     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: From the administrative standpoint one person in the university, namely, the di- rector of libraries, is now responsible for the conduct of library service. The university librarian urged that the funds available for these two positions be utilized to secure one individual to take charge of both dental and pharmacy libraries, that the pharmacy cata- loger assume responsibility for dental library cataloging as well, and that the balance of the money available be used for a clerk- typist to assist the cataloger.

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.

It was felt by the writer that a census of such collections might be of value to scholars as well as to libraries not wishing to dupli- cate holdings in nearby academic institutions.

     summary: It was pro- posed to bring the library into closer rela- tionship with the students, the faculty, and the teaching program ; to support the cur- riculum in more than a passive way with a collection of books; to interpret our liter- ature with active devices, illuminating, as it were, the neglected corners of the shelves, filling the gaps through good book selection, and making the books more approachable to the student and the extracurricular reader. In shelving our fiction alphabetically by author without book number, long call numbers were dropped, such as PZ 3.G7876 Pr2, for Robert Graves' Proceed~ Sergeant Lamb.

     summary: None of these recommendations would im- pair the sovereignty of each institution or city over its library, hence, up to this point the plan fails to come to grips with the cen- tral problem of library coordination in this country, which is the independence of libraries one from another and their dependence on larger organizations. It deals with a situation interesting in itself, and which epitomizes larger and more diversified groups of libraries.

     summary: Undoubtedly the clearest explanation of the principles of bibliographical citation was outlined by J. F. Fulton1 in his excellent ·paper on this very subject. T HE LITERATURE regarding the principles of bibliographical citation is quite ex­ tensive, and it is not the purpose of this paper to repeat what has already been stated but to make an attempt to clarify some of the precepts regarding this very important prob­ lem.

     summary: Ancient and out-of-date maps will assume a new importance in his concep­ tion of history, and the present world conflict, with its inevitable geographic upheavals, will be seen as merely another chapter in Mr. Wroth's story, which is the very ancient, uni­ versal struggle for world conquest, the history of which can best be understood by means of maps and charts. As the story unfolds we learn how rumor was followed by exploration, which in turn led to maps and charts, crude and distorted at · first, subjects of bitter con­ troversies and disastrous voyages, until grad­ ually the facts were sifted to form the basis of accurate documents on which navigators and potentates could depend.

     summary: Brief reviews of the establishment and mean­ ing of the university centers led quickly to discussions of research work done in the South, the relative strength of supporting university libraries, the wasteful duplication of acquisitions and unwise competition, and, ultimately, the inadequate financial support of college and university libraries within the region. For their significant contribution to higher education in the South, Philip G. Davidson; dean · of the Graduate School of Vanderbilt University, and A. F. Kuhlman, director, · Joint University Libraries, deserve the sin­ cere thanks of educators throughout the na­ tion.

     summary: The British dominions are a magnificent field for British books, but the tour of British publishers through Canada in 1943 showed not only that British editions were difficult-and in many cases impossible-to obtain but that the small type and wartime format forced upon publishers by present conditions had op- erated adversely to England and in favor of books published in the U njted States. Even no~ many books are being pub- lished and many plans are being laid for the immediate resumption of a free and vigorous publishing campaign as soon as postwar conditions will allow it.

     summary: I am sure none of us want-s to slide into that group deliberately if we can help it. 3· A library, when it finds that it cannot continue to keep up with its previous rate of growth, instead of trying to cover all its present fields might, for part of its work, fall back on interlibrary loan; on sending many of its ad- vanced students to other libraries to find their material; on microfilm reproducti~ns for par- ticular items that are wanted; or, if Mr. Rider's dream comes true, on microcards. 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.

     summary: The duties ·of the lVIicrocard Committee shall be: a. to set a standard size, weight, and quality of cards for microcards, a standard microcard text format, and a standard mi- crocard catalog entry and abstract format b. to establish a standard scheme of mi- crocard catalog author and classification headings and standardized rules for inter- filing them c. to help libraries gradually to work out an allocated coverage of publishing fields in accordance with accepted library classifica- tion practice, in the hope that by such allocation a large number of cooperating libraries (or other publishing agencies) may ultimately assume joint responsibility for microcard reprod'-:lction without overlapping or duplication, so far as copyright may per- mit and scholars and libraries may request such reproduction d. to issue lists of those libraries (or other agencies) volunteering to undertake the publication of microcards for library use; which lists shall, among other things, state the subject fields or materials for which the said libraries volunteer to assume microcard sponsorship e. to seek information concerning, and to report on the value of, microcard ma- terials and equipment offered for library use f. so far as may be within its proper powers, to encourage uniform and equitable methods in the interlibrary interchange of microcards g. to insist, in every way properly pos- sible, upon the bibliographic staQdardiza- tion of the details of microcard text and headings, and of their size, format, etc., to the end that all microcards intended for library use may be immediately inte~filable by any receiving library in one single filing · arrangement, without that library's being burdened with any unnecessary expense of bibliographic adaptation · h. in general, to assist in every proper way in the efficient and orderly develop- ment of microcard issuance for scholarly use. Comment: By definition microcards are catalog cards plus the text cataloged.

For convenience they may be grouped as follows: instruction in the use of the library, training of apprentices and student assistants, the teaching of courses in library science, the counseling of prospec- tive librarians, and speaking before campus groups on topics relating to books and libraries.

     summary: Despite every effort to advance national unity, particularly in the early days of the republic, through the achievement of cultural independence, American life in almost all of its phases, economic, political, and social, has always been fundamentally derivative. Recognizing that such a treatment can have no pretense to finality, the editor of the volume here re- viewed speaks with a disarming candor of his objectives: to seek merely to define the prob- lem, to describe the basic forms of cultural impact and assimilation, to trace something of their history in American life, and to sur- JANUARY, 1946 95 vey or illustrate their more manifest effects (p. vi).

     summary: It should sponsor an international trade and document bibliography, composed largely of national bibliographies covering all publica- tions for the country of origin, and national bibliographies of periodical literature. Besides, I have a hunch that things have changed pretty radically in the past six years and that the United States at the present time ranks higher in world book production.

     summary: By the usual definitions, union lists rather than union catalogs are the chief contribu- tions of the Biblioteca Americana de Nicaragua. A similar situation exists in Peru, where union catalogs have not been established, but whose National Library at Lima and the University of San Marcos Library are developing modern catalogs that might be used eventually as a basis for one or more union catalogs.

     summary: One might suppose it possible to purchase positive film prints of single titles from the negatives on file in this series, but, for the present, orders for positive films of individual titles are diffi- cult to obtain, as the profit for the filming agency lies in the subscriptions for the entire series; and, practically, until the con- tents of the numerous reels of negatives are fully cataloged, it is not profitable for them to take the time necessary to locate single scattered titles on the many reels of film. 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.

     summary: And we cannot expect library school graduates to possess strong subject specialization and real scholarship, even in face of an unfilled de- mand for such people, because the library schools generally do not develop such charac- teristics in their students, in part due to the fact that programs of instruction are insuf- ficiently integrated with the offerings of other departments on the campus. And last but not least, we need to develop new and specialized programs for library administrators and subject specialists.

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.

     summary: Of the factors which have set university education back, one, the author states, is the loss to research of many of the more mature faculty members who, misled by a misguided patriot- ism, had entered the armed forces or had engaged in some kind of war work. 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).

We have no thought of attempting to start a new library school, neither do we believe that proposals like ours will make library schools obsolete.

This has led to a considera- ble use of talent from all A.L.A. divisions on A.L.A. committees, and, while some rough spots need removing, committee organ- ization seems to have proceeded smoothly.

     summary: If, today, the Depart- ment of State operates American libraries abroad by the score, it is largely because the A.L.A. helped to demonstrate both the need and the means of meeting it. American research libraries, of course, have always been fully aware of the need for importing foreign publications.

     summary: The second stage was one when the director of libraries was also the dean of the school of library service and when he was sup- ported on the library sine by a libnrian in direct charge of the daily operations of the libraries. The use of assistant directors in the Columbia libraries is explained by a desire to keep the span of control for the unified organization within manageable limits and 'the desire, at the same time, to have the strength of the combined staff measure up to the equivalent of the strength of two staffs if they stood separately, one for the libraries and one for the school of library service.

     summary: In offering a blueprint for the develop- ment of Chinese libraries in the next twenty-five years, we must have first of all a clear and accurate objective for the dif- ferent types of libraries in China as well as an intelligent understanding of their relative position in the fabric of national life. A tremendous amount of work awaits us: the restoration of war-devastated libraries, the expansion of other libraries, and the pl.anning of , new services.

     summary: During the recent years of war, when we were forced to reconsider the value of education and to ask what we cherished and what we deplored in our national life, there was an almost Messianic revival of the be- lief in the power of liberal education and much intense study by university and col- lege faculties of how it could be restored to a more vital part in college education. 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.

     summary: Based upon the experience gained through centralized purchasing in connec- tion with the Carnegie Corporation grants to college libraries, it is not too much to hope a cooperative organization of this kind could be highly profitable and, after a period of operation, would be able to give the same schedule of discounts and still have a surplus for bibliographical projects. By and large, the materials acquired by research libraries fall into two major categories: I. Materials available through the book trade, which are apt to be listed in trade bibliographies and catalogs.

Binns and Tchuno and even more by their journalistic contem- porary, the Aurora.

     summary: That there are pleasures here for every purse is proved mahy times and I can think of no better volume to place in the hangs of a college freshman, or his mental equal, who earnestly asks, Why collect books? ' This is one of the very best books on the pleasures of book collecting. 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.

     summary: The classifica- tion of languages presupposes not only the listing of all the languages known but everi more so their proper ii)terrelation and group- ing within language families and classes. 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).

For each of the areas~ information concerning the housing of special materials relating to 1t IS given and important bibliographies are pro- vided.

     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.

     summary: The evidence in these reports indicates that standards for junior college libraries need to be raised in other official accreditation regions and in California. 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.

     summary: 37 The following are some of the advantages claimed by the inventor as compared with earlier methods of microfilm documenta- tion: (a) the saving of storage space occu- pied by cut film as compared with that required for cinefilm, and the possibility of filing cut film in card drawers and using it in a vertical file; (b) the possibility of binding or framing cut film and of mailing it in letter envelopes; (c) the greater ease of referring to individual pages than is pos- sible on 35mm. cinefilm, and the resulting saving of wear and tear; (d) the great resistance of glass to heat and deteriora- tion, when glass plates, in particular the unbreakable kind, are used in lieu of film; (e) the protection which can be given to color film by keeping it between glass; (f) the simple operation, compactness, and low cost of the reading machine, which ma,ke it suitable for home use. 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.

     summary: From a detailed study of the sug- gestions made by the board at the midwinter meeting and of other points, the committee decided to recommend that the board appro- priate sufficient funds to poll the membership on the question of whether or not they would be willing to pay increased dues so as to receive College and Research Libraries auto- matically as a part of A.C.R.L. membership and that, dependent upon a favorable answer to this question, the board institute the neces- sary proceedings for making changes in the A.L.A. 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: Ours is a democratic society, and from the days when the first white settler put foot on this continent to the present the concepts of human freedom and human betterment and happiness have been the · main roots of American democracy, though at times partially choked by the weeds of selfishness, corruption and crass material- Ism. Our colleges and universities have graduated men and women technically trained as librarians, physicians, lawyers or. social workers with little or no interest in the cultural impli- cations of their professions, much less in those things which enable them to formu- late for themselves a satisfying philosophy of life.

     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.

A word may be added for the value of th~ library for the few, for those who are seeking to reformulate the philoso- phy of history and culture, of science and religion.

If, for example, several li- brarians would regularly rec'ord the details of book fund allocations and expenditures in a series of annual reports, we would have on hand a body of information of potentially great value in any pragmatic or theoretical approach to the problem.

     summary: In order to get an accurate estimate of outstanding orders, it was necessary quarterly to examine the carbon copies of all purchase orders to find out which items had not yet been received and paid for, getting a new outstanding order figure on each fund, and effecting the necessary reconciliation on the ledger. In order to take care of the reconcilia- tion of actual costs with estimated costs at the end of each quarter of the fiscal year, all the cards in the orders and receipts file are rearranged by fund, the items received are eliminated, and the remaining cards consist of orders which are still outstanding.

     summary: In libraries having official catalogs, the alphabetical function of the in-process catalog will be assumed by both the official and public catalogs, for no library can any longer deprive its clientele of books just because they have not been permanently cataloged and classified, or justify the witholding of temporary cards from the public while at the same time providing them for th e use of the staff. The adoption of the system by large catalog departments will make possible the elimination of the expensive in-proc~ss catalog.

     summary: I have had to reply that the filing of microcards, or for that matter the filing of any sort of catalog cards, was not practicable by any of the punched card systems with which I was familiar, and in the case of most of these letters I tried to explain why. Proponents of the mechanical filing of catalog cards have failed to realize at its full value the fact that all punched card systems were developed to be, and still are, sorting systems, not filing systems.

     summary: Confronted by this chaotic state of British documentation, and urging a coordinated sys- tem of special libraries in science and tech- nology, Mr. Bradford reaches the climax of his argument in his proposals for a plan for complete scientific documentation throughout the scholarly world. This program urges the development of an international network of existing agencies concerned with indexing and abstracting of scientific literature, each agency operating in its own clearly defined area and transferring to the others all materials rele- vant to their particular fields.

     summary: This program urges the development of an international network of existing agencies concerned with indexing and abstracting of scientific literature, each agency operating in its own clearly defined area and transferring to the others all materials rele- vant to their particular fields. Though it would rely solely upon voluntary cooperation for the control of its constituent parts, the failure of any one of which might seriously endanger the success of the whole, the author believes that the results of such effort would bring to the bibliographic organization of scientific literature a thoroughness of coverage and a directed effort that are now conspic- uously lacking.

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.

In a way, the position of the university librarian in China is almost equivalent to the director of libraries in a university in the United States.

The Library of Congress Bibliographical Planning Group has been asked to pay spe- cial attention to regional needs for improved bibliographical services, and to the improve- ment of bibliographical services in those sub- ject areas in which adequate services are lacking at present.

Keeping in mind this rather extensive background which I have sketched for you let us now consider the question of the use which can be made of classification and pay plans in junior college libraries, assum- · ing agreement upon the principle that a classification and pay plan is desirable for every library, regardless of the size of its staff.

     summary: These include: T h e stratification of library education (and a correspondent strati- fication of library positions) ; general library education as opposed to specialized library education; preprofessional and postprofes- sional education; the quality and number of library schools; the academic point at which various types of library education should occur, and the length of various types of pro- grams; the relationship of library education to the field of practice; and the role of the Board of Education for Librarianship and other interested bodies.

     summary: In recogni- tion of the continuing importance of many of the wartime publications, this revision de- parts from the previous policy of including only governmental agencies in existence at the time of publication and in Chapter X X I V gives a very useful outline in retrospect of 12 of the emergency agencies with their pub- lications. Re- visions consist mainly of changes within sec- tions in order to bring up to date the infor- mation about agencies, and to cite important new publications, more recent examples of different types of publications and additions to the bibliographies.

     summary: With a few exceptions, American re- search libraries began to assume significant proportions only in the latter part of the nine- teenth century; and before acquisition rates were stepped up to the present astronomical proportions, widely accepted cataloging codes, classification schemes and subject heading sys- tems had taken hold in America. T h e problem of subject cataloging is con- siderably more complicated in Europe than it is in America for the average research li- brary simply because of the age of the hold- ings and the nature of the cataloging tradi- tions.

     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.

     summary: All universities have some coyrses in eco- 107 nomics, geography, history, political science, sociology and law; and in all these fields United Nations publications provide ex- cellent source material. Acquisition of the two latter types of United Nations publications will probably be as much as the library of the medium- sized university can manage.

     summary: ; Given this knowledge, work simplification becomes a matter of selecting for more in- 113 tensive study those phases of the work which pose problems of high cost, inac- curacy, tardy processing, arrearages of work, etc. This technique seeks out the most direct means of obviating loss of time and waste of materials and of assuring expeditious processing of work in accordance with predetermined standards of quality.

     summary: The intelligence activity which brings together these bits of information may be a simple matter compared with the detection and coordination of national or interna- tional information which also serves as guide lines to university library policy and a<;tion. The kinds of intelligence activities carried on by the Central Intelligence Agen- cy, adjusted to the scope of activities of university libraries, are as proportio\).ately necessary and productive for the latter as they are for national government.

     summary: types of scenery intervening between those points.19 Holmstrom believes that concepts and the semantic territory between them can be recorded and released; he does not say either that the raw material of language can be molded into forms sufficiently rigid to be amenable to mechanical analysis, nor that such a marvelous mechanical .analyzer exists or is imminent. 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: There are ideological considerations here which I do not wish to go into , but the reader might be interested in noting that the really tremendous increase in the sale of university press books in the last two decades has been in effect a means of gammg wide public financial support for scholarly publishing. Far too much power, for the public good, is exercised by this particular section of the country-in radio, television, magazines, newspapers, the theater, and book publishing.

     summary: Such practical experience would make the college teacher aware of the problems which the stu- dents face in the use of library materials and would acquaint him with the problems which librarians and instructors must solve if the educational aims of the college are to be realized satisfactorily. Perhaps the most notable surprise in store for readers of this volume whose introduction to it comes only through its title is the ex- tensive consideration given to the selection of library materials (the 234 pages comprising Units I-III) as contrasted with the compara- tively little consideration given to the use of such materials in teaching (the 55 pages com- prising Units IV and V).

     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: Working under Francis Wayland, a college president whose library consciousness was of highest order, Jewett traveled widely on book collecting expeditions, visiting libraries and librarians, learning of a great variety of library practice while he built up Brown University's bibliographical re- sources. Still another welcome sign is the growing emphasis on writing library history from broad source materials rather than from a compound of reminiscence as has been too often the woeful approach in this field.

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.

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: The experience of most agencies and in- stitutions operating classified report libraries has evolved two successful methods for the administration and housing of a complete library service. A possible way for the university library to provide technical report service to re- search contracts, both security-classified and unclassified, would be to establish a classi- fied report collection with facilities and staff personnel cleared to handle military security classifications of restricted and confi- dential.

     summary: In any case, catalog trays were out of use for a brief time only. In a catalog as extensive as the one under con- sideration it would be helpful to have a measuring scale (in inches only) stamped on the outer right side or along the top edge of that side of each tray, to save the necessity of picking up and positioning a ruler, both in the process of estimating and of apportioning tray contents later.

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: Public librarians have had the stimulating experience over the last several years of look- ing at themselves as others see them. 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.

After careful and detailed study of the costs of card preparation, of transferring (i.e. of adapting L C cards, of modifying form of personal and corporate entries and subject tracings to correspond to forms already established in the catalogs, of adding classmarks to all cards), and the elapsed time between receipt of material and the availability of full sets of cards in the catalogs, the survey recommended that cards be reproduced by offset, using electric type- writers equipped wTith 8-point type for com- position.

     summary: A third difference to note is the inclusion of two features, usually found elsewhere in reference books, as part of the index. But at other times and especially while reading the 80-page appendix on Principles and Methods of Syntopical Construction one has the uncomfortable feel- ing that the author is one of those intelligent readers who has spent his reading life either taking for granted or minimizing the impor- tance of indexes until this moment when called upon to assume responsibility for con- structing one, and then, suddenly aware that indexing is a fundamental, but still not fully initiated in the art, sets out to philosophize about elementaries explained in the first few days of library school.

     summary: It makes it possible to approach the contents of the great books in a variety of ways that will be useful to the scholar and the student interested in the his- tory of ideas and in locating passages on spe- cific topics in this group of books. A third difference to note is the inclusion of two features, usually found elsewhere in reference books, as part of the index.

     summary: As applied to library science the implication is that the small branch collection specializing in a particular science will either need to grow to an unwieldy and expensive size with much duplication of material in the central libraries and other branches or remain small and unsatisfactory. Having an administrator trained in science library work in charge of a university-wide science library service has many advantages.

     summary: Perhaps the most pressing needs to which inter-library cooperation in microfilm projects would contribute relate to the preservation of library materials, specifically, and in descend- ing order of priority, to the preservation of ( i ) domestic newspapers of the woodpulp period, (2) disintegrating periodicals, and (3) out-of-print books. 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.

     summary: Source materials are being made available to scholars as a result of four different but closely related operations: (a) By a program of republication in microprint of printed basic sources; (b) By utilizing Fulbright research scholars to obtain microfilm copies of selected foreign manuscript materials; (c) By deposit- ing the master negatives of these materials in the Library of Congress for use either there or through interlibrary loan or for the pur- chase in positive microfilm duplication by other libraries, when this practice is not ruled out by the holders of the original manu- scripts; and (d) By publishing the results of the above operations so that scholars will know about the sources acquired. 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.

     summary: From the begin- ning, the Edwards Brothers catalog and the subsequent L C Catalog have included the entries prepared under the cooperative catalog- ing program and, by showing the name of the library preparing the copy, have thereby par- taken in a limited measure of the nature of a union catalog. 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.

     summary: Few libraries to date have established a clear, concise, and workable binding policy for United Nations documents, mimeographed or printed. As a comment upon this, I would say that as long as under- graduates and beginning graduate students find United Nations material to be of use to them in their work, certainly such a service would not be amiss.

     summary: Then after 1886 a num- ber of professorships in library science were set up which only for a limited time aided posterity by adding to our objective knowl- edge, but did not affect the question of intel- lectual development which is central to the problem of the education of the librarian. 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.

       title: A Manual of cataloging Practice for Catholic Author and Title Entries (Book Review)
        date: 1954-04-01
       words: 2235
      flesch: 47
     summary: Almost one-third of the chapter is devoted to library building history of an excessively antiquarian character; the rest of the chapter deals succinctly with standards of library design, elements of li- brary buildings, types of library buildings, factors to be considered in planning, and fu- ture trends. 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.

      flesch: 58
     summary: For while the book is readily identified by the author and title given on the title page, the work embodied in it may be issued simultaneously under different titles, as under a British title and an American title, or may be issued successively under different titles and also under different names of the author if the author has not always used his real name or has changed his name in the course of time. A n d why, then, should the biographical infor- mation given in the catalog include only names, dates, and certain titles of the people entered and not also data about their occupation, interests, marital status, residence, etc., as other biographical ref- erence works do?

     summary: At this point it might be well to esti- mate the disadvantages attendant u p o n entry into the library profession without formal library school training. Thus, with an ef- fective professional staff, a reasonable number of clerical personnel, and stu- dent assistants as available and needed, there would be a much sounder person- nel program, and evaluation would be simplified.

     summary: If so, college libraries will operate under the spotlight of investigations, front- page publicity, and the speeches and papers of both politicians and research workers. Finally, with expansion facing us at every turn, we likewise have a crisis in staff to operate college libraries.

      flesch: 56
     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.

N o t long after beginning the reading of this volume a strong sense of having been over all of this ground before stimulated re- call of the fact that the same editor and the same press had produced two previous an- thologies of material in the general field of mass communication.

     summary: Strictly a ref- erence list, general treatises are said to have been included only to supply an essential need in an area where reference books are not avail- able. This only emphasizes the great difficulty of keep- ing lists of reference books and periodicals up to date, for the closing compilation date here was October, 1954.

     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.

On the other hand, his list of catalogs of law libraries and his list of legal periodicals offer information not eas- ily obtained for all countries in the world.

While in Indonesia, during discussions with Mr. Dunningham, Professor Rankin had learned that Dunningham favored the general adoption of the Brussels ex- pansion of the Universal Decimal Classi- fication for Indonesian libraries.

If this picture of the present state of af- fairs in the evaluation of college libraries is reasonably accurate, and admittedly the description is somewhat disconcert- ing, what lines of thought seem most promising for the future?

     summary: At the same time, those sources that cut across all the subjects repre- sented in the curriculum are stressed in the hope that they will become common knowledge among research students. T h e incentive for the development of such a course in the curriculum of the Florida State University Graduate School was the widespread belief among faculty members that graduate students needed to become familiar with: (1) the bibiographic sources which are common to all research fields, the use of which is necessary to reflect an exhaustive and 1 Katherine S.

     summary: The basic criticism of the Prussian In- structions, which gave rise to the demand for their revision, is that they were designed by grammarians for grammarians and that, whatever their merit may once have been, the principle of grammatical structure which underlies their method of catalog entry is not suited to present-day catalogers, present- day readers, and even present-day books. The au- thors state: Modern automatic equipment is able to scan and recognize index entries . . .

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.

     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.

     summary: While recognizing the reluctance of a seg- ment of the library profession to assume re- sponsibilities in the uncharted waters of A-V, Dr. Lieberman's basic philosophy for academ- ic, public, and school libraries includes as essential the responsibility for acquiring, or- ganizing, administering, and stimulating use of all materials that record man's thought. 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.

     summary: In fact, the author seems unneces- sarily modest when, after stating that in- clusion or exclusion [of information sources] was determined on the basis of the author's personal familiarity with publications and organizations and his accessibility to data, he adds that the examples used as illustra- tions throughout the book do not necessari- ly represent the best or even the most im- portant of their types. It is most important to the layman, perhaps, that the compiler, in any discussion of statistical sources, should map a clear trail from the currently issued statistics in any series to the annual compila- tion and on to the historical base book (or vice versa, of course).

It has been suggested that an open- shelf, union reserve book room, with service organized somewhat like that in Russell Hall at Teachers College, would eliminate the short lines which do form in front of our Assigned Reading coun- ters at certain peak hours.

     summary: In 1951, pursuant to a recommendation of the Western German Librarians' Com- mittee on Dissertations and Microfilms (Verein Deutscher Bibliothekare, Kom- mission fiir Dissertations- und Mikro- filmfragen; chairman, Dr. Bauhuis), it was decided to change the distribution of the five copies as follows: two copies to the respective university library (one of them for interlibrary loan or for the respective Landesbibliothek), one copy to the Deutsche Bibliothek at Frankfurt/ Main as Western German center, one copy to the Deutsche Biicherei at Leip- zig as bibliographical center of all Ger- man dissertations, and one copy to the University Library at Berlin (East) as the historical collecting point for disser- tations. 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: Other items censored were fourteen short reviews of books on geopolitics, military geography, those which ques- tioned the frontiers which placed Ger- man minorities in other countries, a category that might be identified as ir- redentist literature, and one review of a book on Spanish politics and the then ac- tive Spanish Civil War. If the title said something about geopolitics, or military geography, if the author was a well known member of Karl Haushofer's Geopolitical Insti- tute, or if the title said something about German minorities in Eastern Europe, the review was likely to be pasted over.

The number of libraries in the Soviet 217 Union must be numbered in the thou- sands-~50,000, according to the British publication, The World of Learning.l Most of these are comparable to Amer- ican community and county libraries, but there are also large public libraries in each of the Republics, as well as great central repositories in Leningrad and Moscow.

     summary: In the last few years there has been some serious questioning of the expan- sion of university libraries, but at New York University it has been pointed out that un- questionably the over-all instructional pro- gram would be improved if better library fa- cilities were available. It would be unrealistic for this in- stitution to attempt to duplicate the largest libraries, but it is essential that there be suf- ficient books, seating and stack space, and professional library assistance to meet the needs of a varied and sound professional pro- gram.

     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: Still, there has been enough activity in the area of staff participation in management so that we have literally hundreds of tech- niques for such participation including such items as suggestion systems, junior manage- ment boards, work simplification councils, and bottoms-up management. . We could gain in our understanding of staff participation in management, I think, by looking at the decision making process in organizations.

     summary: The ad- vanced seminar in library administration that I had the good fortune to conduct at Rutgers last spring could not possibly have worked out as well as it did unless the par- ticipants had all come to it with a back- ground of experience il). I am convinced that committees of this kind are one of the most desirable means of ensuring staff participation in library administration.

     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: The bibliography is a useful selective list of German works on special libraries, with a few English and Russian entries; but it could have been far more useful if more works from the rich American literature on special libraries had been cited. Perhaps most impressive is the em- phasis on special libraries in the countries with people's democracies.

     summary: In summary, these papers provide a good background for, and review of, the main problems involved in catalog code revisiOn (particularly for the library school student and teacher), as given by recognized experts, although one looks in vain for a detailed consideration of the basic problems in- volved in the finding list vs. reference tool dilemma, a question which still has not been thoroughly discussed. College and Research Libraries ute to catalog code revisiOn by a careful consideration of the practical problems which arise in everyday work.

     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.

     summary: An accumulation of such experiences with confused, befuddled, and sometimes rather desperate students led the writer to devise some methods to impart essen­ tial knowledge of library tools and use. He invited me to give a series of two or three lectures on the use of the business library and its materials to his class of graduate students.

     summary: Essential- ly, the schedule includes observations on problems of enrollment affecting library service (changes in character of student body, proportion of resident to com- muting students, number of part-time students, including evening students, and foreign students), changes in faculty affecting library service (size, type of ac- tivity—instructional, research, clinical, etc.—utilization of fellows, teaching as- sistants, research assistants), changes in curriculum and research programs (course structure, kinds of problems like- ly to be studied, doctoral and post-doc- toral research, governmental contracts, other contractual relationships), relation of unit to library program (committee and individual faculty member action), need for special (departmental) library resources, quarters and equipment, courses in the use of the libraries, at- titudes toward cooperative enterprises, collecting policy of the future, sugges- tions concerning library program, and observations on any special problems in- volving library resources or services. 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.

       words: 1116
      flesch: 56
     summary: Some two pages of ideas for colleges and universities are presented in the Organization Handbook for Na- tional Library Week, reprints of which have been widely distributed. There are, of course, times for caution, but it would seem that the over- all objectives of National Library Week are so closely related to what college and research libraries are out to accomplish that we might safely venture, in larger numbers, to give it active support.

     summary: In any event, it is more than conceivable not only that any sound answers will affect the work of reference librarians in the ways suggested above; but also they could easily involve, say, the overthrow of our traditional hierarchical classification schemes. (5) What are the advantages of the Dy- son system of chemical notation, as compared to those of other systems, (a) to chemists; (b) to librarians?

     summary: However, most of these find- ings, and the recommendations arising from them, will come as no surprise to those familiar with the results of other studies of catalog users. 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: These factors were: (1) the influence of individuals; (2) the influence of publicity; (3) the influence of use of libraries; (4) the influence of work experience in libraries; (5) the influence of library education. Other weaknesses would include the use of library staff members as interviewers, and having these interviewers consciously select their respondents according to their own in- dividual judgments as to the representative- ness of the sample being obtained.

     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.

     summary: Upon review, these rec- ommendations, given great weight and de- tail at Dorking, would appear to gravitate more about classification engineering than classification research, and to lend themselves more to mechanical and technological in- ventiveness than to the objective methods of academic research. T h e topics for research suggested in this chapter are: (1) What is incidence of communications serv- ing the function?

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.

     summary: Powell does care about what authors say, he does sometimes write about the contents of books (see chapters beginning on pages 97 and 238, for example) and he does un- derstand that the physical book is a carrier for ideas and expressions. T h e kind of librarian we want in universities will have spent 90 per cent of his time in library school on this analysis, after at least a four-year liberal arts educa- tion.

     summary: In connection with planning for and a subsequent revision of the off-campus services of the University of North Caro- lina Library, the author became inter- ested in these services of university li- braries and the relation of university li- brary extension to other state-supported library extension services, such as those rendered by state libraries and library commissions. 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.

Cappon, president of the Society of American Archivists and director of the Institute 344 COLLEGE AND RESEARCH LIBRARIES of Early American History and Culture, and Boyd C. Shafer, executive secretary of the American Historical Association, it was determined that the Library of Congress should take the initiative by applying to the foundation for a grant sufficient to meet the obstetric charges.

     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.

     summary: What are their ideas in respect to the future of research libraries? 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.

Despite these limitations and the more serious ones noted above, it should be emphasized that book reviewing is so much a part of the li- brarian's work that encouragement should be given to studies of it in its various phases.

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.

       title: The Dogma of Book Selection in University Libraries
        date: 1960-11-01
       words: 3155
      flesch: 57
     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: When properly combined with consid- erations 'of the growth of collections and the availability of cooperative resources, it may be possible to establish a logical pattern for the development of deposit or storage libraries in our country. In short, the fundamental motivation toward deposit or storage libraries is basically the same in virtually every type of library we have discussed.

     summary: And since it was the full intention of the Church College of Hawaii to meet the Western College Association standards in every phase of their effort, this fact alone was sufficient evidence to cause the board to decide to build a much larger library. Read- ing spaces are relatively small, rather than the monumental study halls found in libraries of the past.

When the library sci- ence area was started, library instruction to freshmen was given by members of this department.

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.

Gull on Substitutes for the card catalog, and the chapter on Evalu- ation of information systems for report utilization, are still of great interest and usefulness.

     summary: The author expresses conviction that division of catalogs may lead to the harmonious shift to printed catalogs for subjects for older portions of the collec- tion; and similarly penetrating observations are made under the other topics discussed. 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.

     summary: I made the point that Ameri- can periodicals dealers have surprisingly and, from the standpoint of good busi- ness principle, foolishly avoided telling their clientele anything about them- selves. I distinguish periodicals dealers from subscription agents and book dealers as those companies which buy, stock, and sell back-files of predominantly out- of-print general and scholarly journals.

An interesting analysis of the problem of professionalization leads to his statement that the 'ivory tower' is hard to find in a large university these days—and so are some professors, (p. 84).

     summary: Mr. Ranganadian's experience was followed by observation of daily operations in more than a hundred libraries in the United Kingdom, by years of responsibility in the administration of the Madras University Library, and by diirty years of teaching library science. Mr. Barrow's studies have pointed to one but not the only such product; the book trade and paper-technologists can work consistently towards the development of such papers.

     summary: It has become ap- parent to the governing boards, the dean of the faculty of arts and sciences, and the director of the university library that the limited endowments of a number of the research institutions are insufficient to provide for library collections and services on a level with traditional com- mitments and in accordance with per- S E P T E M B E R 1 9 6 1 331 sonnel and salary standards generally prevailing elsewhere in the university li- brary. I N K that physical centraliza-tion of library collections and services on a large university campus is possible or desirable; degrees of centralization, on the other hand, may be and fre- quently are desirable; but, although physical centralization is not possible, it is my view that unified or centralized ad- ministration is desirable, if it can be achieved without loss of library support or vital interest.

     summary: Help from Students in Encouraging Reading A student library committee may use various techniques each year to encour- age reading, such as taking reading to people in the infirmary, getting students' comments on books they like, preparing a week end shelf, getting students to vote on their favorite books, preparing lists of popular reading books in various fields, and in other ways. Students may help in stimulating the reading of other students by selecting a week end shelf of books to recommend to their fellow students, by preparing a list of popular reading books in various fields, by getting comments on books students like, by getting students to vote on their favorite books, or by getting students to suggest books for purchase for recreational reading.

     summary: If the decision is to concentrate university adult education programs at the college level (and financial support may dictate this de- cision in view of the special function of uni- versities in the field of higher education) then the public library, as the people's uni- versity, undoubtedly will be expected to assume, with other agencies, major respon- sibility for adult education. , university adult education can play a meaningful role only by rigorously defin- ing its distinctive place, by setting a limit to the tasks that it will undertake and an order of priority among them.

     summary: While continuing their course work in academic subjects, library students would have the inesti- mable benefit of language preparation in a foreign country, as well as the oppor- tunity to observe some great public and private libraries abroad in action. 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: Here, in order to simplify matters, two formulas will be taken as a base; they are arbitrary and debatable, and are by no means satisfactory for all institutions, but they make it possible to compare book capacities of different arrange- ments. These three basic methods can be char- acterized as: (1) methods of shelving more books in the existing sections; (2) methods of devoting a larger percentage of the available floor space to regular shelving; and (3) methods of increasing the capacity of a given floor space by us- ing special kinds of shelving.

Refer- ence versus circulating books in public libraries, books for the graduate level versus the undergraduate, mean that the holdings are divided into two separate units or special collections.

     summary: Sub- ject headings were brought up to date through the basic list and supplements; the flow of books through cataloging routine was reviewed; decisions written on slips of paper were coordinated, re- viewed and typed in readable form on sheets; sample book cards, pockets, and sets of catalog cards were assembled. Because the pink slip would be tied up for some weeks, faculty would be notified via the buff card from the on- order drawer as soort as the list of books added to the library was typed.

     summary: To suggest that censorship is hardly a rna jor daily problem for the rank and file librarian is not to suggest that there are not difficult problems in book selection and in library policies to be met fre- quently. The goals set forth in the preamble to our constitution -have never been reject- ed by the American people: We the People of the United States, in order to form a more perfect Union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquillity, pro- vide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the bless- ing of liberty to ourselves and our pos- terity, do ordain and establish this Con- stitution ... · Even though freedom is not the only cherished value in our society, it is an essential one, and for the librarian it ought to be a fundamental consideration in the formulation of library policies and decisions.

     summary: Some of the reasons which have been advanced for the reluctance of academic libraries to participate in NL W activities are: students have to read all the time anyway and this sort of appeal will not draw them; students often complain about library books, service, and librar- ians, and library promotion is not likely to change their minds; NL W slogans sometimes have not been very applicable to the situation in which students find MARCH 1963 themselves-Wake up and read (no time 'for more reading); Are you well informed? these statements seem to read largely like a public library credo (or perhaps notes on contributions toward a philosophy of librarianship), academic libraries cer- tainly have not been excluded and obvi- ously can sneak into the tent through the open door in the last quoted sentence.

       words: 2431
      flesch: 50
     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.

We are adding to it, under Mr. Shaw's guidance, buying more books as our resources permit, and Mr. Shaw matches what we do with purchases which he immediately adds to his gift.

     summary: In an age witnessing an overwhelming pro- liferation of scientific knowledge, with its elaborate structure and complicated system of communication, any attempt on the part of one man to write a history of one phase of this complex, namely the publication of scientific periodicals, would be as Herculean a task as the attempts to develop systematic control of scientific literature have proven to be. The problems and patterns of production de- scribed are typical of more than just the pub- lication of scientific journals.

     summary: MEASURING LIBRARY uSE In their efforts to indicate the volume of library use, librarians have tradition- ally reported such statistics as: books loaned for home use, number of refer- ence questions asked, and number of interlibrary loans transacted. In recent years especially, these data have ap- peared less and less meaningful as true measures of library use and usefulness.

     summary: In addition to these defects of the law, major problems in school librarian- ship consist in lack of cooperation and the incomplete metamorphosis in the new education system~ For example, there is no cooperative, centralized cata- loging for a group of school libraries in a school district. The American faculty's contributions to the development of Japanese libraries are so noteworthy that I should like to mention their names in the order of their visits: Robert L. Gitler, the found- ing director of the school, from the Uni- versity of Washington, Seattle, and now at New York State University College at Geneseo; Mrs. Frances Cheney, Peabody College; Bertha Frick, Columbia; Han- 3 Takahisa Sawamoto, Education for Librarianship in Japan, in American Libraries, Report of the U.S .

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: Careful systems planning is essen- tial before mechanization should be at- tempted; the compelling necessity of a national system of libraries should be recognized in planning for mechaniza- tion as it has been recognized in the planning of conventional libraries. This is not to say that there was una- nimity on all counts; there was frequent difference of opinion expressed on how to attain the goal, on what steps in at- taining it should enjoy priority over what other steps, and the relative im- portance of the many areas of prospec- tive improvement in library services.

     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: There are three levels of library use in an academic and research institution: (1) college level-the stu- dent's library, for the beginning student engaged in general education and in ac- quiring background for specific disci- plines; (2) university level-the ma- turing scholar's library, for the develop- ing scholar and specialist, emphasizing a subject field or area, providing syn- thesis and an introduction to research; and (3) research level-for the ad- vanced graduate, faculty member, and research staff concerned with the exten- sion or application of knowledge pro- viding the necessary intellectual support for research. · Special needs of users: Students need direct access to a small and well selected collection of library materials, with a minimum of physical and psychological restraint, conditions which are attrac- tive and conducive to study, long open hours, and a mature and respected pro- fessional staff.

     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.

With increasing knowledge of Slavic languages, particularly Russian, among scholars in various fields, the separation of books in these languages from other books is a growing incon- venience to nonarea specialists.

Since the decisions as to what programs were to be described were rigorously made, and since their descriptions are by those top individuals who are involved in teaching, this distillation of science information train- ing's trends and achievements in this coun- try is a distinct .contribution to understand- ing the state of the art and to estimating its immediate future.

Although the compilers have not at- tempted to include all Latin American li- braries, their aim was to present all uni- versity and special libraries, public libraries of more than two thousand volumes, and school libraries of more than one thousand volumes; they recognize that, even with these limits, they have probably missed some in- stitutions.

     summary: In- novation in information systems is definite- ly not coming from the library world, and only one library school is listed in this com- pilation. This perhaps explains why some of the statistics presented are at vari- ance with those found in other sources (e.g., The World of Learning) and those obtained in personal contact with library staffs.

     summary: Good librarians not only know their collections well but they also know the faculty and what to call to the atten- tion of various professors (such as books received as gifts; books purchased; un- cataloged books in the attic; and books being published which should be pur- chased by the department). The electronic storage and re- trieval of library material has been con- NOVEMBER 1963 fined to remote-from-campus activity such as the great government research agen- cies.

     summary: Jane Forgotson, in an excellent article, has warned that if academic libraries become too hierarchical in structure, faculty members will not consider associ- ating with any librarians who are not at the top of the hierarchy. The mechanization of academic libraries, as a response to the extended and press- ing literature needs of their users, may demand a complete reconfiguration of the discipline of librarianship as we now know it.

     summary: The growing masses of students besieg- ing academic institutions, the current trend toward greater library use by stu- dents and the concomitant inability of libraries to keep up with these demands because of budget and staff limitations, are other factors cited which should deter libraries from allowing their books to lie unused and forgotten in faculty mem- bers' bookcases. There is general agreement that fac- ulty members should have extended priv- ileges on library materials.

     summary: College and Research Libraries The Use of Overseas Central Cataloging in Australia with Special Reference to Library of Congress Cataloging LIBRARY OF CoNGRESS cataloging as a form of central cataloging has taken the place of British cataloging in British coun- tries, and in particular Australia. A mere glance at what the other fellow has already done is helpful, even if we end in doing the opposite; if we go-as we may be justified in going-to the other extreme, local cataloging can be reduced to completely uncritical copy- ing of central cataloging.

     summary: He does not criticize the independent societies for not taking advantage of new developments in the graphic arts in the publication of their scholarly journals, but he applies the term popularizing to other societies that have used illustrations, artwork, color, and even 63 magazine format in the attempt to secure a wider reading audience. For example, he justifies the limiting of memberships by independent societies on the grounds that this will reduce the total cost of membership benefits, but he caustically applies the term togetherness to the efforts of other soci- eties to attract a large membership and thereby reduce the unit costs of these bene- fits.

     summary: books in abundance ready to your hand; you might have imagined you~self among the shelves of some grammanan, or the tiers of the Athenaeum, or a book- seller's towering cases. But had they been preserved, I am sure that complaints were made about the catalog engraved upqn the walls of the library at Edfu in Egypt, 2 and that the Babylonian Amid-anu, who lived some seventeen hundred years be- fore Christ and is perhaps the first li- brarian whose name is recorded, had to give ear from time to time to unhappy scholars who wanted to rearrange the clay tablets in their own-conflicting- systems.3 For it seems to be a library axiom that no arrangement of books can please all of the people all of the time.

The later directory has a narrower scope than the earlier; it includes only scholarly libraries and documentation centers and thus contains no information on the central lending services of the departements or on certain municipal libraries (even for those which are included there is no mention of lending and children's services or of branch- es) .

     summary: With the development of inexpensive and rapid methods of photocopying it is possible for libraries to keep research materials where they are available to their own students and faculty and at the same time enable them to meet the growing demands from other libraries for materials. This survey had three purposes: ( 1 ) To establish the correct date of participation of libraries which participate in the University Microfilms dissertation project; (2) To determine in general the extent of deviation from the policy of not lending dissertations avail- able from Ann Arbor, and specifically to find out which libraries continue to lend after the date of their participation; and, ( 3 ) to leani the periodical loan policy of selected libraries.

     summary: Space in the main stack is calculated to be worth $1.68 per volume; space in storage comes to 42¢ per volume. On this basis, the library saves $1.26 on space for each vol- ume transferred to storage; but, if processing takes 61 ¢ or more, then selection, requiring consideration by faculty or high level pro- fessional personnel, might indeed cut the total saving to a minute sum.

     summary: The more important of these, so far as concerns this country, may be noted in chronological order, thus: esparto, in the period 1860-70; 'mechanical wood' or ground wood pulp, in 1870-80; the wood celluloses, in the period 1880-90.13 After finding that such factors as illuminating gas, acidity in the instance of mid-century rag papers, and oxidation in the instance of mechan- ical wood pulp, were involved in dete- rioration, 14 the committee enumerated four classes, or qualities, of papermaking fibers and described specifications for book papers to be used in publications of presumably permanent value. At the end of the fifteenth century, Johann Tritheim, a Benedictine abbot, was sufficiently troubled about paper to wonder how long a book printed on it would last.

     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 Future of the Research Library ap- pnses us of the progress already made against problems that plague research li- braries and becomes a useful guide for future library research.

     summary: It is suitable as a text for library school students studying science libraries. College and Research Libraries ties in this volume are the following: publi- cations are too numerous, and many are of such minimal value that stockpiling can- not be justified; lack of satisfactory micro- text reading devices for individual owner- ship and use; inadequacy and cost of bibli- ographic information; deteriorating paper; delays in cataloging; high costs in terms of time, money, and frustration of borrowing from other libraries.

The new National Referral Cen- ter for Science and Technology, which is being developed at the Library of Con- gress can be a great help in connecting potential users with information centers.

     summary: According to one member, no Chicago campus volunteered to have the meeting, and it was not until March 1956 that an invitation was issued indi- cating that a regional conference devoted to college library problems and open to all librarians in the midwestern states10 would be held in connection with the op- ening of the new, four-million-dollar li- brary at Michigan State University, East Lansing, on May 18-19, 1956. Therefore, following his two-year leader- ship as chairman, Benjamin Richards tapped his successor, H. Vail Deale, the director of libraries, Beloit College.

     summary: My own experience indicates that library buildings fail most often be- cause architects have a tendency to conceive of ( as they talk of) buildings as spatial sculptures rather than spatial functions, and this often leads to build- ing from the outside in , despite pious protestations to the contrary. 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.

       words: 652
      flesch: 64
     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: The proposals for a nationwide program for improving access to the resources of medical literature in Canada include: ( 1) the establishment of a National Medical Bibliographic Centre and Information Ser- vice; ( 2) a program of financial aid to medical school libraries to enable them t<)_ bring their collections up to recognized standards; ( 3) the establishment and main- tenance of an auxiliary provincewide library service for the continuing education pro- grams; ( 4) the setting-up, in all teaching hospitals, of medical libraries which meet professional library standards; ( 5) the set- ting-up of a program for the training of Book Reviews I 251 medical science libr-arians at an accredited Canadian library school. Even though it por- trays the Canadian scene, the survey will be valuable for other countries whose medical school libraries are faced with expanding re- search programs, continuing education pro- grams, lack of supporting libraries in teach- ing hospitals, and the new interdisciplinary teaching programs.-OZga

     summary: He has writ- ten an immensely stimulating book, provid- ing a perceptive critique of each of the existing classifications as well as new in- sight into possible solutions to the problems of classifying social science materials. To reach this goal, Foskett, like Rangana- than and virtually all the librarians working in new classifications, proposes a change in the concepts by which an item should be classified.

     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: Although the general literature per- taining to book selection for university li- braries does not deal individually with religious materials, it does offer a frame- work of general information and ideas within which a philosophy for selecting religious books may be conceived. If the acquisi- tions department has a core of bibliog- raphers engaged in book selection, the concern for general religious materials might be assigned to one or more of these.

     summary: This important as- pect of library service would be rele- gated to an information clerk sitting in splendid isolation by the umbrella stand giving traffic directions. Most of these latter patrons have formed their attitudes through poor contacts at public service desks and to win their confidence should be a greater challenge than answering an esoteric reference question or compiling a thirty-page bib- liography on cranberries.

     summary: College and Research Libraries DAVID C.

     summary: The ultimate future of IFLA may well be a series of regional groups, similar perhaps to the Latin-American Regional Section found- ed in 1962, each with its own organiza- tion and meetings .... Proposed as being essential to its continued success are: (1) a broader base for its fiscal support; (2) special conferences for particular groups of librarians; (3) improved annual programing; (4) better com- munication between IFLA and its constituent organizations; and, (5) a more extensive publication program.

     summary: Increasing emphasis upon multidisciplinary research argues for greater centralization of science libraries. To arrive at a reasonable utiliza- tion of library materials, the books and journals must be used a certain number of times within a given unit of time.

     summary: It is important to observe that in the past much of the work of giving library instruction to students has been done by librarians without the help of college and university administrators, and that the burden it places on other aspects of library work is frequently excessive. In Poland the sporadic offering of li- brary instruction to college students be- gan between the two wars.

     summary: Since the number of books or volumes per student and faculty only is not in- dicative of the strength of library service in university libraries, the amounts spent for library materials should be made an integral part of their standards. As one means to gain insight into where we stand in respect to our activities, our manpower resources, library materials, physical facilities, and financial position, the measurable areas in libraries are presented numerically- that is, statistically.

