ACRL News Issue (B) of College & Research Libraries 189 information for important segments of the in­ stitutions for which all branch campuses had not reported. An analytic report with summary tables for all responding colleges and university libraries will be published at a later date. ■ ■ News From the Field A C Q U I S I T I O N S • The library at the University of Cali­ fornia at Riverside has announced that after a year of negotiation, the Peter Claas Music Li­ brary has been purchased. This collection of some 1,300 scores is especially rich in first and early editions of nineteenth century dramatic music. The core of the collection was developed by Willy Salomon, an eminent musicologist. He was a professor at the Frankfurt Conservatory and also conducted at the Frankfurt Opera House. Many of the scores of Wagner’s operas in the collection contain Salomon’s meticulous annotations which have been, and will continue to be useful to orchestras and singers. During the rise of Nazi power, Salomon con­ cealed his library in Graz, Austria and fled to Paris with his sister, who was engaged to Peter Claas. Claas fled to England and after taking English nationality served in the British army during the Second World War. When the Ger­ mans captured Paris, both Salomon and his sis­ ter were taken by the Gestapo. He was sent to the Buchenwald concentration camp, and she to Auschwitz. By some means which have never been disclosed, Claas organized Salomon’s es­ cape from Buchenwald and brought him to En­ gland. Tragically, Salomon’s sister was mur­ dered in Auschwitz. When Salomon died in London after a long and very painful illness, he bequeathed his li­ brary to his good friend, Peter Claas. Claas, an internationally known dealer in and collector of works of art and antique furniture, is also a collector of music scores. Over the years he added to the collection, bringing it to its pres­ ent size. When Claas retired, he decided to part with the library, a decision which has greatly benefited the University of California at River­ side. • Wichita State University library has acquired the Robert W. Baughman collection of Kansas maps. Baughman’s interest in Kansas maps developed from a collection of early west­ ern maps that had accumulated in his family. For over forty years, he traveled extensively, visiting libraries and bookshops in search of maps to add to his collection. However, his collecting interests were not limited to Kansas maps. He was also an avid stamp collector and he served as philatelic advisor to President John F. Kennedy. The Baughman collection is the finest private collection of Kansas maps ever assembled. It contains goldfield, Indian reserve, territorial, statehood, township, county, and railroad maps, which cover the territorial period through the 1920s, when county name changes and bound­ ary lines were finally settled. Baughman loved and cherished his map col­ lection and sought to share his interest with his fellow Kansans. He did this through his book Kansas in Maps, published by the Kansas State Historical Society in 1961, as a contribution to the Kansas centennial. Many of the maps in the Baughman collection are reproduced in his book. A W A R D S A N D G IF T S • Ms. Margaret Alexander Edwards is the recipient of the Journal of Library History annual award for the most outstanding article published during the year. Dean Harold Gold­ stein, editor, Journal of Library History, made the announcement and presented Ms. Edwards with the $100 award in recognition of her ar­ ticle “I Once Did See Joe Wheeler Plain.” It appeared in the October 1971 issue of the Journal. Ms. Edwards wrote the article because she “wished to pay tribute to a great librarian who changed the direction of my life; one who, instead of operating as a technician, was a true professional who brought thousands of people into the library not only for information but for enrichment.” Ms. Edwards was coordinator of young adult services at Enoch Pratt Free Library; since her retirement, she has traveled extensively through­ out the country as a visiting teacher, workshop leader, and lecturer. Through the years, she has contributed to numerous professional magazines and is the author of The Fair Garden and the Swarm of Beasts: The Young Adult and the Li­ brary. She is currently tending her farm in Jop­ pa, Maryland, and working on a book “that is not about librarians.” • The 1971 George F reedley Memorial Award was presented to James M.

