Machine Readable Bibliographic Records: Criteria and Creation. ERIC Clearing- house on Library and Information Sci- ences. By Ritvars Bregzis. May 1970, 2-Bp. (ED 039 388, MF-$0.25 HC- $1.50). The centrality of bibliograhic records in library automation, objectives of the bib- liographic record file, and elemental fac- tors involved in bibliographic record crea- tion. are discussed. The practical work of creating bibliographic records involves: ( 1) data base environment; ( 2) technical aspects; ( 3) cost; and ( 4) operational methodology. The application of automat- ed processes to library service functions is dependent on the availability of appropri- ately structured and functional biblio- graphic data files. There is a general lack of such files. The known bibliographic rec- ord files range widely in their scope of 60 I College & Research Libraries • January 1971 coverage, size, detail of data coverage, functional orientation, and method and cost of production. As a rule they are not mutually compatible. The machine-read- able bibliographic record services offered by the Library of Congress and the British National Bibliography constitute a trend in distribution of machine-readable rec- ords of standardized definition and multi- purpose functionality to the library world at a consistently increasing rate. Although cooperative creation of large bibliographic record files appears to be a feasible ob- jective for the coming decade, it is not clear to what extent a similar sharing by the small library of the required comput- ing services will become possible for pur- poses of cooperative utilization of the co- operative bibliographic data files. The Academic Library Response to New Directions in Undergraduate Education. ERIC Clearinghouse on Library and In- formation Sciences. By Patricia B. Knapp. April 1970, 23p. (ED 039 390, MF-$0.25 HC-$1.25). Following a discussion of the major trends in higher education, the response of academic libraries to these developments is considered, with particular attention to developments related to undergraduate li- braries, community college libraries, learn- ing resources centers, the independent study movement, the library-college move- ment, and library programs in experiment- al colleges. The base line for this selective, evaluative, and interpretive review was provided by a bibliography based on a lit- erature search conducted by the ERIC Clearinghouse for Library and Information Sciences staff at the University of Minne- sota. Emphasis is on publications since 1965. A major impression received from re- viewing the literature on library services for undergraduate education is that a great deal more is said about what ought to be done than about what is actually being done. A second and related general im- pression is that the library response to new developments in undergraduate education is disappointing because so little of a truly innovative nature is occurring in under- graduate education itself. Exceptions to these generalizations are noted. The text is followed by a list of references. Library Statistics of Colleges and U niver- sities, Analytic Report, Fall 1968. By Bronson Price. National Center for Edu- cational Statistics, 1970. 85p. (ED 039 888, MF-$0.50 HC available from the Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, D.C. 20402 HE 5.215 15031-68, $1.00). In 1967-68 the operating expenditures of the 2,370 college and university libraries covered in the survey totaled approximate- ly $510 million. Of that total, $189 million or 37 percent was spent on books and other libra1y materials, and $275 million or 54 percent was spent for salaries and wages. Binding and rebinding accounted for 3 percent of the total; all other operating expenditures, for 6 percent. Aside from microform holdings, some 305 million vol- umes were held by the libraries at the end of 1967-68. Over 2.5 million periodical titles were being received, while the num- ber of serial titles other than periodicals was slightly more than one million. Of the 43,500 nonhourly personnel, 17,400 or 40 percent represented librarians, 5 percent were professional staff other than librari- ans, and 55 percent were nonprofessionals. The assistance provided by students and hourly personnel amounted to nearly 32 million hours. The overall library expendi- tures taken as a percent of total institu- tional expenditures for educational and general purposes (including organized re- search) was 3.7 percent. Research and Development in the Com- puter and Information Sciences. Volume 1, Information Acquisition, Sensing, and Input: A Selective Literature Review. By Mary Elizabeth Stevens. National Bureau of Standards, March 1970. 