College and Research Libraries 394 I College & Research Libraries • july 1979 reliance on consultants versus developers versus making one's own independent judgment. This report will not resolve many issues. Even Mr. Boss' attempt to define an idealized circulation system is subject to ar- gument. Who can now say to what extent a circulation system should be a finding list or a partial surrogate for the card catalog in addition to keeping track of what is being circulated? No one knows. The answer is a function of cost, availability of equipment, perhaps even taste. Nevertheless, Mr. Boss' work will benefit those who are now con- fronted with an immediate decision on whether or not to buy a circulation system. It won ' t simplify the decision, but it can shorten and guide investigation.-Richard ]. Talbot, University of Massachusetts, Amherst.

Temple University Libraries in the Mid- Seventies: A Status Report. By Joseph Z . Nitecki. Univ. Libraries, Temple Univ. , Philadelphia, Penn. 1977. 5lp. ED 163 893. MF -$0.83; HC-$3.50. Present central library operations are discussed in terms of emerging needs and possible direction for future development. Library objectives in- clude acquiring and organizing relevant records of knowledge and providing satisfactory information service standards. Issues relating to objectives in- clude the library's involvement in planning de- veloping educational programs, support of pro- grams offered, and a well-selected professional staff, strong in subjects relevant to library cover- age and involved in continuing education. Library organization and structure are concerned with the centralization of library services within the uni- versity, and the functional arrangement of activi- ties within the library. At present, Temple's li- brary structure is a combination of centralized and decentralized services . Issues involving per- sonnel are consultative management, professional self-governance, unionization, and affirmative ac- tion policies. The library's budget recommen- dations are based on a balanced budget principle, and library department heads' participation. Col- lection development is based on stimulus-re- sponse buying and a system approach. Gradual computerization is taking place with a fully auto- mated circulation system , OCLC, microforms , and semiautomated interlibrary loan. Future is- sues include cooperation and networking within the profession ; cooperation and coordination within the university; and structural reorganiza- tion, development of long-range personnel pro- grams, continuing automation, and additional li- brary space. Application of a Library Model: A Case Study of the Illinois Library and Informa- tion Network. Report No.8. By William B. Rouse and Sandra H. Rouse. Coordi- nated Science Lab. , Illinois U niv . , U r- bana. 1978. l23p. ED 163 931. MF- $0 .83; HC-$6.01. This case study describes the application of an analytical library network model to data collected during April 1977. Models are developed for de- scribing the intralibrary processing activities en- countered at each of the resource libraries in the study, and alternative routing policies for refer- ring requests among resource libraries are analyzed. A recommended routing policy is sug- gested that predicts an improvement in network probability of satisfaction and a slight decrease in writing time for roughly the same reimbursement cost experienced in April 1977. Understanding of the intralibrary processing activities is also useful for analyzing the impact of alternative technologies on network probability of satisfac- tion, processing time , and cost per request . Seven alternative technologies with various com- binations of location and availability information are identified, and performance predictions for Il- linois are estimated . Data tables are supplied; re- quests, tabulated by subject class and publication date, and recommended request routes for each system in the network are appended . The Role of the University's Library Re- sources in Teaching and Learning in the Department of Government. By__ Joy Guyatt. Teritary Education Inst., Queens- land Univ ., Brisbane, Australia. 1976. 77p. ED 163 942. MF-$0.83; HC- $4.67. A comprehensive report of a six-month study that investigated the way the Department of Government at the University of Queensland used the university's library resources is pre- sented. Groups participating in the study (stu- dents, library staff, and faculty) are identified, and the methods of data collection are explained. Over forty data tables provide the objective findings. Conclusions drawn from the study in- clude ideas for establishing teaching objectives for courses, developing the accessibility and availability of appropriate library materials, and increasing communication between library and academic staff. Contingency Theory and Its Implications for the Structure of an Academic Library. By Robert F. Moran. 1978. 22p. ED 163 949. MF-$0.83; HC-$1.67. The theoretical basis for an organizational structure determined by external as well as inter- nal factors-the contingency model-is presented through a consideration of two studies . The cur- rent research and speculation that have up- dated and augmented this theory are also in- cluded , and a contingency approach to library or- ganization is justified. The changing nature of the academic library is described , followed by a dis- cussion of specific changes in the structure of an academic library that seem appropriate in the light of the external environment. Identifying the Future Roles of the Library at the Community College: A Delphi Study. By Yong Sup Sim . 1977. 209p. ED 163 945. MF-$0.83 ; HC-$11.37. Divided into five parts, this report describes a research project that used the Delphi method to identify the future roles of the library at Mercer County Community College through 1986 and to set priorities for those roles . The introductory section includes definitions of the problem, the terms used , the subject, and the organization of the study, as well as a review of the literature . A discussion of procedures and methodology focuses on the participants-faculty/staff, stud e nts , librarians from other institutions, and a jury of experts-and the three questionnaires used to gather data. Analysis of the data from all three rounds is described, and the ten roles considered to be the most significant are listed . The sum- mary and recommendations include a priority- Recent Publications I 395 ranked list of seventy-nine future library roles. Graphs and tables are used to display data throughout the report, and a bibliography is in- cluded. A list of the participants , copies of the three questionnaires, and the primary role state- ments generated by the first questionnaire are appended.