Sponsored by the United States Office of Education and the American Library Association Interlibrary Communications and Information Networks presents … ■ 31 outstanding papers on available and theoretical methods of extending library service capabilities. ■ Definitive summary of plenary sessions, working group reports, and recommendations. Interlibrary Communications and Information Networks confronts five major problems and proposes solutions … 1. Is there a true need for a national information network? 2. What are the functions and services best suited to a national network? 3. How rapidly can new technology be applied and used in network operations? 4. How will national networks affect libraries and information centers — socially, legally, and administratively? 5. What can be learned about a proposed national network from existing specialized networks. Here is a work of lasting value to all librarians and information scientists concerned with the future of information services agencies. cloth ISBN 0-8389-3123-3 $ 1 5 .0 0 American Library Association 50 East Huron Street • Chicago, Illinois 60611 191 sota, for his book, Meyerhold’s Theatre of the Grotesque: the Post-Revolutionary Productions, 1920-1932 (University of Miami Press), on May 1 at The Lambs, New York City.

F E L L O W S H IP S / S C H O L A R S H IP S • Thirty United States and Canadian librari­ ans have been awarded fellowships or intern­ ships by the Council on L ibrary Resources. The purpose of the Fellowship Program, now in its fourth year, is to provide working librari­ ans with an opportunity to broaden their ex­ perience by pursuing approved projects of their own devising while on a continuous leave of ab­ sence of at least three months from their regu­ lar assignments. Work toward an advanced de­ gree in librarianship is considered outside the scope of the program. The awards, which this year total some $79,000, do not cover salaries but are for such items as travel, per diem, supplies and equip­ ment, and other costs incident to the project. After a review by a screening committee of eight eminent librarians—Edwin Castagna of the Enoch Pratt Free Library, Mary Corning of the National Library of Medicine, Richard De Gennaro of the University of Pennsylvania, Paul Howard, former Executive Secretary of the Federal Library Committee, Father James Kortendick of the Catholic University of Ameri­ ca, John Lorenz of the Library of Congress, A. P. Marshall of Eastern Michigan University, Stephen McCarthy of the Association of Re­ search Libraries—the final selections were made by the Council’s Fellowship Committee. Dr. Louis B. Wright, Vice Chairman of the CLR Board of Directors and Director Emeritus of the Folger Shakespeare Library, is Chair­ man of the Committee. Other members are William S. Dix, Librarian of Princeton Univer­ sity; Robert Vosper, Librarian of the University of California at Los Angeles; and—ex officio— Fred C. Cole, President, Foster E. Mohrhardt, Senior Program Officer, and Edith M. Lesser, Secretary and Treasurer of the Council.

Aug. 13-19: A one week Executive Develop­ ment Program will be conducted at Miami Uni­ versity this summer for library administrators. The program will be presented during the week of August 13 through August 19, 1972 by Mi­ ami’s School of Business Administration. The basic purpose of this program is to give library administrators and executives a sound foundation in basic management principles. To accomplish this a staff of nationally-known in­ structors and directors of management develop­ ment programs has been assembled to present the program. Several have participated in the previous twelve programs for librarians present­ ed by the school in the last four years for the U.S. Office of Education, The State Library of Ohio, and on an independent basis; hence, they are well aware of the management problems confronting library administrators and can con­ verse specifically about them. The program is designed for administrators, directors, and other key executives in all types of libraries—in fact, any librarians who make or influence manage­ ment decisions, including library consultants and professors of library science. The total fee for the entire Executive Devel­ opment Program is $225. This fee covers all program expenses—tuition, instructional fees, cost of all materials, room, and board. It is sug­ gested that the library employing the applicant pay the registration fee. Application forms can be obtained from: Dr. Robert H. Myers, Director, Executive Develop­ ment Program, School of Business Administra­ tion, Miami University, Oxford, OH 45056. Applications should be postmarked no later than July 15, 1972. Applicants will be notified of the action taken upon their application no later than July 24, 1972. Sept. 11-22: The National Archives and Rec­ ords Service (General Services Administration) has announced that its Twenty-Seventh Insti­ tute: Introduction to th e Administration of Modern Archives, has been scheduled for Sep­ tember 11-22, 1972. The Institute, offered in cooperation with and accredited by the Depart­ ment of History of The American University, and cosponsored by th e Library of Congress and the Maryland Hall of Records, provides an introduction to archives administration for per­ sons holding or preparing for positions of re­ sponsibility in the fields of archives, manu­ scripts, records management, and the adminis­ tration of special collections. Featuring a facul­ ty of outstanding specialists, the Institute pre­ sents theory, principles, and techniques of ar­ chives administration for modern documentary material of both public and private origin. Be­ cause of over subscription of the Institute dur­ ing each of the past several years, two institutes were scheduled for the current year. The Twen­ ty-Sixth Institute was held March 6-17, 1972, 196 and the Twenty-Seventh has been scheduled for September 11-22, 1972. The Institute is di­ rected by Dr. Frank B.

