ACRL News Issue (B) of College & Research Libraries 59 News From the Field A C Q U I S I T I O N S • The U n i v e r s i t y o f T u l s a recently r ceived the American Indian collection of John W. Shleppey, who at the time of his death in September was a Seattle collector and rare- book dealer. The Shleppey material was amassed through forty years of collecting and was considered to be one of the finest Indian collections in private hands. Shleppey was a native Tulsan who specialized in imprints from Indian Territory, particularly Cherokee and Choctaw imprints. He moved to Seattle approx­ imately twenty years ago and requested that the collection be returned to Tulsa at the time of his death. The collection includes photo­ graphs, manuscripts, documents, and books; it is estimated that there are 6,000 bibliographic items exclusive of the manuscripts and photos. Items that pertain to Indian law are numerous, and, when combined with existing Indian col­ lections at The University of Tulsa, they rep­ resent a major resource for Indian law as well as Indian history. While living in Tulsa, Shlep­ pey was in the outdoor advertising business; his business papers and outdoor advertising art work that date to the 1920s were included. They comprise a major business archival col­ lection. In all, it is the most significant gift to be received by the university in recent years. The University of Tulsa has also acquired the D. H. Lawrence Collection of John Martin, owner and publisher of Black Sparrow Press. It was reputed to be one of the best privately owned Lawrence collections in the world. It in­ cludes letters and manuscripts, virtually all edi­ tions of L ady Chatterly’s Lover, a mint-signed edition of W om en in L ove, T h e Rainbow with the dust jacket, “Men Bathing” which is a Law­ rence painting, letters from Lawrence, over 200 periodical articles, approximately 130 transla­ tions, numerous biographies and critical works, movie scripts, and other material. The Law­ rence Collection became the twenty-ninth au­ thor in the University’s Modern Authors Special Collection. To commemorate the opening of the Lawrence Room, a D. H. Lawrence Symposi­ um was held on December 8. Speakers were Dr. James Cowan, University of Arkansas, an internationally known Lawrence scholar and editor of the D. H. L aw ren ce Review, and Dr. Warren Roberts, professor of English and di­ rector of the Humanities Research Center of the University of Texas and internationally known Lawrence bibliographer. Another collection recently acquired is all foreign translations of the works of Graham Greene, 888 volumes in all. It was the personal collection of the author and was obtained from him. e­ • The N e w Y o r k B o t a n i c a l G a r d e n has acquired two rare manuscripts believed to be the oldest copies in existence of a manuscript called the Circa instans, written in the Middle Ages and of special interest today to historians of botany, pharmacology, and medicine. The title comes from the first two Latin words of the documents. One of the manuscripts transcribed by hand in medieval Latin by a European scribe is thought to have been completed about the end of the twelfth century, while the other appar­ ently dates back to the beginning of the thir­ teenth century. Both are on vellum, one with 258 chapters and the other 260. Both are from the library of the late Dr. Emil Starkenstein, a former professor of phar­ macology and pharmacognosy— the science of drugs— at the German University in Prague. His collection was viewed as one of the finest in Europe pertaining to the history of botany and pharmacology from the Middle Ages on­ ward. A large part of his medico-botanical books were acquired by the Garden several years ago. The Circa instans was written by Matthaeus Platearius, an outstanding teacher at the School of Salerno, the first school of medicine estab­ lished in Europe. The time of its preparation is put at a .D . 1140-1150. It is considered as fundamental to the development of modern botany as Dioscorides’ D e Materio M edica and Pliny’s Historia Naturalis, both written in the First Century a .d . Salerno, the leading medical center of its time, taught doctors how to prescribe drugs and to perform surgery at a time when most drugs were derived directly from plants. What later became “botany,” “medicine,” and “phar­ macology” was then one area of thought. Through the Circa instans, obsolete names were removed from the nomenclature of sources of medicine, the names were sharply reduced in number and standardized, and descriptions were provided of numerous drugs, with instruc­ tions for their preparation. This helped to clear up some of the confusion surrounding medicine in the early Middle Ages. Copies of the Circa instans