Also, a point over- looked in both cases, comparison with other systems does not answer problems arising from the weakness of this system.

     summary: The value of reference work in maintaining good public relations is recog- nized by everyone, but the complicated re- lationship between the reference function and the other technical processes calls for frequent new definition, and the double- edged responsibility of reference personnel to interpret the administration on one hand, and represent the public on the other, has not yet been sufficiently explored in pro- fessional literature. Cases dealing with policy, depart- mental administration, and the ethics of reference work are interspersed throughout the text.

At that time addi- tional help should be available if needed to maintain the now constant flow, be- cause once the momentum of book flow . has been built up, it must not be per- mitted to falter.

     summary: IN THE PAST quarter century, libraries have increasingly adopted from business and other professions the principle of position classification as a means to as- sure equitable salary and status for posi- tions which may vary in duties but which have the same level of qualifica- tions and responsibilities. As a first step, the committee sought counsel from a professor and an admin- istrator of the school of business admin- istration concerning principles and pro- cedure of position classification.

     summary: He gives reasons for certain aspects of Soviet bibliography which have on occasion in the past been criticized and describes some of the particular problems encountered in enumerating the productions of the Soviet press. Thus far we have discussed the high- lights of Soviet centralized bibliography, and next to nothing about the shortcom- ings.

     summary: In the case of both categories of overtime, the majority in- dicated that compensatory time was au- thorized.11 A smaller number, however, reported any type of compensation for voluntary overtime than the number re- porting compensation for required over- time. 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.

     summary: But for DDC 370-379 the pattern was quite different: titles published before 1904, during 1904-1913, and 1934-1943 had about the same relative usage which was higher than the relative usage for titles pub- lished during 1914-1933. An attempt was made to fit a re- gression model for titles in English by quantifying the last three in- dependent variables with relative usage as the dependent variable.

     summary: Properly designed, a scheme of alpha- betical subject headings can afford an approach to indexing of aeronautics (or whatever other subject you care to name) equally as concentrated as an approach through a special faceted classification, U niterms, or any other type of index language. 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.

     summary: The library science faculty is no more proof against the charge of mere processing of students than any other teacher-less, in fact, due to the voca- tionalism of many such faculties.

     summary: The average successful alumnus had been younger and healthier while in library school, had been both graded and evaluated higher by his instructors, had come from a more prestigious undergraduate institution, had probably done more graduate work and held more library positions before attending library school, than the average unsuccessful alum- nus. 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: Although a systematic account of the sub- ject heading systems used in library catalogs is long overdue, Mr. Metcalfe's contribution nevertheless is a most needed one. Much of the material in the book is ap- plicable to libraries of any size, but where size is a consideration, the author is quick to point out its possible effects on planning.

     summary: Competent univer- sity librarians evidently found their assign- ment of relating the Warren proposal to library planning a bit sticky for they fre- quently retreated to discussing tangential matters such as the quality of microfilm readers and local applications of computers to library operations. One cannot judge the substance and worth of a conference by its printed pro- ceedings, and the participants in the con- clave may have gained considerable insight into the implications of the Warren proposal for library planning.

     summary: Library use increased progressively from the freshman through the senior year, and again it was shown that seniors do not spend more hours in the library than members of other classes, but that they are more frequently found there and are more likely to be using library materials. This is attested to not only by the larger number of students who use the library in each of the four years, but by the increasing number of upperclass- men who make use of library materials rather than their own books.

     summary: In terms of a report of projec- tion by H. L. White in 1939, Mr. Bryan found that movement in building collec- tions, erecting new libraries, and strength- ening staffs was very slow. Bryan has been one of the advocates of cooperative collecting for the country, and writes: If they [university libraries] throw their weight behind the movement for rationali- zation of library resources and services on a national scale, they will not only make this rationalization much more meaningful, but also ensure that it preserves the degree of local self-sufficiency which is vital to the carrying out of their major role.

     summary: No appro- priation was made for library research. Those of us who work in day-to-day operations, acquiring books and giving them bibliographic addresses in our col- lections, sometimes feel that the great powerhouse of research libraries which the Association of Research Libraries represents is pretty far removed from ~ur operation~, that the head of a large library doesn t recognize the desperate flailing of the arms as we try to keep from going under for the last time in the flood of materials which come to us in ever increasing waves.

     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: He is unsettled about the apparent re- moval of systems theory from the em- pirical world-a two-stage removal if one considers general systems theories as inductively formulated on the bases of a common principle observed to be operative in a limited set of concrete systems.

     summary: Ways that community college faculty actively block an effective library program most frequently included the making of as- signments before notifying the library ( 70.43 per cent of the librarians reported this as being .the most frequent tech- nique), assuming nonexistent library skills on the part of the students, and failing to recognize the importance of their part in the teaching and conveying of library attitudes and experiences. The community college president's perception of his teachers, students, li- brarians, and library program is a re- vealing part of this picture of faculty- library integration.

This, rather than merely the superior student is the focus of this volume which, briefly, traces the history of the honors movement in America; spells out some of the charac- teristics and needs of the superior student (and inadvertently exposes the precious- ness of some of them) that lead to the de- velopment of honors programs; gives case studies of honors work in such differing academic milieus as liberal arts colleges, private and state universities, and secondary schools; and treats of the differing objectives and methods of departmental and college honors.

For the instructor with little ex- perience or training in teaching methods, student ratings can point out areas on which he must concentrate to increase his effectiveness.

      flesch: 71
     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.

     summary: At least one person doing research has found that only a minority of librarians advocate the placement of catalog cards for phonodiscs in the main catalog with their book cards. The ideal seems to be inclusion of phonodisc cards in the main book catalog as well as in a separate file located in the area where the records will be played.

     summary: In order to compensate for the de- ficiencies of bibliographic journals, most academic teachers and scientists have to maintain a more or less elaborate per- sonal information storage and retrieval system. One major difficulty arises with the maintenance of a Selective Dis- semination of Information system, viz., finding and keeping capable indexers.

     summary: If the file is searched so that LC cards may be ordered by card number, there will be savings on card costs, since the first card in a set costs five cents less when ordered by number than when ordered by author and title.3 It would be uneconomical to use this file only to obtain card numbers, however, since the cost of file mainte- nance and searching would offset the lessened cost of the cards. Cut to card size and punched (in the form referred to hereafter as proof slips), the charge is $185.

In using the book for reference it must also be borne in mind that surveys of the American publishing industry draw heavily from remm1scences, memoirs, garrulities, and biased company histories-all of which are notoriously irresponsible historical accounts -and that such surveys themselves are therefore replete with factual inaccuracies.

Obviously, their grades were somewhat higher than those of Drexel students, which tends to support the previous finding that Pratt was somewhat more selective in admis- sions than Drexel.

     summary: 2 To be more specific, it seems possible to view the array of biblio- graphic devices developed to provide ac- cess to social science knowledge as a constituting subsystem of the larger com- munication system in social science. 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.

     summary: ... it is a curious anomaly that reference work, which so many librarians regard as the highest form of library service, should remain the most ill-defined and poorly recorded area of our work and service.1 From history we know that reference service was not the traditional function of the library. The burden of this message might be particularly applicable to the spectrum of our writings on the subject of reference services.

     summary: 4 Not only was no impetus given to the growth of library collections during much of the British period, but the system it- self discouraged the development of worthy collections. It is easy to conclude that more money for library collections and facilities would furnish the entire solution to existing problems.

     summary: The understanding acquired through these ef- forts in planning library assignments, re- inforced by the result of the small sample study, led to assignments in the following year which represented a new approach. The project called for participation of the project staff in the planning of college courses and cooperation with the faculty in devising assignments which would involve extensive and meaningful student use of library resources.

     summary: If there is any critical comment on the presentation, it may have to do with the fact that not enough emphasis has been placed on the role of the states (govern- mental units between national and local levels) and national governments with re- spect to metropolitan library planning. Because one of the major problems facing the profession in general and public library administrators in particular at this period in library history relates to metro- politan and suburban problems, it is es- pecially helpful to have this information so well organized and presented.

      flesch: 43
     summary: tential for professional service, the toler- ance for individual needs will be most sharply curtailed, the client service mini- mized, and the professional values most seriously threatened. 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.

     summary: Standard mobile units, such as those currently in use in many public library systems, are as large as 10' x 35'; the cost of these units, including shelving, lighting, air-conditioning, and heating, is approximately $7,500 to $8,000. 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.

     summary: Because of the growing standardization of medical classification being brought about by the rapidly growing number of new medical libraries, the Cunningham and other privately originated medical systems will probably die out except in some of the large research collections (where the cost of reclassification would be prohibi- tive). It has now become the only system other than that of the Na- tional Library of Medicine specifically de- signed for medical libraries and in use among more than a few such libraries.

     summary: The section on sorting explains, among many other things, how to recognize acid migration, how case bindings are made and thus what to do with books that are loose in their cases, how to distinguish between real and artificial leather in sorting books for oiling. Its permanance, its pleasing ap- pearance are singularly appropriate for a manual that will be in constant use by everybody concerned with preserving books.

     summary: A Report of the Summer Study on Information Networks Conducted by the Interuniversity Communications Council (EDUCOM). Mr. Licklider feels that the system should consist essentially of a network of networks and that one of the valuable things that EDUCOM can do is to maintain a central registry or directory of networks and related resources.

     summary: The present collection of papers by lead- ing lights in the somewhat esoteric world of library surveys is based upon a Con- ference on Library Surveys, held at Colum- bia University in June 1965. An old hand with another kind of survey, Leon Carnovsky, looks at studies on the use of library resources and facilities from the points of view of circulation trends by type of agency, by classes of material, and by reader.

     summary: Beginning with cataloging, a problem which would plague him during his entire stay at the British Museum, Panizzi demonstrated his capa- bility to the trustees and subsequently to a whole series of Parliamentary committees. Panizzi began his long association with the British Museum in 1831 when he was appointed Assistant Keeper of Printed Books.

     summary: Faculty are outright jealous; she has what faculty want most of all and what is rightfully theirs, not hers.8 If faculty find a high priority goal of theirs thwarted by librarians in their ownership of books, librarians harbor a deep resentment of the faculty's owner- ship of the students, at least of what he reads. 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.

H. Lawrence, Booth Tarkington, and H. G. Wells.) The breadth of Jake's influence is indicated by tributes from such eminences as Elmer Belt and Bern Dibner among the collectors, Lawrence Clark Powell and Robert Vosper among the librarians, and Winifred A. Myers and Warren R. Howell among the professional colleagues.

     summary: It is one of the few attempts thus far made to generalize a comprehensive printing history out of documented scholarly studies and sources, instead of from the reminis- cences and memoirs of old printers which, although interesting, are often inaccurate of fact and sometimes misleading of spirit. Recent years have seen a healthy increase in the quantity and quality of specific studies within the historical American printing industry—ac- counts of particular printers, or of printing in particular communities or in particular circumstances.

     summary: It was hoped that the undergraduate library could bring together in one place all aspects of library service relating to the undergraduate curriculum, thereby encouraging the student to learn. The problems of the undergraduate in using university collections were greatly com- pounded by the striking growth in the size of collections and an increasing emphasis on the acquisition of materials suitable for research.

     summary: The government by dollar support, however, obviously exerts strong influence on research policy. Attention paid to research by the OECD (Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development) and cooperative RA's (research organizations) in a number of European nations, as well as the increasing research activity in developing countries, and the development of research policy in two industrial complexes—Montecatini (chemistry) in Italy and Philips (electron- ics) in the Netherlands—are discussed.

Certainly these studies have contributed to the improve- ment of library service, but the meth- odology of library surveys established by the turn of the century has changed lit- tle.

     summary: This implies that librarians must accept the fact that full faculty status brings with it not only equal privileges but also the obligations of research and advanced degrees which have become synonymous with faculty status. In October 1967 the faculty senate of the State University of New York recom- mended that professional librarians be granted faculty status without faculty ti- tles but with all rights, privileges, and obligations thereof.

     summary: Running through the fabric of the Methodist Publishing House's past are some of the warp threads in the whole fabric of American history: the in- fluence of an expanding frontier; the op- timism and sectionalism which its broad horizons generated; inflation, depression, war, and industrial growth. It is a sad fact that so few comparable studies, indeed so few studies at all, exist of American publishing houses which have played an important part in our country's cultural history.

     summary: Two budgeting techniques recently introduced into universities from the defense .establishment are program budgeting and cost benefit analysis. Thus cost benefit analysis can help to produce a higher proportion of better decisions in resource allocation than can traditional methods of budgeting.

     summary: Although theoretically it would seem that students with previous experience or course work would be most successful on the examinations, the results did not bear this out. Appar- ently neither the students' previous ex- perience nor course work was sufficiently similar to Drexel course work to be par- ticularly helpful.

     summary: The basic premise of the study is that magnetic tape data bases are becoming available from a variety of na- tional sources and that they are a form of data which university libraries will begin to acquire. This study analyzes the basic cost fac- tors in the automation of library catalogs, with a separate examination of the influ- ence of typography on the cost of printed catalogs and the use of efficient automatic error detection procedures in processing bibliographic records.

      flesch: 48
     summary: Probably an appropriate admonition to institutions considering the develop- ment of residence hall libraries is to analyze their local situation in terms of campus geography, library attitudes, student and faculty interest, the philoso- phy of its student personnel program, and-not the least-the cost of main- taining such libraries in relation to over- all library support. If the provision of library collections in student housing facilities is to be ed- ucationally meaningful, such efforts re- quire careful planning, continuity of su- pervision and administration, and a sub- stantial commitment in funds on a re- curring basis.

     summary: College and Research Libraries JOHN M. 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.

Because of such great potential for in- creasing productivity in library opera- tions as this example of the mechaniza- tion of the catalog reveals, it is most de- sirable that any library computerization project should be an initial step in the direction of increased productivity ·and not solely an improvement in efficiency of an isolated procedure.

     summary: The terms properties and behavior of information, forces governing the trans- fer process, forces governing the flow of information, technology necessary, or means necessary to process information are frequently present in most defini- tions of information science. While without a doubt that mathematics will become increasingly essential in this field , let us keep in mind that information science as observed by Fairthorne, a mathema~ tician and information scientist in that order, is at present pre-mathematical and that its basic principles have not been discovered, let alone formulated 8 A. I. Mikhailov, and others.

     summary: The following strictures therefore represent an attempt to point out a policy for the screening of foreign orders forwarded to the Li- brary of Congress for cataloging priority.

      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.

     summary: At first the work seems difficult to use, especially where the number of citations (as under the head of the Russian Republic) is considerable, but the preface tells us that the order be- gins with the Marxist-Leninist classics· then, under each national heading lists of general works are followed by works on specific topics, and by a personal author section. Omitting works on the his- tory of science, the bibliography treats all areas from general works on the history of technology to such specific subjects as de- velopment of musical instruments, time- keepers, and the assembly line.

     summary: Shaffer measures librarianship against his restatement of the criteria for professional status and finds it wanting. Reduced to absurdity, the syllogism goes this way: The only ancient and true professions are law, theology and medicine; librarianship is not law, theology or medicine; therefore, librarianship is not a profession.

     summary: Narrative description is kept to a minimum, and is concentrated in the guide section of the IjG. THE SYSTEM OF description that is out- lined in this article is based on the fol- lowing elements: 1. that the record items comprising manuscript groups have serial char- acteristics, and that this feature should be the basis of both their ar- rangement and description; 2. that users of manuscript collections normally approach their subject by having previously associated it with names: personal, corporate, and geo- graphical; 3. that this name/ subject association on the part of the researcher is so spe- cific and special as to justify a min- imal effort at subject analysis on the part of the describer; 4. that comprehensive bibliographical control of the manuscript collection as a whole is preferable to a minute bibliographical control of single manuscript items, or of only a frac- tion of the manuscript groups that Mr. Berner is Archivist and Mrs. Bettis is Curator of Manuscripts at the University of Washington Libraries. 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.

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.

     summary: Academic Library Salaries in a Seven-State Area To learn more about their educational backgrounds and salaries, the writer undertook a survey of academic librarians in the seven up- per plains states of South Dakota, North Dakota, Minnesota, Iowa, Nebraska, Wyoming, and Montana. Evidently some librarians are not fa- miliar with faculty salaries at their in- stitutions.

Obviously, exhibition catalogues which fulfill an archival as well as a current information function and which today are of the first importance for art scholars, museum curators, dealers, and collectors will have to be gathered more quickly before they go out of print, and all parts of the world must be covered more systematically.

     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: This period saw the rise of American pub- lic, college, and university libraries from the base of the subscription library. With the growing emphasis on independent student learning, and the declining stress on classroom lecturing and text- book m emorization, the modern col- lege or university library is no less im- portant than the classroom and the lab- oratory as a place where learning is dis- seminated and advanced.

     summary: The answering service can accept inquiries on such matters as reference questions, location of materi- als, library holdings, requests to deliver books (paging service), and such mis- cellaneous items as futur e hours of the library, information regarding personnel on the staff and faculty , why the flags are flying at half-mast, and other in- formation desk type questions. Research libraries perform a desirable service by making the collection and the study facilities available during such an extensive pe- riod, but there is also a way of extend- ing professional personnel services at a very low cost during odd hours.

     summary: Research conducted on the blanket or- der plan in this report indicates that a re- duction in processing time of up to 20 per- cent can be anticipated by the proper use of an approval program. The re- sults were of interest and probably of great value to the participating libraries, but reporting on faculty attitudes toward existing library resources and services, on insight as to the level of faculty aware- ness of library services (p. 211) might have been better had it appeared separate- ly.

     summary: To the Editor: In the March, 1970, editorial, Dr. Dough- erty discusses, in addition to other topics, methods of improving library management as a way of alleviating professional discon- tent-especially among the younger pro- fessionals. Dougherty's suggestion is directed at academic libraries; this appears, however, to be too narrow a base upon which to work.

     summary: This need for security might also call for rotating or elected department head- ships in large libraries, and certainly for greater attempt than there has been in the past to reward a librarian both financially and psychically for being a good librarian rather than for the ad- ditional administrative duties he as- sumes. Modernizing the University Library Structure AMONG THE SEVERAL KINDS of change that appear to be in order in personnel management in university libraries, some have been described, others have not.

     summary: Very few government publications £nd their way to the depository libraries, and therefore many documents are missing from Arab national bibliographies. Publishing of printed cards and dis- tributing them to participating libraries of the Arab states would avoid the na- tional waste of hundreds of classifiers and catalogers processing the same title in hundreds of Arab libraries.

     summary: In Libraries, Readers and Book Selection, Jean Kujoth has endeavored to make some of this scattered material more readily available by gathering together forty-four recent journal articles which have some relevance for book selection in libraries. Most of the articles which appear in the first three sections, comprising more than half the book, are only indirectly concerned with book selection.

     summary: If it is alphabetical, and no copy of the order slip accompanies the book on receipt, a bibliographic search from the title page would seem necessary, the same as that for approval books searched against the depository file. A daily examination of in- terlibrary loan requests from other libraries, and from Stanford to other libraries , to Letters I 343 identify important lacunae, has convinced this observer that prediction of faculty and student needs is indeed a dubious enter- prise.

     summary: The Library Education Experimental Project ( LEEP) involved the establish- ment of a computer-based laboratory for library science students, utilizing the Li- brary of Congress MARC (Machine-Read- able Cataloging) magnetic tapes. This study of commuting student use of public libraries was confined to certain key public libraries in the New York coun- ties of Orange, Rockland, Sullivan and a section of Ulster.

     summary: Groups were established to explore these topics: network needs and development; net- work services; network technology; network organization; and network planning. At the conference on Interlibrary Communication and Information Networks held recently at Airlie House, a group of librarians, computerniks, and communi- cation experts gathered to review the state of the art of network development in the United States, to assess problems and prospects, and to provide a sense of direction to the eventual implementation of a national network system.

     summary: College and Research Libraries AMY S. 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.

     summary: This can be done through an item analysis of all 480 questions in the C.P.I., a technique that will tell which items were answered true by library students more often than is normally expected, and which points were ' answered false more often than usual. 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.

     summary: THE RATIONALE underlying the plan- ning of library facilities on a university campus requires some elaboration. Any librarian in preparing a program statement for new library facilities to serve the needs of both undergraduates, graduates, and an increasingly scholar- ship-conscious faculty, can only hope to make decisions that are valid.

     summary: It should be noted that the largest re- sponse category for faculty respondents was to do research for a publishable paper or book ( 21 percent), while more than 50 percent of the faculty came to do research for a publishable paper, read library material for self- improvement, or find and read ma- terial required for a course. 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.

As a result, there is very little or nothing-anywhere in the book-on content analysis, preparation of questionnaires, interviewing (except for depth interviews in a disaster study proj- ect) , experimental design (other than three pages from a 1950 article), analysis of data, statistical methods (apart from one selec- tion on general principles), sampling, and other such topics.

     summary: Richard West compiles the writings and criticism of J. R. R. Tolkien, whose mete- oric rise in popularity in this country fol- lowed the paperback reprinting of his tril- ogy, Lord of the Rings, in 1965. Interest in J. R. R. Tolkien extends far beyond the characters and plot of the Rings trilogy, but there is little doubt that the trilogy has become the focal point for seri- ous discussion of the man and his works.

     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.

     summary: Followers of this topic will no doubt be interested to know that Mr. Radford has al- so discovered several college library surveys which, in fact, were done earlier than 1938: one in 1926; and others in 1931, 1932, 1934, 1936, and 1937; the last five by Ran- dall. 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.

     summary: No one claimed to have saved any money doing anything by computer, and although the analysis of computer costs is, to be charitable, hair-raisingly casual, esti- mates of costs of doing by computer exactly the same things that had previ- ously been done manually were extreme- ly high (in one case, five times the cost).

     summary: Analysis of the 1,148 requests in the Maryland Study-using a definition of requests filled which allowed two weeks for the disposition of the requests -revealed, in total system terms, that 677 of the requests were filled; that is, network effectiveness could be charac- terized as 59.0 percent (system output over system input). 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.

In view of the lack of bibliographic tools dealing adequately with Jewish peri- odicals, this bibliography is most welcome and will probably be the standard refer- ence tool for German Jewish periodicals for many years.

     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: Charles Reich's (The Greening of Amer- ica) Consciousness III people may hold new insights into the relationships that ex- ist between people, but by denying the accumulated knowledge of Consciousness I and II people, the III's have entered a blind alley leading back to Consciousness I, for the corporate state (and its attendant accomplishments and failures) did not ap- pear by magic nor through evil intent. Therefore, while it is ap- propriate to develop library services to meet the particular needs of Conscious- ness III people, the groundwork for the succeeding levels must be laid at the same time.

The delegates of the Conference approved an eleven- page questionnaire which was sent to ev- ery public, research, and university library to gather additional information.

     summary: MANY LIBRARIANS HAVE LONG FELT that circulation counts reveal little about to- tal library use, regarding them as no more than rough indicators of dips and climbs in library use. Over-the-counter circulation, the claim has been, gives no indication of the true magnitude of library use since it takes no account of use within the li- brary.

Many subjective statements are made which contradict the authors' contention of the precision inherent in systems studies.

     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.

     summary: S. P. L. 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.

     summary: Probabilistic conclusions sug- gest certain educational activities be under- taken: ( 1) There is no justification to cre- ate a postmasters program to teach basic library techniques and library schools must incorporate skill development within the curriculum or on-the-job training will have to be continued; ( 2) two justifications for internship programs require establishment of programs either to teach students the op- erations of large library systems with an ex- pectation of employment, or to teach stu- dents the application of theoretical knowl- edge in a working environment aimed to- ward a speciality; ( 3) management and planning tasks for libraries cannot be ade- quately taught in a one-year postmasters educational program; and ( 4) the distinc- tive feature of medical librarianship is its environment, and the librarian must com- prehend how biomedical information is generated and used and should attend con- ferences and seminars to gain this knowl- edge. 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.

     summary: My general thesis is that relatively, if not absolutely, the value of much of university libraries is overrated and that, particularly in times of dwindling re- sources, the university library must no longer be considered sacrosanct, that its claims on the university budget need to be questioned as much or more than competing claims. 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.

     summary: Because expenditure of staff time is an important factor in such participation, various kinds of union lists are examined in order to determine the most effective and least costly ways in which a library can have a list and attendant benefits for its own purpose, and also join in cooperative efforts. 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.

Considering the paucity of materials on French libraries that have been published in English, this book is a useful entry into a rather embarrassing void.

       words: 706
      flesch: 54
     summary: Issued in 1968 under the auspices of a governmental com- mittee, La Lecture Publique was a study of the state of French library service, and is to French libraries what the Public Li- brary Inquiry was to the American scene. Considering the paucity of materials on French libraries that have been published in English, this book is a useful entry into a rather embarrassing void.

     summary: Issued in 1968 under the auspices of a governmental com- mittee, La Lecture Publique was a study of the state of French library service, and is to French libraries what the Public Li- brary Inquiry was to the American scene. The in- cluded citations were identified through a literature search of Library Literature, 1955-1968, several existing bibliographies on library cooperation covering the period 1940-1954, and an announcement which appeared in the major library journals re- questing descriptions of cooperative inter- library projects.

Storch University of Buffalo Buffalo, New Y ark Corbin's contention, in defense of the computer (CRL 32:316, July 1971) that man being fallible, the machine must be fallible, supports rather than refutes Ma- son's argument against unqualified accept- ance of the computer for library use. It would probably be interesting but exasperating to try to define library use.

     summary: The findings in a survey of faculty use of government documents at Case Western Reserve University indicate ·how document users locate the materials they need, the users' familiarity with standard indexes to public docu- ments, the age of government publications most frequently consult- ed, and other patterns of use. A survey conducted in 1969 h)[ Sally Bradshaw and Anne Blankenship of Weber State College Li- brary in Ogden, Utah found that docu- ment depositories continue to be as di- versified in their approaches to organiz- ing documents collections as reported earlier by Eastin.

     summary: In the area of current book selection our library receives books weekly on ap- proval. There are those who would take issue with this, but I think the problem is in the mechanics of par- ticular plans, not the principle.1 An ap- proval plan enables a library to acquire a large part of current book production for inspection, a very useful first step in book selection.

Because contemporary reviews of American fiction for the period indicat- ed have not previously been accessible through standard reference works, this attempt to direct the researcher to just this type of secondary source material is welcome.

     summary: Evaluative mea- sures used include: processing time lags, quality of the product, enterability or compatibility of the processing center prod- uct to previous processing, staffing patterns of member libraries, production considera- tions, and costs of processing. The reviewer was particularly pleased to see the following comment regarding processing time lags and member library complaints: In order to gain a true pic- ture of the additional delay incurred by dealing with a processing center, a library should first have a documented concept of the time it takes a book to clear its own technical processing depa1tment.

     summary: The bulk of the manu- scripts date from the nineteenth century, with the chief emphasis on American eco- nomic history in the Middle Atlantic States, the natural result of Du Pont involvement with the business and industrial life of the young Republic. Printing, proof- reading, spelling, alphabetization, and ac- curacy of page references have been main- tained at a high level.

     summary: They have numerous volumes of standards, but none of them deal with libraries, library personnel, or anything to do with librarianship. 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.

     summary: At the 1972 Midwinter Meeting, ALTA presented a request to the Executive Board to permit it to retain part of its oWn dues, and to act inde- pendently of ALA in matters on which the division was not in agree- ment with official ALA policy and pronouncements. While members can agree on ACONDA's broad principles of intel- lectual freedom or minorities' recruitment, we frequently bog down over specific priorities.

     summary: Kilson maintains that militant ad- vocates of black studies programs who refute the essentially interdisciplinary na- ture of black studies have little to con- tribute to the formal organization of these programs. It is impossible to predict where black studies will take us, for there is no common blueprint for developing and maintaining black studies programs . !

     summary: It should be stressed again that Professor Saracevic is not alone in defining information science more broadly than he conceives it in practice. Because most of these papers have not previously been collected, and because their general quality is so high, this book should be pur- chased by every library that has even a minimal collection in the area of librarian- ship or information science.

     summary: In the last few years, my entire orientation on the question of building library collections has been-in library committee meetings, at professional library meetings, and in my writings-to- ward making more efficient use of the books we have and by making more efficient allo- cation of the book budget. Not until we have this solution can we ef- fectively reduce our budgets, or pacify the faculty at large who are after all the ones whose demand for large libraries accounts for library budgets which everyone except men like Ralston say aren't large enough.

     summary: We are told by some authorities that a managerial revolution based on participative management is in progress and that the death knell is sounding for the hierarchical form of organization. Two pow- erful ideas and trends have begun to emerge out of this confused and stressful situation: participative management and unionization.

     summary: That is a much more difficult question to answer, though there is more study, talk, discussion, and planning go- ing on among university library staffs than outsiders might expect to find. However, much of the investigation does seem to revolve around three main points: the need for greater staff in- volvement in library decision-making (participative management), the need for some form of academic ·governance for professional staffs, and the prospec- tive unionization of library staffs.

     summary: In equa- tion [ 3] the preponderant influence upon library size is the number of faculty, and Reichard and Orsagh emphasize this as a particularly striking attribute of their findings. Numbers of students, both un- dergraduate and graduate, appear to be · negatively related to library size.

     summary: For ex- ample, in Table 1, at the University of Southwestern Louisiana, we expect the proportion of matching books charged out to be 42,905/129,883, or about 33 percent, but in actuality a larger pro- portion 53,222/129,883, or about 43 per- cent was charged. This hypothesis states that we expect no differences among the three propor- tions for matching books; those charged out, those left on tables, and those left on shelves.

     summary: Despite the low usage in some fields the library should continue to select foreign language materials and the library staff should increase its efforts to promote the use of the available bib- liographical and indexing tools. This information was collated against a variety of records and analyses of the actual library usage including a full year's borrowing and foreign language interlibrary loan transac- tions, Xerox copying of foreign language items, and the use inside the library of current foreign language and multilingual journals.

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.

     summary: Although acceptance and implemen- tation of library consortia have in- creased, little guidance has been avail- able to libraries interested in exploring the idea-no design data, no standards, and no models upon which institutions might base better library service through joint efforts. 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: To some extent this is bound to feed the publishing trade with new categories of titles, al- though this is perhaps less likely to af- fect research libraries than the paper- back textbook industry. If the number of doctoral programs no longer requiring a full-dress dissertation should really increase, one assumes that there would be some lessening of the pressures upon research libraries.

     summary: Certainly no scholarly history; but, on the other hand, no dull, heavily docu- mented compendium of minutiae in the ap- parent tradition of Canada's only other type of substantial library history, the doctoral dissertation. Has library classification, in- stead, become a manufacturing monopoly requiring intelligent and imaginative clas- sifiers at the factories but only skilled tech- nicians to install the ready-made product in individual libraries?-Paul S. Dunkin, Professor Emeritus, Rutgers University Gihoy, Marion, and Rothstein, Samuel, eds.

     summary: As We Remember It forms, therefore, an im- portant addition to the source materials of library history, and one may now hope that Dr. Rothstein, recently freed from oveiTiding administrative demands, will find the time and the incentive to produce a scholarly interpretation which would add perspective to the data, preserved with such foresight in these engaging memoirs. Try to remember, and if you remember, follow, follow, follow ... . Certainly no scholarly history; but, on the other hand, no dull, heavily docu- mented compendium of minutiae in the ap- parent tradition of Canada's only other type of substantial library history, the doctoral dissertation.

     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.

     summary: Corbin seems most comfortable in describing techniques appropriate to public libraries, and is aware of procedures useful to college li- braries of modest aims; the book is of little use to special or school libraries. 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.

How- ever, what professors Crowley and Chil- ders have done in exploring devices and methods applicable to the measurement of information services has serious and im- portant consequences for college and re- search libraries.

     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: 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. While the papers are un- even, contain much duplication (Gone With the Wind is constantly being trans- mitted by telefacsimile in two minutes but Ralph Shaw's slow messenger is nowhere to be seen), and too often consist of specu- lation about networks they do, in general, bear out Becker's conclusion that this is the most comprehensive source of information on networks available.

       words: 714
      flesch: 66
     summary: In colleges and universities where full faculty equivalency means competition on an even basis with high-powered academicians, most librarians stand only to lose. The threat of nontenure, which means for the faculty termination of employroent, hangs over the young like a sword of Damocles, and because of the high percentage of faculty already on tenure, denial of tenure to those coming up has become commonplace.

     summary: As of this date, university libraries, particularly those located in the Far West and Southwest, are in danger of being overwhelmed both by the qualita- tive change in their role with respect to support services to Mexican American studies and by the quantitative burden of literally thousands of new students at all levels who are seeking and What at present is merely a crisis may soon · turn into a disaster, if certain inadequa- cies of university libraries with respect to this minority group are not under- stood and resolved with appropriate li- brary acquisition and service programs.

     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.

        date: 1973-01-01
       words: 595
      flesch: 48
     summary: In addition to that data, the book provides descriptive material and guidelines for evaluation and development of automated library systems. The unique contribution of the volume would seem to lie in its summary of auto- mation projects in federal libraries since the other material, on system evaluation and on topics peripheral to the primary discus- sion, seems to duplicate what has. been cov- ered in several other monographs.

     summary: In conclusion, this reviewer would char- acterize the book as a successful initial at- tempt to codify a formalized methodology for the study of document transfer systems. The latter are useful tools for the study of information systems, but they remain intrinsically different.

     summary: Testifying in May 1970, witnesses point- ed to the legal distinctions between men and women for jury service (women in only 28 states . . serve under the same terms as men) ; and to differing penalties for men and women who commit identical crimes (the legislative rationale seems to have been that it required longer to reha- bilitate a female criminal than a male) .

     summary: It is in the definitions of browsing and browsability that we encounter Hyman's own contribution to the book: Browsing is that activity, subsumed in the direct shelf approach, whereby materials arranged for use in a library are examined in the reason- able expectation that desired or valuable items or information might be found among those materials as arranged on the shelves, and browsability is that characteristic of an open-shelf collection resulting from the arrangement of a library's materials that permits browsing. the problems related to direct access are peculiarly obdurate, and ... one might through any representative sampling of past studies, reconfirm their pervasive and still largely unresolved nature.

     summary: College and Research Libraries Continuing Education A national Delphi Study conducted this winter by Western Inter- state Commission for Higher Education predicted these major changes for postsecondary education in the next five to fifteen years: Social problems will get more attention; A greater proportion of students will enter vocational programs; Postsecondary education will be more accessible to all kinds of people; Faculty collective bargaining will be widely adopted; More and more students will continue education throughout their lifetime; More TV s, more computers, more of the other new technologies will be used in postsecondary education. It has been claimed that the changes facing postsecondary education today are the most sig- nificant since the Middle Ages.

Those libraries not having a separate LC unit still employ nonprofessionals for cataloging with LC copy.

     summary: In this regard, the task of library supervisors is no different from that of management personnel in other types of organizations. Even librarians with exposure to classes in li- brary administration at the graduate lev- el are often inadequately prepared for the myriad of personnel problems that inevitably accompany the supervisory role into which many are thrust.

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.

Is it possible that despite a reputation for being reluctant to respond quickly to changing needs, library schools will bestir themselves to facilitate · the re- training of people originally destined, as they thought, for conventional teach- ing positions?

     summary: Women should endorse local .and na- tional organizations aiming to effect equal employment opportunities for women-e.g. the National Organization of Women and the Professional Wom- en's Caucus. Women new to the library profession will see that there is opportunity for ad- vancement, and this will have a positive effect on their morale and goals, and for women already employed in the library sys.tem, this opportunity for personal growth and status will act as an incen- tive, making their jobs more flexible and more meaningful.

     summary: Another reason for examining the costs of card catalog systems in contrast to computer systems is the cost of de- centralization, where collections are di- vided among a variety of branch li- braries, resulting in increased costs. If the costs of card catalogs continue to rise and eventually meet the declining costs of computer usage, then at some point in this decade, economic pressures and other factors will force libraries to.

     summary: The Code of Ethics for Librarians, by its .very tone, suggests that librarians should not rock the boat-at l~ast, not without an order from the ca ptain.18 Article one of the Code stresses the librarian's obligation, not to know, criticize, or independently judge, but to submit to 'governing au- thority, to the library constituency, and to the library as an institution. Librarians hip is not a profession.

       title: Concepts and Subject Headings: Their Relation in Information Retrieval and Library Science (Book Review)
        date: 1973-07-01
       words: 1417
      flesch: 58
     summary: The three specific objectives are: ( 1) to determine if key social science terms are connotatively similar to subject headings, ( 2) to deter- mine if such similarity, or lack of it, facili- tates retrieval, and ( 3) to determine if the degree of similarity varies for different types of social science terms. The study examines the meaning and function of headings in the area of social science, the main purpose being to determine the congruence b etween terminology in the social sciences and sub- ject headings used by libraries.

        date: 1973-07-01

      flesch: 58
     summary: The results indicate a need for a philosophical change within library science to perhaps a more contemporary approach. Chapter one compares 665 general social science terms with those found in the Library of Congress Subject Heading List; chapter two relates the subject heading and inter- disciplinary social science terms; chapter three compares subject headings and terms in sociology; chapter four compares subdi- visions in social science with subject head- ings; chapter five compares the term val- ue; and chapters six and seven deal with the degree to which subject headings refer to books basic to the study of the field.

     summary: Too often we have heard sentiments expressed that there is too much theory and not enough down-to-earth practical knowledge imparted in library schools. If library schools are, indeed, failing to educate adequately, isn't it as much the fault of the practicing librarian as of the teacher?

     summary: In seven tightly-organized chapters the author, who is senior lecturer in informa- · tion work at Liverpool Polytechnic, covers the fascinating historical background to the NLL; its staffing, stock, and records; the operational service; and the ancillary activ- ities (translations, courses, etc.) which con- stitute some of the best examples of the NLL' s creative, flexible, and undogmatic approach to modern library service. 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: How- ever, patrons unfamiliar with library prac- tices cite publications by personal author, going to considerable lengths to identify some individual to whom the book can be attributed, and the resulting citation by personal author is difficult to track down in the subject-oriented index to the Month- ly Catalog. To a limited extent it is possible to find personal names in the Monthly Catalog prior to September 1947, when the reor- ganized Catalog ceased to index authors or other names associated with a specific pub- lication.

     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.

The second problem-availability of analytical techniques or models in the form of computer programs-requires for its solution better management of research efforts, and more cooperation ( legislated or otherwise) among librar- ies and information systems.

Since ACRL is proposing to represent academic librarians, it should be deter- mined whether academic librarians not only support the concept .

     summary: For people having limited contact with documents, these biennial compilations will be a reminder of the on-going and tremen- dously worthwhile contribution of the gov- ernment in the field of reference materials. The policies of information retriev- al for media, or nonprint materials, are de- veloped by extending existing cataloging policies to the new forms.

     summary: Samuel Rothstein, library educator, sketched briefly some of the academic and cur- ricular changes of the last century in higher education, which have led to the rise of a trained, service-directed class of professionals in modem libraries. If publishers find it worth their while to cooperate, and if libraries across the country are willing to accept CIP copy, then this book will simply be a record of past failures.

     summary: In letters to the editors of Library ] our- nal and several other library periodicals over the past few years, I have expressed considerable scepticism about the advisabil- ity of recruiting unemployed college teach- ers for library work. Great caution will be needed to ensure that peo- ple already in library work are not disad- vantaged by the recruitment of Ph.D.'s.

     summary: Until the implications of this basic proposition of par- ticipatory management theory are clearly understood and faced up to, the achievement of faculty status and professorial titles will b.e a somewhat hollow victory. Neverthe- less, it is a problem which must be squarely faced if we are to avoid a situ- ation in which the promise inherent in faculty status and a truly profes- sional working environment becomes, in the end, a :rn,ess of pottage.

     summary: Once a library has de- cided how far along the continuum of possible data services it wishes to move (and this decision will inevitably be col- ored by the nature of any existing ser- vice at one's location ) , the question of how to finance these new activities must be confronted. 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: An article, which ap- peared in the June 1971 issue of Sepia magazine entitled The Black Book Boom, estimated $60,000,000 as the cur- rent retail value of black books being published. Frequently, book reviews pub- lished in periodicals other than profes- sional library journals do not help li- brarians with book selection.

     summary: Various aspects of the structure of libraries are analyzed in relation to information desk services with some differences in ser- vices found between academic and public libraries. Jane P. Kleiner sur- veyed the member libraries of the Asso- ciation of Research Libraries in 1967 regarding information desk services and reported her results and conclusions in the November 1968 issue of College and Research Libraries .1 To broaden the knowledge base con- cerning information desks, the author conducted a mail survey of large aca- demic and public libraries in the spring of 1972.

Auerbach could have performed a real service for readers (human, that is) by put- ting together a chapter summarizing the human and design problems associated with building microform viewers.

     summary: The study is based largely on responses to 362 questionnaires which were sent to area specialist bibliographers, library ad- ministrators, and faculty members who are teaching in area study programs in ARL institutions. Also, library ad- ministrators were noticeably less enthusias- tic than the bibliographers about their at- tending national area studies meetings or going on buying trips to their areas.

      flesch: 52
     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.

     summary: College and Research Libraries ROSE SEGRE University Libraries in Italy: The Crisis Persists Italian university libraries are poorly organized and underutilized de- spite efforts by professional librarians, who are few in number and given little of the deserved consideration in an atmosphere in which the growing importance of the library in the field of learning is not always understood. 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.

These disciplines may constitute fund- ing units; in .turn, the general frame- work of funding units should for the most part reflect the academic structure of the university.2 Each funding unit should be assigned a proportion of the total number of li- brary-resource units to be acquired.

     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: In case four, Foreign Folklore, the principal ques- tions addressed to the student are whether folklore materials are essential in the teach- ing of Spanish and appropriate for a college library; what obligation the college librari- an has in aiding an instructor to obtain ma- terials she deems necessary for her teach- 372 I Recent Publications i'ng; who is responsible for setting acquisi- tions policy; whether folklore is a disci- pline; and abstracting and indexing services in the field of folklore ( p.34). Thus, the :first case, The Chinese Cataloger, is concerned solely with personnel policy questions which do not in the least depend upon the fact that the staff member involved happens to be competent in Chinese (p.16-17).

The oft-repeated platitude that runs The major problems are not technological, but organi- zational and administrative seems depress- ingly confirmed by recurring comments on the problems of properly financing coopera- tive activity; or persuading librarians to give up some control of their operations and services; of being dependent upon a computer center which has many other mis- sions and user groups; of increasing user ex- pectations which then are not fulfilled; of whether and how to charge for services, etc.

     summary: Be- low, David Easton's descriptive frame- work is used to raise the normative ques- tions which library decision makers should be addressing.15 Easton defines politics as the authori- tative allocation of values for a society. We should ask, as does Easton, what institutions exist to filter and chan- nel demands to library decision makers?

     summary: In the former, success would be a function of how ef- fectively a library met the requirements for library services of the larger organi- zation; as a coalition of professional or- ganizations, the question would be how well they met society's archival require- ments and its need for materials and in- formation. Among the alternatives is library cooperation, which is not only an ex- pression of the professional ethic but is a valid mechanism for broadening the base of library services.

     summary: In addition, as Gibb's study notes, an in- crease in group size steadily increases the proportion of group members reporting feelings of threat and less willingness to initiate contributions. Varied attitudes and presuppositions of group members force individual contributors to think out and jus- tify proposed solutions; also, the different perspectives of group members allow them to see ramifi- cations of solutions not identifi- able to a single individual.

     summary: The communication network that Hayes proposes would use the hardware and some software of an existing time-sharing system to facilitate the trans- mittal of interlibrary loan requests and oth- er ILL messages; to refer requests to bibli- ographic data centers for better citations than appear on the request forms and for location information; to serve as a clearing house for billing and payment of fees; to provide statistical reports on interlibrary loan traffic and workload; and to provide access to on-line data bases. 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.

     summary: Part of the problem is that an all-encom- passing book on slide libraries must speak to museums, instructional media centers, and teaching departments in art and other academic subjects, as well as to libraries in the traditional mold. There has been no attempt before in the literature to create a complete guide to the establishment and management of slide libraries; this is a commendable first effort by Betty J o Irvine.

When the ten best-selling American novels for each year from 1895 to 1965 are assigned points (ten for first place, nine for second place, etc.), and their authors' na- tive states are determined, the total points amassed by Indiana authors are second only to those of New York State.

     summary: The activities in which profes- sional staff are engaged are, in the eyes of most faculty, ancillary to the main- stream activities of teaching and · re- search. They prevent us from recognizing that for better or worse the university is made up of and functions for a congeries of interest groups which do not share a ba- sic consensus about the institution's val- ues, goals, and processes, and who are quite regularly in conflict.

     summary: In addition, the university had discontinued all automatic step in- creases in salaries, which meant that the gap between senior faculty salaries and those of librarians and junior faculty reflected a greater disparity each succes- sive year, since each individual's percent- age increase was computed from his base salary. 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.

      flesch: 56
     summary: Just as it has taken the aerospace industry from 1903 to 1973 to move from Kitty Hawk to a probe of Mars, it is likely we shall see (in some shorter span than that sev- enty years) library technology having the impact and capabilities that its most enthusiastic proponents advocate for it. In critical budget times, answers to the urgent fiscal problems confront- ing administrators and trustees are not likely to come from the presently avail- able hardware and systems convenient- ly described as library technology.

       title: The Use and Training of Nonprofessional Personnel at Reference Desks in Selected College and Universities
        date: 1975-05-01
       words: 3863
      flesch: 54
     summary: From a tally of reference desk hours reported, it was found that 33 percent of the total hours the reference desk was staffed was filled by nonprofessionals (reference assistants and student assistants), while 67 percent of the total time was filled by professionals. Although students have been, and are being used at reference desks in many college and university libraries, this resource has not been developed as fully as perhaps it could be.

      flesch: 67
     summary: STUDY OF CIRCULATION STATISTICS Circulation statistics for periods be- fore and after the start of LENDS were analyzed to determine if the avail- ability of LENDS was related to an in- crease in library books circulated to fac- ulty. It can be seen that LENDS had an ef- fect on the three main ways in which faculty obtain library books: ( 1) tele- phone requests increased from 0 to 21.6 percent; ( 2) books obtained by going to the library decreased by 16.4 percent; and ( 3 ) books obtained by sending someone to the library decreased by 7.8 percent.

     summary: First, providing biblio- graphic services is a reference function; and, second, in order to give users fullest advantage of total library services this office should not be separate from, or in competition with, other reference functions of the library. FUNCITONS OF THE DATA SERVICES LmRARIAN The function of this person (called information services librarian in some institutions) can be broken down into five areas: coordination, promotion, training, searching, and consultation.

     summary: While the counter cul- ture never produced the impact of an invasion of Centaurs (just as America never c'greened), there is no doubt that a pervasive skepticism about science per- sists in the minds of many students to- day. Since many students, as a mere func- tion of their age, are inexperienced, they want to know how.

     summary: The major policy tested was the impact of .a one-hour limit on reserve books. As a broad generalization, the full data in Tables 1 through 3 also suggest that to move from virtually complete service with some waiting to virtually complete service without delay would, in general, require about a 60 percent increase in reserve books.

     summary: The entry for each serial consists of an annotation with most of the following ele- ments: contents (describing the nature of the serial whose title is not self-explana- tory); variation in title; frequency, or bib- liographical history, complete since 1961 and less detailed for the earlier period; numbering irregularities where required; cross-references to other related titles in the guide; mention of indexes, both those of the serial itself and indexing services which include it (notably those issued by the Instituto Brasileiro de Bibliografia e Documenta9ao) ; and finally citations to other bibliographical works which provide additional information or location of copies in American or British libraries. Only those who have themselves under- taken the compilation of library guides, bib- liographies, union lists, and similar biblio- graphical tools can fully appreciate the myriad details they contain and the amaz- ing number of questions and discrepancies (apparent or real) which must be resolved.

     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: It has been suggested that such plans place considerable reli- ance on curriculum as a controlling fac- tor on library collections. The library whose holdings of the sample were most duplicated, pro- portionately, in other libraries was li- brary 12, with 64 percent of its total holdings held on the average by each of the other twenty-one libraries.

     summary: Penalizing errors and inciting defensiveness not only will discourage initiative but also will pro- mote the concealment of mistakes, thereby hindering communication and providing a distorted view of opera- tions.17 Finally, the ultimate expression of Theory Y management may be realized if there are opportunities for an em- ployee to identify his responsibilities with his desire for self -actualization, Maslow's highest level of motivation.

     summary: A defensible profession- al position classification must rational- ize, first, the optimum use of profes- sional personnel as distinct from sup- port staff and, second, the ranking of professional positions on an ordina·l scale in terms of key factors of profes- sional service. The fourth assumption is that ranking factors for professional positions must relate to those general factors which identify the positions as professional.

