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.
