The confer­ ence opened with a business meeting on Sun­ day, which included reports on the current ACBL meeting, preliminary plans for the 1975 San Francisco Conference, and a description of the Bicentennial Bibliography project of the Archives of American Art by Bernard Karpel, editor and coordinator of the project. On Monday the Art Section toured the Cloisters Museum and participated in an in­ formal session on library resources with Kate Chipman, librarian at the Cloisters Museum. Tuesday’s activities included a tour and lecture at the auction house of Parke-Bernet, followed by an examination of the Parke-Bernet library. Evening activities included an open house host­ ed by ARLIS/NY at the American Crafts Coun­ cil, followed by informal dinner arrangements and museum touring. Wednesday included the evening reception for ACRL members at the Elmer Holmes Bobst Library. The executive committee met for breakfast Thursday morning, at which time plans were discussed for the 1975 San Francisco meeting. From ten o’clock until twelve noon the Art Sec­ tion met at the Frick Collection with the cura­ torial staff, followed by a lecture on the collec­ tion and its development. During the remain­ ing time Art Section members viewed the col­ lection. The overall turnout for meetings was good, and the tours, arranged by Ms. Barbara Sevy, were particularly appreciated by the membership. C O L L E G E L I B R A R I E S S E C T I O N At the Las Vegas Conference, the executive board of the College Libraries Section, ACBL, voted that an ad hoc committee be established “to reexamine the Section’s position υis-a-vis ACRL and ALA [and] to clearly state goals and objectives recognizing the fundamentally unique needs of college libraries as distinct from junior college and university libraries. … ” Since that time the committee has held meet­ ings at Midwinter 1974 and at the Annual Con­ ference in July 1974. Liaison has been set up with the ACRL subcommittee on goals, and guidance has been sought from a variety of in­ dividuals including past officers of CLS. Committee consensus has emerged that dis­ cussions of the group should now be summa­ rized for the attention of CLS membership. Ac­ cordingly the following Draft Statement of CLS 232 Goals is published. The committee requests that CLS members respond with detailed criti­ cisms and suggestions, addressed to the com­ mittee chairman. These responses will guide committee discussions at Midwinter 1975. A final report is scheduled for the Annual Con­ ference in 1975. DRAFT STATEMENT OF CLS GOALS The goals of CLS shall be: a. To provide a forum for discussion of prob­ lems concerning undergraduate library service primarily. These are problems which are either unique to the college li­ brary or, where more generalized, are of immediate and pressing concern to the college library. b. In providing this forum, to make certain that the major concerns of all types of col­ lege library receive attention, particular­ ly those which exist in relative geographi­ cal and professional isolation from major academic centers. c. To arrange programs, meetings and other activities which will encourage direct membership participation. The committee suggests that programs and activities centering around themes such as the following would make a useful beginning to­ ward realization of goals such as the above: The effectiveness o f present “standards” or “guidelines” for the maintenance of adequate levels of service in the college library. The extent to which “standards” make a differ­ ence in problem solving in the college li­ brary. Regional cooperatives and the college li­ brary, including the concept of community use of the college library, emphasizing “best practice,” management problems, fiscal im­ plications, public relations, and similar con­ siderations. Data retrieval in the college library with con­ sideration of the potential for joint use or sharing of terminals on a local or regional basis among cooperating college libraries. The place o f the nonprint m edia in the col­ lege library: the “learning resources center” and the college library. Library instruction for the undergraduate, its place in the teaching-learning process and the contribution of the professional staff of the college library in the provision of this in­ struction. The enlargement of graduate instruction, continuing education programs, and service to the community programs on the college campus and their impact on college library services. Continuing education for the college library staff. The potential contribution of consortia, library schools, and other agencies in this area. CLS members are urged to send written reactions to the foregoing in care of the com­ mittee chairman at the following address: Charles L. Higgins, Director of Learning Re­ sources, Nazareth College of Rochester, 4245 East Avenue, Rochester, NY 14610. ■ ■ Bylaws of the College Libraries Section of ACRL Approved by the membership of the ACRL College Libraries Section, on July 9,1974.