did not come into print until 1497. Despite its influence and power as a source of departure from the ancient past and as one of the basic books of western botany, the Circa instans, technically, lacks a title. It received none from its Middle-Ages author and is called 60 the Circa instans ( “about the present” ) simply because those are the first two words. The acquisition by the New York Botanical Garden was made possible through numerous private donations. The Samuel H. Kress Foun­ dation was a major contributor. F E L L O WS H I P S • More than 500 awards for university lec­ turing and postdoctoral research in over seven­ ty-five countries will be made to Americans for the academic year 1977-78, the thirtieth year of the senior F u l b r i g h t - H a y s p b o g b a m . Fur­ ther information is available from the Council for International Exchange of Scholars ( C IE S ) ‚ a nongovernmental organization cooperating with the U.S. Department of State in the ad­ ministration of the program. The CIES new ad­ dress is Eleven Dupont Circle, Washington, DC 20036. An American citizen who has a doctorate or college teaching experience may request an­ nouncement of openings in his field of special­ ization; the request should indicate preferred countries or geographic areas and probable dates of availability. Those who wish to indi­ cate a continuing interest in Fulbright-Hays and other educational programs may complete a two-page form for the council’s Register of Scholars. In April 1976, each registrant will be sent an announcement of opportunities under the 1977-78 program. Applications for 1976-77 are at present un­ der review, but some awards remain open to application. Inquiries about remaining openings are welcomed by CIES. The CIES also administers a program for foreign senior scholars who receive Fulbright- Hays grants through application to agencies in their home countries. Each year approximately 500 foreign scholars are awarded grants to come to the United States after arrangements are made for lecturing or research assignments at American institutions. Colleges or universities interested in having a foreign Fulbright-Hays scholar on campus during 1976-77 should write to the council as soon as possible. For the 1975- 76 academic year, a directory of foreign Ful­ bright lecturers and research scholars in the United States is available on request. These scholars are specialists in a wide range of dis­ ciplines; most are available to give guest lec­ tures or to participate in special conferences. G R A N T S • A Council on Library Resources grant of $11,000 to the L i b r a r y o f C o n g r e s s enables it to join with the national libraries of Australia, Canada, France, and Great Britain in funding an international bibliographic network study. The study was recommended and approved at an October 27-28 meeting in Paris of nation­ al librarians called by the IFL A National Li­ braries Group. Under discussion were problems associated with the international exchange of magnetic tapes. The network study will consist of a brief state-of-the-art report (based on national sub­ missions), a general narrative concerned with technical and bibliographic development, an ex­ amination of the levels of information and or­ ganization required by the system, and recom­ mendations. Richard Coward of the British Library was named chairman of a steering committee to consider the final report and make recommen­ dations. The steering committee is composed of representatives from the National Library of Canada, British Library, Library of Congress, Bibliotheque National (Fran ce), Bibliotheque Royale (Belgium), Deutsche Bibliothek (Frank­ fort), Bibliotheque Royale (Netherlands), Det Kongelige Bibliotek ( Denmark) ‚ the IFLA Of­ fice of Universal Bibliographic Control, and UNESCO. The financial management of the study will be handled by the UBC office. • A CLR grant of $1,080 will enable the U n i v e r s i t y o f I l l i n o i s College of Law library to program and evaluate a computer on-line reference service for library users, particularly when professional help is not available in the library. Carol Boast, the university’s assistant law li­ brarian, will use the CLR funds for computer programming assistance in connection with a pilot project that concentrates on the library’s collection of state and federal documents. The university’s on-line computer system— PLATO (Programmed Logic for Automation Teaching Operation)— will be utilized to pro­ vide “ready-reference any time the library is open.” The PLATO terminal is on a campus system that is, in effect, a computer-assisted learning laboratory. The library has three PLATO termi­ nals now in use in the evening for other pur­ poses. A program that results in greater