College and Research Libraries information and criticism. The librarian was apprehensive when the young writers announced they were going to give the library a voice and have the building talk to a dwwsy student! But the net effect was surprisingly good. The Radio Guild provided actors as well as writers. It also provided the incidental music and other sound effects, which amounted to no small ta.sk in a one-half hour program. The program finally went through without 'difficulty. It ran twelve seconds longer than the program director had planned, thus causing the omission of the names of the actors. The reaction of the university facult y to the program was good. This was an extra compliment as the program was not planned for them. The radio series and th~ University Radio Guild both had made it clear . that this program was to present the university library to the state. Listeners who took the trouble to com- ment said they enjoyed it and that it taught them something about the university library ..

Publicity to tqe general public, and incidentally to the university administration, required a me- dium calling attention to the library with- · , out advertising specific services. The committee decided upon a s~ries of art exhibits, with stories about them in the Sunday paper, for one of the devices to accomplish their aim. Another device was a series of radio programs. 1 The writer was formerly librar ian of the University of S outh C a rolina. The first season of the university library program began on September 22 and ended thirty-seven weeks later, on June r. The 1 time was ' Saturday evening, 7 :00-7 :I 5, the statio~, WCOS, the local affiliate of the American . Broadcasting Co. · While the other two stations in Columbia also offered free time for the program, WCOS was chosen because it could schedule the broad- casts at the most convenient and favorable hour. The programs were designed to " publicize the university, the university li- brary, and libraries in general, py talks on subjects of current or enduring interest.
