ACRL News Issue (B) of College & Research Libraries 2 7 3 People P R O F I L E S S t u a h t A. S t i f f l e r has been appointed to the position of director of library services at Cornell College in Mount Vernon, Iowa. Stiffler began his library career at the Enoch Pratt Free Library in Baltimore in 1958. Two years later he moved to Hiram College, where he was assistant and associate librarian. From 1968 to 1973 he was library director at Findlay (O hio) College. He moved to the library directorship at Behrend College, Pennsylvania State Uni­ versity (E r ie ) , in 1973. Stiffler received his bachelor of arts degree at Hiram College where he later returned and was instrumental in developing long-range collection planning and participated in a build­ ing program and then moved on to Findlay College to develop the collection, reorganize services, and introduce the Ohio College L i­ brary Center ( O C L C ) system. He sees the Cornell library as basically strong but requiring development o f both collections and services to improve its position among other prestigious colleges of the Associated Col­ leges of the Midwest Consortium. The college has a strong tradition of experimental, self­ directed, off-campus, and independent study and offers an innovative challenge to the orga­ nization of supporting library services. Closer cooperative programs with nearby Coe and other Iowa colleges also is an open possibility. Stiffler was chairperson, Nominating Com­ mittee for the Trustees Election, OCLC (1 9 7 2 ) ; was a board member of the Ohio L i­ brary Association, College and University Round Table ( 1 9 6 9 - 7 1 ) ; and has been chair­ person of the Northwest Interlibrary Coopera­ tive of Pennsylvania since 1975.

Gaines has several publications to his credit and holds a lifetime membership in ALA. Commenting on his appointment, Gaines said, “The position here is loaded with chal­ lenges— to make the most of the 1939 fortress of a building and its 1972 addition, to build a professional staff, to retool the library’s one- hour credit bibliography courses (offered since 1 9 6 1 ), and to establish appropriate services. There are exciting opportunities for interlibrary cooperation here, since Lexington is exception­ ally well endowed with academic and research libraries. Our campus adjoins Washington and L ee University, which has an extremely fine undergraduate collection and a law library. Al­ so, the George C. Marshall Research Library, privately supported and administered, is locat­ ed on our campus.” F r e d P e t e r s o n , associate chairman of the university’s Department of Library and Infor­ mation Science, has been appointed acting di­ rector of libraries at the Catholic University of America for one year.