     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.

     summary: Recognition of our limits must increase our awareness of the need to structure the library within those limits so that the best · possible service can be provided to library users. Slote's book, basically a reworking of his frequently cited dissertation, shows that the fiction collections of several New Jersey public libraries conform in general to the law of scattering observed in other sub- ject areas and other kinds of libraries.

Because the provision of library ser- vices rests so heavily upon library staff, special attention was focused on the ex- tent to which librarians were specifically .assigned the responsibility for serving EOP students and faculty.

     summary: A contrary view, not specifically related to libraries, is expressed by Strauss, who cites four possible dysfunctional aspects of decision making by groups: individuals whose opinions have been rej.ected by the group may be alienated; the ex- pectations aroused by group participa- tion lead to further demands that man- agement cannot always satisfy; the pro- cess of group decision making may prove frustrating to several in the group; though participation niay bring about group cohesiveness, cohesiveness might be turned against, as well as in favor of, management.24 Bundy sees relief from tension through the formation in academic li- braries of departments modeled on those found elsewhere in academic in- stitutions. believed that manage- ment should be dyadic; that is, manage- ment and its employees should share decision making .in approximately equal amounts.

He defines the ultimate goal of the public library as independent study for all; he believes that reference li- brarians should initiate inquiry rather than merely answer the questions put to them; he has fathered the library-college which seeks to increase effectiveness of student learning through use of library-centered in- dependent study, and he has vigorously promoted audiovisual unity with other li- brary resources as a means to extending in- dependent learning down into the second- ary and elementary grades.

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: College and Research Libraries WILLIAM L. COHN An Overview of ARL Directors, 1933-1973 This study presents a description for the period 1933-1973 of direc- tors of U.S. academic libraries that are members of the Association of Research Libraries, comparing earlier and present directors in terms of academic preparation, age, sex, and destination upon leaving a directorship. ARL directors are not showing any dramatic increases in doc- torates held in the light of the very large increases in our contemporaries with the D.L.S. (used in this study for all doctorates in library science).

     summary: Missing factors include num- ber of faculty, number of charges for the same title, reserve book use, use of the periodicals collection, graduate work offered, need for a wide range of titles, and use of books outside one's discipline. Are we adding books to the collec- tion that are useful?

     summary: However, since the num- ber of Ph.D.s granted by them is rela- tively few, subject Ph.D.s continue to fill the gaps in administration and teach- ing. It attempts to assess the present extent to which subject Ph.D.s are employed in librarianship, to gauge the influx of subject Ph.D.s into library schools, to compare the attitudes of ed- ucators with those of librarians in re- gard to ·this phenomenon, and to dis- cover practical opportunities and limita- tions in libraries for subject Ph.D.s.

        date: 1976-03-01
       words: 1408
      flesch: 58
     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.

They would do well instead to confine themselves to a perfectly respect- able and useful role as specialized agencies dealing with books and with information gleaned from books.

     summary: Delavenay declares: As regards access to books, 70 per cent of the inhabitants of the globe are underdeveloped. Even more alarming is the impact of the world population explosion in the 1950s and 1960s which has meant that the number of books per readers in the under- developed countries has actually decreased!

     summary: Classification in the somewhat pragmatic terms in which it is generally practiced in American academic libraries is limited to the arrangement of books on library shelves by means of general schemes of biblio- graphic classification, most often the Dewey Decimal Classification or that of the Li- brary of Congress. 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: Most remark- able of all, he recognizes and points out clearly that this new approach, while po- tentially extremely fruitful, provides only a partial view and leaves out of the discus- sion some very important aspects of librari- anship and human knowledge. He structures a viable approach to a field of intellectual endeavor which, in common with several newly emerging fields of study, represents a confluence of several older dis- ciplines and new concepts.

     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: A random sampling of en- tries indicates that both guides have been carefully revised with many new works and editions cited and obsolete ones deleted. Although Dunkin purports to be writing for the armchair bibliographer (even de- fining justification for the novice), this book will interest largely those with back- ground in bibliography, and who in turn can add their comment to the reflections of the author-and who will argue with the author's contention that one of the most im- portant uses of bibliography is certainly in better cataloging.

In addition, the evaluations of the effects of bargaining, both written by library directors, deal with library staffs in general and are apprehensive in attitude to- wards governance, arbitration, accountabil- ity, and other negotiable issues.

     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: In a recent essay Doralyn Hickey ob- served that library services are designed . It is also interesting to compare successive editions of two of the bibles of university library adminis- tration and to note not only the amount of space given to library organization but more especially to the change in the treatment of the subject.

     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: A study of circula- tion records of books purchased be- tween July 1971 and June 1973 also supports other findings that after initial interest the circulation of the majority of new books drops close to zero. However, to achieve this goal, libraries buy, process, and use up shelf space with a multitude of other books that are not wanted.

     summary: College and Research Libraries • MATHILDE V. ROVELSTAD Open Shelves/Closed Shelves in Research Libraries This article traces the traditional method of making books accessible through their topical arrangement on library shelves, outlines the rea- sons for the abandonment of this method in European research li- braries, explores its modified reappearance in postwar academic li- braries, and cites modern arguments against the practice of making an entire research collection available on open shelves. Open access libraries were the exception in France and Ger- many, not to mention southern Euro- pean countries.

As Arthur Spingarn assembled his vast personal li- brary of black literature during the first half of this century, he knew early that bib- liography, like book collecting, is never an end in itself.

     summary: After all, if one agrees that rare books and special collections constitute a special cate- gory of materials requiring different treat- ment from the mass of library materials as to acquisition, processing, preservation, and exploitation, then problems are seen to emerge which are indigenous to the materi- al, not endemic to ·a geographical point in space and time. Two apparently mutual irreconcilable concepts characterize rare book librarian- ship-custodianship and exploitation.

     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.

     summary: I 531 532 I College & Research Libraries • November 1976 brary growth to the future efficacy of the university library was not lost upon Fremont Rider: In fact, this may be asserted as almost axiomatic: unless a college or univer- sity is willing to be stagnant, unless it is willing not to maintain its place in the steady flow of educational devel- opment, it has to double its library in size every sixteen years, or there- abouts.a Here, Rider appropriated the truism that there exists a direct correlation be- tween continuous library growth and the educational effectiveness of any uni- versity, combined it with his conclusion about the past rate of library growth, and thereby constructed a seemingly in- contestable argument from which he ex- trapolated his hypothesis about the rate of future library growth. The 1965 Purdue study of library growth in a sense verified Rider's hypathesis and its use as a predictive tool.

Near- ly one-third of the book's text (seventy- eight pages) is devoted to detailed descrip- tions and/ or illustrative quotations from fiction, poetry, and drama involved in American obscenity cases since 1890 (which, the author claims, was the begin- ning of both a sexual revolution in Amer- ican fiction and of the first really substan- tial effort to censor by law and legal action such fiction without regard to literary mer- it).

     summary: Few would deny that many librarians, including those whose positions carry spe- cific responsibility for the task, know less than they should about library operations. For instance, the statement is made that the new low cost of video equip- ment (a portable black-and-white camera- recorder combination available for about $2,000) makes this equipment attractive to many libraries.

In her introduction, Chen repeats some familiar claims about the value of opera- tions research techniques, i.e., that they contributed mightily to Allied successes in World War II, and that an increasing number of experts have become persuaded that the procedures of operations research would be effective in solving some of the problems of the public sector.

     summary: Perhaps primarily non-librarians, such as government officials who are planning na- tional documentation centers and informa- tion infrastructures. In the chapter on the classification of local maps, the author takes on the prob- lems of very small areas within cities and parishes and suggests using the British na- tional topographic series numbering (na- tional grid) at scales up to 1 : 1,250 to break down these areas; this is an obvious solution for a country that has such a de- tailed topographic series.

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: STUDIES HAVE FOCUSED on faculty at- titudes regarding librarian-faculty rela- tionships and faculty lack of awareness about the services librarians offer.1 Li- brarians are often more aware of fac- ulty than of student perceptions. This article pre- sents a study of an area neglected by re- search: student perceptions about the roles, duties, and functions of academic librarians.

James A. Hennessy's study on urban in- formation management requires very care- ful reading and a background knowledge of British local and national government to be fully understood, and this paper may be be- yond the reach of many library students particularly in the U.S.A. Elizabeth Orna presents a clear and far-sighted view of the structure and inner workings of an indus- trial training board and the importance to the development of an effective ser\rice for an organization.

     summary: CoMMUNITY COLLEGE library- learning resource directors are assuming a new role, not only for the administration of library material in all forms, but in pro- viding a learning environment and assisting instructors with multiple teach- ing strategies. In an earlier study the prediction was made that, as the junior college becomes more distinct, it is probable that previous experience will be college library experi- ence rather than school library experi- ence.11

     summary: College and Research Libraries RONALD F. DOW Academic Librarians: A Survey of Benefits and Responsibilities This article summarizes a survey of 166 librarian positions in forty- one colleges and universities which offer faculty status to librarians. The chapter reasoned that the most effective means of present- ing the case for librarians to other fac- ulty and administrators on campus would be to reinforce each position con- cerning a faculty right or responsibility with evidence for the stance in the form of data gathered from institu- tions claiming faculty status for librari- ans.

     summary: After performing a nearly fruitless literature search on the subject of reference collection policies, the committee decided to survey other university libraries for ideas and re- quested reference collection policies from sixty American and Canadian uni- versities which, like San Diego State University, have an enrollment in excess of 20,000 students. Reference librarians who are subject bibliographers are responsible for their areas of specialization.

     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.

Few science librarians would deny the repeated assertions that book reviews are a valuable means of keeping abreast of current research and of evaluating and se- lecting new acquisitions.

     summary: If the effects of recent finan- cial cut-backs in academic library ac- quisitions are being investigated, it seems appropriate to measure gross changes for ARL libraries as a whole. It is clear that ARL' s dramatic statement on additions to ARL library collections, quoted earlier, is not supported by the data.

     summary: This slender volume covers the historical development of management theory and discusses, under the following headings, each of the functions which are carried out in the management of organizations: plan- ning, organizing, staffing, directing, and controlling the operation. Further reading along these suggested lines would provide an excellent basic education in management theory.

     summary: The ref- erence book type strives for comprehen- siveness in its listing and annotations; Malinowsky's Science and Engineering Ref- erence Sources and Jenkins' Science Refer- ence Sources are familiar examples. Discussion of com- puterized data bases reflects the relative ab- sence at the time of writing of on-line services familiar to U.S. readers.

     summary: Among the articles selected are such classics in Hebrew printing history as Joshua Bloch's Early Hebrew Printing in Spain and Portugal, Venetian Printers of Hebrew Books, Hebrew Printing in Riva di Trento, Hebrew Printing in Naples, and The Library's Roman Hebrew In- cunabula. 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: In the extended analysis of library evaluation, a relationship is found-par- ticularly in the perception of library staff- between library effectiveness and staff satis- faction (e.g., participation). While libraries or librarians cannot forcibly penetrate the classroom, many have taken leadership roles and have implement- ed successful programs both in and out of the classroom.

     summary: While libraries or librarians cannot forcibly penetrate the classroom, many have taken leadership roles and have implement- ed successful programs both in and out of the classroom. The Schuster book on the other hand tries to cover the whole library-college concept and its application especially at the elementary and junior high level.

     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: From the 349 responses to the questionnaire, the authors compiled data on library regulations as they relate to users, circulation, resources, interlibrary loan, reprography, and administration.

     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.

     summary: Davinson' s intent to convey to the reader an international understanding of disserta- tions as information sources is seldom at- tained; the reader often is left with a hodgepodge of disjointed information. 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.

       words: 2161
      flesch: 66
     summary: The estimate will not give us an indica- tion of the rate value, but it will allow us to compute the percentage of books that actually are being used by the pa- trons for circulation. The librarian proceeds by conduct- ing a random sampling of books from the stacks and circulation and then cal- culates the proportionate number of books having last-circulation dates in each sample.

     summary: Student enrollment, number of courses offered, number of graduate students, and other variables that are related to library costs are not considered in this method. The National Center for Higher Education Manage- ment Systems ( NCHEMS) recommends that library costs be allocated according to compensation adjusted by faculty ac- tivity analysis.

     summary: The research methodology was a survey of journal publishers and academic, public, and special libraries for 1969, 1971, and 1973. Every librarian is familiar with the eco- nomic trend of journal prices, and nearly everyone would like to know the ultimate effects of this trend.

     summary: Wright correctly states that the importance of private research libraries will loom more important as the strength of the university research libraries dwindles. This it has done with admirable clarity, arranging fifteen issues into five clusters: government information; informa- tion in commerce; interaction between tech- nology and government; international impli- cations; preparing for the information age.

     summary: It became evident early on that this view was inadequate, so a meeting was arranged by the National Commission on Libraries and Information Science (NCLIS) in July 1976 between members of the committee and representatives of various types of li- braries and information services and public and private agencies. Wright correctly states that the importance of private research libraries will loom more important as the strength of the university research libraries dwindles.

     summary: The papers by Freedman, Gorman, and Malinconico, all of whom address aspects of catalog production, give an excellent overview of the complexities of the decision process involved in this highly technical as- pect of library operation. With the current trend toward develop- ment of network services and their integra- tion into library operations in a cost effective manner, it is refreshing to have Veneziano and Aagaard chronicle their ex- periences developing the in-house online system at Northwestern University.

     summary: To suggest that any regular em- ployee in Japanese libraries today earns a monthly salary of $14 is preposterous. The only Ph.D. program in library science in Japan began in 1975 at the Library School of Keio University, and none of its four candidates has re- ceived the degree as of April 1977, its sec- ond anniversary.

     summary: The policies selected for reprinting are in three categories: public library policies, academic library policies, and partial li- brary policies by category. The German handbook's essay on library instruction draws on American models; al- though it does little more than summarize current thinking in German libraries on this important topic, I found this straight- forward overview preferable to the article in the Encyclopedia, which is flawed with trendy social science jargon.

     summary: It is true that, barring catastrophe, there are demographic certainties ahead-for example, a startling reduction in· the number of eighteen-year-olds over the next decade-that have profound implications for higher education. Let me suggest, first of all, some patterns and developments in higher education that will be as viable in the 1980s as they have been in the past.

     summary: In contrast to most other studies on library job descriptions, which are usually descriptions of general and rather vague duties, their task analysis is specific and spells out in detail the exact functions and duties of librarians, techni- cians, and clerical workers for various li- brary subsystems. The stability of our environment has to be determined before we can begin to design jobs in library organizations that are satisfac- tory not only to the individuals employed in libraries but also to the aims of the library itself.

     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.

     summary: Academic libraries in England have fallen on hard times indeed : Norman Roberts, writing in the November 1977 C& RL, touched upon some of the dire fiscal realities now facing English college and uni- versity libraries and enumerated several steps they are taking to curtail spending; the controversial Atkinson Report (reviewed in the July 1977 C&RL) , recommended a self-renewing library of limited size (a Ia Daniel Gore) as the government-imposed model for future academic library develop- ment. To accommodate the for- mat, of course, reductions are inevitable for many books, but the legends include origi- nal measurements.

     summary: Through all the collective hand wringing comes one speaker (neither a librarian nor a lecturer but a representative of the National Union of Students) with the most cogent and thoughtful-though undeveloped- suggestions for doing more with less: shar- ing of resources among libraries; fuller utili- zation of existing library resources; im- proved course planning and lecturer-library coordination; a more collective approach in learning methodologies and student library use; a more sharply defined distinction be- tween research institutions and undergradu- ate teaching institutions together with cor- responding differences in the library re- sources of each. 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: To test the effect of library instruction on learn- ing basic knowledge and skills in using reference tools, thirty-three Ball State University students received such instruction in a course on informa- tion resources in libraries. Statistical analyses of mean test scores confirmed the hypothesis that students who have taken a course in library instruction will learn to use library reference tools more effectively than those who have not.

     summary: Shortly after she began her second year of library work, she applied for admis- sion to the infant library school that had just been transferred to Albany, New York, after Dewey's lost battle with the trustees of Co- lumbia. In many respects, her most sig- nificant role came in the influence she had on others of that period-especially on the young women with whom she came in con- tact in those formative years of library work, who, in tum, brought their forces to bear on the library community.

     summary: Because each institution has established its own patterns of organization and criteria for rarity and special status, it is impossible, and probably unnecessary, to obtain agreement on universal and standard criteria for Japanese rare books. Perhaps the most important bibliography of Japanese rare books in the United States is now being corvpiled by Andrew Kuroda of the Orientalia Division of the Library of Congress.

     summary: KAREN MOMENEE Impact of the Increase in Library Doctorates A questionnaire was mailed to recipients of library doctoral degrees between 1930 and 1975 to determine the present and preferred areas of activity, evaluations of the doctoral degree as a factor in obtaining and performing present duties, and self-assessments of involvement in library research. THE DOCTORATE AND RESEARCH The substantial increase in library doctor- ates should reasonably be expected to cause a sharp upsurge in both the amount and quality of library research.

Figure 1 shows a graph of cumulative transactions against cumulative items on a semi-log scale for the real data shown in table 1.

It is hoped that the directory will facilitate communication among libraries with instructional programs, assist other libraries in developing such programs, and aid librarians in their research for such projects.

      flesch: 50
     summary: At the same time that library managers have been attempting to devise strategies to deal with the changing nature of their labor force, there have been pressures from other quarters as well, the cumulative effect of which is manifest in a new and growing emphasis on library management. It is perhaps indicative of a failure to cope adequately with the circumstances de- scribed above that a number of articles have appeared in recent years deploring the pre- sent state of library management.

     summary: But while user charges may be a neces- sary complement to on-line search services, it should be recognized that their imposition may cause patrons, with heightened expec- tations toward efficient information re- trieval, to feel justified in demanding im- provements in related library services. This approach, which is the preferred method of rendering search services at Penn (and at most other academic libraries), 6 permits the personal, one-to-one exchange between re- questor and reference professional, which maximizes the interactive capabilities of on- line searching.

     summary: Not many other readers will read steadily through this book from cover to cover, but if they are half as fascinated as I became, they will return to it again and again to ponder specific ideas and suggestions, par- ticularly those relating to the increasing im- portance of governments at all levels in their influence on library development. All university libraries and library schools should purchase this book, also state librar- ies, since the state libraries play a particular and an important role in Australia, and any librarian who is interested in a country that has maintained close links with America since its own birth in travail nearly 200 years ago.-Murray S.

     summary: Would that the creativity and consid- erable learning demonstrated by the authors be applied to the very basic and human problems that are the most serious in academic libraries. There is a smattering of other articles on such topics as women in academic libraries, bibliographic standards, collection develop- ment, and instructional technology that show a workmanlike approach to the prob- lems but suffer that common failure of arti- cles in festchriften-they are a little too contrived and a little too lackluster.

     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: which comprised almost 30 percent of the NELINET sample, are more likely to borrow in-state, especially through the medium of state library systems, than academic libraries. The survey data results about public library activity support the conclusion of Rolland Stevens that academic libraries are only a part of the total ILL picture.

     summary: At that time there was considerable discussion in the lit- erature about residence hall libraries, but after the initial interest subsided, informa- tion on these various educational experi- roents became scarce. Although duster college libraries bear some re- semblance to residence hall libraries, they seem to function more as undergraduate li- braries.

In the preface, the editors describe their underlying philosophy as based upon the premise that library history is necessary to our professional self-knowledge, and it is written in the lives of those men and women who have practiced it, have thought and written about it, and have given it vitality and life (p.xxix).

     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: Some are accounts of the subject's history, orientation, schools of thought, and land- mark works, with little or no attention to bibliographic organization and retrieval; others reverse the perspective and concen- trate on description of bibliographic ser- vices. · The editor's introductory essay, Com- munication and the Bibliographical System in the Social Sciences, starts with some stimulating observations concerning the harm done to communication by the prolif- eration of bibliographic aids and the pos- sibilities and requirements of a well- functioning bibliographic system, though it then drifts off, disappointingly, into a bland recital of the characteristics of existing pub- lications.

     summary: The chapter on theft problems of journal, nonprint, and special collections is slightly less satisfying, perhaps because the work done in these areas is less complete and theft problems less easily evaluated. The author argues that if the in- ventory is considered as a tool to achieve other valuable ends, for example, weeding, preservation, etc., in addition to calculating book losses, it may be a cost-effective pro- cedure.

     summary: While a number of the studies have important implications for academic librar- ians, not least because scientific and techni- cal acquisitions are swallowing an increasing portion of the materials budget, the em- phasis is on improved productivity and efficiency of industrial information systems. Perhaps allocation toward publishing costs of a small part of the origi- nal twenty-one-project research investment would have really borne out NSF's an- nounced policy to facilitate timely and broad dissemination · of research results.

In addition to its being of use to in- dexers and would-be indexers, it is to be hoped that many non-indexers (including publishers!), after being exposed to its con- tents, will appreciate the importance-the necessity, even-of good indexes to make information more accessible.-Eldon

     summary: We call our program Concerned Service and it pays off for academic libraries through· out the U.S.A. Let us show you! Findings indicate that most students relied only on the reading material suggested by their lecturers; external students did not have enough exposure to the mechanics of information selec- tion and retrieval; 64 percent of the students who responded to the questionnaire had access to ma- terials at other libraries; and, while the number of students eligible to use the library collection had increased by 49 percent, the number of reg- istered borrowers had increased by only 25 per- cent.

     summary: College and Research Libraries IRMA Y. JOHNSON TOWARD THE WHITE HOUSE CONFERENCE AND BEYOND Dissemination of Research Results and a National Information Policy Significant portions of the major primary and secondary publications in sci- ence and technology carry information resulting from government research and development. The subtlety with which university librar- ies are pressed into the role of disseminator of government research is reflected in the notice in every issue of Energy Research Abstracts: The libraries listed below pur- chase and maintain microfiche collections of DOE and foreign reports that are abstracted in ERA.

     summary: It sees the problem for university and research libraries as one of sharing im- balances, the inability to maintain and pre- serve and develop collections, various im- pediments to innovative and experimental collective activities, and insufficient funds to provide services to a wider clientele and sustenance to a number of select collections. Many applications contain support for com- puter services, few for library services.

     summary: 2 There was evidence of indifference, as well as of the predictable preoccup;1tion with local issues that clearly makes a discus- sion of national policies a luxury for many hard-pressed college librarians. At the outset, I must say that a number of college librarians whom one might have expected to be concerned about the national network and national policy questions seem, for whatever reasons, to be to all appear- ances quite contentedly asleep-and maybe even dead.

     summary: In short, the last several years have wit- nessed a significant thrust in the direction of enlarging the area of public records and public control over the documentary evi- dence of doing the public's business. If they are in fact public records, they belong to the public, and public ar- chivists have a responsibility to ensure the preservation and availability of those public records .

     summary: College and Research Libraries KEITH GREEN An Evaluation of Citation-Return on Reprints A ten-year retrospective study of reprint distribution and their subsequent citation was undertaken, which indicated that the citation-return on re- prints is low, although distribution of reprints may have aided in increasing the citation rate. Reprints are purchased for distribution often at high cost to either the author in- stitutions or federal and state agencies; in addition, the cost of mailing reprint request cards and reprints increases as postal costs rise.

     summary: In the future we are likely to witness a growing interest and movement within higher education institutions toward mini- mal standards for college education and stricter justification for offerings in terms of size and quality. We hope this will mean more stu- dents entering higher education institutions who know how to read, write, and think and who will be able to use the library, that most important facility, from the start.

     summary: I would also include policies that deter- mine the physical condition of collections ; those that establish the patterns of staff composition; those that set the quality and scope of library service; and those that es- tablish the degree of dependence or inter- dependence of a library on other libraries or on externally provided services-in short , the policies that determine library capabilities, library costs, and library character. 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: Over and above these central costs, there are some two thousand terminals purchased by library networks or individual libraries rep- resenting, ignoring depreciation, an aggregate investment of about $7,400,000. It seems reasonably clear that only large firms, the federal government, a few large states, and large library networks will be able to undertake the capital investment needed to support complex, large-scale on-line net- works and to provide the continuing research and development needed to mount new ser- vices.

     summary: This second edition is intended as an intro- ductory text for library school students and newcomers to university library work.

     summary: This is an interesting approach to bibliogra- phy and suggests (at least for machine- readable files) an easy way in which to separate the clerical aspects of bibliographic descrip- tion from those problems of grouping that re- quire judgment and scholarship. However, such descriptive entries are too long for the many secondary listings where scholars need to compare several entries in order· to make judgments.

Other factors assumed to influence library use, such as the availability of au- diovisual materials or th e physical comfort of the library , do not appear to be related to frequency of use.

        date: 1979-05-01
       words: 2095
      flesch: 61
     summary: The author has two stated purposes: first, to introduce the student of computer sci- ence to the basic concepts of the retrieval of alphabetic information and to describe tech- niques for developing suitable computer programs for retrieval and, second, to de- scribe the general structure of data bases and computer programs so that librarians, information scientists, and others without a computer science background can under- stand and appreciate basic design considera- tions of information retrieval systems. The volume is organized as a self- contained textbo<;>k rather than as a compre- hensive examination of the state of the art of information retrieval.

     summary: Summary tables are presented of all characteristics alphabetically by county for public libraries and by institution for academic libraries. Major findings indicate that (1) although little uniformity exists among states in the methods of funding academic libraries, there is a trend toward the use of formulas in statewide funding patterns; (2) a wide variety of budget formulas are presently being used and it is not likely that an ideal formula will be universally adopted; (3) there is a growing trend in overall planning and coordina- tion of library resources within states; and (4) practically every state now has either an official advisory committee or volunteer committees.

     summary: The instruction emphasized actual library use and finding information in each of the major collections for use in the writing of compositions. Although library-use instruction programs have become popular during the 1970s, they are often not given the same type of support by library and col- lege or university administrators as the more traditional library services.

     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 .

      flesch: 61
     summary: According to its chairman, Professor Donald Stokes of Princeton, the latest study differs from its predecessors in considering the limitations as well as the potentialities of social research for governmental purposes; in encompassing all aspects of knowledge production and application (including, for example, collection of social statistics) in addition to research and development as conventionally defined; and in including nonfederal users and uses in calculating the benefits of federal knowledge-promoting ac- tivities. Included as well are papers covering such areas as: 1) management of libraries; 2) the role of the academic librarian -faculty status, staff development, research interests; 3) economic support and budgeting for libraries; 4) library automation; 5) cooperative programs among libraries, etc. MECHANISED

     summary: A cost accounting system specifically lim- ited to library labor costs in time and dpllars developed, implemented, and continuing in the libraries of California State University, Northridge, is carefully described in Cost Analysis of Library Functions in an at- tempt to provide a . model for libraries to Recent Publications I 369 produce their own set of labor cost data from which sound management decisions can be made and, eventually, from which relevant and meaningful staffing farmulas can be developed (p .2). 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).

As a professional long dedicated to serv- ing the needs of handicapped individuals and helping others to recognize the impor- tance of library service to the handicapped, Kieth Wright has been an eloquent spokes- man for the rights and requirements of that largely overlooked minority in our society.

      flesch: 63
     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?

A WINDOW ON AMERICAN SOCIETI Having come this far , it is now easier to see the potential for college archives as a window on American society.

     summary: Long familiar- ity with SSHI subject headings and terms might have improved the showing for the effort expended on list A but would have made no difference for list B. 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.

LC has announced, however, that it will adopt the options on forenames and dates in rules 22.16A and 22.18 in cases where the necessary information is readily available (LC Information Bulletin, July 21, 1978, p.426).

Given the newspaper titles cited in the article, it would appear likely that some of the twenty title requests would be for newspapers older than twenty years and that some of the requests for the most recent twenty years would be for titles that are not in the top twenty.

The third study consists of a very detailed analysis of the costs of library use and a cost-benefit model of library operations.

     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: Library automation, data base operations, non-book materials, and systems design and analysis were the four areas CUNY librar- ians viewed as demanding their greatest at- tention in library continuing education.

     summary: For example, figure 1 indicates that 96 percent of the books currently circulating are being drawn from a subset of books in the stacks that represent only 65 percent of the books available for circulation. Trueswelr s techni9.ue shows us that this process can be han<Ued in a less costly fash- ion by converting books as they return from circulation.

       words: 1754
      flesch: 66
     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.

     summary: Recog- nizing the elitist nature of museums (as is true of most libraries), the author is also concerned about how to enlarge the audi- ence for museum programs. In his opening chapter, Alexander dis- cusses What Is a Museum? and he then proceeds to discuss art, natural history, sci:- ence and technology, and history museums in separate chapters, with another chapter on botanical gardens and zoos.

No author is given, but whoever was responsible for the grace- ful prose and the magnificent illustrations should be encouraged to do the same thing for other libraries elsewhere.

     summary: Garfield carefully shows the advantages of the citation index over conventional subject indexes for indexing and for bibliographic searching; these include the lack of need for intellectual analysis in citation indexing, the objectivity of citation indexing, the increase in potential productivity and efficiency in searching, the avoidance of semantic prob- lems and the need for vocabulary standardi- zation in citation indexes, the lack of need-at least at the indexing stage-to worry about the variety of human languages in which papers are published, the precision of the citation index over time, and the abil- ity of the citation index to identify relevant papers across disciplines. These are mighty advantages, leading this reader to become aware of'his underuse of citation indexes for his personal literature searching needs.

     summary: For those skeptics who may question whether the limited issue of rec- ognition units for home study programs is a viable and beneficial one on which to spend so much time, energy, and money, the an- swer appears to be an unequivocal yes. However, although the study is limited to nontraditional programs of continuing education, the procedures and methodology used in collecting data for the project provide information relevant to questions and issues that may also arise re- garding recognition for more traditional types of continuing education programs.

     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.

     summary: The following comments about conducting library research are based on the assumption that there is some sort of underlying order in the way libraries operate, that there are some phe- nomena that cause or result from other phe- nomena and that, if we look carefully enough , we can detect that order and those relationships. 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.

     summary: However, this does not reflect the true psychological na- ture of the profession or sex role as it is de- fined today. 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.

     summary: The scope of Introduction to Library Technical Services, as defined by Bernhardt in the preface , is broad and attempts not only to cover the acquiring, cataloging, and processing of all types of library materials but also to offer a comprehensive presen- tation in a relevant manner to all libraries of all sizes and to technical services personnel at all levels . It seems to me to be a perplexing time in which to write an introductory work on technical services.

     summary: From being un- able to reject their hypothesis that there is no significant difference in understanding as between ISBD and non-ISBD (catalog) de- scriptions, Gorman and Hotsinpiller make an illogical leap. 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 .

     summary: IMPLEMENTING THE MARKETING PROGRAM Once the marketing concept has been established among the staff of the organiza- tion-and that is not an easy task to accom- plish-the next step is to analyze the cur- rent situation, assess the strengths and shortcomings in the library's current pro- grams and policies, determine the goals that a program of marketing library services should accomplish, and determine the spe- cific methods by which those goals can be achieved. 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: This small volume presents a number of complex issues as they relate to human rela- tions in library environments, including in- trapersonal and interpersonal communica- tion, working relationships, transactional analysis, role expectations and strain, group norms and dynamics, sources of power, assertive and aggressive behavior, and be- havioral integrity. For instance, the author includes references to transactional analysis and its implications for analyzing working relationships though there is never adequate explanation of the basic premise of transactional analysis.

     summary: Little has changed in library video services since 1977, although there appears to be more interest in video due to the availability of reasonably inex- pensive home videocassette recorders. As a result, practically every topic studied in library schools pertaining to library trends and current problems receive attention.

     summary: The author, who has a library science background, has taught book production for nineteen years and has written extensively, including Reprography for Librarians (Bingley, 1975) and Education for Librar- ianship (Bingley, 1978), is, to say the least, well qualified for his task. Indeed the book provides the teacher with a ready-made outline for a unit or course in book production.

     summary: As one might infer from the title, this book contains a diverse set of original pa- pers on library effectiveness presented at the May 1977 conference of the Internation- al Association of Technological University Libraries at Leuven, Belgium. Yet, this volume does not even summa- rize in any coherent fashion the current issues related to library effectiveness.

     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.

     summary: These sections are taught by means of audiotapes combined with printed materials. 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.

TENURE Among the seventeen recommendations in McAnally's article is the suggestion that library faculty in a university should receive tenure on the same basis as teaching facul- ty.

     summary: This sur- vey of Ohio academic librarians in 1979 reaffirms the opinion expressed in 1970 by Smith in discussing the problems and pros- pects of faculty status: · With only few ex- ceptions, the benefits of academic status have been superficial; substantive areas- salaries, research support, self-direction on the job, voice in academic policy and prac- tice, peer evaluation-have not really been touched. 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: A good example of the breadth and depth of subject treatment may be found in the section on academic libraries (eighteen pages), which is divided into seven subsec- tions, each written by a different author. Beginning with a review of the purposes, goals, and objectives of academic libraries, the article continues by describing in detail the services that are provided for users; the development and importance of collections to support teaching, research, and service; key issues in administration, governance, and finance; standards and trends in the measurement and evaluation of effec- tiveness; the bases and practical concerns of library cooperation; and laws and legislation that affect both the support and operation of academic libraries.

     summary: Nonetheless, if library staffs are to provide adequate services, including the wider adoption of on-line bibliographic searches and bibliographic instruction, these staffing ratios suggest the need for more profession- als. The ratio of professional library staff to students is more favorable in private than in public-controlled schools (table 23).

     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.

     summary: Finally, some, but not all, of the for- mulas reflect the diminishing demands of larger enrollments or other parameters on library resource levels, establishing sliding scales for the relationships between input parameters and staff levels. The result, then, is that there are four yardsticks that affect staff levels.

     summary: Using data from Choice to determine academic book publishing output is by no means flawless.

        date: 1981-03-01
       words: 1795
      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.

     summary: College and Research Libraries At Buffalo, the consciousness created in policy makers by financial exigency meant that the survival of the colleges would de- pend on the subordination of collegiate per- sonality to institutional personality on re- socialization. The personality of the colle- giate innovation did not make a strong enough impact on the host institution to in- spire either the diffusion of collegiate values throughout the university or the toleration of such values within autonomous enclaves.

The earlier dictum that the bulk of a serials col- lection should come via gift and exchange has now been revised to apply only to re- search libraries.

     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 .

     summary: The results in table 2 demonstrate this variation by showing a much higher level of educational require- ments for university director positions as opposed to college director positions. 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.

     summary: Publishing in Library Science Journals: A Test of the Olsgaard Profile* As a test of the universality of the Olsgaard profile of authorship character- istics in academic library journals, the gender, geographic location, and occupation of authors contributing to five journals of interest to special li- brarians were analyzed. 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.

Despite praise for the crafts- manship of the new code , Lubetzky iden- tifies three decisions made dming its de- velopment that · have compromised the in- tegrity of AACR: first , a compromise on the issue of main entry that blurs the primary objective of the catalog as first set forward by Panizzi ; second , the abandonment of the principle of corporate authorship ; and third , the resulting inadequacy of the treatment of serials in AACR2.

     summary: The dates of these studies indi- cated the need for additional research, not only on the cataloging and classification of books but also on the classification of pam- phlets, government documents, periodicals, microforms, and audiovisual materials in community college libraries. Two RECENT STUDIES have shown that the majority of community college libraries are now using the Library of Congress classifica- tion system for the organization of printed materials.

     summary: This study showed that students who break library rules do not feel they will get caught doing so and consider book theft beforehand. A questionnaire study of why students in a large urban university steal and mutilate library books and periodicals identified psychological and sociological motivational factors in the students.

     summary: All are legitimate concerns of deans and faculties of library schools. 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: As a result of not presenting a complete picture of problems facing networks today (such as complexities and developments), when Martin comes to the concluding chap- ter, Networks and Libraries in the Years Ahead, she fails to include any mention of the increasingly important networks' compe- tition for decreasing revenues, the implica- tion of the difficulties of initiating develop- ment capital, governance in all cooperative activities, network linkage, and the implica- tion of OCLC' s recent governance manage- ment changes. While OCLC' s longer history may have revealed problems (and solutions) that other cooperative activities have yet to ex- perience, other networks have , in turn, their own strenuous history.

     summary: But first we need to outline a conceptual model for library data to support administrative decision making. The reason for this lies in the absence of a broad conceptual model of library data that can be used in the development of a detailed statisti- cal data system applicable to a wide range of operational planning, reporting, and re- search purposes.

     summary: In this survey, those at universities with the top twenty-five graduate programs were more likely to consult with colleagues at their own institutions on their research than other historians, but were no more ready to discuss or correspond with acquaint- ances elsewhere. All varieties of United States historians used them more than those in other kinds of his- tory.

     summary: In practi- cal terms this meant that someone might pub- lish in a subject other than library science so long as he/she was careful to show its rele- vance to the concerns and issues of librarian- ship. His study likewise shows that the number of students who entered schools of library science with Ph.D.s in hand ap- proximately doubled between 1972 and 1974, and that there is a preference in the current job market for librarians with subject expertise at the Ph.D. level.

     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).

Nonetheless, as the editor notes, the best evi- dence that university libraries will maintain the advances made in the last few decades may well be the record of their achieve- ments in the face of past adversity.

     summary: Since so many schools have introduced or reintro- duced the internship into their programs and increasing numbers of educators and librar- ians are involved, the material presented should be of interest to a larger audience than library school faculty. One gathers that prior to World War II, U.K. university libraries were well-selected, carefully targeted research col- lections primarily for use by faculty scholars.

     summary: There is also general agreement, both by middle managers and top adminis- trators, that library schools are doing a poor job in teaching management and administra- tion. Although Bailey notes in her introduc- tion that library activities are often difficult to compare with others, she offers little justi- fication for this view: her work draws almost exclusively on library literature.

     summary: His concern was the increasing flow of good books into institutional libraries and thus their disap- pearance from the market and the thwarting of the collector. Parenthetically, I should point out that the New York Public Library has a rather check- ered history of duplicate sales, a history that begins before the formal consolidation of the Astor and the Lenox libraries in 1895.

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.

We know how hard it is to go outside the limits of the field , however they are established, yet just that breaking the lim- its of the field , conceiving of new ways to approach a topic, is what vitalizes research.

In the second stage the directors of the ran- domly selected libraries were sent a brief questionnaire designed to determine the number of professional librarians on their staffs.

     summary: It is suggested that (1) guide- lines established by the library profession and ac- crediting agencies can be useful in establishing standards for the acquisition of materials for cur- riculum collections; (2) available selection aids in- clude book reviews , publishers' advertisements, author reputations, and the professional judgment of the chairperson augmented by opinions of the li- brary staff or faculty committee; (3) central library collections appear to offer more advantages for faculty than department libraries; (4) the chairper- son should encourage and develop faculty and stu- dent usage of library resources; and (5) graduate trained librarians can assist the chairperson by act- ing as information brokers between collections and the department through library instruction and workshops, or through course-related or subject- specific library instruction directly connected with the department curriculum.

     summary: Those who have had experience in mounting effective instruction programs know, too , that such programs do not reduce the number of ques- tions reference librarians must answer across the desk; the programs increase the number , and, as well, typically make the questions more interesting. Using theory developed by sociologists Rue Bucher and Anselm Strauss, it is argued that reference service is a core task for li- brarianship s professionalization movement.

      flesch: 48
     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.

     summary: theory, teaching methodology, or in- structional development (comprehensive curriculum development and evaluation), coupled with the MLS degree constitute ap- propriate background to engage in biblio- graphic instruction; (2) two years' experience in bibliographic instruction is sufficient to permit the librarians involved to make judgements as to whether their preparation was adequate; (3) concentration in reference work in an MLS program, or assignment to reference duties implies an awareness of bib- liographic instruction concerns; (4) member- ship and activity in professional library and education organizations imply an awareness of bibliographic instruction programs and their problems; and (5) regular reading of li- brary and education journals implies an awareness of bibliographic instruction and the problems associated with it. Eighty percent of the respondents see their library administrations as supportive of bibliographic instruction programs yet only 19 percent indicated they received financial support for appropriate education and train- ing.

     summary: In table 4 the general trend in the narrowing of spread of instructional faculty salaries is reflected in a narrowing of librarian salaries. Not necessarily to be ex- pected, though, is that by comparison of ta- ble 4 and table 3 it can be seen that narrower spreads of instructional faculty salaries are directly related to library salaries being in lower groups.

     summary: The proportion of black students in medi- cal colleges in the United States more than doubled between 1969 and 1979, certainly an admirable achievement by all concerned, but black medical students still represent only about 6 percent of all medical students. The eight professions are examined for current racial composition, the peculiar problems that entry into each presents for minority-group members, and whatever reasons might account for the ups and downs of black enrollments during the decade.

     summary: Not only do English teachers re- quire more research papers than most teach- ers in other departments, but the responsibil- ity for research paper instruction, per se, has most often devolved upon the English de- partment. The results of a recently completed national sur- vey on research paper instruction in the un- dergraduate writing curriculum, conducted by this author and Dennis R. Perry in the winter of 1981 , suggest that library use in- struction efforts should be primarily com- mitted to the English department writing program in most institutions.

     summary: The aim of the study was to provide ratios of library-information staff to users in the special sector (excluding public library and educational sectors). In- deed, the form of library education as it was begun by Dewey and promoted by his disci- ples was, in essence, a manifestation of the spirit of the public library movement.

     summary: The author, who describes herself as nei- ther advocate nor detractor of zero-base budgeting (ZBB), has addressed her work to library managers who seek information about this recently heralded theory/process, to decide whether ZBB can be a meaningful and suitable process for them in planning, budgeting, evaluation, and control. Fewer examples, with explication of and fuller com- mentary on the details of library applications of ZBB would have been most useful.

     summary: Slote devotes scant attention to the diffi- culties of weeding a large academic collec- tion (one page) or special libraries (one-half page) although, in the literature discussed, he does include a review of work done in uni- versity collections that support shelf-time pe- riod as the best predictor of future use. 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.

     summary: The report is supported by thirty-three tables of data, and ap- pendixes provide course information, information functions, personnel position definitions, periodi- cal reading lists, and guidelines to library services for extension students. Results indicated the combination of librarian training and outreach in- creased the visibility of special collections; com- puter terminals increased public awareness of li- brary accessibility; and, finally, that outreach improves the ability of the library staff to improve professional skills and enhances the overall visibil- ity of library services.

     summary: One area of popular culture production may decline (e.g., the current decline in the production · of popular music recordings), but the gap is quickly filled by some new diversion. During the past century there has been a continual increase in the quantity and di- versity of popular culture produced for mass distribution.

     summary: This comparison of the results of two surveys of library instruction programs in California ac- ademic libraries, conducted in 1974 and in 1980 by the California Clearinghouse on Library In- struction, includes discussions of the number of survey returns by library type; teaching methods used for library instruction; materials used to teach course-related instruction, formal credit courses, self-paced cre(iit instruction, and noncredit instruction; libraries by type in 1980 reporting instructional activities such as self-guided tours and library handbooks; and use of audiovisual media by library type. 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.

     summary: If a library is forced to break up its collection and if it can afford to do so, then storage of collec- tions according to circulation clusters such as those found in this study would make sense and is worth considering. Accordingly, this study describes cross-disciplinary patterns at one point at one university as revealed by student book circulation.

     summary: 14 Despite important innovations in library services such as bibliographic instruction and online literature searching, and as en- rollment and faculty changes move to- ward disciplines not relying heavily upon the library for information, library use can be expected to decline in the future. One of the most interesting results of the San Jose study is the significantly higher frequency of library use by Asians and Chicanos compared to other ethnic groups (see table 1).

     summary: Although Caldwell and Livingston 4 state that 'citation indexes provide a way to determine how highly valued and widely read the research pro- duced by your faculty is,' we caution that the process is not as simple as running an online search, as these authors imply. 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: After careful checking andre- checking, it was discovered that of the 234 non-depository titles listed in the January through July 1981 Monthly Catalog, 94 (or 40 percent) of all the non-depository titles had in fact already been received through the depository library program.* Thus 40 percent of the titles designated in the Monthly Catalog as being non-depository (by the absence of the black dot) were, in Research Notes 179 fact, received on a depository basis (see ta- ble 1).

Discussion of the findings includes suggestions for the im- provement of interlibrary loan services, and four tables of data are appended.

     summary: Chapter four by E. E. Lawler III is an over- view of rewards systems primarily from a viewpoint of expectancy theory. Both theories and their supporting studies show that the design of pay and other reward systems should be related to what the library wants to achieve in terms of job performance, and to the available tools used by library management as re- wards.

     summary: Fortunately, how- ever, one of the easily apprehensible fea- tures included in both the reviews and the slips is the name of the publisher, and once a bibliographer recognizes that cer- tain publishers produce more OAB titles than others, monitoring the reviews or slips becomes a much easier task. Volwne 6 contains 22 studies which describe the subject's education, life, work, scientific ideas, and the influence and spread of those ideas.

     summary: Enlisting the aid of eleven other librarians to help him visualize the future in library leadership, the editor has assem- bled a collection of essays that provide a thoughtful starting point for identifying the role (library) leadership must serve during this decade and the ensuing one. How well the issue is handled will go a long way toward the success or failure of library leadership, and from there our success or failure as li- braries and librarians.

     summary: Lancaster, finally looking back on more than 300 citations, years of thinking and teaching about librarians' electronic fate, consulting for the CIA, and massive expo- sure to the hard radiations of the Univer- sity of Illinois Library administration, can only ask at the end of his unphilosophical philosophy, 'Will the paperless society be in place by the end of the century? This reviewer cannot recom- mend the work as being either particularly conclusive or stimulating as the basis for either that question or its answer.-Larry X. Besant, Linda Hall Library, Kansas City, Missouri.

     summary: Intended as a textbook in the founda- tions of information work, K. J. McGarry's survey is a ramble through the concepts and history of library and information sci- ence. McGarry's most valuable contribu- tion is his raising of ethical issues that he reasonably surmises information workers will face in the coming decades.-Deirdre C.

     summary: To bolster his arguments, and presum­ ably to make the content more Canadian, a previously published review (in part from the Annual Review of Canadian Li­ braries) of the major studies commissioned by the Canadian provinces between 1933 and 1976 is included. I can find no evidence that statements are confined to Canadian libraries since Neill discusses libraries ex­ isting only in an open society.

Attention is focused on six areas in- cluding library service and operating models; organizational patterns with emphasis on li- brary decentralization; acquisition and preser- vation policies; storage and retrieval strategies incorporating new technology; the research li- brary's role in scholarly communication; and the place of the research library in the economy and programs of the university as a whole.

     summary: Survey after survey has documented that women are far less likely than men to be appointed as library directors and there is a general awareness in the profession that females have a difficult time attaining a director's position.

     summary: Film censorship as we know it takes many forms: classification (similar to labeling of books), review and editing by censorship boards, self- censorship, and perhaps least frequent of all, banning and censorship by lawsuit. But film censorship was already well on its way to becoming a solid American tradi- tion.

Kendrick No- ble, Jr., still deals with book publishing, and Thomas Guback with theatrical film.

     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: As noted earlier, 79 percent of the academic libraries in the United States have some sort of faculty status, but how many have full faculty status? t has been thirteen years since Arthur M. McAnally wrote his lucid defense of faculty status for academic librarians, years in which the profession has seen the creation of a set of standards for faculty status, guidelines for their implementation and their wide-spread acceptance by college and university administrators.

     summary: College and Research Libraries Faculty Status for Librarians: Querying the Troops Russ Davidson, Connie Capers Thorson, and Diane Stine This survey assesses the views of academic librarians within the Rocky Mountain region re- garding the benefits and responsibilities of faculty status. While that survey indicated that most directors think faculty status is appropriate for li- brarians in academic institutions, it also demonstrated their uncertainty regarding the actual benefits accruing to librarians.

By grouping the circulated volumes ac- cording to their Dewey divisional classifi- cations and their years of acquisitions, in- formation on book use as a function of time for each library subject area of each instructional department's curriculum- supporting collection was generated.

     summary: The purpose of this analysis was to examine the possibility that non- course-related experience in the academic milieu could account for the increase in student scores. The detailed information obtained from the testing reports, allowed us to identify troublesome questions, assist students in remediation sessions by checking the items they missed and the subtests they were weak in, maintain accurate records of the students' course completion status, post student scores listed by social secu- rity number, and generally monitor stu- dents' performance.

     summary: The hypothesis used by the author is: Librarians handle their identity, as be- stowed on them by the stereotype, in the manner of a minority group; their re- sponse is similar to that made by members of minority groups in response to minority status. The methodology used was adapted from a study of minority groups and con- sisted of a quantitative content analysis of journal articles, chapters in books, and news reports written about the stereotype of librarians by members of the library profession during the period 1921-April 1978.

There are certainly differ- ences among the client.ele served by public libraries, school libraries, special libraries, and academic libraries.

     summary: Bergman also noted that much of what the library staff does is dic- tated by circumstances and cm1ditions outside the library over which neither staff nor library management have direct con- trol. To put the issue in perspective, this article reviews the major contributions to participatory management theory, examines the arguments of library propo- nents and critics of the theory, and draws some conclusions about its application in libraries. he 1960s and much of the 1970s witnessed a meteoric increase in the number of students at- tending college, partly as a result of the baby boom coming of age and partly because a greater proportion of college-age students continued their post- secondary education in colleges and uni- versities.

