College and Research Libraries 72 I College & Research Libraries • January 1981 cooperative). Being at the conference might have been more exciting, but the editors of these proceedings have provided a smooth, almost seamless volume that gives us the opportunity to read selectively and ponder present and future networking. The book's format and production are admirable and its appearance timely. Finally, rereading this volume in 1990, when no doubt a confer- ence on networking will again be held, will be very instructive.-Fay Zipkowitz , Rhode Island Department of State Library Ser- vices, Providence .

Title III, Inter-library Cooperation, of the Library Services and Construction Act (LSCA III) was enacted in 1966 to provide categorical grants to state li- brary agencies to plan, develop, and oper- ate cooperative library networks. Taken together, these programs are major chan- nels of federal support to libraries. It is an ambitious and difficult undertak- ing indeed to evaluate the general effective- ness and impact of programs supporting the diversity of projects funded under HEA II-B and LSCA III. Patrick , Casey, and Novalis have made an impressive attempt at this task. They have amassed a large amount of data and analyzed it in terms of a change model that "describes the stages and processes necessary for new , improved , and/or expanded library and information services and illustrates an optimal rela- tionship among the tasks , agencies, and sources of funds currently used in the changing of library and information ser- vices." Due to the use of this model, the study is interesting from the point of view of evaluation methodology as well as for the data it presents on the HEA 11-B and LSCA III programs. Volume I reports the findings and recom- mendations related to th e two programs. The findings are summarized and inter- preted in a manner that is somewhat repeti- tive but that is suitable for the general read- er. Volume II presents twe nty-two selected case studies of projects funded under the two programs. The titles of two case stud- ies , " Development of a Computerized Re- gional Library System" (OCLC) and "Li- brary School and Education Program with- out Wall," serve to illustrate the diversity of data from which the authors had to develop coherent generalizations. Obviously, a study of this scope demands the use of evaluation models , and the success of the study owes much to the model used. The detailed findings contained in the two volumes are difficult to encapsulate. In general, however, the HEA 11-B and LSCA III were found to have had a favorable im- pact on library services, although one that is muted considerably by a number of de- ficiencies. These deficiencies are addressed by recommendations in four areas: 1) the need to define and focus the role of the two programs; 2) the need to provide linkages between the different stages of the change process and the variety of agencies, indi- viduals, and organizations that are involved in this process; 3) the need to substantially upgrade federal and state management of the programs and to redefine USOE man- agement responsibilities; and 4) the need for USOE to reconsider. the role it plays in the development process. This work should be of interest to librar- ians interested in the general issues related to the management of federally funded pro- grams, as well as those interested specifical- ly in the administration and impact of HEA 11-B and LSCA Ill. If proper attention is given to these findings, it could well lead to needed improvements in the effectiveness of federal funds directed to the support of the nation's libraries.-Joe A.

Airy, Md.: Lomond Books, 1979. 552p. $22.50 clothbound; $15.50 microfiche. LC 79- 65635. ISBN 0-912338-17-2 (clothbound); 0-912338-18-0 (microfiche). This is a revised second editon of Tech- nology and Copyright: Annotated Bibliogra- phy and Source Materials, originally pre- pared in 1972 by the distinguished bibliog- rapher, technologist, and academician, the late George P. Bush. Robert H. Dreyfuss accepted the invitation to update and revise the first edition and worked with Bush in the early stages of the work. Reflecting the narrow scope of the work, i.e., the impact of technology on copyright and visa versa, the volume, nevertheless, consists of 80 percent new references and resource docu- ments and is described by the publishers as a "one-stop encyclopedia ... to understand the issues and answer questions about inter- relationships of copyright and the informa- tion technologies of reprography, comput- ers, communications, networks, micro- graphics ,and other elements of information transfer. Three elements of the format contribute to the volume's usefulness to librarians, lawyers, publishers, information and repro- graphic industries, educators, and research- Recent Publications I 73 ers. Part I consists of an annotated bibliog- raphy of more than 350 references grouped under thirteen major topics: technology; computer systems; reprography; video com- munications; microforms; CONTU; fair use; education; libraries, networks, and informa- tion systems; permissions and payments; legislation/legal; international; and basic ref- erences. The references were selected to be representative of the diverse views that have been expressed on the provisions of the new law, before and after the effective date of January 1, 1978. Part II contains nineteen selected re- prints of law review and other journal arti- cles, research reports, essays, and docu- ments that provide an overview of the ma- jor technology-related issues and concerns confronting copyright owners and the users of their works. That the 1976 Copyright Law is a complex piece of legislation is not in dispute. The selections include in part II, by such noted authorities as former Register of Copyrights Barbara Ringer, author John Hersey, librarians Madeline Henderson, Bernard Fry, Herbert White, Maurice Line, and Richard DeGennaro, attorney Stephen Freid, law professor and educator James M. Treece, cable TV authority Susan C. Greene, and King- Research, Inc., may not resolve the complexities, but they do help to explain why the complexities exist. The third element that makes this a use- ful reference tool is the name and subject indexes, as well as an index of legal cases referred to or explicated in the text. In addition to its value in reference work, the volume has selections in part II whose titles pique the curiosity and can be read as stand-alones: "Will Betamax Be Busted?" by Steven Brill, "Copyright and Compilations in the Computerized Era: Old Wine in New Bottles," by Jeffrey Squires, and "Williams and Wilkins v. the United States." The editors assume a general knowledge of the new copyright law and an awareness of some of the major issues. They have, therefore, blessedly refrained from padding the volume with the full texts of the law, accompanying guidelines on classroom copying, music, and interlibrary arrange- ments, and House, Senate, and conference committee reports, which are easily avail- able elsewhere.
