During her service, Davis witnessed the growth of the library from 33,000 volumes in 1957 to 128,000 volumes in 1977. As librarian, she assisted in the planning of the new Martha S. Grafton Library in 1968 and directed the move from the small library on the second and third floors of the Academic Building to the new structure.

Prior to moving to Atlanta in 1976, Jensen was acquisitions librarian for two years and then head librarian for three years at the Brookings Institution, a private, nonprofit cen­ ter for independent study in the social sciences. Jensen moved to Atlanta after her marriage to Alton P.

C a g l e was appointed head of the Indiana University Lilly Library by the I.U. Board of Trustees at their meeting June 17 on the Indianapolis campus. Cagle has been acting Lilly librarian since the death of the first Lilly librarian, David Randall, in July 1975. Previously, Cagle was librarian for English for I.U. libraries (1 9 6 2 - 6 7 ) and assistant Lilly librarian (1 9 6 7 -7 5 ). Before coming to I.U., he was assistant to the librarian at the Henry E. Huntington Library in San Marino, California. A native of Hollywood, California, Cagle was educated at the University of California at Los Angeles and Oxford University, England. He has served as consultant to the University of Texas Humanities Research Center and is on the advisory boards of the University of Pitts­ burgh Series in Bibliography and the Gale Re­ search Authors Bibliography Series. He is also a panel member of the National Endowment for the Humanities, Division of Research Grants. The Lilly Library is named for the distin­ guished family that founded the Indianapolis pharmaceutical firm. It was opened in June 1960 to house both the private library of J. K. Lilly, Jr., which had been presented to Indiana University in 1956, and the books and manu­ scripts from the university library’s Department of Special Collections, established in the 1940s by Robert A. Miller, then director of I.U. li­ braries. The Lilly Library is recognized as the major rare books and manuscripts repository between the Atlantic and Pacific coasts. With the sup­ port of Indiana University and the Lilly En­ dowment, it has quadrupled the number of books and doubled the number of manuscripts originally in its collections. Among its holdings are printed versions of the Bible from the Gutenberg New Testament to the most recent ecumenical text; more than 700 books printed before 1501; 66,000 items in the Latin American collections, formed large­ ly by Bernardo Mendel; United States historical collections relating to the American Revolution, the U.S. Constitution, the westward expansion, Lincoln materials, and documents of Indiana history, as well as extensive holdings in United States, British, and French literature, medical 2 5 4 science, technology, and music. While the Lilly Library is primarily a re­ search library, its collections and exhibits are open to the public. P a u l S n ez e k , assistant professor of library science, has been named director of the W heat­ on College Library, Wheaton, Illinois. He has served as assistant to the director and as librarian of collection development since his appointment to the Wheaton faculty in 1970. During the past year he was acting direc­ tor of the library. Before coming to Wheaton, Snezek was di­ rector of the library at Moody Bible Institute, Chicago. He also was acquisitions librarian at Dallas Theological Seminary where he received a M.Th. degree. Snezek is past chairman of the Christian L i­ brarians’ Fellowship and currently edits the fellowship’s Christian Librarian . A book review­ er for M oody M onthly, he is a member of Friends of Wheaton Public Library and past president of the Central DuPage Librarians Association. He is a member of the American and Illinois Library Associations, Chicago Area Theological Librarians Association, and Library Automation Research Council. An alumnus of North Texas University (B .A .), he also has degrees from Philadelphia College of Bible (B .S .) , Northern Illinois Uni­ versity (M .A .L .S .), and Chicago University (C .A .S.). R oland H e r b e r t M oody has been appointed the first dean of university libraries and learn­ ing resources at Northeastern University, Bos­ ton, Massachusetts. Moody has been at Northeastern Univer­ sity as director of university libraries for the past twenty-five years. He came to Northeastern from Harvard University Libraries where he was assistant librarian of the Lamont L i­ brary, the first un­ dergraduate library. R olan d M oody While there he assist­ ed the then librarian, Philip T. McNiff (director of the Boston Pub­ lic Library), and Keyes D. Metcalfe in select­ ing the collections for the new library and compiling the L a m o n t C atalogu e. While at Harvard in 1946-48, he was keeper of collec­ tions during which time he inventoried the collections for the first time in twenty years, a not-too-small task. His service at Harvard was interrupted by World War II, when he served as the Sergeant Major of the Third Battalion, Eighty-sixth Mountain Infantry, Tenth Moun­ tain Division in Italy and was awarded the Bronze Star. Before W W I I he was a member of the professional staff at Harvard, Middle- bury College, and Dartmouth College. While a graduate student at Columbia School of L i­ brary Science, he was an assistant at Queens College. When he came to Northeastern in 1953, the collection numbered 24,000 volumes, the bud­ get was $52,000, and the staff consisted of six professional librarians and twenty-five support staff. In June 1977 the collection numbered 855,562 volumes of monographs and micro­ forms, 92,000 documents, 12,125 technical re­ ports, and 15,120 vertical files, and the budget was $1,881,259. The staff numbered thirty-two professionals, fifty-two support staff, and ninety-six part-time staff. The libraries now include the main collection in the Robert Gray Dodge Library; the Gradu­ ate Research Library for Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Biology and Pharmacy (Allied Health-Forensic Science), and Nursing; the Graduate Research Library for Physics and Electrical Engineering; the Graduate Research Library for Mathematics and Psychology; and the Suburban Campus Library at Burlington, Massachusetts. In addition to these facilities, there are the special collections in Marine Sci­ ence, Management Development, Center for International Higher Education Documentation, and Aviation Technology. Learning Resources was nurtured as early as 1953 and today ranks as one of the most complete audio, video, pro­ grammed instruction, television learning cen­ ters. It is primarily housed in the Robert Gray Dodge Library and is integrated into the teach­ ing process at the university as an integral part of the library function in higher education to­ day. The Law School Library is a separate facility and supports the programs of the first Cooperative Education Law School. Since 1954 Bibliographic Instruction for the students and faculty has been a major innovation. Although the long-sought-after new sixteen- story Main Library Building was tabled in 1972, Moody was able to refurbish the existing building, modernizing it with air-conditioning, new lighting, carpeting, stacks, furniture, and equipment. Northeastern University is the largest Coop­ erative Education University at the undergrad­ uate and graduate levels. There are 50,297 students registered in the basic colleges, pro­ fessional schools (M .A., M.S., Ph.D., and doc­ toral programs), University College (evening), Lincoln College (evening engineering), State of the Art, Adult and Continuing Education. The university has five campuses and ten off 2 5 5 campus centers within the circumferential area around Boston. The university libraries have six internal automated systems; four computer terminals to OCLC for monographs, acquisition searching, and serials; a computer terminal searching Lockheed and SDC data files (thirty-eight); and is a member of the cooperating Boston Consortium and NELINET.
