College and Research Libraries 168 I College & Research Libraries • March 1973 exploits of cowboys, explorers, or tough de- tectives shocked middle class prejudices, most authors followed a story line in which virtue always triumphed over evil. They also tried to instill in their readers a strong sense of patriotism, and it was no ac- cident that A. J. Hoffman, a pulpwood pub- lisher, played a key role in the formation of the American Legion. The importance of this proletarian literature to the historian of ideas and social attitudes has long been rec- ognized, but their troublesome format and poor quality paper has discouraged librar- ians from collecting pulps in quantity. Only a few large research libraries have built ex- tensive collections for researchers. There is a real need for an objective his- tory of pulp publishing which will assess its contribution to our national culture. Unfor- tunately, this book fails to fill that need de- spite the author's obvious familiarity with this literature. His book is essentially a scis- sors and paste job, consisting of generous extracts from the stories, references to the works of other historians, and extensive quo- tations from the oral reminiscences of pulp fiction greats. It lacks an index, a bibliogra- phy, and bibliographic footnotes. It may prove to be a useful introduction to this lit- erature and its authors, however, for those librarians who are becoming involved in the acquisition of popular culture for the re- search library.-]ack A.

Data Collection and Description of HEA 11-B lnstitutes-1968-1969. Final Re- port. By Ernest R. DeProspo. Rutgers, The State University, New Brunswick, N.J., Graduate School of Library Service. January 1972. 68p. (ED 066 198, MF- $0.65, HC-$3.29). This study examines the first two years of the Higher Education Act (HEA) Title II-B Institute Program, 1968 and 1999. The primary objective is to describe the insti- tutes and provide a data base for the pro- gram. The . data base includes Division of Library Programs records, final evaluative reports, "plans of operation," and informa- tion on the institute participants and direc- tors collected by mailed questionnaires. Un- structured, in-depth interviews were held ' with Regional Program Officers, Division of Library Programs staff, and with a sample of institute directors. During the two-year period 156 institutes were funded, which some 4,668 participants attended. Most of the institutes were full-time residential pro- grams with 67 percent held during the sum- mer months. Roughly classified, some 39 percent of them were school library-orient- ed; the next highest, 10 percent, were oriented to public libraries. The directors reported the greatest impact ( 32 percent) was "stimulation and interaction between the regular staff and students and those of the institute." For the participants, attitude 170 I change, job satisfaction, job skills, and im- proved job performance were given the highest · ratings. Directors derived greatest satisfaction from interaction with partici- pants. The issues of greatest concern to di- rectors were negotiations with the Division, participant selection, ad hoc decision-mak- ing, and timing. Library Binding Manual. Rev. Ed. By S. K. Lakhanpal. Saskatchewan Universi- ty, Saskatoon. Murray Memorial Library. 1972. 50p. (ED 066 180, MF-$0.65, HC-$3.29). This procedural manual is designed to be used in bindery sections in public, univer- sity, and special libraries. It briefly discusses ' these general matters: administrative con- trol; selection of a binder; when and what to bind; conventional binding; routines; missing issues; schedule for shipments; tem- porary binding; rare books, maps and news- papers; advertisements, thickness of bound volumes; and supplements. The following topics are covered in the working manual: sources of material for binding, types of ma- terial received in the bindery section, col- lection of material for binding, preparation of material for the bindery, preparation of serials for binding, preparation for the re- ceipt of shipment from ,the binder, process- ing the bound material, rush binding, pay- ment of invoices, and miscellaneous items I I of concern. A standard lettering system, ma- terial on pamphlet binding and mending, and some binding samples are in the ap- pendixes. Regional Libraries and the Depository Li- brary Act of 1962. By LeRoy C. Schwarz- kopf. June 1972. 54p. (ED 066 177, .MF -$0.65, HC-$3.29). This report is a ten year review of the re- gio~al depository library system for federal government documents which was estab- lished by the Depository Library Act of l962. It describes the status of programs which regional libraries have undertaken to · comply with the require,nents of the . Act to "provide interlibrary loan, reference service, and assistance in the disposal of unwanted publications." Also described are the reten- tion policy of regional libraries for materials which they Jre authorized to discard as an exception to the Act, and the attitude of documents librarians on the desirqbility of providing federal support to regional de- pository libranies. The report traces the his- tory of earlier depository library legislation, and analyzes the ten year results of other major changes of the Act of 1962: increase in the number of congressional designations, Increase in the number of federal depository libraries, and distribution of non-GPO docu- ments through the depository library system. The report is based on response to a mail questionnaire, visits to selected regional de- positories, and the experience of the author who is a regional depository librarian. New Bases for Library and I~formation Services in Metropolttan Areas: Infor- ~ation Usage; Beliefs, Attitudes, and Exposure to the Mass Media. Final Re- port. By Bernard Goldstein and others. Rutgers, The State University, New Brunswick, N.J., Urban Studies Center. July 1972. 308p. (ED 066 172, MF- ~0.65, HC-$13.16). This is the report of an exploratory study aimed at testing one method of obtaining data on the information needs and sources of people in a medium-sized city, New Brunswick, New Jersey. An underlying goal Recent Publications I 171 was to explore what is often assumed, that needed information is gathered and used, and that there is an unmet need for infor- mation. Poverty was selected as the topic around which to focus the study. To find out what information was available to the community, the mass media were monitored on a sample basis. In addition, representa- tives of a sample of organizations were in- terviewed about the information concerning poverty disseminated by their organizations. This sample, and a random sample of household representatives were interviewed as to their exposure to information about pove1ty, their beliefs and attitudes, and their needs for information. An analysis was made of the nature of the fit between ex- posure on the one hand and attitudes and beliefs on the other. Of interest to libraries · concerned with disseminating information is the finding that different segments of the community are attuned to different types of media, and within the types, to different media agents. Effectiveness of Smithsonian Scie1tce In- formation Exchange Hampered by Lack of Complete, Current Research Infor- mation. By Comptroller General of the U.S. Washington, D.C. March 1972. 36p. (ED 066 164, MF-$0.65, HC-$3.29). The Smithsonian Science Information Ex- change is intended to be a clearinghouse for information on current research in physical, biological, and social sciences. The informa- tion is compiled to facilitate more effective planning and coordination of research and development programs sponsored by federal funds. This report informs the Congress of a situation in which failure on the part of federal agencies to report all pertinent in- formation to the exchange is hindering the effective coordination of federal research programs. It is recommended that the role of the exchange should be evaluated by the Office of Management and Budget, ~nd if it is decided to continue the exchange, fed- eral agencies should be required to submit pertinent, timely information about their research projects to the exchange.
