often they use ERIC on CD­ ROM.8 Judith A. Adams and Sharon C. Bonk found that, for faculty, not knowing what electronic resources are available is the major barrier to use. This paper reports on a two-phase study of academic libraries to identify patterns of database use and the factors that might influence this use.

Krummel has come on the scene to look over the entire valley, indicate the gen­ eral pattern of succession among the spe­ cies, pause occasionally to describe curi­ osities, and encourage the visitor to ex­ plore on her or his own. The chief virtue of this engaging and in­ formative overview of library history is brevity; if the old adage is right, this es­ say contains much wit and perhaps some useful wisdom.

      • summary: All of this discourse, from opposite ends of the cultural spectrum, amounts to a late vindication for the “materialists” of book culture, those book historians and artifactualists who have raised a moun­ tain of scholarship to explain how and why books have become precisely what they are today, and to provide students of the book and of book history with the means to describe exactly what they en­ counter when a book is carefully, “ana­ lytically” examined. In the wake of Derridan deconstructionism and especially Gérard Genette’s discov­ ery of “paratexts” (e.g. titles, dust-jacket blurbs, etc.), humanists, too, are seizing with new vigor upon the physicality of books, their various nontextual qualities that serve as coconstituents of meaning in “the complex mediation between book, author, publisher, and reader.”

      • summary: From her journey through archives and libraries from New England to the Carolinas, she has turned up an interesting and occasionally pro­ vocative series of episodes and anecdotes concerning print culture in early America. The principal problem with the book is its apparent lack of familiarity with the formidable body of secondary literature on the book in early America that could have given Williams’s doctoral disserta­ tion perspective, context, and an argu­ ment.

      • summary: Knowing organizations know there is only one way to get something done, but this is not the case with the learning organization. It suc­ ceeds in being thought provoking and provides an easy segue into the chapters that discuss how we can find our way into the future. Libraries’ future, the authors argue, is dependent on them becoming learning organizations, not knowing organiza­ tions.

      • summary: Knowing organizations know there is only one way to get something done, but this is not the case with the learning organization. It would appear that plagiarism is cur­ rently something of a growth industry; as access to electronic databases, convention-flaunting ‘zines on the Web, and academic writing centers have been added to older opportunities such as “term paper mills,” fraternity houses’ caches of previously submitted papers, and “research assistance” providers.

Similarly, the great investment in information technologies has not made libraries any less hierarchi­ cal or less centralized.

      • summary: In some­ thing of a perverted Wisconsin Plan, the authors of these papers move further in the direction of “corporate specific” with the argument that the eroding support of public higher education, coupled with the willingness of corporations to pay well for education and training directed to­ ward their own concerns, represents a sig­ nificant opportunity for public universi­ ties to realize a social mandate and to en­ sure financial security. Financing, espe­ cially, seems to be a point on which the contributors agree—it is the major growth sector in higher education and a potential source of wealth for institutions capable of directing their efforts to take advantage of an evolving market.

      • summary: James Conaway’s history of the Library of Congress focuses on the thirteen Li­ brarians of Congress who have served our national library for the past two hun­ dred years. Under legislation signed by Presi­ dent Ulysses S. Grant in 1870, the Library of Congress became the sole depository for copyrighted works, a role previously shared with the Smithsonian.

      • summary: Although they retain the tra­ ditional features of print narratives (goal-seeking, conflict and uncertainty, and the anticipation of outcomes), they require more scripting, more writing, more dialogue, more work—all in order to free the reader to explore possibilities as they cannot in print. The Good Soldier (1915) were interactive narratives in the same family as Michael Joyce’s afternoon (1990) and Geoff Ryman’s 253 (1996)?

      • summary: Librarians and teaching faculty can improve acceptance of Web projects only when submitting external re­ views of their work to the evaluators. With these findings, the authors called the concern over acceptance a “non-issue” and credited it to the merit criteria of peer review, which is applicable in both print and electronic mediums.1 A subsequent survey of business faculty supported this conclusion.2 Unlike ar­ ticles in e-journals, Web projects are rarely peer reviewed, and the issue of accep­ tance remains very real.

      • summary: The article concludes with a description of an analytical tool that may be used to assess journal prices. Economic Theory and Model To analyze the effects of electronic avail­ ability on journal price, a straightforward model was established that applied ordi­ nary least squares (OLS) regression on cross-sectional data similar to analyses reported by others.3 Earlier models typi­ cally regressed price on a number of vari­ ables to distinguish the statistical rel­ evance of publisher type in determining price.4 Not only do these studies confirm librarians’ belief that certain publishers practice price discrimination, but they also show that periodical prices are driven by other factors, as well.

Traditionally, reference encounters have been considered in terms of the type of question or the type of patron involved.

      • summary: Thomas W. Shaughnessy and Sa­ rah M. Pritchard have provided overviews of benchmarking in libraries.8, 9 Recently, several reports of benchmarking studies in academic libraries have been published that look at service measurements such as wait times and Web site usage.10–12 Suzanne H. Angel and Leslie G. Mackler described a benchmarking survey of hospital libraries that examined a range of library services, including reference performance.13 How­ ever, the libraries that Angel and Mackler studied did not use a standardized means of determining patron satisfaction, so it is unclear how comparable their results were. A 1998 pub­ lication by Peter Hernon and Ellen Altman provided thorough background information on assessing service quality in libraries using a variety of methods.1 Charles A. Bunge, as well as John C. Stalker and Marjorie E. Murfin, described the Wisconsin–Ohio Reference Evaluation Program, which compares librarians’ and patrons’ perceptions of the same reference transactions and points out the strengths and weaknesses of both sets of percep­ tions.2, 3 Jennifer Mendelsohn reported on a study designed to better understand what constitutes reference service qual­ ity by interviewing reference staff and patrons.4 Other researchers have relied solely on patron perceptions and opin­ ions, explaining that only the patrons know if they have been satisfied with a service.5, 6 Although measuring service quality in a single library can be accomplished with a variety of methods, self-assessment alone may not be very useful.

Also missing is the recognition that most such institutions are wholly and traditionally dependent on “outside copy” from the Library of Congress and vendors (including library networks), that this copy is frequently flawed and dysfunctional, and that the library and information science profession appears totally immobilized about actually im­ proving the situation (for example, devot­ ing more staff and resources to critical copy revision and enhancement, as well as dynamic subject heading reform, cross-referencing, and innovation at lo­ cal and network levels, in tandem with efforts to correct and reinvigorate the cata­ loging operation at LC and make govern­ ing codes, such as AACR2, more Index to advertisers Academic Press

This article grew out of a presentation by the author to a March 15–16, 2001, conference on knowledge management for academic librarians sponsored by Do­ minican University’s Center for Knowledge Management.

      • summary: The wonderful originals vanish, while in their place appear the changeling of bad microfilm—with pages skipped, many frames illegible, and the original format of the materials, contain­ ing some researchable informa­ tion that is not text, gone forever. But he saves his true disgust and disdain for those who created the film Slow Fires and accelerated the call for the preservation of paper through microfilm with grants from the office of Preservation and Access of the National Endowment for the Humanities.

      • summary: Epstein also lets fly his share of howlers, among them, an oddly vitriolic denunciation of the Catholic Church as “that sex-besotted, dictatorial Church” (oh, dear!); a swipe at the Library of America for issuing “a volume of sermons most of which are with­ out [sic] literary value or historical inter­ est in themselves” (just give me The Canon, thank-you); or an odd reading of Marx advocating that “technological changes—what Marx called changes in the forms of production—produce changes in consciousness” (which Marx?). These are the people looking for—and finding— those audiences abandoned by the corpo­ rate dinosaurs, and their quiet successes make for a very different view of the present state of books and publishing in America.

      • summary: The digerati is divided into three classes: first are the A-list digerati consisting of the ex­ ecutive management of IT companies, venture capitalists, and majority stock­ holders who fund the companies; second are the academic researchers and devel­ opers, engineers, and programmers who have special IT knowledge to design, pro­ duce, and develop IT; and third are the vice presidents, directors, and senior sales and marketing personnel who require enough IT knowledge to market and sell products. By examining the inter­ section of IT, power, people, and bodies, West demonstrates how new modes of surveillance and control in society and over human bodies are created by IT as it becomes more efficient, productive, and profitable.

      • summary: Although this facilitates short- term access, it should raise serious ques- tions about the potential for long-term sustainability because, unlike scanning projects, there is not necessarily a hard copy to fall back on. This vague caution centered on the necessity of preserving electronic documents in a mul- titude of formats, including native formats such as Microsoft Word for contextual in- formation, raster format such as PDF or TIFF for access, the OCR output so that documents will be searchable, a structured format such as SGML or XML for preser- vation purposes, and an ASCII document to serve as a last-ditch method of recover- ing lost data.

      • summary: At the same time, funding organizations ought to be persuaded of their obligation to assist ef- forts to produce library directors with the prerequisite expertise and attributes. Li- brary directors generally found them- selves at a higher level of leadership de- velopment and ability than did their sub- ordinates, a common outcome of leader- ship studies.4 Paul H. Mosher, vice provost and di- rector of libraries at the University of Pennsylvania, characterized the position of university library director as one that has gone through various stages of change: “the ‘keeper ’, evolving to the ‘professor-librarian’” (up to 1928), “the collection or ‘bookman-librarian” (1928– 1970), “the organization man (or woman) or ‘scientific’ librarian” (1970–1985), and “the provocative or ‘networked’ librarian: the ‘change agent’… on the university stage” (1985–present).

Of course, the Oxford En- glish Dictionary also lists some of the more familiarly contemporary meanings of the term: unintelligibility, meaninglessness in speech and writing, nonsense, gibberish, and other verbal gestures of contempt, par- ticularly where the language in question is characteristic of some identifiable set of practitioners, occupations and professions being among the more obvious examples of these.

Special aspects of East Asian collections, induced by constraints in han- dling vernacular-language information from East Asia, have distanced those collections from mainstream academic library administration.

Freitag read a paper for this symposium entitled, “On Planning a Music Library,” which was subsequently published in the journal, Fontes Artis Musicae.6 Freitag identified three types of music libraries (those in large research libraries, in universities, and in music departments in smaller in- stitutions) and provided a typical descrip- tion of each type. Twenty-seven percent of the schools surveyed had music libraries in the main library on campus, and 29 percent had other locations or combinations of locations.

      • summary: As might be expected, IT profes- sionals seldom or never felt alienated from the technological decision-making process in their libraries because of ter- minology and, to a great extent, neither do other library administrators. Conversely, the expert seems to be the culprit that keeps aca- demic library administrators from being able to fully participate in technological discussions.

      • summary: The statement of leadership competencies has been intended to “identify a small set of attributes that successful leaders pos- sess, articulate them in ways that could be transferred across all leaders, and cre- ate leadership development experiences to ensure that future leaders possess these attributes. The research presented here describes the areas of expertise, experience, and skills associated with academic development positions in colleges and universities as a basis for identifying leadership competencies that are relevant to aca- demic librarians and administrators. ithin the context of increasing competitiveness; limited re- sources; demands for greater accountability to stakeholders; the requirements of a diverse, technologi- cally astute, and demanding user popu- lation; and organizational challenges such as changing structures and greater use of team-based decision-making, the effective organizational leadership of academic li- braries is of growing importance.

      • summary: The assumption found in the literature is that reference librarians universally accepted the role of instruction as it developed in the academic library, despite its chal- lenges.8 In 1984, William Miller cited in- struction as one of the significant new additions to the roster of reference librar- ian duties and a cause of consternation.9 Audrey D. Moore’s 1996 article described library instruction as one of three endur- ing reference service categories, the other two being informational services and reader ’s advisory services.10 In the early 1990s, librarians debated how reference services ought to incorpo- rate instruction. Such courses vary dramatically from institution to institution, and for the purposes of this particular survey, including them as part of library instruction would not render comparable results.14 Library tours are considered part of library instruction and counted toward the yearly number of classes.

For example, 2,700 years ago, Ashurbanipal’s librarians called down the wrath of Adad and Ishtar on the heads of tablet defacers, and dur- ing the Middle Ages, monastic librarians placed “anathemas” (curses) and other drastic injunctions in books to dissuade potential abusers.

Academic library directors added forty- eight additional job-related challenges whereas the chief academic officers added twenty-four.

      • summary: College librarians were intended to complement the new, but confusing, rich- ness of digital resources by putting a per- sonal face on the impersonal and increas- ingly huge body of information that was available electronically. College librarians are often asked by their clientele to help with literature reviews, to check citations, to provide facts, to make referrals, or to provide other forms of reference service.

      • summary: In ad- dition to the literature dealing specifically with library printing services, there are articles on the best way to manage public printing resources in an academic setting. Since printers first arrived in libraries, many have charged from the beginning, viewing this service as roughly the same as photocopying; oth- ers feel that printing fees can create bar- riers to access.

      • summary: In the introduction to this collection of es- says on the relationship between typog- raphy and the content and meaning of printed texts, editors Paul C. Gutjahr and Megan L. Benton argue that “the ethic of typographic invisibility” has prevailed in Western bookmaking since the time of Gutenberg. Typography is primarily a visual art; and perhaps if li- brarians attended to traditional uses of ty- pography in printed books, they might learn more from the objects that surround them in their daily work and even learn to apply that learning to the way readers in- teract with words, both in print and online.—Cecile M. Jagodzinski, Indiana Uni- versity.

According to Glogoff, rather than being driven by tech- nology, library leaders can be the drivers if they use organizational structures that invite new ideas and promote adaptability.

      • summary: The impact is greatest for those depart- ments that have online degree programs, and e-journal access is particularly vital for this constituency. Studies documenting the usage patterns of electronic journals have com- pared print and e-journal characteristics, surveyed faculty for their per- ceptions and expectations, and analyzed the impact on library practices.

      • summary: However, student research is not just searching for sources. Tacking back and forth between the ACRL Stan- dards and the English 102 objectives, as well as mining their own experiences with student research (including their own college research experiences), the authors drafted a matrix-style rubric that divided each of these categories, which they called Relevance, Credibility, and Engagement, into three qualities they hoped to see in successful papers and as- signed a numerical value to each of four degrees of success they thought it would be possible to identify.

      • summary: Any choices of this kind are necessarily based on such issues as time constraints, staff availability to carry out the proce- dures, and the degree to which the insti- tution is committed to ensuring that nonranked journals are given the same consideration as ranked journals. Yet, when libraries do use JCR to evaluate journals in their collections, it is often the case that “the journals one wishes to evaluate may not be contained in the JCR.”15 For example, of the approxi- mately 126,000 scientific journals pub- lished worldwide, the JCR Science Edi- tion covers only about 5,700 of them.16,17 Faced with the fact that many of the jour- nals in their collections, or journals they may wish to purchase for their collections, are not part of JCR and therefore cannot easily be compared with ranked journals in the same field, collection management librarians may not be properly evaluat- ing such journals for selection and de-se- lection purposes.

To take an example, consider Weinberger �s discussion of space.

      • summary: Do students report that these facilities are meeting their needs? To answer this research question, the following survey questions were used as the basis for evaluating student library use behavior: • Survey question 4, “During a se- mester, how often do you visit a library to complete course-related assignments?” • Survey question 5, “When you do visit a library, which library do you visit most often to complete course-related as- signments?” • Survey question 6, “Please rank the quality of library services and materials in the library you visit most often.” Trends in Distant Student Use of Electronic Resources: A Survey 179 Sixty-six percent of respondents re- ported they “seldom” or “never” visited a library versus 32 percent who reported they “frequently” or “often” used a li- brary. Information and Library Services (ILS) at UMUC conducted a needs assessment survey to examine trends in student use of library resources, services, and instruction in order to understand how student usage pat- terns, needs, and preferences have changed as well as stayed the same.

      • summary: In an attempt to reduce mis- understanding, Longino distinguishes three meanings of scientific knowledge: (1) knowledge production, the practices and processes that generate knowledge; (2) knowing, a three-way relationship among knowers, representations (e.g., models and theories), and objects (e.g., black holes); and (3) content, the corpus of knowledge that consists of verbal, mathematical, or visual representations. More narrowly, it is an exploration of a matter of considerable moment and dispute in that domain, namely, the role of social relations in the production and content of scientific knowledge.

This corroborates earlier reports by Pat L. Weaver-Meyers that patron satisfaction correlates strongly with the patron’s per­ ception of timeliness, but not with the ac­ tual delivery speed.37 In short, ILL patrons are perhaps more tolerant of delivery speed than has been assumed by ILL prac­ titioners and library administrators.

Adoption of this tutorial as the standard meant tremendous time saving for reference staff, and plans were under way in 1996 to increase access by mounting the tutorial on the Web.3 With the integration of Internet tech- nologies into library instruction, use of an online tutorial became a time- and cost- saving alternative that would deliver con- sistent content to large numbers of stu- dents.

      • summary: Iannuzzi lays out four levels at which we can assess information literacy outcomes: within the library; in the classroom; on campus; and beyond the campus.69 One of the ALA’s primary agendas reflects the necessity of assessing information literacy on a pro- grammatic level.70 Because library instruc- tion does not have an undergraduate pro- gram, compared to assessing student learning of psychology or biology majors, one route for programmatic assessment is to take a snapshot of information lit- eracy at an institutional level. Maughan states, “to establish a baseline of student skills around which an information literacy program might be built; to assess the effectiveness of particu- lar library instruction sessions or ap- proaches to instruction; to determine the impact of library instruction programs on student information literacy skills and academic success; and to generate data with which to communicate with fac- ulty.”

So begin the chapters at the heart of Samek’s book, where she records the debates, actions, and inactions that took place in Washington, Atlantic City, Chi- cago, Detroit, Los Angeles, Dallas, and New York, as ALA conferences became a moveable arena for activists to contest the library’s social role.

      • summary: In part two, 278 participants completed a revised questionnaire consisting of a 54-item Likert-type scale that assessed levels of library anxiety experienced by students enrolled in a doctoral degree–granting program at an urban southeastern university. From her research, Mellon developed a theory about library anxiety, which stated, “When confronted with the need to gather information in the library … many students become so anxious that they are unable to approach the problem logically or effectively.”9

      • summary: Other fac­ tors that may account for some of the ob­ served differences in the results of these studies and perhaps may reduce their comparability are the variety of online catalog systems studied, the use of vari­ ant definitions of subject searches or no- hits searches, and variations in data col­ lection, sampling, or analysis methods.48 At the same time, the database enhance­ ments explored in the present study may have played a role in the slight reduction in the frequency of subject no-hits search results. Both comparisons reveal that frequen­ cies of all searches (figure 3) as well as no- hits searches (figure 4) across the five types of search indexes were quite similar, thereby suggesting that the sample week was not atypical of searching done over the full year.