accessibility to reference guides to the state and federal documents could justify a more comprehensive follow-up effort by the library. • The I n t e r n a t i o n a l F e d e r a t i o n o f L i ­ b r a r y A s s o c i a t i o n s (IF L A ) will undertake an expanded “professional activities” program in 1976 with the support of a new three-year grant of $174,000 from the Council on Library Resources. Reporting a 153 percent growth in member­ ship and a new dues structure that makes the IFLA general secretariat self-supporting, Presi­ dent Preben Kirkegaard ( rector, Denmark’s Royal School of Librarianship) suggested the need to “reconcile quantity with quality” in the 61 years ahead. Under a new plan discussed at IFL A ’s Forty-first General Council Meeting in Oslo, the organization will begin an aggressive program of substantive work, supervised by a professional board. The CLR grant will enable IFLA to hire a deputy secretary general to head a new planning unit responsible to the professional board for the coordination of pro­ gram services and regional development. It will serve also as a clearinghouse on library activi­ ties and related international offices. Located in IFL A ’s headquarters in the Hague, the professional unit will augment the existing secretariat, which could not assume the added responsibilities required by the crea­ tion of new professional divisions, sections, roundtables, and working groups. In the proposed new structure of IFLA, members and affiliates would have to register for participation in section work. Preliminary planning calls for eight coordinating divisions— three for types of libraries, four for types of li­ brary functions, and one for regional activities — from which will be created perhaps twenty- five sections to carry out the actual programs. Membership dues would allow free participa­ tion in a certain number of sections; a charge would be levied for membership in additional units. This new organizational approach was re­ viewed at length at IFLA ’s Oslo meeting and will be voted upon officially at the August 1976 IFLA General Council Meeting in Lau­ sanne, France. Membership in IFLA has grown to 135 member library associations and 502 member libraries in ninety-eight countries, including fifty-nine developing countries. The United States is represented in IFL A by five mem­ ber associations: American Library Association, American Association of Law Libraries, As­ sociation of Research Libraries, Medical Li­ brary Association, and the Special Library As­ sociation. In addition, approximately 100 U.S. libraries are IFLA member libraries. • A Council on Library Resources (C L grant of $165,800 has been made to the L i­ b r a r y o r C o n g r e s s ( L C ) to support the sys­ tems design and programming required to in­ tegrate the functions of the Conversion of Se­ rials Project (C O N SER) with other technical processing activities making up the library’s projected national bibliographic service. The library plans to assume responsibility for the management and permanent maintenance of the national serials data base and for the dis­ tribution of resulting products. The library’s target date for absorbing the functions of CONSER is November 1977. Begun as a cooperative effort to build a cen­ tralized machine-readable data base of records representing serial publications, the CONSER project is managed currently by staff of the R Council on Library Resources. Initial systems support for assembling the basic data base, composed of the existing serials files of the L i­ brary of Congress, National Library of Canada, and the Minnesota Union List of Serials, has been provided by the Ohio College Library Center (O C L C ) since December 1974, when a contract was signed with CLR. New records are added to the file by twelve CONSER par­ ticipants, who also upgrade and correct records in the basic file on line. The participants are the Library of Congress, National Library of Medi­ cine, National Agricultural Library, National Library of Canada, University of Minnesota, University of Florida (Gainesville), Boston Theological Institute, Yale, State University of New York, Cornell, University of California, and the New York State Library. The Library of Congress and the National Library of Can­ ada act as the final bibliographic authorities. As a first step under the terms of the grant, senior-level LC staff who have experience in serials processing, CONSER, and the present LC MARC (machine-readable cataloging) sys­ tem, will undertake an in-depth analysis to de­ termine the software and additional hardware requirements for LC ’s assumption of CONSER functions. Upon completion of the analysis, de­ sign specifications will be written and the ac­ tual programming will begin.