169p. (ED 039 891, MF-$0.75 HC available from the Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office, Wash- ington, D.C. 20402. ( C13.44: 113 Vol. 1, $1.50). The series, of which this is the initial re- port; is intended to give a selective over- view of research and development efforts and requirements in the computer and in- formation sciences. The operations of in- formation acquisition, sensing, and input to information processing systems are con- sidered in generalized terms. Specific top- ics include but are not limited to: ( 1) source data automation and remote sens- ing techniques; ( 2) communication sys- tems and data h·ansmission links; ( 3) au- dio and graphic inputs; ( 4) preprocessing operations upon input items; ( 5) character recognition; ( 6) speech recognition; and (7) various other aspects of automatic pat- tern recognition. Supplemental notes and a bibliography of over 640 cited references are included. Research and Development in the Com- puter and Information Sciences. Volume 2, Processing, Storage, and Output Re- quirements in the Information Process- ing Systems: A Selective Literature Re- view. By Mary Elizabeth Stevens. Na- tional Bureau of Standards, May 1970. 129p. (ED 039 892, MF-$0.75 HC available from the Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, D.C. 20402 C13.- 44: 113 Vol. 2, $1.25). Areas of concern with respect to proc- essing, storage, and output requirements of a generalized information processing sys- tem are considered. Special emphasis is placed on multiple-access systems. Prob- lems of system management and control are discussed, including hierarchies of stor- age levels. Facsimile, digital, and mass random access storage media and tech- niques are considered. A variety of output mode requirements are also considered, including direct recording to microforms; on-line display systems; printing, photo- composition, and automatic character gen- eration; and three-dimensional, color, and other special-purpose display systems. Problems of system use and evaluation are also briefly noted. A bibliography of ap- proximately 480 cited references is includ- ed, together with supplemental notes and quotations from the literature. A Comparative Analysis of Interactive Storage and Retrieval Systems with lm- Abstracts I 61 plications for BCN Design. By Herbert R. Seiden. System Development Corpo- ration, January 1970. 65p. (ED 039 893, MF-$0.50 HC-$3.35). The work reported is part of a series of studies aimed at providing information and assistance to the National Library of Medicine ( NLM) in planning the Biomed- ical Communications Network (BCN). The first part reviews the literature on systems relevant to BCN design, documents Sys- tem Development Corporation's position with respect to certain concepts of bibli- ographic retrieval as they relate to BCN planning, and provides a basis for better understanding of the comparisons. The sec- ond part contains comparisons of various systems based on data available in open sources. Over 150 systems were reviewed. Of these, 26 general purpose and 11 bibli- ographic systems were selected for com- parison, based on criteria described in the study. Implications for system design, for the BCN user, and for network planning are discussed in the third part. Some of the major points are: (1) NLM should stay with the bibliographic retrieval design; ( 2) a unified network concept should be developed and implemented; ( 3) there is a need for standards and specifications for inputs, thesauri, and unit records; ( 4) users should be provided more direct ac- cess to the files on an interactive basis; and (5) some files should be maintained cen- trally while others should be duplicated at several centers. New Mexico's Library Resources: Present Status and a Plan for the Future. By New Mexico State Library, Santa Fe; New Mexico Library Development Council. Arthur D. Little, Inc., March 1970, 207p. (ED 039 895, MF-$1.00 HC-$10.45). The findings and conclusions of this study are based on personal interviews with librarians and on information gath- ered from questionnaires. Responses to the questionnaires are pictured in tables. The report resulting from the study is intended to provide: ( 1) a summary of existing li- brary strengths and weaknesses; (2) rec- I 62 I College & Research Libraries • January 1971 I ommendations for improvement of the to- tal library program; and ( 3) a source of verification and support for those in New Mexico who will actively seek a statewide solution to a statewide problem. Appendix A, on academic libraries, was prepared by Dr. Roscoe Rouse, Director of the Library, Oklahoma State University. The libraries visited are listed in Appendix B. Recom- mendations of the study group are cen- tered around: ( 1) a statewide library ser- vice network; and ( 2) resource and per- sonnel development. Computational Linguistics: Bibliography 1968. By Bozena Dostert and others. Rand Corporation, January 1970. 