College and Research Libraries 238 I College & Research Libraries • May 1971 today. As their files and publics expand, as budgets grow, and as the demands for service increase, the solution of adding more people is only possible within certain operational and supervisory limits. There are such basic constraints as available floor and desk space, the supervisor's span of control, and even the budget itself. All li- brary resources are finite. This places cer- tain iron-clad limits on the amount of ex- pansion libraries can expect to undertake in the future. But the existence of any such ceiling has so far proved unacceptable both to the library profession and to the various publics it serves. This leaves the profession with only one remaining solution -to bring data processing and computers into the library environment.-Robert W.

Conference on Inter-Library Cooperation and Exchange, San Juan, Puerto Rico, April 30-May 2, 1969. Virgin Islands Department of Conservation and Cul- tural Affairs, St. Thomas: Division of Li- braries and Museums, 1969. 251p. (ED 042 459, MF-$1.00 HC-$12.65). The conference had as its main objec- tive the assembling of library administra- tors and librarians to consider all aspects relating to the implementation of a library cooperative plan for the interchange of publications, photoduplication services, and bibliographic information . Papers that were presented were "Automation and Biblio- graphic Control" by Enid M. Baa and Jo- seph J. Breen; "The Role of Archives in Regional Cooperation" by M. J. Chandler; "Copyright Laws" by Abe Goldman; "Prob- lems of Photocopying" by Paulita C. Mal- donado de De la Torre; and "Centre d'Etudes Regionales Antilles-Guyane" by J. P. J ardel. A great portion of this report ( 147 pages) deals with library reports from each country. These reports cover such areas as copyright and depository laws; lists of serials published in the coun- try; archival information (condition and availability of materials, organization, vol- ume, etc.) ; problems the library faces in serving the community; and problems the library may face if it participates in a plan for interlibrary cooperation. 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. A pre- liminary analysis of the questionnaire is included. Planning and Urban Affairs Library Man- ual. Edited by Mary L. Knobbe and Janice W. Lessel. Monticello, Ill.: Coun- cil of Planning Librarians, 1970. 85p. 240/ College & Research Libraries • May 1971 (ED 041 602, $0.50, also available from Council of Planning Librarians Exchange Bibliographies, P.O. Box 229, Monticello, Ill. 61856 $10.00). Written especially for persons without a library degree who are operating a small urban study or planning agency library on a part-time basis. Subjects covered are: li- brary function and staff function , duties and training; physical layout and equip- ment of library; establishing and maintain- ing the library; library administration; clas- sifying and cataloging books; budgets and finance; and reference procedures. Sample filing headings, sample pictorial catalog cards, Council of Planning Librarians, and exchange bibliographies are included as appendices. Automatic Indexing: A State-of-the-Art Report. By Mary Elizabeth Stevens. Na- tional Bureau of Standards, 1970. 298p. (ED 041 610, $1.25, also available from the Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office, Washing- ton, D.C. 20402 GPO C13.44:91, $2.25). A survey of automatic indexing systems and experiments has been conducted by the Research Information Center and Ad- visory Service on Information Processing, Information Technology Division, Institute for Applied Technology, National Bureau of Standards. Consideration is first given to indexes compiled by or with the aid of machines, including citation indexes. Au- tomatic derivative indexing is exemplified by key-word-in-context (KWIC) and oth- er word-in-context techniques. Advantages, disadvantages, and possibilities for modi- fication and improvement are discussed. Experiments in automatic assignment in- dexing are summarized. Related research efforts in such areas as automatic classifica- tion and categorization, computer use of thesauri, statistical association techniques, and linguistic data processing are de- scribed. A major question is that of evalua- tion, particularly in view of evidence of human interindexer inconsistency. It is con- cluded that indexes based on words ex- tracted from text are practical for many purposes today, and that automatic assign- ment indexing and classification experi- ments show promise for future progress. Planning the Undergraduate Library. By Warren B. Kuhn. San Diego, Calif.: Cal- ifornia University Library, 1970. 