April 2 and May 7: “Measurement of Li­ brary Services or How Well Are We Really Doing What We Do?” is the topic of a work­ shop to be sponsored by the School of Library and Information Science at the State Univer­ sity o f New Y o r k at Albany. Ann Prentice, assistant professor at the School of Library and Information Science, SUNYA, is director of the workshop. Librarians increasingly must answer such questions as who uses the library, why is more money needed, why does a library need more 62 reference staff, etc. One way of answering these and similar questions is to use existing library measures or develop new measures to deter­ mine just how well a library is doing its job. The workshop will cover two sessions: Session 1: Participants will consider their own library problems and develop a measure to apply to one or more of these problems; Session 2 : After actually using the measure, participants will share the results and their im­ plications. Registration is limited to thirty. Cost: $20.00.

A p r i l 2 5 -2 8 : The thirteenth annual C l i n i c o n L i b r a r y A p p l i c a t i o n s o f D a t a P r o c e s s ­ i n g will be conducted by the Graduate School of Library Science, University of Illinois, at the Illini Union on the Urbana campus. The theme of this clinic will be “The Economics of L i­ brary Automation.” In an era of double-digit inflation and re­ duced budgets, libraries are being forced to examine automation costs very carefully. Can an automated system be less expensive than the manual system it replaces? Are there objective measures of the dollar value of improved ser­ vice? When can a library justify independent development of a computer system? Papers at the 1976 clinic will attempt to answer these questions and to describe the economics of spe­ cific library applications. J. L. Divilbiss, associate professor of library science, is chairman of the committee planning the clinic.

Scholars from various disciplines, special collections librarians, and specialists in children’s literature will en­ gage in a two-day exchange on the diversity of research making use of children’s literature and on the implications of this research for collec­ tion development and organization. Children’s literature here is defined in its broad sense, en­ compassing its many forms and formats, i.e., book, periodical, boxed game, comics, phono- recording, motion pictures, etc. Researchers who will present an overview of their studies and findings include: Dr. R. Gor­ don Kelly on values and class structure in nine­ teenth-century American children’s periodicals; Dr. Fred Erisman on regionalism in nineteenth- century American children’s books; Dr. Anne Scott McLeod on children’s literature and American culture in the early nineteenth cen­ tury; and Dr. Walter Savage on lost innocence in the American comic strip. Several specialists who will consider aspects of children’s literature collecting which influence and support scholarly CLR Annual Report Washington, D.C.— In its most active year, the Council on Library Resources (C L R ) committed $3,002,004 in grants and contracts for thirty-seven new proj­ ects and twenty-six fellowships in the twelve months ending June 1975, accord­ ing to the CLR 19th Annual Report. In addition, thirty-eight previously funded programs were operative during the year. The new projects ranged from support of a participant’s attendance at an Asso­ ciation for Asian Studies meeting ($270) to a program for completion of the Uni­ versity of Chicago’s library data manage­ ment system ($350,000). Over half of the $3 million was allo­ cated to activities, including those in au­ tomation and networks, that will lead to the development of national library ser­ vices. An important step in this direction was the February 1975 creation of an Advisory Group on National Bibliograph­ ic Control, jointly sponsored by CLR, the National Science Foundation, and the National Commission on Libraries and Information Science. In the annual report’s “Statement of Functional Expenditures” (p .54), new CLR programs are grouped into eight categories: Automation, networks, and national library services— $1,645,538; Libraries and their users— $103,251; Management— $310,000; Microforms— $4,000; Preservation— $120,000; Profes­ sional Development— $458,093; Interna­ tional— $270,400; and General— $90,- 722. The council’s 19th Annual Report is available at no charge to interested in­ dividuals. Write to the Council on Li­ brary Resources, One Dupont Circle, Suite 620, Washington, DC 20036. 65 studies are: Dr. Frances Henne on the gaps and overlaps in collecting and the need for a national collection; Dr. James Fraser on the collection of foreign-language and ethnic minor­ ity publications; Frederick Bauer (American Antiquarian Society); and Gerald Gottlieb (Morgan Library) on eighteenth and nine­ teenth-century collections. Symposium participants will address the growing need for dialogue on and understand­ ing of the researcher’s need for all types of children’s literature directed to many audiences.

