College and Research Libraries 274 College & Research Libraries described in Stereotypes and Status: Librari- ans in the United States by Pauline Wilson (Westport, Conn.: Greenwood, 1982), which compares librarians' interests fa- vorably with those of practitioners in ''art, law/politics, music, public speaking, and May1987 writing'' and other ''verbally oriented oc- cupations.'' This is not such bad company to be in; perhaps the career changers would like to reconsider.-Laura Fuderer, Memorial Library, University of Notre Dame, Indiana.

A privately sponsored and privately funded committee was organized to identify and pro- pose means by which governments at all levels might rid themselves of needless and wasteful records while ensuring the preservation of that fraction of the documents deserving to be kept. The committee concentrated on problems and solutions within the federal government, but the principles underlying the conclusions and recommendations can be adopted by individual states and localities. This report of the commit- tee includes an introduction and sections on: "Development of Records Management"; "Records Management 1950-1984"; "Com- puter Generated Records"; "Special Charac- teristics of Electronic Records"; "Information Resource Management''; and ''Importance of Leadership.'' Five major conclusions and three detailed recommendations complete the re- port. A draft of a proposed executive order is at- tached as well as a list of participants and addi- tional interviewees. Appendixes include overviews of the government records programs and conservation efforts, a technology assess- ment report of the National Archives and Rec- ords Service, and additional information, in- cluding significant related legislation and regulations; selected surveys and studies; ele- ments of a comprehensive government records program; principles for state archival and rec- ords management agencies; National Archives and Records Service appraisal guidelines; and examples of federal government records sched- ules.

In mid-1985, researchers contacted librarians at twenty-three United States and Canadian universities to determine what end-user activi- ties were taking place with the involvement and cooperation of the library. Although most of those contacted were members of the Associa- tion of Research Libraries (ARL), a few non- ARL libraries known to have active end-user programs were also called. This Systems and Procedures Exchange Center (SPEC) kit con- tains information on the SPEC telephone sur- vey (questions asked and libraries contacted); one grant proposal (University of illinois); five program descriptions (Cornell University, Memphis State University, Pennsylvania State University, Texas A&M University, and Uni- versity of Pennsylvania); four examples of pub- licity (same libraries as above except for Penn- sylvania State); nine sets of instructional aids and references tools (same libraries as program descriptions-two items from Pennsylvania State-plus Drexel University, Johns Hopkins University, and University of Ottawa); six eval- uations/questionnaires (Cornell, Drexel, Mem- phis State, Pennsylvania State, Texas A&M Universities, and University of Ottawa); and a select bibliography. A brief introductory sum- Imagine where we'd be if Mr. Edison had failed to experiment with a simple piece of thread, under a simple piece of glass. But he persevered. Today's infonnation manager is a marvel of perseverance. And when you light the darkness with infonnation day after day, you expect support from people who pursue innovation as stubbornly as Mr. Edison. You can count on EBSCO to persevere when it comes to bright ideas in subscription service. Just as important, our staff is dedicated to helpiilg you put those ideas to work in your own serials department-not tomorrow or the next day-but now, when you need them the most So, whenever you need subscri~ tion services with an emphasis on service, call EBSCO.

The Indivisible World. Libraries and the Myth of Cultural Exchange. By Daniel J. Boorstin. The Center for the Book View- point Series, no. 15. Washington, D.C.: Library of Congress, 1985. 14p. ED 269 036., MF-$0.75; PC-$1.80. These remarks suggest that, although the world's cultures-and the culture of books- may be defined by languages, by traditions, and by historical movements, they are not con- fined by national boundaries: all boundaries in the world of culture and ideas are artificial, and all are doomed to be dissolved. Since all culture belongs to all people, books and ideas create a boundless world, and librarians of the world May 1987 are servants of an indivisible world. To keep that world indivisible is the most urgent and most difficult task for librarians. Political, eco- nomic, or military chauvinists who would like to make libraries narrowly national, and ideo- logues who try to sanitize the books that are published, are the enemies and saboteurs of the work of the world's librarians. The Library of Congress (LC) is attempting to serve an indivis- ible world of culture and books and ideas: only about one-quarter of the library's books are in English, while three-quarters are in the other languages of the world. In collecting and pre- serving other cultural objects-photographs, graphic art, motion pictures, music, and maps, LC tries to display the full spectrum of the cul- tures of mankind. Despite the cost and time- consuming nature of this effort, LC does not al- low itself to be confined by the cultures of Europe and the West.