When that effort failed, Columbia filed new patent claims that would have guaranteed it seventeen more years of a multimillion­dollar income.1 Many universities have gained great wealth by allying themselves with the commercial sector, licensing their patents or otherwise associating themselves with large­scale industries.2 Although modern American universities may not all be ex­ actly rolling in money, many have found ways to tap wealth undreamed of only a generation ago.

Of special relevance to librar­ ians is the author ’s view that even the “smallest preservation and curatorial insti­ tutions” have a role to play in a future na­ tionally organized digital preservation in­ frastructure, but that there will not be a need to replicate full-scale digital preservation activities at each and every node in that in­ frastructure because many functions will be most efficiently consolidated in a number of regional repositories, parts of a national distributed network.

      • summary: As Marianna Tax Choldin points out in the opening essay of the volume, the international network- ing of Slavic librarians today is a far cry from the early efforts of a handful of li- brarians to attain an international presence in 1974 as part of the newly formed Inter- national Committee for Soviet and East European Studies. Without a doubt, for many libraries and collections exchange is no longer the cost-effective acquisitions tool that it once was.

      • summary: The provision of digital images for higher education has been an active area for research, design, and production projects in recent years. A smaller, but significant, number are using digital images (50% of faculty and 45% of stu- dents), and many more expect to increase their use of digital images in the next three years (75% of both faculty and students). • Potential users of a digital image li- brary (faculty members, in particular) are more concerned about content-related is- sues than they are about retrieval-related issues; they are less concerned with how to discover images than with whether the image library will contain relevant images at all.

With the creation of the U.S. National Archives in 1936, a Danish-speaking employee surveyed the content and condition of the remaining records and, in a series of shipments, nearly all the remaining records were sent to Washington, except for land and legis- lative records.

      • summary: Although the term “open access” is somewhat fluid, included under its banner are the so-called “two roads to open access”: open-access journals and “e-print” (i.e., preprints or postprints) repositories, both of which make the full text of scholarly articles freely available to everyone on the open Internet.1 Al- though debate swirls around questions of copyright, peer review, and publishing costs, individual authors are taking action in this arena by posting their articles to personal or institutional Web pages and to disciplinary repositories. This study looks at articles in four disciplines at varying stages of adoption of open access—philosophy, political science, electrical and electronic engineering and mathematics—to see whether they have a greater im- pact as measured by citations in the ISI Web of Science database when their authors make them freely available on the Internet.

      • summary: For humanities librarians who studied lit- erature in the 1970s and 1980s, the essays collected here will transport them back to the exciting debates and discoveries of their apprentice years, the theoretical breakthroughs of Iser, Jauss, Fish, Bleich, and Holland that shattered the classical view of the reader as the dispassionate receptacle of incontrovertible meanings placed in literary works by sagacious authors. The “reading sites” of this book’s title are not libraries but, rather, locations in the imaginary space populated by readers, texts, and authors where, at least in the view of reader-response theories of litera- ture, the meaning of texts is constituted.

      • summary: The papers in this section are quite diverse, moving from a broad and general ex- amination of the characteristics of the truly usable and accessible digital library to far narrower studies involving barriers to library use by Nigerian professionals and digital library services at the Italian Health Institute library. These communities can be large or small—for instance, the gen- eral public that might wish to participate (aided by museums, libraries, or archives) in the sharing of cultural heritage infor- mation online or the “closed” community of a university where an “open archive” is established to store an institution’s schol- arly output such as papers (published or not), data, reports, and so on.

      • summary: Part of the cause of this chasm between Web journal publish- ing and Web publishing at large may lie in the more traditional model of publish- ing that is still in use, namely, print. So a library negotiates borrow- ing arrangements with other libraries, in- stitutions, or document delivery services to provide these documents, sometimes for free and o en at a cost (certainly if the service is a commercial one).

      • summary: Although agreement in David F. Kohl and C.H. Davis’s study was considered to be high among the ARL di- rectors and deans, it appears that journal prestige for the ARL directors is similar to that of the practicing physical science librarians in the present study and may be influenced more by a journal’s applicabil- ity to practice than by the publication of original research.28 Indeed, Mary T. Kim subsequently reported that the deans in Kohl and Davis’s study placed a higher value on research-oriented publications, but the ARL directors preferred a mix of research-practitioner journals.29 Similar to the physical science librarians’ data pre- sented here, Kim also found that for ARL directors, citation factors did not influence prestige rating for the highly rated prac- titioner-oriented journals.30 In contrast, however, she did find that citation factors for research journals were correlated with the journal prestige rankings of both ARL directors and deans.31 The preferred library and information studies journals publish virtually equal proportions of research and nonresearch articles, with the majority of research articles being reports of qualitative surveys without statistical analysis.

      • summary: Predictably, the highest percentage of journal citations was in the sciences (58.8%) and second highest in the social sciences (46.2%), whereas journal citation use in the hu- manities was low at 12.6 percent. Further, citation checking of research documents and comparison of those citations with the availability of materials in a local collection offers an unobtrusive and cost-effective method of evaluating that collection’s ability to support research.2,3 As Smith’s and Robert N. Broadus’s literature reviews noted, citation check- ing is a time-honored and well-studied method for determining the usefulness of collections.4,5 It is part of a broad category known as citation studies, defined by Paul H. Mosher as “any specific methodologies that use source citations or references drawn from the scholarly apparatus of articles and books as the basis for manipu- lation, research, and study.”6

      • summary: The authors therefore prepared a list (using the R so ware) for each volume of 30 (page number, column number, record number) triples, where they randomly selected “page number” from the numbers {1, 2, …, 694}, randomly selected “column number” from the num- bers {1,2,3}, and randomly selected “record number” from the numbers (1,2, …, 7). The authors also checked 434 College & Research Libraries September 2005 for any systematic trends over time in these proportions among volumes; a plot of “Proportion found” versus volume number (or versus 1,2,3,…,26) did not show any strong trends, except perhaps slightly higher proportions (above 85%) for five of the last nine vol- umes.

However, if the group has collectively bid too li le to begin the license, the institutional bid amounts are distributed to the group as a whole with a comparison to the consortium’s preferred method of cost allocation, and the group participants are asked to resubmit their bids.

      • summary: Beile and Adams showed an average minimum salary of $30,751 for all technical services job ads; the current study found $38,688.23 They found the average minimum salary for a nonadministrative cataloging job was $28,888; this study found $35,304.24 For cataloging job ads with administrative duties, their finding was $34,997; this study’s was $41,403.25 According to the American Institute for Economic Re- search’s Cost of Living Calculator, the cost of living between 1996 and 2001 increased 12.87 percent.26 All the salary increases for technical services job ads exceeded this rate of growth. Findings included a very large increase in the number of jobs advertised, increases in the number of jobs reposted and in salaries, and a decrease in foreign-language requirements. hen talking to colleagues, the anecdotal consensus seems to be that technical service jobs are becoming increasingly hard to fill.

      • summary: Com- pared to the authors’ study of thirty-two journals for 1993–1997, the pres- ent study finds that for 1998–2002, there were declines in the total number of refereed articles (almost 4%), number of refereed articles by academic librarians (almost 13%), proportion of refereed articles by academic librar- ians (just over 4%), proportion of academic librarian authors (almost 3%), and proportion of coauthored articles by academic librarians (almost 4%). Neverthe- less, it is noteworthy that the proportions of academic librarian authors in these group studies fall within a fairly narrow range—between 26 and 44 percent of the authors were academic librarians.

      • summary: The result is a multifaceted approach to employee orientation that includes a scheduled orientation session as well as tools and support for managers and supervisors in welcoming and orienting new employees to the work environment and organizational culture. Although employee orientations assist with the socialization process, they alone will not increase organizational commit- ment.13 For the orientation experience to have lasting value, employees should see ongoing evidence that their profes- sional development is valued.

      • summary: The book includes an introductory essay by Ari Hoogenboom, Emeritus Pro- fessor of History at Brooklyn College, City University of New York, which places Putnam’s travels in Europe in context with other “travelers [who] wished to widen their intellectual horizons and to experi- ence natural wonders,” including such notables as scholars and men of letters George William Curtis and Charles Eliot Norton, artists Mary Cassatt and James Abbott McNeill Whistler, writers Stephen Crane, Edith Wharton, and Mark Twain, and composer Edward MacDowell, to name just a few. In this collection of the transcribed and edited manuscripts of Putnam’s travel let- ters, John D. Knowlton, a retired archivist and librarian for the Library of Congress, reveals Putnam’s sense of humor, love of family as husband, father, and brother, and professional concern for keeping in touch with the Library of Congress even while on his European tour.

      • summary: Of course, the trends affecting use of university libraries’ newspaper collec- tions were part of larger trends affecting newspaper readership, which is down overall as television news, newspaper Web sites, and, increasingly, blogs are used more frequently for news.12 Today, search engines designed to scoop up and present the news have changed the way we read the news. Webb also makes clear the distinction between simply placing a tele- vision in a public place and focusing on television news.

      • summary: An- other interesting possibility proposed by Ackerson is that the “lag time” between when articles are published and when they are cited by other disciplines varies from field to field and that “the rate of dif- fusion is slowed between disciplines that are dissimilar.”32 As it becomes more commonplace for departments to encompass a diversity of research, as- signing discipline to articles by author affiliation might lead to the conclusion that there is less cross-disciplinary usage of research from other disciplines.

In November of 2002, the Association of College & Research Li- braries’ (ACRL) Focus on the Future Task Force identified recruitment, education, and retention of librarians as core issues facing academic libraries.1 Fewer quali- fied individuals are seeking positions in academic libraries, which has led to shal- lower pools of applicants with advanced subject skills.2 Moreover, many academic libraries are also increasingly having difficulty recruiting librarians who pos- sess the foreign language expertise that academic institutions seek.3 In 2002,

      • summary: f the focus of bibliographic description is the artifact—the precise capture of its physical and textual facts—the focus of subject headings work is the library user and his or her content-related needs and expectations.1 Ideally, subject head- ings enable users not familiar with the literature of a field to identify and gather together relevant works, regardless of their authors, titles, disparate physical locations, and what other major topics they may treat. This article extends arguments recently presented by Gross and Taylor (2005) in two directions: first, by considering the importance of subject headings for access to historical materials; and, second, by examining the value added by subject head- ings even when the full text of a work is available online.

Nor does it delve into the array of collection-devel- opment specifics for particular fields (for that ma er, library reports and program self-studies at the author’s institution are online).3 It makes some observations that, when combined with a university’s own needs and ingenuity, may be generally useful for judging whether a standard process to assess research collections would strengthen program review and refine institutional development.

      • summary: Therefore, the purpose of this study was to identify the nature of the association between critical thinking disposition and library anxiety among graduate students. Specifically, whereas critical thinking disposition is positively related to performance in academic-re- lated activities,33 library anxiety is nega- tively associated with academic-related achievements, such as research proposal writing,34,35 grade point average,36 and performance in research methodology courses.37,38 Moreover, Anthony Onwuegbuzie, Qun Jiao, and Sharon Bostick suggested that library anxiety hinders information search performance by impeding stu- dents’ ability to receive, to concentrate on, and to encode information necessary for the research proposal writing pro- cess.39 They explained this phenomenon by speculating that library anxiety may create cognitive interference by causing the students to shi from task-relevant to task-irrelevant thoughts.

      • summary: From serving as a page at the Fleet Branch of the Cleveland Public Library to direct- ing academic libraries, to teaching and administration in library and information science education, George S. Bobinski was in the midst of challenges and changes that shaped and reshaped the world of libraries and librarianship from 1945 to 2005. At the same time, she also manages to provide those more familiar with digital library concepts ample fodder for the creation of their own analyses, while refraining from revealing what it all means and where it is all go- ing—probably because there is no way of making such a forecast at this point, scholarly or otherwise.

      • summary: If a counterbalance of interviews with academic librarians had been included, the book would have had a broader appeal and could have built a similar empathy for librarians; faculty reading the book could have been educated, and students entering the field of academic librarianship could have learned much about the ranks they would be joining, as well as learning about the lives of faculty members. Hernon argues that skilled leadership is more essential than ever, as familiarity with information policy—with its constantly changing and complicated interplay between public policy, informa- tion science, and economics—becomes ever more crucial for decision makers within academic libraries.

However, another BYU stu- dent who saved time with federated search but pre- ferred nonfederated search commented, “While [feder- ated search] did go faster (which to many will be a plus and will sway them to choose [federated search]), I think if I did lean to one or the other, I’d actually pick [nonfeder- ated search]” (emphasis in original).

      • summary: In the book under review, he presents a heartfelt critique of the digitization of libraries and defense of traditional book culture in the form of a novella embodying a “cautionary tale about the demise of the printed book, the decline of reading, and the confl ict of print and digital culture.” Briscoe’s basic message seems to be that, whereas libraries have historically been the natural allies of the bibliophilic forces of light, their recent turn toward fund- ing for digital resources to the detriment of book acquisition and preservation is turning them into abettors of the forces of darkness.

But the advanced training offered by American colleges was desultory at best, and it was not until the founding of the Johns Hopkins University in 1876 and the establishment of the University of Chi- cago in 1890 that true advanced education became available in the United States.

      • summary: Drawing both on the idea of teacher identity from the literature of teacher education and on existing studies of professional stereotypes and professional identity development among academic librarians, this study explores the degree to which academic librarians think of themselves as teachers, the ways in which teaching has become a feature of their professional identity, and the factors that may influence academic librarians to adopt a “teacher identity” as part of their personal understandings of their role on campus. Drawing on the literature of profes- sional education and professional identity among academic librarians as well as the literature of teacher education, this study will explore the ways in which academic librarians are introduced to teaching as part of their professional work, the degree to which academic librarians think of themselves as teachers, the ways in which being a teacher has become a significant feature of their professional identity, and the factors that may influence an academ- ic librarian to adopt a “teacher identity” as part of his or her understanding of the librarian’s role on campus.

In 1968, Stewart Brand edited the first newsprint edition of the WEC, with a group of friends and helpers collecting and reviewing outlets for information— many of which were product catalogs, specifically for the New Communalist movement—and for those who were abandoning society for the supposed refuge of primitive rural life.

The more traditional understanding of “commons” (as a shared natural resource or gathering place) is explicated to lay the groundwork for the analysis of knowl- edge as a commons, and thereby allows us to begin to understand the many ramifica- tions of thinking of knowledge as a shared resource with all the rights and privileges pertaining thereto.

This should not 188 be interpreted as saying Burgan naively believes major problems will simply melt away when faculty members assert them- selves, but rather she cogently shows why students and the public interest are not well served when the faculty are not actively involved in governance.

Crisscrossing associative fi laments link the thousands of books on the bookseller’s shelves in a dense net of intertextuality, a net that may exist solely in the bookseller’s mind and can be only inadequately rep- resented or replaced by catalog searches or even keyword searching in a full-text environment.

      • summary: Understanding that there is no guaranteed method of protecting electronic information, she contends that librarians need to be proactive in inform- ing their users how to protect themselves. While the title of the collection itself, and the editors’ introduction, make the conference theme clear, it is contributor Pierre Desaerdt who most clearly expresses the importance of provenance research: it is not simply a game for bibliophiles (or bibliomaniacs), but one way “to assess the representative quality of research based on collections of printed books.”

      • summary: In matters more pertinent to everyday library operations, the authors note the historical importance of catalogs and what they reflect about their owners’ collecting goals; they describe shelfmarks and shelving methods and show how these suited the needs of the reader/ owner; they provide physical details on individual books that give us hints on how particular readers used books and texts. The stories these researchers tell about individual books tell us what mat- tered to those early scholars, writers, and collectors and perhaps can help inform contemporary guardians of libraries both great and small on how best to serve the people who use them.—Cecile M.

      • summary: Based on the description of this book, readers would likely expect a theoretical, practical, or contemplative book on the history of image collections, digitization’s impact on image collections, methods of constructing image collections, or points of consideration in defining and building image collections. General audience readers may find the book a useful prompt for discussions on the concept of image collections; however, the book’s description does not lend itself to interesting those readers.

      • summary: Despite the aforementioned weak- nesses, the authors are largely success- ful in explaining the need for change in academic libraries and the ins and outs of how to go about such change. This description fills a significant portion of the book and works as an anchor for other discussions in the book, building on the theory provided in chapter two, “Theoreti- cal Underpinnings of Change,” while set- ting the stage for the discussions on library evaluation in chapter eight, “Standing up to Scrutiny,” and the forward-looking view on library transition in chapter nine, the final chapter, “Positioning the Academic Library for a Vibrant Future.”

      • summary: The sub- sequent five chapters discuss the structure of FRAD and its relation to FRBR; FRBR, and the history of cataloging (this chapter, by William Denton, is a delightful and in- formative read that provides a broad per- spective on the history of the organization of bibliographic information); the history of FRBR research and its impact on the further development thereof; the concept of “bibliographic families” as groups of related works; and—the most direct area of professional concern—the incorporation of FRBR concepts into the new cataloging code now being developed: RDA (Re- source Description and Access). Alexander C. Thur- man notes that FRBR would have to be a supplement to archival control as exhibited in finding aids or collection- level MARC records, as FRBR concepts cannot sufficiently represent the collec- tion, which is the “central unit of archival organization.”

      • summary: For example: • library books in the natural and applied sciences typically circulate just as much as those in other subject areas;16 • the use of electronic books (views or downloads per title) is higher in the sciences than in other fields;17 • engineering and physical science majors check out library books only slightly less o�en than other students;18 • nursing students rely more on books than on journals;19 • in their wri�en coursework, engi- neering students beyond the first year of study cite five times as many books as journal articles;20 • science faculty cite books on a regular basis, and the number of citations per cited book is especially high in the sciences;21 • more than 80 percent of the books acquired by academic health science libraries circulate within the first three years, with an average of 4.6 circulations during that time.22 Circulation data for a typical liberal arts college (table 1) provide further evidence of frequent book use in the sciences. ”2 A major shi� in priorities occurred at most research libraries in the early 1980s, Journal Prices, Book Acquisitions, and Sustainable College Library Collections 577 when aggregate serials expenditures exceeded book expenditures for the first time.3 At undergraduate libraries, the transition occurred later, typically in the mid-1990s.4 By 2000, the primacy of journal collections was well established in most academic libraries.