May 16-21: The Kent State University L i­ brary announces a second five-day i n t e n s i v e w o r k s h o p o n OCLC. Planned chiefly for mid­ dle management and systems personnel in in­ stitutions about to begin network participation, it will also be of interest to librarians and li­ brary school faculty concerned with networks and with inter-institutional bibliographic con­ trol. Each participant will be guaranteed individ­ ualized hours working on-line. Resource people in a number of remote locations will be avail­ able as consultants and lecturers, via the uni­ versity’s telelecture capabilities. Topics will include: “The OCLC System”; “The MARC Format” (as the system’s biblio­ graphic medium); “The OCLC Terminal” (operation, possibilities, limitations, printing at­ tachments); “In-House Procedures” (work flow adaptations, management implications); and “Teaching Methods” (sharing this complex of information with others). For maximum personalization, the group will be limited to thirty registrants. Special consid­ eration will be given to individuals in libraries whose “on-line” date is imminent. For further information, contact: Anne Marie Allison, Assistant Professor, Library Administra­ tion, University Libraries, Kent State Univer­ sity, Kent, OH 44242. May 17-19: CUMREC, the College and Uni­ versity Machine Records Conference, will hold its twenty-first annual meeting at the Nether­ land Hilton Hotel in Cincinnati. Host organization will be SWORCC, the Southwestern Ohio Regional Computer Center operated by the University of Cincinnati and Miami University at Oxford as a consortium to provide computer services support to the aca­ demic and administrative functions of both uni­ versities and a number of other nonprofit orga­ nizations. CUMREC ’76 theme will be “Sharing-Key to the Future.” Papers by delegates will explore primarily three interest areas: data processing, admissions and records, and business or finan­ cial affairs. The conference is expected to at­ tract about 900 participants from 300 member institutions, public and private, varying widely in size. Information may be obtained from Robert R. Caster, SWORCC, Medical Services Build­ ing, 231 Bethesda Ave., Cincinnati, OH 45267, telephone (5 1 3 ) 475-5069, or Jack Southard, Administrative Data Processing, Miami Univer­ sity, Oxford, OH 45056, telephone (513 ) 529- 5322. May 17-21: In conjunction with the Ad­ vanced Management Centre of the Institute of Public Affairs at Dalhousie University, the School of Library Service is sponsoring a week­ long S e m i n a r f o r L i b r a r i a n s i n M i d d l e - M a n a g e m e n t P o s i t i o n s at Dalhousie Univer­ sity. Registration will be limited to a maximum of twenty, and it is expected that those enroll­ ing for the seminar will be in middle manage­ ment positions in their libraries or information centres. The two main themes of the seminar will focus on “The Art of Communications” and “Leadership and Motivation.” A manager’s abil­ ity to communicate is a critical factor in his or her effectiveness. The aim of the seminar will be to sharpen that ability and improve inter­ personal skills by providing solid theory and a series of practical problem-solving exercises. Leadership ability is the most sought after skill by management. The seminar will be an inten­ sive, practical, “how to” program for improving leadership skills, to identify each individual’s own style of leadership, and to learn how to get more productive results from subordinates. The seminar leader will be Professor John Dougall, director of the Advanced Management Centre, who will be assisted by other members of his staff. Professor Dougall directed the school’s very successful one-day workshop for alumni in December 1973. The cost for this seminar will be $75.00. This price will include lunch each day at the Dal­ housie Faculty Club and an opening reception there on the evening of Monday, May 17.

