CHECKLIST 7 5 — contains some 1.3 million full bibliographic entries for more than 2 million U.S. Government publications issued from 1789 through 1975. — is arranged on microfilm according to the Su Docs Classification System but is also accessible by title and by the names of government author-organizations via its printed index volumes. Accordingly, it is a primary source for the bibliographic data needed in identifying and ordering copies of out-of-print U.S. Government publications. — includes, in one place, all the bibliographic data contained in the 7909 Checklist (1789-1909), the Doc­ uments Catalogues (1893-1940) and the Monthly Cata­ logs (1895-1975), plus entries for thousands of pub­ lications never listed in any of those publications. —expands and updates Checklist 70 with the addition of more than 100,000 new entries accumulated over the past 5’/2 years. UPDATING CHECKLIST 70 During the years since we first began filming Check­ list 7 0 , the U.S. Government has published more than 100,000 documents, many on such vital topics as the Viet Nam War, Watergate, recession, detente, fuel shortages, agripower, terrorism, environmental pro­ blems, consumer protection, foreign policy realignment, and of course, investigations of everything from in­ telligence operations to aerosol sprays. The cards des- scribing these new additions were interfiled into the Shelflists in Su Docs Class order, and re-filming oper­ ations began when the file was current as of Jan­ uary 1, 1976. Those new entries which involved changes in government author-organizations were picked up and listed in supplementary sections added to the five original indexes. THE PROBLEM LONG-OUT-OF-PRIN DOCUMENTS HA Now that the world’s largest retrospective collection o GPO to the National Archives— and re-shelved in libraries, for the first time, can order facsimiles or mid U.S. Government documents published since 178^ CHECKLIST ’75 AND ITS NEW INDEXES WER AND ORDER THE The collection, of course, is GPO’s Public Documents Library, long recognized as the most complete U.S. Government doc­ uments collection because of its statutory retention require­ ments. During 1972, all pre-1971 materials were moved to the Printed Archives Branch of the National Archives and Records Service, whose staff has just recently completed re-shelving them in Superintendent-of-Documents Classification order (the same arrangement used in the Shelflist card files). Mean­ while, the materials for 1971 and 1972 have recently been received and are now in the re-shelving process. The complete card catalogs and the later documents are still kept at GPO. As GPO had kept the Public Document collection closed during its decades of custodianship, the sudden availability of facsimiles and microfilm copies under the usual National Archives sales terms must be considered an important new step toward the wider and more effective reference use of U.S. Government documents. 1 S b E OF ACQUIRING U.S. GOVERNMENT BEEN SOLVED! .S. Government documents has been moved from perintendent of Documents Classification order— film copies of some 2 million previously out-of-print ESIGNED TO HELP YOU IDENTIFY, SELECT, E DOCUMENTS 11 also means that the identification of documents by Su Docs Class Numbers has become more important than ever—and this of course, is where the Checklist 75 indexes will play their most important part. Libraries having their own substantial documents collection arranged in Su Docs Class order, or those which find it con­ venient to order or borrow copies of documents from their local Regional Depository Libraries will, of course, also find the Checklist Indexes invaluable in retrieving their documents without having to order copies from National Archives. The important point, however, is that their existing systems are now backed up by the potential availability of copies of even the oldest and rarest documents through the Public Docu­ ments Library. Orders and inquiries to National Archives should be addressed to C. F. W. Coker, Chief, Public Archives Branch, National Archives & Records Service, Washington, D C. 20408. ’ 5 U u o D 5 CUMULATIVE TITLE INDEX TO U.S. GOVERNMENT PUBLICATIONS 1789-1975 THE LARGEST AND MOST COMPREHENSIVE TITLE INDEX TO U.S. GOVERNMENT DOCU­ MENTS EVER PRODUCED IN ANY FORMAT. Here is the long awaited single-alphabet listing o f alt titles contained in the shelf lists of the Public Documents Library—the "Million Title" index to CHECKLIST OF UNITED STATES DOCUMENTS, 1789-1975. Now, for the first time, librarians with documents col­ lections of every size and type will be able to identify the Superintendent of Documents Classification Numbers for more than one million titles published by the U.S. Government over the past 186 years-and, also for the first time, be able to use these Su Docs Class Numbers to order facsimile or microfilm copies of specific docu­ ments from a centralized source. The massive Cumulative Title Index can be used either by itself to order documents when the title, date, and Su Docs Numbers are sufficient identification; or in con­ junction with Checklist 75, when it is desirable to learn complete bibliographic data on a publication prior to ordering copies (e.g. to find out the numbers of pages which will have to be copied @ 15¢ apiece, or to isolate specific numbers or parts of series). In addition to the title, Su Docs Class Number, and the date of the information in the document, each entry also gives the microfilm reel number on which the full des­ cription can be found in Checklist 75. in sixteen hardcover volumes (8’/2"x11 ” ) compiled by Daniel Lester and Sandra Faull E Edelman, Hendrik, and Tatum, G.

