FITzGERALD will become di- rector of libraries at Marquette University on January I. He has been director of Pea- body library school -a professional divi- sion of the Peabody graduate school- since August 1948. A native of Bos- ton, Dr. FitzGerald was graduated from Boston College, re- ceiving an AB de- gree in 1927 and an MA degree in 1928. Then followed more graduate work at Dr. FitzGerald Fordham University where he received his PhD in history in 1934, and at Columbia University school of library service where he received a BS de- gree in library science in 1938. Dr. FitzGerald started his library career at the secondary school level by combining his graduate study with library work and teaching at Brooklyn Preparatory School from · 1928-44 and as evening librarian at Stuyvesant High School, New York City, 1939-44. Summers from 1933-41 were spent teaching library science courses at Boston College, Georgetown and Villanova univer- sities, and from 1942-45 he taught courses in history and library science at St. John's Uni- versity. From 1944-48 he served as librarian and assistant professor of medical history at the St. Louis University school of medicine. The past fifteen years, during which Dr. FitzGerald has been director of the Peabody library school, have been eventful for the school. In 1949 the curriculum of the li- NOVEMBER 1963 Personnel brary school was strengthened and Peabody College adopted the MA as its basic library degree, and in 1955 this Peabody degree received full accreditation from the ALA Committee on Accreditation. In 1957 Peabody College adopted a new degree of specialist in education. Qualified candidates for this degre~ and for the PhD degree in subject fields (including educa- tion) may elect library science as their minor subject. Enrollment in the library school and the number of LS degrees awarded at Peabody have tripled since 1947-48. The library science library, which is a sec- tion of the Joint University Libraries, has been substantially improved by completing and binding the periodical files, by purchas- ing systematically each year pertinent new materials as published, and by employing a professionally trained librarian to administer the library. Dr. FitzGerald's service at Peabody has been interrupted by two leaves to serve as library consultant (representing the U.S. State Department) to the Republic of China and Hong Kong 1956-58, and to the Kingdom of Libya, Liberia and Sierra Leone in 1961- 63. (During these periods Frances Neel Cheney directed the Peabody library school most effectively.) While overseas Dr. Fitz- Gerald's activities included advice in plan- ning new, and remodeling old, library build- ings; advice in selecting Western books to build up teaching libraries; assistance in education for librarianship through work- shops and personal counseling; close coop- eration with official education authorities and other governmental administrators to promote the development and use of li- 511 braries; and in Taiwan advising in the se- lection of Western textbooks for translation into Chinese. Professionally, Dr. FitzGerald has been an active member of numerous organizations: ALA (president of Library Education Divi- sion, 1956-57), the AAUP, AALS, CLA (pres- ident 1939-41), MLA, SELA, and SLA. One of Dr. FitzGerald's greatest assets is his wife Julia Frances. In Nashville their home has always been generously shared with library school students and faculty members in library science and related fields. During the overseas assignments Julia helped with the workshops. In Taiwan she taught Eng- lish at the Chinese Officers' Language School and assisted in welfare activities for lepers and tubercular patients. As head of the re- serve section of the Joint University Li- braries before going to Taiwan and, since returning from Africa, as assistant in ac- quisitions, Julia has demonstrated both effi- ciency and effectiveness of a rare calibre. The FitzGeralds are a unique team char- acterized by great dedication to and identifi- cation with the schools, the persons, agencies, and cultures with which they become asso- ciated. Precious and enduring friendships enrich their lives and the lives they con tact. They will bring to Marquette a refreshing, mature competency.