The latest volume in 
Faxon's Useful Reference Series 

indexes seven major French journals not 
previously indexed elsewhere: L'EXPRESS (()ve~seas 

edition), REALITES, LE NOUVEL OBSERVATEUR, 
PARIS-MATCH, LE FRANCAIS DANS LE MONDE, 
LE MONDE HEBDOMADAIRE, and SONDAGES. 

The FRENCH PERIODICAL INDEX provides 
access to the French point of view on current 
events in France and in the world. It is 

conveniently arranged in twenty-six 
categories based on those used in 
TIME and L'EXPRESS, including 
Business and Economy, World, Nation, 
Religion, Education, Literature, Environ-
ment, Medicine and Health, and Films. 

The FRENCH PERIODICAL INDEX is an 
invaluable research tool useful not only in 
courses in French language and Cultural 

Perspectives, but also in in-
dividualized instructional 

programs.

A Selective Annotated Bibliography on Li-
brary Networking. ERIC Clearinghouse 
on Information Resources, Stanford 
Univ., Calif., 1975. ED 115 219. 
In response to the increased need for li-

braries to automate their systems and to 
share their resources, this bibliography lists 
some 150 automated citations, most of 
which are drawn from the ERIC system, 
concentrating on library networks. 

Computerized Networks among Libraries 
and Universities: An Administrator's 
Overview. By Lewis B. Mayhew. ERIC 
Clearinghouse on Information Resources, 
Stanford Univ., Calif., 1975. ED 115 
220. . 

An overview of the present and possible 
future trends in networking, the use of com-
puter communications technology to facili-
tate the sharing of information, and com-
puter resources over great distances. The 
text reviews networks already being used 
by universities . to share instructional re-
sources and computing ability, and by li-
braries to facilitate systematic acquisition, 
serial control, and retrospective biblio-
graphic searches. Networking implies prob-
lems of uniformity of users, unused capac-
ity, fee sharing, and financial support; each 
problem is discussed in depth. With an 
awareness of possible budgetary and polit-
ica~ constraints, the present state of network 

technology is discussed, and predictions are 
made for the future. 

Library Performance Measures as Seen in 
the Descriptive Statistics Generated by 
a Computer Managed Circulation Sys-
tem. By Robert W. Burns, Jr. Libraries, 
Colorado State Univ., Fort Collins, 1975. 
ED 115 252. 
A study was conducted to inventory and 

describe in an academic library system the 
quantitative performance measures which 
originate as a result of the activities at an 
automated loan desk. Visits were made to 
twenty-four academic libraries whose ex-
perience in library automation ranged from 
the completely on-line system with user 
self-service and in-house computer to the 
wholly batch-oriented system. It was con-
cluded that, with the exception of a few 
outstanding examples, there is little sophis-
tication in the collection, manipulation, or 
use of the statistical management data now 
being produced by computer-automated 
circulation systems for the support of li-
brary planning/ operational functions. Li-
braries need to exploit the work already 
done on quantitative performance measures 
in both business and higher education. 

Five-Year Library Outreach Orientation 
Program. Final Report. By Hannelore B. 
Rader. Library, Eastern Michigan Univ., 
Ypsilanti, 1975. ED 115 265. 
With help from the Council on Library 

Resources and the National Endowment for 
the Humanities, a five~year Library Out-
reach Orientation Program was instituted 
at Eastern Michigan University. ·Through 
intensive contacts between the orientation 
librarian and faculty members in the hu-
manities . and social sciences, library ses-
sions were set up during academic class 
periods to help students learn about re-
sources and search strategies relevant to 
their current assignments. The program also 
included an elective library instruction 
course, production of a slide-tape for group 
.and individual use, contact with student 
groups, campus publicity, and the initia-
tion, in 1971, of annual' conferences on li-
brary orientation for academic libraries. 
Questionnaires administered to both faculty 
and students elicited enough positive re-

Bibliographic Access to the University of 
California Library Resources at Berkeley 
and Los Angeles. By Charles P. Bourne 
and others. Inst. of Library Research, 
Univ. of California, Berkeley, 1975. ED 
115 310. 
A study measured the extent of biblio-

graphic access available to off-campus users 
for the resources of the libraries of the U ni-
versity of California campuses at Berkeley 
(UCB) and at Los Angeles (UCLA). Ran-
dom samples of bibliographic items were 
drawn from card catalogs on both cam-
puses, with each sample representative of 
the resources of both the general library 
systems and most of the unaffiliated campus 
libraries. Major printed catalogs which con-
tained a significant number of records for 
materials on these campuses were checked 
to see if each sample item was identified 
with the campus from which it was drawn. 
A m~ximum of 67.2 percent of the UCB 
sample and 69.5 percent of the UCLA sam-
ple were found to be bibliographically ac-
cessible through available printed catalogs. 
The maximum possible net off -campus bib-
liographical and physical access to the total 
library resources, based on the compound 
factors of bibliographical access, interli-
brary loan policy, and physical availability 
in inventory, appears to be about 54.2 per-
cent for the UCB campus and, based on the 
factors of bibliographic access and interli-
brary loan policy, about 59.6 percent for 
the UCLA campus. 