Additional reasons for considering paperbacks include the improved quality of paperback editions, the ability to add supplemental bindings to paperback editions (especially when heavy use is ex- pected), and the fact that the physical life span of paperback editions o en exceeds the intellectual life span of their content.

For example, a library decides to emphasize its document delivery and ILL services because it believes that en- hanced access to publications will improve the quality of student term papers.

      • summary: The lack of specific “how-tos” in marketing can be frustrating to marketing students. Ideally, working with the client takes marketing concepts far beyond the boundaries of a textbook and provides students a realistic context5 and can help them develop problem-solving and team­ work skills that they will continue to use after graduation.6 While valuing the benefits of experi­ ential learning, educators also recognize the difficulty of engaging students en ­ rolled in lower-level marketing courses in a practical marketing experience when Collaboration between Marketing Students and the Library 111 those students typically lack a firm grasp of marketing concepts.7 One common way to overcome this obstacle is to find a client accustomed to volunteers without formal training, such as not-for-profit organizations (NPOs).

The second part, “Free Software,” is essentially a history of open source software culture, but Kelty convincingly relates the discussion to how Free Software is a recursive public and something that can be witnessed from the earliest days of soft ware collaboration (and the Internet).

Some of the trends include the need to assess and document institutional effectiveness (especially in the realm of student learning), new standards and training in digital technology, and in- creasing user expectations for access to digital information.

To determine if competency theory applies to students who have nonprofi- cient information literacy skills, Gross and Latham replicated the Kruger and Dunning studies, focusing on the infor- mation literacy skills of incoming college freshmen.7 In this study, participants were asked to predict their performance on an information literacy skills test and to predict how their performance would compare to the scores of other partici- pants in the study both before and after taking an information literacy skills test.

Approximately half the collections surveyed had copyright statements, and those statements were often difficult to distinguish from terms of use and were frequently vague or misleading.

      • summary: Information completeness is a rela- tively subjective measure, which depends on context, specific domain, or subject.30 Even within a topic, a wide range of scores can be obtained for the criterion “expiation of topic” due to different types of sources. Several researchers have ap- plied an information quality framework to assess Internet information, and most have found that, although online informa- tion has proliferated at a remarkable rate, the number of Web sites providing com- plete information accounts for only a very small portion of the total.

      • summary: Many of the citations derive from Appalachian Studies’ two primary schol- arly journals, Appalachian Journal and the Journal of Appalachian Studies, and from well-known anthologies and readers. There are numerous problems with this bibliography: it lacks name author- ity control (for instance, Pat and Patricia D. Beaver); citation selection appears to be random (for example, it includes Rory Kennedy’s book American Hollow but neither the video documentary upon which it was based nor the extensive “roundtable” discussion it received in Appalachian Journal); it includes mate- rial that is from areas not included in ARC’s or any other previous definition of the region (one example being Louisa County, Virginia, to the east of Appala- chia and Williamson County, Tennessee, to its west); articles are misclassified (for example, folklorist Richard Blaustein’s article on musician Clint Howard is under Appalachian Studies rather than Music); the subject index was apparently computer generated and egregiously in- adequate; and various publications such as the Encyclopedia of Appalachia and three special Appalachian issues of the Black Music Research Journal (full disclosure: I served as guest editor of the latter) were sampled without an explanation of why some articles were included and oth- ers were not (for instance, included are Pearson’s article on Appalachian blues, Higby and Wright’s on Appalachian jazz, Lightfoot’s on white blues but not Zol- ten’s on Appalachian R&B, Davenport’s on great blues singer/poet Ida Cox, or Hay’s on the Appalachian roots of James Brown’s music).

      • summary: Roe claims “the first English auction catalogue devoted to music” was issued for the sale of William Gostling’s collection in 1777, though music historian John Hawkins named five earlier auctions (1714–66) and provided details presumably garnered from catalogs no longer extant. In part, this neglect is due to the separations men- tioned by the editors in their Introduction: the means of production and distribution have become significantly different from those of the ordinary book trade, the use of printed music is different as is the size of the market (being at the same time specialized but global).

      • summary: A recent estimate is that conventional library storage can house 145 volumes per square metre (121 per square yard), as compared to high-density repository storage of 373 volumes per square metre (312 per square yard).36 Based on these figures, the saving in li- brary floorspace would amount to some 3,691 square metres (4,429 square yards), which could be replaced by 1,434 square metres (1,721 square yards) of reposi- tory floorspace. The projected Phase 2 will invite the par- ticipation of other research libraries and possibly expand the scheme to include monographs.15 The intention is to ensure the preservation of a designated number of copies in the Reserve and thereby en- courage substantial freeing up of space as libraries deduplicate, confident that items will be retained in perpetuity and can be borrowed as required.

This finding reflects the trends shown in other studies that emphasize the importance of these book format sources in the humanities as a whole, and in literary studies in particular.

      • summary: English professor Carol A. Senf describes bringing her undergraduate Victorian studies class to the Special Collections Department as a means to encourage students move beyond their tendency to use “already digested” secondary sources that were often chosen without much thought.5 Senf also notes that archival sources can dramatically reduce plagiarism, since their individual nature means that sec- ondary sources defining and analyzing a particular document are less likely to exist.6 Additional benefits of course proj- ects conducted in the Special Collections, as detailed by history professor Marian J. Matyn, are an increase in the confidence level of student research and papers that are better informed and more engaging.7 In contrast to these testimonies, Kath- leen D. Roe writes, “The general lack of understanding of archives is painfully evident to the archival profession.”8 The following statements extracted from student papers aim to show a variety of the student observations and sentiments without being redundant.

Colbert used the libraries-cum-archives under his control not only as sources of information for his personal administra- tive work but also as instruments for projecting state interests into the realm of cultural politics.

      • summary: As with neoclassical economic theory, these models assume perfect mobility, which implies the ab- sence of noneconomic barriers such as discrimination.24 This approach to labor market analysis usually requires the de- velopment of earnings attainment models that include quantifiable human capital variables hypothesized to influence the determination of wages. The occupationalist perspective con- tends that significant earnings differen- tials are due to segregation of jobs based on irrelevant characteristics such as gender and race.25 Occupationalists fo- cus on both individual and occupational factors to explain differences in wages.

Through the application of standpoint theory, Hall explores how these autobiographical memoirs fit within the framework and tradition of African American autobiog- raphy and why each narrative possesses within it the distinctiveness of manifesto by critiquing the social, psychological, economic, and political dynamics operat- ing within their personal and professional lives as African American journalists.

The percentage of available OA articles is the same, though, as the findings of Matsubayashi and others in their study of the biomedical literature.29

Conse- quently, many of Cooper’s conclusions in the central chapter on “common charac- teristics” of child composers are difficult to substantiate: what does it mean, for instance, that, among this particular sample of musically important people who composed as children, so many of them became composers as adults?

For example, a source lists Africa Hamlin of Pembroke, Massachusetts, as a possible African American soldier; later research revealed that he was of European descent and had siblings named Asia, Europe, and America.

      • summary: Guest Editorial 405 Perspectives concerning the makeup of the core mission of academic libraries and the relative balance between its two major com- ponents – physical and virtual resources, vary widely leading to false expectations and unnecessary apprehensiveness. It may well be that our discussion about the future of academic libraries oc- casionally distorts the reality of what is in fact happening.

      • summary: This paper describes the many challenges faculty librarians face in balancing their work load with service and scholarship; justifies why academic librarians need tenure; and ultimately proves that tenure and faculty status for academic librarians are an absolute necessity. This is due to incorrect perceptions about what academic librarians do and how they serve their profes- sion.

      • summary: Thirty active social sciences and humanities faculty, as well as doctoral students, were interviewed about their use of electronic information resources for research purposes, their perception of electronic and print materials, their opinions concerning the Ellis model, and ways the model might apply to them. The model includes six fundamental charac- teristics of information seeking: starting, chaining, browsing, differentiating, monitor- ing, and extracting.1 This study seeks to understand how electronic information resources affect the information-seeking processes in the social sciences and humanities.

      • summary: Crosscutting the distinction between description labor and search labor is a further distinction between semantic and syntactic labor. Such transfers are possible, in Warner’s estimation, because these technologies are themselves the products of human labor and designed with specifically hu- man purposes in mind: historically, there has been a tendency to delegate as many processes of human labor as possible to technological tools.

      • summary: Significantly, though, both types of searches require semantic search labor, for the onus is on the searcher to disambiguate and inter- pret the results of a full-text search. Because, in Warner ’s view, semantic labor is categorically not transferable to machines, any reduction in semantic description labor entails an increase in semantic search labor.

      • summary: Defining distinctive services with the clarity with which we have defined distinctive collections allows us to acknowledge that the 21st century will be marked by different, but equally valid, definitions of excellence in academic libraries, and that the manner in which individual libraries demon- strate excellence will be distinctive to the service needs, and to the opportunities to address those needs, found on each campus. I maintain that understanding the process by which such distinctive services develop and contribute to the evolving mission of the 21st-century research library is as critical to its future as is understanding the environment for resource sharing, the need to rethink retention of print collections, or the challenges inherent in supporting e-scholarship.

      • summary: While they had believed that IR users would primarily want to have access to a collec- tion of the published research materials of faculty and graduate students, their study indicated that potential users want to have a network in which they can share teaching and learning materials, find po- tential collaborators, and promote their research to colleagues. It is noted that we know far more about authors and contributors than about any other type of IR user.31 In an earlier study, it was discovered that, although nearly half of the surveyed IR managers reported gathering user counts to assess the success of their IR, just 10 percent stated that they had interviewed their users and only 4 percent stated that they had surveyed their users.32 We do not know where IR end-users are coming from, how they find the IR, what they look for in the IR, and how they use the IR functionality available.33 We also do not know who end-users are, how they are using IR content, and how satisfied they are with the quality of IR content.34

Acquiring, adding, and maintaining URLs in document catalog records raises a series of questions.

      • summary: Even though the history, sociology, and information science departments could no doubt use a systematic examination of information policies from either the historiography or methodological frame- works, Information Policies and Strategies will likely only benefit academic libraries that support library science programs, where information professionals can use it as a catalyst for developing concrete studies of how information policies are developed.—Timothy Hensley, Virginia Holocaust Museum. Despite this omission, he begins with a brief survey of how information has contributed to, and even shaped, our society and uses this position as a backdrop of assumptions for the remainder of the book, attempting to demonstrate how each of the forthcoming areas he investigates influences the way in which we handle information policies.

The author indicates that job descriptions for these types of positions can be sweeping in the list of responsibilities that need to be performed and often presume a level of foundational knowledge regarding diversity efforts.

      • summary: On May 4, 1515, Pope Leo X issued a pe- culiar and remarkable decree, the Super impressione librorum (On the printing of books). In it, the Pope acknowledges a deep-seated sociocultural anxiety about the new technology of printing, stating that, although the reading of books can be a profitable pursuit for those seeking knowledge and the invention of printing has helped spread truth and learning more widely and inexpensively than ever before, the very same technology that en- ables the dissemination of truth also facili- tates the transmission and perpetuation of pernicious error that corrupts rather than edifies the reader.

      • summary: Moving forward into the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, Volume II offers several compelling articles deal- ing with the production and selling of printed books, such as Natalie Zemon Davis’ fascinating account of the activi- ties and concerns of the Company of the Griffarins, a Lyonese trade union of journeymen compositors and pressmen; Clive Griffin’s revealing description of Book Reviews 301 the usefulness of Inquisitorial records as sources for insight into the itinerant lives of printers in sixteenth-century Spain; John L. Flood’s look at the rise and decline of the Frankfurt Fair and its impact on the commercial distribution of books across Europe during the Early Modern period; and Ian Maclean’s informative analysis of the market for scholarly books in northern Europe between 1570 and 1630. Although each of these respective periods encompasses a wide range of differences between, and developments in, the way books were manufactured, distributed, and con- sumed, both volumes prioritize the same basic themes: the physical production of books; their “look” and textual layout and how these factors affected their use; the cultural impact of books—whether manuscript or printed—as material objects; economic processes of textual dissemination; and, finally, processes and practices of book consumption.

As the library grows to include more digital resources and users begin to create their own metadata, librarians must expand their concepts of knowledge organization beyond traditional means of description and classification.

      • summary: Whereas such artists as George Cruikshank had employed art as social satire in creating prints or illustrating books, the artists of the Sixties worked in a more academic style to produce realistic drawings that were “both escapist and satirical, highly moral and overwhelmed with a sense of archaic dreaminess.” Such artists as George du Maurier, John Everett Millais, Frederick Sandys, and Frederick Walker worked directly with George Murray Smith, publisher of The Cornhill Magazine, and with John Cassell (The Quiver) and James Hogg (London Society).

      • summary: Assessing Academic Libraries The question of how best to measure efficacy of academic libraries has been debated for many years during which most assessment and evaluation studies have focused on modifying corporate or business models. For example, Continu- ous Quality Improvement, Total Quality Management, Balanced Scorecard, and customer service assessment models are all management and evaluation tools that have had a significant impact on measures of academic library efficacy.4 In corporate settings, evaluating performance by estab- lishing these measures of success seems a reasonable approach.

      • summary: It is clear that university stake- holders are increasingly deemphasizing traditional library quality measures (such as volume counts or number of books checked out) and instead want to know what students are able to do as a result of their interaction with library services and resources.3 While this mindset bodes well for robust librarian involvement in student information literacy skill building, there are still barriers to full participation. In this course, frequent assessment of student skills revealed gaps, mispercep- tions, and bottlenecks that limited success in target information literacy outcomes.

      • summary: Even in an age where more and more library-subscribed digital content is ubiquitously available via any Internet- connected device, The Academic Library Building in the Digital Age demonstrates that colleges and universities continue to build new academic libraries and highlights some of the reasons why. In chapter 9, the author focuses on reported usage data within the new library spaces; his findings demonstrate that, while social areas like cafés, art gal- leries, and meeting space are important for new libraries, the busiest areas are group study and quiet study spaces.

      • summary: Two studies show a correla- tion between an increase in Grade Point Average (GPA) and library instruction (Wong & Webb, July 2011; Wong & Cmor, September 2011); a third demonstrates a positive relationship between library instruction and student retention rates (Emmons & Wilkinson, March 2011;), and the remaining five discuss the increased understanding by students of various research skills after attending library instruction sessions (Hufford, March 2010; Rempel, November 2010; Chen & Van Ullen, May 2011; Cooke & Rosenthal, July 2011; Johnson, et al, November 2011). Guest Editorial 7 I keep returning to a question librarians in my line of work have asked ourselves many times during the course of our careers: “Are we having an impact with library instruction?”

      • summary: However, no study has explored how directors of libraries with membership in the Association of Research Libraries (ARL), who are engaged in entrepreneurial leadership, define and view it as a means for creating new organizational structures, generating income, developing information delivery and technology solutions, building new partnerships, and improving services. Additionally, it reveals what partici- pants perceive to be the most important elements of entrepreneurial leadership: seizing opportunities, taking risks, and having a willingness to fail.

      • summary: Literature Review While online LI activities are increasingly becoming key components of many aca- demic libraries’ overall instruction plans, comparatively little has been written about the accounting or reporting of such activities. Most researchers have concluded that method of delivery (F2F vs. online vs. mixed) appears not to greatly impact the effectiveness of or satisfaction with LI, indicating that properly planned and executed online LI activities can be suit- able adjuncts or substitutes for F2F LI.14 Research in all of the above areas is vital to the continued success of academic libraries, especially in a higher education environment where accountability and assessment are increasingly important.15 There can be no doubt that academic librarians need to continue to explore issues of user satisfaction, the measure- ment and benchmarking of information literacy skills, and the effectiveness and perception of various forms of LI.

      • summary: Examining data on ILL requests for locally owned titles is an invaluable way to evaluate how well researchers are finding materials in their own library and how well library interfaces are assisting them in locating what they need. One way to assess the usability and effec- tiveness of WorldCat Local is to examine ILL requests placed by users for locally available materials when searching WCL, as ILL cancellations for local materials are often viewed as indicators of researchers’ ability to navigate resources and services at their own libraries.

      • summary: Another common use of citation analy- sis by librarians is as a measurement tool of library ownership of materials11 and for collection development.12 In this model, student citations are counted and used as a measurement of which journals and other library materials are most and least used by students, and the results are used to guide purchase or discontinuation of materials. This study measured the quality of student bibliographies through creation of a faceted taxonomy flexible and fine-grained enough to encompass the variety of online sources cited by today’s students.

      • summary: In order to be ef- fective in creating an environment of research excellence, we need to know that our research is supported by the institution in which we work, that its excellence is recognized to arise from our commitment to excel- lence.—Regna Darnell (2009)1 The practice of academic research and research leadership involves the many interconnected challenges of foundational competence, tacit knowledge gained through the experience of academic research apprenticeship, continuous learning about critical bodies of research literature, broad collegiality and net- working for research awareness and peer dialogue, beneficial research productiv- ity, and, with rare exceptions, extensive institutional investment. In passing, it might be noted that the 2010–2012 stra- tegic plan of the Canadian Association of Research Libraries (CARL), the lead- ership organization for the Canadian research library community, calls on the Association to “work to develop research skills in research libraries and to promote evidence-based librarianship”; and, more recently, CARL published a new model “Core Competencies for 21st Century CARL Librarians,” which addresses re- search and professional contributions as a key component of practitioner expertise.3 Vicki Williamson (2010) undertook an informal questionnaire survey of academ- ic librarians’ faculty status and publishing requirements within the 29 members of CARL.4

It will also support OA authors for whom cost is a barrier.7 Publishing in open access journals is commonly referred to as gold OA, in contrast to green OA, which embraces self-archiving of final peer-reviewed man- uscripts in an institutional or disciplinary repository.8 York University Libraries support both forms of OA publishing.