M IS C E L L A N Y • The ACRL Ad Hoc Committee on Bib­ liographic Instruction, formed at ALA in Dallas, is working with the ERIC Clearing­ house for Information and Library Science to provide academic librarians with information on current programs of bibliographic instruction ( instruction in use of libraries, and the informa­ tion they contain). In order to serve this clear­ inghouse function, we must have reports on current programs. The committee has prepared guidelines for the report which are enclosed. Since the clearinghouse will not be effective unless all academic librarians report their in­ structional programs, any librarian who has anything to report is urged to request a form and return it as soon as possible. The reports will form the basis for a series of state-of-the- art type reviews of various kinds of instruction­ al programs. The content of these reviews will depend upon the reports we receive. The com­ mittee is also working on mechanisms for up­ dating these state-of-the-art reviews. I t is our hope that a continual process of reporting and reviewing through the ERIC indexes and re­ trieval system will provide the academic librari­ an with current information on instructional programs. The committee hopes to have a preliminary report on how the clearinghouse is performing at the Audiovisual Clinic sponsored by the ALA Instruction in the Use of Libraries Committee at ALA 1972, which is scheduled for Wednes­ day evening and Thursday morning of conven­ tion week. 197 We urge you to submit a report regardless of how small or insignificant you feel your pro­ gram may be. Only by sharing both our suc­ cesses and failures will we make progress in our attem pt to improve library instruction pro­ grams. Forms for reporting on programs may be ob­ tained from Thomas Kirk, Box E-72, Earlham College, Richmond, IN 47374. • Dedication ceremonies for the $400,000 expansion addition to the Beaumont Memori­ al Library on the Harding College campus were held April 17. Guest speaker for the dedi­ cation was Ms. Bessie Moore, a nationally known lecturer on libraries and economic edu­ cation. H er appointment by President Nixon to the National Commission on Libraries and In­ formation Science was confirmed by the Senate in 1971. Others taking part in the ceremony were President Clifton L. Ganus, Jr., and li­ brarian Shirley Birdsall. The new addition is named in honor of the J. E. and L. E. Mabee Foundation of Tulsa, Oklahoma. The Mabee Foundation provided a $400,000 grant which was used to construct the facility. The addition was completed in August 1971. The addition contains 16,906 square feet and increased the size of the library by 80 per­ cent. T he new area provides shelving for an ad­ ditional 58,000 volumes and has increased seat­ ing capacity to 600 and total shelving capacity to 170,000 volumes. Included in the new struc­ ture are microfilm reading and storage rooms, one of the state’s most fully equipped educa­ tional media centers, an unbound periodical room, oral history and archives room, music listening rooms, three conference rooms, and additional office space for library staff. • “Neither a borrower, nor a lender be” said Shakespeare but the advice in that oft-quoted phrase has been ignored as directors of the thir­ teen state university libraries in Illinois seek to make library resources more readily available to their graduate students and faculty members. Effective May 1, a new library borrower’s pol­ icy was implemented according to an an­ nouncement by the Council of Directors of State University L ibraries of Illinois. A faculty member or graduate student at any of the participating state universities may now check out material at another state university library upon presentation of a borrower’s card and a valid university identification card. For­ merly, materials could be used by a graduate student or faculty member from another state university only on the library premises. The key element in the policy is th at the bor­ rower’s library assumes responsibility for the safe return of the borrowed material. In cases where material is lost or damaged, the user’s library would reimburse the lending library and then bill the user for the appropriate amount. • Robert B. Palmer, Barnard College li­ brarian, has been awarded a Fulbright grant to direct the library of the American Studies Research Centre in Hyderabad, India for 1972- 73. The centre serves Indian scholars working in American studies. Palmer will be on leave of absence from Barnard for the coming academic year. He has served as librarian of the college since 1967. A 1960 graduate of Kenyon College, Palmer holds a Master of Arts in English from Middle­ bury College and a Master of Library Science from Simmons College. Before coming to Bar­ nard he served as the assistant to the director of the Columbia University libraries and as Act­ ing Columbia College librarian.