57p. (ED 039 901 , MF-$0.25 HC-$2.95). Cited are 573 U.S. and foreign articles, reports, and books particularly relevant to the field of computational linguistics with selective coverage in the fields of compu- tation and programming, and social science uses of computers as language processors. In the area of linguistics, a fairly broad view of structural theory and semantics is taken without being exhaustive. Structural properties of some languages, especially English and Russian, are also selectively covered. The coverage of psycholinguistics and sociolinguistics is also selective. The Development and Testing of Materi- als for Computer-Assisted Instruction in the Education of Reference Librarians. By Thomas P. Slavens. The University of Michigan, School of Library Science, April 1970. 182p. (ED 039 902, MF- $0.75 HC-$9.20). Three problems in the field of library science concerning the education of ref- erence librarians which this project at- tempted to solve were: ( 1) unsatisfactory teaching methods; ( 2) variation of educa- tion and skill among students; and (3) lack of self-instructional materials. The de- velopment and testing of computer-assist- ed instructional materials has conh·ibuted to the solution of these problems by mak- ing available: ( 1) a type of education in which reference situations are simulated; ( 2) an instructional period to evaluate dis- crimination and performance; and ( 3) easily revised self-instructional materials. The purpose of these materials is to help the library science students at the master's level become acquainted with a wide spec- trum of representative reference materials and to learn to use these in meeting the informational needs of the library patrons . To accomplish these objectives, 167 refer- ence work annotations and 850 questions dealing with these tools were compiled and organized into a linear program. Ref- erence interviews in libraries were mon- itored and recorded for use as simulated case studies. In these situations, the com- puter acts as the patron and the student as the librarian. The group using the com, puter scored significantly higher on exam- inations than did another control group which did not use the computer. Meeting Information Needs in Ohio; A · Report on TWX Experiment and Ele- ments That Will Assist in Designing a Reference and Information Network. By the State Library of Ohio, Columbus , 1970. 24p. (ED 039 909, MF-$0.25 HC-$1.30) . Ohio libraries are committed to develop- ment of a reference and information net- work. Duggan's twelve components are cited as useful in planning. A TWX ex- periment linking two union catalogs and the State Library is described. In a 172- day period (Feb.-Oct. 1969), 4,502 re- quests (estimated as 44 percent or less of the cunent potential volume) entered the system. Of these, 2,318 (52 percent) were found at the first station, 427 ( 10 percent) at the second station, and the remaining 38 percent were unlocated. 539 titles ( 12 percent) were located as a result of the connection. Of the 1,719 not located, 413 were new publications outside the inter- library loan code recognized by the union catalogs, and 996 were not identified in three bibliographic sources with indica- tions that they were incorrect entries or material outside the scope of the catalogs. The report suggests that 87 percent of the ccproper" requests could be located in Ohio libraries . The mean number of days-items which were in the system was 2.61 , with a range of 1-13. The paper ends with sug- gestions for next steps including a demon- stration of a statewide functional approach to meeting information needs of a specific target group. Library Management; Papers Presented at a Workshop Sponsored by the Library Association of Alberta, March 69, Red Deer, Alberta. By Gertrude C. Pomahac, ed. Library Association of Alberta, 1969. 55p. (ED 039 913, MF-$0.25 HC- $2.85). The first of the Occasional Papers issued by the Library Association of Alberta is a record of the papers delivered at the As- sociation's workshop on library manage- ment held in March 1969. The papers, Abstracts I 63 both formal and informal, are presented as they were given. Titles of the papers are: ( 1) "Management of Small College Li- braries," ( 2) "Management of Public and Regional Libraries," ( 3) "Education for Library Management," ( 4) "Librarian- Manager or Professional Manager?," and ( 5) "Management: A Personal Viewpoint." As part of the continuing education pro- gram of the Association, the Workshop was designed to provide administrators and ed- ucators with the opportunity to share their experiences with representatives of every kind of managerial responsibility, in every size and type of library. A bibliography of management books published since 1960, biographies of the speakers, and a list of workshop participants follow the paper presentations.