      • summary: Young and Ackerson30 analyzed student papers in two groups receiving different types of library instruction and noted no differ- ence in citation behavior in four out of five cases, while Hurst and Leonard31 found that those exposed to additional library instruction used and cited more library resources. However, it should be acknowledged that, although common in practice, some researchers criticize the calculation of a mean and standard deviation on data obtained from Likert type scales where initial ratings could be considered ordinal in nature, arguing that other statistical measures may be more appropriate.53 Correlations and Number of Sources Used Correlations between various character- istics of student papers are interesting to consider, but the values reported here do not appear to have much practical application.

Collection-focused activities that make use of citation data include examining print versus electronic usage to determine the impact of electronic jour- nals, compiling lists of most- and least- cited journals and local holdings to make acquisition or cancellation decisions, and examining age of cited references to help develop storage and retention policies.4 There is a gap in the literature in that there is no consolidated set of guidelines or considerations on the methodology for citation analysis studies.

Scientists and scholars are increasingly generating vast amounts of digital content in the form of learning materials, publica- tions, and research data, yet data in digital form is extremely fragile due to limited standards for and adoption of good prac- tices.19 Most academic libraries support the delivery and maintenance of text- based collections in a variety of print and digital formats, as well as the management and delivery of images, multimedia files, sound, maps, and various other artifacts of 352 College & Research Libraries July 2012 research and culture.20

      • summary: This finding supports Rowlands et al’s conclusion that, among e-book users, men are more likely to read from a screen than women.11 Con- sidering the skewed gender ratios at some institutions or in specific departments, this finding could have real significance for collection development. Recently, OnCampus Re- search surveyed U.S. college students on their use and preferences for e-textbooks, finding a strong overall preference for print books and limited uptake of e- books.4 The Joint Information Systems Committee (JISC) conducted one of the largest-scale studies of e-book use and us- ers to date, with over 20,000 subjects at 120 U.K. institutions.

      • summary: Several of the obstacles to conducting research are: reported lack of time to complete a research project, unfamiliar- ity with the research process, lack of support for research (both emotional and monetary), lack of access to research, lack of confidence, discouraging jargon, inad- equate education in research methods, and lack of motivation.7 Despite the benefits of conducting research and their desire to conduct re- search, the reasons that librarians may not conduct research are as diverse as our population. Our focus on academic librarians was also supported; Luo notes, “Academic librarians were more motivated than Academic Librarian Research 439 public librarians in pursing knowledge in research methods via continuing educa- tion, and those who engaged in research at work were more interested in continu- ing education opportunities than those who did not.”17 Institute for Research Design in Librarianship The purpose of conducting this study was to find ways in which the research- ers might support academic librarians in their efforts to conduct research and dis- seminate the results.

      • summary: Academic libraries cannot be treated as a homogenous group of institutions, and the study analyzes shifts by type, size, and Carnegie class of institution, illustrating significant difference among these classes of academic libraries, particularly among large doctoral institutions and other academic libraries, with large public and doctoral private institutions driving growth, while small and medium-sized academic libraries have fallen behind in both collections and staff investments. or decades, at professional meetings and in the profes- sional literature, librarians have voiced the view that academic library budgets are being eroded and constrained. These concerns were voiced nearly 30 years ago with the “serials crisis” and the effects that high journal prices were having on the overall fiscal capabilities of academic libraries.

Davis, Jr. (profes- sor emeritus of library history at the University of Texas at Austin) submits a succinct but intriguing view of “Interna- tional Trends in Library History,” which serves as a sort of capstone to the volume. The practice of library history is becom- ing more scholarly (and is increasingly based on primary documents) rather than merely celebratory or antiquarian.

More recently, we have seen broader acceptance in a variety of fields of the notion of “open peer review,” i.e., a peer review process in which there is greater transparency, in which the names of reviewers are made public, or in which the review process may even be “crowd- sourced.”9

      • summary: This climate of disclosure frequently extends to the active pursuit of thieves, including the willingness among libraries to press charges or to publicize the loss in an effort to recover the stolen artifact.1 Libraries have begun to engage in collaboration among themselves and with other groups, such as associations of book dealers, in producing databases and lists that are commonly disseminated online in an ef- fort to lead to the identification of stolen material and to ensure its return.2 Though library theft is being discussed more frequently as a major issue in the discipline, many elements related to theft remain poorly understood. The lack of quan- tifiable detail about library theft extends from information regarding the items that are reported missing (leaving aside the volumes and artifacts that are never discovered or publicized as stolen) to in- formation about other aspects of the theft.

      • summary: But, as laboratories and resource centers for teachers, curriculum centers have as much in common with public and school libraries as they have with the traditional scholarly academic library. Rita Kohrman of Grand Valley State University and Suzan A. Alteri of Wayne State University provide illuminating histories of the develop- ment of curriculum laboratories at normal schools (vocational schools for teacher preparation) and subsequent changes in higher education that led to a devaluation of practical teacher training and hence the closing of many CMCs.

Chapters 8–10 discuss newer devel- opments in access to library materials.

      • summary: These last two appeared as central characters in the most recent debate over faculty status for academic librarians, which played out last month around an article published in The Chronicle of Higher Education re- garding the decision to eliminate faculty appointments for new librarians at the University of Virginia and a proposal to “revoke” faculty status from librarians at East Carolina University.2 In describing the rationale behind these efforts, Karin Wittenborg, University Li- brarian at Virginia, noted that “libraries are in a time of dramatic and continuing change,” and Maureen Sullivan, the American Library Association President also serving as an organizational-de- velopment consultant to East Carolina, reminded Chronicle readers that “there is a difference between the work and role of the teaching faculty… and the work and role of librarians.”3 Few would ar- gue against either of these assertions, I The “Multihued Palette” of Academic Librarianship imagine, but it is unclear how either is related to the issue of faculty status for academic librarians, an issue that has been taken up many times in the pages of this journal.4 As Coker, vanDuinkerken, and Bales noted in our most recent entry into this discussion, the issue of the librarian’s role and status has been debated in the academy and in the profession for more than a century.5 As anyone reading their argument must conclude, the question of faculty status for librarians (whether with or without provisions for the awarding of tenure) is a complicated one.

      • summary: Specifically, lesson study is an examination of practice that challenges teachers to examine their goals for a les- son as well as student response to them. The process of lesson study involves col- laborating with fellow teachers to identify goals, plan the lesson, teach and observe the lesson, discuss findings, and revise the lesson (see figure 1).

      • summary: After a brief introduction to RDA and how it relates to FRAD, Jin provides 18 examples of brief RDA authority records, each with an explanation of how they use the FRAD concepts to describe and clarify entities and their relationships to other entities: while the structure of an RDA authority record is, at root, similar to that of an AACR2 authority record, RDA (and the FRAD structure) allows for greater levels of description and for clearer delineation of the relationships between concepts. Jin states, in her introduction, that the book is to “provide a basic explanation of the Functional Requirements for Author- ity Data (FRAD)”; she goes above and beyond this statement of principles in a clearly written, copiously illustrated, and well-organized book that truly does “demystify” FRAD and illustrates how to create authority records according to the principles thereof.

Research is viewed as multidisciplinary, completely integrated with theoretical con- cepts, and completely a part of human life; this chapter includes a nuanced parsing of theory and research in a broad variety of “research traditions.”

Discussion Self-generated vs. Imposed Information- seeking Experiences Students were asked about their in- formation-seeking experiences in both self-generated and imposed tasks for the purpose of (a) orienting them to the topic of information skills and (b) eliciting responses that could then be compared to the findings from the interviews, which focused on students’ perceptions of and experiences with information literacy.

The debate in the literature over fac- ulty status and research expectations for librarians is full of examples of obstacles that librarians face in the pursuit of scholarship.

      • summary: In the past six months I’ve had the plea- sure not only of working in a vibrant academic research library—a library that is anything but stodgy—but also of visiting, sitting, and reading in wonderful public library branches in Adams County, Pennsylvania, Worces- ter County, Maryland, and my home library system in Baltimore County, Maryland. The weakest chapters, in my opin- ion, were the ones having to do with academic libraries.

      • summary: Moreover, he noted (quoting Robert Maynard Hutchins), there was a general lack of research available on higher education and a need, given the central role of the library on campus, for a journal that would promote research into its unique challenges, its operations, and its contributions to teaching, learning, and scholarship.1 Seventy-five years later, there are still concerns about the state of research in higher education, but there are now many venues for the dissemination of such research, including research into the academic and research library.2 Indeed, the study of core journals in Library and Information Science available in this is- sue demonstrates how far we have come since Kuhlman surveyed a field providing few opportunities for the promotion and dissemination of research in academic librarianship.

      • summary: Similarly, a majority of un- dergraduate ILL users were found to have placed their requests through OpenURL link resolvers at Minnesota State Univer- sity, Mankato,25 and a significant positive correlation between institutions that had link resolvers and ILL borrowing activity was found in a large-scale recent study of academic libraries.26 Mak found an increase of ILL activity among Association of Research Libraries institutions between 1974 and 2008, and she notes the importance of self-service, discovery, and integration for effective re- source sharing: “while it would be easy to discount convenience as a driving factor, the integration of discovery and request- ing allows the user to pursue their train of thought, largely uninterrupted by the request process.”27 However, most researchers working on this topic found a positive correlation between library collections and ILL borrowing activity, indicating that the larger a library’s collec- tion size, the higher their ILL borrowing activity, a correlation which is perhaps counterintuitive.

      • summary: This policy, known as the NIH Public Access Policy, implements a section of Public Law 110-161 and states: The Director of the National Institutes of Health shall require that all investigators funded by the NIH submit or have sub- mitted for them to the National Library of Medicine’s PubMed Central an electronic version of their final, peer-reviewed manu- scripts upon acceptance for publication, to be made publicly available no later than 12 months after the official date of publication: Provided, That the NIH shall implement the public access policy in a manner consistent with copyright law.1 The rationale for this law is two-fold: 1) since NIH supported research is ulti- mately funded by the public, the public has the right to have access to the results of that research, and 2) since the NIH has an obligation to monitor and promote the research that it funds, with the primary goal of advancing science and improv- ing human health, it needs to collect and archive the publications that result from that research. We were invited to present our results to NIH staff at a summer 2009 PubMed Central meeting at the NIH, and this led to an expanded collaboration with the NIH Office of Extramural Research.

      • summary: A 2007 review of studies discussing the desired character- istics of student peer mentors in higher education found the following to be the most frequently considered descriptors: communication skills (35%); supportive- ness (30%); trustworthiness (30%); ability, willingness to commit time (26%); and Undergraduates Providing Peer Reference and Instruction 165 empathy (24%).23 Many of these overlap with the qualities that students desire in a teacher, identified in a 2009 article as enthusiasm, empathy, communicating effectively, identifying important ideas, giving good examples, and connecting material to real life.24 Peer providers who bring these quali- ties are not only able to connect material to real life, but, having gained expertise and confidence in providing reference, can model these traits in delivering in- struction. A peer can talk with students about relationship violence, parking tickets, study skills, self-advocacy, library resources, and mo- tivating a resistant student organization, in ways even the most knowledgeable professionals cannot.”2 Academic libraries would be remiss in not seeking to harness peer learning dynamics to enhance student learning and success.

      • summary: Several studies suggest the success of virtual reference services does not depend solely on the quality of the service but may also be dependent upon funding, volume of reference questions, staffing levels, hardware and software issues, and institutional culture.5 Further, many library patrons are not aware that virtual reference services are available.6 While many elements contribute to a person’s experience using a virtual refer- ence service, a significant yet often over- looked factor is the overall usability of the digital services. Fifteen participants asked questions virtually at University A, while 16 partici- pants asked virtual reference questions at University B. Questions were asked using the five virtual reference services (e-mail, telephone, online chat, text mes- saging, and online videoconferencing) as illustrated in table 1.

      • summary: Paul Wyss cites several studies that have demonstrated over the years that faculty academic librarians do not earn equivalent salaries to those of disciplinary faculty of the same rank.23 The disparity of treatment, fair or not, between librarians with faculty status and disciplinary faculty is embedded in the structure of academic institutions. Upon review of the empirical literature on the topic, Applegate stated that, while the paucity of relevant literature made it difficult to draw conclusions regarding faculty librarians’ job satisfaction versus that of nonfaculty academic librarians, librarians with faculty status may be less satisfied in key areas.38 Bruce Kingma and Gillian M. McCombs cautioned that librarians with faculty status may be less produc- tive in the areas traditionally associated with academic librarianship because their attention is necessarily diverted to other functions inside the academy.39 Also of concern is the possibility of faculty academic librarians being con- signed to what Danielle Hoggan terms “nominal” faculty status.

      • summary: For one high-profile example, the following broad recommendations emerged from the “Global Dimensions of Scholarship and Research Libraries: A Forum on the Future” that took place at Duke University in 2012: • Aggressively pursue broad digital access to international information resources; • Internationalize research library services and perspectives; • Broaden and internationalize library collaborations. The library’s specialized Slavic Reference Service, in particular, highlights the value of integrated ini- tiatives that combine collections with other services including reference and discovery.3 Another noteworthy category of research on international collections delves into the size and diversity of foreign holdings among North American research libraries.

      • summary: One early pioneer in studying library collection usage was Richard Trueswell, whose work in the 1960s identified the 80/20 rule, which was first applied to industry and warehousing, and eventually applied to libraries.7 His theory that 80 percent of the usage can be covered by 20 percent of the collection has been a standard assumption among librarians for many years. However, since there were 36 copies available in various OhioLINK libraries, the average annual per item circulation was only 3.53.

      • summary: Zhu and Simon substituted worked examples for lectures and other classroom activities in physics problem-solving among college students with promising results in knowledge acquisition.21 Owen and Sweller found that students learned solutions to algebra problems, made fewer errors, and required less time to solve test problems similar to those presented to them in worked examples.22 In follow-up studies, stu- dent performances demonstrated that the use of worked examples could substitute for extended instruction and practice in solving algebra problems.23 A review of the worked example literature concluded that worked examples “promote the type of flexible transfer that educators are seeking in their classroom[s].”24 The worked examples used in mathematics and science have been described as classical worked examples. Using typical worked examples, the students learn the descriptive elements more readily than the compositional elements, and composition, or rhetorical skills, improve through the confluence of worked examples along with other interventions.42 Improvement of those rhetorical skills appeared not to be amenable to significant change during a short exposure to worked examples.

      • summary: Library research needs to become much more open to critical theory as one part of the broad range of research approaches that can help us imagine the future of library practices. C&RL has published many excellent studies of information literacy instruction and as- sessment over the past decade, and our IS colleagues are faced with a difficult decision each year choosing one publication from the wealth of journal articles, book chapters, and books produced on this essential subject of study, but it strikes us as notable that not a single study published in C&RL has been selected for this recognition during a decade when the scholarship has blossomed under renewed focus and benefited from new methodologies for research on teaching and learning in libraries.

      • summary: Motivation is an important consideration for educa- tors because the extent that students are motivated impacts the degree to which they learn.34 Student engagement has been demonstrated to contribute to student learning as measured by the grades students receive, their general knowledge acquisition, and intellectual development more broadly.35 Much of the literature on autonomy support in educational psychology has stressed the importance for student motivation of providing students with autonomous choices and autonomous control over their learning.36 Assor, Kaplan, and Roth are somewhat unique in the current literature, however, in recognizing the importance of providing students with choices that are deemed by the students to be authentic. Exactly how to do this is a practical question of fundamental importance for library educators interested in increasing student learning.

      • summary: Finally, although outside the scope of this study, there is evidence to suggest that the same pedagogies and educational practices recommended for high school students and their development of information literacy competency would continue to benefit them into the college years. Examples of cognitive activities classified as higher order include analyzing, synthesizing, and evaluating information, constructing arguments, making comparisons, asking research questions, dealing with controversies, and identifying hidden assumptions, all of which draw directly from constructivist learning theory and relate directly to information literacy best practice.11 Several methods have been developed to assess information literacy competency, and they have been classified into the categories of fixed-choice tests, performance assessments, and rubrics.12 Most recently, the Educational Testing Service developed the iSkills assessment to measure ICT literacy.

In a study of the effect of professional development workshops on teacher-librarian collaboration, Montiel-Overall and Hernández report that the use of professional de- velopment workshops may be instrumental in affecting changes in perceptions and behaviors as they relate to teacher-librarian interaction and collaboration.21 Ercegovac suggests the fostering of more collaborative partnerships between academic librar- ians and school librarians as a means of providing information literacy instruction to in-service educators.22 Additional research is needed to study the effects of K–12 and postsecondary collaborations and the roles of academic librarians in these projects.

      • summary: Okobi’s book is divided in four sections, beginning with three chapters on the need for library services to adults, and the history and development of these types of services and programming. Many of these institutions were later absorbed by public library systems, and their impact on the development of library services for adults should not be ignored.

Taylor intentionally selected users and librarians in special library environments, where information needs are often complex and where the language of the discipline is much more structured.

      • summary: Project Infor- mation Literacy in 2010’s report Truth Be Told, while not specifically addressing library anxiety, described undergraduates’ feelings of being overwhelmed at the beginning of a research project, hearkening back, once again, to Mellon.11 Lesley Brown discussed reference librarians’ attempts to diminish library anxiety in the context of the major changes in that service by 2011.12 Eamon Tewell has recently complicated library anxiety in interesting ways, based on portrayals of libraries and library staff in two current television sitcoms, bringing in depictions of predatory staff behavior and the library’s rule-orientation, inflexibility, and political power within city government.13 Mellon’s article is still being cited for both the phenomenon and the method. The resonance I felt when I read about library anxiety was powerful: yes, I thought; this is what I’m seeing in my students, who seem over- whelmed by the library, in need of librarians’ help, yet reluctant to approach us.

      • summary: He notes that Paul Evan Peters, the found- ing executive director of the Coalition for Networked Information (CNI), significantly influenced his thinking for his 1988 article.3 As a mark of its influence, it is interesting to note that Lewis’s article was cited beginning in 1989, shortly after its appearance, by the late Peter Graham, who was highly respected for his deep analysis of research libraries and who called Lewis one of the best thinkers about libraries, and into the early 2000s, by the late, highly esteemed librarian and author Ross Atkinson.4 While much writing in scholarly journals devoted to academic libraries takes the form of empirical studies of relatively finite topics, Lewis had the reputation for looking at the big picture and expressing his thoughts on principles, trends, and changes in practice in a mode that resonated with his peers. Humanities research has continued, by and large, to be very traditional, in both methods and modes of publica- tion; however, significant pockets of innovation with digital technologies exist.

