G olian fosters advances in ac­ quisitions or technical services by providing fel­ lowships to librarians for travel or writing in those fields. Tia Gozzi, chair o f the award jury, said, “As the traditional lines betw een library public and technical services blur, this study may yield a timely perspective on w hether and how librar­ ians in these tw o areas differ in terms o f their thinking styles, and as a result, in their com mu­ nication patterns, their goals, and their ap­ proaches. Practical insights gained from the study may also help library managers and leaders.” In the study, Golian will analyze the think­ ing style preferences o f higher-level adminis­ trative librarians by surveying librarians w ork­ ing in ARL institutions. The p roject’s focus is to determ ine w hether technical and public ser­ vice librarians think differently.

C on feren ce / AC-9 PRECONFERENCES Tuesday through Friday, June 24–27, 1997 38th Rare Books and Manuscripts Section Preconference Rereading the Past: New Methodologies and Approaches to the History of the Book The preconference will review how research in the history o f the book has developed since the Rare Books and Manuscripts section first looked at the subject at the 1980 RBMS preconference, “Books and Society in History.” No longer the sole purview of the bibliographer and the scholar-librarian, the field has expanded in ways that many rare book librarians may not yet realize. Scholars from many disciplines have entered the field and have given new meaning and purpose to the subject o f the history o f the book, changing the way we will view the “Book Age.” How does this new scholarship affect rare book and manuscript librarians and curators? And how will it influence collection development, programming, public services, cataloging, teaching, and scholarly research? The program will look at the new history o f the book, hear some o f its most innovative scholars, examine ways in which librarians can take advantage o f this burgeoning field for their own use and development, and discuss ways o f servicing and promoting this interest. The preconference will be held at the Claremont Colleges. Advance registration deadline: May 23, 1997. $175 for ACRL members; $210 for nonmembers.

Are the library and information needs of undergraduate students represented adequately in the budget process? g. Does the undergraduate library’s person­ nel have discretion and control of its budget? h. Do staffing and budget allocations allow for long-term planning initiatives? Reassessm ent Evaluation and assessment is a continuous pro­ cess in undergraduate libraries because of the changing nature of their primary clientele and the curriculum. Communication with the over­ all library administration and with campus groups is a critical factor. In addition to these ongoing evaluation processes, the performance of undergraduate libraries should be periodi­ cally subjected to formal reviews. Reviews will vary depending on the mechanisms adopted by the parent institution. Findings from evalu­ ations should be written and widely discussed in order to solicit involvement by students, fac­ ulty, and other library units. The outcome of reviews should be a reassessment of the goals and objectives of undergraduate libraries. Re­ alistic goals and expectations of future services to be offered by undergraduate libraries should be developed. By this process, the university, the overall library system, and the undergradu­ ate library should maintain a balance between resources and mission. ■ 3 4 2 / C&RL News N elson, Step hanie W iles, and Lori Gilbert.