J u n e 1 - 4 : The University of Illinois Gradu­ ate School of Library Science announces an O n - L i n e R e t r i e v a l W o r k s h o p , to be offered at the Urbana campus Illini Union. The instruc­ tor in charge will be Martha E. Williams, pro­ fessor of library administration and research professor in the Coordinated Science Labora­ tory, at the University of Illinois. Professor Williams was formerly manager of the Com­ puter Search Center at IIT Research Institute, and is the new editor of the Annual R eview of Inform ation Science and Technology. In addi­ tion to Professor Williams there will be speak­ ers from Lockheed and SDC. The workshop will consist of formal lectures, training sessions, and extensive hands-on ex­ perience with currently available computer- based data files. Enrollment will be limited to no more than forty persons, and preference will be given to those who have had a course on li­ brary automation or on information storage and retrieval. The intent of the workshop is to familiarize librarians with the content and coverage of cur­ rently available machine readable data bases as well as with techniques for processing and searching data bases. After completing the workshop, a person should be able to compare and contrast data bases and services in order to relate such services effectively to the user clientele. The tuition for the workshop is $100.00 per person, and includes the cost of two manuals. Housing is available in the Illini Union and in nearby hotels.

J u l y 14-17: “Maps and Atlases: A New World in Rare Book and Manuscript Collec­ tions” will be the theme of the ACRL Rare B o o k s a n d Manuscripts Pre-Conference to be held in Ann Arbor, Michigan. The program, designed for librarians, antiquarian bookmen, and collectors by program chairman Kenneth Nebenzahl, will focus on maps and atlases from the viewpoint of librarians, geographers, cartog­ raphers, historians, archivists, and conservators. Starting with the recognition that special col­ lections librarians, however lacking they may be in cartographic expertise, all have maps in their collections, the speakers will endeavor to show the way to discovery, exploration, and scholarly exploitation of these cartographic trea­ sures. The program will provide not only vital background knowledge and discussion of the potential value of maps as important research tools, but also will provide help in such practi­ cal matters as the care and cataloging of maps, cooperative programs, and microfilming stan­ dards.

M I S C E L L A N Y • The N e w Y o r k L i b r a r y I n s t r u c t i o C l e a r i n g h o u s e has been established at the F. Franklin Moon Library, SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry in Syra­ cuse, New York. NYLIC acts as a clearinghouse for academic n library orientation and instruction information and materials. It aims to facilitate communica­ tion among libraries with instructional pro­ grams, to assist libraries in developing such programs, and to aid librarians in their re­ search on such programs. The center should enable academic libraries to eliminate much costly duplication of effort through the sharing of information and experience. NYLIC has the following objectives: ( 1 ) to identify the variety of programs in progress and preparation in New York universities, col­ leges, and junior colleges; (2 ) to publish a di­ rectory of library instruction programs to fa­ cilitate communication among libraries and li­ brarians; (3 ) to act as a clearinghouse for ma­ terials and information for all levels of instruc­ tion in library use, from basic orientation to ad­ vanced bibliographic instruction— the clearing­ house services would include the following: (a ) information and materials deposited by li­ braries with instructional programs would be on display for visiting persons, and (b ) in re­ sponse to requests, referral would be made to member libraries that can provide the detailed information or assistance required; ( 4 ) to pub­ lish regular articles in the various New York library newsletters; ( 5 ) to sponsor (and/or co­ sponsor) workshops throughout the state. These workshops would be teaching and working ses­ sions to increase library instruction skills. Since its establishment in the spring of 1975, the clearinghouse has received grants from the State University of New York Librarians Asso­ ciation (SUNYLA) and the College and Uni­ versity Library Section (C U L S) of the New York Library Association. To help finance its activities, further funding is being sought. A mailing list for New York State academic libraries has been compiled and a questionnaire sent to gather information for a directory. A preliminary report based on this questionnaire has been completed and will be distributed. Materials are now actively being collected and organized in NYLIC’s office in the Moon Library. Any material sent to the clearinghouse should be clearly stamped with the library’s name and address. While NYLIC’s primary concern is academic programs, it would wel­ come input from public and special libraries. Libraries having materials to submit are urged to send them in duplicate if possible to: New York Library Instruction Clearinghouse, F. Franklin Moon Library, SUNY College of Environmental Sciehce and Forestry, Syracuse, NY 13210; (3 1 5 ) 473-8615. • Three faculty members from Liverpool Polytechnic’s School of Library and Informa­ tion Studies in England will teach at D r e x e l U n i v e r s i t y ’s G r a d u a t e S c h o o l o f L i b r a r y S c i e n c e as visiting lecturers during the 1976 academic year. 71 The three professors, Joan Bibby, Eric Hun­ ter, and Kenneth Bakewell, will spend succes­ sive academic terms teaching courses on the organization of materials.

