A P PR E N T IC E  SURVEYORS
Names of 115 librarians who would welcome 

opportunities to serve as apprentice surveyors 
have been collected by th e  ACRL Committee 
on Library Surveys. These are persons who 
wrote in response to an invitation from the 
Committee in th e  November 1968 issue of 
C írR L  News; they are located in 33 states and 
2 Canadian provinces, and their interests and 
special qualifications are as diverse as th e prob­
lems encountered in surveys of college and uni­
versity libraries.

Collection of th e names was the first step in 
an effort by the Committee to increase the 
num ber of well qualified surveyors by provid­
ing opportunities for experience. The Commit­
tee recommends th a t each survey team  include 
an apprentice member, and invites directors of 
surveys to draw  upon its roster. It will welcome 
opportunities to suggest names of prospective 
apprentices who seem to be particularly well 
prepared to contribute to any survey th a t is 
being planned. Requests for information should 
be addressed to Edw in E. Williams, Chairman, 
ACRL Committee on Library Surveys, W idener 
Library 183, H arvard University, Cambridge, 
Mass. 02138. ■■
