Report on the Development of Six Point-Of- Use Audio-Visual Library Instructional Pro- grams. By Myoung Chung and others. New Brunswick, N.J.: Rutgers State Univ. Li- braries, 1980. 30p. ED 202 466. MF- $0.83; PC-$3.32 Six point-of-use audiovisual programs were de- veloped by librarians as part of a library instruction program in Alexander Library at Rutgers Univer- sity to illustrate the basic skills needed in using the library's print collections in the social sciences 'and humanities. Topics for the 16mm filmstrip car- tridges were (1) Tour of Alexander Library; (2) Using the Periodical Indexes; (3) Using Psychologi- cal Abstracts; ( 4) How to Use the Card Catalog; (5) Government Publications in Alexander Library; and (6) Using Social Sciences Citation Index. The development process is described, including the production of software-selection of topics, scripts, photography, taping, and laboratory con- version of 35mm slides/tapes to filmstrip car- tridges; selection and modification of equipment; and user evaluation of the programs . Users over the summer of 1980 indicated that, while they were pleased with the programs , an unexpectedly high number of them would prefer printed instructions, and they would be interested in programs on non- book materials , including microforms . User evalu- ation data are reported, and a copy of the question- naire is appended. Instructing the Academic Library User: Histor- ical Background and Utilization of Audiovi- sual Presentations.

Ed 202 489. MF- $0.82; PC-$9.32. Intended to provide recommendations that will permit Wisconsin libraries to make more effective use of current automated systems, select the most appropriate new systems, and provide a basis for statewide library automation planning, this report describes the current and future use of automation technology in that state's libraries. Its four major sections discuss the following: (1) highlights of the report and the report audience; (2) the existing au- tomation environment in Wisconsin, online cata- logs, and a statewide database; (3) current major commercial and not-for-profit automated services and planned extensions to these services, including circulation services, cataloging systems, acquisi- tions systems, serials systems, and search services, and (4) a five-year plan defining the specific actions, projects, committees, and task teams needed to carry out the report recommendations.