The mem­ bers of the conference are indicated in the at­ tached preamble. The standards are the result of two years of discussion and meetings. Preamble The Rare Book Libraries’ Conference on Fac­ similes convened for the first time at the Folger Library on October 25, 1969, in response to concern created by the rapid growth of reprint 198 publishing. Since then, the conference has m et at the Beinecke Library in New Haven, the Newberry Library in Chicago, and the Clark Library in Los Angeles. Editorial and technical standards have re­ ceived much attention during these meetings. Following is a list of editorial standards for microfilm and hard copy facsimiles approved for circulation by the conference at a meeting at th e Lincoln Center Branch of the New York Public Library on November 20, 1971. A re­ port on technical standards is planned for later this year. The libraries endorsing the attached list of editorial standards are: American Anti­ quarian Society; Bancroft Library, University of Cahfornia, Berkeley; Beinecke Library, Yale University; Folger Shakespeare Library; Henry E. H untington Library; Houghton Library, Harvard University; Lilly Library, Indiana Uni­ versity; Newberry Library; New York Public Library; University Research Library, UCLA; William L. Clements Library, University of Michigan. Recommendations for Control of Editorial Quality 1. The reprint shah be plainly identified as a reproduction of a particular original copy at the library of origin. 2. Unless otherwise indicated, the original copy thus identified shall be the only source of the reproduction. Alterations or interpolations from other copies shall be plainly labeled as such at the points of occurrence and in the col­ lation. 3. The reprint shall include the whole of the original copy, from the first page on which any printing whatever appears through the last page on which any printing appears. Original interior blanks shall be reproduced as such, and original initial or terminal blanks shall be exact­ ly indicated in the collation ( see below ). 4. The reprint shall contain a collation of the particular original copy reproduced, including any idiosyncrasies of th e original copy repro­ duced, and the size of the total page of the original from which the copy is made. 5. If the work reproduced has been de­ scribed in a printed bibliography or catalog, reference to the entry shall follow the collation, or, if described in more than one place, to that most generally accessible (e.g., STC, Wing, Goff, e tc .). 6. If more than one issue or variant of the edition reproduced has been bibliographically identified, the identity of the original th at is re­ produced shall be indicated after the collation, with reference to the bibliographical source (e.g., “issue A, X. Y. Smith’s bibliography of Jones”; “Rothschild catalog, 1257” ). 7. In addition to a full and exact facsimile of the title page of the original, the publisher shall include a prior title page or a colophon, or for microfilm a target card, which must carry ( in addition to any text he may w ish) the name of the publisher of the facsimile and th e place and year of publication of the facsimile. 8. If any retouching has been done, this should be stated, and the nature of the retouch­ ing specifically recorded. 9. It is recommended that book-form fac­ similes should be the same size as the original, bu t that if there has been any reduction, the re­ duction-ratio be stated. • The first library service which automati­ cally prints summaries of research reported in physics journals has been started at the Univer­ sity of I llinois at Urbana-Champaign. The service is a computer operated retrieval system which quickly provides information on 15,000 articles in physics journals. Each month, the system will receive indexed information on up to 2,500 articles from 70 journals recorded on magnetic tape by the American Institute of Physics. A year’s output of tapes will require storage of about 30 million bits of information. Users type commands on a keyboard termi­ nal connected to the computer by telephone. W ithin one fourth of a second, the computer searches its memory discs and sends retrieved information to the terminal for printout. The system can list title, author, date of pu b ­ lication, and name of journal for articles on any one index topic or combination of two topics. It can print abstracts of up to 10 articles at a time, a capability which allows researchers to skim published research quickly. The system’s computer also can retrieve and list articles sim­ ilar to a given article or all the articles written by one physicist. The success of the new information retrieval system will be determined by the funding of its future operation and by how quickly faculty and graduate students accept it, Divilbiss said. The university’s Graduate School of Library Science and College of Engineering have paid development costs, he said. • The National Commission on L ibraries and Information Science announced last week they will hold at least three regional hear­ ings in the next fiscal year. San Francisco will be the site for th e first meeting in th e fall. The hearings, open to the public and others who will be invited to testify, will be on a day prior to the regular two-day Commission sessions. Other locations announced include Chicago, in the winter, and a spring hearing in Atlanta. The exact dates will be announced later. The commission hopes to hear from those in­ terested in the future of libraries and informa­ tion science with additional hearings scheduled on a regular basis in the continuing work of the commission. 