The Agriculture and Biological Sciences Subsection Executive Committee held its Mid­ winter meeting on Thursday, January 30, 1969, from 4:30 until 6:00 p.m. in Club Room C of the Shoreham Hotel in Washington, D.C. The Chairman expressed her pleasure in hav­ ing Mr. Gillies, Section Chairman, present at the meeting. Mr. Samuelson gave th e report of the 1969/70 Nominating Committee. The Chairman reported for th e Oberly Award Committee since Mr. Fleming Bennett, Com­ mittee Chairman, had to leave the Midwinter Meeting early. It is possible th at no award will be given this year due to the lack so far of impressive candidates. If an award is given, it will be presented on June 25 at the Pro­ gram meeting in Atlantic City. The Atlantic City meeting will be a joint meeting of the Section and the Subsection. I t was decided that the Section business meet­ ing should be held first. Then the Subsection business meeting, and Award if given, will take place prior to the Program meeting. Discus­ sion followed concerning the estimated at­ tendance in order to arrange for a meeting room. It was agreed that advance notification of the meeting would appear in the A C R L N ew s and th at flyers would be mailed to the entire Section membership. Announcements would be sent to the Bulletin M L A, Special Libraries and possibly to AHIL.

Because of th e dearth of published materials available on this topic, they would be deeply grateful to hear from any person directly in­ volved in library union activity or who has in­ formation on the topic. It is planned th a t the study will result in a monograph length his­ tory of the topic which will be of interest both to students of labor and to professional li­ brarians. All inquiries and correspondence may be addressed to Archie Kleingärtner, Assistant Professor of Industrial Relations, Graduate School of Business Administration, University of California, Los Angeles, California 90024. ■ ■ ACRL Membership March 31, 1969 11,776 March 31, 1968 11,464 March 31, 1967 10,690 March 31, 1966 9,313 COLLEGE & RESEARCH N E W S LIBRARIES ACRL News Issue of College & Research Libraries Editor, David Kaser, Cornell University Li­ braries, Ithaca, N.Y. 14850.