     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.

       title: Defending Intellectual Freedom; Censorship in the Eighties (Book Review)
        date: 1984-01-01
       words: 1215
      flesch: 60
     summary: Busha's introduction paints a broad pic- ture of intellectual freedom issues (most of it said before) and successfully encapsu- lates the essence of the articles that follow. With intellectual freedom and access to information ranking as two of ALA's top priorities for the 1980s, a careful re- view of Defending Intellectual Freedom and Censorship in the Eighties seems most appropriate.

     summary: Some have been attacked for their imaginative or speculative leaps; others have dealt only with the quantifiable facts in a quest for scientific history. During the past few decades, we have seen the rise and assimilation of such subdisci- plines as family and demographic history, psychohistory, the history of popular cul- ture, women's studies, quantitative social-scientific history, and a host of oth- ers.

Those who seek salary information on other types of libraries must seek else- where, but they can be aided in doing so by a bibliography of salary surveys, which is included in an appendix.

     summary: Stephen K. Stoan This study examines the source of misunderstandings between librarians and teaching faculty over the concepts of library use and of research, concluding that library skills and research skills, being predicated on divergent philosophies of information seeking, are essentially differ- ent things that can be, and usually are, learned in isolation from each other. 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.

Success rates also suggest that there is a group of online catalog users who are highly motivated to seek out instruction and learn to use the catalog well. n July 1, 1982, Ohio State Uni- versity Libraries announced the closing of the card catalogs, ter- minating the dual catalog sys- tem which had existed since 1975, when the first online public access terminal be- came available.

     summary: Universities are now faced with a dual challenge: we must provide new struc- tures of access to knpwledge in an increas- ing variety of formats and, at the same time, continue to preserve, manage, and make available scholarly information in the traditional printed formats with ap- propriate links between all formats. The Research Libraries Group (RLG) represents a focused effort by a number of research universities and their libraries to reshape information services for scholars.

     summary: Inflation continues to eat away at the core of the physical facilities and in- structional equipment and materials, and this is nowhere more apparent than in university libraries. A second critical matter that university policymakers must face that will have a di- rect impact on the library is the microcom- puter revolution and the increased de- mand for computer use.

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: Indeed, every librarian will find much of interest in these pages; any academic li- brarian who feels overwhelmed, under- staffed, and undervalued should read the account of staffing and hours during the early days at Leipzig University Library, or the noxious results of juxtaposing the university library and the medical school operating theater at the University of Halle.

This means that librarians will be called upon by fac- ulty not only to plan courses but also to evaluate the bibliographies that students use for their research papers.

     summary: Be- cause of its more limited fiscal resources, the library learning resources center in the small community college is often not able to embrace the same administrative con- figurations and practices that have been adopted by library learning resources cen- ters at the larger two-year institutions. Qualitative stan- dards (not guidelines) that establish mini- mum .levels of staff, resources, and ser- vices needed for a quality program must be identified if senior administrators are to support learning resources centers as they should be supported.

     summary: From the recruitment and training of special collec- tions personnel, their career patterns, and demographic characteristics, to the planning and mounting of exhibitions, creation of exhibition catalogs, and reports on procedures that advance or retard the physical care of exhibited materials, to basic questions about the provision of reference and supervisory assistance in special collections reading rooms, pat- terns in the use of special collections materials, the architecture, security, and physical en- vironment of special collections facilities, the management of professional and nonprofes- sional special collections staff, and the articulation of collection development policies-without forgetting matters related to donor relations and money-anything that concerns the librarianship of special collections librarianship will be welcomed. Special collections librarians form a relatively large subgroup of ACRL, and their section has an a dive history .

      flesch: 48
     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: Often there is more than one category of manuscript collection at a single institution.

     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.

     summary: While, as search intermediaries well know, an educated consumer can be a great addition to an online search pro- cess, in the face of the detail the computer retrieval chapter provides, it is fair to ask why end user oriented systems like Knowledge Index or BRS After Dark, 11 are not even mentioned. With the intention, it appears, of producing educated con- sumers of information technology, Prit- chard and Scott provide diagrams illus- trating Boolean logic and examples of actual searches on Dialog, SDC, BRS, and Medline.

     summary: Con- textually, however, it remains a collection of nine articles, not chapters, preceded by Martin's introduction outlining issues in academic library financial planning. Besides, it's remarkable that anyone could write about public library planning and budgeting to- day without even a casual reference to Vernon Palmour' s Planning Process for Pub- lic Libraries (1980) which has had an inesti- mable impact on thinking is this area.

     summary: John Richardson looks at the nature of research in government publications by analyzing theses and dissertations com- pleted since 1928. In my opinion, this book does nothing to bring about an effective and compre- hensive system of bibliographic control for government publications, but it is ef- fective in setting out the dimensions of the problem and in describing the approaches some librarians have taken to cope with them.

     summary: In conjunction with the educational process, library services provide important col- lective benefits that result in increased national income, wealth, and social welfare. It can be and has been argued that user fees amount to double charges, because the public pays for library service through taxes and students pay through tuition.

     summary: The paper argues that these laws are operative not only in library usage but also in the social stratification of scholarship, and it poses the hypothesis that the concentration of journal usage in academic libraries is par- tially a reflection of the process of the formation of scholarly elites. 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: 14 In a study of chemical journals, Rice also found a high correlation between library use and JCR rank. It should be noted that, probably because they were measuring the use ofthe back files of each journal, Stankus and Rice used gross citation counts (the total received by all volumes of a journal as recorded in one year of source journals)

     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.

     summary: Frost, and of E. B. Duncan et al. who have attempted to classify the dif- ferent functions of citations in order to en- hance the effectiveness of citation indexes . in information retrieval. The experi- ment, however, did not support the spec- ulations that citation practice is universal enough to allow for future assignment of citations to papers by some automated mechanism.

     summary: It should be of special interest to any librar- ian or system designer considering the place of classification in the future of li- braries and library catalogs, both as secu- rity considerations inspire flirtation with closed stacks, and as computer capabili- ties allow reconsideration of the possibili- ties for providing library users with en- hanced access to information via subject.-Janet Swan Hill, Northwestern University, Evanston, Illinois. While it is noble to give 'conscientious and congenial consider- ation of articles and research papers which either by their length or their nature would find other publication sources un- receptive' (B. Kreissman's introduction), it makes it difficult for the reviewer to rec- ommend this volume to any but those whose collections of library literature are truly comprehensive.

     summary: Although any consideration of book conservation by librarians generally focuses on the technical aspects of diagno- sis and treatment, another level of deci- sion making is usually required: in a time when severely curtailed budgets are the norm, librarians, curators, and conserva- tors are forced to select for treatment only a few of the many potential candidates in a collection. Such volumes could be evaluated routinely according to the guidelines.

     summary: Thus, despite the casual nature of the selection process and the exorbitant price, this book can be recommended to those concerned with the development of American academic libraries and the strengths and limitations of those library directors who built and dominated them for fifty years.-John Cullars, University of Illinois at Chicago. This vol- ume might, however, more accurately be entitled Leaders in American Libraries since the fifteen people included have all been library directors.

     summary: Three other papers by Beverley Labbett, Elaine Martin, and Ralph Tab- berer report on three different projects de- signed to investigate information and its use among students; their conclusions- even allowing for differences in the British and American educational systems- merit serious scrutiny by anyone involved in designing library instruction programs for undergraduates. In be- tween are essays on library instruction to develop critical thinking skills and the teaching of search strategy, an interesting essay on Alternatives to the Term Pa- March 1985 per,' a survey of bibliographic instruction programs, and a description of the LOEX program.

     summary: However, as Woods and Pope conclude in chapter 1, As information specialists, li- brarians cannot afford the luxury of com- puter illiteracy if they are to maintain their place in the information marketplace.' Chapters 2 and 3 delve fairly deep into hardware and software descriptions cov- ering processors, storage medium, input/ output devices, networks, operating and database management systems, compil- ers, and programming languages. Chapter 4 outlines some designs of library-specific software, taking off on the general discussions of chapter 3. How to assess your library's needs and potential uses for micros is the topic of chapter 5.

     summary: Or again, the chapter on education sources begins with this useful advice: Librari- ans should be wary of investing large amounts in sources that will become quickly dated, and care should be taken to update sources regularly, especially direc- tories and catalogs. Not only have nonprint sources been added, but the scope of the work has also been ex- panded to include reference materials for children and young adults as well as out- of-print reference books considered to be essential to a basic reference collection.

     summary: We can ask another question relating to financing academic library services: is it possible to expand (or contract) library or library-like services incrementally, in ac- cordance with market demand? Its purpose is to explore the implications of the changes to be expected within the foreseeable future (1985-95) in the environment, mission, functions, and operations of academic libraries (from junior colleges to large research universi- ties) on librarians and librarianship.

     summary: Eighty-one (58 percent) of all there- spondents reported tenure track status for most or aM of their librarian positions, yet only 38 of these institutions require evi- dence of research and publication before granting tenure to librarians. 2 This scenario suggests that librarians with faculty status may find it difficult to earn promotion and tenure when their re- search and publication standards are simi- lar to those that their colleagues on the in- structional faculty must meet.

     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.

Veaner Based upon the vision of greatly reduced mechanical and production concerns for academic librarians within the next decade, the author (1) describes required skills, knowledgeJ atti- tudes, and abilities in areas of intellect and human relations, (2) suggests revised educational requirements for academic librarians, and (3) concludes with a plea that academic librarians focus upon increased development of their mental, intellectual, and administrative talents. The concluding part will sug- gest specific skills, abilities, attitudes, and knowledge that academic librarians will require for the remaining years of this cen- tury.

     summary: 22 When most of us are con- fronted by the task of studying and memo- rizing an entirely new piece of information-for instance an historical event, or a scientific formula, or the ele- ments of a literary plot-we apparently ei- ther search in prior memory for something similar with which to associate the new in- formation, or we concoct some kind of memory strategy, verbal or visual, clever or mundane, by which that unfamiliar new material can not only be initially proc- essed, but be permanently retained and readily recalled Could there, in fact, be certain right types of memory strategies that would be particularly effective for us when matched to particular media-one group of strate- gies, perhaps, for verbal media and an- other type for pictorial media?

Sullivan makes special men- tion of the fact that two stereotypes still ex- ist and continue to delay the incorporation of school libraries into networks: the no- July 1985 tions that all 'school library collections are alike so they won't have much to offer, and school libraries are self-sufficient be- cause of the limited demands made upon them.

     summary: Tanner's descriptions of the various edi- tions of Water's writings are as scrupulous and meticulous as any connoisseur of de- scriptive bibliography could wish them to be and cover his subject thoroughly from two pieces of juvenilia that appeared in a Colorado grade school literary magazine through all the author's books, pam- phlets, periodical contributions (including the numerous pieces written for the award-winning Southwestern weekly newspaper El Crepusculo, which Waters edited for two years), to Waters' contribu- tions to books and articles written by oth- ers, and even book jacket blurbs for his own and others' books. The author is emphatic, believing that archi- vists and records managers must be activ- ists in their organization, asserting their influence early in the decision-making process for determining retention and dis- position of machine-readable records.

     summary: There must be-in studies like this and in tenure and promotion decisions-a better distinction made between truly general journals (e.g., Library Quarterly, Library Trends, Library Journal), which deans and directors can judge as well as anyone else, and those journals specialized by librarian function (e.g., RQ, Reference Seroices Review, and Reference Librarian) or subject area (e.g., Notes, BMLA, Sci- ence and Technology Libraries) best judged by instructors and practitioners in those special- ties. However, its treatment of specialty journals (e.g., excluding Notes and BMLA but including Law Library Journal and School Library Media Quarterly) is confusing.

Higher costs and the physical deterioration of library research collections are likely to influence not only national but also international resource-sharing agreements.

     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.

In this four-page section, which appears to the casual reader as an exact reproduction of LC rule interpretation, closer examina- tion reveals that two CSB paragraphs have been omitted and that, while most of the interpretation is taken from CSB18, some wording is retained from CSB15.

     summary: Let me start by renewing my faith in the need for academic librarians to possess four kinds of knowledge in addition to his or her professional library skills: 1. I assume that the reason most of us are academic librarians as op- posed to being public, school, or special li- brarians is that (1) we enjoy the academic life, (2) we want to be a part of the learning process, (3) we have some modest or ac- tive interest in research, and (4) we value the place of the library in learning and scholarship.

     summary: A review of the literature indicates that smaller academic libraries are not un- dertaking studies of the relationship of book use and book selector responsibility, or, if they are, the results are not being broadly disseminated to the profession.

     summary: While book references constitute the most important source of scholarship and most refer- ences were more than ten years old but published since the Second World War, as with the journal literature, manuscript references play a much greater role, sometimes exceeding that of journal references. 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.

The fact that these us- ers had made no contact with library staff but reported heavy building and materials use is an indicator that they perceive the library as a useful building.

It is a potential competitor of both universities and li- braries; among other things, it will repack- age their services as information products.

     summary: There is no reason why libraries can't be vitally important in this role, and as the librarian's training is upgraded to doctoral status, librarians should become avid competitors for scholars-in-residence positions at other libraries. I've not stressed relations with other libraries, but they are important.

       words: 2575
      flesch: 47
     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).

      flesch: 51
     summary: Joan M. Bechtel Criticized for their isolation from the central mission of the college or university and, at the same time, struggling to accommodate the tremendous growth of information and technology, academic librarians need a new paradigm for library service that will effectively direct and in- form planning for the future. 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.

Materials budgets pay for tangible items (books, journals, and 234 College & Research Libraries fiche), while operating budgets pay for the costs associated with making materials available to patrons.

     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.

By examining the experience of one academic library in assuming a central role in the administration of a microcomputer lab and in campuswide microcomputer literacy instruction, changes in librarians' professional roles are suggested, and the implications of such a role are examined.

However, the nature of library services is changing.

     summary: DISCUSSION Pagell and Lusk suggested in the 1984 study that faculty sponsorship seemed likely to increase the response rate for M.B.A.'s.u Results of the present survey indicate that sponsorship alone does not determine response rate, suggesting there is an interactive effect between sponsor- ship of a survey and use of the services of the sponsoring organization. Therefore, the hypothe- sis regarding faculty responses was: • H2:

     summary: Thus, Pauline A. Cochrane views the past from her perspective of twenty-five years' in- volvement in computer-aided subject in- dexes and online catalogs. On the other hand it also includes such philosophically inclined se- lections as 'Putting Knowledge to Work: Five Lectures by Pauline Atherton,' and 'More' Is Not Necessarily 'Better.' The reader should be aware that this col- lection does not constitute a compilation of all the papers written by Pauline A. Cochrane on online subject access.

     summary: The premise upon which the authors based their claim that librarians do not deserve faculty status is erroneous because it fails to see library faculty as any different from other faculty, teaching or nonteaching. Instead of looking at library faculties, Hill and Hauptman may want to look at various real faculties and see whether exact comparisons can be made among departments.

The review panel that conducted the study found that there is little data available on who is charging fees or the services for which they are charged and even less about the effect of fees on access to information.

     summary: Twenty-four percent of the directors had previously been an assistant or associate director in an academic institution, and 14.4 percent had been library director at another institution prior to assuming their current position. 7 In interpreting the results of the present study, it is important to recognize that more than 60 percent of the respondents were library directors from private col- leges and that almost 40 percent of the di- rectors had fewer than five professional li- brarians on their staffs.

     summary: The research hypothesis was that, for the variables of specific subjects, total subjects, and total access points, the means of the circulating subset of class K were greater than those of the noncirculat- ing group. It is conceivable that a record with less de- scription and fewer added entries will be combined with greater subject access of a type that will be simpler to use.

     summary: In summation the Shailor cat- alog reflects the interests that are fashion- able in the world of codicology, while rela- tively little attention is given to the evidence that medieval manuscripts con- tain for the study of philology and the manner in which medieval books were read. Gunnar Knutson provided us with a provocative research paper in which he concluded (contrary to common knowledge) that no relationship existed between number of access points and total circulation of a sample of books he studied.

     summary: Moreover, if one considers that the es- sence of service to library clientele is not merely the hours of operation or the avail- ability of a book on the shelf, but also the degree of professional service a user re- ceives, then costing of library services be- comes even more difficult to quantify. Stephen A. Roberts notes that the prac- tice of costing library and information op- erations is a weak area in the repertoire of library management.

     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: Indeed the report's sec- tion on research libraries is worth a brief review here, since it argues that our pa- trons have supplanted the libraries- appropriately or not-by means of outside technologies and services available to them. The Newman re- port's section on research libraries ends by calling for something with the unfortu- 538 College & Research Libraries nate name of Scholarship Information Systems.

The utility of this exercise seems clearly indicated by previous studies, which show that library users are often thwarted in their search for serials and mono- graphs, and that accessibility problems frequently outnumber acquisitions prob- lems.

     summary: It brought together approxi- mately forty-five selected participants (ac- ademic research library directors, library school deans, university administrators, representatives of library consortia and as- sociations, and sponsors of library devel- opment programs) to consider the future of universities and their research libraries through the remainder of this century and to deliberate on the needs for research on academic librarianship and for education for management of academic research li- braries. Since everything in· it is five years old, this is hardly a preferred source of material on the status of developments in information technology, academic libraries, or univer- sities.

     summary: In the history of art libraries, vertical files and various forms of periodical index- ing arose to fill the same need: access to published information outside of books. The one written in 1908 by Jane Wright, then librarian of the Cincin- nati Art Museum, describes why art librar- ianship was different from other branches at a time when art libraries were growing rapidly and developing, or finding the need for, some of the bibliographical ap- paratus we now take as standard: indexes of periodical articles and reproductions, such as the Periodical Index of the Ryerson Library of the Art Institute of Chicago or the H. W. Wilson Company's Art Index; in- dividualized thesauri for local collections, such as the A very collection at Columbia University; and picture and vertical files whose value has been proven by the sub- sequent generations of researchers.

     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).

     summary: This paper describes the results of a survey of elementary-education faculty at teacher-training institutions in Ohio designed to explore attitudes toward the elementary schoolteacher's role in research skills instruction and toward library instruction in teacher-training programs . Those professors with substantial college-teaching experience (18 or more years) viewed research skills instruction as primarily the instructor's responsibil- ity.

     summary: Whereas 58% of the SLU faculty and 51% of the SIU-C faculty thought that librari- ans' contributions were substantial, only a disappointing 21% of the University of Manitoba faculty believed that librarians had more than some involvement in the education of students. 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: It is distinguished, if at all, by a philo-technological conclusion, ' a somewhat unexpected concentration on reference books, and an overall emphasis on the impact of books generally and printing specifically that is deeply in- debted to Elizabeth L. Eisenstein's Print- ing Press as an Agent of Change (Cambridge, 1979). Within this broad context, the Glaswe- gian linguist and lexicographer looks most specifically at the history of the study of language and at what he regards as there- lated creation of reference books, mainly lexicographic but also encyclopedic.

     summary: umerous recent reports in the literature suggest that the li- brary world in mainland China is recouping the losses it suf- fered during the Cultural Revolution and is making great strides toward catching up with library science in the West. Another possible explanation is that li- brarians in mainland China have a view of library science quite different from that of their counterparts in the West and do not see the discipline as one of the social sci- ences with an established and growing body of knowledge.

     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: If the percentage of the uni- versity budget dedicated to library costs increased fast enough to maintain a con- stant level of library acquisitions, the li- brary budget would consume 5.2 percent of the total university budget after ten years; 9 percent after twenty years, and 27 percent after forty years. 3 Once the less-used titles in a journal collection have been identified, the stage is set for area libraries to join together to maximize resources available to researchers.

Ralph Ellsworth clearly makes the case for the modular library building as the only way to accommodate the kinds of changes that research libraries might have to make to match demands of the new information age.

     summary: There is one statement in the article that is, regrettably, misleading: that is, the amount of savings that can be gained via a compact storage device in comparison with the ten vol- umes per square foot in conventional open stack shelving.' This myth about the ten books per square foot limit (instead of fifteen to seventeen) has really been around too long.

     summary: Although the Oxford English Dictionary shows the word created appearing as early as 1393, creative in the sense of imaginative does not show up until 1745, creativeness in 1820, and creativity in 1875. Creativity in arenas other than the arts appears to be an even more contemporary notion.

     summary: Betsy Ann Stead and Richard W. Scannel sum- marized studies on role ambiguity, role conflict, and role clarity and noted that these factors were significantly related to job satisfaction. However, there are other theories regard- ing motivation and job satisfaction that may be more pertinent than Herzberg's theory.)

     summary: In this article the author suggests that in addition to a recognized need for excellence on the part of library administrators, the librarians in the organization have an equal responsibility for excellence in their support of the library and its mission. If we need library administrators who will moti- vate, lead, support, and facilitate, then surely we need professional librarians who are creative, enthusiastic, dynamic, and determined performers.

     summary: No matter how difficult it is to agree on allocation principles, people are more likely to achieve consensus on principles than on how they should be applied. Even under the best of circum- stances, allocation decisions are often heavily influenced by extraneous factors, such as campus politics and power.

      flesch: 50
     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.

Scepanski, and Wayne Wilson Matched groups of librarians and faculty members demonstrated similar styles of coping with new pressures for scholarly writing. Moreover, librarians who value their status as faculty members wonder about the fairness of being com- pared to traditional faculty whose sched- ules seemingly permit more time for scholarship.

     summary: College and Research Libraries The Obstacles to Reform: China Modernizes Its University Libraries Henrietta Lo Based on her seven-month research on university libraries in China during 1983 and 1985, the author discusses the problems confronting Chinese libraries in their courageous leap from me- dieval book-pre~;ervation warehouses to high-tech information centers. 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.

     summary: This series was developed with three major themes, each of which eventually became the basis for a separate workshop: (1) basic con- cepts in adult learning theory, (2) acquisi- tion of training skills, and (3) practical tips for implementing these skills when de- signing or conducting staff training. 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: While some of these offer sta- tistical evidence of learning retention, there is still no compelling body of litera- tUre to indicate that one method is supe- rior to another for teaching library skills, whether for the short or long term. The leading authors contend that stu- dents should retain library skills through- out their lives so that they can tap this abil- ity whenever they do research.

     summary: 6 Since formal inventories involve a form of shelf reading, however, some studies related to these do provide information. 11 Purdue reports a full search of the entire library took 3 staff 3 weeks, a rate of 10 books per person- hour.12 Normally, however, shelf reading is not an inventory and is intended to prevent the obvious costs of searching.

     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.

     summary: There are no normative statements on this subject, no calls for requiring foreign-language train- ing for admission to library school, nor for incorporating foreign-language readings in course syllabi. The major portion of the book is a thorough, comprehensive anno- tated bibliography that should have broad appeal for both those in library schools and working librarians.

     summary: The entries are grouped into six broad divisions: local government studies, state government studies, federal government studies, for- eign government studies, United Nations government studies, and comparative government studies. It really ig- nores the education half of the subtitle, failing to talk about introductory docu- ments courses in library schools and their role as initiators of later interest in and re- search on government publications.

     summary: the inference that the change in writ- ing material from papyrus to parchment led to the change from roll to codex form, and 2. the assumption that the physical shortcomings of the roll led to the over- throw of papyrus as the scribes' chosen material (see figure 1). Taken as a body, Christian biblical writ- ings before the year 400 are almost invari- ably in codex form.

     summary: College and Research Libraries Research Notes Bibliographic Instructors in the Sciences: A Profile Joy Thomas Responses of 100 librarians to a questionnaire revealed a profile of the educational background and attitudes of science librarians involved in bibliographic instruction. Later, as CSULB's li- brary instruction coordinator, I undertook a statewide survey of science librarians in- volved in bibliographic instruction in an effort to determine how training for librar- ians to give instruction had been accom- plished at other libraries.

     summary: Although I agree with your apparent inten- tion to identify excellent academic librarians, your stated control group, direct patron con- tact and services,' perpetuates classist attitudes about types of positions often present in academic libraries. In the interest of ACRL, I urge you to reconsider your restrictions about academic library superstars.

     summary: The library re- search or search behavior process is the recurrent, lifelong activity whereby infor- mation needs arise, are translated by the individual into searchable queries, and are pursued through the formulation and exe- cution of search strategies that yield an- swers to fulfill needs. There are thus three broad components of library research: in- formation need, search strategy, execu- tion of strategy.

      flesch: 58
     summary: In addition, consultants who surveyed collection development librari- ans at CRL member institutions (hereafter referred to as the MGF report) found that only half considered membership a good investment. 2 Rapid changes in the financial and tech- nological environment of libraries have forced many institutions to reevaluate their collection development programs and reexamine their commitments to co- operative options, including reviewing CRL membership.

     summary: 2 American educators have responded to the special needs of ESL students by pro- viding support through offices and pro- grams, international student advisers, and specialized language classes, particu- larly on campuses where more than 5 per- cent of the student body is foreign. Jokes that depend on local values and local knowledge simply will not be understood by ESL students, but jokes that have broad human appeal, that build on exaggeration or on universal qualities of human nature, may be effective.

     summary: Academic libraries have evolved from relatively small, self-sufficient insti- tutions to large, multifaceted organiza- tions electronically interconnected and linked in ways not yet envisioned fifty years ago. The following account focuses largely on the changes in librarianship but also ex- amines some of the similarities that indi- cate, perhaps better than anything else, both the strengths of academic libraries and the weaknesses where improvement and progress still need to be made.

       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.

     summary: Image and perceived importance of re- search can be improved by all the recom- mendations listed in this section, but spe- cific recommendations include: • encourage the directors of large aca- demic libraries and the deans of schools of LIS to examine the infrastructure cur- rently supporting LIS research and de- velop strategies for enhancing that in- frastructure • allocate a small percentage of the library budget specifically to support research projects within the library • increase the visibility of successful and 140 College & Research Libraries important LIS research, perhaps by or- chestrating a series of regional meetings or workshops that culminate in a na- tional conference • establish and fund 'centers of excel- lence' for research in leading schools of LIS to bring together a critical mass of researchers to concentrate on a particu- lar area of research • establish a national commission of LIS researchers and practitioners to articu- late the importance, role, and impact of research in LIS (not to be confused with establishing a national agenda for re- search) • create peer-reviewed awards; honors, and other reward structures to recog- nize high-quality and important re- search in LIS • establish within libraries and other ap- propriate organizations an Office for Research and Development' to focus available resources on specific research problems As yet, LIS has not moved much beyond Pierce Butler's assessment of the field as a practice-based vocation. 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: A paper reporting their deliberations was published in CRL in 1965, and for a quarter of a century that paper has played a semi- nal role in our thinking regarding quanti- tative standards for academic libraries. That experi- ence led us in 1959 to adopt in ACRL' s first set of college library standards the figure of 50,000 as the minimum number of vol- umes that every college library should own.

     summary: Deosdade One hundred fifty-six community college students enrolled in an introductory management course participated in a bibliographic instruction experiment to determine whether individual- ized term paper counseling sessions conveyed information for immediate recall better than group instruction sessions. This heterogeneity implies that, to achieve maximum learning effectiveness, librari- ans should consider using primarily indi- vidualized instruction methods rather than group instruction.

     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.

     summary: The authors felt that libraries were less able to meet needs than they had been in the 1960s, and that changing patterns of instruction and research were also adding new stresses to the organizational struc- ture of university libraries. We need to plan better, budget more effectively, be more innova- tive in organizing library services, and fi- nally, accept the reality that no library can stand on its own bottom.

     summary: 16 So long as financial support of the uni- versity and its library grew steadily year after year, university libraries could hope at least to keep their heads above water. Microtext has been adopted readily by university libraries, though it should be noted that government agencies do not al- low the counting of materials in microtext in basic reports on resources.

     summary: A model of how librarians may actually go about book selection is presented in three ways: bounded rationality, tacit knowledge, and symbolic content. 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

Among the trends are: more focus on user needs, with users accessing electronic information directly; an increasing tendency for information users to bypas~ the library; the obsolescence of first- and second-generation systems; a contention between optical products and online access; and a fo- cus in the United States on formulation of major information policies.

     summary: 7 The study focused on determining the accu- racy of information patrons received, the level of skill student reference assistants used in negotiating patron needs, the abil- ity of student reference assistants to refer patrons to professional librarians, and the degree of satisfaction patrons felt about the service they had received. 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.

     summary: Another area that we believe would be a fruitful one for continuing research would be to examine the differences that could be anticipated between the form in which ti- tles are typically cited in the literature and the form of entry by which they are listed in library access tools. In 1987 the library reached a critical junc- ture regarding options for providing seri- als holdings information to library users.

     summary: The writer goes on to describe in detail the organization of technical services and ob- serves that since most of the work of processing goes on behind the scenes, it attracts little notice from the majority of library users who concentrate their attention 'on the per- son at the desk. Dennis Carrigan, summarizing the po- litical economy' of academic librarians in an article published here in July 1988, reminded us that the administrators who control the institutional resources upon which the library depends are traditionally not major consumers of library services and can't be counted on to understand those services or to assess competently their quality or their importance.

     summary: Seeing that the ambiguity of the Paris Prin- ciples had made it possible for national and international catalog4tg codes to remain far apart on a vital conceptual question, the IFLA Committee on Cataloguing en- couraged Eva Verona to do a study of cor- porate headings (published in 1975 as Cor- porate Headings: Their Use in Library Catalogues and National Bibliographies: A Comparative and Critical Study) which es- poused the Continental European idea that there is no such thing as a corporate author, though the limited use of corporate main entry headings in author catalogs may be justified. 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)

Identification of a group of user instruc- tion journals within the recognized core of library science journals, much like the pat- tern of personal author citations, further underscored tendencies toward insular- ity.

     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.

     summary: It was expected that patrons using appropriate databases would be able to proceed with their research, but that pa- trons using inappropriate databases would have to look further for relevant ci- tations before proceeding with their re- search. This study examined the appropriateness (as determined by three in- dependent judges) of database selection by pa- trons, when a choice of databases was provided.

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 .

     summary: Allen Veaner has noted the accelerating growth in microcomputer power and usability: Mysteriousness and inconvenience, once the hallmarks of the computer, have been almost completely eliminated ... computers and soft- ware are gradually giving users greater and greater power to cut through bureaucracy, for- mality, and red tape, to extract what the.)T want from data files and information systems. 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: A study of the literature revealed that some consider only whether a title received use and set no standard for low, medium, or high use, although Charles Wenger and Judith Childress indicated that 100 uses per title in a six-month period was high use. For the purposes of this study, low use was arbitrarily defined by the authors as 1 to 15 uses per periodical, medium use as 16 to 75 uses, and high use as more than 75 uses during the fifteen weeks.

     summary: Librarians who become involved in building planning can prepare themselves for working with architects designing buildings for them by visiting and review- ing layouts for other buildings designed by the_ architects. The building contains, nonetheless, many features of field theory buildings, a 'crystalline sur- face skin,' a 'lack of facade,' 'avoidance of masses, a contact between interiors and landscape, and avoidance of dis- rupting the landscape.'

     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.

     summary: Perhaps, partnerships between college practitioners and those in research libraries could cause more college librarians to participate in research in librarianship. While the practitioner's perception may be that library literature covers all topics regularly and even perhaps repeatedly, the researcher seeking information about a specific topic may find the shelves fairly bare.

     summary: The null hypothesis could not be rejected for most variables, reaffirming conclusions of other studies that demographic factors do not influence job satisfaction. More than 6,000 articles on job satisfac- tion had been written by 1984, prompting the question: why embark on another study?1 As Patricia Cain Smith, Lorne M. Kendall, and Charles L. 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: Following this analogy, I have perceived an assumption among some librarians from larger institutions that college librarians would love to move up to the major leagues (or the 'Big Show' as the character Crash Davis called it in the quintessential baseball movie, Bull Durham), if only they could. In recent years college librarians have been strongly encouraged to publish more.

      flesch: 47
     summary: Because library directors seldom move up or laterally into other administrative positions within the larger academic orga- nization, some view their position as a dead-end job. 2 While organizational and attitudinal barriers may restrict library di- rectors' upward mobility, the managerial roles library directors emphasize may also restrict their ability to obtain the necessary power and required influence for upward mobility within the larger academic orga- nization.

     summary: Posi- tive association exists between publishing output and whether or not classes taught require library use, the frequency of required library tours, the degree to which library tours contribute to student library abilities, and the ranking of graduate student library abilities. Determining if external variables that are related to departmental attitudes toward student library skills exist could of- fer bibliographic instruction librarians a better understanding of their teaching col- leagues.

       words: 4003
      flesch: 56
     summary: Factor analysis is particularly well suited for the examination of library survey data because surveys typi- cally generate a great amount of raw data that must be interpreted before meaningful conclusions can be reached. As statisti- cal techniques become more prevalent in the assessment of library survey data, the use of this along with other methods, should facilitate the understanding of atti- tude structures of various library clientele.

     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.

     summary: In a recent review of attempts to find alternatives to the scientific journal, 1 I emphasized the fact that scientists and other scholars have also been reluctant to publish in formats other ,than the printed journal. 2 A similar reluctance has been found in experi­ ments with electronic journals.

     summary: Several forces have driven downward many of the duties formerly considered fully professional; for example, the intense application of technology to library processes, severe budget constraints, and the relative success achieved by librarians in their quest for a higher status. College and Research Libraries Guest Editorial Paraprofessionals: Shaping the New Reality Until quite recently, the role, status, and working conditions of paraprofessionals have not been topics of intense or generalized interest within the profession.

      flesch: 54
     summary: These findings are consistent with an overall pattern dis- played by table 2: namely, that directors' rankings of research journals and deans' rankings of practitioner journals may more readily be accounted for by journal age, circulation or index coverage than the opposite pairing. ARL directors valued a mix of research- practitioner journals, but specifically valued research journals which tended to be cited, on the average, more heavily than other journals and practitioner journals which tended to be cited, on the average, more quickly than other jour- nals.

The subtitle describes precisely the au- thorial strategy: to bring together in one place a list of facts, anecdotes, study re- sults, and surveys that pertain to a gen- eral theme, such as computer crimes, and to let these then define the landscape for discussion.

     summary: Among the evidence which Harris considers in seeking to define the levels of ancient literacy is the extent of the book trade and the existence of libraries and collections of written texts. Harris' applica- tion of recent studies of contemporary and early-modern societies to the prob- lems of ancient literacy is interesting.

     summary: The information gathered by the survey and through an extensive review of the literature was used to develop a model for preservation decision making that takes into account the contextual elements of a small college library, the characteristics of the periodicals themselves, and the preservation options available. The objective of this project, which was prompted by an assessment of the nine- teenth-century American and British peri- odicals collection at the author's library, was to develop a logical and efficient model for making preservation decisions with respect to nineteenth-century period- icals collections at college libraries.

     summary: 23 · If it is true that journal prices increas- ingly reflect value and not cost to pro- duce, it follows that the 20 percent of the journals Butler identifies as critical may gradually become the 20 percent that drive up the majority of subscription costs for libraries. 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: College and Research Libraries Equity and Entitlement: Internal Barriers to Improving the Pay of Academic Librarians Janice J. Kirkland Academic librarians, because of their education and abilities, deserve higher salaries, yet the disparity between the high requirements and low pay in the profession has not led to widespread pay equity campaigns. The satisfaction with lower pay that women often display may also be par- tially attributed to their selection of other groups with which to compare their sal- aries.

The authors interviewed a group of humanist scholars at the University of Pennsylvania about their experiences with the RUN database.

     summary: Broader sharing of scholarly ideas can be successful through addressing the larger arena of university and schol- arly distribution and ownership of intellectual ideas. As the expression of scholarly ideas becomes less and less affordable, the question of whether the 1909 or 1976 copyright law, or any copyright law, is the right law for sharing scholarship is again raised in some quarters.

     summary: Unfortunately, the subject index could use more work; the entry for England, for example, lists more than 100 page references with no further subject breakdown. Along with the more standard lexical fare offered by its predecessors, it provides broad cov- erage of scientific and technical termi- nology and colloquial speech based on material gathered in the course of Macura's years of work as a translator, as well as from surveys of Russian refer- ence works.

     summary: Although the students came from a wide variety of disciplines, no attempt was made to match reference questions to student majors. Wyma J. Hood and Monte J. Gittings found that librarians accom- panied users about 54% of the time when answering reference questions in one ac- ademic library.6 About 46% of the time, they showed them how to find the an- swer, and about 34% of the time, they found the answer for the user.

     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.

     summary: For example, a library might argue that any journal where, say, 30 percent of the published articles in one or two is- sues of the serial report on the results of funded research-as identified by author acknowledgment in the introduction or text of the work-should be labelled as research literature. 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.

     summary: RESEARCH QUESTIONS Understanding the status of RLIN and OCLC CJK systems in the greater biblio- graphic community requires knowledge of how these systems are used in individ- ual user institutions. Table 3 shows the number of CJK systems installed in respondents' libraries, in correspon- dence with their collection sizes, and the year the installation took place.

     summary: Hernon divides LIS research into basic research, 588 the discovery of knowledge and theory · building; applied research, which in- cludes the testing, confirmation, revision, and refutation of knowledge; and action research, the investigation of a problem as an aid for local decision making. Between Hernon and Lynch, we are presented with a variety of viewpoints on factors affecting LIS research, includ- ing national agendas and international aspects, ideology, LIS education, the role of different agencies and interest groups, and the function of research in different types of libraries.

     summary: In part two, covering the thirty years after the Civil War, Ross focuses on the crisis in exceptionalist ideology and the formation of social science disciplines, particularly economics, political science, and sociology, which she regards as the core disciplines. In part one, she places the beginning of social science in the eighteenth century as part of a historical development she calls the discovery of modernity, and she traces the develop- ment of American ideas and their diver- gence from what was seen to be the European experience.

     summary: Within fifteen years, space pressure in the main library began to spin off a number of branch libraries, two of which were driven back into the main library by legislative pressures in the 1970s, and three of which are now being united into a science library. My experience with branch libraries indicates that collections are much more heavily used when they are in the same building as the offices and classrooms of their specialties.

     summary: We might: • review research-based books produced in other professions and disciplines, noting the omission of important LIS procedural studies and coverage of the types of evaluations encountered in complex organizations, such as libraries and information centers; • conduct procedural and other types of research with investigators from other professions and disciplines, thereby altering the self-contained paradigm noted by Gatten; • expect more LIS faculty directing doc- toral students, and the students them- selves, to be well versed and experienced in the conduct of different types of re- search and the use of various theoret- ical frameworks; • offer special awards and prizes for such research; and • attend sessions of professional associ- ations in which researchers present procedural studies. LIS re- search-oriented journals, as well as funding organizations, ought to be sup- portive of such research.

     summary: College and Research Libraries Science Literacy: A Discussion and an Information-based Definition Gregg Sapp Recently, science literacy has been the subject of much discussion in both the scholarly and popular press. The concept of science literacy encompasses two distinct but related dimensions: the first being concerns for the quality of scientific and technical education that American students receive at all levels, and the second being deficiencies and misconceptions that exist in the overall public understanding of science.

     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: The literature of formula allocation has several central themes which the matrix formula described here addresses. It is fair to ask why anyone should revisit the topic of formula allocation of acquisition funds, given the extensive discussion of it in the literature.

     summary: Be- cause Penn State was one of the first academic libraries to install several CD- ROM products, the experiences and satisfaction of its clientele should prove valuable to other academic libraries as they implement CD-ROMs and more ad- vanced technological resources. Caroline Moore surveyed libraries using CD- ROM products in the United Kingdom while Jenny Stocks did a similar study of academic and special libraries using CD- R OMs in Australia.

Several aspects of this treatment are discussed, with more attention given to deacidification (fifteen pages), a tech- nology neither fully evolved nor widely used, at least on a large scale, than to preservation microfilming (eleven pages), photocopying (three pages), and digital techniques (two pages).

     summary: High use books get 'less than their share' of browsing-use, but has also noticed that the figures in the tables provided show that as the number of recorded uses increases, the number , of browsing uses tends to decrease. Since the most practical application of book use research has always hinged on the question of whether circulation figures suffice to indicate the total use of a given volume, the key component of our find- ings is that of the books with no circula- tion but some in-library use.

     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: 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.

     summary: Objectives • To identify the major differences be- tween text-based and graphics-based software interfaces to bibliographic databases on CD-ROM by evaluating SilverPlatter's PC SPIRS and Mac- SPIRS software; • To identify the elements of the hard- ware systems and software biblio- graphic database interfaces that appeal to users in the access of infor- mation stored on CD-ROM; • To study user reaction to IBM hard- ware and SilverPlatter's PC SPIRS software in order to determine those features users regard as easy and effi- cient and those they consider difficult; • To study user reaction to Macintosh hardware and SilverPlatter's Mac- SPIRS software to determine those fea- tures users regard as easy and efficient and those they consider difficult; • To determine user preference for SilverPlatter's text-based, cursor-con- trolled interface or SilverPlatter's graphics-based, icon-controlled inter- face to information in the ERIC database on CD-ROM. 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.

     summary: It is not an in-depth treatment of case precedent nor a manual of copyright law, but an explana- tion of the underlying constitutional premises of copyright. Patterson and Lindberg's The Nature of Copyright: A Law of Users' Rights is a most timely and useful work that provides a legal and historical interpretation sup- porting many of the views of copyright held by librarians.

     summary: When texts are infinitely mutable, it becomes meaningless to speak of a stable canon of standard texts. Bolter accepts that cultural unity is a thing of the past, but expects that computer texts and computer networks will allow like- minded people to come together and find some sense of communal purpose.

     summary: Other goals realized by the experience included the opportunity for the director of libraries to work closely with the director of university planning on library planning and to exchange in- formation about trends in higher educa- tion and the external and internal environments and for the library staff to be seen by the director of university planning as knowledgeable about trends and issues in information management and as engaged in the academic life of the institution. As a result, the institu- tion's collective vision statement was unin- formed by the knowledge and wise counsel librarians could have contributed, and Strategic planning processes create opportunities for staff at all levels of the organization to inform themselves about the organization and its environment and empowers them to work creatively.

     summary: ACRL publications provide practical ideas, tools, and methods for: Management Bibliographic Instruction Collection Development Special Collections Statistics & Research The convenient and cost,cutting ACRL Approval Order Plan provides automatic priority shipping of ACRL's new books at a 20% discount to ACRL members (10% to nonmembers). However, I believe that in the case of academic libraries, another audience needs to be targeted very strongly: accreditation teams.

      flesch: 48
     summary: These interviews pro- November 1992 duced qualitative data.20 As such, the in- vestigators were able to probe some simi- larities and differences among participants at the same and different institutions, get feedback on topics for further research, and develop insights into participants' views of library literature and the con- duct of literature reviews. 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.

     summary: The change in library subscription prices de- pends on, among other things, the librar- ies' elasticity of demand for journal subscriptions. 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 worth of a work is insidiously, fundamentally, so- cially, and historically mediated.7 COLLECTION DEVELOPMENT Such a relativistic stance regarding how canons are formed and evolve, if accepted, has profound importance for the self-conception of the goals and pur- poses of library collection development. In so doing, the relevance of current literary research surrounding canon formation to collection development is suggested.

      flesch: 41
     summary: Although the title Cataloging Heresy might suggest that this book proposes radically different ways of looking at cat- aloging and bibliographic control, it is in- stead a rather useful overview of some of the problems with uniform titles, subject headings, classification, and the descrip- tion of special types of library materials. 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.

     summary: The papers examine what data should be included in these shared bibliographic records and how those data might be altered in response to a given collection, special type of material, or special user group. The article by Sook-Hyun Kim examines the practice of including serials holdings information in notes in bibliographic records, rather than relegating such information to a linked holdings record.

     summary: The treatment of specific kinds of collec- tions, types of resources, and modes of selection activity points to the transfor- mation from functional, at times peda- gogical, concerns to broader issues in New Treatise. Charles Osburn and Ross Atkinson, in their brief forward, emphasize the dynamism, evolu- tion, diversity, and challenges evident in collection management, and they appear to have accepted as their primary goal the provision of a forum for critiques, new ideas, revisions, and glimpses of future directions.

     summary: When book reviews work, they serve a variety of important functions in a profession or discipline. One need only consider journals such as American His- torical Review, Contemporary Sociology, Con- temporary Psychology or Notes-all pub- lished by professional associations-to see how book reviews can help articulate and shape the best thinking in a discip- line.

In a brief introductory paragraph, she dismisses out of hand obtrusive techniques of data gathering such as sur- veys and interviews, and makes vague and undocumented references to inter- nal debates about the nature of 'library feminism' and defensiveness among library women in an effort to justify her design of an empirical, unobtrusive study.

     summary: It is divided into large chrono- logical sections, with separate chapters in each by over seventy writers (includ- ing many librarians) on subjects such as the Bibliotheque Nationale, municipal li- braries, academic libraries, library archi- tecture, sociology of reading, and documentation centers. With the publication of this volume on the twentieth century, a magnificent four- volume history of French libraries is now complete.

     summary: Even if they did, added revenues of $180,000 would allow them to reduce the cost of a library subscription only by a bit more than $100 (and it is unlikely that such revenues would be used to reduce library costs). 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: Many articles currently rejected could con- tribute to solving library problems. In the next issue, Herb White questions whether peer reviewing for journal publications serves its quality control purposes, and Peter Hernon and his colleagues analyze the results of a comparison between papers accepted by C&RL and those re- jected through the past decade.

     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: There have been several iterations of college library standards and guidelines since the 1920s. The initial part of the survey sought demographic data, such as student en- rollment, faculty size, number of librari- ans and library support staff, and number of majors offered at the ba- chelor's, master's, and Ph.D. levels.

     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.

     summary: From the 1970s through the early 1980s, WSU librarians achieved near parity with faculty in compensation, job security, and governrznce matters. Tracing the successes and failures of WSU librarians in their quest for faculty status reveals the profound challenges of seeking such status through collective bargaining.

     summary: Her ig- May1993 norance of information science is crip- pling and dangerous; if others were to take her book as a competent account of the current state of research in LIS, it could be the end of LIS education in research universities. She thinks the relationship between librarianship and information science is probably the most complex intellectual problem faced by LIS education; with big political and economic consequences-whiCh she does not address, except to suggest that .information science and scientists are likely to split off from library education.

     summary: It has to be said that this is a pro- foundly reactionary book, showing a strong distaste for the kind of research, development, and professional practice in information work that is gradually growing from deep roots in bibliogra- phy and librarianship. 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.

That These Processes Are Really under Management Control Herbert White It has long been assumed that the refereeing process used by scholarly journals served as an effective safeguard against the publication of work that is either inferior or repetitive of earlier publications.

     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.

     summary: Peters found that remote use was heaviest on week- day afternoons, and that there was com- paratively little use of remote access in the evenings and on weekends. As at Penn State, remote access to the OPAC at Kansas City was not avail- able when the library was closed.4 Two other studies treat the time pat- terns of remote use only in passing.

     summary: There- fore, service quality is relatively simple for a business to define: high-quality services are those that generate increas- ing revenue, and low-quality services are those that do not. 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: This collection is intended as a hands- on aid to librarians who teach or admin- ister instructional programs. The remaining contributions-on instructional design, teaching methods, and the evaluation and management of a bibliographic in- struction program-will help librarians who wish to be introduced to the basic contours of instructional issues and who can use checklists and flow charts in implementing their programs.

     summary: When I talk to faculty and students they tell me they are drowning in information resources. It is my conviction that what our cus- tomers, both students and faculty, need in addition to better tools, is a better understanding of the organization of in- formation and the fundamental tech- niques for accessing information.

     summary: A 1991 survey of 185 academic librarians furnished data on the relationships between institutional provision of release time and financial assistance and librarians' participation in various types of professional development activities. However, the validity of the belief that institutional provision of release time and financial support correlate positively with professional development activities has not been concretely demonstrated.

     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.

The computer-aided analysis of text, an area of the humanities that is by no means new and that has, in fact, seen several decades of activity, is now ex- periencing a new surge of interest among scholars.

Jones surveyed support staff in three academic libraries to determine their attitudes toward technology in what she terms the the technology-acquisition period.3 SURVEY RESULTS Length of Employment When asked about longevity on the job, library support staff in Wisconsin proved to be a stable group.