Since its beginning, 232 Canadian newspapers have been filmed span­ ning the years from 1752 to 1928. Also 27 pe­ riodicals, journals, and studies have been microfilmed. In early 1973, there was some indication that provincial studies were about to assume a place of importance in Canadian scholarship. For this reason, a microfilm program entitled Early Provincial Government Documents on Micro­ film was begun. The first phase of the provincial document filming has now been completed and covers the period from .1867 to 1900. The microfilm in­ cludes legislative assembly and council journals, which recorded the business of each session; sessional papers (departmental reports); stat­ utes and revised statutes (laws); and debates and proceedings. Phase 2 (1901-1920) is now in progress. The list of provincial government documents is available from the Microfilm Program of the Canadian Library Association, 151 Sparks St., Ottawa, Ontario. Prices quoted are for com­ plete provincial sets. However, individual reels may be purchased for $30 each. • The Continuing Library Education Network and Exchange (CLENE) has pub­ lished a final report of its activities during the year of its funding by the U.S. Office of Edu­ cation. From June 15, 1975, to June 30, 1976, CLENE operated under a planning grant from the Office of Libraries and Learning Resources, Title II-B fund from the Higher Education Act. The year of planning included four major ob­ jectives: creation of a permanent administrative structure for CLENE; establishment of a dues and fees structure; development of operational mechanisms required for the implementation of CLENE; identification of funding sources and preparation of proposals. The final report summarizes what CLENE has achieved in light of these four objectives. Some of the major achievements are: 1. A computer-based information network that gives information, in print or on-line, about continuing education opportunities —their content, location, time, objectives, costs, leadership. 2. A directory of CLENE members that helps to find the leaders with the exper­ tise, experience, and education to support continuing education programs. 3. Two CLENE Assemblies, with published proceedings, which have sought to devel­ op innovative solutions to national con­ cerns related to continuing education. 4. The CLENExchange newsletter to keep readers current on what’s happening in continuing education circles. 5. A continuing, multiprofessional, annotated bibliography that gives users a quick way of pinpointing resources to assist them in solving their problems. 6. A network of persons concerned about continuing education from a wide array of organizations and institutions with whom to share ideas and creative ap­ proaches to continuing education issues. 7. Concept papers on planning and teaching continuing education courses and on eval­ uating programs. Included in the report are an evaluation of the significant aspects of the program as pre­ sented by the Panel of Review and Evaluation; a program review and planning structure for CLENE as prepared by the 1975/1976 ad hoc board of directors for the newly elected 1976/1977 board of directors; conclusions and recommendations by the project staff. An ap­ pendix includes selected items of particular rel­ evance generated during the project year. The final report is available from the CLENE Office, Box 1228, 620 Michigan Ave., N.E., Washington, D.C. 20064 at a cost of $2 for members and $3 for nonmembers. • Selected Sound Recordings of American, British, and European Literature in English is a 140-page publication with 1,365 main entries of cassette tapes and disc records from 53 sources.

The price of the complete collection is $950, from inven­ tory in New York. • WILCO (Western Interstate Library Co­ ordinating Organization) is making available for general distribution and comment the fifth draft of Library Networking in the West: The Next Three Tears. The document, originally prepared by WILCO staff, has been extensive­ ly reviewed and revised by representatives from bibliographic utilities, service centers, state library agencies, academic and public libraries, and others in the library and information sci­ ence profession. The document discusses goals for networking in the West (in the context of national library network planning) that can guide resource­ sharing activities during the next three years, including a strategy, tasks, and responsibilities for each. The document is not a task list for WILCO or any single organization. It is a guide to which western librarians can contribute and commit as they all move forward in making cooperation more effective in the West and the country. Over the next several months, work can be started on each task. For a free copy, contact: Mary Haenselman, Project Secretary, WILCO, P.O. Drawer P, Boulder, CO 80302, (303 ) 492-7317.