Technical Processing Monographs and Seri-
als. By Miriam Drake. Libraries and Au-
dio-Visual Center, Purdue Univ., Lafay-
ette, Ind., 1975. ED 116 632. 
A report on technical processing of mon-

ographs and serials at Purdue University 
Libraries and Audio-Visual Center was 
compiled as part of preparation for the use 
of Ohio College Library Center services. 
The current organization and flow of work 
in the acquisitions and cataloging depart-
ments were described in narrative and 
flowchart form, and information was col-
lected on processing times for ordering, re-
ceiving, and. catalo~ing monographs. The

flowcharts and data derived from these ac-
tivities form the bulk of this document. 

Manual for Collection Developers. By Da-
vid L. Perkins and Carol Bedoian. Univ. 
Libraries, California State Univ., North-
ridge, 1975. ED 116 681. 
Intended to introduce the novice book 

selector to a wide range of duties and to 
serve as a source of instruction for library 
science students, this manual deals with the 
review, selection, and ordering of current, 
retrospective, and periodical collections. It 
examines how collection priorities are estab-
lished and discusses the documentation, 
budgeting, and technological procedures 
that are necessary to modify and maintain 
an adequate collection. Specific information 
is provided in the areas of budgeting; ac-
creditation; Department of Health, Educa-
tion, and Welfare reporting; collection re-
vision; and statistics. 

Survey of the Use of Slide! Tape Presenta-
tion for Orientation and Instruction Pur-
poses in Academic Libraries. By Larry 
Hardesty. 1976. ED 116 711. 
Eighty-eight academic libraries were sur-

veyed to determine what kinds of slide-tape 
library instruction materials are available 
for purchase or loan. The conclusions 
reached were: ( 1 ) there are less than a 
dozen libraries that have produced pre-
sentations of sufficient quality and adapt-

. ability to be widely used; and ( 2) the 
slide-tape format demands time, expertise, 
and resources that are often underestimat-
ed. For each responding library a summary 
of the purpose, course use, subject, pro-
ducer, financing, and evaluation of the 
slide-tape presentations are included.

for indexing purposes. Each entry contains 
the address of the institution, the person re· 
sponsible for the instructional program, 
demographic information, and specific char-
acteristics of the program. Indexing is done 
by grade levels, subjects covered, and in-
structional methods. 

A Demographic Study of Students Enrolled 
in Library-Based Courses at Black Hawk 
College, Moline, Illinois, June 1, 1975, 
to February 3, 1976. By Mary A. Stev-
ens. Black Hawk College, Moline, Ill., 
1976. ED 119 613. 
This study surveys student characteris-

tics of age, sex, use of veterans' benefits, 
employment and enrollment status, and 
residence for students enrolled in Black 
Hawk College's cooperative program with 
the River Bend Library System to offer in-
dividualized courses, primarily on videocas-
sette, in area public libraries. It concludes 
that the program is serving the students for 
whom it was designed-the part-time stu-
dent over age twenty-five who has full-
time employment or full-time home respon-
sibilities. The introductory section provides 
a detailed description of the cooperative 
program. 

The Role of Mechanized Services in the 
Provision of Information with Special 
Reference to the University Environ-
ment. By Kathleen M. Heim. 1975. ED 
119 725. 
The use, history, and role of machine-

readable data base technology is discussed. 
First, the development of data base tech-

. 

nology is traced from its beginnings as a 
special resource for science and technology 
to its broader use in universities, with de-
scriptions of some specific services. Next, 
the current status of mechanized informa-
tion services in academic settings is con-
sidered, along with the organization of such 
centers and the role of data bases in infor-
mation dissemination. Differences between 
university and industrial information cen-
ters are discussed, and the operations of six 
university information services funded by 
the National Science Foundation are de-
scribed. Finally, there is a review of the lit-
erature concerning the reference or infor-
mation service librarian's role in the inter-
face between user and data base. Special 
emphasis is placed on query formulation, 
question negotiation, and educating the 
user. A list of acronyms and a bibliography 
are included. 

Access to N.Y.S. Publications: Summary 
of a Questionnaire Survey. By Arthur 
Ebbin. 1975. ED 119 739. 
Librarians at seventeen New York pub-

lic and academic libraries designated as de-
positories for New York State publications 
were surveyed to obtain information on 
such depository practices as acquisition, 
shelf arrangement, bibliographical access, 
and processing time. Information was 
sought on estimated document use and val-
ue, and various aspects of the state deposi-
tory system were evaluated. Results are 
summarized in thirteen tables. The survey 
questionnaire is included.