199 P U B L I C A T I O N S • The Palmer G raduate Library School of Long Island University has published an exten­ sive bibliography of material in the humanities. This is included in an enlarged and revised edi­ tion of the course outline and bibliography in Humanities: Sources and Services. This has been prepared by Dr. Paul A. Winckler, Pro­ fessor of Library Science and a member of the library school faculty. This 308 page listing includes general m a­ terial in the humanities, as well as background items and bibliographies in philosophy, religion, mythology, language, art, minor and applied arts, music, performing arts, and literature. Full bibliographical data is given and the coverage includes representative reference materials, such as: general works, bibliographies and guides; dictionaries; encyclopedias; directories, yearbooks and almanacs; biographical sources; geographical sources; handbooks and manuals; indexes; reviewing sources and abstracts; audio­ visual materials and sources, and specialized materials. In addition there is a list of selected periodicals; organizations, associations, and so­ cieties; selected publishers, and a list of li­ braries and special collections for each subject area. Copies are available by ordering directly from the Palmer G raduate Library School, Long Island University, C. W. Post Center, Greenvale, Long Island, NY 11548. The order must be accompanied w ith paym ent for $8.00 net. • The revised edition of the International Organization for Standardization’s Internation­ al Code for th e Abbreviation of Titles of Peri­ odicals, ISO 4-1972, should be a valuable aid for authors, editors, librarians, and researchers involved w ith the transfer of information on an international scale. Developed with the help of the International Committee of American National Standards Committee Z39 on library work, documenta­ tion, and related publishing practices, ISO 4-1972 can ease the task of cataloging, simplify the search for publications, eliminate th e dan­ ger of losing them altogether in the miles of shelving of large libraries, and save time for all concerned. In addition to the U nited States, more than tw enty other nations have accepted the principles established by ISO 4. These in­ clude Germany, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, Sweden, and the U nited King­ dom. The basic philosophy of the standard is that each title should have its own unequivocal ab­ breviation—with no tw o titles having an identi­ cal abbreviation, nor a single abbreviation rep­ resenting more than one title. For example, the abbreviation “Ind” is correct for industry or industrial, but incorrect for India, Indiana, in­ digency, or indigo. In general, th e method of abbreviating recommended is truncation ( drop­ ping a continuous group of the final letters of a w ord) rather than contraction (om itting in­ ternal letters). Exceptions to the rule are clear­ ly indicated. The standardized use of punctuation marks, sections and series, acronyms, personal names, and similar sources of potential difficulty for catalogers is also covered. Thus, the title of the Journal of Mathematics and Physics is abbrevi­ ated J. Math. & Phys., while the Journal of Mathematical Physics would appear as J. Math. Phys. ISO Technical Committee 46 on documen­ tation advocates use of ISO 4-1972 in conjunc­ tion w ith ISO recommendations for the trans­ literation into Latin characters of various non- Latin alphabets such as Cyrillic, Arabic, and Greek. Another supplementary document is American National Standard Z39.5-1969, A b ­ breviations o f Titles of Periodicals.

T he standards for describing single volume and multivolume monographic publications have now been com­ pleted, approved by the International Federa­ tion of Library Association, and published by the International Federation of L ibrary Associa­ tions Committee on Cataloguing. The purpose of the standard can best be de­ scribed in the words of the chairman of the committee, A. H. Chaplin: It is designed primarily as an instrum ent for the international communication of bibliographical information. By specifying the elements which should comprise a bib­ liographical description and by prescribing the order in which they should b e pre­ sented and the punctuation by which they should be demarcated, it aims at three objectives: to make records from different sources interchangeable; to facilitate their interpretation across language barriers; and to facilitate conversion of such records to machine-readable form.
