Four major problems have retarded development: lack of recognition of newspaper libraries, lack of qualified personnel, lack of standardization, and lack of space . De- spite these factors, newspaper libraries are ex- panding both in number and in space and scope of individual libraries. Efforts are being made to standardize practices among U. S. news- paper libraries. Many improvements are still to be mad~ and many problems remain. It is up to the newspaper librarian to help solve them.

PADDOCK, CAROLINE, 1907- Accreditation standards for the libraries of professional schools; analysis of the require- ments of twenty-two accrediting agencies. Roch- ester, N.

ACRL MICROCARD SERIES, no. 81) Thesis (M.L.S.)-Uni- versity of California, 1954. Bibliography: l. 127-139. 4 cards. $1. The standards of twenty-two recognized agen- cies which accredit professional schools were ex- amined with a view to determining the place of the library in the accreditation picture. It was found that all the agencies include the library among the areas to be considered by their visi- tation committees, but that wide variation ex- ists in the form, volume, and specificity of the various statements of standards. The study iso- lates, categorizes, and analyzes the specific re- quirements of the individual agencies pertaining to (l) library holdings, (2) use of the library, (3) quarters, (4) staff, (5) financial support, (6) hours observed, and (7) administrative organi- zation.