      • summary: Brian Quinn explores to what extent and to what effect academic libraries have become “McDonaldized,” according to the concept developed by sociologist George Ritzer.1 Quinn identifies a number of ways in which the four dimensions of McDonaldization—efficiency, calculability, predictability, and control (typically realized through the substitution of technology for human labor )—are evident in academic libraries. Although Quinn concedes that “there are obvious advantages in maintaining a well- organized and efficient work environment,” ultimately, he sees the “bureaucratic, Mc- Donaldized environment” characteristic of academic libraries as a form of irrationality: It is difficult to accomplish much that is innovative.

      • summary: The report served as an assessment wake-up call for libraries to move from traditional reports of outputs to reports of the measurable impact they have on their respective campuses, particularly in areas such as student retention and engagement and faculty teaching and research.7 Author Megan Oakleaf sug- gests a number of ways libraries can begin providing evidence of impact, including “[investigating] correlations between student library interactions and their GPA” and “demonstrating the library’s role in retaining students until graduation.”8 Thus, the resources included in this research project provide only a limited picture of how library resource utilization impacts student academic performance.

      • summary: This evolution in humanities scholarship emerging from the rise of digital humanities and deeper interdisciplinary orientations for humanities scholars prompt us to ask critical questions about the digital collections that frequently play a significant role in these new scholarly methodolo- gies: specifically, how effectively are digital collections meeting the research needs of scholars, and how should digital collections evolve to sustain and strengthen their value to digital humanities research? This paper presents an analysis of how humanities scholars use digital collections in their research and the ways in which digital collections could be enhanced for scholarly use.

Storage is also part of the large footprint for graduate students and a key component as they continue to prefer print formats and tend to compile large collections of print and online research materials.13 Graduate students also pay attention to the atmosphere of a space and their sur- roundings.

      • summary: This study examines how students are using academic library spaces and the role these spaces are playing in the campus community. Other researchers have found that, while in the library, students are likely to engage in both academic and social pursuits, often simultaneously.11 Academic work remains their primary activity, however; Foster found that academic vs. recreational activities happened at a ratio of 6:1 in the library, while Suarez observed that, even with their flirting, chatting, and other social endeavours, students in the library are engaged in academic work most of the time.12 Students have repeatedly indicated that they want library spaces to support both academic and social activities, and these researchers conclude that the library succeeds in fulfilling these disparate roles.

      • summary: Likewise, the entry for serendipity in the Dictionary for Library and Information Science explains that, in information retrieval, serendipity “usually depends on the ability of the browser to recognize the relevance or utility of data not actively sought at the time it is encountered.”19 While serendipity can happen anywhere, comments from library users suggest that serendipity’s occurrence in the stacks can take on a special character that goes beyond the typical delight that accompanies any happy accident.

      • summary: Anthropology students, with proper training and back- ground, conducted ethnographic studies of the library to determine their peers’ study patterns; library staff, broken into teams, conducted structured observations of library patrons, while others were part of co-design sessions, allowing various constituen- cies to articulate their thoughts on an ideal library, with the final team interviewing undergraduates, the major users of McKeldin Library. By describing the various students and task forces employed, the volume also shows what academic libraries do best—fostering the interconnectivity and interplay between various disciplines and users—no matter the condition of the building in which we work.—Harlan Greene, College of Charleston Tomas P. Mackey and Trudi E. Jacobson.

      • summary: At the University of Nevada—Reno, the library provides a maker space not simply to prototype new inventions, but also to visualize abstract mathematical concepts and to engage students in learning in a new way.16 If we focus on business spin-offs as the primary measure of academic innovation, we ignore the basic fact that the overarching mission of academic libraries, and academia in general, is not to emulate or stimulate commerce, but to foster learning and understanding. College & Research Libraries has provided a venue for many studies of innovation in academic libraries, both in terms of the application of new technologies to library practice and in terms of the expansion of academic library services into new areas that support the changing landscape of higher education.

      • flesch: 49
      • summary: The benefits of such a model for libraries are many: it is less expensive than purchasing e-book titles individually, it includes a broad range of titles by many different publishers covering many different subjects, it allows for simultaneous access by multiple users, it eliminates the need to purchase print copies of a book, and it allows for remote 24/7 access to content. It may be that academic librarians should discourage the use of subscription-based e- books as course materials and focus their attention on promoting the use of truly owned, or perpetual access, e-book titles.

      • summary: Literature Review Interest in understanding student use of academic libraries is widespread, as is the use of ethnographic and other qualitative methods to investigate student library use. It is important to understand where the needs of commuter students align with those of students who live in cam- pus housing—and where they differ—so that librarians, administrators, and faculty can effectively learn from research into student library use at residential institutions.

      • summary: The program’s transformation from a traditional one-on-one, single, long-term mentoring relationship to something more flexible and varied reflects a trend among library mentoring programs, and the University of Kansas Libraries, like many others, recognize that there is still much to discover about the best structure of a mentoring program at an academic library. Perhaps the most notable trend is that all of the interviewees val- ued their mentoring programs for the personal benefits they provided, which suggests that library mentoring programs often have positive professional effects for librarians, regardless of whether they are participating as mentees, mentors, or program facilitators.

      • summary: The Association of American Colleges and Universities (AAC&U) designated undergraduate research as a high-impact practice in 2008.3 In fact, there has been a consistent growth in undergraduate research programs across all types of institutions and disciplines, as evidenced by the expansion of the Council on Undergraduate Research (CUR), which represents the interests of faculty members, campus coordinators, provosts and deans, and students in advocacy for and development of undergraduate research programs. The survey results will aid libraries and librarians by benchmarking the current state of library services to undergraduate research programs, and will inform the next stage of our research: examining best practices and strategies for library support of undergraduate research programs.

      • summary: We believe there is something in a name, and that it is time to consider what we might do to explore what that something might be through research into professional education, changes in the faculty workforce, and the values that students and in-service professionals embrace when they choose to study and pursue a career in libraries and librarianship Let us begin by acknowledging, as Juliet does, that names, by themselves, do not define a thing. Even if the growth in enrollments, alone, was sufficient argument against any concern with the trend to embrace “information” over “libraries” in nam- ing our field, it is an argument that no longer obtains, as enrollment in these programs has seen a steep decline in recent years.7 That decline is one context within which the future of professional education must be considered, and not only in LIS; consider the situation in legal education, which has seen a similar decline in program enrollments and similar concerns about the market for recent graduates.8 Another context to consider in higher education is the growth (and role) of contingent faculty in the academy.

Humanists prefer reading print books because print books lend themselves to extended argument and deeper comprehension;19 this is supported by Levine-Clark’s findings about e-book usage among humanists being lower than among scholars in other disciplines.20 And some of the scientists show a strong preference for e-books, because e-books offer ease of reference and searchability for key terms.

The approach is informed by Scott Bennett’s model of library design, which posits a shift from a ‘book-centered’ to a technology supported ‘learning centered’ paradigm of library space.

      • summary: An online survey was developed and sent to employers to gauge perceptions of information literacy skills of college graduates and the use of the innovation of digital badges to represent competencies that students have accumulated. This lack of transfer connotes a need for translation of these skills from the academic setting to the workplace.1 Previous research on information literacy in the workplace shows that the skills valued by the American Library Association (ALA) are not exactly the same as the skills valued in the workplace.2 Being information literate is a critical factor to success in the information age, and it is necessary to include information literacy skills valued by employers into library instruction curricula for students.

      • summary: This denotes a strong working relationship between the library and these important user groups, which Adler stated was key to developing LGBTQ collections that meet the needs of users.36 In years without funding, or when development funds were spent, titles of interest to LGBTQ studies were sent to subject librarians with a request to purchase, a practice recommended by Clarke.37 Librarian requests are normally accepted by other librarians at Concordia. It should be noted that there are no plans to establish a master’s degree in LGBTQ or sexuality studies at Concordia University, but there is sufficient graduate student interest and faculty expertise in LGBTQ studies to justify a collection assessment for this level of research.

      • summary: Introduction to Personal Librarian for Aboriginal Students (PLAS) There are many initiatives related to increasing the success and engagement of Ab- original students at the University of Alberta campuses in the spirit of reconciliation as outlined in the report of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission.1 In response to the notion that undergraduate students often find the campus library and the research process intimidating, the PLAS program aims to address the way in which anxiety related to library use may act as a barrier to the success and engagement of Aboriginal students.2 Indeed, past interactions between the members of the program team and Aboriginal students have provided anecdotal evidence of library anxiety that was constant across students and across their interactions with team members, clearly echoing the findings in the limited literature on the needs of Indigenous peoples to- ward libraries.3 A program team was created to manage the operational and research aspects of the PLAS program. What is more, following Jiao and Onwuegbuzie’s recommendations, hiring Aboriginal staff in the library (even if through student positions) might also further alleviate student library anxiety and, if librarians, able to transform the libraries to make them more relevant.31 There are a number of ways in which the PLAS program contributed to the univer- sity as well as the university constituencies’ understanding of the value of the library.

Literature Review In assessing information literacy skills as learning outcomes, much literature exists that examines why and how academic librarians should establish and improve the contributions that academic libraries make toward student learning.6 Most literature on assessing students’ information literacy skills also focuses on evaluating students engaged in particular disciplines, courses, or assignments,7 prompting Hernon to ask: “Will libraries embrace broader assessment and carve out a role, or will they continue to focus on course-level assessment?”8 Far less literature exists that explicates methods for assessing simultaneously the sufficiency of multiple instructional mechanisms, both inside and outside the library’s purview, in leading students to demonstrate desired information literacy competencies.

      • summary: The project originated from conversations among the members of the Literatures in English Section discussing the need for a work to introduce subject specialists to the growing field of digital humanities and the need for a resource to help guide subject specialists in their work with faculty, students, and other librarians in creating digital humanities projects. The book is arranged in a progression starting with a general introduction to digital humanities and then looking at recommendations on beginning digital humanities projects, examples of successful initiatives, and finally concludes with individual case studies.

      • summary: Since the leadership institutes vary radically in their programming and purpose, the parts and chapters canvas a divergent collection of library types and institute goals. The authors present the unique perspective of librarians, who are support- ing faculty in measuring impact, while also potentially measuring their own scholarly output depending on the demands made on them by their institution.

In chapter 3, the authors focus, in satisfying depth, on the effort to develop a “lesson study approach” to library instruction, one that “is an itera- tive process comprising five steps that can be repeated as needed” (25).

Although a comparison of these benefits to those provided by moni- toring the social media accounts of associations is beyond the scope of the current study, preliminary insights gleaned by the author indicate that the monitoring of association social media accounts would serve to complement rather than replace the traditional mechanisms for information sharing sponsored by scholarly associations.

The data collected through survey results from fifty-one institutions can inform the strategic decisions being made by other institutions considering an open access policy and illustrates the essential roles that academic libraries can play in the development and passage of open access policies.

Survey Instrument The principal goals of the study were to determine what resources students consulted when they started their research for an assigned paper and what resources provided the majority of the information they actually used in their papers.

      • summary: Academic libraries, seeking to demonstrate their relevance in a performance-funding environment, will find little guidance on how to appropriately gather data or communicate impact to university administrators.4 Librarians working in academic libraries are eager to engage in initiatives supporting university priorities, even those that do not directly involve the library. This study examined the predictive relationship between library use by individual students and their retention status in university settings.

      • summary: To assess the impact, we examined changes in requests for locally owned or licensed materials placed as interlibrary loan requests. Discussion At the beginning of this study, we hypothesized that implementing a discovery system would affect positive change in the findability of library-owned or -licensed resources if the number of interlibrary loan requests for these resources dropped following implementation.

      • summary: Third, not only must two or more negative acts occur weekly, they must occur over a period of time—usually a six-month duration—to differentiate bullying from lower-level negativity.14 Finally, a power disparity between the perpetrator and the target is central to the definition of bullying.15 The majority of definitions for workplace bullying suggest that the target must feel unable to stop or prevent the abuse. For example, one participant wrote that “I was on the receiving end of workplace bullying in my previous job 4 years ago which directly led to my departure”; “…It took me until last year to realize that I had experienced bullying”; “…If I had been able to identify the situation correctly at the time, I would have been less of a victim.”

      • summary: The purpose of this paper was to investigate whether there are rela- tionships between first-year college students’ use of academic libraries and four academic outcomes: academic engagement, engagement in scholarly activities, academic skills development, and grade point aver- age. For instance, scholars have provided evidence for the positive associations between college students’ use of academic libraries, fall semester grade point averages, and retention from fall to spring semester.1 These benefits also extend to students’ reten- tion from their first year to their second year of enrollment and to their final first-year cumulative grade point average.2 Similar studies have revealed positive associations between the number of books students borrowed and their grade point average,3 as well as significant relationships between the number of resources held at libraries and students’ development of critical thinking skills.4

Similar to Gayton’s ideas of library space, Scott Bennett argues that, when designing learning spaces in a library, it is crucial to consider what types of behavior the design will elicit.29 Hannah Bennett’s discussion of library design, as seen through the lens of neuroscience, is intriguing and posits that library space is similar to “productive research environments” in fostering creativity and innovation.

      • summary: The Association of Research Libraries SPEC Kit 337: Print Retention Deci- sion Making noted that “Citation counts are often used as a criterion” in decisions on deselection; but no specific questions on the topic were asked in the survey of American academic libraries—and the technique barely rates a mention in the summary of re- sults—while the use of circulation data is noted in nearly all of the reports.13 She went on, however, to suggest that citation counts had a value in the deselection process independent of usage considerations and that “citation frequency can be used to supplement other measures such as faculty input and frequency of use.”

      • flesch: 54
      • summary: A 1990 paper by Sommer and Estabrook found that faculty members at four-year institutions sig- nificantly underestimated the cost of textbooks; this had considerable implications for library budgets.5 Further, in 1994, Sayles examined the collection development policies of twenty-seven college libraries and noted that the policies were often contradictory with regard to textbooks, stressing the importance of collecting based on student need while dismissing textbooks as inappropriate for the collection.6 In 2005, Hsieh and Runner conducted a survey and collection development policy analysis that probed into libraries’ practices and policies surrounding the acquisition of textbooks and leisure reading materials.7 Sixty-one percent of respondents reported 68 College & Research Libraries January 2017 that their library had specific “no textbooks” policies, citing budgetary concerns as the primary reason for avoiding the practice and, second, that purchasing textbooks was the students’ responsibility.8 Pilot projects initiated after 2005 in response to these articles and the GAO report have focused on developing textbook reserve collections and services. While broad applicability of the model warrants further investigation, academic libraries may be bet- ter able to meet patron needs by implementing open textbook reserves. s textbook prices have steadily increased, academic libraries have consid- ered what role they might play in mitigating this burdensome expense for students.

      • summary: Scholarly Communication and the Dilemma of Collective Action 195 Because journal publishers enjoy a government-created monopoly over the con- tent of their journals based on copyright law and because digital publishing enjoys economies of scale that has allowed a small number of publishers to centralize control of many of the top titles in several fields, the dominant journal publishers could be considered natural monopolies whose prices have to be regulated for the common good. Just as workers can address their dilemma of collective action by forming unions to bargain with employers, universities could join together in a united coalition to negotiate nationwide or worldwide con- tracts with journal publishers.

      • summary: Estimates of the size of the corpus of public domain books published in the United States from 1923 through 1963 have been inflated by problematic assumptions, and we should be able to correct mistaken conclusions with reasonable effort. U.S. law required compliance with certain rules for works published through most of the 20th century, and many books published in the United States during that period entered the public domain as a consequence of failure to comply with those rules.1 One of those rules, a requirement that the copyright holder for a work published between 1923 and 1963 renew the copyright of the work 28 years after it was published, was the subject of an important Copyright Office study discussed here.2 Many cite this study to suggest that 93 percent of books published in the United States during this period are in the public domain.3 Recent work by the IMLS-funded CRMS project, a HathiTrust project focused on books digitized from research libraries, found a significantly smaller percentage of public domain books for the same period, approximately 50 percent.4 The significant difference in the numbers established by these two efforts is puzzling.

It is recommended that librarians work with faculty to make them aware of students’ lack of understanding of information literacy terms and that librarians also reinforce their meaning during library instruction and in one-on-one consultations.

      • summary: In view of recent events, our libraries may become even more important on each of our campuses as pointed out by Chris Bourg, head of MIT libraries, who recently shared in an Educause talk on libraries and our role in higher education, that we may not need to save libraries, but libraries may indeed be what saves us. Reimagining the Academic Library provides both a succinct overview of the external forces that have been driving change in academic libraries for more than the past two decades as well as proposed steps academic library leaders and librarians should take to address these forces and help complete the transition to a relevant, digital 21st-century academic library.

Methods For the purposes of examining the extent to which desire for information published by individual journal titles drives ILL requests, we analyzed a report of article requests from patrons placed during the first six weeks of 2013. In a traditional collection development model, collection development librarians try to identify journal titles most likely to be of use to patrons, leaving their colleagues in interlibrary loan to meet patrons’ information needs when the library lacks access to a particular title.

In the next stage, OA papers were separated from non-OA ones using “open access” label.

Third, the ability to sur- veil students also allows institutions and content vendors to expand the use of digital rights management technologies; moreover, it creates conditions where institutions and content vendors may use student data as a bartering chip in contract negotiations.

      • summary: • By asking interviewees to assume the roles of vignette characters, vignettes can help desensitize sensitive or difficult topics (such as sexual aggression or mental illness), distance interviewees from them, and reduce the influence of socially desirable responses. According to Schoenberg and Ravdal, the storytelling nature of vignettes is relaxing, pleasant, and interesting and may reduce feelings of being overburdened by the inter- view process.17 Hughes and Huby perused the literature and identified the following practical advantages of vignettes:18 • Vignettes are less expensive and can be conducted more quickly than obser- vational studies.

      • summary: In doing so, this case study and its authors illustrate the shared responsibility for student learning in information literacy reflected in the As- sociation of College and Research Libraries in ACRL’s Framework for Information Literacy for Higher Education (hereafter ACRL Framework), which calls for librarians, teaching faculty, and administrators to collaborate more extensively: to redesign instruction sessions, assignments, courses, and even curricula; to connect information literacy with student success initiatives; to collaborate on pedagogical research and involve students themselves in that research; and to create wider conversations about student learning, the scholarship of teaching and learning, and the assessment of learning on local campuses and beyond.3 Further, our research shows that a trilateral approach to information literacy in- creases efficacy and a sense of shared responsibility for librarians, writing center staff, and course instructors in support of student research in ways traditional bilateral approaches do not. While we felt that these two strategies were important to bring our program up to date with successful first-year writing programs across the country, they did not address our two identified weaknesses in student writing with a clear and pointed sense of purpose.

