College and Research Libraries B y E D N A M A E B R O W N N e w Periodicals of 1952—Part II Miss Brown is headserials section, De- scriptive Cataloging Division, Library of Congress. TH E N U M B E R of journals of interest and value which were launched in the year 1 9 5 2 w a s an increase over that of recent years if one can judge by the receipts of the L i b r a r y of Congress. A n d since many of these journals are published or sponsored by government agencies, societies, libraries and universities of long standing it would seem they should have a good chance of survival. Literature T h e new journals in the field of litera- ture are of interesting variety. The Blue Guitar, Four Winds a n d 2 1 / 2 a r e " l i t t l e magazines." T h e first, published in L o s Angeles, has three editors and a college rep- resentative at a number of schools. T h e contents are arranged in three sections, " I n - tellectual directions" which consists of poems, " E x p l i c a t i o n s " of one or more of the poems and "Prosodic Problems." " T h e belief that a wide exchange of creative talent can contribute to understanding between peoples, and between groups within peoples, and that our future, the w o r l d ' s future, is dependent upon the activity and encourage- ment of creative individuals," led to the starting of Four Winds. T h i s little maga- zine is published in Gloucester, Massachu- setts under the direction of a board of edi- tors. In addition to the poetry and prose of new writers there are reproductions of drawings and paintings of new artists. 2 1/2, a Magazine of the Contemporary Arts lists as contents of number one such art forms as a story, a poem, a portfolio, a docu- mentary film, a play, and a madrigal.