     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.

        date: 1994-03-01
       words: 3569
      flesch: 45
     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: Since reference librarians must deal with questions in a vast range of subjects and in varying degrees of complexity, it behooves them to pool expertise since no one can fully master all subject areas in the realm of knowledge. Reference librarians need to exchange viewpoints with their peers, and to discuss with them their frustra- tions, disappointments, and feelings of resentment toward patrons.

     summary: As if fundamental shifts in the finan- cial base of research universities were not enough, higher education is also beset with an epistemological crisis and with deeply conflicting promptings on diversity. His tone is the more welcome because the condition of research universities is fundamentally so troubling and the grounds for optimism so uncertain.

     summary: A preliminary scan confirmed that the authors had made themselves familiar with much of the broad range of challenges that effective exhibits must overcome. as anyone would suspect who is familiar with the ACRL/RBMS awards program for outstanding exhibition catalogs sponsored by Katharine Keyes and Daniel J. Leab and American Book Prices Current.lf Bowen and Roberts really think librarians who design effective exhibits are treated as if their work is not a fully legitimate scholarly enter- prise, perhaps they should have interviewed recent award winners to see if that had been their experience at Harvard, Columbia, Toronto, Alberta, Maryland, Oberlin, Bucknell, Tulsa, Toledo, Northwestern, Indiana, Stanford, Yale, Southern Methodist, Car.negie Mellon, Brigham Young, Brown, Virginia, and elsewhere.

It seems to me that a journal devoted to philosophical and moral reasoning (ethics) should 268 carefully distinguish itself from an organ that seeks to disseminate and defend particular points of view, even views as hallowed as freedom of information and the right to read.

     summary: College and Research Libraries Western European Political Science: An Acquisition Study Barbara Walden, Charles Fineman, WilliamS. Monroe, and Mary Jane Parrine National bibliographies from 1990 for France, Italy, Sweden, Belgium, Iceland, and Catalonia (Spain) formed tire basis for a study of U.S and Canadian acquisitions in the field of Western European political science materials. Nevertheless, the finding that a very high percentage of titles in the national bibliography sample are held somewhere in the United States does suggest that knowledgeable selec- tors located at institutions which give them adequate financial leeway to make decisions can work together with fac- ulty, keep up on current developments in research and publishing, and acquire foreign language research materials in quantities adequate to support present and future needs.

     summary: One could speculate that the lack of very positive attitudes toward unions might relate to the fact that although union commitment was found to be positively linked to library commitment, union presence per se was negatively related to library commitment. The results of the statistical analysis revealed that union presence was a negative predictor of organizational loyalty; registered and nonregistered union members shared similar attitudes toward their employing organization; and union commitment tended to be a positive predictor of organizational commitment.

     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.

Lancaster published the first edition of If You Want to Evaluate Your Library ... in 1988, the book received praise from numerous reviewers who recognized its value for practicing li- brarians as well as library school stu- dents.

     summary: [Sept. 1993]: 397-406), Phyllis Franklin has used my book, The Librarian, the Scholar, and the Future of the Research Library, as a foil to mount a forceful argument for the preservation of primary print records in libraries during the electronic era. (See, for example, p. 392 of my article, How to Survive the Present while Preparing for the Future: A Research Library Strategy, that precedes Franklin's article in the same issue of College & Research Libraries.)

     summary: As we fill journals and conferences with more and more papers on the possible obsoles- cence of libraries in the electronic age, we remain oddly silent in front of the real situations of real institutions. I have no specific recommendations to make at this point, nothing to put on the table except a modest proposal that more at- tention, watchfulness, and thoughtful consideration of institutions become part of our professional agenda.

     summary: A Persistent Personnel Issue in Academic Librarianship, II Allen B. Veaner Computerization has transformed the bulk of library work from moving physi- cal objects, for example, producing, sorting, and filing catalog cards, to elec- tronically manipulating a vast array of symbols. Library staffs worked together effectively and harmo- niously for a very long time before man- agers applied the team label to group activity.

     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.

Beginning in 1989 and running through 1990, the authors first held dis- cussions with women faculty at eight library schools in various regions of the United States, conducted telephone in- terviews with one hundred women (out of the 236 full-time female faculty in ac- credited U.S. library schools and pro- grams), and presented preliminary findings at the 1990 annual conference of ALISE (Association for Library and Information Science Education) in Chicago.

An ambiguity of Internet effects-func- tions (advantages) being inseparable from dysfunctions (disadvantages)-is readily apparent to anyone who has joined a few electronic groups: .To inhibit the flow of useless junk is to risk the loss of one of the most valuable impacts of computer-medi- ated communication systems-the flow of potentially useful information and ideas among persons with no pre- vious or off-line communication links.1 Bound up with that dilemma is a law of diminishing returns: the more infor- mation accessed, the less its overall meaning.

A major reason for this is Robinson's success at identifying the emerging standards for treatment of electronic materials.

     summary: The essays are ostensibly tied together by a preface and an epi- logue, which obliquely suggest what may be the author's taking-off point: Chartier's restating of the complex, subtle, shifting relationships between books and their readers in earlier times as a paradigm for his uneasy coming to terms with the world of electronic texts. In the essays, originally published in French in 1992, Chartier questions, elu- cidates, and theorizes about ideas put forth by himself and others on such sub- jects as the relationships between text, print, and reader; changing perceptions of the connection between author and text, literary property, and censorship; and the various meanings of library (bib- · liotheque) as space, compilation/ conden- sation, or book catalog.

     summary: Its ten chapters deal with three broad categories: information transfer in the wider societal context, information and the individual, and the nature of information systems. Despite the promise of the title, this volume is concerned with a broad treat- ment of the essential scientific aspects of information science rather than its prac- tice per se.

      flesch: 47
     summary: Whether using survey instruments, interviews, focus groups, or other assessment methods, academic librarians can gain insight into their customers' needs by under- standing: (1) their overall attitudes; (2) the context or environment in which cus- tomers use library services; and (3) their perception of how library services are linked to other services. 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: Hallmark selected nineteen journals from which to take the sample of articles, journals recommended by scientists and chosen through independent evaluations; the evaluations are attributed to Katz's Magazines for Libraries, 1989, which is general and dated. Hallmark has already restricted her research to cited journal articles; with monographs, conferences and patents excluded this formula is more restrictive still.

     summary: As indicated above, the second hy- pothesis concerns the statistical relation- ship between the selection of pro-life books and pro-choice books by librari- ans at religious-affiliated institutions. Based on 580 reported holdings of these eight books, California academic and public libraries were found three times more likely to collect pro-choice than pro-life books.

     summary: The survey's objectives were to determine the availability to faculty of equipment and network connections necessary for access to electronic information re- sources, to measure use and frequency of use of these resources, to report locations from which faculty access electronic information, and to elicit faculty perceptions of obstacles to the use of electronic technologies and library services which might stimulate use of such resources. Today Humanities scholarship and teaching present the same urgency for access to computer technologies and electronic information resources as is necessary in other fields.

     summary: Because this process and its results are so important for the membership of ACRL, I want to describe briefly the level of involvement of the membership, the techniques that have been used to gather information and feedback from ACRL members and leaders, and to give you a sense of the documents as they currently stand. College and Research Libraries Guest Editorial Reshaping ACRL Like all good membership organiza- tions, ACRL used some of its energies in the 1980s to develop a mission statement, goals, and objectives and to form a five- year strategic plan, focusing on both the needs of the membership and the critical issues of the times.

     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.

     summary: There are a great many published aids for booksellers, book collectors, and li- brarians, guiding them through the maze of buying and selling books, de- scribing and preserving them, calling at- tention to their most arcane attributes, and otherwise providing aid and corn- fort to bibliographical tyros as well as to those more seasoned in the art of biblio- phily. The fact that so much has .happened in the field since 1986 blunts the urgency that Barker seems to want to impart to the volume, but li- brarians who either teach the history of the book or who are called on to do occasional presentations to classes on book history, have here a useful collec- tion to consult.

     summary: To the Editor: DON LANIER University of Illinois at Chicago Rockford, Illinois 61107 dlanier@uic.edu Dave Harmeyer (Potential Collection Development Bias: Some Evidence on a Con- troversial Topic in California, College & Research Libraries 56 [Mar. 1995]: 101-11) is somewhat disingenuous in claiming the first published use of OCLC holdings data as a basis for comparing library holdings of certain titles. 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: By knowledge the authors mean prima- rily scientific and technical knowledge, although they do devote one of the best- written chapters in the book (pp. 90-110) to an heroic attempt to show how some aspects of Mode 2 are also evident in the humanities. Most of the book is devoted to a discussion of the causes of this new mode of knowledge production and of its effects on research, institutions, and public policy.

     summary: To explore whether scholars outside the field of library science cite articles from library science journals, this study presents research data that use ci- tation analysis to identify which fields cite the literature of library and information science. From previ- ous research, such as those examples mentioned in the literature review, the authors know that librarians who pub- lish in library science journals tend to cite library literature.

       words: 4199
      flesch: 40
     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.

     summary: Susan Hockey offers a succinct histori- cal overview of electronic texts in the humanities since the 1940s, emphasizing the necessity of descriptive markup that recognizes the structural components of texts and demonstrating the ways in which some of the lessons learned have been applied to digital imaging. 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.

     summary: Quot- ing from University of Virginia president John Casteen, he emphasized three points: (1) unity within the state higher education systems is essential for public support, (2) national organizations must be willing to work on a partnership ba- sis with key state interests, and (3) ad- vocacy for higher education must attract third party supporters who will state our case because, in part, we are meeting their needs. 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.

     summary: Libraries, and especially li- brary schools, now seek success in the public arena by distancing themselves from traditional notions of libraries and librarianship, not by returning to the core values of the profession that White so vociferously upholds.

     summary: In li- braries and in scholarly coqununication generally, electronic journals hold both the greatest near-term possibility of revo- lution and also pose the most pressing challenge of deciding just what to do with them. This issue of Library Trends is required reading for anyone who is beginning to grapple with electronic journals, electronic information generally, or the changes in scholarly communication.

      flesch: 58
     summary: Larry Ostler and Therrin C. Dahlin, librar- ians at BYU and part-time library school instructors (presumably at the now closed BYU library school), contribute sixty pages, briefly discussing the history of library education and the social changes affecting it, the nature of the profession of librarian, the need for strategic plan- ning, and the importance of accreditation for schools and certification for practitio- ners; and then offer a proposal to revamp the system of library education. 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: Mary Niles Maack, in Women As Vision- aries, Mentors, and Agents of Change, outlines the dismal regression of women library school faculty from the age of missionaries and mentors (1887-1923) through a transitional period of professionalization that began to exclude women (1923-1950) to the era of the mas- culine professoriate (1951-present). Another kind of missionary zeal char- acterizes Women, Information, and the Fu- ture: to empower women by organizing and disseminating information on legal rights, health, employment, politics, and the environment.

     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.

     summary: A Call to Arms Bonnie Juergens For this respondent, the bottom line in commenting on Choosing Our Futures is the answer to two questions: (1) How accurate are Stoffle, Renaud, and Veldof in defining the current academic library environment and explicating the need for change in academic libraries? 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.

      flesch: 49
     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.

      flesch: 51
     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.

        date: 1996-05-01
       words: 6038
      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.

     summary: Studies into how much series title searching occurs, what sorts of series searches users employ, and the types of series titles that benefit from cross-refer- ences may help determine how library catalogs can better serve users. It should be emphasized that these 2,793 searches do not represent the total number of series title searches that oc- curred during the period under exami- nation.

     summary: The findings were that there did, in fact, seem to be a positive rela- tionship between job satisfaction and faculty status. Job turnover by itself was quite unrelated to the issue of faculty status. ~~~ n 1973, Arthur McAnally and Robert Downs published a landmark article pointing out the recent dramatic increase in turnover rate among directors of uni- versity libraries.

The founding fa- thers left collections and endowments sufficient for these institutions to live off their investments until the postwar pe- riod.

     summary: The fifteen chapters cover the full array of reference service components, for example, library users and reference pa- trons, reference environment, electronic databases and reference assistance, refer- ence training, costs and outcomes, and reference effectiveness. 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.

     summary: Whether considering primary authors or total authors, men continue to be more highly represented among authors from library schools. Ten years later, on the fiftieth anniver- sary of C&RL, Paul Metz selectively up- dated Cline's work, examining the above- mentioned variables and the extent of quantitative methodologies used in articles published in volumes 40 through 49 (1980- 88.)2 One of the most significant findings in Metz' s study was the dramatic increase in the representation of women authors in C& RL since 1979.

     summary: An interdisciplinary review of the literature shows that few authors have devoted attention to library security in higher educa- tion. Sugges- tions include: written emergency procedures, security equipment, and crime prevention staff training, along with safer building design, staff work area rearrangement, more campus involvement in library security, and improved employee/patron communication to ensure a safe, friendly, and pro-library environment.

     summary: The remaining three chapters focus on the three types of search services: virtual libraries, Internet directories, and search tools. Janes provides a useful classification scheme that organizes all the current Internet search services into three categories: vir- tual libraries (topical directories of se- lected resources), Internet directories (topical directories of all known re- sources), and search tools (search en- gines), which provide keyword search- ing capability.

     summary: Prob- ably not, but it deals with fundamental issues of importance to faculties of schools of information studies as they prepare their students for work in the coming decades, as well as for those members of the profession who have an orientation not toward the library as an institution but, rather, toward meeting the challenges of providing accurate, timely, and relevant information in an uncertain future. Wilson's contributed paper, The Future of Research in Our Field, illustrates his continued interest in the development of information studies.

     summary: Fur- thermore, we are often reminded that when the only certainty is dramatic, un- predictable change, we can no longer rely on what worked in academic libraries in the past to be the best approach in the fu- ture.

Wiebe's Self-Rule: A Cultural History of American Democracy (1995) and Lawrence K. Grossman's The Electronic Republic: Reshaping Democracy in the Information Age (1995). After the Revolution it was nurtured and shaped by Washing- ton, Adams, Jefferson, Madison, and oth- ers, although early American leaders dif- fered on how the citizenry should be- come educated and informed, and were ambivalent about the role of the common people in the new republic.

     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.

Additionally, the author wanted to explore the possible explanations for, and impli- cations of, his discovery that academic li- brarians tend to be older than their coun- terparts in comparable professions.

     summary: The fundamental steps in cocitation are the selection of documents or authors for analysis; retrieval of cocitation frequencies, usually by searching the Science Citation Index (SCI) or the Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI); compilation of a raw cocitation matrix; conversion of the raw data matrix to a correlation matrix; analysis of the correla- tion matrix through nonrnetric multidimen- sional scaling (MDS); and finally, interpre- tation and validation of the results.4 Some of the problems inherent in coci- tation studies are similar to those in other ci- tation methodologies, such as a lack of con- sistency in name authority of cited authors and selection of prominent documents or authors within a given field. Figure 1 presents a two-dimensional map of cocited author positions in rela- tion to other authors in the study.

     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.

     summary: The specific research objectives for this study were: 1. to determine users� preferences in searching CD-ROM databases versus print indices; 2. to assess users� confidence in their searching skills; 3. to identify what users need to be- come more effective searchers on CD- ROMs; 4. to assess effectiveness of CD-ROM training sessions; 5. to assess users� satisfaction with CD- ROM services. Analyses of the data revealed that users are satisfied and prefer CD- ROM databases over the print indices.

     summary: Major features of the model include a technology index, subunit power variables, environmental vari- ables, and bases of power variables (structure, coping with uncertainty, centrality, and substitutability). For the independent variables (i.e., the bases of power variables), the highest loadings for the first canonical variate were change in the number of professionals (.60) and change in the number of other staff members (.92), showing a strong relationship between the change in the number of profession- als and the change in the number of other staff members variables with the overall change in staff power variable.

     summary: Members of effective groups carefully test their decision alternatives and match them against the group�s pre- established decision criteria, and criti- cally evaluate each alternative in the same manner that they evaluate the opinions and assumptions of their fellow mem- bers, forcing themselves to consider all aspects of an alternative. Small groups consisting of professional librarians were used to test Hirokawa’s theory, and the results showed that group decision performance is directly related to the group’s efforts to perform critical vigilant decision-making functions.

     summary: He writes of the “culture of greed” taking root in our nation’s col- leges and universities as they become more dependent on corporate funding: huge salaries and luxurious “perks” for university CEOs; “savings” realized through cuts in payrolls from the re- placement of full-time faculty with tem- porary, part-time adjuncts; the hiring of ever greater numbers of administrators who have little or no direct contact with students; hefty increases in tuition with- out decreases in faculty/student ratios. Soley provides several examples of how corporations have taken advantage of changes made in tax and patent laws in the early 1980s which allow companies to reap the benefits of research done at universities.

     summary: It should be noted that there are many variations in the job titles of these people, including head of library systems, auto- mated systems coordinator, library sys- tems manager, and director of systems.5 In addition, it is true that not all of these individuals are librarians, although sur- veys taken in the past few years indicate that the majority are trained as librarians.6 A Model and a Beginning A simple stage model is used here only to help organize and conceptualize the evolution of the systems librarian role. 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.

     summary: It is sug- gested that this linkage helps these programs to maintain and enhance their prestige. ebster noted that in some disciplines in the social sci- ences, such as economics, psy- chology, and sociology, the rankings of the leading graduate programs are published often.1 The rankings of graduate programs leading to careers in major professions, such as engineering, law, and medicine, also are published often. Several factors can influence the pres- tige rankings of graduate programs when those rankings are based on the ratings of deans, top administrators, and senior faculty.

     summary: Exceeding what customers expect from the service is the key to delivering high-quality service.2 TQM principles emphasize the use of a decentralized, team-oriented approach to address the issues causing the gaps in customer expectations and perceptions.3 Analy- 238 College & Research Libraries May 1997 tations: desired service (which reflects what customers want); adequate ser- vice (the standard customers are will- ing to accept); and predicted service (the level of service customers believe is likely to occur).5 Their research also sup- ports the theory that customers gener- ally use five factors, or dimensions, as their criteria for judging service quality. Various teams, referred to as Clouds, have been created in the library to address issues of service quality per- tinent to library customers.

     summary: The concept of the academic library as a learning organization is not new; library staff have depended on one an- other and the collective learning envi- ronment of the library and its closely associated constituencies for many years. We are witnessing more people working among various units in the li- brary; thus, we have a greater interde- pendence among library staff.

Three essays, those of David Mont- gomery (Yale), R. C. Lewontin (Harvard), and Noam Chomsky (M.I.T.), describe the forces that generated a climate in which the prevailing Cold War ideology shaped the development of academic departments, curriculum, re- search priorities, and the hiring (and fir- ing!) of faculty.

     summary: The Adman in the Parlor may be read for fun and profit by any librarian who makes purchases, reads magazines, or thinks about American culture. 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.

     summary: In any case, only a few of the documents compiled are con- cerned with department head positions and are able to provide a snapshot of library department head responsibilities in the libraries surveyed. Larry Oberg and Fred Heath have articulated the logic and value of faculty appointments for librar- ians.3 Although Lucas’s observations are analogous to the library department head in many ways, it probably is true that personnel and operations management is the primary focus for department heads in libraries, as opposed to faculty develop- ment per se.

     summary: Although the uniformity in searching and database appearance has made it easier to access multiple data- bases and to interpret results, it has made it more difficult to distinguish among electronic resources and to guide users in database selection. Conclusions and Recommendations Now that the commi�ee has outlined two basic ways that presentation and descrip- tion of databases can be improved, and has identified places where undergradu- ates are making mistakes using the cur- rent Session Manager, it has begun to fo- cus on finding out more about why these mistakes occur.

     summary: The survey findings present impor- tant information for libraries that currently host residency programs or are considering implementing new residency programs in the future, as well as for library educators. Findings and Implications Libraries use a variety of recruitment methods to a�ract new professionals to residency programs, including traditional employment tools such as position an- nouncements in professional publica- tions, as well as brochures distributed to graduate library education programs.

     summary: In an a�empt to survey librarians who are rela- tively new to the profession (whom the authors defined as those who have held professional academic library positions for five years or less), people with obvi- ous administrative appointments such as deans, directors, assistant directors or deans, department heads, etc., were eliminated from consideration. Although there is some variation in its suggested content, there is agreement that a résumé is an important component of the application for academic library openings.12 Despite a�empts to guide individuals to the appropriate construction and con- tent of a résumé, the authors do not know whether academic library applicants actually consult such resources when pre- paring an application.

     summary: This corresponds to numerous studies which have shown that workers across a variety of occupations o�en pre- fer to use sources that are close at hand (referred to informally as the “arm’s- length rule”), even though there may be be�er sources available elsewhere.1 Libraries do not figure very promi- nently as information sources for univer- sity professional staff. The question that then arises is how to make them aware of the library system’s resources (including both mate- rials and personnel) at the time they are engaged in intensive research and writing and do need to make use of a wider range of information sources.

     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.

     summary: Because CAI effectiveness was no longer the primary issue, the authors felt that a more qualitative survey featur­ ing open-ended questions would more likely elicit the types of responses they were seeking. 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.

     summary: The articles are grouped into six main themes: the role of informa­ tion in economically developing societ­ ies; information-sharing through human resource networks; information and problem-solving; information policies; information education and training; and transnational corporations and It is re­ freshing to read work that declines to use the clichéd assumptions and reli­ gious fervor typical of so much writing on information technology.

     summary: This status-based system has been challenged by an increase in inter­ disciplinary scholarship, the develop­ ment of a core curriculum, and the rise of networked information systems. Editor Lawrence Dowler, associate li­ brarian of Harvard College for Public Ser­ vices, uses the concept of gateway to elaborate on the changes that the col­ leges library system needs to address as it prepares for library services into the next century.

     summary: “Catching Our Breath” What little is known empirically about the state of our organizational devel­ opment comes from a 1995 survey by the Association of Research Libraries.1 It found only rudimentary changes under way—in the main, that a third of its mem­ ber institutions were reallo­ cating staff from technical services to public services. 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: Concluding Remarks The new service model for serials access has three main strengths: It provides for informed planning, improved relations with the faculty, and new resources and services at a fraction of cost savings. As for the access-versus-ownership thresh­ old value ($18), it could have been doubled without lowering the share of cost savings by more than two percent­ age points.

     summary: Regional mythologies and folk­ lore have been emblematic of the American South probably more than of any other region: When not trivialized or caricatured, Southern folk cultures have been loved nearly to death, as in Cajun cooking or “quaint” mountain music. Part I deals with issues of documentation of southern folk culture through strategies such as film, sound recording of musical traditions, and oral history.

        date: 1998-05-01
       words: 6401
      flesch: 56
     summary: Taking the place of human help are ever more sophisticated types of machine help. Implications for the Profession Taking into account the convergent trends making machine help ever more perva­ sive, and granting that some version of the Alex scenario may come to pass, it could be argued that doing away with human help in academic libraries would not in fact be a big step.

Other Measures Ethelene Whitmire The purpose of this study is to determine the influences that affect the development of critical thinking skills in undergraduate students.

     summary: It would appear that in 1997, more catalogers were handling disserta­ tions and theses than in 1987 (55.1% com­ pared to 50.9%), rare books/special col­ lections materials (51.1% compared to 40.8%), and government documents (53.4% compared to 47.3%). Automation definitely has decreased the amount of original catalog­ ing done in academic libraries, and there is agreement in the literature that tasks for­ merly assigned to professional catalogers have shifted downward to paraprofes­ sional support staff members.1–4 Much dis­ cussion has focused on what has been called the “deprofessionalization” of tech­ nical services and cataloging, with various attributions of cause.5–7 The commonplace nature of biblio­ graphic utilities, user-friendly OPACs,

     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: Although there was no significance between overall job satisfaction and the general employee–supervisor relation­ ship (Q13), there was a moderate correla­ tion between job satisfaction and having a supervisor who encourages profes­ sional growth (Q1, rho = .49). Is the level of job satisfaction felt by Afri­ can Americans influenced, positively or negatively, by the same factors that affect their nonminority peers?

     summary: In private communication with the editors, they said there is no rule against citing e-print numbers, but they just have not yet encountered citations to electronic preprints.

     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.

     summary: Academic libraries, one of the key players in providing and structuring instructional resources and services, also are expected to document how their performance contributes to institutional goals and outcomes. Using accreditation and ACRL sectional standards/criteria, higher education outcomes assessment research findings and recent findings from performance effectiveness studies, this article identifies important institutional outcomes to which academic libraries contribute; describes specific performance indicators whose measures of impacts and outputs provide evidence about progress and achievement; and offers a conceptual framework of assessment domains for the teach­ ing–learning library. n increasingly important con­ cern for academic librarians is how to document and measure the ways that the library, learn­ ing resources, and computer services units make a real difference in the aca­ demic quality of life for students and fac­ ulty.

     summary: The objectives of the Undergraduate User Needs Assessment Survey were: � to learn how undergraduates access library resources and services; � to learn what library services, re­ sources, and facilities undergraduates use for study and research; � to identify undergraduate percep­ tions of library resources; � to learn how satisfied undergradu­ ates are with library resources and services; � to identify undergraduate unmet needs. Content analysis of these ques­ tions along with data from the forced- choice questions point to areas requiring attention—namely physical facilities, per­ ceptions of library staff, staffing of service desks, and awareness of library services and resources.

The primary objective of the survey was to determine whether “librarians with faculty status have a greater oppor­ tunity for tenure and promotion than li­ brarians with academic or professional status.”

     summary: One chapter is devoted to the implica­ tions of research misconduct for libraries and librarians. Whether it is called research misconduct, academic dis­ honesty, or just plain fraud, the subject goes well beyond simple plagiarism and includes the intentional fabrication and falsification of scientific, medical, or aca­ demic research generally.

     summary: Notwith­ standing the ambiguity associated with the unprecedented rate of change occur­ ring in academic libraries, for some inex­ plicable reasons, there is a shortage of transformational library leaders who can formulate a compelling vision and make it happen. If bud­ gets remain insufficient, library leaders will have to find ways to innovate by sub­ stitution (i.e., stop doing certain things to free up resources for more important ini­ tiatives).

     summary: Using the Contingent Valuation Method to Measure Patron Benefits of Reference Desk Service in an Academic Library David W. Harless and Frank R. Allen The authors apply a survey technique known as the contingent valua­ tion (CV) method to estimate the economic value that patrons attach to reference desk service in an academic library. The authors surveyed 382 students and faculty eliciting willingness to pay (WTP) for reference desk services: WTP to maintain existing hours, WTP to keep the desk open an additional eighteen hours per week; and WTP to add 18.5 more hours (all hours the library is open).

     summary: The results of the first part of the survey, which dis­ cussed the resume content perceptions of academic library applicants new to the profession and the sources they consulted in preparing an application, have been reported previously.4 The purpose of this article is to report the findings from the second part of the survey regarding their application practices. However, it is encouraging to learn that very few applicants forward unrequested application materials such as transcripts or placement files and that a large number of applicants realize the value of contacting libraries to clarify questions about an opening before apply­ ing.

     summary: Academic librarians who have been left puzzled by encounters with the current generation of college students may well find their experiences described in this study of the 1990s collegiate culture based on surveys conducted between 1992 and 1997 of 270 chief student affairs officers and 9,100 undergraduates, and supple­ mented with on-site interviews of staff and students. 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: The new para­ digm that community colleges are learn­ ing, not teaching, institutions is high­ lighted by a review of the efforts of six community colleges in establishing learn­ ing colleges: Sinclair Community College (Ohio), Jackson Community College (Mich.), Lane Community College (Ore.), College System of Maricopa (Ariz.), Palomar College (Calif.), and Community College of Denver (Colo.). The foreword by K. Patricia Cross, David Pierput Gardner Professor of Higher Education at the Uni­ versity of California, Berkeley, reflects the book’s overall tone in her statement that “this work provides an exciting model for community colleges of the future.”

     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.

     summary: Li­ brarians, and some faculty, understand the urgency in acquiring these resources: if the institution is to remain competitive with its peers and to attract students and new faculty to the campus, it must be re­ sponsive to rapid changes in scholarly communication. 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: One researcher notes, however, that much of the evidence cited to date linking humor with good health and psychological well-being is anecdotal and that more empirical study is needed.5 Humor is free and available to anyone, so it is important to know the effects of humor and the extent to which it can help people deal with sickness and stress. “In work­ place writing, many people assume a per­ sona, don a dour attitude and avoid us­ ing humor, thinking they may not be taken seriously if they do.”16

     summary: A similar correlation exists between research out­ comes and library resources in major re­ search universities throughout the world.5 In terms of research outcomes, there is still a gap between key universities in China and their counterparts in the rest of the world. Historically, there have been two types of libraries within a university in China: university libraries and departmental li­ braries.

     summary: The particular contribution that Molly Abel Travis (associate professor of English at Tulane University) hopes to bring to the field of reader response theory is to ex­ amine reading communities or cultures as defined by race, gender, class, and age. Despite, or perhaps because of, the im­ portance of a largely quantitative infor­ mation science in the recent history of li­ brarianship, efforts to introduce us to, and school us in, qualitative research are now much more common than they once were.

     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. King investigated the main, front-end home page of all 120 ARL It may be assumed that any librarymounting a Web site does so withinthe context of an institution thatoffers Web access on publicworkstations or has expectations thata critical mass of its users hasInternet access from off-campus. library Web sites and identified common elements of the typical ARL library home page in the areas of page background, document headers, document footer, graphics, hypertext links, unlinked text, and page length.5 Among his findings was the frequent appearance of identifying titles, the <mailto:> tag to the author/cre­ ator, text­based hyperlinks to home page content, and text consisting of welcome messages and/or descriptions of hyperlinks The average main screen con­ tained approximately twenty­two hypertext links A useful article on Web page organiza­ tion was written by Steven W Sowards, who identified depth criteria to describe the design of ready reference sites of mostly academic library home pages 6 Group I sites May 1999 place all their links on a single page.

     summary: They empha­ sized that library centrality can only be based on the library’s contributions to the university’s mission of teaching and re­ search, as well as its national recognition or ranking.

      flesch: 40
     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: Although additional articles by Illinois librarians were identified through keyword search­ ing in other databases, or by self-report­ ing, the corporate source field in the cita­ tion databases was the most effective way of identifying Illinois authors. It is im­ portant to note that collaborative authors who were not Illinois authors or not aca­ demic librarians were included in the to­ tal number of authors per article but were not counted in any of the tabulations on Illinois authors.

     summary: In the case of the advancement of diver­ sity in LIS education, this author prefers to see the glass as being half full, which is to say that more people who represent a variety of racial, ethnic, and cultural backgrounds are enrolled in LIS programs and employed in the LIS professions to­ day than in the past. This article discusses is­ sues of diversity in LIS education programs and how these efforts can be addressed positively to better serve students and their future users.

     summary: Major moves are stressful, aggravating, and physically ex­ hausting, but they present the library with a team-building opportunity that is un­ matched by any other project because every employee—regardless of rank—is affected and can be involved. Because I have been involved in several moves at two other institutions, and because this par­ ticular move has dominated my recent work life, I was keenly interested in re­ viewing Elizabeth Habich’s book.

He urges librarians to implement collection development policies for reference collections and of­ fers practical advice on the elements of such a policy.

     summary: A number of professional organizations have recently assembled lists of compe­ tencies needed in the future.2 If compe­ tencies similar to the ones in these lists are desired, LIS programs will necessar­ ily be reshaped and perhaps lengthened. The tension between practitioners and educators has been in­ tensifying over the past few years as many LIS schools have undergone change, usually in response to pressure from their parent institutions; and it is be­ ing exacerbated by the lack of effective means of communication.

     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.

     summary: He ponders the possible changes in book storage and dis­ tribution, and reviews the issues of port­ ability, durability, versatility, and accept­ ability as they concern electronic books. Yet, there is con­ siderable hand-wringing over the loss of reading discipline that comes from the reading of hypertext books.

     summary: On one level, it is a kind of Festschrift, actually a Selbstfestschrift, in that it places a monument to what, by all the accounts collected here, was an enor­ mously successful spurt of innovation in the field of library digitization. With this exception, it is in fact the depth and breadth of transatlantic coop­ eration in the area of library digitization that impresses the North American reader.

     summary: With user expectations exceed­ ing existing library resources, library managers must manage intelligently and strategically to provide the best services possible to current and future users. Creativity should not be con­ sidered off-limits to managers; quite the contrary, they should be encouraged to use their creative skills to the hilt.

     summary: The decision was made to focus on paraprofessional cataloging positions be­ cause the tasks performed in cataloging are more standardized across libraries than seems to be the case for other types of library positions. When the university established a committee to make recommendations about career ladders within the library “job family,” the opportunity was taken to address the issue of education require­ ments for specific library positions.

     summary: Thumbing through Web Sites Before the development of the graphical user interface (GUI), Internet resources were text files. Rethinking Bibliographic Control We must ask ourselves what we want to see in the future of catalog­ ing and what the acceptable norm of organization for the electronic world is if not cataloging as usual.32 Because Web sites are not like books, it is reasonable to believe that traditional approaches to bibliographic control need to be reevaluated for Internet resources.

     summary: One may, or may not, find the jocularly face­ tious letter amusing, but it is a mighty weak reed to support, as Moran would have it, an indictment of moral failing in academe: “For someone studying the phenomenon of toleration of falsification, the compilation of [my] Reunion Direc­ tory was a real eye-opener.” Like most authors writing about sci­ ence in the past forty years, Moran fre­ quently invokes Thomas Kuhn, usually (in Moran’s repeated phrase) with reference to “paradigm-busting” opinions and their suppression. 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.

     summary: Access to electronic information is now so ubiquitous in higher education that this past summer an officer of a regional accreditation association sent a letter to academic library directors in his region posing this question: Is a li­ brary an absolute prerequi­ site for a degree-granting institution of higher education, or is it, instead, an in­ dicator of some increasing level of qual­ ity above an accepted minimum? Within the past few months, I have had several commu­ nications with academic library directors whose presidents or deans seek to remove or reduce elements of faculty status for the librarians.

     summary: Onwuegbuzie found that many graduate students procrastinate at various stages of the research process, including while engaged in the literature review pro­ cess.19 Because many students also experi­ ence library anxiety while conducting re­ search, it is likely that academic procrasti­ nation is related to library anxiety, although this has not been tested empirically.20 This study investigated the relationship between academic procrastination and library anxiety at the graduate level.

     summary: Web versus Live Instruction During the fall 1998 semester, all students enrolled in Project Renaissance were scheduled for library instruction sessions. “As li­ braries become more complex and as more information is available with faster and easier access, it appears the future of library instruction is becoming more im­ portant than ever.

     summary: As libraries have increasingly added elec­ tronic product subscriptions to their hold­ ings, librarians have had to deal with li­ cense contracts filled with myriad provisions about ownership, access, li­ ability, warranty and governing law, of­ ten expressed in legal terms that are ar­ cane or deceptively straightforward sounding. This monograph is the latest in a series about legal issues in libraries that the authors have written since 1993 for Neal-Schuman; previous entries include Libraries and Copyright Law, Library Patrons and the Law, and Technology and Copyright Law:

     summary: For libraries to provide the high quality of service users have grown to expect, librarians must become lifelong learners and develop an understanding of the increasingly complex nature of in­ formation resources. Appendix B provides excerpts from the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 that apply to libraries and archives, and Appendix C offers a philosophical view: the International Coalition of Li­ brary Consortia’s “Statement of Current Perspective and Preferred Practices for the Selection and Purchase of Electronic Information.”

     summary: The correlation between those who sup­ ported e-journal development and previ­ ous experience with electronic journals produced a Kendall’s tau value of .171, in­ dicating a slightly positive correlation be­ tween the two statements. It is suggested that edito­ rial gatekeepers may view electronic journals as an extension of the informal communication system of the disciplines rather than as a me­ dium for supplanting the traditional paper format of academic journals.

Investigation of print culture in this century is also complicated by an array of media that include newspapers Book Reviews 175 and periodicals, broadsides, pamphlets, and posters which reflect the activities of various communities, organizations and movements, and individuals.

     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.

     summary: The fast-food concept of quick service may have had the effect of raising the expectations of library users. In academic libraries, these people include both librarians and library users themselves, the students and faculty.

     summary: The advantages and disadvantages to using JCR citation data for journal management are outlined, and a literature review summa­ rizes reported uses of these data by libraries and scholars. Following is a list of disadvantages to or limitations of JCR citation data: • Only a fraction of all scholarly jour­ nals are included in the JCR, so data may not be available for the journal the re­ searcher is interested in.

     summary: Although much library history consists of journeyman spadework that only an aficionado could really love, D.W. 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: But how did their predeces­ sors, long before electric power and pho­ tography became practical realities, make record copies of data except by laboriously, and sometimes inaccurately, hand-copying everything? Anne Woodsworth states in her foreword that “No matter what work arena graduates wish to enter, the core curricula they take will have to incorporate areas such as in­ troduction to information science, infor­ mation storage and retrieval, database searching, metadata management, knowl­ edge management, information process­ ing, human–computer interaction, elec­ tronic records management, indexing, and information systems management, to name a few.”

     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: Rather than add more layers of experimental services that deplete resources and increase com­ plexity, information service should be reconceived to include new partners in support of the use of technology while undertaking substantially new approaches to on-site and network-based information service. The next generation of academic refer­ ence service must, in fact, broaden and deepen its presence in the network by re­ conceiving the parameters and nature of information service.

     summary: University evaluation committees may come to the table assum­ ing that issues of library resource access or integration would not be revealing as comparative or evaluative criteria. Some of the evalua­ tions were articles or presentation papers by individual reviewers, some were com­ mittee or task force reports, some were raw spreadsheets or checklists correlat­ ing criteria and vendors, and a few were combinations of the above.23–26 Only three of the thirty-two evaluations made any mention whatsoever of access to or inte­ gration of library resources as criteria for selection.27, 28 For at least the initial wave of ALN implementation, this would seem to suggest that the reductionist viewpoint has prevailed and that to a certain extent libraries have been marginalized.

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: I recently had the opportunity to facili­ tate a group of students, teaching faculty, and library faculty discussing the role of computers in the Kansas State University library. If a university en­ acts a policy for student laptops, by the time this policy is phased in the library computers will need replacement any­ way.

     summary: Although a doctorate provides a library director with little practical assis­ tance toward fulfilling his or her job, many college and university admin­ istrators seem to expect library directors to have one. This research finds that 20 percent of library directors at Baccalaureate I institutions have doctorates, and 40 percent have second master’s degrees.

     summary: This is less of an increase in collaborative articles than Terry’s article found, but the dis­ crepancy results from the definition of article used for this study. The past editor of C&RL and JAL, Gloriana St. Clair, remarked: “In my time as editor, I was always searching for more articles about colleges and commu­ nity colleges.”54

     summary: Liaison programs provide commu­ nication to teaching faculty about new li­ brary services and strengthen the role of the librarian in facilitating access to the wide range of resources that are available. The book review sections of Psy­ chology of Women Quarterly, Women’s Studies, Signs, Journal of Women’s His­ tory, and Gender and Society also are con­ sulted.7 The Restructured Library Liaison Program In 1998, a working group consisting of the head of technical services, the head of collection development, the coordinator of reference services, and the head of re­ search data services was charged by the library director with developing recom­ mendations for strengthening the role of library liaisons.

     summary: Having the sci-tech background also opened some doors for my first jobs since, apparently, hard science backgrounds are rare in libraries.” A 1985 survey of science librarians found that although only 32 percent had degrees in sci-tech areas, 51 percent had some colle­ giate science training.6 When hiring for sci-tech library posi­ tions, studies show that organizations feel that “it is probably wiser to hire an appli­ cant with the desired science academic background than one without this quali­ fication.”7

     summary: Transition is a key concept in their ap­ proach and may serve to ease the anxi­ eties of those educators who wonder where distance learning fits in with what they already do, how it impacts them, and how (or whether) to get started. In addition to useful ideas for course design and media selection, the book alerts read­ ers to important questions to ask about an organization’s capacity for, and level of commitment to, distance learning.

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.

     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.

     summary: However, a look at the private sector shows that in the year 2000, despite the above-mentioned factors standing in op­ position to diversity efforts, important trends indicate “that diversity is more than just a passing blip on America’s corporate conscience.”5 The rationale for organizational efforts related to diversity efforts often is based on the important consideration of serv­ ing the increasingly diverse population, as well as past inequities and current un­ fairness.

     summary: Second, even assuming that the selection of resources for inclusion in the indexes introduced error, the nature of the one-year increase in electronic resource usage is so large (137.2% increase) that even a signifi­ cant reduction would not erase the obvi­ ous advantage of electronic over print. The rapid growth in electronic usage gives a clear indication that patrons at the Cushing/Whitney Medical Library are eager to use textbooks and journals in electronic formats.

     summary: This section addresses how organizational knowledge can be created and used in internal academic library operations. It also enables libraries to gen­ erate organizational knowledge for higher education institutions.9 Organizational knowledge can be di­ vided into two groups, depending on its centrality to the organization and its ac­ ceptability to workers.

     summary: On the UC-Berkeley campus, initial ef­ forts to assess information literacy skills of undergraduates have been conducted on a periodic and special project basis by a half-time user research coordinator cur­ rently employed in the Teaching Library. The terms information skills and library instruction involve a range of lower-order competencies, including skills such as us­ ing a variety of search systems to retrieve information in various formats, locating information within the library, and differ­ entiating between primary and secondary sources.

     summary: In looking at economic growth in three distinct periods beginning in 1948 and ending in about 1998, a nice, round fifty-year period, analysts have noted that investments in information technology and productivity appear to be related in­ versely and not directly, as we might ex­ pect. Similarly, the great investment in information technologies has not made libraries any less hierarchi­ cal or less centralized.

Its only weakness lies in the author’s failure to examine the mystique of cyberspace and to acknowledge the central role played by government in the commercial­ ization of the Internet.

     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.

Cottam documented the shift in roles, functions, and activities from predomi­ nantly internal affairs to an increasing emphasis on external ones. Finally, library directors, it was noted by the senior management team (pretest interview, site A), have a skill set different from most deans.

The results mean that ongoing efforts to evaluate library service quality would do well to invoke both levels of characteriz­ ing service.

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: 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: In addition, librarians develop and administer information services and teach, instructing users with different educational and demographic back­ grounds, priorities, learning styles, and levels of comfort and facility with librar­ ies, information, technology, and the re­ search process. In Teaching the New Library to Today’s Users, the editors and authors provide a substantive contribution to the discussion of instruction in the context of library and information services.

     summary: Justifiable Reasons and Excuses Lack of time is the most common reason given by academic library directors for not writing scholarly pieces. Regard­ less, the lack of time issue is real among academic library directors, who today spend an unprecedented amount of time on business-type issues that library direc­ tors formerly did not have to perform (e.g., fund-raising).

     summary: However, academic libraries generally do not col­ lect such material, and if they do, they often discard it when its circulation slows or when it stops mirroring the practices of public libraries. To determine ownership of these best- sellers by academic libraries, the union catalog of libraries that were members of the Associated College Libraries of Cen­ tral Pennsylvania (ACLCP) was searched for each individual title.

     summary: Further, it demonstrated that specific guidelines must be created for electronic pathfinders because they pose particular problems that are not addressed in the current literature about pathfinders in general. For example, Mount Allison (ranked first in the prima­ rily undergraduate category) did not have electronic pathfinders referring to more than electronic resources, and so the schools ranking second, third, and fourth were included.

     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.

     summary: Arms correctly points out that many people who grew up with the Internet believe they have “discovered” online information systems and are com­ pletely unaware that the concepts form­ ing the basis of digital libraries were long ago researched and developed by the li­ brary community. Computer scientists, writes Arms, are the hares of digital libraries, whereas large libraries— and by extension, one can infer, their li­ brarians—are the tortoises.

     summary: The advent of globalization, the rise of multinational corporations, and the rapid development of digital networks that span continents challenge higher education systems ev­ erywhere. In its cur­ rent form, public higher education in Cali­ fornia is built on three systems: the Cali­ fornia Community Colleges (CC), the Cali­ fornia State University (CSU), and the University of California (UC).

     summary: Thus, the Web may foster critical thinking and of­ fer a more challenging and varied learn­ ing experience for the student.52 Disadvantages of CAI Although computer-assisted instruction techniques offer numerous advantages over other formats of library instruction, these methods are not infallible. Sixty-nine percent of these students agreed or strongly agreed that the guide was easy to use, compared to an overall score of 63.6 percent; 63.6 per­ cent of these students agreed or strongly agreed that it helped them find books and magazines, compared to 59.2 percent overall; and 54.5 percent preferred it to library instruction, compared to 50.4 per­ cent overall.

     summary: As Eisenberg and Doug Johnson pointed out, students often use such tools dur­ ing synthesis; without the presence of the appropriate tools, the stage is unlikely to be observed.16 Librarians in wired academic librar­ ies will not be startled to hear that slightly under 20 percent of the questions revealed “system problems,” problems that were outside the scope of the IPS process (usually hardware problems, not information problems) but directly im­ peded it by preventing access to an in­ formation source or extraction of infor­ mation from a source. Traditionally, reference encounters have been considered in terms of the type of question or the type of patron involved.

      flesch: 52
     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.

     summary: John D’Angelo and Sherry K.

The authors concluded that library Web sites fail to take into account how people approach the information problem and often reflect traditional library structures.

     summary: On the other hand, White does not hesitate to question whether libraries are crucial to society, to decry the fact that librarians are not asser­ tive enough (particularly in seeking ad­ equate salaries), and to prefer managers to leaders in creating successful libraries. 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

Number of Monthly Exported Authority Records In March 2000, when the cataloging staff became familiar with the new online cataloging system and when the catalog­ ing work flow also became more stable after the system migration, the catalog­ ing staff was asked to keep as accurate a daily record as possible of the number of authority records that were searched from the OCLC Authority File and the number of authority of records that were actually found and exported into the library’s local cataloging system.

     summary: Al­ though many important concepts are dis­ cussed, the key issue raised by Jantz is the importance of creating a reusable platform to support Web publishing no matter the content and nature of the specific database. In this chapter, Richard Gartner discusses the importance of standards, and his argument for XML as perhaps the best standard for Web publishing might well become required reading for any librarian interested in creating Web-accessible da­ tabases.

     summary: One of the objections to unobtrusive testing has been that in most libraries fac­ tual questions make up a relatively small percentage of all reference inquiries, and therefore poor performance in answering such questions, though lamentable, can­ not be taken as an adequate assessment of overall reference service. Dilevko’s proxies tele­ phoned reference desk personnel at the central branch of the twenty most popu­ lous metropolitan areas in Canada to ask selected questions from the current news.

     summary: He must do this not only to be able to serve his constituents, but also to func­ tion as an accepted member of the pro­ fessional and managerial staff of a mod­ ern organization.5 Lewis-Guodo Liu pointed out that the emer gence of Internet resources and services in busi­ ness has created a new responsibility for business librarians: “Business librarians have to identify, select, evaluate, and or­ ganize business information on the November 2001 Internet to meet the information needs of their local patrons.”6 These results suggest that traditional education and training for business librarians are less than ad­ equate.

     summary: At first reading, academic librarians may see much to praise in Brown and Duguid’s reminder of the undeniable place of librarians—and others—in ensuring broader information availability. 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.

Al­ though the author has outlined the basic requirements of digitization, from selec­ tion through delivery of the digital prod­ uct, he has not produced a detailed guide to the process.

     summary: With the passing of the Digital Millen­ nium Copyright Act and the increased interest in Internet copyright—and in Vir­ ginia and Maryland, with the passage of UCITA (Uniform Computer Information Transaction Act)—an increasing number of people, including many librarians, are trying to sift through the complexities of copyright law. The first half of Digital Copyright in­ cludes rather detailed descriptions of how copyright law has been created, shaped, and reshaped over the last century.

     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: However, at other times, the terms library orientation and library tour are used to de- fine a full-blown classroom instruction session.11 The literature on library tours reflects the evolution of tour formats, from guided walking tours to today’s virtual Web tours. Guided tours have long been a standard in academic libraries.12,13 De- spite their prevalence, the perceived value of guided tours is mixed.

This article chronicles that challenge and documents the events that led to the retention of faculty status by the librarians.

     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).

     summary: Garber leaves us with three general types of distinctions, corresponding roughly to the material covered in each of the three chapters: the amateurs ver- sus the professionals; the disciplines ver- sus neighboring disciplines, or fields of study in relation to other fields; and fi- nally the kind of inclusive versus exclu- sive uses of language that we most readily associate with occupational groups jeal- ously guarding the territories they lay claim to, sometimes with legal support and sometimes with next to nothing to restrain the competitive edge. 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.

      flesch: 44
     summary: Despite its oversimplification, the belief that “everything is going to be online” influences decision makers not to fund requests for new libraries. Based on the decline in the number of people coming into libraries, the decrease in the number of reference queries, and the significant increase in the number of electronic resources acquired, decision makers are asking, “Why do we need a new library?”

     summary: Moreover, several programs for enhanc- ing information literacy in both traditional and Web-based teaching environments have been published.2,3 Despite the impor- tance of monitoring the success of these programs, very few studies have ad- dressed how any improvements achieved in information literacy can be measured.4 One goal of this investigation was to de- vise an instrument for measuring informa- tion literacy using the Association of Col- lege and Research Libraries’ (ACRL) In- formation Literacy Competency Standards for 112 College & Research Libraries March 2002 Higher Education as a guide in combination with a survey previously used for the study of information literacy of physical science graduate students.5,6 Earlier studies have pointed to the im- portance of partnering academic librar- ians with faculty members to integrate information literacy programs into the general brown.p65 Integrating Information Literacy into the Science Curriculum 111 111 Integrating Information Literacy into the Science Curriculum Cecelia Brown and Lee R.

      flesch: 44
     summary: Many mainstream library issues, such as intellectual freedom, obvi- ously affect East Asian collections as well.20 A team-based environment brings about more opportunities for sharing knowledge between East Asian studies librarians and other librarians and for working together to provide holistic librarywide services for the customers in East Asian studies. 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.

     summary: Wolfgang M. 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.