Many print journals have been charging authors page charges to offset the cost of publishing.7 Shen and Björk contended that basic journal practices and elements of article publication, including peer review, have not changed appreciably.8 Because some OA journals charge a fee, despite having no print costs to cover, the practice of OA journals charging fees has opened up debate about questions of qual- ity, and whether authors are simply paying to have their work published (rather than publishing quality work).

      • summary: Librarians’ perception, on the other hand, is commonly that publishers deliberately delay e-book publications to ensure they sell copies in print.26 Part of this discrepancy might be that publishers use language that is not always clear to librarians. This could skew the data toward showing a higher percentage of e-book availability than in the industry as a whole, as they exclude publishers that are not as likely to produce e-books.

      • flesch: 37
      • summary: Using a survey and follow-up inter- views with thirteen librarians practicing critical information literacy, this paper illustrates some of the many ways that librarians incorporate this vital approach to teaching the complexities of information, as well as the potential advantages and difficulties of doing so. This call to recognize the importance of social justice to libraries and librarians’ work has gained visibility in the scholarly literature and profession as a whole since first making its appearance fifteen years ago.1 As a theory and practice, critical information literacy (critical IL) aims to understand how libraries participate in systems of oppression and find ways for librarians and students to act upon these systems.

      • summary: In fact, early exploration of open review by Kathleen Fitzpatrick and Avi Santo outlines the need for open review to be formed by each community adopting it.5 However, for purposes of this editorial, a functional definition is that OPR allows for the disclosure of author and referee identities to one another, and supports the publication of referee reports and author responses on the open web. In my view, OPR allows for and supports transparent scholarly conversations, improves and enhances collaboration and research, and exposes and alleviates problems endemic in blinded peer review processes.

      • summary: This is further evidence of a decline in contributions by USAL authors to the LIS literature and is similar to the findings of Finlay et al., which noted a decrease in librarian contributions coupled with growth in the literature overall in recent years.24 In studying the frequency of sole and coauthorship, WHW found that the number of USAL articles that were coauthored had decreased from 44.97 percent to 40.09 percent over their two studies. The National Center for Education Statistics reported that, in fall 2012, there were 26,606 librarians at 3,172 responding U.S. academic libraries (out of 3,793 U.S. academic libraries surveyed).26 These data indicate that less than 10 percent of USALs published a peer-reviewed journal article in one of the major LIS journals studied during a five-year period.

      • summary: These guidelines expected host institutions to report diversity efforts, offer residencies that were a minimum of one year in length with the possibility of a one-year extension, not consider the residency as a probationary employment period, be large enough to manage residencies effectively, include an educational component for residents, and offer residents salaries that were equivalent to starting salaries for other beginning professionals.34 Evaluation of Academic Library Residency Programs 477 Affirmative Action and Residency Programs Starting in the 1980s, library residency programs were shaped by affirmative action policies that aimed to increase the number of librarians of color in academic libraries. Brewer mentioned that the University of Delaware (1984) and the University of California at Santa Barbara (UCSB) (1985) were the first institutions to implement library residency programs with minority recruitment as a programmatic focus in the mid-1980s.39 Due to the ban on affirmative action in California, the UCSB residency program continues, but it ceased to be used as a minority recruitment tool.

      • summary: Online communities are defined as “cyberspace[s] supported by computer-based information technology, centered upon communication and interaction of participants to generate member-driven content, resulting in a relationship being built.”24 Iriberri and Leroy25 reviewed the literature and identified the following benefits of online communities for individuals: • Information exchange—access a to a wide variety of members, information, and experiences • Social support—opportunity to provide/receive support, build and maintain social ties, and bond socially and generate social action • Social interaction—opportunity to meet people and build friendships • Time and location flexibility—flexible access to the community, flexible time management, and spatial and temporal independence • Permanency—ability to edit responses, ability to archive and search messages, ability to establish permanent social presence through photographs and text, and ability to control one’s level of participation in the community Researchers in different disciplines have studied online communities with differ- ent emphases—in computer science, technology media and mechanisms is the focus; in sociology, physical versus virtual community comparisons have attracted most researchers; in management, the emphasis is on the value of user-generated content; in psychology, relationship and attachment among community members have been extensively investigated; in information systems, researchers have concentrated on development, implementations, outcomes, and applications of online communities.26 Multiple theories have also been adopted to examine online communities, such as technology acceptance model (TAM), trust theory, social cognitive theory, social capital theory, social learning theory, social network theory, commitment theory, and social influence The area of online community research most relevant to our study is the exploration of determinants for online community success.

More specifically relevant to our question, Ping Fu and Moira Fitzgerald studied the effects of ILSs on library systems and technical services staff- ing models, and especially in how systems work blends workflows between technical and user services.35 Despite evidence of convergence, we believe that librarians continue to focus their research initiatives and publishing on work that will be understood by and will be of direct benefit 1) to other librarians with similar job duties or workflows, or 2) to a 608 College & Research Libraries July 2017 much broader, generalist readership in their kind of library (academic, public, school, or other).

This study extends the literature on the subject by bringing together current views and opinions of the three populations involved to present a more comprehensive view of the challenges confronted by academia regarding teaching and student acquisition of information literacy skills.

      • summary: Nonetheless, research has shown that PK–12 teachers often lack the information literacy skills and knowledge required for their work.20 Teachers are not necessarily familiar with information literacy as a concept; they are also not prepared to teach information literacy to their students and do so inconsistently.21 Even school librar- ians, who are better versed in information literacy as a concept, lack preparation in information literacy pedagogy.22 Research has demonstrated the importance of integrating information literacy into teacher education programs.23 Lee, Reed, and Laverty explored the degree to which one teacher education program had prepared preservice teachers for teaching informa- tion literacy and found than more than half of the participants had neither acquired new skills nor felt that they had the opportunity to improve research skills in their program.24 In a survey of education majors and school media specialists, Stockham and Collins found that many education students and recent graduates were unfamiliar with information literacy terminology and concepts.25 To ameliorate this deficiency, teacher educators and librarians alike have encouraged collaboration between the two to effectively teach information literacy skills to students.26 Nonetheless, a review of the literature reveals a lack of studies that provide a direct assessment of the information literacy skills among teacher education students. Identifying ways to assess these integrated abilities will challenge librarians and campus partners to take an integrated approach to information literacy and information literacy assessment.

      • summary: Because undergraduate research experiences vary widely, graduate students may not be prepared for graduate- level research when they matriculate.2 Once in graduate school, students do not always learn the skills they need to do independent research through their coursework.3 Many faculty members assume graduate students already know how to do research, and thus do not emphasize the acquisition of research skills in their roles as teachers and advi- sors.4 Graduate students are more likely to ask for help from their professors than from librarians, but academic programs do not always provide help in acquiring the skills to perform effective literature reviews and to engage in other research activities.5 Further, graduate students bring to their programs a variety of prior experiences, career goals, Hilary Bussell is Assistant Professor and Social Sciences Librarian at The Ohio State University Librar- ies; e-mail: bussell.21@osu.edu. Graduate students often begin research tasks with a Google search and show affinity for Google Scholar as an easy-to-use and useful tool for identifying research sources.10 At the same time, graduate students report dissatisfaction with library-based research tools even as librarians have sought to improve the breadth of resources available online to their patrons.

      • summary: This study examines the relationship between library instruction and graduating students’ four-year cumulative grade point averages for the classes of 2012-2015. After normalizing the GPAs by departments to ac- count for differences in departmental grading, a two-tailed t-test indicated a statistically significant increase in GPA among graduating students who were enrolled in classes in which at least one library instruction session was held (n=1,265) over students who were enrolled in no classes with library instruction (n=115).

      • summary: Escalating cost pressures, in addition to concerns about intellectual property owner- ship, have spurred resistance against the markets and institutions of academic publish- 796 College & Research Libraries September 2018 ing from faculty and other university stakeholders.44 Examples of this resistance include faculty boycotts of Elsevier (http://www.thecostofknowledge.com), cancellations of big deal bundles with large publishers and “flipping” journals from publisher affiliation to independent open access.45 Despite these initiatives, journal costs continue to rise above inflation rates, and profit margins for large publishers remain substantially higher than most other industries.46 Scholars need journals to conduct their research and to teach students, so the demand curve for academic journals will be difficult to shift. Access to academic journals is essential for scholars to be aware of existing research and to disseminate their own findings.2 Fei Shu is a Professor at Chinese Academy of Science and Education Evaluation (CASSE), Hangzhou Dianzi University and is an Associated Researcher at École de bibliothéconomie et des sciences de l’information, Université de Montréal, e-mail: fei.shu28@gmail.com; Philippe Mongeon is a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Center for Science and Technology Studies (CWTS), Leiden University, e-mail: p.mongeon@cwts. leidenuniv.nl; Stefanie Haustein is an Assistant Professor at School of Information Studies, University of Ottawa and is an Associated Researcher at Observatoire des Sciences et des Technologies (OST), Centre Interuniversitaire de Recherche sur la Science et

      • summary: The application of lived experience research is visible in such disciplines as psychology, sociology, social work, public health, education, and among researchers seeking to understand human experience in a manner that centers and acknowledges every aspect of a subject’s life and identity.5 Boylorn argues that the utility of lived experience research is that “separate life experiences can resemble and respond to larger public and social themes, creating space for storytelling, interpreta- tion, and meaning-making.”6 We can apply lived experience research to the study of academic librarians who self-identify as persons of color as a way of understanding the human experience of being a person of color navigating a predominantly white profession.

Additionally, the design process should be undertaken with professional planners and architects and be completed with the understanding of the growing importance of communal working spaces to users and students.10 Also, in keeping with the forward-thinking trend of increased library digitization, room reservation systems should be available online and easily navigable via the main library homepage.

      • summary: The increased amount of time that instruction librarians have spent working with online students has sparked conversa- tion about the sustainability of this level of librarian involvement. The activities that the librarian was expected to perform were murky, and the teaching faculty at times had different expectations from those of the librarian.9 Drawing from different research studies, Hoffman and Ramin establish a set of best practices for interacting with online students: creating a library module open to each online student, posting the librarian’s contact information in the course, posting in a single library- specific discussion board, posting information proactively, and including visuals in discus- sion board posts.10 Kvenild and colleagues surveyed a range of librarians at an open forum of two professional conferences about the most effective communication habits of librarians in embedded courses and found similar anecdotal advice.

Based on a structured review of the existing literature about ETDs, this study identifies the CSFs that are crucial for the implementation of ETD programs.

      • summary: Transfer students may be more likely to come from underrepresented backgrounds, be older, have full-time or part-time jobs, support dependents, be financially independent, and so on, and these demographic characteristics may impact their transition to their new institution.1 If colleges and universities are not prepared to meet the needs of students who are outside the “traditional” college student profile, then transfer students may experience obstacles at their new institution. These responses indicate that, while few libraries are providing transfer student–specific services, transfer students may receive outreach through campus opportunities meant for the general student population.

      • summary: Gene Wolfson acknowl- edges much the same, stating that reading audiobooks supports the development of all four language systems -phonological, semantic, syntactic, and pragmatic -and that “audiobooks may be used …to improve fluency, expand vocabulary, activate prior knowledge, develop comprehension, and increase motivation to interact with books.”16 A common theme in research on using audiobooks for literacy skills is the idea that listening provides the same literacy skills as reading text.

      • summary: It may well seem odd to ask libraries to start paying for open access articles from eLife, but the libraries will experience savings with subscription content, which is a larger proportion of the literature, when the funders cover their share of the sponsored articles published. The proportion of the recent literature that is now open access is approaching 50 percent, to judge from a number of studies.1 In addition, the major funding agencies have open access policies in place on a global scale, while the large corporate publishers have a growing number of open access journals and hybrid options.

The introduction by editors Sara Arnold- Garza and Carissa Tomlinson of Towson University, whose A-LIST Program features in chapter 2, provides a very readable summary of the context and theory behind their choice of topic, followed by a useful breakdown of the benefits of student leadership for both students and libraries, and how each is represented by the case studies offered therein.

      • summary: With respect to the issue of undergraduates’ potential for being problematic selectors, one 530 College & Research Libraries May 2019 recent study of a PDA program for undergraduates did find that the books undergraduates requested tended not to be widely held by peer institutions,48 whereas studies of programs that were less restricted by patrons’ status have found PDA/DDA books to be held widely by peer institutions or held widely in general.49 The same study on undergraduates as selectors also reported that selections made by undergraduates appeared not to obtain as great a circulation advantage as has been reported elsewhere for less restricted programs.50 In yet another study, Purdue University’s librarians found that books requested by undergraduates tended to be subsequently checked out most frequently by other undergraduates.51 These studies raise the strong possibility that undergraduates’ PDA/DDA purchases may be qualitatively different from purchases made by faculty, graduate students, and other types of patrons, which has understandably made placing the patrons on an equal footing to selectors an issue of concern for some PDA critics.52 In light of the uncertainties recounted above, and owing to the fact that no one has yet looked into the scholarly impact of PDA books, it would seem worthwhile to examine whether books provided by vendors or publishers via approval plans or e-book packages, purchased by librarians via firm ordering, or acquired via PDA/DDA programs produce a greater schol- arly impact. As well, given the uncertainty surrounding the various types of academic library patrons as purchasers of scholarly works, it would also seem worthwhile to examine whether PDA books acquired by the various types of patrons are of commensurate interest to scholars.

The use of student reference workers, successful library instruction ses- sions, and replacing the traditional reference desk model for an appointment approach may be alternative explanations.26 On a more philosophical note, Harley, Dreger, and Knobloch commented on the role of postmodern thinking in shaping student perceptions.

To say that corporately authored, self-published works by nonprofit organizations (subfacet combination 3C4A5C) at 6.8 percent narrowly edged out similar works by both commercial entities (subfacet combina- tion 3C4A5B) at 6.2 percent, and government entities (subfacet combination 3C4A5E) at 5.3 percent provides a somewhat clearer picture of student source selection; moreover, it provides us with an easy and value-neutral means of describing subtly distinct types of material.

      • summary: Introduction Nearly 9 million students attend community colleges year-round in the United States, with a disproportionate percentage coming from underrepresented populations and more than two- thirds underprepared for higher education.1 Information literacy (IL) instruction is delivered to these students by community college librarians, and many community college librarians look to the Association of College and Research Libraries (ACRL) as a leading organization of higher education librarians in the United States for direction and guidance to inform their teaching practices. In January 2016, ACRL replaced its Information Literacy Competency Standards for Higher Education (Standards) with the Framework for Information Literacy for Higher Education (Frame- work).2 While the Framework is intended for use by all types of higher education institutions, the often remedial reading, writing, and IL skills of the vulnerable community college student population may challenge community college librarians when integrating the more advanced and theoretical Framework into their instructional work.

      • summary: Just as higher education is being torn down and rebuilt by various forces, academic libraries are be- ing transformed—and the roles that academic librarians take on, however they may be titled, must be flexible enough to adapt to these changes to continue to meet their mission. Notes 1. Since 1991 (the year the Internet went public), there have been numerous stud- ies of job postings in academic libraries examining how the positions and responsibilities and the attendant KSAs (knowledge, skills, abilities) have changed.

One of the most beneficial aspects of information technology is not just the access to in- formation itself but the fact that it gives everyone a voice (provided they have the access in terms of infrastructure and a political climate that allows civil liberties).

      • date: 2019-05-03
      • words: 7230
      • flesch: 48
      • summary: As a result of the polarizing nature of this debate, many people have come to view references to a gender wage gap with a learned sense of either bitter injustice or decided skepticism—effectively hearing only what they want to from reports about gender wage gap statistics. Of course, opponents of this view argue that the remaining unexplained difference is not the result of pay discrimination but is due instead to the inability of adjusted wage gap models to take into account every possible factor that could affect wage and differences in the way that men and women respond to labor market incentives.6 Regardless of whether or not people believe that the difference in wages between men and women is due to gender bias, there is a general consensus on the existence of sizable raw and adjusted wage gaps between men and women across almost every profession in the United States.7 Although limited in scope, prior research within the field of library science on the topic has revealed findings that differ from the general perception of the gender wage gap found in the literature.8 As suggested by such research, there is little to no gender wage gap among aca- demic librarians.

      • summary: Students whose identities higher education has traditionally marginalized may face cultural barriers in higher education, which has implications for students’ academic engagement and sense of belonging.17 Despite the prevalence of research addressing the relationship between academic outcomes and race/ethnicity and social class in the higher education literature, similar research is glaringly absent from the LIS literature, an omission that seems particularly striking in relation to scholarship about information literacy and student success. Students demonstrate their information literacy through literacy events, such as research assignments, situated within a specific cultural context,27 in which students must know “the codes used by the community and the customs and conventions in play”28 and “non-conforming students are [viewed as] ‘rejects.’”29

      • summary: Emotional intelligence became a focused area in later studies.21 Lewis reviewed what competencies were highly valued at the executive level in academic libraries; he found that there is a universality of leadership competencies across professional fields.22 Le’s study of library leaders identified five leader qualities.23 Martin surveyed how followers described positive leaders; he found seven themes for past leaders and six themes of future leader traits.24 With various lists of desirable leadership capabilities identified, there seems to be a dearth of effort in connecting them to leadership development. More important, the survey method and data analysis demonstrate a workable way for other libraries or consortia to explore leadership capabilities using a set of common vocabulary, with which they can initiate discussion on how leader- ship competencies play out among their librarians at different levels, and to provide basis for further discourse on leadership competencies and leadership experiences relevant to their own context.

He found that the number of library directors at small colleges who held advanced degrees (second master’s or doctorate) increased by the year 2000.

      • summary: Academic library discovery systems also had a higher subjective norm, which means that people who are important to the participants, such as professors, librarians, colleagues, or friends, had a bigger influence on the use of academic library discovery systems than GS. In fact, previous research studies showed that sometimes students use library resources primarily because the course instructor specifically requires them to use it.54 Since it is believed by many that libraries provide more credible and higher quality resources than GS, it is possible that people suggested using library discovery systems rather than GS.55 Participants were also more loyal to academic library discovery systems than to GS.