Each ornament and illustration is ac­ companied by a listing of the names and loca­ tions of the printers who used it. Bibliograph­ ical references drawn primarily from Charles Evans’s American B ibliography and Roger P. Bristol’s Supplem ent to Charles Evans’ Ameri­ can Bibliography note the imprint containing the first appearance of each ornament or illus­ tration in each year of its use. The American Antiquarian Society-Readex Microprint Early American Imprint Series has reproduced most of the imprints in those bibliographies. This graphic dictionary contains valuable material for the study of colonial America from both bibliographical and historical perspectives. The designs and the accompanying annotation can aid librarians, dealers, and collectors in identifying colonial books, pamphlets, and broadsides which lack imprints or colophons. The dictionary’s Index of Printers is, in effect, 72 an inventory of much of the ornament and il­ lustration stock of each colonial printing house. The Index of Dates, which follows the Printers’ Index, is a chronological listing of the orna­ ments and illustrations, which enables one to trace the importation practices of colonial printers. The Dictionary is available for $45.00 from The University Press of Virginia, Box 3608, University Station, Charlottesville, VA 22903. • Congressional Information Service, Inc., publisher of the American Statistics Index (ASI), is making available to librarians at no charge a recently published checklist, “Peri­ odicals and Sources: A List o f F ed e ra l Statisti­ cal Publications.” Librarians can use this ref­ erence tool to help evaluate the inclusiveness of their library’s reference-documents collection as well as current acquisition efforts. The alphabetical list includes the tides of 798 currently issued government periodicals which contain statistics on an extremely wide variety of subjects. Additional details on each publication include periodicity, availability, and depository status, and where appropriate, de­ pository item number and hardcopy price. A list of 140 federal sources (e.g., executive agen­ cies, congressional committees and offices, and other statistics-producers) which issue these periodicals is also provided. CIS estimates that in 1976 these periodicals will account for nearly 7,600 individual issu­ ances. Many of these are not depository items and not available for purchase from the Gov­ ernment Printing Office, although some may be acquired directly from an individual issuing agency.

There are seventy-two reels. Within the limitation of copyright restriction, single copies of portions of the film will be made available, on applica­ tion, for scholarly use. A revised list of all titles filmed has been prepared. To this list of titles has been added a brief description of other protest literature of the sixties and seventies, which is actively collected in Temple’s Con­ temporary Culture Collection. The filmed material covers eight of the twenty-seven subject categories into which the collection is organized. These are: “Gay Liber­ ation,” “Military Underground,” “Ecology/ Communes/Alternatives,” “High School Un­ derground,” “Radical Health,” “Radical Educa­ tion,” “Radical Religious Groups/Occult Extra­ terrestrial,” and “Libertarian.” Altogether the seventy-two reels include more than four hundred titles. As might be ex­ pected, many of the titles are represented by only one or two issues. This is particularly true of high school and military underground pa­ pers, where disciplinary action was unusually effective in curbing further activity. Requests for the list and inquiries regarding films for research use should be addressed to the Contemporary Culture Collection, Temple University Libraries, Philadelphia, PA 19122. ■ ■ ANY WAY YOU LOOK AT IT, THIS NEW REFERENCE IS THE PLACE TO LOOK FIRST … because our com p rehensive, m u ltid is c ip lin a ry Index to S cie n tific R eview s™ w ill lead you d ire c tly to review articles on just about any s c ie n c e subject.