Sylvia Huot uses the poetic compila- tions of fourteenth-century poet Watriquet de Couvin to explore the ways in which books are used as metaphors for the self, a self awaiting reading and ex- amination.

     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.

     summary: Although “information” receives wide- spread usage among librarians, the word itself has received modest attention in the historical and cultural contexts of library and information science. In Weaver and Wiener, one finds a link between commu- nication and scientific information in their articulation of a scientific theory of com- 292 College & Research Libraries May 2002 munication, a link that is essential to the development of a post-World War Two global exchange of ideas through commu- nication networks.

     summary: Historically, librarians have had little tol- erance for notes scribbled in book mar- gins, seeing no pardonable difference be- tween them and other forms of book defacement. 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.

     summary: Public libraries— with their mission to, in the words of con- tributor Kathleen de la Peña McCook, ”develop a climate of openness by defin- ing library policies to create an institution where all are welcome”—are uniquely positioned to counteract this. If we look at the institutions that embody and best symbolize our democratic ideals, libraries are at the fore- front, especially in their defense of free and open access to information for all people.

     summary: The televi- sion screen and the computer monitor— single eyes obliterate true perspective and depth, transmission speeds compress dis- tance into nothingness, roving and sta- tionary cameras focus on the surface of the mundane and the suspect in complete absence of historical and psychological understanding. In 145 pages, Virilio’s historically grounded and eclectically informed mind meanders through, and comments on, top- ics as diverse as: the frontier as American icon; genetic engineering; the soft stupor Book Reviews 297 that defines the contemporary human con- dition; the loss of the body’s sacred stand- ing in art; the surveillance capacity of in- formation technology; the decline of socia- bility and eloquence; the replacement of the human in space exploration by the me- chanical; the displacement of electoral campaigns with opinion polls; and the seemingly perpetual adolescence of hu- man adults.

       title: Challenges That Academic Library Directors Are Experiencing as Perceived by Them and Their Supervisors

       words: 9498
      flesch: 54
     summary: If the director ’s po- sition itself lacks stability, then there is a great potential for the entire staff to respond negatively and for the organization’s services to suffer.13 Donald E. Riggs and Gordon A. Sabine’s 1988 study of twenty-five library leaders (academic library directors were included, but not exclusively) provided insight into their self-identified leader- ship characteristics, how they would sug- gest a newcomer become a leader, and what leadership attributes they predict would be needed in 1998. 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: The analysis focused on the extent to which scholars are using electronic resources and the types and subject areas of online resources that are being referenced. Results indicate a growing reli- ance on electronic resources by scholars, a high occurrence of nontraditional types of resources, and a relatively high use of interdisciplinary references.

     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: These findings imply that library Web sites have not alleviated some of the basic and long-range problems that have challenged librarians in the past. Not only do library Web sites offer informa- tion about policies, items, and services available in the physical library, they also conveniently deliver electronic resources, such as electronic journals, reference tools, research guides, and electronic books, directly to the patron’s computer screen.

Urgo explains that Generation X librar- ians have a different perspective on work than those from previous generations; they see their relationship with their em- ployers as being “an even exchange of expertise for pay and benefits.”

     summary: Suter had suggested that we accession important collections, process collections for accessibility in- house, describe collections online with collection-level records in MARC or other standard formats, produce finding aids on the Web, and make archival collections available on the Web. In December 2000, at the Library of Congress, the American Folklore Society (AFS) and the American Folklife Center collaborated with a select group of experts to formulate recommen- dations for the access, preservation, and rights management of America’s folk heri- tage sound collections and to propose “a strategy for addressing this crisis in a col- laborative way.”

     summary: Components to be devel- oped would include preservation policy, preservation funding planning and devel- opment, preservation decision-making models, and preservation cost models that integrate the unique properties which electronic materials and the insti- tutions that house them share. Applying business con- cepts, in combination with archival precepts and collection management principles, to the challenge of preserving electronic records will assist institutions such as archives and libraries in making decisions that will support their mission statements and act in the best interests of their users.

     summary: With the growing size of academic library Web sites, constant updating, authentication issues, and organization are increasingly difficult for li- braries to maintain user-friendly sites. However, a key prob- lem was found in the retrieval of infor- mation due to the small number of re- sources available in Questia.24 The present study takes the examina- tion one step further by comparing the usability of Questia with the usability of traditional library Web sites as well as with another portal offered on the Web.

     summary: As his title makes clear, Bade’s focus is on the number and persistence of errors in shared cataloging databases such as OCLC and RLIN, a problem he sees as only wors- ening with time. And in a time of diminishing budgets, library admin- istrators will not be overwhelmed with the creativity of a suggestion to solve the qual- ity control problem in cataloging by hiring more catalogers, or even paying highly qualified nonprofessional staff more money to do specialized cataloging work.

     summary: Successes can be shared with other libraries and submitted in com- petitions for prestigious awards. Sad to say, most library catalogers who work a forty-hour week for eleven months of the year and keep house and body to- gether in modern times have little time (or energy?) for advanced learning.

     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.

     summary: Although the results of the studies were not entirely unexpected (for example, in the case of children’s librar- ians, interest in the content of the specialty and working with children were primary factors in the decision to adopt the spe- cialty), they point the way to a means for identifying the kinds of individuals who should be approached and persuaded to seek careers as library leaders. 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 current work focuses on issues re- lated to acquiring, processing, and using vendor usage statistics at research librar- ies under the ARL E-Metrics Project. Although these mailing lists do not cover vendor statistics exclusively, there have been a considerable number of postings and threads on both regarding the topic.

     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.

      flesch: 49
     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.

Further, those myriad “challenges” actu- ally and typically arise in fairly rural and remote locales, hardly affecting large numbers of students or library users, and in any event are usually denied, although they do represent opportunities to reex- amine selection decisions and to explain free speech precepts to the challengers.

Neely is correct to argue, for example, both that we know too little about student attitudes toward information literacy instruction and that our instruction programs could be im- proved if we knew more.

This author informally inter­ viewed dozens of school librarians at state and regional conferences (e.g., California School Library Association) and found that school librarians, too, have little time to regularly read their own magazines and to attend workshops and conferences, let alone to read college and research li­ brary literature on IL issues.

Reed, director of the Public Library Service Division of Alabama’s state li- brary agency, fought not only for the in- tegration of Alabama’s public libraries, but also for freedom of speech in the no- torious censorship case involving Garth Williams’s children’s book, The Rabbits’ Wedding, about a black male rabbit and a white female rabbit marrying and living happily ever after.

In special libraries (law, medicine, and corporate libraries) and archival col- lections, the line between advising and assisting patrons should be clear so that librarians will not be accused of mislead- ing patrons.

     summary: From this perspective, it becomes clear that Stoy intended his Picture Academy not only as a source of knowledge, but also as a tool for teaching children how to bring order to the world. In its complete form, Stoy’s Picture Academy is made up of a single volume of fifty-two copperplates, most likely one for each week of the year, and two volumes of explanatory text.

     summary: This publication provides a unique view into the world of scholarly publishing. Despite the large number of books now coming out in the field of publishing his- tory and the flood of books critical of the current state of education, there are no works that treat so thoroughly the history, current situation, and future prospects of scholarly publishing.

     summary: The key drivers that can be expected to shape the future of academic libraries as they move toward the model of 2013 will be the availability of library resources and the demands on their use, alterations in scholarship and scholarly publishing, and changes within the teaching and learning establishment. The transformational agents that have produced dramatic changes in academic libraries in recent years will continue to influence those librar- ies over the next decade, but it should not be assumed that the aca- demic library of 2013 will represent a natural progression from the li- brary of today.

     summary: Sometimes referred to as system knowledge, semantic knowledge represents how learners choose to use system features based on an awareness of their functions and capabilities.24 Al- though earlier findings have demon- strated the importance of semantic knowl- edge when using other information re- trieval systems, research into its role in using search engines is lacking.25�29 Instruction to increase semantic knowl- edge has been used successfully in other domains, such as computer programming and automobile brakes, to increase under- standing and efficient use of these sys- tems.30,31 The focus is on explaining how the system works so that users will better understand how it reacts to input and Users searching the Web have difficulty using search engines and de- veloping queries.

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.

Biases Although the authors made every effort to include as much of the collection as possible within the sample, the necessary exclusion of certain collection materials means that some biases exist in the study.

     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.

     summary: Copyrights and Copywrongs is a cultural his- tory of copyright law, the self-proclaimed goal of which is to explain how essential the original foundations of American copyright law are to the educational, po- litical, artistic, and literary culture of this country. The author makes an eloquent argument for copyright law as it was origi- nally intended, the purpose of which was to encourage creativity and cultural ex- pression, the proliferation of ideas, and the sharing of information.

     summary: The former could then be compared with ISU’s established ILL turn­ around time of nine to eleven days; the latter could facilitate future comparisons with ILL satisfaction times. 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.

For example, in her preface to the book, editor Martine Poulain, in noting the ideological dimen- sions, tensions, and manipulations of the Cold War, writes, “The free world, deci- mated by war, was seeking the rebirth of new ideas and the emergence of freedom of intellect.”

     summary: All three instructors also required a library research assignment and agreed to distrib- ute sections evenly between those taking the online tutorial and those receiving in- class instruction. 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: In the past few years, Michael Gorman has published several books and articles that address the hype about technology and the notion that libraries and librar- ians have no future. His examination of the evolution of commu- nications demonstrates that new tech- nologies were causing our predecessors at the beginning of the twentieth century to ask the same questions about the fu- ture of libraries that we are asking now.

     summary: As the concept of wealth moved from precious metals to land and petroleum, and from those to invisible bits and bytes coursing through networks, it has become universally clear that intellectual property is destined to be the gold of the twenty- first century. The introductory chapter clearly illus- trates how the question of ownership of intellectual property goes far beyond the academic realm, where ownership rights to a faculty member’s lectures have tra- ditionally been a key issue.

     summary: Environmental Factors Despite that flurry of building activity, the central importance of library facilities in higher education planning is no longer assured. However, in an era of escalating technology costs and compet- ing institutional claims for limited capital project resources, it is reasonable for aca- demic administrators to ask whether en- hanced library facilities will provide edu- cational benefits sufficient to justify the investment of scarce resources.

     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.”

Use patterns point to the fact that as interactive media become more wide- spread, users of both sexes tend to replace one medium with the next, so time pre- viously spent watching television is be- ing replaced by time spent play- ing computer games and on the Internet.

Rowing Upstream is the final report on this five-year program, and it attempts to assess the development and availability of African content on the Web, the utilization of and innovation in technology across the continent, growth and support of ICT in African universi- ties, as well as examining the complex web of issues surrounding the work of local agencies, nongovernmental groups, and outside (foreign) donor agencies col- laborating to enhance links within and between African countries as well as to the rest of the world.

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.

     summary: The purpose of Bok’s Universities in the Marketplace: The Commercialization of Higher Education is to investigate the history of aca­ demic connections to commerce, assess the consequences of such alliances, and exam­ ine their potential impact. 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.

     summary: Though many of the job skills required by academic librarians also pertain to public and special librarians, my experience in special libraries leads me to conclude that jobs outside academia would place greater emphasis on commu­ nication, marketing, budgeting, and analyti­ cal skills. This collection of essays will cer­ tainly be of interest to future librarians, but seasoned professionals also will find much that is thought provoking.

     summary: These articles suggest a series of ideas, prob­ lems, and solutions to the application of online subject classification. Though many of the job skills required by academic librarians also pertain to public and special librarians, my experience in special libraries leads me to conclude that jobs outside academia would place greater emphasis on commu­ nication, marketing, budgeting, and analyti­ cal skills.

     summary: Smith also looks at digital preservation as practiced by commercial and university publishers, by the government (led by the Library of 88 College & Research Libraries Congress), and also by such public initia­ tives as the Internet Archive, which has been storing snapshots of the entire Web since 1996 and successfully attracting sup­ port from many corporations and private individuals. 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: In a study that investigated which fac­ tors college students considered to be most effective in avoiding and causing boredom, Small, Dodge, and Jiang found that stu­ dents perceived their instructors to be the primary source of their learning interest and boredom.27 The factors students con­ sidered most likely to cause learning bore­ dom were a dry, monotone delivery style; repetition of information students already knew; the presentation of irrelevant infor­ mation; and a lack of variety of teaching methods. Burdick emphasizes the impor­ tance of information skills instruction that develops both ability (i.e., knowledge and skills) and desire (i.e., motivation).19 http:motivation).19 http:legally.18 http:courses.15 http:learning.14 http:skills.13 http:dents.12 98 College & Research Libraries March 2004

     summary: As a result, librarians are forced to rely on anecdotal evidence alone in making the case that major facility improvements will have a positive impact on library usage. Its conclusions should enable li­ brarians and facility planners to (1) project the likely impact of physical improve­ ments on library usage and (2) determine the types of facility features most likely to contribute to major increases in build­ ing use.

     summary: Even with the technological advances of recent years, digital information has not replaced traditional means of publication and information storage but, rather, has added to it and thus strained the resources of national libraries and archives charged with storing and preserving both tradi- tional and digital information. Digital information is distributed differently, with the library holding a license rather than a physical copy.

     summary: Linda F. Wightman states that during the latter half of the twentieth century, standard- ized tests have played an “increasingly prominent role in the threat to diversity in higher education.” Chapter 4 discusses the social–psycho- logical evidence on race and racism, dem- onstrating the continuing relevance of this issue for diversity in higher education.

     summary: As the title suggests, the contributors and consultant editors represent a num- ber of parts of the world, primarily the United States and the United Kingdom, but also other European countries, Africa, Australia, Asia, South America, Canada, and Mexico. It is unrealistic to assume that any one volume could provide complete and even coverage of library systems and services on all continents and in all countries.

     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: Studying tourism citations from 1994–1996, Richard M. Howey and colleagues found that 77.3 percent of citations in six tourism and hos- pitality journals came from other sources, although they did not define what they meant by “other sources.”40 But, as described above, the universities that employ tourism scholars who frequently publish in tourism research journals own a very large proportion of the core tourism research literature identified in table 4.

     summary: lthough women librarians have long been in the majority at academic libraries, they have recently risen to key leadership positions in the profession.1 At the most prestigious university libraries, the 124 Association of Research Library (ARL) in- stitutions,2 women comprise 52.1 percent of all top administrators and serve as the ma- jority on ARL’s board of directors.3,4 These are impressive gains when one considers that in 1972 women accounted for only 4.6 percent of library directors at these research universities.5 Women also occupy the ma- jority of positions on the executive board and officers’ list of the ALA and the board of directors of the Association of College and Research Libraries (ACRL).6,7 However, these numbers ob- scure the fact that women library directors at the top institutions are generally much be er compensated.

     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.

     summary: Because the authors approach their topic from a different perspective from that of other major texts on intellectual property, their view will likely enhance the general dialogue on public knowledge, property rights, and the future of the information commons.—William C. Welburn, Univer- sity of Arizona. Newspaper and maga- zine articles, Web logs, and monographs abound as their authors consider the legal, social, cultural, and moral entangle- ments of governmental, corporate, and individual interests in accessing and using information and defining what constitutes public knowledge.

     summary: Chapters 2 and 3 provide first a con- ceptual and historical overview (“The Evolution and Functions of Libraries”) and second a conceptual framework (“A Theoretical Framework for Libricide”), which contextualizes the five case studies presented in chapters 4 through 8 (Nazi Germany, Greater Serbia, Iraq’s 1990 attack on Kuwait, the Chinese cultural revolution, and the Chinese attack on Tibet) while a final summary discussion, “The Collision of Ideas,” is presented in chapter 9. Without this slant, the reader could prematurely conclude that the seriousness about the “sky is falling on academic librarianship” is a bit too much.

     summary: Although not a panacea for the dire economic situation faced by many DCHIs, Zorich’s study does offer sound suggestions that can help strengthen DCHIs and assist them find their way to sustainability. Not only are DCHIs having a tough time weathering the current eco- nomic climate, many are facing a potential crisis of economic sustainability.

     summary: Promotion and tenure policies for collegiate faculty are spelled out in great detail in the university’s Faculty Handbook, with more limited guidelines provided for the extra-collegiate faculties.3 The handbook explicitly acknowledges that library faculty promotion and continued appointment deliberations are governed by a separate document, Procedures on Promotion and Continued Appointment: University Libraries, developed by the Li- brary Faculty Association (LFA) and the dean of libraries, the revision of which is the focus of this article. (Prior to 1983, library faculty were awarded tenure under the same rules as collegiate faculty.

     summary: Her definition comes from several sources, including Black’s Law Dictionary, The Oxford English Dictionary, Webster’s Third New International Dictionary of the English Language Unabridged, and K. R. St. Onge’s work, The Melancholy Anatomy of Plagiarism.26 In one of her general education classes at Colgate University, Rebecca Moore Howard found that one-third of her stu- dents plagiarized an assigned paper.27 She characterized student plagiarism as “patchwriting,” which she defined as “copying from a source text and then de- leting some words, altering grammatical structures, or plugging in one synonym for another.” In competitive classrooms across the board, under parent pressure to produce high grades, many students, including those from professional schools, have been found guilty of academic miscon- duct and plagiarism.154–157 This finding has been well documented with scores of studies about high school students by Niels.158 Kibler divided his literature review into “Personal Characteristics of Cheaters” and “Situational Factors In- volved in a Student’s Decision Whether to Cheat.”

     summary: The Eskind Biomedical Library at Vander- bilt University Medical Center also has a long-standing clinical medical librarianship program where librarians work directly with clinical teams within their practice environment.24 A brief, informal e-mail survey conducted by the first author in December 2001 of As- sociation of Academic Health Sciences Libraries (AAHSL) directors illustrated the range of services libraries have developed or are considering imple- menting. This article describes a planning process for the development of bioinfor- matics education and information services in an academic health sciences library.

     summary: The treaty permitted the colonial archives to be removed to Copenhagen, and most of the records were, with the exception of recent police, court, and land records. 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: The enormous success of Dickens’s serial fiction on both sides of the Atlantic in the 1840s created a golden age of magazine fiction that lasted until the very end of the century, when economics and immigration changed the editorial practices at major magazines. At the very least, many of these essays should be welcomed into the canon of preservation literature.

     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: A recent study by the Digital Library Historians and Their Information Sources 403 Federation, the Council on Library and Information Resources, and Outsell, Inc., gives a detailed statistical picture of the use of libraries and information sources by faculty and graduate students in all fields. Her conclusions were based on in-depth interviews conducted with twenty-five historians at the University of Maryland, College Park, in the fall 1988 semester.12 Citation studies, beginning with the dissertation done by Arthur Monroe McAnally at the University of Chicago in 1951 on the materials used in the study of U.S. history, look at information sources used by historians in a different way.

A brief introduction, 450 College & Research Libraries with entry references given in boldface, precedes the dictionary entries, which are followed by a select bibliography ar- ranged in broad subject categories.

     summary: This book presents a clear examination of the current state of cataloging education, sets forth a brief synopsis of the history of education for catalogers, and explores where the future of cataloging educa- tion seems to be headed. I found it inspiring to read the opinions of these authors, who explore the problems concerning the education of catalogers, including the trend toward more theoreti- www.williams 456 College & Research Libraries cal teaching versus hands-on experience in cataloging classes.

     summary: This slight, but satisfying, book joins what seems to be a new genre of memoirs and essays on the pleasures of reading (e.g., Alberto Manguel’s A History of Read- ing, David Denby’s Great Books, Nicholas Basbanes’s Patience and Fortitude). Zaid the author managed to convey to this reader his own passion for books—from his de- scription of learning to read and acquiring the ability to combine individual lett ers of the alphabet into the “miracle of the full word,” to the way mature readers can be liberated, transported from reading the page to reading life itself.

     summary: That the quoted faculty members don’t seem aware that many librarians rou- tinely do attend such meetings, for exactly the reasons given (and, in addition, because a goodly number of academic librarians are publishing scholars in academic subjects) is perhaps understandable, if sad. Teaching faculty members were asked four context-setting questions about broad field, specialty within it, faculty rank, and highest degree awarded by respondents’ institutions, along with eleven questions about their experience with reference librarians and suggestions for what the latter might do to improve or maintain subject awareness.

     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: With this distinction in place, Warner uses primary source information to sug- gest that in the late nineteenth century, the United States was ideally positioned for the development and dissemination of information technologies. These professionals—information scientists, information architects, instructional tech- nologists, and human factors experts, to name a few—have a tremendous wealth of expertise and insight to offer and, con- versely, can benefit from the expertise of the library sector.

     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: User-centered research that att empts to balance the social with the technical has had some effect on the development of digital libraries and has the potential to provide even greater understanding. Although all share a commit- ment to the sociotechnical approach, these essays, like the projects that informed them, explore digital libraries from a wide range of perspectives (so wide, in fact, that the editors judiciously chose not to define the term digital library, allowing the multitude of examples in- cluded to provide institutional borders).

     summary: Although the above description might sound like a totally abstract, academic exercise, most of the essays involve or Book Reviews 185 grow out of real digital libraries with real content designed to serve real people. Another inves- tigates how digital libraries designed to serve large groups of users must scale up concepts traditionally seen as individual or psychological, specifically focusing on “transparency,” the idea that you do not have to know the intricacies of how a thing works to use it.

      flesch: 44
     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.

But the events of 9/11 and their aftermath refocused his attention on what he describes as “information politics” as opposed to what he calls “entertainment politics,” and indeed the book ranges over topics from copyright to philosophies of anarchism, from the future of nation-states to information warfare, from peer-to-peer technology to some really fascinating discussion of global cultural issues.

     summary: The regres- sion coefficients of the first two variables, “confidence before” reference interaction and “friendliness” of reference staff, added to the model were both significant (p = 0.0289 and p = 0.0114, respectively), explaining a total of 14.56 percent of the variation in “confidence a er” reference interaction. Directional questions (referring to the location of books, journals, rest rooms, and so on or having to do with the operation of copiers, computers, printers, or other machinery) were not considered reference interactions for the purposes of this study.

     summary: The attempt of Alfred the Great (849– 899) to devise written fonts for various types of documents in the tenth century and to standardize a national English hand began the demise of the Anglo- Saxon Comprehensive Writing System. Rising costs have precipi- tated changes in the health care system, leaving health care providers with less time and financial incentive for patient education.

     summary: Over the past decade, patient demand has fostered the creation of several databases, regular media segments, and countless Web sites designed specifically to impart health information to consumers of health care services. This is followed by a review of research on the correlation between knowledge of health information and actual health behavior and of health information needs and various media through which people receive health information.

     summary: Landow notes how developers of new media often view their creations as simply versions of old media and thus do not make use of their full potential (e.g., museum Web sites become simply online print catalogs, lacking interactive and multimedia components that are 382 College & Research Libraries possible online). He then illustrates the stretching of such a traditional paradigm by drawing on hypertext theory and the works of poststructuralist literary theo- rists while thinking critically about the University Scholars Programme, which he created and directs for the University of Singapore.

     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.

     summary: ARL has recognized the intralibrary efforts of preservation departments by collecting statistics that address preservation tasks done within a library, but outside the preservation department. Depth of Curatorial Effort In addition to the quality of the digital file and the time needed to create it is the effort of preservation department staff to assist in choosing which items to reformat digitally.

     summary: Paris has a unique power to legislate on literary matters and acts as a Greenwich Meridian of literary time in defining what is modern through the writings of its avant-garde. It is the city in which writers whose genius is not immediately rec- ognized in their own countries find an au- dience (Faulkner and Joyce in particular); a writer celebrated in Paris becomes part of the pantheon of universal writers.

     summary: Expanding the discussion to include ways in which practitioners can be in- volved in theory development, practice- based research done by those working in information organizations, and the way in which faculty members, including those who serve as consultants, can foster the 554 College & Research Libraries communication of theory and research findings would have made Crowley’s book more useful. There are distinctions between theory and representations of theory, but distinctions between “theories, hypotheses, models, slogans, aphorisms, and other mental constructions” are not delineated.

     summary: Many of the scenarios that followed looked equally familiar: the staff person with private problems, the micro-manag- er, the office romance, the “dead wood.” The logical conclu- sion that one might draw from this—that library staff might “go postal”—is one of the reasons for the existence of a study of workplace conflict aimed specifically at the library market.

     summary: This study assesses the extent to which ARL academic libraries collect science fiction novels. A novel was considered “owned” by a library as long as any printing or edition was listed as owned, on order, or even missing, because the intent was simply to see if science fiction novels were being selected.

     summary: Hamaker has advocated the use of data in collection development, stating that intuition is not the key to understanding the usage of library collections. Although the collection and analysis of circulation data have been fairly com- mon practices for some time in libraries, an examination of the existing literature on the topic suggests that circulation data are not being widely used in com- bination with other types of data for collection development decision making.

     summary: In 2001, Kent Anderson and others published a citation study of the journal Pediatrics.6 Using three years of data, they compared articles printed in the journal and available online by subscription with other articles appearing only in a free online addition. Article Duplication as Cause From 1975 through 2003, Emerald (for- mally MCB University Press) engaged in substantial article duplication, where hundreds of articles were republished in different journals with no indication of their original source.3, 4 This dataset provides a natural controlled experiment to test whether the simple act of article duplication may explain increased cita- tion impact.

     summary: Mullen.indd Google Scholar and the Library Web Site: The Early Response by ARL Libraries Laura Bowering Mullen and Karen A. Hartman With the introduction of Google Scholar in November 2004, research libraries faced the decision of whether to integrate this “blended” resource into their collections and services via their library Web sites. A descriptive study of all ARL univer- sity members’ library Web sites also was undertaken to determine how other academic libraries were treating Google Scholar in July 2005.

     summary: Unless some other factor is taken into consideration, though, the distribution http:Report.11 http:quotients.10 Allocation of Costs for Electronic Products in Academic Library Consortia 127 between the two simpler methods of cost allocation, equal division by institu- tion and proportional division by FTE, is necessarily arbitrary. 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: The encyclopedia’s main weakness is that it cites few of the many bibliographies and reference works that might help students and scholars to locate authors beyond those profiled or mentioned here. Freed from the need to cover basic information in their essays, the authors who contributed to the encyclopedia are able to evaluate their subjects with an immediacy and level of engagement o en lacking in reference works.

     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: Based on the responses of the 125 colleges that participated in the survey, the higher the tier in which an institution is ranked in the U.S. News & World Report annual report on America’s colleges, the less likely that librarians will have faculty status or rank, the less likely they will be required to undergo a formal review process, the less likely they will have access to research funds, and the less likely they will be eligible to serve on campuswide faculty committees. great deal has been wri en about the personnel status of academic librarians, ranging from large-scale quantitative surveys designed to ascertain current practices to rhetorical arguments both for and against the increased demands and benefits that accompany faculty status.

     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: She has packaged her conspectus in six categories, each of which includes a generous harvest of digital resources: subject gateways; author studies (including digital editing projects); electronic books (facsimile, encoded, and born digital); reference sources and primary text collections (chiefly commercial); subject and genre collections (e.g., poetry); and teaching applications. Orga- nized research has not been a defining characteristic of humanistic scholarship, and probably for good reason.

     summary: Orga- nized research has not been a defining characteristic of humanistic scholarship, and probably for good reason. Although the scholarship of discovery was the model most often rewarded in the annual review, tenure, and promotion process, he argued, there were ways in which other professional responsibilities might be framed as valuable types of scholarship for which faculty also might be recognized.

The first part of the book, “Progressive and Proletarian Precedents” provides context, including an overview of the early years of children’s book publishing; exami- nation of the demands of librarians, teach- ers, and parents for books appropriate for children; examples of books writt en by leftist authors; discussion of the progres- sive education movement; and description of radical political organizations.

     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.

     summary: Simple OCR of such material to allow free text searches, even assuming the availability of some more advanced search syntax, falls far short of where publications of this type need to be if they are truly to provide the basis for a fully functional corpus. It is clear that this volume acts as companion to the author’s earlier works, as Comic Art does not encompass, say, comic books, but seems rather to be re- stricted primarily to the “funnies,” while still encompassing sports cartoonists and children’s cartoons.

     summary: To stay for a moment with the example at hand: we learn in Foot’s book that sprinkled edges on books were not just decorative, but often helped hide the dirt on the edges; that red and green sprin- kling said “French” to German readers; that sprinkling with red alone suggested 480 College & Research Libraries elegance, but a solid red edge signaled a book that was for peasants. Readers of Mirjam Foot’s book on binding quickly learn how naïve assumptions of randomness are.

     summary: Despite the book’s fragmented design, that virtually dictates the lack of a central argument, in the aggregate this collection presents a broad overview of the current issues confronting academic librarians. The work demon- strates—through in-depth examinations of onscreen characteristics—that the im- ages of reel librarians have changed little throughout the years and that the usual stereotypes persist.

     summary: In order for information literacy instruction to be suc- cessful in secondary schools, collaboration between content area teachers and SLMSs is imperative,16 but teachers who are not information literate themselves are not likely to see the need to collaborate with SLMSs to incorporate information literacy into student learning. Follow- ing are selected comments identifying frequently cited hindrances, including administrative oversight, pedagogy that is not rooted in inquiry-based learning, lack of information literacy skills among content area teachers, lack of collabora- tion, and staffing or budget shortages.

If some readers believe that the results of this study indicate approaches to library skills instruction that are askew or misguided, perhaps these readers would be motivated to provide ideas and arguments for alternative approaches.

     summary: In response to declining numbers of qualified applicants nationwide for librarian positions in academic libraries, the University of Colorado at Boulder Libraries, in collaboration with the University’s Graduate Teacher Program, has developed a fellowship program that encourages gradu- ate students with advanced subject or language expertise to consider careers in academic librarianship. 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,

For example, the first two chapters are primarily geared toward the graduate student in library school who is trying to figure out whether he or she falls into the NextGen librarian category, as well as what this categorizing means in terms of finding a job and for subsequent job- related experience.

     summary: All in all, though, we don’t usually think about how people in the general population seek, successfully or not, to meet information needs. People are trying to sift out meaningful distinc- tions between what information people think they want, what they think they can do to get it, and—not least—what, if anything, they do with it once they obtain it.

     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.

     summary: In themselves these topics would be of particular interest to academic librarians since they help situate library work and collections within a larger intellectual framework and describes something of our own intellectual environment. This fascinating book is much more than a history of print culture and libraries among aboriginal peoples in Canada, as its title suggests.

     summary: It was in this period that aboriginal peoples and their instructors first began to request books in English to create small libraries for their students. This fascinating book is much more than a history of print culture and libraries among aboriginal peoples in Canada, as its title suggests.

     summary: The final section examines the fates of libraries in times of war, revolution, and power vacuums. In summary, this provocative, well- written, well-edited, and thoroughly documented study deserves a place on the “must read” list of any academic librarian interested in the history of libraries, the social implications of Western notions of literacy, and/or the provision of library services to aboriginal peoples.

     summary: So while a star, a pebble, and a living animal are not documents, photographs and catalogues of stars are documents, stones in a museum of mineralogy are docu- ments, and animals that are cataloged and shown in a zoo are documents. Books and similar written works are types of docu- ments, and, given Briet’s understanding of documents, it follows that librarians are a type of “documentalist.”

Originally taken for granted as an intangible add-on to production and dis- tribution, information and knowledge are now recognized by economists as key ad- ditions of value, and further as values in their own right.

     summary: Nor does Staikos provide us with much guidance about the content and arrangement of libraries, other than noting that the scrolls might either be texts or archival records pertaining to family, business, and politics. One would have thought that a work ostensibly focused on the material in- stantiations of culture would have paid at least some attention to the carriers of texts, but Staikos is not really interested in talking about material formats.

     summary: Whereas libraries with a traditionally undergraduate orientation regard collec- tions in terms of a curricular “service,” research libraries understand the loosely coupled nature of means and ends in what James G. March terms knowledge inventories: “Does society ‘overinvest’ in library books? 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.

Her purpose is clearly achieved, as powerful influences from wars, politics, and society have contributed greatly to the choices and services offered by medical libraries.

     summary: Section IV, called “Evaluation,” turns directly to the topic of Web site usability and offers several essays on Web site usability evalu- ation and usability testing. Librarians, as the stewards often of large and complex Web sites, have a direct and immediate interest in understanding and employing effective Web site usability testing tech- niques.

     summary: And second, assuming that project management skills are important for librarians, is project management currently being taught in library science master’s degree programs? They also reported that, as libraries and librarians acquire more experience with electronic resources and digital projects, more functional areas throughout the institution are involved.27 Therefore, not only does the progression of technology seem to be introducing more opportuni- ties for project-based work in libraries, but the increased complexity caused by a project’s need for expertise from multiple departments leads to an increased need for project management skills in modern librarian jobs.

The guide was still helpful in bringing to my attention certain concepts and properties that are unique to cultural objects.

     summary: In sum, while most libraries should have a copy of How to Think about Informa- tion, there seems to be no pressing reasons why librarians need to assimilate its argu- ments for themselves, given all the other concerns that coping with “information” now puts on the table—David Henige, University of Wisconsin–Madison. Stueart, Robert D. International Librarian- ship: A Basic Guide to Global Knowledge Access. The production, array, and consumption of information right now are enormously more complicated and confusing than they were then, and no one knows exactly in which directions these will go in the near and more distant future.

The book “at- tempts to provide important background directions so [comparative research] can be undertaken more expediently”; the book is intended “as a basic guide for those interested in… the concept of universal librarianship, as well as an aid to profes- sors and students”; the book’s goal “is to provide basic background information for those seeking to study libraries and librari- anship in the global arena.”

     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: 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. She envisions digital libraries becoming more user-centered, as “bridges” are built to encourage the migration of digital objects from the digital library context to individual and collaborative digital workspaces and classrooms.

     summary: This work is a successful, substantial snapshot of digital library development, and one relatively unblurred for having been taken of a subject not only in motion, but motions. The understated elegance and beauty of Penguins in their heyday was in no small measure due to the impact of one of the 20th century’s giants of book design, Jan Tschichold.

     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.

     summary: We would suggest that the presence of an abstract with federated search results be an aspect of such a study since 12 percent of the participants specifically mentioned the usefulness of abstracts in more effi- ciently selecting be er resources. 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).

Although evaluation of reference service has been occurring for at least 20 years, studies to this point do not appear to completely capture the reality of reference as it is practiced by librarians who endorse an instructional approach at their colleges and universities.

     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.

     summary: American colleges had developed a curriculum that inexorably led from the basic introductory classes to the culminat- ing class in moral philosophy in which the president of the college demonstrated inevitably that all of human knowledge leads to whatever dogma were pro- pounded by the protestant denomina- tion controlling the college. 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: “Initiatives” chapters provide information on best practices, including studies of librarian involve- ment in FYE programs across the country, and of the emergence of the “First-Year- Experience Librarian” as a professional position supporting the development of sustainable, programmatic collaboration between librarians and FYE educators. Librarian involvement with FYE programs (and with fi rst-year student instruction more broadly) has been documented many times, but this collection represents the most substan- tial attempt to bring discussions of the academic library as a “critical and central learning environment of undergraduate education in the United States” into the mainstream literature of higher educa- tion.

     summary: Thus, the general research question of this study is: Does organizational learning occur in the procedures of library evaluation? Although there has been recognition of a range of different types of library evaluation, and increasing sophistication in the actual tools of evaluation, there has been insufficient attention to how library evaluation can be integrated into the library as a continuing planning and responding process.13 That is, evaluation should ideally be a built-in process, con- http:process.13 http:sustained.12 http:achieved.11 38 College & Research Libraries January 2008 ducted by the library itself.

     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.

This book, in addition to making splendid reading, is an important reminder that there is so much more to the legal universe surrounding libraries and archives than we imagine.

     summary: For information specialists and librarians who work closely with archaeologists, his demonstration that information behaviors in archaeology are not limited to literature searching, but pervade the entire life cycle of archaeological work, will be of great value. Based on this summary, it seems that Huvila’s primary goal was to develop a qualitative theory of information work in archaeol- ogy and explore how this theory might be Book Reviews 85 used to improve archaeological informa- tion management and knowledge orga- nization, especially in relation to virtual reality systems.

     summary: Although most people and politicians in the United States have largely been liv- ing as if in the Dark Ages when it comes to climate change, the international scientific community has been researching and documenting global warming for decades and knows for certain that the observed changes are not part of earth’s natural climate cycle but are caused directly by human activity. Johansen focuses chapter 1, “Weather Wars: Hard Science and Hardball Poli- tics,” on the world of James E. Hansen, director of NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Science and a true (and truth- ful) expert on climate change.

     summary: Johansen gives a thorough examina- tion of this complex case, beginning in the preface to Silenced when he describes his own connection to the case and in chapter 4 telling the fascinating story of how Churchill’s detractors used his own shortcomings as a scholar to fuel their virulent attacks to bring him down. Chapters 5 and 6 continue the exami- nation of the state of academic freedom, with the last chapter, titled “Terrorology 101,” focusing on the most troubling development in post-9/11 United States, which is the targeting for persecution of foreign faculty and students, along with anyone who questions U.S. foreign policy, by “defenders” of “homeland security.”

     summary: Infl uenced by Norbert Wiener’s theories of cybernetics and by R. Buckminster Fuller’s approach to systems, Brand continued pushing forward, with the unsuccessful Whole Earth Soft ware Catalog, which proved too difficult to keep updated due to rapid de- 92 College & Research Libraries velopment in the area, the more successful Whole Earth Review, and the Co-Evolution Quarterly, the former of which is still in publication as Whole Earth. 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.

     summary: The focus is on the broadest possible interpretation of the information commons—“the entire social and cultural area of free speech, shared knowledge and creative expression in the digital age” (to quote the LC author- ity record)! 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.

     summary: Moreover, taken literally, these definitions still imply that librarians will match collections in thousands of subjects against multiple complex criteria and rate them in three separate aspects: current collection level, acquisition commitment, and collection goal. It involves dividing collection title counts by literature title counts at each interval of the scale and converting the decimal fractions to percentages.9 All members of my class did so successfully to produce tables like Table 4.

     summary: According to Burgan, among the big- gest impediments to faculty members re- engaging in productive governance is their exasperation with institutional complexity and their fear of wasting valuable time either addressing insoluble problems or trying to work with administrations that are not committed to collaboration. 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.

     summary: Evan Farber’s writings are already widely available in the literature, and what the field needed was not another container in which Farber’s work could be housed, but, rather, an opportunity for today’s leading college and instruction librar- ians to explore and debate the ongoing significance of his ideas and his life’s work. While Farber might not have imagined the ways in which college 190 College & Research Libraries and university libraries would become tied together through statewide consor- tia, resource-sharing agreements, and online catalogs that facilitate patron-initi- ated borrowing (or the degree to which community colleges would become an integral part of this equation through con- sortia, distance learning, and articulation programs), his basic question remains sound: what are the unique opportuni- ties presented to librarians in the college setting, and how can the identifi cation of excellence in that arena complement the discussion of excellence in library service as defined more typically by the experi- ence of the university library?

     summary: In one of the funniest but also most illuminating inter- views of this highly enjoyable volume— Markham’s conversation with Eric Korn, the London bookman once known for his “Remainders” column in The Times Liter- ary Supplement—we come to understand that “ill-organized” may in fact be just the self-deprecating way in which the very best booksellers describe how they lead a customer from book to seemingly unre- lated book, often based on only a single minor physical or textual detail the books have in common—“minor,” that is, except in the eye of the prospective customer. 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.

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. Jagodz- inski, Indiana University.

     summary: Simon Eliot argues the need for a broader integrating context for book history, one that locates it in a total communications environment and draws on a variety of disciplines and fi elds. Bernhard Fabian, by contrast, wants to rehabilitate the 19th- century notion of “Kulturwissenschaft” and create a new synthetic approach to the artifactual legacies that constitute the foundations of book history.

     summary: The challenge for students (and others) may well be to manage effort so as to optimize results. The explicit implication for information lit- eracy is that students could be convinced that the cognitive effort spent in such a course can result in sufficient cognitive difference that their performance in other courses will be enhanced.

It is unusual to find a text focused on operational issues in library management returned to the shelves after a gap in revi- sion of a quarter-century.

     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: In this hybrid and shift ing information realm, there are im- portant research and operational question for academic librarians about the right balance between print and digital, about what current media to acquire, and about how best to manage our massive legacy of print collections. The death of print has been greatly exaggerated for at least the last two decades, but it is hard not to notice that change is occurring and the pace is quickening.

     summary: At the same time, despite evidence that they lack basic information literacy skills, students consistently rate themselves as effective users of information.6 To understand how to apply the find- ings in this study more broadly, it is im- portant to comprehend how MIT students vary in information-use practices from students at other universities. Students also relied on a valued network of colleagues that in- cluded peers, other students, lab cohorts, as well as faculty.

     summary: Other implications of this computational theory of library research are also explored. There are library research how-to manuals for graduate students in sca�ered fields, a fact that indicates that humanists as well as some social scientists do sometimes teach library research skills to their graduate students, introducing them to the critical reading of sources and to the major bibliographical and archival guides for their fields.3 But seasoned library researchers do not seem to write much about library research methods in general.

     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.

     summary: The results for this category suggest that non-UofA library staff ap- pear almost equally competent in an- swering questions requesting academic information as UofA library staff, even though non-UofA staff voice concern over not being familiar with UofA resources. The goal was to compare the process and quality for online chat refer- ence answers as provided by UofA and non-UofA chat reference staff.

     summary: Librarians can learn something from the business models for digital publishing laid out in the chapter on financers and owners of digital media. Pavlik acknowledges both positive and negative social effects of digital media, such as the trend toward decentralization and proliferation of for- mats, outlets, and producers of content.

     summary: In her discus- sion of leadership, Karen Williams dis- cusses the role of librarians as grassroots leaders in various campus partnerships that advance IL programs. In a fine example of how well Hauptman cites and acknowledges other sources, he punctuates his discussion of Gibbon with a quote from Chuck Zerby’s history of footnotes: “Someone once said that notes ran along the bottom of Gibbon’s pages like dogs yapping at the text.”

     summary: In a fine example of how well Hauptman cites and acknowledges other sources, he punctuates his discussion of Gibbon with a quote from Chuck Zerby’s history of footnotes: “Someone once said that notes ran along the bottom of Gibbon’s pages like dogs yapping at the text.” For those who have struggled with teaching undergraduate students the intricacies of citation style, Hauptman’s comment that, after 20 years as an editor, “some authors, even those whose cre- dentials and publication records would seem to imply an absolute mastery of this simple necessity, are incapable of getting things just right” provides some contex- tual awareness.

     summary: While the Rochester project is an assessment study in the sense that it “assesses” how students actually use libraries and information, the project wasn’t designed to document for campus officials how the library contributes to the undergraduate educational experience of students. 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).

     summary: Interview questions focused on instruction services for developmental students, library collections for developmental students, collaboration with developmental education instructors and learning centers, and professional development related to developmental education. If campus administrators, developmental educators, regional and national devel- opmental education associations, and policy makers have no knowledge from the literature of how academic libraries support developmental students, it is highly unlikely that academic libraries will ever play a part in any policy or budgetary decision-making related to developmental education at the local, state, or national levels.

These accounts not only allow de Schryver confi dently to as- cribe the prayer book’s production to two “figures of the very first rank of illumi- nated manuscript production in Flanders and Brabant during the second half of the fifteenth century,” they also enable us to place the manuscript in the wider context of Flemish book arts as a whole.

     summary: Kelty desired to impart a sense of the profound depth of Open Source culture, which is far more than software code, and extends to legal and organizational issues, in addition to technology. 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).

     summary: Not only do academic libraries, and their parent institutions, often rely on Open Source software solutions, but they also initiate and support a substantial number of Open Source projects, manag- ing, therefore, the technological hurdles and legal pitfalls, and organizing and facilitating community collaboration and communication. 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.

     summary: Implications for Research The application of competency theory to information literacy represents a new ap- proach to understanding how to improve student information literacy skills. 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.

     summary: Research Questions The following are the answers, based on the data and analysis above, to the research questions posed earlier: 1) Li- braries are putting copyright statements on some, but not all, of their digital col- lections; 2) The percentage of collections with attached copyright statements is around 50 for all types of materials. 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: The data also suggest that the implementation of a link resolver was highly influential, as searches initiated by the resolver created a large increase in catalog searches, particularly ISSN searches. Sec- ond, this paper will study two kinds of number searches: LC call number and ISSN/ISBN.

     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: However, in most cases, the library has kept its IT scope clear but limited—collecting and sharing scholar- ship—and left broader IT services, such as administrative and academic computing, classroom support, computer labs, and tech support to the CIO. The growth in the impor- tance of CIO position between these two searches was striking in many respects, including rising status, responsibility, and influence.

     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.

     summary: Their methodol- ogy elicits responses in the subjects’ own words on a range of faculty attitudes toward student research and the role of librarians in education. How would you rate the average quality of student research conducted for this class? When asked to rate the quality of the student research conducted in their classes, many faculty stated that students varied widely in their capabilities (for example, “Some students did very well, while others didn’t” and “It varied from pathetic to excellent, so it’s difficult to generalize”).

     summary: The body of literature on academic library assessment is important, substantial, and growing, and Radford and Snelson’s collection would have been enhanced by more than two chapters on assessment and evaluation.—Maria T. Ac- cardi, Indiana University Southeast. In this collection, Radford and Snelson have assembled an accessible, readable work that addresses important theories and practices, providing a helpful guide to an academic librarian looking to supplement his or her own understanding of current research in the field, enhance the theoretical underpinnings of her own practices, collect practical tips and meth- ods applicable in the library setting, and identify possibilities for future research.

     summary: However, Simpson gives one renewed appreciation for the daunting challenge faced by these brave souls: In 1900, census enumerators were di- rected to record nativity as follows: In case the person speaks Polish, as Poland is not now a country, inquire whether the birthplace was what is now known as German Poland or Austrian Poland, and enter the answer accord- ingly as Poland (Ger), Poland (Aust.), or Poland (Russ.). These six countries are as follows: Austria, which lost territory to Czechoslovakia, Italy, Yugoslavia, Poland, and Rumania; Hungary, which lost territory to Austria, Czechoslova- kia, Italy, Poland, Romania, and Yugo- slavia; Bulgaria, which lost territory to Greece and Yugoslavia; Germany, which lost territory to Belgium, Czecho- slovakia, Danzig, Denmark, France, Lithuania, and Poland; Russia, which lost territory to Estonia, Finland, Lat- via, Lithuania, Poland, and Turkey….

     summary: The book’s one minor shortcoming is that its intended audience is somewhat unclear, alternating between beginning researchers, such as graduate students or undergraduates in upper-level literature courses, who need an explanation of the basics of literary research, and advanced researchers who, though well-versed in literary research, are perhaps new to the field of Irish literature. Too often, arguments on technology begin with an already assumed benefit or detriment from the adoption of new technologies.

     summary: As a second edition of Critical Approaches to Information Technology in Librarianship: Foundations and Applications (1993) edited by Bushman, one of the core strengths of this volume is the historical context it provides for current issues in relation to technology. Too often, arguments on technology begin with an already assumed benefit or detriment from the adoption of new technologies.

     summary: The first question that it seeks to address is wheth- er similar patterns of monographic usage are observed in this area of literary studies when compared to other studies of mul- tiple disciplines within the humanities7 and by studies of literature.8 In addition, it examines the age of materials referenced in an effort to gain insight into the shelf- life of these materials, as several studies have emphasized.9 This study intends to address these questions by examining the materials referenced in articles found in three well-known journals in the field across a 30-year time span. 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.

     summary: Born into a merchant family and trained in the mercantile arts, Colbert en- tered into state administration at an early age and rose to prominence in the 1650s as financial manager for, and administrative factotum to, Cardinal Mazarin, the chief minister of France. For example, The Short Novels of John Steinbeck: Critical Essays with a Checklist to Steinbeck Criti- cism (Duke, 1990) contains the articles by Spilka, Goldhurst, and Loftis reprinted in Meyer’s new collection.

     summary: In other words, both the Royal Library and the Colbertine functioned both as a statesman’s library and as state archives, whose collections amounted to what Soll terms “an encyclopedia of the state” (p. 2). 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.

The book has not a single graphic throughout its hundreds of pages; but the scores of research articles illustrating the methods under discussion in each chapter open up broad vistas for not just students and professionals but the ILS field as a whole.

