College and Research Libraries 154 I College & Research Libraries • March 1971 or when he discusses pseudo-homographs he uses WADERS WADERS (birds) (footwear) , a word not in use for galoshes in this country. Note also the lack of consistency in cap- italization of the explanatory words. The use of "literary warrant" throughout the volume makes it a term that should be defined for the U.S. audience. Although he has previously stated that he is concerned only with the modem, and that this is an elementary textbook, the lack of consistent bibliographic citation was a bother. Those authors whom Foskett knew, or liked, received complete cita- tions, others, such as Library of Congress Rules for Descriptive Cataloging; the Cut- ter, Kaiser, Dewey volumes that are early twentieth century; and Farradane's opera- tors which are cited for almost a full page, are mentioned without complete references, etc. Twenty-four pages are devoted to post- coordinate systems, whereas eighty-four are devoted to precoordinate systems. Be- cause of the organization of the volume quite a bit of redundancy occurs. This may be a reinforcing device for teaching pur- poses. Despite all the foregoing, the volume is clearly and logically written · and would certainly serve as an elementary exposition of subject indexing and classification. Defi- nitions are given throughout, as well as ex- amples. If one supplements this volume with the primary references and series such as the books on The Intellectual Or- ganization of Information, edited by Susan Artandi, one can grasp both the concepts, development, and the literature dealing with this subject.-Henry Voos, Rutgers, The State University.

Handling of Nuclear Information; Pro- ceedings of the Symposium. . .• Orga- nized by the International Atomic Energy Agency, and held in Vienna, 16-20 February 1970. Vienna: International Atomic Energy Agency, 1970. (ED 041 590, also available from UNIPUB, Inc., P.O. Box 433, New York, N.Y. 10016 $18.00). An international nuclear information system ( INIS) which applies computer techniques to the management of the world's nuclear literature is about to come into operation. This prompted the Interna- tional Atomic Energy Agency to hold a symposium to provide a comprehensive re- view of the facilities and services avail- able in the world for providing informa- tion to nuclear scientists and engineers. The symposium was attended by one hun- dred sixty-eight participants from thirty- one countries and twelve international or- ganizations. A total of fifty-seven papers was presented. The broad subjects covered by the nine sessions are: ( 1) national and institutional information centers; ( 2) spe- cialized information centers; ( 3) informa- tion services: manual, mechanized, and computerized; ( 4) information services: computerized ( contd.) ; ( 5) primary pub- lications; ( 6) secondary publications; (7) nuclear libraries and services; ( 8) index- ing methods and systems; and ( 9) world- wide cooperation in scientific information. English language abstracts are provided for all of the papers. The sessions chair- men, list of participants, and an author in- dex are also included.

San Die- go, Calif.: California University Library, 1970. 28p. (ED 042 474, MF-$0.25 HC-$1.50). Although there may be no such thing as a purely undergraduate book, there are services which are more appropriate for undergraduates than for other members of the academic community. These services make the undergraduate library unique. It is the responsibility of the undergradu- ate librarian to develop his specialty so that our undergraduate libraries offer substan- tial service programs. This working paper concentrates on the problem of undergrad- uate library goals and three related sub- ject areas: (I) service, (2) institutionaliza- tion, and ( 3) professional staff. Intangible goals, such as encouraging the lifelong habit of self-education through reading, are extremely important but they cannot guide group action, and therefore, must be sup- ported by sets of tangible (or operating) goals which do. Unless a structure of tan- gible goals is developed to bridge the gap between means and ends, the means grad- ually function as the tangible goals. Two basic capabilities which an undergraduate library should have are self-service, where the student or teacher uses the physical means of the library; and active-service, which is dependent on the library staff working with the student and faculty. A brief bibliography of related books and ar- ticles is appended. OTIS: An Evaluation of the Oklahoma Teletypewriter Interlibrary System. By Genevieve M. Casey. Oklahoma City, Okla.: Oklahoma Dept. of Libraries, 1969. 122p. (ED 042 480, MF-$0.50 HC- $6.20). A study of the Oklahoma Teletypewriter Interlibrary System (OTIS), made at the request of the Oklahoma Department of Li- braries, covers the period April 1968 through June 1969. It is based upon an analysis of records maintained at the Okla- homa Department of Libraries including: what material was requested by what li- brary, how the requests were verified and located, which library supplied the ma- terial and when; time span for :filling re- quests, arranged by transmission site and resource library; monthly reports of vol- ume of use from all transmission and re- source libraries; detailed expenditure rec- ords; and miscellaneous correspondence. A questionnaire sent to the four resource li- braries and ten transmission libraries was used to collect the original data. Field visits were made to nine transmission sites, all four resource libraries, and selected satellite libraries. The report is composed of seven chapters: ( 1 ) History and Pur- pose of OTIS; (2) Volume, Users, Ma- terials and Impact of OTIS; (3) Records and Procedures; ( 4) Closing the Time Gap; (5) Cost of OTIS; (6) Problems; and (7) Summary and Recommendations. User Requirements in Identifying Desired Works in a Large Library. By Ben-Ami Lipetz. New Haven , Conn.: Yale Uni- versity Library, 1970. 121p. (ED 042 479, MF-$0.50 HC-$6.15). Utilization of the card catalog in the main library (Sterling Memorial Library) of Yale University was studied over a peri- od of more than a year. Traffic How in the catalog was observed and used as the basis for scheduling interviews with a representa- tive sample of catalog users at the moment of catalog use. More than 2,000 interviews were completed. Data were collected on user objectives and starting clues. Follow- up studies were done on the matches among user clues, catalog card data, -and information available in the front matter of cataloged documents. Reasons for search failures were determined. In terms Abstracts I 159 of immediate intent, 73 percent of searches are document ("known item") searches and 16 percent are subject searches; in terms of underlying interest, 56 percent are document searches and 33 percent are subject searches. Remaining searches are 6 percent author searches (to find out what is on hand from a known author or institu- tion) and 5 percent bibliographic searches (to complete or verify a reference on the basis of catalog card data) . The impor- tance of secondary search clues in achiev- ing retrieval despite incomplete or inac- curate primary clues is discussed. The Undergraduate Library's Public Ser- vice Record: Reference Services. By Billy R. Wilkinson. San Diego, Calif.: California University Library, 1970. 31p. (ED 042 473, MF-$0.25 HC-$1.65). The separate undergraduate library was originated to provide students with the same quality of library services as were available in a good liberal arts college li- brary. This paper deals with how refer- ence librarians have used this opportunity to provide reference services for the under- graduate student. The major emphasis is on case studies of reference services in two of the leading undergraduate libraries in the country (The University of Michigan and Cornell University). In 1969, the ref- erence collection at Michigan was com- prised of 3,549 volumes and 25,077 ver- tical file items; Cornell had 3,294 volumes and a smaller number of vertical file ma- terials. Both undergraduate libraries offer reference assistance 76 hours per week. The number and types of questions asked at the reference desk of each library are presented in tables. Of 961 reference ques- tions asked at Michigan, in only nineteen instances did the librarian spend more than five minutes with the student. At Cor- nell, the librarian helped the student for over five minutes in 8 of 230 reference questions. The basic conclusion drawn from these studies is that the advantages of the undergraduate libraries have not been realized. Reference services are of low caliber. Too often the assistance given students is superficial and too brief. Some basic reasons for this situation are given.