The use of the term “Illegal alien” in conversation or in a classification system automatically puts this group in the position of “the other” because it is contingent on the assumption that library users and/or users of LCSH are straight white men.7 Anyone who identifies as anything other than a straight white man must subsequently alter their searching 900 Perspectives 901 behavior in favor of this valorized point of view.

      • summary: Web archives are, strictly speaking, all of those willfully assembled and preserved collec- tions of web materials that no longer appear online in real time, and they enable “web history” understood by Brügger as two things: 1) studies of the web itself; and 2) studies that take something other than the web as their primary subject but incorporate web archives as sources nonetheless (15 and throughout). He writes for an audience of historians and other scholars who would seek to use web archives in their research, but the result is a work that proves richly instructive and valuable for librarians and archivists too.

      • summary: In particular, the experiences of indigenous/Native American women librarians, Latinx librarians, and women librarians of color from a broader spectrum of religious back- grounds, as well as women of color who work in school, public, and special libraries, continue to receive insufficient attention in the literature. The fifth chapter begins by noting the “constructed” nature of web archives, which are therefore “always biased to some extent” (74).

Information literacy has been widely recognized as a critical college learning outcome for decades.2 However, assessing information literacy skills has been difficult for librarians and other assessment professionals, as the conventional methods frequently focus on small samples at or within a single institution, testing knowledge of specific skills, are time intensive (rubrics), or use instruments that have not been psychometrically validated.3 Due to these concerns, instructional librarians approached the National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE) to collaborate with NSSE researchers on expanding the information literacy content in

      • summary: This suggests that some skills, such as describing information sources, metadata creation and management, and knowledge management are more likely to be considered core skills in settings other than academic libraries. These results align with earlier studies in which library directors identified instruction services as their top priority and predicted the most growth in positions related to teaching and research support, specifically instruction, instructional design, information literacy, and faculty research support.15 Indeed, in each survey since Ithaka began these studies in 2010, more than 90 percent of academic library directors have rated the statement that “the library helps undergraduates develop research, critical analysis, and information literacy skills” as important, and it is the most highly rated function in terms of importance for baccalaureate, master, and doctoral institutions.

The authors suggested six priority areas for new research in the field highlighting the impact of academic libraries on student learning and success.

      • summary: In addition to the patron privacy statement, the library also created and adopted language that library employees can use at service desks and in instructional or consultative sessions when fielding students’ questions about our collection and usage of student engagement data and personally identifying information (PII), thereby providing a greater level of transparency. Once it looked like we had sufficient partners to make the project viable, the Office of Research Compliance helped the researchers write the IRB application and ensure everything related to the study and protection of student data was in place.

      • summary: Library interaction data are being added to the Education Advisory Board’s Student Success Collaborative platform for predictive analytics, and the library is now working with the in- stitutional effectiveness office to develop, implement, and populate an analytics dashboard that matches student library interactions with user and nonuser demographic and academic information. With $39.3M in performance-based funding received by the institution in 2016–2017,4 it is easy to see that retaining even a relatively small number of students can have large financial implications for the institution as well as enhanced success for students.5 The library had already started an initiative to collect student interaction data at five ser- vice points for the primary intention of program improvement.

      • summary: We offered this assessment activity during students’ final tutoring session as a second re- flective opportunity in the hope that it would provide qualitative data to contextualize the self-efficacy surveys, but the timing alongside final research projects contributed to a weak response rate, both in terms of the quantity and quality of student writing. We hired two writing and research tutors after the course ended to serve as student research assistants for our assess- ment initiative, giving them further leadership opportunities but also including key student perspectives on the evolution of our assessment design and implementation.

      • summary: Academic libraries will vary in the support that they can reasonably offer to parent students; the unique- ness of each institutions’ financial resources, staffing levels, physical spaces, administrative considerations, as well as the needs of enrolled student-parents mean that this cannot be one-size-fits-most. For example, several had had experiences such as being older than the instructor, receiving unwanted attention while pregnant, performing emotional labor to make other students comfortable, coordinating group work with childcare, coming out as the only single mother in their program, feeling out of place and excluded in the classroom and casual conversations, and being unable to relate to peers without similar responsibilities and demands on their time.

However, O’Meara and Stromquist found that, while peer net- works provide women faculty with agency and support for career growth and satisfaction, it was limited in its ability to bring about change at departmental or organizational levels.27 Getting into the Club 679 Role of Gender in Seeking Promotion An area of increasing exploration in academia generally centers on understanding the barriers to faculty seeking promotion to full professor.28 One theme that has emerged in these examina- tions is the role of gender as a factor in pursuing the highest rank.

In an era of attention to work/life balance, the authors were interested in determining the degree to which professionals were able to separate work time from personal time.

      • summary: Indeed, MacMillan acknowledged that the journalism students in her study of student source evaluation skills may have relied on some “performativity” that prevented a precise and “objective measure” of students’ abilities to evaluate sources.46 In sum, identifying a threshold concept that underlies source evaluation skills can facilitate the development of an assessment of these skills that detects students’ masking and mimicking language. As some of the excerpts from student evaluations illustrate, evaluation accuracy is not guaranteed, even when students provide evidence of their credibility argu- ments.

      • summary: The enactment of the Data Protection Act 2012 (Act 843) is largely indicative of the recognition of the growing individual concerns of information privacy and the implications of privacy violation and data breaches for Ghana.34 Major players in the Ghanaian academic library ecosystem want individuals to have greater control over their own personal data, just as expressed in Canada35 and the United States,36 and this probably explains why, overwhelmingly, they prefer that sharing decisions about personal information, circulation records, or internet use records are done with the individual’s consent or when mandated by a court order. Finally, privacy attitudes and concerns of academic librarians were noted to align with those of university students in Ghana.

      • summary: Geoffrey Rockwell and Sean Gouglas share how mobile devices can help the general public learn more about local history, while Timothy Compeau and Robert MacDougall share the lessons they learned in designing and running two educational, history games that wove student learning about the War of 1812 with “threshold concepts” (191) about the discipline of history. It is to these very tasks—accessing, understanding, and teaching history—that Kevin Kee and Timothy Compeau, both historians, contribute Seeing the Past with Computers: Experiments with Augmented Reality and Computer Vision for History the most recent offering in the Digital Humanities Series from the University of Michigan Press. Aimed at historians and digital humanists, the volume will, nevertheless, be of interest to librarians and archivists for its explo- ration of how scholars are using physical and digital collections in new and innovative ways.

In addi- tion, this review summarizes the success of using library videos in outreach and how various audiovisual features used in videos contribute to their success.

      • summary: The RDS Team offers data support services across the entire research lifecycle, including support for finding existing data and statistics, original data collection, data analy- sis tools and methods, mapping and data visualization, and data cleaning and management.2 This support primarily takes the form of individual and group consultations, open workshops, and course-embedded sessions, with data analysis and visualization support representing the largest proportion of workshop offerings and consultation topics.3 Similarly, New York University Health Sciences Library established a data services team consisting of full-time staff and librarians who split their roles between data services and liaison duties and partner with other nonlibrary campus entities to provide workshops on not only data management but also data visualization, qualitative data analysis, data wrangling, big data analysis, and data capture.14 Likewise, the Data Services division of the Research Commons within New York University’s main Bobst Library offers a “studio” model of support for survey, statistical, GIS, and qualita- tive analysis software and finding existing data sources, in addition to data management support.15 For additional examples of academic libraries with data services support going beyond data management, see the following: Duke University Libraries Center for Data and Visualization Sciences; University of North Carolina Libraries Davis Library Research Hub; North Carolina State University Libraries Data & Visualization Services; University of Cin- cinnati Libraries Research & Data Services; University of Michigan Library Data Services.16 Literature going beyond describing data support services to include evaluation of existing services for insights to inform further development of such services remains limited, perhaps due in part to the relative newness of data services support in academic libraries.

      • summary: Such programs stand to impact Native American students on campus while increasing the need for library services for Native students. For example, the expectation that students go to college to find themselves and gain independence from their families is a distinctly White 418 College & Research Libraries May 2022 middle-class value that contradicts many Native students’ need for cultural connection and desire to give back to their communities.16 To support Native students, several scholars have argued that institutions of higher education need to adopt culturally responsive education practices that further the goals of Native American sovereignty, self-determination, and nation building.17 Building on Critical Race Theory, Brayboy proposed a Tribal Critical Race Theory (TribalCrit), which outlines cen- tral tenets of a framework to address Native Americans’ complex relationship to the United States government and society.18 Based on the primary tenet that “colonization is endemic to society,” TribalCrit articulates eight additional tenets addressing issues such as imperialism, White supremacy, sovereignty, assimilation, liminality, cultural knowledge, and tradition.19 As such, TribalCrit can provide a useful lens for understanding and addressing issues facing Native American students in higher education.

      • summary: However, student reports of engagement with data practices, together with proxy evidence regarding three data practices (that is, ob- taining data, analyzing data, creating visualizations), supports the assertion that data literacy is an integral component of undergraduate research. In addition, institutionwide assessments of data practices are challenging because of varied disciplinary approaches to data.

      • date: 2022-05-02
      • words: 9403
      • flesch: 51
      • summary: One of the key findings from the 2018 survey was the negative correlation between student library visits and their GPA, although students’ use of library resources (such as journal articles and databases) was positively associated with their GPA.1 This finding is contrary to the earlier studies indicat- ing that students’ library visits were positively associated with students’ academic success.2 However, given that correlation does not guarantee causation, it is not easy to clearly explain this negative relationship. In more recent years, the literature pertaining to academic libraries’ contribu- tions to academic success (GPA) are steadily increasing such as Ula Gaha, Suzanne Hinnefeld, and Catherine Pellegrino’s study examining the correlations between library instruction and GPA;6 Tiffany LeMaistre, Qingmin Shi, and Sandip Thanki’s investigation of the relationship between library online resource use and GPA;7 and Francesca Marineo and Qingmin Shi’s examination of the relationships between library use sessions and GPA.8 Given that GPA has been widely used in various fields as a quantifiable indicator of student academic success and learning (for instance, in Psychology, Educational Psychol- ogy, and Library and Information Sciences), it is very important to have empirical evidence demonstrating that academic libraries have a positive impact on students’ academic success using GPA.

      • summary: Similarly, Bowles-Terry’s 2012 study concluded that GPA was higher among graduating seniors who had library in- struction in upper-level courses and that student success indicators reflect positive correlation with library instruction when students engage in library instruction sessions throughout their college years.14 In a 2012 study by librarians at Middle Tennessee State University, library instruction was the focus and was compared with student GPA and retention. Data for students who attended library instruction was anonymized and compared to the same data points for students who were enrolled in the English class but did not attend library instruction.

As the largest group of any university community, students have experiences and perspectives that are significant to the institution’s history, yet the documentation of student groups is sparse.

Unlike librarians, students do not have a mental model of research that includes subject research guides;2 and, even when students do think of research guides, they often have dramatically different ideas of how those guides should be organized.3 Students expect subject guides to contain subject-specific material, not general content such as links to the catalog or general- ized citation information.4

      • summary: It then analyzes the level of concentration of journal usage across institutions and publishers based on the three distinct indicators and measures the overlap of core journals between universities. This is in part due to the larger number of journals in those disciplines, but it is also influenced by the greater diversity of paradigms and methodologies in those disciplines.49 It also shows that, surprisingly, smaller universities have a higher proportion of core journals, which suggests a more even usage of resources than larger universities, in which a larger body of researchers might work on similar topics, thus concentrating journal usage.

As we explored these questions, our objectives were to: • Measure sexual harassment experiences qualitatively and quantitatively, including types of behaviors experienced and user categories of those who exhibit behaviors • Measure opinions of library staff regarding institutional support around sexual harassment • Produce policy and training recommendations for UC Libraries based on our findings We hoped that by sharing the results of our study, we could begin systemwide conversa- tions about how to address sexual harassment of UC Libraries staff members.

Additionally, best practices have yet to be established for the specific communication channels to use when faced with varying crises, and there are few best practices for crisis communication specific to academic libraries.

      • summary: Using Michael G. Moore’s three relational distances existing in the online environment—“teacher-student,” “student-student,” “student-course content”—the authors added two areas—”instructor-librarian” and “student-librarian”—that can close the transactional distance in online courses. This is reflected in the literature that covers undergraduate25 and graduate students.26 Notably, the literature high- lights the need to look at the role of the librarian in online courses, how students interact with librarians, and assessment of this practice in various contexts.27 Alverson et al. focus on the need for authentic assessment of student work to determine the impact of embedded librarian- ship on student learning.28 Further, the need to look at this practice “particularly examining the student interactions with content (instructional materials), librarian, and fellow students for their information literacy needs” was raised by Heathcock.29 374 College & Research Libraries May 2021 To reduce TD, the literature encourages the instructor to consider four types of interac- tion: “student-student,” “student-content,” “student-instructor,” “student-interface (course structure).”

Hindmarch-Watson shares evidence of telecommunications workers both fomenting and undermining these defiant acts.

Current library science students are advised to prepare for the job market through extensive research, both passive and active—for example, reading job ads regularly, both as a guide to choosing coursework and as a way to ground school-ish classroom experiences (14).

      • summary: It makes us think about what core competencies LIS students should acquire to prepare for ongoing transitions as well as incoming challenges. However, the topics under the umbrella of librarians’ core competencies are nothing novel; they have been deeply rooted in the historical discourse in library science core curriculum for nearly a century.7 In the late twentieth century, although there had existed several library science school standards and curriculum guidelines put forward by organi- zations such as The International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA) and American Library Association (ALA),8 almost no consensus had been reached on the core curricula or accreditation standards due to two facts: first, the dynamic sociotechnical environ- ment made the core competencies changeable; second, without any mechanism to ensure that consensus would be broadly accepted and applied, agreements on core competencies failed to make a difference in practice.9 For instance, ALA’s Standards for Accreditation 1972 was only a passing reference without any elaboration or enforcement.10 Consequently, library schools nationwide were still developing curricula on their own.11 ALA started to specify core competencies for graduates of ALA-accredited programs in the late 1990s.

Xiang Li and Tang Li* A content analysis of 62 job postings for East Asian studies librarians in the United States and Canada during 2008–2019 demonstrates that major job responsibilities have expanded to include collection development and management, reference and research assistance, instruction, liaison work, and outreach; relationship building and collaboration are emerging roles; skills and abilities have been progressively occupying a larger proportion than knowledge and experience in the required qualifications; top frequently required abilities and skills are generic and behavioral; and professional experiences are often preferred rather than required.

They note that both faculty and librarians come with inaccurate assumptions: faculty incorrectly assume student skill level and librarians incorrectly assume what IL instruction should entail.18 The faculty librarian collaboration model is the gold standard for most teaching librarians, yet it is one many have difficulty executing.

This is explicitly illustrated when Katz describes the financial relationship between early AI practitioners (academics in higher education) and the Pentagon and how this cemented AI’s role as a tool for American military and industry.

By limiting the scope of the text to engagement with design strategies and their interpretation by map readers, this volume generally steers clear of po- litical questions related to the selective inclusion and labeling of geographic features, as well as the human costs of colonial occupations and wars enabled by maps (with the exception of American soldiers memorialized through battlefield tourism in the final chapter).

      • summary: In 2012, a major report from Research Libraries UK identified skills gaps in nine key areas.21 A more recent work that focused on transitioning library services to support scholarly communication noted, “To successfully address the current needs of a forward-thinking faculty, the academic library needs to place scholarly communication competencies in the toolkit of every librarian who has a role interacting with subject faculty.”22 Another description of these changing requirements is that of “the librarian with more”: that is, one who combines traditional library skills with added knowledge of working with and manipulating data.23 There have been numerous attempts to define the competencies required of library staff working within the area of scholarly communication, including bibliometric work,24 research data management,25 and scholarly publishing and repository services.26 More broadly, this area has been addressed through the development of lists of scholarly communication competencies by major library and information science (LIS) organizations: for example, the Association of College and Research Libraries (ACRL),27 Confederation of Open Access Repositories,28 and NASIG (formerly the North American Serials Interest Group, Inc.).29 Australian Library and Information Association (ALIA), in their foundation knowledge and skills recommendations, has only explicitly mentioned scholarly communication since December 2020.30 Scholarly Communication Competencies 969 To support research and scholarly communication, librarians need to be equipped with scholarly communication competencies.31 While it would be useful if an introduction to these were provided as a part of the formal education and training of librarians, a 2017 UK study of the background of people working in scholarly communication showed that most of these skills were obtained on the job.32 A 2019 literature review by Jaya Raju stated there was “compelling evidence to suggest that LIS schools globally are falling short of meeting academic library knowledge and skills requirements in the fast-evolving area of scholarly communication.

      • summary: Mary Cassner, Charlene Maxey-Harris, and Toni Anaya (2011) reviewed ARL library accessibility webpages, discussing the located content of these pages under the headings of general features, services, staffing, facilities, and assistive technology.18 Stephanie Graves and Elizabeth German (2018) had a more narrow focus than the prior two studies, looking solely at whether these pages provided information on library instruction content, including the physical and technical accessibility of library classrooms.19 K.T.L. Vaughan and Stefanie Warlick (2020) went broader again, reviewing accessibility web- pages for the presences of 12 specific content types: statement, campus contact, library contact, AT lab, book/article retrieval, building information, computers and equipment, research help, study rooms, circulation help, resource inks, and video captioning.20 All four studies found that the presence of information within the defined categories was limited. The participants’ responses provided an expanded view into what information accessibility pages could contain to more fully support students with disabilities, including those with invisible disabilities, such as attention deficit hyperactiv- ity disorder (ADHD) and depression, which are some of the more prevalent disabilities within the university student population.5 Armed with insights from that study, and a hope that ARL libraries may have expanded their accessibility webpages in recent years, this study located and analyzed ARL libraries’ *

      • summary: ”24 Another main challenge of library-press collaboration lies in their different financial operations: university press is a revenue-generating organization, whereas library operates on “subsidized, expenditure-based budget”;25 therefore, library sometimes does not fully understand press’s revenue-driven operations to maintain its financial viability.26 Limitations of Current Literature The literature review demonstrates that the majority of these articles were written by stake- holders either from libraries or university presses and have covered a relatively comprehensive range of the topics on the library-press collaborations. This study collects 23 news articles on the collaboration between university presses and academic libraries from the formal news sites of the affiliated institutions and then conducts content analysis on these articles, focusing on their content coverage and purposes.