The rest of this chapter is an interesting depiction of the intersection of printers, scholars, and libraries of Leiden, more concrete and particular than some of the more speculative and table-heavy chapters that follow, and more likely to appeal to those readers with an interest in book history rather than economic theory.

     summary: When asked what it is like to be a li- brary director, the first thought that often enters my mind is how much time and effort I devote to library facilities – their design or re-design, collection storage options, public and staff work spaces, and, of course, the daily needs of build- ing maintenance and custodial services. I see it as a perfect example of how research and publication can influ- ence on-the-ground library practice.

     summary: Additionally, the paper presents a synthesis of existing literature on the increasingly popular topic of “green libraries” and prepares a background toward developing a framework for sustainable strategies in academic libraries. ©Maria Anna Jankowska and James W. Marcum There is growing concern that a variety of factors threaten the sustain- ability of academic libraries: developing and preserving print and digital collections, supplying and supporting rapidly changing technological and networking infrastructure, providing free services, maintaining growing costs of library buildings, and lowering libraries’ ecological footprint.

     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.

     summary: For example, he excludes coverage of transgender and transsexual histories on the grounds that sexual orientation and gender identity are distinct categories with distinct histories. The bulk of the book consists of 200 pages of alphabetical entries that range from key figures (Radclyffe Hall, Michel Foucault), organizations (Mattachine Society, Log Cabin Republicans), and moments (Stone- wall, the passage of Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell) in LGBT history, as well as more general references tied by Pickett to the subject.

     summary: Chapter 2 reveals how he synthesized these two compet- ing points of view in his monumentally influential Hexapla, a work that not only changed the way serious biblical scholar- ship was conducted but also ushered in a new awareness of how innovative textual layouts and designs could impose order on complex texts, create new kinds of scholarly authority, and influence how readers interacted with and asked ques- tions of texts. And wax tablets, although water-resistant, easy to write on, and reusable, were not suitable for long-term storage or easy manipula- tion of larger texts.

     summary: Although it deals with a world of information production, packaging, dis- semination, and reception that initially might seem foreign to our modern under- standings of these concepts, Christianity and the Transformation of the Book clearly reveals that a better understanding of book culture in the ancient world can teach us much about textual culture— whether print or digital—today. The result is a deep understanding of the relationships that drove (and im- peded) the flow of books and pamphlets into every corner of the literate public.— Richard J.

     summary: Through a careful and dogged study of the relationships and politics of the printers and publishers, Brown delivers a nicely nuanced portrait of the press of Edinburgh in the mid-eighteenth century. Máire Ken- nedy (in charge of special collections in the Dublin City Libraries) uses the figure of William Flynn (1740–1811), who “rep- resented a typical printer and bookseller of the late eighteenth century,” to explore different aspects of the book trade in the Munster region of Ireland, specifically the port of Cork and its surrounds.

     summary: Librarians who design online library tuto- rials with little input from faculty (whose recommendation is vitally important for the success of library tutorials), could risk creating faculty ambivalence or even disregard for tutorial content. Books, articles, other EBP tutorials, and informal interactions with faculty and students influenced the content for each discipline.

     summary: Mainstream newsrooms, however, like the rest of America society, remained largely segregated well into the mid-twen- tieth century and consequently restricted the work of African American journalists solely to black-owned presses. 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

     summary: In 2005 the libraries’ DRC was charged with initiating IM reference service at the Bartle Library and Science Library. There is belief among some researchers that these techniques alter desk behaviors of both patron and librarian.2 Less intrusive methods for evaluating reference services became possible through the availability of e-mail and chat transcripts.

     summary: The following section presents the results for the research questions regard- ing faculty status for academic librarians; perceptions on faculty status for academic librarians based on the gender, tenure sta- tus, and academic rank of respondents; the curricula that prepare librarians for em- ployment in academic libraries; the termi- nal degree(s) for academic librarians; the manner in which faculty status librarians should be evaluated; participation in col- lege or university governance by faculty status academic librarians; the compensa- tion of faculty status academic librarians; and sabbaticals and research release time for academic librarians with faculty status. They were also in agreement that faculty status academic librarians should be eligible for the same sabbatical and research leaves as teaching faculty (M = 3.81) while once again showing a broad range (SD = 1.23) of perceptions.

     summary: In fact, for smaller libraries, it is especially important to be able to offer ILL and document delivery services so that they can keep their customers happy. ILL and document delivery services are typically difficult for small libraries to provide because of limited staffing and the high costs involved.

     summary: Many child composers have early training at the keyboard, which helps to foster their early musical experi- mentation. Or it could be a highly interesting, but ultimately mar- ginal, recapitulation of musical works, many of which are still not ready for prime time.—Timothy J. Dickey, OCLC Research, Dublin, Ohio.

     summary: For the uninitiated and/or innumerate, this daunting tome will appear, prima facie, to be alarmingly technical; and, since most librarians are not conversant with sophisticated statistical methodolo- gies, the whole notion of library metrics might prove to be off-putting to the bulk of the targeted professional readership. 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?

     summary: Ac- cording to the authors, metrics are performance or outcome measures that institutions can use to “…improve their accountability efforts through a trans- parent communication of stakeholder- requested information in a multiplicity of formats and means” (8). Significantly, metrics are designed to provide objective criteria whereby institutions may be held accountable for their performance.

     summary: Because specific and designated terms such as ‘Negro,’ ‘mulatto,’ ‘mustee,’ ‘black man,’ etc., were used to describe individuals of African descent or partial African descent, the use of terms such as ‘ruddy,’ ‘sandy,’ ‘light,’ ‘dark,’ etc. usually refers to someone of European descent in an attempt to describe better [than] variations in skin tone lumped together by some as ‘white’” (138). 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: 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.

Web sites that are freely available were considered “owned.” Survey From the citation analysis, we knew we would be able to present explicit numbers indicating whether or not the library col- lection could support faculty research.

     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.

      flesch: 44
     summary: Some cautioned that narrower defini- tions might require library enforcement or restrict networking options.54 This section continues by outlining two areas in license negotiations between libraries and providers important to the changes in conceptions of authorized us- ers: whether or not the public and alumni qualified as authorized users, and the physical location of a “site.” The Public and Alumni as Authorized Users As e-resources became available over networks, public users became a contro- versial user group. In analyzing changes to the license and technology-based definitions, it tracks shifts in major stakeholders’ perceptions of authorized users and describes developments in licensing and access control technologies.

     summary: If indeed the bibliography keeps growing, thus creating a much more complete inventory of jazz books and establishing a broader context for the publications compiled so far, Jazz Books in the 1990s can be understood less for its limitations and more for its potential. As this body of literature grew, compilers of bibliographies adopted various selective strategies, restricting their scope to books (such as Carl Gregor in his International Jazz Bibliography: Jazz Books from 1919 to 1968 [1969; supp.

     summary: Chapter 1 introduces the notion that words and books can be ritual objects; the line between books and magic books, and between miracles and sorcery, was a blurred one. The epigraph to Grimoires quotes an episode from Don Quixote in which a character, standing at the gates of hell, observes a dozen or so devils, playing tennis with rackets of fire—but rather than using tennis balls, their implements were books, “apparently full of wind and rubbish.”

She sketches his as- sociations and his collaborations, but she also captures the structure of feeling that he develops as he endeavors to take each place he inhabits into his identity and work.

      flesch: 42
     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

     summary: A publication comparing online access with print circulation is forthcom- ing.19 Brigham Young University – Idaho (Rexburg) also appends a prefix before document URLs and uses these numbers to get an overall feel for how many docu- ments are being accessed.20 At the 2009 Fall Depository Library Conference, a panel presentation featured the clickthrough projects of the University of Denver, San Jose State University, Auburn University, Louisiana State University, Brigham Young University – Idaho, and the University of Colorado at Boulder.21 In mid-2009, Mercer University in Macon, Georgia, began track- ing online clickthroughs to government documents in their online catalog.22 Since October 2000, the GPO has been providing a URL tracking system of sorts.23 This service allows depository libraries to register Internet subdomains from which online links to PURLs within GPO Access resources originate (such as Web sites, research guides, and library online catalogs). 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.

     summary: Peters addresses the crux of her thesis, thus: “The educational, linguistic, and cultural barriers that have been long recognized in the literature on international students and libraries remain important considerations, but cur- rent literature also raises new questions about what international students expect from North American libraries, the library skills they bring with them from home countries, and ways in which librarians should respond.” Similarly, international visits and library exchanges are noted as means to enhance librarians’ knowledge of the aca- demic and social environments in which international students functioned before beginning their study abroad.

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: More likely, there are factors on cam- pus that are collinear with the ratio of professional library staff to full-time students and, more important, we believe that the library has an indirect impact on student persistence. Specifically: What impact does the academic library have on student retention?

     summary: The cringing these comments elicit in library staff is an implicit recognition that “although librar- ians may still be providing significant value to their constituency, the value of their brand is decreasing.”4 “As uncertainty about the future persists, library staff may tend to cling to the familiar, resisting new approaches to the way they work.

     summary: Characteristics of Web Resources across Disciplines With the Web continuing to play an important role in research practices, analyzing the types of Web resources used in research articles can show the degree to which different types of Web publications impact academic literature. In the electronic environment, with the ever-growing number of Web information resources available in greater depth, a logical ques- tion follows: Do Web resources influence the citation behavior of scholars in dif- ferent fields?

For example, chapter 1 (which addresses the key question “What is copyright?”) pro- vides a flowchart outlining copyright issues for digitization projects.

     summary: The relationship between critical pedagogy and library in- struction is more precisely designated as critical library instruction and described as “the ideas that background critical practice in the classroom—from Freire’s models of liberatory teaching to Kapitzke’s criticisms of standards models to Elmborg’s blending of literacy theory and library practice.” The issue of whether critical library instruction is even possible within the current culture of many colleges and universities is also addressed.

     summary: Although much has been published about art librarianship, art libraries, and the information-seeking behavior of art students, that material is spread across journals, books, and digital literature. Further- more, except for Nancy Fawley’s chapter “Cultural Differences and Information Literacy Competencies,” which discusses the cultural differences of art students at an American design school in Qatar, the book addresses art library–related issues in the western world.

     summary: Core characteristics of learning objects include efficiency (for instance, cost and time saving),4 reusability, interoper- ability, durability, and accessibility.5 Additional characteristics to consider include facilitation of competency-based learning, increased value of content, and customization.6 Learning objects could be course-based but also remedial, allowing for a “just-in-case, just-in-time, just-for- you” Based on information gathered from two discussion sessions moderated by members of the Education and Behavioral Sciences Section’s Online Learning Research Committee a survey was conducted to identify how librarians use course/learning management systems and learning objects to deliver instruction.

The Book in the Renaissance is an out- come of long work by a team at the University of St. Andrews, synthesiz- ing the wide variety of Web-based data now available with a wealth of more traditional scholarship in book history; it is a herald of the information that will soon be available in the Universal Short Title Catalogue.

     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.

For many who have graduated from a two-year college course with its short hours, long holidays, and usually fairly lax controls, this account of tight discipline and work of a repeti- tive nature, maintained over a seven-year term, will give pause for thought.

     summary: 8 He further stressed that “we need to know how students’ use of libraries affect their academic performance.”9 Although the literature shows the importance of measuring the relation- ship between student library usage and their academic performance, only few studies have actually been undertaken. As early as 1924, the American Library Association prepared a practical guideline and tool for libraries to evalu- ate their maintenance, administration, and service.1 In 1950, the Library As- sociation (UK) thoroughly assessed the United Kingdom’s public library service.2 Institutions or individuals writing about academic library assessment only became more common later.

     summary: South Africa exemplifies an incomplete transformation from the highly developed, bureaucratic, and se- cretive apartheid state to a country with explicit freedom of information rights but low citizen use and sporadic data collec- tion. This book more than meets its objec- tive of interrogating common assump- tions about the universal application of freedom of information rights.

     summary: Chapter 7 examines the possibility of connecting traditional knowledge organization, personal knowledge organization, and socially created knowledge organization to create structures for organizing knowl- edge that “reflect the actual information practices and engagement needs of us- ers,” with chapter 8 discussing possible scenarios for achieving this in the library world, ranging from a merged structure blending traditional bibliographic records with socially constructed fields added to creating an entirely new structure for bibliographic records. 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: Like other advice throughout the book, the importance of wide access is directly related to fiscal responsibility and to sustainability, because closed access means that materials are less useful for students, researchers, and publicity and so lower access levels can undermine the return on investment and overall value of digital repository work. In the Preface, Clobridge explains that her goal in writing the book was to have it serve both as an introduc- tory text for those new and starting out in digital repositories and for it to be useful for repository practitioners as well as those outside of but related to reposi- tory programs, including library and IT directors.

     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: Recent trend reports pay more atten- tion, as they must, to new patterns of information discovery and use brought by digital technology. On my list of major trends, I would include managing during times of economic constraint, offering digital repositories and preser- vation services, designing new kinds of library facilities and print storage, reform- ing scholarly publishing, progressing from collection to knowledge manage- ment, developing library leaders, and rethinking information literacy education.

     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: The relative success of these resources often depended on their tight integration with either academic programs or library initiatives, suggesting the need for more collaborative dialogue around the use of new technologies and confirming the value of involving library management in suggesting course projects and viewing course results. Resources that lacked clear institutional support were “Changing the Way We Talk” 593 software purchased by both the UWA and Murdoch Libraries in September 2008 and used as a base platform by a number of course participants to create resources on subjects as diverse as Finding Legislation and Secondary Sources in 2009 or Case Law and EndNote in 2010.

     summary: Other intro- ductory texts exist, as do many narrower collection management (CM) works focused by type of library, by material format, or by specific subtopics (such as collection policies or evaluation). From there, an instruc- tor would use other readings to draw in more detail licensing, collection policies, budgets, individual and peculiar format concerns, and other key CM elements.

     summary: The model of new librarianship presented in the Atlas is intended to foster these changes: indeed, it offers nothing less than a blueprint for redefining the conceptual foundations of librarianship in order to renew it. The aims of new librarianship are encapsulated in the statement that “the mission of librarians is to improve society through facilitating knowledge creation in their communities.”

Instead, the real- life stories and struggles here show the 606 College & Research Libraries November 2011 research library engaged in the effort to become more productively involved in the entire life cycle of knowledge: its creation, critique, and dissemination.

     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: 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: In Lean Library Management, Huber explains that Lean is a different way to think about organizing library processes. Huber makes a strong case that, if library leaders were to ap- ply Lean strategies as recommended, customer service could indeed improve while reducing costs.

     summary: In the 1980s, copies of the KC began moving to Japan in such quantities that Japan now ranks third on the sweeps list after the United States and the United Kingdom. So, let me give you a few from the author’s own summary of the various fortunes of copies of the KC: W. B. Yeats … kept his “Chaucer” on a painted lectern between two candlesticks …Howard Storrs, a Florida newspaper editor/publisher, left his copy on the floor next to a Linotype machine for an entire year until he had fully paid for it …One famous collector of the “Chaucer” was married to an exotic dancer …A copy in Australia was allegedly bartered for several weeks’ lodging …And a copy at Yale was said to have been used as a doorstop….

     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

     summary: By subsidizing article processing fees for OA journals, univer- sities and funding agencies can provide equitable support for the business model for open access journals. 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.

For a collector of Miller’s printed works, either private or institutional, Crandell’s book is a wise and useful guide.

The sources used in legal research are often significantly different from those for other disciplines; at the same time, the legal process itself can be difficult for the uninitiated to follow, further compli- cating the research process.

     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.

While offering us a vista into the past, the book also provides con- nections to the present, demonstrating in a clear-cut manner how changes affect- ing archival science today were really set in motion and begun a generation or two before.

     summary: The authors posit that while preserving digital media is vital, the preser- vation of information about digital objects, including administrative, descriptive, and cultural data, is equally important. Compiled by scholars from industry and academia in fields ranging from the arts and humanities to information studies, Digital Media explores, from multiple Book Reviews 307 perspectives, the “history, collection de- velopment, preservation, and ontological challenges of digital media.”

     summary: As I thought about topics such as the range of considerations in the preplanning stage of instructional design, how I might use the “Learning Activity Collaborative Plan- ning Checklist” to work more effectively with course instructors, and how I might employ agile design, I realized that Farm- er’s book has expanded my perspectives as a teacher and as a librarian.—Glenn Ellen Starr Stilling, Appalachian State University. Farmer follows Robert A. Reiser’s and John V. Dempsey’s 2007 definition of instructional design as an iterative process that moves reflectively through the stages of analysis, design, development, implementation, and evalu- ation.

     summary: He believes that U.S. libraries will not adopt cloud computing services as quickly as European libraries because of the issues associated with the Patriot Act, and he pre- dicts that the future of librarianship itself may be reinvigorated by cloud computing. As experts in library technology topics, Mou- laison and Corrado vetted and edited each contribution to this guide, which covers librarians’ special concerns about data and issues of privacy, security, and own- ership that, perhaps, other organizations looking to cloud computing services may not concern themselves with.

     summary: © 2012 Kristin Hoffmann and Lise Doucette, Attribution-NonCommercial (http://creativecommons.org/ licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0/) CC BY-NC While there is a considerable body of literature that presents the results of citation analysis studies, most researchers do not provide enough detail in their methodology to reproduce the study, nor do they provide rationale for methodological decisions. 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.

     summary: Undergraduates, unlike faculty, are not “expert researchers” steeped in a tradition of relying on library resources for informing their written work.6 Col- lege students rely extensively on Inter- net search engines for information and frequently glean information from Web sites, including Wikipedia.7 Moreover, student information gathering and writ- ing practices are formed before reaching college age.8 S t r a t e Such research will necessarily be ambitious, requiring not only evaluation of written products as artifacts of learning but incorporating the analysis of student research logs and interviews at multiple points throughout the student career of the research subjects.

     summary: Increased access to research data will allow for verification and replication of results, provide a foundation for ad- ditional research, and increase the overall transparency of science. 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

In addition, reference librarians typically perform other functions such as collection development, instruction, development of tools such as Web sites and pathfind- 392 College & Research Libraries July 2012 ers, outreach activities, and assessment and evaluation of all of these areas, each of which entails its own set of skills and competencies.

     summary: Rather, it consists of a series of articles on research behaviors and scholarly practices among university students and faculty, collected via interviews at four institutions: Cornell University, Ohio State University, Uni- versity of Rochester, and Yale University. The remaining chapters report on specific themes discovered through ex- amination of the interview transcripts; with one exception, the analyses focus only on responses from single institu- tions, meaning that each article relies on interview transcripts from, at most, twenty-three subjects.

     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.

     summary: That said, however, the information contained here makes this work—and indeed the entire series—an important acquisition for the reference sec- tion of map libraries with a strong historical focus or for the general reference sections of larger research libraries. The book concludes with a brief eight-title bibliography, indexes to personal and geo- graphical names, map titles, and finally a list of all atlases referenced, complete with index numbers in the Atlantes Neerlandici, a three-volume compendium published by coauthor van der Krogt between 1997 and 2003, in which more information on each atlas can be found.

     summary: After providing an outline for the entire book, Gilton, in chapter 1, defines and describes Information Literacy Instruction (ILI), walks readers through the history of ILI in different library set- tings, and introduces the background of ILI in public libraries as well as the unique aspects of instructional activities in public libraries. Gilton points out further that instruction in public libraries takes many forms, with the overriding goal to benefit the broadest user community across the widest age range.

     summary: Nancy H. Seamans’ final essay looks back retrospectively at information literacy in libraries and reports on discus- sions she had with several library leaders concerning the successes and failures of library information literacy instruction in the last twenty years, as well as pointing to opportunities for the future. Perhaps one of the most dramatic responses to this era of change has been libraries’ in- creased emphasis on information literacy.

     summary: Often, new archivists inherit less-than-ideal organizational systems, but, as the author writes, “Leave what has already been done and start working on the big picture by defining groups of records rather than individual records.” Regardless, Lisa Hinchliffe and Mellissa Wong provide a concise and practical resource for librarians and student affairs professionals who might ask “how” instead of “why.”

     summary: Clearly, student growth and develop- ment are common goals for libraries and student affairs. Or perhaps libraries and student affairs are just discovering the collaborative poten- tial as assessment becomes a focus for best practices—see for example, M. Bresciani’s Case Studies for Implementing Assessment in Student Affairs: New Directions for Student Services, 2009.

     summary: Winship illuminates a narrow chapter in the publication history of Uncle Tom’s Cabin, related to a copyright dispute, wherein Spofford “emerges as cool, precise, and knowledgeable, in marked contrast to the ‘apparent disorder’ of the collections and the ‘heavy plodding’ nature of his clerks.” Finally, Donald G. 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.

     summary: There has been broader concern for some time about the value of product reviews in the digital environ- ment, including book reviews,4 but the Chronicle story demonstrated how the An Embarrassment of Riches: Ethics and Scholarly Publishing in the Digital Environment tactics employed by unscru- pulous reviewers of commercial services might be finding their way into the pre- sumably more rigorous environment of scholarly peer review. 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: fundamental question for innovation research is to ex- plain how innovations occur. Gallouj and Savona note that the RPC model does not account for service innovations that have no technol- ogy component, an important dimension to examine for research libraries.12 Several examples of the RPC are useful at this juncture.

     summary: Hanrong Wang, Yingqi Tang, and Carley Knight scanned reference job ads posted in C&RL News from 1966 to 2009 to track the historical development of the profession.11 Examining reference posi- tions, they calculated the number of open positions, educational background, duties and responsibilities of the position, and variations in job titles. As a result, beginning reference librarians must be prepared for a diverse range of responsibilities, and hiring institutions must carefully consider their priorities for reference positions.

      flesch: 45
     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.

The final section, Obesity, Overload, and Opportunity seems both ambitious and forward-thinking, featur- ing discussions of the political nature of IL instruction, the impact to IL of sweep- ing changes to modes of communication and learning, and the use of assessment measures to identify specific areas of IL instruction in the United Kingdom that may merit revised or additional instruc- tion.

     summary: As more specialized institutions began to appear and develop during the 19th century, the AAS was able to prune and weed its collections of many of the artifacts and anthropological material that it had accumulated in its earlier years. I recommend the earlier parts of the story that describe the origins and early history of the AAS.

     summary: Areas of focus for future study could include how librar- ies on branch campuses alter traditional methods of library services to meet cul- tural practices, methods of collaboration between home and campus libraries, studies of the information literacy pro- grams conducted in the libraries, and the new aspects of international librarianship revealed in these environments of global- ized education services. How did the SIU-Carbondale in Niigata’s campus library influence the main library’s reference and research services?

     summary: As members of the Education for Bib- liographic Instruction Committee of the ACRL Instruction Section, Chris Avery and Kevin Ketchner produced a study in 1996 “on 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.”8 © 2013 Russell A. Hall, Attribution-NonCommercial (http://creativecommons.org/ licenses/by-nc/3.0/) CC BY-NC Many content analyses of job ads have revealed the skills and experi- ence needed in academic library jobs and show that library instruction is an important job duty.

     summary: This article discusses the nature of American Indian Studies and provides suggestions for what librarians can do to support American Indian Stud- ies programs and American Indian students. Decades of educational pol- icy sought to separate American Indian students from their cultural heritage.34 Research, primarily conducted since the 1960s, has shown that knowledge of tribal culture is actually beneficial and helps give American Indian students a positive self-identity that supports them in their pursuit of education.

     summary: Each participant was also asked either to upload or to provide a link to an online document containing their institution’s e-reserve service copyright policy. A similar criticism may ring true for current e-reserve policies and practices, as e-reserves librarians attempt to manage copyright-infringement risk without an accurate understanding of the context and practice of peer institutions.

     summary: When librarians see that books on a particular subject are being used, the consensus in the literature seems to be that the library should use whatever means makes sense to ensure the purchase of more books on this subject. Initially I felt that a low absolute number of books for a course did not necessarily imply we needed more books.

     summary: “What Will Learners Do?” begins with an ex- planation of learning styles, includes a list of teaching methods (lecture, model- ing/demonstration, collaborative group work, and so on), and tables highlighting the advantages and drawbacks of each. Though much of the discussion is theoretical, numerous citations (many annotated) provide the instruction practitioner with an entry point into the intimidating literature on teaching theory and practice.—Timothy Hackman, University of Maryland.

     summary: Data collection was primarily focused on cited journals fully covered in SSCI in 2009, although some data was col- lected for journals not covered in SSCI.13 Despite criticism and challenges from Elsevier’s Scopus database, SSCI is still widely recognized as the most authori- tative citation source for social science research literature. Core journal studies appear in both the library science literature and in the journal literature of other academic disciplines.

        date: 2013-05-01
       words: 2097
      flesch: 39
     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: Eleven other authors—one in private practice and the rest associated with the preservation and conservation facilities of major institutions in the United States— contributed practical essays that address varied aspects of project planning, speci- fications for equipment and specialized functions, and considerations unique to private conservation labs and those that focus on flat paper collections. Jeffrey Peachey, a conservator in private practice, addresses concepts pertinent to private book conservation labs, and Claire Hoevel provides guidance on the devel- opment of labs for paper conservation.

     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.”

     summary: Nonetheless, Research in Information Studies remains a resource for consumers of information sci- ence research, for thinkers about research in the field, and (perhaps centrally) begin- ning students—several of the author ’s stated audiences.—Timothy J. Dickey, Independent Scholar, Columbus, Ohio. There follows a quick introduction in the final chapter to differ- ent kinds of research literature and critical thinking approaches to them, including an interesting evaluation of Wikipedia in research.

     summary: But distance learning has a much wider range of implementa- tions, as indicated in the subtitle, and Niedorf provides little guidance to the hopeful practitioner of these other types. Niedorf expresses in many places that collaboration is essential to the enterprise of providing quality distance education and stresses the point more than once.

     summary: In a subsequent study, they found that college students describe themselves as competent at finding and evaluating information but reported difficulties in determining what kind of information is needed and how much.14 Studies using more objective measures of information literacy skills suggest that students may not be as competent as they report. 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.

     summary: Research Design This study used a mixed-methods ap- proach to gather both quantitative and qualitative data on students’ usage of search tools. In fact, the relative similarity of the results of students in all of the test groups suggests that well-prepared students can effectively use a variety of search tools, while poorly prepared students will likely struggle even with the best-designed tools.

     summary: The number of library instruction classes taught accounts only for less than 1 percent of the variance in overall adult learning scores, but, as a predictor, it accounts for 3 percent of the variance in adult learning scores above the variance accounted for by the other predictor variables. Equally, since a nonlinear correlation emerged between adult learning scores and familiarity with the ACRL Standards scores, further analysis of descriptive statistics helps reveal the complex inter- dependence of variables and how they influence the dependent variable.

This is logi- cal, since both of the editors are highly respected scholars of library leadership and management, and much of the book looks at the library leadership landscape across two continents.

     summary: C&RL will not be the first scholarly journal to move to a digital-only publish- ing model, and it will not be the first to embrace open access publishing, but it is still unusual to see a journal with the history and reputation that C&RL enjoys dive into the future of scholarly publishing with both feet. It has been six years since the Asso- ciation advanced its “Research Agenda for Scholarly Communication,” which included the call to promote research in ar- eas such as authorship, value metrics, and the adoption of successful innovations.2 As a print publication, C&RL provided a venue for disseminating the results of such research, including Malenfant’s study of scholarly communications services as an emergent component of the core respon- sibilities of liaison librarians, Nariani and Fernadez’s study of the factors influencing Endings and Beginnings authors’ decisions to publish (or to avoid publishing) in open access journals, and Walters and Linvill’s study of the characteristics of open ac- cess journals.3 Most recently, a study by Ramirez et.

     summary: Our study also confirms Fox’s 2007 finding that the “requirement for formal scholarship by Canadian research librarians appears to be a growing trend, and, yet, there are no commonly accepted norms for the appropriate balance between scholarship and other professional responsibilities.”27 Articulating formal requirements regard- ing research is clearly one area that needs work across Canada so that expectations for workload, promotion, and tenure are more transparent to all parties. 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: First, we wanted to compare the overall level of library skills before and after receiving library instruction. After reviewing best practices in library instruction and considering the issues that prompted the redesign of the SLU 100 library session—namely session uniformity, inclusion of active learning experiences, and effective use of available librarian teaching faculty— we developed a model that incorporated the ACRL In- formation Literacy Competency Standards for Higher Education, the McREL instruc- tional strategies for effective teaching, and Gilchrist’s “assessment as learning” framework.

Nowhere is this shift more apparent than in the front-line, public service sectors of academic libraries.

The weakest chapters, in my opin- ion, were the ones having to do with academic libraries.

     summary: The authors conducted infor- mal research on findability in regard to IRs and the results were eye-opening, as they found very low information retrieval percentages in harvesting IRs. As students, faculty, and even donors are using ser- vices such as Google and Google Scholar as research tools, IR content needs to be indexed.

     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: Several of Cullars’ reference studies deserve special attention because of the way he recorded language data for each project. In Cullars’ 1992 study of the reference patterns in fine arts mono- graphs, English was the primary language of references, although sources in German and several Romance languages made up nearly 38 percent of all references.21 Two recent studies of very specific ar- eas within the humanities have reported language data that is relevant.

     summary: he duties of academic librar- ians and archivists are inher- ently tied to the world of scholarly research. The number of librarians in tenure- track positions and the associated pub- lishing responsibilities of these positions indicate an expectation on the part of universities for these professionals to engage in scholarly research.

      flesch: 46
     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: Taking into consideration these mobile devices and their impact on our daily life, the ques- tion arises whether those in the Library and Information Science (LIS) community (both librarians and students) are ready to adopt mobile library services. In another study, Walsh investigated students’ atti- tudes and use of mobile library services and found that they did not view text messaging from the library as intrusive.

     summary: However, the Framework does include additional elements, including: knowledge practices involved in demonstrating understand- ing of information literacy concepts; the dispositions needed to behave as an adept learner; and some sample assignments and self-assessments that would develop understanding of threshold concepts in information literacy, or otherwise pin- point challenges for students in learning them. Information literacy threshold concepts help learners recognize and make sense of this environment, guiding them to trans- form and integrate their understanding.

Research Questions After observing some of the signs of imposter feelings in new librarians and discovering that very little had been published about the prevalence of the IP among librarians, the researchers embarked on a study to test three hy- potheses: • Hypothesis 1: Newer academic librarians in the United States and Canada exhibit a higher oc- currence of IP feelings than more experienced librarians. • Hypothesis 2: Younger academic librarians in the United States and Canada exhibit a higher oc- currence of IP feelings than older librarians.

     summary: In these three cases (2000, 2001, and 2006), the high school GPA for library students was actually higher than those without the class. While no study can ever prove that the reason a specific student graduated was because he or she took a certain class or attended a certain library workshop, by gathering together an increasing number of suggestive correlative studies, libraries can begin to establish their place in each student’s success. fact, the overall 2 percent increase in high school GPAs for library students becomes an overall 2 percent decrease in college graduation GPAs.

     summary: Four of the interviewees noted the value of offering students a simple, Google-like search option that will help them access the library’s resources, while three respondents believed the one-box either sends the wrong message that library research is easy, or fails to make library research easier. Of the 202 respondents who selected options from the provided list (those who did not select from the list or only gave an “Other” response were not included in the numerical analysis), the three most often selected reasons for teaching the one-box were “it’s a good way to get students to use the library’s resources” (107, 53%), “the one-box makes library research more intuitive to Google users” (95, 47%), and “it provides ‘good enough’ results” (94, 46.5%).

     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: 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. The results of this research fill a gap in both the library and education literature, provide critical background data for libraries wishing to build support for undergraduate research programs, and suggest a foundation for further research into an underexplored area. ince the publication of “Reinventing Undergraduate Education: A Blueprint for America’s Research Universities,”1 universities have worked to develop and strengthen inquiry-based curricula for undergraduates that is aligned with faculty members’ scholarly and creative efforts.

     summary: The largest race/ethnic identity represented among visible minority librarians, as is illustrated in table 1, was Chinese. According to Lee, “[a]s of 2004, there were fewer than 25 Aboriginal librarians (with master’s degrees in library and information studies) in Canada (8Rs Research Team: University of Alberta, which provided me with raw data they had collected).”27 Meanwhile, the total labour force that identified as Aboriginal in 2006 was 517,375—approximately 3 percent.28 Mirroring the geographical distribution of the visible minority population in Canada, the greatest concentration of visible minority librarians was found in or around urban centres, with Toronto reporting the high- est number of visible minority librarians (approximately 37% of the national pool; n = 425), followed by Vancouver (ap- proximately 17%; n = 195), and Montreal (approximately 10%; n = 120).

     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: 843 While the scientific process produces vast amounts of research data, often these data are not archived or inventoried properly, resulting in data at risk. Francine Berman further advocates for a census of research data to plan for data preservation.22 Efforts need to be directed toward understanding nondigital, fragile research data that are vital to the future of science.

     summary: The Accidental Law Librarian purports to be the “first comprehensive, non-scholarly book on law libraries in 20-plus years” written for those librarians who have been thrust into law librarianship. The chapter concludes with a historical discussion of modern legal publishing and the impact of rising publication costs on law library collections.

     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.

     summary: The stated purpose for Information Literacy Standards for Teacher Education is to guide the development of information literacy instruction for teacher education students and to facilitate the evaluation of that instruction. 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.

     summary: Moreover, her “Mentoring Resources” and “References” sections are invaluable for library leaders seeking to establish mentorship programs. In particular, Martin notes the challenges presented by digital technology and publishing trends, along with the attendant pres- sures on library leaders to maintain the relevance of the profession and the academic library itself.

     summary: By studying users and the librarians who help them, he was able to identify his now-famous four levels of information need: visceral, conscious, formalized, and compromised. 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: The results seem to support the belief that the inquirer’s interaction with a library or information system has certain similarities to the negotiation process. General instruction in the use of library and information systems is presently nor- mally accomplished by tours, formal instruction, and handbooks, none of which are available when the user actually has an inquiry.

     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: While we considered it unlikely that composition faculty would radically revise their courses to incorporate more sessions on library use, we began sharing our findings with supportive colleagues in the English department to determine where changes could be made to acknowledge and deal with library anxiety. It was found that 75 to 85 percent of the students in these courses described their initial response to library research in terms of fear.

     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.

It’s reasonable to expect that, as librarians gain access to more complex and more reveal- ing information about student library activity and interactions as well as campus 358 College & Research Libraries 75th Anniversary Issue level learning analytics, they will gain the connections, skill, confidence, interest, and ability to conduct more sophisticated analyses of the ways in which libraries make a difference in students’ lives.

     summary: Also, although there has been a long history of studies on the use and users of OPACs (Online Public Access Catalogs) since their introduction in libraries, with most research using transaction log analysis methods, this approach has not been used to study the use of the library catalog as a way to access e-books, nor to study PDA programs.4 Over the last few years, several studies on e-book use and users reveal a mixed im- age involving both success and failure of e-book usage in libraries.5 Our findings also show that e-books used via the full bibliographic record more than two times before a triggered purchase have higher usage afterward.

     summary: More recently, learning styles have been categorized physiologically, as the primary senses: auditory, visual, and kinesthetic/tactile.9 A survey of the most cited authors related to learning styles showed that Kolb, Dunn and Dunn, Honey and Mumford, Gregorc, Schmeck, and Vermunt were among the top thirty most cited authors.10 For statistical analysis, the main hypothesis was separated into two subhypoth- eses: first, that learning styles were reliant on other observed variables (such as job position responsibilities or years in an academic library); and second, that other observed variables (such as job position responsibilities or years in an academic library) were reliant on an intrinsic learning style.

Results will help the library better evaluate e-book options and navigate possible issues related to implementation.

     summary: Technology is rapidly changing, and librarians need to be familiar with new software and methods that can assist with the creation of online learning tutorials. The researchers used a similar technique to Ping Li’s past research with tutorial mapping, in which established library tutorials in the sciences were analyzed for their inclusion of information literacy standards.52 The librarians worked through the tutorial and sectioned it off according to the classifications listed above, including text, visual, audio, and kinesthetic.

     summary: While Abbott argues that library research cannot be efficient, he lays out a research strategy that is as efficient as an assembly line: in this industrial-style research, there are (as laid out in the Table of Contents) a “Preliminary Phase,” “Midphase Bibliography,” “Midphase Scanning, Browsing, and Brute Force” (this is where “brachiation” through the stacks is most important), “Reading,” “Midphase Files and Organization,” “Midphase Analysis,” “Midphase Writing,” “Midphase Design,” and “Endphase.” He understands library research as most academic librarians do not (never disrespectful of librarians—his mother was one).

     summary: Paracopyright includes efforts related to licensing and technological protection measures (chapter 6) undertaken by rights holders and vendors who fear that copyright law protections are insufficient. By deepening this understanding, the reader can consider more clearly the ramifications of the borderless digital domain, technological neutrality, and harmonization of international copyright laws (chapter 7).

     summary: Kevin Smith has authored several books related to copyright in academia, is involved in the national copyright conversation, and is well known for his blog Scholarly Communications@Duke in which he addresses policy, developing issues, and potential solutions for scholarly communications in the 21st century.—Carol R. Kentner, Harvard University Peter C. Brown, Henry L. Roediger, and Mark A. McDaniel. This very informative handbook for the “science of successful learning” is the fruit of eleven cognitive scientists working in concert as part of an “Applying Cognitive Psychology to Enhance Education Practice” research grant, which studied the impact of the latest developments in the field of cognitive psychology as applied to education over a ten-year period.

     summary: Participants in these discussions have raised a number of critical questions relevant to the future of both ACRL research programs and ACRL publication programs, some of which complement questions raised in this column over the past year, including the need for a platform publication for academic libraries and the need to support a greater diversity in the research studies published in this journal. Others have noted the need to bring these opportunities to a broad audience through partnerships with ACRL Chapters and/or ACRL member libraries.

     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: She indicates that collaboration with the home institution is important, which is echoed by Brown and Barr-Walker.25 Col- laboration to build collections at international branch campus libraries is discussed by Smith and support for information literacy at international branch campuses of a U.K. institution is discussed by Coombs.26 Abdullah, Kajberg, and Virkus discuss the importance of developing LIS curricula consistent with the principles of internationalization including integrating more in- ternational/global content into courses, increasing international students, and creating opportunities for LIS students to have international education experiences.27 Griner and Herron provide an example of a library school international service-learning, community-based program.28 Kidd and Roughton note in their 1994 study that international library staff exchanges are often documented in the literature as personal stories or case studies of “how we did it.”29 Five questions asked whether internationalization was included in the library’s mission statement, the extent to which internationalization is a priority in strategic planning, whether the library has a discrete plan for library internationalization, whether the library has a committee charged wholly or in part with internationalization activities, and whether the library is included in campuswide internationalization committees.

     summary: Relationships between special collections and these departments must be managed to ensure that special collections materials are handled correctly and delivered in a timely fashion. In the face of these challenges, the off-site storage facilities used by many libraries for circulating collections are increasingly used for the storage of special collections materials.

     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.

     summary: For liaison librarians looking to expand their current duties, there are chapters on important although less frequent aspects of academic work such as assisting with university accreditation. Many chapters draw on examples from case studies in the literature or from the authors’ experiences, including the unique attributes of the community college setting, to give readers concrete examples of how this variability in liaison work presents itself.

     summary: If one were to go to any bookseller’s website to find books on user experience, most likely they would get a long list of titles dealing with software and website design. One might expect, given the state of the literature, that a new title dealing with user experience would also be heavily focused on technology.

     summary: The percent of technical services positions with administrative duties has declined precipitously over time, from 46.0 percent in the 1988 study to 34.7 percent in the 1996 study to 26.9 percent in 2011.65 This is compared to public services positions with administrative duties, which had a high of 34 percent in 1988, a low of 20.2 percent in 1996, and 26.0 percent in 2011.66 Electronic services positions with administrative duties increased from 14.5 percent in 1996 to 23.4 percent in 2011.67 Education Requirements Degree requirements were found in 909 (95.0%) of the 957 position advertisements in 2011. Although the current study is not limited to the entry-level job market, the results support Reeves and Hahn’s study, which reported that the public services division dominates the entry-level job market.53 More than half, or 17 of the 33 total 2011 job titles, are public services positions.

     summary: Review of Selected Literature While large ethnographic studies have been conducted in libraries since the landmark Rochester study,3 few of these studies have adopted a holistic, multimethod approach to studying graduate student populations.4 Most studies of graduate students have fo- cused on specific themes, such as their research needs, how they use the library, how to design a better library website, or how to build a more attractive institutional repository.5 It is difficult to summarize graduate student behaviors and needs. 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: What was insightful was the need to present coded library comments in a way that Getting More Value from the LibQUAL+® Survey 799 showcased both the importance of coding categories along demographic lines, as well as the extent to which coded comments were positive or negative in tone. In conclusion, this paper is beneficial to those who are responsible for the analysis of LibQUAL+ qualitative library patron comments in their libraries.

     summary: It is not surprising to see that the question of digital piracy created the greatest disparity in student answers. This is especially true in global communities such as New York University Abu Dhabi (NYUAD), where students come from over 70 different countries and a variety of educational backgrounds.

     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.

     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.

     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.

     summary: This study analyzed digital item metadata and keywords from Internet search engines to learn what metadata elements actually facilitate dis- covery of digital collections through Internet keyword searching and how significantly each metadata element affects the discovery of items in a digital repository. Using Google Analytics on Texas Tech University Libraries’ digital collections, this study extracts the digital content that is frequently visited by search engine traffic, analyzes the valid keywords that are entered in search engines, and compares keywords against implemented values of metadata elements.

     summary: E-book usage may be measured differently by numerous vendors, but typically providers count each time an electronic file is opened or downloaded. 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.

     summary: From this point on in, this article adopts the following definitions: • Library building will refer to the physical library building; • Library place will refer to users’ phenomenological “sense of place” in a library; that is, how users react to and behave in library buildings; and • Library space will refer to how users occupy library buildings, in this case in the form of a detailed seating survey. 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.

The indirect evidence of TRAIL students’ reflections would provide insight into their attitudes and knowledge about the research process, while final papers, a form of direct evidence, would show the extent to which TRAIL students used suitable sources and developed arguments and counterarguments supported with evidence.

     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.

As the data spans 10 years of ENGL 1010 assignments, there is variation among the type of library instruction students received, though all students received some hands-on research time in the library classroom with a librarian present.

     summary: Faculty submitting student works for information literacy assessment were asked to reflect on information literacy in the selected course and to respond to the survey. 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.

     summary: While there is little in the way of new information regarding the one-shot instructional model, the authors have produced an interesting and useful text that offers insights not only into the process of enhancing library instruction but also how the teaching faculty with whom they collaborated in that process perceive both the process in which they were engaged as well as the instructional sessions. 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).

     summary: But mere increases in the number of articles published in both journals cannot entirely explain the increases in NOAA references, because articles published in the journals had to be brought to the attention of NOAA authors, be sufficiently relevant to their work, and be of sufficient quality for them to be referenced. Smaller increases in the number of references to other journals may signal shifts in the research focus of NOAA authors.

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.

     summary: Recognizing the paucity of quantitative and qualitative data from North American educational institutions that have pursued open access policies, the authors devised a survey to collect information on the characteristics of these institutions, as well as the elements of the open access policies, the methods of promoting these policies, faculty concerns about the poli- cies, and how those concerns have been addressed. 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.

     summary: Literature Review Global Efforts in Building Data Infrastructure and Sharing Ecosystems It is important to preserve research data, both qualitative and quantitative, whether in the natural and social sciences or in the humanities, to enable new discovery, reuse, repurposing, creative integration, and content aggregation. For the purpose of this study, research data are interpreted broadly and can be quantitative or qualitative, including (but not limited to) numerical data produced by computational experiments, output from experimental equipment, calibration in- formation, simulation outputs, images or audiovisual files, survey results, interview transcripts, text files, spreadsheets, websites, digital information artifacts, or data- bases compiled from documentary sources.

Peer reviewers are volunteers with regular jobs, so these periods tend to coincide with busier times or times of hiatus.

     summary: Open Access: Attitudes, Beliefs, and Habits Having received funding from BRII to publish open access, it was not surprising that our pool of respondents was supportive of open access publishing. Greg Tananbaum assessed the progress of these funds in SPARC’s 2014 “North American Campus-Based Open Access Funds: A Five-Year Progress Report” and found that their success can be measured in part by the more than $2 mil- lion that have been committed to fund nearly 4,000 research articles.5 Campus OA fund managers offered qualitative insights that the funds “underscore an institution’s com- mitment to the principles behind Open Access” and have enabled campuses to support authors who might not have published in open access journals otherwise, but the study did not consider how authors evaluate and interact with the funds.

     summary: The guide details the research life cycle and provides researchers with a roadmap through the circuitous processes and steps they will likely encounter and targets ways to engage library information services to help achieve their professional goals. Whether analyzing vast amounts of genomic data in search of DNA mutations, man- aging healthcare delivery through the use of integrated health information systems, or using medical imaging data to engineer customized surgical interventions and devices, the demand for information services presses even the most resourceful organizations.

     summary: Faculty Source Requirements Studies looking at the effect of faculty requirements on the types of resources students are allowed to use in their papers are rare; even studies that take the concept into ac- count, such as Gilbert, are somewhat unusual.31 Davis tracked bibliographies of eco- nomics students over several years and found that neither librarian instruction nor the combination of instruction and an instructor’s encouragement to use scholarly sources had a significant effect on source use.32 However, in the fourth year of the analyses, there was a sharp increase in citations to scholarly journal articles when the instructor required at least five such sources. 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.

However, Aesthetic Tracts can and should be read through in its entirety to capture the full and at times messy picture of book design during this period (and at 135 pages there’s no good reason not to give the book its full due).—Dana Hart, Thomas J.

     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: Though the challenges students face when selecting an interesting and manageable research topic are well known to librarians and instructors, little information literacy research has been conducted that systematically analyzes student research topics. Both of the tools used in this study (an evaluative rubric and qualitative analysis software) enable us to analyze the text of student research topics to establish meaning: in the case of the rubric, we can determine student research skill development; and, in the case of the qualitative software ATLAS.ti, we can discover thematic categories and subjects that students choose to write about.

     summary: We highlight the fact that the service mission of academic libraries is in alignment with service innovation and propose that aca- demic libraries respond to disruption by accelerating service innovation. Applying the Resources-Processes-Values framework, we recommend that, to facilitate service innovation, high-level administrators become in- novation leaders, foster an innovation-supportive culture, tie performance evaluations and rewards to innovation outcomes, and create dedicated innovation teams with high levels of decision-making autonomy.

     summary: From the educational perspective, just as many chapter authors note that academic libraries have been much slower to embrace the self-publishing revolution. The fourth chapter also addresses the issue of academics, as the author “presents reasons why academic libraries should consider collecting self-published books to meet the immediate and especially long-term needs of their users.”

     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

     summary: Gayton’s idea of library spaces—different types for different student needs—supports our idea that students need distinct spaces for the types of learning and behavior associated with creativity and innovation. 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: Combine that with the fact that the text is not written exclusively for academic librarians, and one result is a limited discussion of certain topics of great interest to that audience. But, if this text is sometimes guilty of overexplaining some concepts while ignoring others that are of particular interest to academic librarians, it must also be said that it is a work that can certainly benefit many among that group.

Crystal Baird and Ellie Fogarty in chapter 1 indicate that “Academic librarians who recognize their role as central to the educa- tional quality of their college or university will find themselves and their work implicit throughout accreditation standards.”

     summary: These chapters bring different theoretical lenses to bear on literacy studies and information literacy. Using the work of Roland Barthes and Michel Foucault as a springboard, Critten explores ways in which information literacy might move from an author-focused understanding of a text to one that places more separation between how a text is read and its author’s intents.

     summary: This chapter discusses the process that librarians at California State University Northridge followed to create a social media plan after they inherited several inactive library social media accounts. It seems that conferences, presentations, journal articles, and blog posts are often discussing issues related to social media, programming, and student and faculty engagement in library services.

     summary: Before I leave scholarly journals, let me also note that licensing these materials is now not only a very complex economic negotiation with publishers, but must also incorporate many other important non-economic contractual terms dealing with top- ics ranging from reader privacy to usage reporting5 and statistics, archiving policies, accessibility, and even the growing dangers of malware being vectored through third party advertising that may be hosted on publisher sites. 126 Guest Editorial Updating the Agenda for Academic Libraries and Scholarly Communications Clifford Lynch January 19, 2017 This issue of C&RL is focused on scholarly communication, and it seems appropri- ate, in this invited guest editorial, to step back and examine the broader agenda that academic and research libraries need to consider today in engaging with scholarly communications as a way of framing the issue.