35p. (ED 042 477, MF-$0.25 HC-$1.85) . Planning any undergraduate library rep- resents an unusual, complex, and multi- problemmed process. This working paper, composed of selected quotes or comments from actual planners, attempts to offer an overview of the more pressing concerns. The appended "decision checklist" used on one campus outlines topics important to the thinking of any undergraduate library planner including location, collections, ad- ministrative organization, housing the col- lections, circulation, reserves for classes , reference service, provisions for study, spe- cial provision for faculty, staff areas, mis- cellaneous, and other aspects and/ or over- all comment. A bibliography is provided. Library Executive Development Program; Narrative Evaluation Report on the In- stitute for Advanced Study for Librari- ans Under the Higher Education Act, Title II-B, April 14 to April 25, 1969. By Irving Lieberman. Seattle, Wash.: Washington Univ. , School of Librarian- ship , 1969. 70p. (ED 042 457, MF- $0.50). The activities of a two-week library ex- ecutive development program held at the University of Washington are outlined. This program was organized to help executives of all types of libraries understand current issues and concepts in business and public administration so that they will be better able to meet the needs and demands on libraries as modern information centers. Some specific objectives of the Institute program are to provide for the participant: ( 1) knowledge of the functions and prin- ciples of modern upper-level manage- ment; (2) an experimental learning proc- ess that will emphasize the application of pertinent theory in such areas as work analysis and simplification, budgeting, or- ganizing, decision-making or problem-solv- ing, human relations, and leadership ; ( 3) an opportunity to examine common problems with other library executives and to discuss them with members of the fac- ulty; and ( 4) an environment in which he may broaden his own views and insights, develop friendships with other partici- pants, and increase his confidence in him- self. Faculty Use of University Library Refer- ence Facilities for Citation and Data Information. By Elaine C. Clever. Phila- delphia, Pa.: Temple University, Col- lege of Education, 1970. lOp. (ED 041 613, MF-$0.25 HC-$0.60). A user study to determine the ratio of citation-bound queries to data-bound que- ries originated by university faculty and processed through reference department personnel or by independent use of refer- ence materials in the university library revealed that a majority (75 percent) of the queries are citation-bound. Important implications are suggested for the training of university reference librarians and the selection and development of reference tools. The skillful use of the newer tools of citation indexes, journal indexes, and other sources of bibliographic information is nec- essary for the provision of citation-bound services. Survey of Scientific-Technical Tape Ser- vices. By Kenneth D. Carrol, ed. Ameri- can Institute of Physics, New York; American Society for Information Sci- ence, Washington, D.C.: September 1970. 65p. (Available from CFSTI as ED 044 165, MF-$0.50 HC-$3.35). The results of a survey of commercially available tape services which can provide libraries and information centers with data bases of scientific and technical literature are reported. During the past few years, there has been an increasing number of tape services entering the information re- sources market. Each of these services makes available to the information center, on a continuing basis, computer-readable data which can be utilized in as many diverse services as the programs and cli- entele of the center require. This prelimi- nary survey provides a directory of current tape services, listing the general charac- teristics of the data base, the most fre- quently used access points, the frequency of the tape issues, and the number of Abstracts/ 241 items reported on an average tape