McGarry (Clive Bingley, 1981, $19.50), evaluates the impact of the various technologies for recording and disseminat­ ing inform ation, the opportunities which new technologies open up, the constraints which they impose, and the way that society adapts itself to the means of communication available. •Richard M. Neustadt, in The Birth of Electronic Publishing (Knowledge Industry, 1982, $32.95), collects the whole of current U.S. communications laws and regulations and analyzes their probable effect on the new electronic technology. •The authors in Research in the Age o f the Steady-State University, edited by Don I. Phillips and B e n ja m in S .P . Shen (W estv iew , 1 9 8 2 , $16.50), point to the need for a strong cooperative relationship between research and education. Rep­ resentatives of the scientific, educational, and gov­ ernment sectors look at the problems and prospects facing U.S. research and university education, pre­ senting the perspectives of their own institutional biases and turning also to the experiences of Can­ ada and Western Europe. •Tomorrow’s Universities: A World Wide Look at Educational Change, compiled by W . W erner Prange, David Jowett, and Barbara Fogel (West­ view, 1982, $20), provides an important contribu­ tion to higher education and to the understanding of university innovations throughout the world. The authors of this volume have provided a much- needed, authoritative, and comprehensive account of the practical as well as the philosophical reasons for global university innovation at the beginning of the 1980s. ■ ■ New Technology •CL S y s t e m s . I n c ., Newtonville, Massachusetts, has introduced a Model P-300 Report Printer for larger libraries which have a high volume require­ ment for printing management reports and patron notices with the LIBS 100 System. The printer fea­ tures a 96-character upper and lower case charac­ ter set and prints at a speed of 240 lines per minute. Originally manufactured by Printronix, In c., the Model P-300 was selected by C LSI because of its high quality, high reliability, and proven perform­ ance in many other data processing applications.

INMA­ G IC was designed for online catalogs in libraries and information centers and has been installed in a variety* of research and records centers in business and industry. Educational institutions have also found it valuable, such as a regional educational resource library in Connecticut and a midwestern university where it is used to provide an index for videotape programs. Available for Washington li­ brary students are the sample applications for on­ line cataloging, acquisitions, and circulation, and applications for the online managment of library functions. Because the software allows users to de­ sign databases and print formats without requiring programming expertise, students can also use it for referral files, course evaluations, and indexing spe­ cial collections.