     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.

      flesch: 46
     summary: A solid professional performance on the part of academic librarians at present calls for adequate knowledge about copyright law, not only for the development of their own tasks without infringing the law, but also to guide and provide pertinent advice for library users (faculty and students). ost informational resources that make up university library collections are copyrighted works, meaning that a good proportion of the everyday activity of these libraries comes into contact with copyright law.

     summary: The two most-cited articles in JPR ever are data articles, and there are four of them among the top ten.6 Indeed, for each of the ten years 2006–15, a data article is always found and among the top five-cited articles, usually at the top of the list. While International Studies Quarterly, the flagship journal of ISA, maintains its own site for replication data, other ISA journals such as International Studies Perspectives encourage their authors to post their data on the Dataverse.

     summary: The University of Michigan Library became involved in the university’s novel funding program, MCubed, which supported innova- tive interdisciplinary research on campus, primarily by funding student assistants to work on research projects. Furthermore, the extent to which the librarians were involved in the projects, and the range of responsibilities they took on, suggest to others possibilities for involvement and collaboration in research projects.

     summary: Since it is impossible to know exactly what students do or do not know, it is best to err on the side of clarity and define the terms when necessary.6 There are only a handful of studies that identify information literacy terms least understood by students, with the goal of either improving communication between library staff and students or examining whether library terminology interferes with student understanding. 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.

     summary: Complete results are found in the endnotes.29 Part 2: Exploring the Nature of the Sources of ILL Requests A. 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.

     summary: However, the number of OA papers published in the journals remains small compared to their total number of papers,9 and adoption rates vary strongly across different disciplines.10 Since the APC model does not confront journals with funding difficulties and fi- nancial complexities, it might enjoy more stability and a higher chance of survival.11 However, the model involves a heavy financial burden on the author who is likely to run into major difficulties while paying for publication in any journal.12 For instance, she has to pay $3,000 and $500–$5,000 for each paper to be published in Elsevier and Springer journals, respectively. In the next stage, OA papers were separated from non-OA ones using “open access” label.

     summary: That our values pose ethical dilemmas for us in practice is a good thing and should be welcomed by us: from debating such dilemmas comes strength of mission.”— David McMenemy1 Introduction Higher education institutions (HEIs) are aggregating and analyzing student data, in- formation, and the digital trails they leave in information systems to better understand student behaviors. 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: We can do more towards scaffolding, but it requires a bigger institutional push that we currently don’t have. • Our administration—despite claiming advocacy for library instruction—has no fundamental understanding of information literacy instruction. 179 Survey of Information Literacy Instructional Practices in U.S. Academic Libraries Heidi Julien, Melissa Gross, and Don Latham* An online survey sent to the community of professional librarians in the United States who provide information literacy instruction in academic libraries provided insights into their practices and the challenges they face.

     summary: Additionally, in the research works of aerospace, civil and environmental, and electrical and computer engineering faculty, nearly 80 percent of book citations were less than 25 years old. The observation agreed with previous citation studies related to engineering faculty or professional engineers (see the literature review section).

     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.

     summary: Introduction While the open access (OA) movement is growing throughout academia and has gained traction in some disciplines, there is still skepticism on the part of research- ers who question the quality of OA publishing and may associate OA journals with “predatory” journals. 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: In the downstream, GIS data services can be developed around spatial data organization, metadata creation, online spatial data visualization, or data dissemination via a spatial data portal. Many academic libraries have found that GIS Day is an excellent opportunity to highlight GIS applications across disciplines, raise awareness of library GIS services, and make connections.18 Previous literature not only describes library GIS services by scope, but also by depth of service.19

     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.

     summary: How do we increase students’ perception of the relevance and importance of information literacy skills for academic work and life in the real world? Heery noted that nontraditional students “often show an unusual degree of motivation and commitment” in spite of barriers such as time, family or job responsibilities, inadequate academic preparation for college work, and language or cultural barriers.45 The question for information literacy instructors be- comes, “How can we most effectively teach information literacy skills to nontraditional students during one-shot or noncredit library sessions, when the students are pressed for time and vary widely in their backgrounds and interests?” Knowles, Holton, and Swanson recognized the needs of adult learners in their work on andragogy.46 Adult learners want information they can immediately use and ap- ply to help solve problems or

     summary: The clear scope, understandable writing, and shortcuts like the sidebars make this volume valuable for any library staff considering purchasing library technology. This placement is not by accident—the processes outlined in these chapters are the first steps to help library staff focus on what they really expect from new technology and how to realistically examine the available op- tions.

     summary: In an edited volume examining “evidence based library and information practice” (EBLIP), this question is not tongue-in-cheek. Due to its broad scope, it will introduce readers to EBLIP practice, though those interested in more detail will need to consult the journal Evidence Based Librarianship and Information Practice, which Koufogiannakis cofounded and edited.

      flesch: 42
     summary: Researchers surveyed professional librarians employed in ARL (Association of Research Libraries) member institutions and found that women were statistically less likely than their male counterparts to engage in salary negotiations; and, when they did negotiate, they were less successful than men. In national discussions, salary negotiation and wage discrepancy trends are well studied, particularly from a gender perspective.4 Such trends are of particular interest in academic libraries, as evidenced by the yearly ARL salary survey, which studies equity within the profession.

     summary: We discovered two gaps in the literature: the absence of a comprehensive, up-to-date snapshot of library PA systems and the need for a better understanding of job feedback in library PA systems. Similarly, whether writing about competencies and proficiencies or some other method for evaluating a subset of library work, authors should discuss how the evalu- ation method is, or could be, included in library PA systems.

     summary: Students need to be aware of what should be included in an image citation, how to format image citations by using accepted documentation styles, and how to adapt cita- tions to a variety of end products (presentations or posters, for example).6 Benjamin R. Harris7 and Molly J. Schoen8 both describe the importance of teaching image citation in visual literacy instruction programs, but they do not describe image citing in detail. In an article on the development of ACRL’s Visual Literacy Competency Standards for Higher Education, Denise Hattwig, Kaila Bussert, Ann Medaille, and Joanna Burgess write: Image citation is a foundation issue in academic contexts; images are part of the scholarly conversation that is supported by consistent citation practices.

     summary: 336 Provosts’ Perceptions of Academic Library Value and Preferences for Communication: A National Study Adam Murray and Ashley Ireland* While many studies have been conducted under the auspices of cal- culating academic library value, there are no large-scale studies into the perceptions that college or university provosts have of library value, nor are there studies into how provosts prefer library value data to be communicated. al., library deans often struggle to communicate library value, particularly in an age where the academic library’s rhetorical place as the “heart of the university” is no longer sufficient to garner additional resources—positions, funding, facilities—for the library.6 Being able to speak directly to library involve- ment in, and impact on, critical university initiatives such as enrollment, retention, student success, faculty research productivity, and accreditation is at the heart of the Association of College & Research Libraries’ Value of Academic Libraries and Assessment in Action initiatives.7 Academic librarians have conducted many studies using new methodologies and new data collection techniques to calculate the value of academic libraries.

     summary: Scholarly communities have traditionally recognized innovative and valued discoveries through peer review—peer reviewed articles, scholarly mono- graphs, competitive grants, etc. Some of the issue with peer review may be the concerns around “peer”—that those chosen to evaluate may be more concerned with protecting their own reputation or research agenda, or that they may be entrenched in the status quo and thus more likely to dismiss any discovery or research that threatens it.

     summary: Research Questions Two research questions guided the current study: RQ1: What is being communicated about library discovery in the scholarly literature, and where is it being published? 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).

     summary: These data show that, overall, ELLs students scored slightly lower than their non-ELL counterparts and that ELLs, on the average, found the LOOP more useful than their non- ELL colleagues. Librarians who begin researching the term will find that ELL is an umbrella term that not only includes ESL students and language minority students (the two specific populations that are identified in this study), but also includes other groups like non-native English speakers, international students, and generation 1.5 students.

     summary: Limitations Question 7 of our survey, “[i]f yes, please specify the timeframe for phased retirement of classroom playback equipment support,” is ambiguously worded: although our results seem to indicate that respondents interpreted this question correctly, it’s pos- sible that some were confused about whether we were asking about the timeframe for phasing out classroom playback equipment (what we intended) or just support for this equipment. Less com- mon responses included classroom playback equipment support not being a part of the department’s long-term strategic planning (33%), the existence of a campus digitization service (30%), and budget reductions (11%).

     summary: This finding supports studies on millennials, a generation used to a wealth of in- formation but lacking advanced searching skills, who found it difficult to search the 542 College & Research Libraries May 2018 library’s databases because they were used to the ease and friendliness of Internet searching.53 In their study about troublesome concepts in information literacy, Hofer, Townsend, and Brunetti describe how students made explicit comparisons between libraries and Google that reflect their clear preference for the efficiency and user- friendliness of the search engine and their perception of the library resources as arcane.54 Regardless of the difficulties they encountered, students who participated in the study were aware of the importance of acquiring information literacy skills and get- ting to know the information resources available to them; they acknowledged their responsibility to develop their information skills. 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: Carol Myers-Scotton, a linguist writing in the 1990s about research in code-switching, summarizes Gumperz’s characterization of CS as the use of language codes as a type of “social strategy” As the CS data suggest, our libraries are not monolingual spaces, so making sure that printers can print in different scripts (and in general having technology capable of supporting users’ linguistic preferences), as well as having welcome signage in other languages are steps that libraries can take to make non-English speakers feel more included when using the library as a space for studying or meeting with classmates.

     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: Ringer used the total number of book registrations listed in the FY1932 Annual Report for Class A (57,065) (see table 6) as her number of registrations, and the total number of renewals from the July 1958 through June 1959 CCEs (3,942).39 From these sources, Ringer determined the renewal rate for Class A materials was 7 percent.40 As Wilkin noted, those copyrights include thousands of nonbook materials.41 This study determined that it is likely that the Copyright Office deposited book registrations in the pamphlet volume, making the range of 10,820–13,460 a more accurate reflection of all books pub- lished for 1932, regardless of their importance.

     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: In many cases, academic libraries are the natural organizations to lead ef- forts to implement recommendations from journals, funders, and societies to improve research reproducibility. Eligible candidates are required to demonstrate knowledge of “research integrity, research reproducibility, and open science” while also developing and teaching workshops on various tools like Open Science Framework, and specialized software like R.43 Other institutions have started adding reproducibility to job descriptions along with research services and data management.

     summary: It is sound advice, but readers should also know that part one (that is, chapters 1–9), offers an overview of the intellectual underpinnings and development of transdisciplinarity, a detailed description of the unique characteristics of transdisciplinary research as compared to other forms of knowledge creation, robust discussions on broad areas that impact the work of academic librarians (such as how transdisciplinarity strengthens scholarly research, implementing scholarly research to address societal issues, how transdisciplinarity is impacting scholarly communication), and more. But, according to Ms. Martin, the problem of collecting transdisciplinarity research is seen most acutely in the selec- tion process.

      flesch: 35
     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.

     summary: A study of university students in the United States found a connection between IL and user satisfaction of the library.23 Students with more advanced library skills found themselves more satisfied with the library and its services. The results of this study indicate that, compared with UT, PKU students on the whole expressed higher ratings in many areas toward the user education programs provided by their respective library, and they also had a more positive view about the professional competence of the user education (reference services) librarians.

     summary: Some of the obstacles to conducting research are reported as lack of time to complete a research project, unfamiliarity with the research process, lack of support for research (both emotional and monetary), lack of research confidence, discourag- ing jargon, inadequate education in research methods, and lack of motivation.16 Many librarians report that they received little or no training in research methods as part of their LIS master’s degree. Powell, Baker, and Mika also found a significant correlation between institutional support and librarians conducting research.59 The authors looked closer at two new items in the list of research support, formal and informal mentorship.

      flesch: 45
     summary: Staff time is valuable and finite, and, although the Google system performed functionally, the increasing importance and popularity of collaborative work spaces should encourage libraries to select room reservation systems that function automatically to enforce policies and procedures. 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.

      flesch: 38
     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.

     summary: Correlation between Student Completion and Overall Marks There is a weak to moderate positive correlation between students’ final mark for the unit and the number of modules students completed. Carroll adopted the flipped classroom pedagogy with a group of health science students by developing online modules for students to complete prior to attending the class, with the intention of increasing student retention of information literacy skills.14 Online delivery of information literacy instruction is not constrained by the limits of a 50-minute one-shot class, and thus it offers greater scope for student skill development.

     summary: The specific objectives were: • Discover key bibliometric trends of CUB Geological Sciences faculty publications in- cluding the publications in which the faculty’s work most frequently appears, the most frequently cited publications, and the average age of works the faculty cite in their publications; • Detect gaps in the earth sciences serials collection by identifying the most frequently cited works missing from the library’s collection; • Advance a streamlined, programmatic methodology for collecting citation data from the Web of Science database; and • Develop an automated or semiautomated process for reconciling faculty citation data to the local library holdings data. While the Web of Science API allows for great speed and efficiency, future researchers aiming to take advantage of these methods must have institutional subscriptions to Web of Sciences Web Services Expanded to access cited reference data following the techniques presented here.

     summary: The right of librarians to engage in research and scholarship within academic libraries has been acknowledged by library associations both within and outside Canada7 and national organizations such as the Canadian Association of University Teachers (CAUT) and American As- sociation of University Professors (AAUP).8 Research and scholarship are typically required of academic librarians employed in ARL member libraries seeking tenure or continuing appointment.9 Four out of five (81%) of Canadian academic librarians who are members of university associations have “scholarly activities” included in their “actual workload or potential workload.”10 • Are research and scholarship included as part of the professional practice and/ or normal workload for librarians? • How are research and scholarship for academic librarians defined? • Are there restrictions imposed on librarians’ research and scholarship?

     summary: Librarians in this section discuss the sexism related to librarianship, the popular view that it is a “pink-collar” profession (121), and the subsequent lower wages it receives compared to other professions. This aspect in particular would make the work an interesting reading for introductory classes on librarianship, or in courses in library history.

     summary: Electronic Theses and Dissertations (ETDs) is one of the relatively new channels and was launched in the early ’90s to facilitate access to students’ theses and dissertations.2 According to Park, Nam, and Oh, there is an in- creasing interest in integrated ETDs,3 and the number of ETD programs, in particular, at an institutional level, is increasing every year.4 Behrooz Rasuli is a PhD Candidate in Library and Information Science at Iranian Research Institute for Information Science and Technology (IranDoc); email: rasouli@students.irandoc.ac.ir. 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: A Google-like single search box is one of the defin- ing features of web scale discovery tools, promising access to content from disparate source databases via a preharvested central index.2 The literature is at best anecdotal on this topic, tending to convey an assumption that web scale tools are well suited for novice users and uses while subject-specific databases can best serve more advanced discovery needs.3 Moreover, while libraries have produced a wealth of research to understand and evaluate web scale discovery tools in recent years, they have dedicated comparatively little evaluative attention to subject-specific databases, many of which are also known as abstracting and indexing (A&I) services.4

     summary: Many times, blind screen reader users …are …busy looking for the right link or button among the clutter of numerous other links and buttons, many of which are simply promoting other products by the publisher.14 Though not explicitly stated in the article, Oswal’s “descriptive ethnography” appears to be based on his own experience. Headings are one of several techniques developers can use to make a page navigable for screen reader users.

     summary: The social model of disability is a foundational concept in disability studies, created by disability activists in the 1960s and 1970s and given a name by British scholar Mike Oliver in 1983.37 The social model of disability views disability as a form of social oppression, like racism or sexism. Systemic Workplace Barriers for Academic Librarians with Disabilities 173 Theoretical Framework: Disability Studies and Work This study is based on a theoretical framework from disability studies that is grounded in concepts including the social model of disability, ableism, and the historically based assump- tions about disability and work.

     summary: Visual literacy emerges as a set of essential competencies for contemporary learners.4 Be- ing surrounded by visual media does not necessarily mean that students know how to find appropriate images, understand their meaning and cultural context, or integrate them into academic work. Many scholars recognize visual literacy as an important but often overlooked issue in higher education and advocate for teaching it alongside critical reading and other literacies.5 The Association of College and Research Libraries (ACRL) proposed a set of stan- dards for visual literacy competency for higher

In her recent pub- lication, Reale acknowledges that there is an abundance of detailed books describing reflective practice; however, her work is unique because it is tailored specifically to col- lege librarians.

     summary: At first, the latter chapter seems to belong in a different volume, but the author demonstrates that any work on adopting new technology needs to take into account different abilities and circumstances of library users. (82) Chapter 7 introduces the reader to ideas for adopting new technologies, including how to conduct a pilot program or other methods of testing new equipment or models for new uses of existing technology.

     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.

Opposing political forces, however, tried to suppress supposedly subservient titles, especially those writ- ten by Jewish authors.

       title: The Scholarly Impact of Books Acquired via Approval Plan Selection, Librarian Orders, and Patron-Driven Acquisitions as Measured by Citation Counts
        date: 2019-05-03

     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.

     summary: In addition, reference librarians serve as subject liaisons to academic departments and colleges at the university, teach course-integrated information literacy instruction sessions, conduct scheduled individual and small-group research consultations, and participate in collection development activities. 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.

     summary: Research groups are led by a faculty member known as the principal investigator (PI), and made up of graduate students, postdoctoral scholars, and sometimes undergraduate students. While librarians tend to think of teaching and research separately, in research groups the two are happening in con- cert; faculty are training their students to become researchers.

     summary: The first was based on level of faculty OER engagement based on three combined categories: low engagement through awareness activities (such as joining a listserv, participating in professional development activities, or requesting access to review an existing OER text) (n = 18, 12.0%), moderate engagement through adoption or adapting existing OER resources for primary or supplemental use (n = 65, 42.0%), or high engagement through building/sharing new OER (n = 71, 46.0%). For most community college libraries, the idea that new staffing and resources are going to be made available simply to support OER roles is naïve.

     summary: We performed a broad review of the literature to identify a suitable method for analyzing the authority of student sources, eventually settling on and making modest modifications to a faceted taxonomy developed by Chris Leeder, Karen Markey, and Elizabeth Yakel in 2012.3 The taxonomy of Leeder, Markey, and Yakel is a “format neutral” rating system that eliminates artificial distinctions between print and online resources. 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: The purpose of Mary Francis’ book is to make a persuasive case in favor of bringing fun into library instruction in an academic setting and to provide a structured approach for doing so that is rooted in the ACRL Threshold Concepts. Chapter 2 breaks down what the author means when she talks about “fun” as an instructional element, offers supporting arguments in favor of fun as an intentional part of instructional design, and introduces the reader to the three kinds of instructional fun she intends to discuss: humor, games, and group work.

     summary: ”20 Recent literature explores diversity in librarianship through different lens such as reinforcing the importance of diversity, examining the experiences and observations of racial microaggressions, and promoting diversity through the implementation of a library diversity plan.21 However, there is little current literature that addresses the recruitment and retention practices of diverse academic librarians. Introduction It is common knowledge within librarianship that academic librarians do not reflect the de- mographics of their users.

     summary: did a systematic review of authorship practices across disciplines. Editorial Authorship and the Consideration of Alternatives Bruce E. Herbert and Wendi Arant Kaspar Originally, this editorial was intended as a discussion of authorship norms across disciplines—a seemingly harmless topic relevant to academic libraries given libraries provide guidance and access to knowledge in all disciplines and can serve as the linchpin in multi-, inter- or trans- disciplinary research.

     summary: The formal chapters of the text are written from a variety of perspectives, both profes- sional and personal; in all instances, there is a good balance between personal experiences and relevant professional literature. As valuable as tales of professional experience can be, the most powerful chapters are those that focus on the nexus of personal and professional identities.

     summary: The organization of the book is logical and easy to follow; it begins with a longitudinal look at data librarianship, including the origins of data libraries and data archives in the 1960s and 1970s, fol- lowed by an examination of drivers that have shaped the field over the decades. The reader is then eased into data librarianship with the introduction of key terminologies and misconceptions followed by an exploration of familiar topics such as intel- lectual property, metadata, data citation, data literacy, data reference, and collection building.

     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: Martin, the Florence Borchert Bartling Professor of Sociology at the University of Chicago, undergirds his discussion of qualitative social sciences research methods with wide-ranging examples from the literature of the discipline, as he champions rigor in the work of social science research with humor and some snark. It does, however, lay a solid foundation for rigorous analytical thinking in social sciences research while offering a sound, and ultimately time-saving, approach to producing quality research, presented in such a way as to serve as an enjoyable starting-off point for relative newcomers to the discipline.

     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.

       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.

Digital Literacy Unpacked, edited by Katharine Reedy and Jo Parker, is such a work; it presents a multifaceted view of digital literacy today that enhances our understanding of the value and potential of digital literacy in higher education and in the culture at large.

     summary: However, as a steward of a scholarly journal, as an author of professional publications, and as an educator of information literacy and scholarly methods, I do have some thoughts I would like to share about what is happening with university presses, the impact on higher education, and on knowledge dissemination. FIGURE 1 Knowledge Tug of War Witnessing this tension as well as the various news stories about university presses (from closures and budget reductions to restructuring where it seems almost commonplace now that the University Press is moving under the library), it prompts me to ask what the purpose of the scholarly press is.

     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: Conclusion This paper originated as an exploration of the relation between journal downloads and journal citations. In the long run, if download statistics are to be a credible and reliable tool for estimating usage, it seems that it would be advisable for libraries to develop a uniform interface for downloading articles from all publishers and to maintain their own records of journal downloads, which they would share as public information.

According to Donald’s Theory of Mind, preceding types of cognition do not cease to exist after human cognition transitions to a new phase, but exist as four layers within the modern consciousness.

     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.

Green* Research has been conducted within academia about faculty members and students who have experienced mental illness from a variety of theoretical perspectives, including disability studies. While this research acknowledges that the stigma sur- rounding mental illness keeps people from sharing their experiences, there has not been research that focused specifically on librarians in higher education.

     summary: Mech reported that 97 percent of the library directors he surveyed had attained a library degree—an almost universal job require- ment at any size college or university in the 1980s.11 Researchers noticed the job market tight- ened in libraries during the 1980s as many displaced, unemployed, or failed academics from other disciplines moved into libraries.12 Consequently, the competition stiffened with more candidates applying for director-level positions in academic libraries.13 Researchers have audited job listings in library trade journals to determine if job require- ments for nonadministrative librarians and library directors were different. 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.

     summary: The conflicting dual identities of “equitable libraries” and “neutral libraries” ultimately prevents us from providing the highest level of service to patrons. 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: Reproducibility of systematic review searches can be improved by reporting the names of the databases searched;27 describing the procedures used for finding included studies;28 reporting keyword searches;29 and reporting date limit- ers.30 Even after the availability of standards for reporting systematic reviews, many authors still failed to properly describe their methods.31 Criteria to Analyze the Systematic Review Searches The Campbell Collaboration has the most developed set of guidelines for conducting system- atic reviews on interventions in social sciences disciplines. Social sciences librarians are equipped with the knowledge and skills necessary to collaborate with social sciences researchers in developing systematic review searches and should be confident in their ability to design and execute a comprehensive search.

     summary: The first chapter, “Authentic Assessment Defined,” begins provocatively by asking a series of rhetorical questions regarding the current state of library assessment and challenging the profession with the observation that much of what passes for assessment within libraries “tells us very little about the actual learning that takes place in information literacy instruction.” Understanding what students are learning, how they learn, and, more centrally to the concept of authentic assessment, what they are able to do is criti- cal to being an effective educator.

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).

Readers should not be put off by this different approach to teaching information literacy instruction; the methods and approaches presented in this book can be directly applied to the one-shot session.

      flesch: 51
     summary: Students who annotated their ebooks tended to receive higher grades.61 The instructor’s use of the eb- ook can shape student use; when instructors annotated an ebook, students tended to use the tools more.62 New tools, such as visual timelines that make working with annotations easier, can also improve recall.63 However, we also caution that research on learning has clarified that some actions produce “deceptive clarity.”64 This may explain students’ tendency to be inaccurate when judging whether they learned from ebook reading, compared to print.66 To support student learning, rather than focusing on making the learning more efficient, we should introduce “desirable difficulties.”67

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.

     summary: These, in addition to his own research into algorithms in library systems, help support the author’s assertion that library systems are not immune from bias, thereby making the case that even library systems are not neutral. However, the author asserts that, since library discovery systems are created by people with biases, they are not as neutral as vendors and libraries claim.

Reidsma ends the chapter with questions regarding the perceived objectivity of algorithms, as well as asking about the similarities and differences between search engines and library discovery systems, including if either of them warrant the “blind trust” applied to them by users (30).

Chapter authors’ perspectives are informed by their varied positions at the University of Washington library and a complex portrait of digital scholarship appears when their perspectives are taken together.

     summary: Guest Editorial Special Issue Editors’ Introduction* In 2009, responding to a new level of challenges to academic libraries brought on by the reces- sion, the Association of College and Research Libraries (ACRL) created the Value of Academic Libraries (VAL) initiative and allocated funding for a systematic review of existing literature, resulting in the 2010 Value of Academic Libraries report by Megan Oakleaf.1 To take this work forward, the value of academic libraries became a goal in ACRL’s Plan for Excellence in 2011, with a committee dedicated to furthering work in that area.2 The 2017 publication of Academic Library Impact: Improving Practice and Essential Areas to Research marks the latest milestone for the VAL initiative.3 The report, prepared for ACRL by a team from OCLC Research, analyzed existing literature in library and information science and higher education.4 They built on that scholarship with focus group interviews and brain- storming sessions with academic library administrators and college and university provosts. The authors suggested six priority areas for new research in the field highlighting the impact of academic libraries on student learning and success.

     summary: Therefore, this review of literature is twofold: library student assistant training and the role of referrals in libraries. To prepare for the move to the main floor of the library and to prepare for staffing a highly visible service desk, the Office of Undergraduate Studies branded their combined services as Students Helping Students 347 The Learning Center @ Rod Library (TLC) and worked closely with the library to establish areas of collaboration including training for TLC student assistants and LSD student assistants on basic skills (job-related) and advanced skills (supplemental skills, such as information literacy, communication, and other essential skills) for the purpose of staffing the two desks with a common service model; dedicated space in the library’s Learning Commons for peer mentors and tutors to conduct office hours; and a redefined cross-disciplinary service desk in the library’s Learning Commons staffed by TLC students.

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: This study addressed this limitation by surveying and interviewing professional librarians who are directly conducting library impact research, asking about their research experience, their attitudes about impact research, and their response to the ACRL report. This study, sponsored by an ACRL Impact Grant, specifically sought to expand the ACRL Academic Library Impact report, which defined strategic directions for library impact research, largely defined from the perspective of high-level administrators.

      flesch: 44
     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.

     summary: Book selection experience is coded 1 for those with significant book selection experience and 0 for all others.47 Librarians received credit for book selection experience if “regular (e.g., weekly or monthly) selection of books/monographs was a significant component of [their] professional work” for one or more years. Within the title-by-title selection framework, librarians and faculty are often jointly re- sponsible for book selection.

     summary: Students asked evaluative questions of information sources, such as why the information was produced, what it was designed to do, and who created it. Bias/Personal Experience While students quickly pointed out potential bias in information sources, they generally neglected to reflect on their own biases, judgments, and preconceived attitudes toward in- formation.

Recently, Quinn Galbraith, Adam Henry Callister, and Heather Kelley looked at 35 years of ARL salary data, as well as the 2014 ARL Salary Survey data, and found that the gender wage gap is substantially smaller in ARL libraries than in the workforce as a whole.28 Starting salary can have a giant impact on the pay gap for librarians, given the nature of wages over time.

     summary: However, survey responses suggest that promotion processes are not as objective as librarians might believe and are perceived as highly political processes by those seeking promotion. 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.

     summary: Although he used persons from each profession to validate his categorization of each as high time-urgent or low time-urgent, he did not address variations within each field on his scale or the variety of jobs within either field.35 Ifijeh discussed the importance of time management in academic libraries, A Question of Time 705 but his practical approaches to organizational efficiency did not explore differences among individuals or the socially constructed dimensions of time.36 Anderson proposed a matrix of spatial and temporal orientations to library work with two binary axes: global/local and long- term/short-term.37 He argued that each library and staff member occupied a spot on this grid and that when “unsustainable friction” arose between the employer and an employee with a contrasting proclivity, the ethical mandate was for the librarian “to look for other work. 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.

This section and the one that follows it offer the more practically applicable chapters of the book, presenting mostly case studies that describe collaborations, interventions, and assessment techniques arising from SoTL theory and highlighting method- ologies that have allowed these librarians to gain new insights into how both they and their students conceptualize the act of learning.

An analysis of rights statements in digital collection metadata from the DPLA Illinois service hub participants in 2017 was at odds with the high levels of confidence self-reported in a 2016 librarian copyright knowledge survey in which the Illinois hub found that only 25 percent of the metadata in the rights field included any information about copyright.2 Sara R.

     summary: 3D Data Repository Features, Best Practices, and Implications for Preservation Models 791 Literature Review Challenges specific to 3D repositories have been previously explored, and various repository workflows and infrastructures have been proposed for 3D models and collections. Common themes among proposals include collecting metadata centrally while keep- ing raw files distributed, including processing steps to generate 3D models as part of a reposi- tory workflow, and providing a way to easily access the original data for reuse and research.

     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.

Furthermore, research on teacher identity in K–12 teachers suggests that “a teacher’s realization of [their] identity” contributes to a “sense of agency”3 as well as to their commitment to teaching and how fulfilled they are professionally.4 The discussion about librarians’ potential roles as teachers is not new, surfacing as early as the 1940s.5

     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: While it is true that this work relies to some extent upon the reader’s a posteriori knowledge of the world often referred to collectively as Technical Services, and that it is also true that there are variations in quality from chapter to chapter, these case studies offer useful insights to both their intended audience and all those impacted by the critical work done there. This volume, as indicated by the title, focuses broadly on change within two areas—Acquisitions and Collection Services—about whose inner workings many public services librarians know little.

     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.

     summary: Copyright law is a complex and powerful set of regulations that establishes rights of creators and outlines the ways in which others may or may not exploit these products. The first part, “Copyright Librarians’ Role and Advocacy,” discusses how all librarians in the academic institution should gain and possess a comfort level related to copyright law to make informed choices, resist fears, and work within the risk level tolerated by their institu- tions.

Final course assessment data was used to create score distributions for both attempt one and attempt two.

     summary: In our university, in order for the articles to count fully in research output assessments and the like, in addition to reg- istering the bibliographic metadata, they have to either to be published in full OA journals, as paid OA articles in hybrid OA journals, or uploaded as a green OA manuscript copy in our institutional repository. Evolution of Open Access Publishing In the 1990s, OA journals were typically new journals, founded by independent academics on websites they created themselves, and such journals were not to be found in recognized journal indexes.

     summary: Cornell University Library’s Welcome to Cornell University Library (Chinese),29 and McGill University Library’s Welcome to the McGill Library in several different languages.30 These videos “showcase library resources and services in a direct and vivid way,” and the native languages used in narration make students “feel encouraged to come to the library and comfortable to contact the librarians.”31 While vernacular language orientation videos may still be new in the library, the success of using library videos to reach out to students in general manifests the potential of expanding this strategy to the international student population. 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.

      flesch: 28
     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.

       words: 9292
      flesch: 45
     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.

       words: 7877
      flesch: 33
     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.

       title: Impact of Undergraduate Students’ Library Use on Their Learning beyond GPA: Mixed-Methods Approach
        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: Registered reports enable research methods to be peer-reviewed before data collection. Additionally, C&RL has recently made a commitment to authorship transparency in adopting portions of the CRediT taxonomy with a scheduled rollout for 2021.12 Adding a registered reports submission track would help ensure that C&RL maintains these high standards but with a heightened awareness toward research methods.

     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.

     summary: ”20 In addressing challenges facing university archives to document modern society, Helen Willa Samuels notes that archivists must consciously coordinate new collecting areas and encourage communities, particularly student groups, to create resources on topics that help fill gaps in the documentary record.21 Samuels identifies several ways to accomplish this task, including engaging with students to create new collections that better represent student life such as diaries, oral histories, and photographic materials. 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.

     summary: Therefore, efforts to evaluate the ways students use research guides are necessary to ensure the best outcomes for student learning. 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

The impact of session location on workshop success can be seen in figure 2. Target audience: reporting options for this variable were—“All students, staff, and faculty,” “All students,” “All graduate students,” “All undergraduate students,” or a “Specific group” of students (such as international students, business students, or students writing theses).

     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.

     summary: In a 2018 pilot study that surveyed library employees at the University of California, San Fran- cisco (UCSF) campus about sexual harassment experiences, 48 percent of respondents indicated that they had experienced sexual harassment at work.1 These findings provided the impetus for the current study and correspond to results of a 2018 report by the National Academies of Jill Barr-Walker is Clinical Librarian at San Francisco General Hospital at the University of California, San Fran- cisco, email: jill.barr-walker@ucsf.edu; Courtney Hoffner is Librarian at the University of California Los Angeles, email: choffner@library.ucla.edu; Elizabeth McMunn-Tetangco is Instruction & Research Librarian at the Univer- sity of California Merced Library, email: emcmunn@ucmerced.edu; and Nisha Mody is Associate Director at the Network of the National Library of Medicine, Pacific Southwest Region, based at UCLA, email: nmody@library. ucla.edu. 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.

Shelter in a Time of Storm by Jelani M. Favors explores the story of historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs) and how they fostered student activism.

They also take note of other movements in the field to discuss critical approaches to information literacy, how various professional organizations like AASL, ACRL, and IMLS have used information literacy to guide instruction librarians and how understanding patron perspectives of infor- mation literacy can also guide the work of teaching librarians.

     summary: If anything, Keep Calm and Log On is a better starting point than most for introducing the complex nature of how information functions on the internet and the ways communities manage intersections of information and capitalism and profit. However, Andrews fails to adequately address how the Framework operates in our field, depicting them as “guidelines” rather than the much cussed and discussed threshold concepts developed by volunteer librarian labor to teach about information.

Methods For this study, library data services are defined as library services to manage researcher data, whether that is informational or technical in nature.37 The study is directed toward, but not limited to, academic librarians providing data services.

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.

Internationally, “data steward” is one of several terms used in the literature and among practitioners to describe a person working with research data management (RDM).

     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).”

In addition, the status of Big Data research in library in China was explored.37 The authors supported that library Big Data could also more effectively serve researchers or ordinary users better.

     summary: Like many academic librarians, I spend a lot of time in the classroom providing students with information literacy and data literacy skills, battling fake news and misinformation during a time when the truth is challenged by political agendas and ideologies, and, as Barack Obama told us at the 2005 ALA Annual Conference, information is used not to illuminate but to obfuscate. Gannon then moves into explicitly discussing the importance of more inclusive practice, identifying barriers or challenges practitioners might face, and closes with short reflective prompts for readers.

     summary: As an academic librarian firmly ensconced in the niche of library publishing (with its preference for open access), I (and perhaps you) have read a number of edited volumes centering on the intersection of libraries and scholarly communications that examine OA from practical and theoretical angles. The title also signals the editors’ contention that scholarly communication in the current moment correlates with open access.

     summary: Administrators used policies and practices that amounted to what Hindmarch-Watson calls a “weaponizing of respectability” as telegraph workers sought to prove the intellectual and economic value of their labor. Hindmarch-Watson shares evidence of telecommunications workers both fomenting and undermining these defiant acts.

     summary: But in addition to their own enthusiasm, determination, and Press’s good advice, freshly minted MLS-holders looking for academic library jobs in an economy rocked by the coronavirus pandemic will also need a good dose of luck. 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).

      flesch: 33
     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.

     summary: Now this is just an illustration—and I expect that many librarians’ resumes look like this. Librarians have weathered the pandemic in much the same ways they have weathered the growth of the Internet (and the doomsayers that it would replace libraries), sea- sons of austerity and accountability in higher education and other forces, external and internal.

     summary: Evidently, ideal candidates for academic East Asian studies librarian positions would have excellent expertise in East Asian studies and solid training and experience in librarianship. 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.

     summary: Almost all interviewees recognized that teaching librarians go to their colleagues for advice (seeking their expertise), and that students also go to each other for similar information, but at what point does one see a person as a peer and another as an expert? 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.

     summary: By using these roles to inform the codebook for a content analysis of LIS instructional course descriptions, an indica- tion of alignment (or misalignment) between the content in MLIS instructional librarianship courses and the actual roles/duties of practicing instructional librarians may be found. These too are roles where instruc- tional librarians are forced to “do-it-themselves,” as LIS instructional courses (if offered at all) continue to focus on outdated interpretations of the instructional librarian roles.

Clear and measurable learning objectives address two of the aforementioned barriers to conference attendance as a professional development opportunity—difficulty measuring learning gains and difficulty measuring the value of professional development when applied to the job—and make it possible to quantify the value of regional conference attendance as a means of fostering librarian professional development.

Literature Review Given that the Framework for Information Literacy for Higher Education sets forth the idea that “Authority Is Constructed and Contextual” as one of its six core concepts, the research team remained interested in exploring student constructions of authority.12 Although most published studies that have examined student source selection have chosen to use surveys or question- naires for data collection, the team also chose to continue its focus on bibliographic analysis of authentic student work.

     summary: Unfortunately, since Kohler does not clearly articulate exactly how individual VRS transcripts are mapped to the READ Scale or provide any aggregated metrics of predictive accuracy, it is not possible to benchmark future research against Kohler’s work.15 Since the research goals for the current study were not focused on topic-modeling, other methods were identified for the purposes of processing, computing, and modeling VRS tran- scripts. Comparisons between the definition and scope of any two TAG labels reveals distinctions in types of patron inquiries characterized and detected in individual VRS transcripts.

     summary: As an initial step to fill this gap, we pose the following two research questions: The Impact of Basic Data Literacy Skills on Work-Related Empowerment 711 RQ 1: How can one identify the relationship between data-related skills of alumni and their psychological empowerment while entering the labor market? RQ 2: What is the relationship between data literacy skills and factors of psychologi- cal empowerment in the work-related empowerment of alumni on the labor market? Data Literacy (DL) This may also apply to students during their study programs as well as to a postgraduate workplace where data literacy skills might prove useful in career development.

     summary: Katz also addresses the overwhelming whiteness of AI experts, the attempts to address this with calls for increasing diverse representation among AI practitioners, and the ways that exist- ing ethical critiques of AI often end up replicating the very systems they claim to want to fix. 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.

     summary: The focus on design also elides the massive apparatus of labor and technology that underlies not just the production of maps, but the systems that allow historians to study them now, through map libraries and archives. 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.

Similarly, we also observe the significant impact of shelf time on book usage preference through the within-discipline regressions.

     summary: The author concludes by summarizing the main issues dealt with in the book, including the fol- lowing points: statistical analyses should answer specific questions; variability exists in any data collected; researchers should understand why they are employing specific formulas and procedures to analyze the data; the communication of results should be as simple as possible; margins of error should be presented to readers; and statistical analysis should be reported clearly, and in enough detail, to make it reproducible. University of Cambridge professor David Spiegelhalter describes how real-life problems are solved with statistical analysis as a way of introducing concepts necessary for data literacy.

     summary: The book offers a thoughtful selection of these codesigned in- struction sessions that demonstrate the value and impact of librarian-faculty collaborations in information literacy instruction. Although these case studies expose some of the problems that librarians encounter as they try to collaborate with the faculty, the studies ingeniously provide a model of how the librarian and faculty can design and teach in a wholesome collaborative way that enriches student learning.

     summary: Moreover, academic teaching librarians will reflect on new informa- tion literacy frameworks as they interconnect with instruction, considering the role of the student as an active participant as a seeker, consumer, and producer of information. However, the field still struggles to define what makes a teaching librarian and whether academic teaching librarians see themselves as teachers.

     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: When scholars seek peer-reviewed and grey literature on a given topic, they have many options for search platforms, and these platforms have differing search syntaxes and algorithms for displaying results that can shift over time without any indication to the user. Users are asked to consider search syntax differences between search platforms.

      flesch: 43
     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?

     summary: The study sought to evaluate whether, and to what extent, the presence and student utiliza- tion of personal librarians affect information literacy–related academic outcomes and student confidence with information literacy skills. colonialism.20 The program described by Erica England and Leo S. 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.

     summary: Higher educational institutions generally agree that critical thinking is a key learning outcome for students and an important indicator of success.23 The focus on critical thinking instruction for first-year students in this study was deliberate for several reasons. 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.

     summary: The main objective of this project was to identify a new platform of library research services. Restructuring efforts at University of Arizona15 and University of California, Riverside were among those seeking to intensify involvement in research projects, data management, dissemination, and measuring impact.16 As a touchpoint for services, research commons spaces began to emerge along with digital humanities and digital scholarship centers, focused on research support and development.17 Lippincott, Hemmasi, and Lewis documented develop- ments in digital scholarship centers including their service and spatial attributes.18 Technological change has driven innovation; as early as 1999, Deckelbaum identifies GIS as a potent analytic tool for research problems across a broad array of disciplines.19 A 2007 Association of Research Libraries study describes developments in e-science and team science with implications for practice.20 Horstmann and Brase articulate libraries’ roles in data-intensive research combining theory, experiment, and

     summary: This operation was considered, both by the man- agers of business using filing cabinets as well as the sales departments of the filing cabinet manufacturers, to be so logical as to be practically automatic. Other out- standing surprises include a panoply of amusing images—early advertisements depicting men jumping into open filing cabinet drawers to demonstrate just how well-built a particular cabinet is, disembodied and shapely hands caught in the act of opening a file drawer (sex, as always, seems to sell), ridiculous cartoons—and even a poem gently mocking secretaries making filing errors while distracted by the thought of after-work dates and other frivolities.

     summary: However, I see this book as having a broad appeal across many disciplines, ranging from Indigenous studies (including Hawaiian, Māori, Pacific Islander, Native American, First Nations, or other Ethnic Studies departments or programs), history, sociology, anthropology, gender or queer studies, law, politics, literature, social movements, and more. 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.

     summary: The IFM instead offers practical advice for implementing intellectual freedom practices in libraries and answers legal questions regarding intellectual freedom while explaining why librarians and library workers should want to do this. 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.

     summary: Using Abdul Alkalimat’s opening chapter on eBlack Studies and recovery (the Sankofa Principle) as a springboard, Amy E. 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. Recovery as the overarching theme of the book often means that many of the materials that create the foundation of Black Atlantic DH projects are held tightly by elite, well-resourced institutions that often win what limited grant funding is available.

While a benefit of Curriculum Builder is its ability to track usage of library resources assigned in the LMS, it cannot be presented as the only, or best, option.

This is why Jack Halberstam’s subtitle, The Disorder of Desire, is more striking than the title proper and why his book is so relevant to academic libraries.

       title: Ideology, Policy, and Practice: Structural Barriers to Collections Diversity in Research and College Libraries
        date: 2022-03-03
       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

     summary: This approach also allowed researchers to unearth granular differences in students’ work in response to the different modes of ILI students had received. For example, in a 2010 article, Hoffman and Ramin proposed a set of best practices for interacting with online students, but they discussed “online” without specify- ing potential differences between asynchronous and synchronous contexts in either the project’s systematic review or case study.7 It was only through Hoffman’s mention of “web-conferencing”8 that the researchers inferred that the case study most likely examined a synchronous course.

     summary: These claims were posted to Twitter, which allowed other students to respond and share their own experiences the way Spelman students did with #SpelSafe.32 Students reported absorbing information shared on social media even if they are not active participants on the platforms, as one interviewee pointed out: “people are dropping screenshots of tweets in the group chat, or people are like, ‘Look at this homophobic thing somebody said on Instagram.’” Our second research question dealt with the role that the library played in LGBTQIA+ student information practices. 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.

Academic libraries, the scene of many of Murray-Rust’s stories, need to be cognizant of remaining relevant, but they are also embedded in the academic landscape of postsecondary institutions that may see change as less urgent than she describes.

     summary: The often clunky but always imposing machinery of archival control lurks beneath nearly all of modern information. While each man championed objectivity in public information, Dewey believed “journalists were high-profile players in an ongoing contest to interest the public in the public interest.

     summary: The chapters in this section recenter library history around the experiences and contributions of BIPOC library workers, making the structures of white supremacy in LIS more visible. Critical race theory is deployed in Knowledge Justice to facilitate the understanding and dismantling of white supremacist structures that make the profession inhospitable and toxic to BIPOC library workers.

     summary: In this and other in-depth text analysis that compares books by white authors, black authors, and POC authors in (first) literary reviews and (second) recognition through commercial and critical success, So puts to rest some of the enduring myths of book publishing—that authors are vetted for the quality of their work; that there are a lot of diverse books being published; that we have reached volume and suc- cess with African American literature. So starts with the “count” that 97 percent of books published by Random House in this time period are by white authors.

     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.

A modular approach to instructional design models means that the process is not limited to the creation of new content and does not have to proceed in a linear way.

     summary: In this book, Federici analyzes various forms of reproductive labor to generate new understandings of Marxist theory, and new possibilities for socialist organizers. Ultimately, Federici argues that understanding reproductive labor and its gendered nature is necessary for building a strong socialist movement, and an equitable world where everyone can thrive.

     summary: Many of the science fiction writers included in this collection did not have the privilege to write literary fiction and wrote for publishers who wanted work that could easily sell. That said, there is little here that con- siders the breadth of Delany’s work in the decades covered by this book.

     summary: Skinner also didn’t mind causing collateral damage to Black students in impoverished schools whom he tried to enlist as trial populations for intelligence testing and programs to increase reading, regardless of the human cost. Johnson defines memory infrastructures as “backgrounded resources for practicing memory” that “explicitly obfuscate social issues related to memory because they are built to do just that.”

     summary: Johnson defines memory infrastructures as “backgrounded resources for practicing memory” that “explicitly obfuscate social issues related to memory because they are built to do just that.” We can think of memory infrastructures as shared con- ceptual frameworks for remembering that often obscure the human labor and human biases contained within their maintenance and creation.

     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).

Library instruction began in 1870, around the same time higher education in the United States expanded.

     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).

Lalitha has also started gently informing professors and students that she will no longer spend inordinate amounts of time in the one-shot demonstrating effective search techniques within algorithmically biased databases; instead, she pivoted to uncover student expertise and curiosity to help users become more invested in their research topics.

     summary: As a result, we would design and lead information literacy through a combination of opportunities such as teacher-training programs and instructional consulta- tions intended to build scaffolded research assignments; librarian-faculty collaborations that prioritize the transferability of knowledge while honoring and disrupting disciplinary ways of thinking; and learning objects that provide an intentional structure for sustaining information literacy at our institutions. 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: Self-centered research is a practice of research that emphasizes the importance of setting out on our own research journey, recognizing the importance of ethics in the research process, while coming to grips with our own abilities and limitations as researchers. However, when it comes to research, nothing will capture our focus and attention as much as research- ing a topic that has personal significance to us.

     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.

     summary: Consideration of ways to improve this condition, happily is out- side the scope of this paper, but the librarians in charge of group libraries should have, or should acquire, sufficient familiarity with the literatures of the sub- jects in their groups to enable them to be of real assistance to the experts they must serve, and also to contribute largely to the development of their respective li- braries. 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: A college or university may expand its teaching and research activities only to find that it possesses neither the labora- tory nor library resources necessary to the successful carrying out of its new pro- gram. It must also be recognized that scholars are concerned with library resources rather than with the resources of a single library.

T h e function of rare books, we guess, is to be rare; to give a highly technical, specialized and associative pleasure to those suscepti- ble thereto.

Bishop's statement, made nearly thirty years ago, on subject entries remains true today, and the situation is aggravated by the growing unwieldiness of card catalogs.

     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.

     summary: Until a few years ago, the published guides to book selection consisted generally of selected lists of books, enumeration of book lists and journals of review, and some aphorisms designed to aid the li- brarian in avoiding pitfalls which occa- sionally engulf book selectors of varying degrees of experience. T h u s The Library Survey is essentially a survey of library surveys.

There is one paper each on distribu- tion, as illustrated in the personal history of a book store; books and self-therapy; and the teaching of book selection.

     summary: In Contemporary Fiction and Non- Fiction, George Stevens, until recently editor of the Saturday Review of Litera- ture, applies the glass to the book reviewer to show how hazardous, and why, has become the task of book selection. More attention to book selection in college and university libraries would have increased its useful- ness.

     summary: While the authors draw heavily upon the experience of other libraries, as well as standards of the American Li- brary Association, their recommendations are clearly for the Chicago Public Li- brary. Furthermore their evidence is based on the needs and problems of Chi- cago and not assumed needs or the experi- ence of other libraries.

     summary: T o sum up the advantages of the sug- gested plan: (1) It should bring about the desired result of placing documentary ma- terial unwanted by one library on the shelves of other libraries, where it is needed. Accord- ing to this arrangement the clearing house would never actually handle the publications themselves, but would merely arrange for the transfer of material between holding and requesting libraries.

     summary: I have witnessed from Virginia to T e x a s the erection of university library buildings that in their organization and size reflect the expanding conception of the impor- tance of library resources and service in higher education. It did not seem to occur to him that unless these undertakings were properly supported with library resources and integrated with intelligent library use, the results he ex- pected from them could not be achieved.

     summary: For the purpose of the pres- ent discussion, the term catalog will be used in its current, very restricted sense of a list of the books in a given collection or library, or in several such libraries, with- out reference to limitations of subject or kind of book. 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: Catalogers then can make definite decisions as to which of the rules and usage their libraries with the staff and funds at their disposal can afford to use, or which rules will supply the extent of fulness in cataloging which their type of library needs. I should like to say that the Library of Congress is very keenly conscious of the high cost of cataloging and is eager to cooperate with other libraries in working towards a common solution.

A survey of the fourteen representative classification schemes for photograph collections is discouraging in that it reveals no standardization.

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.