issue for each service. The data presented were obtained from the generators of the tapes unless otherwise noted. More complete in- formation can be obtained from the source noted for any tape listed. An alphabetical index of the tape services is included. Systems Analysis of a University Library; Final Report on a Research Project. By Michael K. Buckland and others. Lan- caster University, The Library, England, 1970. lOOp. University of Lancaster Li- brary Occasional Paper 4. (Available from The Librarian, University of Lan- caster Library, Bailrigg, Lancaster, En- gland, ED 044 153, $2.00). The objectives of this study are to en- sure that the resources at the disposal of the librarian are deployed in a manner which will effectively contribute to the purposes of the university. User behavior is explored in an attempt to solve the difficulties that arise in library planning and management, such as: ( 1) the relation- ship between length of loan period and "idle time," ( 2) the availability of popu- lar books, and ( 3) the relationship be- tween library usage and academic achieve· ment. Fundamentally related to all this in a university library is the whole area of students' problem-solving behavior. It is clear that the serious study of policy-mak- ing and the allocation of resources in a university library must range widely over problems of human behavior and educa- tional research. Seen in this wider con- text, it may be that the most useful con- tribution of this study is the way which, with further research, it may prove possi- ble to quantitatively relate the day-to-day decisions of the librarian to the academic achievement of the university as a whole. Design Study for Long Range Research Program. By Bernard M. Fry and others. Indiana University, Bloomington, Re- search Center for Library and Informa- tion Science, 1969. 117 p. (A vail able from CFSTI as ED 044 122 MF- $0.50 HC-$5.95). ' A plan is presented for a long-range re- search program, the objective of which will be to identify technical information 242 / College & Research Libraries • May 1971 problems and policies relating to federal libraries and information services, to determine priorities among ·those issues re- quiring attention, and to develop research designs for each project recommended. The program is presented in the following three phases: ( 1) a study of the state-of- the-art; ( 2) the identification of problems requiring research and distinguishing be- tween those which should be in the prov- ince of the Department of Defense (DOD) from those which should have multiple sponsorship and those which should be sponsored outside DOD; and ( 3) an implementation plan consisting of a series of research designs for each proj- ect recommended which will state the ob- jectives, the methodology to be employed, the scope of the investigation, the nature of the research, research staff required, the time schedule, and the estimated cost. Educating the Library User; Proceedings of the Fourth Triennial Meeting of the International Association of Techno- logical University Libraries, Laugh- borough, April 1-3, 1970. By C. M. Lin- coln, ed. International Association of Technological University Libraries, Loughborough, England, 1970. 138p. (Available from The Library, Laugh- borough University of Technology, Laugh- borough, Leicestershire, England, ED 044 126, $4.80).

The Periodical Bank Through 1969 and the First Fiscal Year Annual Report. Revised Edition. By Julia A. Woods. Associated Colleges of the Midwest, Chi- cago , 1970. 55p. (Available from CFSTI as ED 044 127, MF-$0.25 HC- $2.85). Twelve colleges incorporated under the Associated Colleges of the Midwest ( ACM) , began a library cooperative pro- gram to estab1ish a Periodical Bank. The prime purpose of the Bank is to provide college students and faculty access to a larger number of periodicals than could be provided b y their individual libraries. Under the proposed plan, each ACM li- brary was to sell paper backfiles up to a total of $50,000 which would be as- sitrned to the Service Library and Periodi- cal Bank. $440.000 of the total $500,000 would b~ used to purchase commercially available periodical backfiles in micro- forms. Th~ libraries . on the average, have doubled their periodical holdings through the Bank, at a fraction of the cost each would usually incur for such acquisitions.

