College and Research Libraries 416 College & Research Libraries are discussed in at least four different places in the text, are an example of this. Unfortunately, the index, which might have been expected to bring them to- gether, contains only one page reference to them. The author has partially compen- sated for this omission by including them in a table showing sources of presidential texts on p. 200-01. More complete bibliographical informa- tion in the captions for the illustrations, possibly even the inclusion of SuDocs numbers, where applicable, would have been a help to readers who wish to consult the items shown. While Morehead's style is usually clear, he is sometimes carried away. As an ex- ample, I cite this sentence (p. 31), which could surely have been expressed more tersely: "The words 'diminished re- September 1984 sources,' that shibboleth of the current decade, find their quintessential para- digm in the appropriations for the deposi- tory library enterprise." There are also times when descriptions offer little eluci- dation. If the reader does not already know what an ''engrossed bill'' is, I defy him to figure it out from the information given on p. 137, which simply states the color of paper it is printed on. It is true that the persevering reader will find a defini- tion of such a bill on p. 146, but he must get to it without help from the index. In spite of these defects, the work does present a masterful compilation of infor- mation on current U.S. federal govern- ment documents and presents what could easily be an overwhelming mass of detail in a clear and logical fashion. -Gloria West- fall, Indiana University Library.

It is based on records of the relationships between three principals-John R. Commons and RichardT. Ely (members of the University of Wisconsin faculty) and Reuben Gold Thwaites (superintendent of the society)-and their associates and subordinates at the two in- stitutions. From a rich mixture of personal am- bitions, institutional and personal interactions, variant perceptions of the functions of libraries, and other factors, the library of the society was developed during the period 1904 to 1918 into- among other things-a major center for the study of the trade union movement in the United States. The development of the library resulted from the working of a complex collect- ing effort by an agency-the American Bureau of Industrial Research-connected administra- tively to neither the society nor the university. Afterward, the society continued the collecting program begun by the bureau, but in a substan- tial degree of dissociation from the conditions that led to the library's earlier development.

Library, Stockholm (Sweden). TRITA-LIB-6019. 1982. 29p. ED 232 691. MF-$0.83;PC- $3.32. Recently considerable attention has been given in the online information retrieval litera- ture to techniques for producing a weighted , output of documents in response to a request. One approach tries to maintain the form of and relationships between requests as they appear in current Boolean log-based systems, while ex- tending it to permit a weighted output. It is based-on the mathematics of fuzzy-set theory, which assigns each potential member of a set a degree of membership between zero and one with intermediate values denoting partial membership in the set. Another approach is based on the mathematics of probability. It rep- resents requests by sets of terms, and, by means of feedback information, assigns a weight of each term. Documents are ordered by the sum of weights of the terms in the request ~ t match those in the documents. This paper p vides an overview of both approaches and t eir advantages and disadvantages.lt also out- . es a basic theory of information retrieval, dis- cusses the characteristics and problems of using Boolean logic in information retrieval, and lists areas for continuing research.

This publication presents information on fed- eral and state programs that fund library and other book-related projects. Federal programs described provide funding for: (1) library ser- vices (Title I, Library Services and Construction Act/LSCA); (2) instructional materials and school library resources (Title IV -B, Elementary and Secondary Education Act/ESEA); (3) inex- pensive book distribution for reading motiva- tion (Section 231, ESEA); ( 4) assistance to medi- cal libraries (Title ill-J, Public Health Service Act); (5) the National Agricultural Library; (6) college library resources (Title II-A, Higher Ed- ucation Act); and (7) strengthening research li- brary resources (Title 11-C, Higher Education Act). Fact sheets for each state present names of state education and library officials, school en- rollment figures, data on textbook sales, and other related information. Allocation charts for various programs and a glossary are also pro- vided. Appendixes include a list of federal in- formation centers, a description of the Center for the Book in the Library of Congress (LC), 1979 statistics for the sixty largest academic li- braries, a rank order listing of public libraries with a million or more volumes, excerpts from related federal legislation, descriptions of ERIC clearinghouses and services, a guide to Office of Education programs, and a list of officers and chapters of the Professional Booksellers of America (PBA). The ARL Microform Project. Association of College and Research Libraries, Washington, D.C. 1983. 83p. ED 232 699. MF-$0.83;PC-$6.32. In 1980, a study was conducted for the Asso- ciation of Research Libraries (ARL) by Informa- tion Systems Consultants (ISCI), which led to the establishment of the ARL Microform Proj- ect. Based on a three-part survey, to which a to- tal of 848 academic, government, public, and special libraries responded, the ISCI study cov- ered (1) general microform cataloging policy; (2) microform set holdings and bibliographic control, focusing particularly on cataloging of titles within microform sets; and (3) priorities for producing machine-readable cataloging for September 1984 titles within sets. The ARL Microform Project was established in 1981 to assist North Ameri- can libraries, microform publishers, biblio- graphic cooperatives, and the Library of Con- gress (LC) in improving bibliographic access to titles in microform sets. The program's six main objectives focus on the areas of library catalog- ing, set processing, universal availability of rec- ords, publisher cataloging, preservation, and standards. The primary tool for accomplishing these objectives is an online database contain- ing information (collected in the ISCI survey) on more than eight hundred microform sets. This publication presents an overview of the ARL Microform Project; summaries of the three-part ISCI study; and two lists of micro- form set titles in alphabetical and numerical or- der (using four-digit set project codes).