      • summary: Although the ACRL’s Standards for Libraries in Higher Education includes academic integrity support as a key professional value, external perceptions of the librarian’s role in its instruc- tion vary.20 While some faculty view collaboration with librarians as important to academic integrity instruction,21 Ard and Ard’s faculty survey on library roles revealed that “educating students about plagiarism” and “teaching citation styles” were ranked low among the library’s perceived responsibilities.22 The ubiquitous availability of online materials and many new types of materials has made citing sources more challenging.23 In his 2014 study, Kargbo found that 62.1 percent of undergraduates were not confident in their ability to cite sources correctly and that even those who considered themselves confident often produced inconsistent references.24 This grow- ing complexity of source types may be one of the reasons libraries are fielding an increase in student citation questions.25 Another may be the unique position libraries have in students’ academic life. What is the faculty perspective on student citation skills?

Lo worked specifically with a cohort of students in a low-residency doctoral program.21 PL programs share many characteristics and goals with embedded librarian programs; like personal librarians, embedded librarians typically aim to reduce library anxiety and improve students’ information literacy skills,22 while amplifying the role of the library in academic success.23 Since each personal or embedded librarian program is unique in order to meet specific institutional and academic imperatives, and there appears to be no standard definition of personal or embedded librarianship, the choice of terminology is relatively flex- ible.

      • summary: After preliminary analyses, qualitative data were then gathered through focus groups to provide more robust insight into quantitative findings.36 Using this method, the study underwent an iterative process of refinement and reflection for including the lived experience into the assessment.37 Nitecki and Simpson’s theoretical framework for library spaces also guided this study, which posits that the higher education context and physical design of the built environment influences the individual student.38 The built environment, by satisfying psychological needs and promoting productivity and focus, can influence individual behaviors and cognitive functioning.39 Ultimately, for an informal learning space to be successful, it must satisfy the affective and emotional conditions in which learning can occur. Understanding core contributions of academic library spaces is more important than establishing its users’ satisfaction; within higher education learning organizations, a task hi- erarchy is explicit, and fostering environments in which students can best engage with their coursework should be perceived as the main priority.

Support for higher-order thinking skills are also clearly present in contemporary information literacy instruction models, such as metaliteracy and the CILIP (Chartered Institute of Library and Information Professionals) information literacy definition developed in 2018.18 While support for teaching critical thinking skills in library instruction has grown, the relationship between information literacy and critical thinking remains unclear.

For example, the opening chapter by Chris Andersen gives a history of the Native American and Indigenous Studies Association (NAISA), and the tension between support for Indigenous studies from NAISA and from the institutions where NAISA members are employed.

However, a chapter new to this edition, “When to Call the Police,” dealing with patron privacy and requests from law enforcement, at least hints at societal conflicts that may sometimes personally affect library workers and the library community.

      • summary: As a result, derivative conditions can be manipulated and turned to the profit of racial capitalism itself as “categories of social difference function…as wagers on the economic value of their underliers and as means of structuring risk for capital” (7). More specific to librarians is Beller’s contention that the business-as- usual of racial capitalism and the world computer are insufficient for survival and revolution.

Earhart contends that digital Black Atlantic scholarship could be all for naught if the Book Reviews 159 archival sources and/or rare literary texts are not accurately evaluated, described, and docu- mented.

      • words: 10473
      • flesch: 35
      • summary: Although the current term of choice is collections diversity, concerns with how to rep- resent diverse voices have deep roots in the practice of collection management, and, in some cases, there are codified methods intended to promote the collection of opposing views on controversial ideas.2 The themes in the LIS literature show a general evolution from the idea of collection diversity supporting intellectual freedom and anticensorship to more contempo- rary discussions that tend to focus on the characteristics of authors included in collections.3 Changing social and political climates during the last four decades have likely contributed to this shift, as well as the recognition that factors beyond materials acquisition (such as who is considered a legitimate knowledge producer and trends in higher education and the publish- ing market4) both contribute to and constrain collection development. In their review, only a handful of pub- lications covered the practical issues of collections diversity, such as descriptive metadata and collection assessment, while the majority of publications focused on workforce diver- sity.6 As of July 2020, there were few additions to this body of literature, with the majority of publications focusing on particular topics of diversity, such as race and ethnicity,7 LGBTQ representation,8 Indigenous knowledge and tribal libraries,9 or the role of special collections in addressing diversity.10 Although a systematic approach to conceptualizing and measuring diversity is necessary for managing library collections, there are few examples beyond a handful of studies in the 168 College & Research Libraries March 2022 1980s and 1990s that applied statistical measures of diversity to materials selection and collec- tion

For example, one Morehouse interviewee shared that “people who get on certain [student group] boards or positions feel like they have to like hide parts of who they are,” whereas later, when asked what advice they would provide to incoming students, the same participant said, “Morehouse is a place where you can be comfortable in your sexuality and your queerness in general.” Others expressed a sense of pressure to conform to the ideal of the “Spelman Woman” and “Morehouse Man.”

      • summary: Some library workers marvel at new job titles like ‘com- munity engagement librarian’ and wonder, ‘Isn’t that what we’ve been doing all along?’ (xxiii) Book Reviews 339 The anthology of 12 contributed essays proceeds to answer the question posed, explaining the difference between community engagement as a discrete concept and the sorts of positive community relations that a library should always already pursue. While library practice is often concerned with playing a positive role in community members’ lives, sustaining and nurturing the formation of healthy social bonds and promoting information literacy and knowledge creation, community engagement is a discrete concept that denotes giving com- munity members a more active voice in determining what those library processes look like.

      • summary: This is a broader story of a neoliberal urban development playbook that persists across locales: cities recruit largely white tech start-ups through tax incentives, real estate developers advancing gentrification create spaces that appeal to those workers, and— finally—public service institutions are recast in tech’s image, charged with remaking the city’s populace into entrepreneurs fit to compete in the information economy. Draw- ing on ethnographic fieldwork conducted between 2012 and 2015 at three organizations—a tech start-up, a public library, and a charter school—he tells a story of public institutions adapting to dwindling state investment by embracing simplistic technological solutions to inequality, even when those who staff them seemingly know better.

The deep theoretical work of Urgent Archives is grounded throughout by descrip- tions of actual and potential ways that community archives constitute profoundly important sites of liberation.

      • summary: With the third edition of The One-Shot Library Instruction Survival Guide, Heidi Buchanan and Beth McDonough, both research and instruction li- brarians at Western Carolina University, have provided LIS students and early-career librarians with a concise and useful handbook for the creation of successful information literacy instruction sessions. Acknowledging but not engaging in the debate over the value of the “one-shot” instruction section versus credit courses or content embedded in the curriculum, the authors note that the one-shot “remains the reality for most libraries” (2) and recognize that new instruction librarians need guidance in designing what is likely to make up a large percentage of their instructional respon- sibilities.

      • summary: There are already so many assumptions and expectations that academic structures cause women of color to contort into, that care structures—when functioning in unequal affective economies—can further complicate. Kyle Powys Whyte explains that linear time is what westerners are most familiar with, unfolding in uniform, sequential units; whereas kinship time is felt through shifts in relationships of mutual care and requires taking responsibility for others (2021, p. 42).

      • summary: In more specific instances of white settler colonialism, Indigenous scholars Sandra Littletree, Miranda Belarde-Lewis, and Marisa Elena Duarte remind us that: “Indigenous peoples are also told that unless their ways of knowing can be codi- fied as a form of property—with private property and the commons being the operational standard of nearly all laws under modern nation-state forms of sov- ereignty—they cannot be protected by authorized legislative and judicial bodies” (2020, 412–413). This allows white settlers to make claims of indigene- ity to the land and everyone else then becomes foreign or other (Patrick Wolfe, 2006).

      • summary: Information literacy teaching, a form of gendered, affective labor that facilitates the develop- ment of students’ academic skills and subjectivities, serves to reproduce the academy itself.72 Librarians are nonetheless challenged in their efforts to embed information literacy into the curriculum because it is commonly seen as remedial or transactional, a service carried out for the benefit of both the teaching faculty and students.73 Supporting the institution’s educa- tional mission is demonstrated through processes of counting and accounting that focus on information literacy events as statistics (classes, consultations, reference transactions) rather than student learning or engagement. Neoliberal practices also leverage affect to produce and reinforce desired behaviors and subjectivities; in the neoliberal university workplace, these include flexibility, lifelong learning, entrepreneurialism, and a willingness to accept work intensification.103 Similarly, diversity as liberal multiculturalism draws on an affective technol- ogy of happiness to assuage white guilt and obscure the persistent whiteness of institutions such as universities, while diversity as self-work echoes neoliberal technologies of affect.104 Affect has recently been invoked to theorize issues central to information literacy and diversity work, including affective labor, resistance, and antiracist pedagogy.

      • summary: This certainly impacts my work as an academic librarian who provides information literacy instruction and has responsibilities in outreach and engage- ment. Librarians regularly express the need to be further integrated into courses to better teach information literacy skills and to scaffold information literacy across the curriculum.34 Likewise, centering student feedback can foster reflection on how to reform their instruction to better serve the needs of their students, including consider- ing delivering information literacy instruction through a lens of information privilege.

      • summary: By reimagining professionalism with a feminist and intersectional lens, the author concludes that destigmatizing gender stereotypes in imposed flexibility and embracing practices of autonomous flexibility in one-shots are key for library instructors and administrators to advance both workplace and student equity. Specifically, imposed flexibility is to accommodate the schedule, content, and pedagogy needs of teaching faculty due to asymmetrical power dynamics between librarians and teaching faculty40 or that between librarians and administrators’ or institutional need of efficiency, but librarians need autonomous flexibility to determine the means and amount of instructional labor.

      • summary: As Nel Noddings states, “time spent on building a relation of care and trust is not time wasted,” so whatever time we have, however brief, is best used in relational connection.20 Joan Piorkowski and Erika Scheurer’s article on devel- opmental writing students highlighted how brief interactions with professors can be “caring encounters that spur motivation” and note that these demonstrations of care do not need to 810 College & Research Libraries September 2022 be elaborate.21 Rather, the professor or instructor shows that they are relationally available to students and establishes a foundation of care through their small actions or suggestions. However, there are one-shot classes or workshops that leave us, as librarians, feeling connected to students and faculty, deeply moved by the learning that has happened in the last hour or two (and in the hours of planning before the class even occurs).

Focusing our instructional energies and intentions on student learning rather than librar- ians’ teaching frees us from defining our instructional impact with basic metrics and allows us to work toward curriculum-integrated programs in which we are positioned as facilitators rather than the keepers of information literacy.

      • summary: But, as we see with discussions about neutrality, this “common sense” approach does not factor in information systems that “inflict structural violence on BIPOC,” nor does it acknowledge the motivations behind any other form of epistemic injustice.5 It also doesn’t account for research around “sticky” information, which sometimes sticks around even after being corrected because it’s linked in people’s heads with other information they know to be true or because it provides them with a sense of safety or because it is a norm within social groups.6 As discussed by Maura Seale in relation to information literacy practices informed by the Standards, this “mechanistic” and “simplistic” view of how someone becomes infor- mation-literate is also “positivist” in its disregard of the means of knowledge production.7 Positivism approaches the world by observing it and reducing complexities in the attempt to identify universal patterns without acknowledging the social construction of knowledge.8 From this positivistic, mechanistic perspective, becoming information literate should then be “procedural,” as scripted and carefully controlled as many of our one-shots. Or, to frame this within the vaccine metaphor and in terms of corresponding learning implications, students given the “one shot” of information literacy frequently fail to apply what they have learned to new information literacy situations in ways that demonstrate they have been able to transfer knowledge.

      • summary: As Brunsdon notes in the Introduction, this collection “does not propose that Hall’s media analyses can be digested to produce a one-size-fits-all method that can now be applied” across form, time, and context (7). Further, Hall’s analyses (particularly in Part One) feel instantly relevant to those most foundational (and, indeed, still contested) questions of curation, archiving, and cataloging— what these seemingly straightforward practices of collection, description, and ordering do to the objects they handle, and how they impart and transform the meaning of these objects in ways that have much to do with the social order at the moments of both collection and representation to an audience or user.

      • summary: Disembedding background work through the homogenization of diverse library work not only makes the financial differences among various tasks invisible, but essentially eliminates the ability to communicate the diversity of library work to stakeholders. Such delineations do not accurately correspond to work tasks or exempt status for the purpose of salaries; furthermore, we believe these delineations further contribute to class segregation in library work.

      • summary: (151) Firmly believing re-envisioning the relationship between institutional policies and private collections holds possibilities for redefining broader cultural values (that is to say that better understanding and acceptance of the fringe areas—Anarchist/occult leanings—at which these poets and their work operate might lead to direct societal change across-the-board—away from current capitalist, neoliberal global hegemony), Kinniburgh doesn’t shy away from acknowledging her com- mitment to elevating the political and social aspects at play within her research: the crux of my argument: that poets’ libraries are not just book collections but are rather a distinctive type of archival collection that reflects a poetics of information. As a former archivist and rare book librarian at New York Public Library, and now rare book dealer and small press publisher with Granary Books, she has witnessed how “institutional practices shape our expectations of the use and value of poets’ libraries, just as they shape our understanding of the archival materials and research collections that they house.”

      • summary: T h e r e should always be opportunities for superior li- brarians who have obtained their equip- ment through experience to become university librarians, and even for trans- fers from other fields if special, uncommon qualities are desired or if the library pro- fession cannot interest and train just those whom the universities want. I would urge emphasis for university librarians on the extension of reference work into periodicals, society publications, documents and particularly printed bibliographies, while in cataloging it might well be explained even to be- ginners that our card catalogs were just the best available present device for mak- ing known the contents of libraries; that for large scholarly libraries there were valid criticisms against the dictionary card catalog on the score both of its complexity in use and of its cost; that much subject work is likely in the future to be done through reference to printed bibliogra- phies; that the rapidly developing arts of photography and cheap mechanical repro- duction may within the professional lives of our students bring back the printed catalog in new forms, with cards necessary only for supplements; that classifications, particularly in the biological and physical sciences and in what some optimistically call the social sciences, being concerned with the literature as it now exists, must go out of date, become inadequate, as that literature, geared as it is to the sub- ject matter and its treatment, changes.

      • summary: Having pointed out what I have come to look upon as a serious problem in the recruiting of library school students who wish to go into university library work, I must hasten to add that I do not mean to classify all students who have to work their way through college as mediocre, though I think the student who is entirely selfdependent suffers a serious handicap in getting the kind of education he needs to make a successful career in university li- brary work. i s , in my opinion, does not necessarily indicate a need for more atten- tion to library school training for such positions, but rather to the need of ( I ) bringing into university library work peo- ple of a higher level of ability with a better and different kind of general education, ( 2 ) thorough professional training for the entire professional staff, and ( 3 ) more op- portunity for intensive experience in posi- tions of some responsibility in various departments of the library.

      • summary: In fact, it would be more logical from this angle to select university librarians from among those scholars on the faculty who have already shown their skill as teachers and writers rather than from technically trained librarians. W e seem to be agreed, in the second place, that these demands are not entirely uniform in all universities; that certain qualifications will inevitably weigh more heavily in certain appointments than in others; that, within limits, the resultant multiplicity and variety of gifts and points of view are valuable to the profession ; that in practice, there seems to be no straight and narrow way leading directly from the cradle to a position as university librarian ; and that it is therefore exceedingly difficult —impossible, in fact—to outline in detail a program of training which is universally and necessarily the best for all prospective university librarians.

Library buildings, like busi- ness buildings, should be designed to last for, say, twenty or twenty-five years, mak- ing way at the end of that time for new buildings, adapted to the changed require- ments of the new day.

      • summary: NEEDED improvements and develop-ments in junior college libraries and library services which it seems to me are reasonable to look forward to in the next two or three years may be considered un- der the following heads: development of library consciousness on the part of ad- ministrators, compilation of information on junior college libraries, improvement of book collections, improvement of periodi- cals, greater emphasis on library service, better library tools, increased recognition of staff, evaluation of libraries, and organi- zation of a library section in the American Association of Junior Colleges. Since devising this scale, I have fre- quently wondered whether it would be desirable to construct a similar scale for the evaluation of the periodical collections of junior college libraries, not only as an evaluative instrument but as a suggestive guide for periodical subscriptions as well.

Neither is the original and greater part of the cata- loging of the Library of Congress coopera- tive, although it is surely centralized, since it is done centrally and, through the Card Division of the library, is made available to thousands of libraries to be used in their catalogs.

      • summary: T h e books produced in western Germany betray scarcely a new idea for some decades after 1450, but then the new humanism appears at Leipzig, particularly in the writings of Conrad Celtes, w h o — to tell the truth—was a pedant, and at Basel, where the new learning appeared in force with Sebastian Brant's Ship of Fools and a little later with the scholarly work of Erasmus, in the years when he lived with and acted as corrector of the press for Froben. T h e r e is, of course, a simpler, I will not say a more practical, form of bibliography which is necessary to all scientific workers.

This would include special consideration of rural library service, with particular attention to those areas containing one third of the total popu- lation of the country, now entirely without public library service, as well as those areas with nominal, though inadequate, service, estimated to contain an additional one third of the entire population. 2.

      • summary: In- stead, the requirement if given simply asks that evidence of library use be shown or that a record of library use be kept, or, most vague of all, that use by faculty and students be considered. Specifically library factors will operate in only a secondary capacity to affect the extent of library use and two of these have already been considered.

      • summary: in New England held meetings looking to unified effort ;98 North Carolina, Duke, and Tulane pursued their concerted plan for acquiring Spanish-American materials ;99 North Carolina worked with the Library of Congress on legislative journals ;100 co­ ordination was being perfected in the Atlanta-Athens district in Georgia ;101 and theN ashville project was housed in the new Joint University Library building. Mrs. Byers' statement, then, should cer­ tainly influence our long-time planning, but Theodore Norton, librarian of Lafay­ ette College Library, in School and So­ ciety in 1936, under the title The College Library and College Teaching, has given us a sound recipe for immediate dividends from our efforts: Guarantee to the under­ graduate good teachers and the good teach­ ers will see that the undergraduates make effective use of the book collection.