Case Study of the California Experience in Library Collection Building. By Mel- vin J. Voigt. University of California, San Diego: University Library, 1969. 31p.; paper prepared for the Institute on Acquisitions Procedures in Academic Libraries ... , August 25-September 5, 1969. (Available from CFSTI as ED 043 345, MF-$0.25 HC-$1.65). A variety of examples of collection de- velopment in a university system is pro- Abstracts / 243 vided by this case study. The University of California's nine campuses provide a wide variety of library acquisition expe- rience. A retrospective view of their de- velopment reflects the changing pace and pattern of library collection building over the years. The University of California, San Diego ( UCSD), development is in- teresting because the collection had im- mediate pressures of advanced graduate programs and UCSD had to use a variety of devices to meet specialized needs as they arose, while at the same time at- tempting to develop well-rounded basic collections for both undergraduate and graduate students. Development of each of the nine university libraries is traced using the following headings: ( 1) intro- duction, ( 2) the large campuses, ( 3) specialized institutional collections, ( 4) towards research-variations in patterns, ( 5) the problem of distribution and uniqueness, and ( 6) the UCSD experi- ence. Development of a Machine Form Union Catalog for the New England Library Information Network (NELINET). Fi- nal Report. By New England Board of Higher Education, Wellesley, Massa- chusetts, 1970. 220p. (Available from CFSTI as ED 043 367, MF-$1.00 HC-$11.10). Based on a literature survey of union cataloging and New England libraries, it was determined that: ( 1) New England's collective union catalog needs and prob- lems had not been specified, especially re- garding the possibilities of machine ap- plication; ( 2) crucial data and analvsis needed for such specification were 'un- available; and ( 3) the absence of this data prevented evaluations of relative merits of differing union catalog approach- es and of different kinds of machine form catalogs. Three general union cataloging configurations were examined: ( 1) the single regional union catalog; ( 2) the combination of six state union catalogs; and ( 3) the random combination of state and/ or interinstitutional union catalogs. Part II of this project was devoted to the development of the essential capabilities for a machine form union catalog of books ------:-------- - - - - 244/ College & Research Libraries • May 1971 ----- -~ I I and a printed union catalog of books for the New England Library Information Network ( NELINET) . This was accom- plished by: ( 1) a study of machine form union catalog needs; ( 2) file design for present and projected needs; ( 3) devel- opment of techniques and programs for collecting, storing, and updating library holdings data; and ( 4) development of programs to produce a printed union cata- log using the Library of Congress card number as the identifying element. A Plan for a Wisconsin Library and In- formation Network: Knowledge Net- work of Wisconsin. By the Wisconsin State Department of Public Instruction, Madison, Wisconsin: Division for Li- brary Services, 1970. 109p. (Available from CFSTI as ED 043 358, MF-$0,50. HC-$5.55). A strong library and information network is important to Wisconsin because of the uneven geographical distribution of its population, the dispersion of its university resource centers, and the heavy concen- tration of book and other information re- sources in major cities. This report ex- plores the potential for furthering inter- library cooperation in Wisconsin by in- vestigating various ways of linking into a network the state's library systems with other information centers. The plan has four main objectives: ( 1) to promote in- creased sharing of resources by libraries; ( 2) to use modern technology in an ap- propriate and economical manner to fa- cilitate the distribution of information; ( 3) to equalize the availability of library ma- terials; and ( 4) to create a comprehensive base of library and information materials with a minimum of duplication and proc- essing. The network proposed is con- structed of groups of libraries and informa- tion centers operating as a consortium without limitation on the nature of their local jurisdictions. The report is divided into three main sections: ( 1) network phi- losophy and concept, ( 2) the library en- vironment in Wisconsin, and ( 3) develop- ment and program plan for a Wisconsin library and information network. California State Library: Processing Cen- ter Design and Specifications, Vol. V: Cost Analysis. Supplemental Volume. By Thomas L. Hargrove and Keith H. Stirling. University of California, Berke- ley: Institute of Library Research, 1970. 94p. (Available from CFSTI as ED 043 356, MF-$0.50 HC-$4.80). Presentation of this cost analysis as a supplemental volume separate from the main report allows the major activities in implementing the processing Center De- sign to be correlated with costs as of a par- ticular date and according to varying rates of production. In considering the total budget, three main areas are distinguished: ( 1) systems development, ( 2) conversion and maintenance, and ( 3) output ser- vices. Separate costs are stated for the dif- ferent operational phases of monographs and serials, although both types· of data are considered as sharing management and development costs. The analysis first covers the purpose, scope, allocation, and descriptive basis of the three main areas for a six-month preparatory period to es- tablish the Center and three years' full production. Appendices include a reprint of the preliminary organizational design (with minor revisions) and supporting de- tails for the three main areas. Volumes I- IV of this report are available as ED num- bers 036 305 through 036 308. I