-A. F. Kuhlman. EDWARD MARTIN HEILIGER took up his duties as director of libraries of Florida At- lantic University, Boca Raton, Florida, on September I. This simple announce- ment does not reveal the fortunate coinci- dence of the arrival of new ideas in uni- versity librarianship and the availability of a man who fits the requirements of these new ideas. The library is to be part of the Learning · Re- sources Center of Florida Atlantic Uni- Mr. Heiliger versity and the intention of the university administration is to build up a fine tradi- tional university library in the best sense, and to facilitate it, as far as possible, with the best aspects of mechanization and auto- mation which are now becoming possible for university libraries. There will also be demands that the library participate actively in the teaching processes of the university, which will cover only the junior and senior years and graduate work. Ed Heiliger is an administrator who dele- gates authority and responsibility to his staff members, and he is an operator in the good sense of the word. He is also willing and eager to face the changing future of univer- sity librarianship with confidence and ener- gy. His move to Florida Atlantic University is another example of his willingness to in- troduce new ideas and methods and to face life in new and different situations. After graduation from the library school of Denver University, he gained experience in the public library and the Wayne Univer- sity library, both in Detroit. In 1944-45, he was the director of the American library of Nicaragua and for a three-year period after that, became the director of the newly estab- lished library school at the University of Chile in Santiago. In Chile he found it was necessary not only to develop the curricu- lum, but also to translate a large amount of the course material into Spanish. One of the results of this endeavor is his work, "Catalogacion y Clasificacion de Libros," published in 1949. After managing the De- partment of State Program of Overseas Li- braries in 1949, he spent three years as di- rector of the Bibliotheca Benjamin Franklin in Mexico City, where he expanded the mo- tion picture activities and pushed the idea of bookmobiles. The idea of regional libraries gained his full attention for the period 1954-57 when he was director of the regional library at Watertown, New York. From there he went to head the undergraduate division library of the University of Illinois on Navy Pier in Chicago, housed in quarters which were formerly the cafeteria of the Naval Training School there. Ed Heiliger was in this position when I met him in 1959. His library was faced with unusual growth requirements in the decade for which he was planning. The book col- lection, library staff, and the student body were to increase from 500 per cent to 1000 per cent in ten years. Facing the possibility that traditional methods could fail to meet the expected needs, Ed was seeking to learn 512 COLLEGE AND RESEARCH LIBRARIES whether he could meet these requirements with the aid of mechanization and automa- tion. I was in turn seeking a librarian who was willing to consider new ideas about library systems, mechanization, and automa- tion. The fortunate result of our meeting has been published under the title of Ad- vanced Data Processing in the University Li- brary, by Louis A. Schultheiss, Don S. Cul- bertson, and Edward Heiliger, published by The Scarecrow Press, 1962. This volume re- cords the results of the project which was undertaken at Navy Pier in 1961, supported by grant from the Council on Library Re- sources and for which the Information Sys- tems Section of the General Electric Com- pany performed a six months' contract. The response of Ed Heiliger's staff to the project was noteworthy. It was clear that he had been selecting his staff members with care and had been turning their thoughts towards the possibility of trying new things in their library, for they were enthusiastic and industrious beyond the call of duty in meeting the requirements which the project laid upon them. All pioneering efforts have their difficul- ties, however, and Ed Heiliger encountered some of these in his efforts to implement some of the results of the project; and he leaves some continuing efforts for accom- plishment by his successor, Frazer G. Poole, who comes to Navy Pier from the director- ship of the ALA Library Technology Project. Florida Atlantic University is fortunate in securing Mr. Heiliger for its director of li- braries, for there is virtually no other li- brarian in the country with the type of ex- perience which he can bring to bear upon the new university's problems. Mr. Heiliger is fortunate in being able to take Louis A. Schultheiss with him as his associate li- brarian, for Schultheiss gained his experi- ence as project director with Heiliger in Chicago. Members of the university library profes- sion will be watching the activities of these progressive librarians with great interest, as well as wishing them a full measure of suc- cess in their endeavors. The success of these men will lead to a better understanding and improved solutions of university library problems, and most importantly, lead to the enhanced effectiveness of university libraries within the educational structure.-C. D. Gull. NOVEMBER 1963 PERRY D. MoRRISON became college li- brarian, Sacramento State College, on July 1 after fourteen years of distinguished ser- vice on the staff of the University of Oregon library in progressively impor- tant positions. Native son of Min- nesota, . Californian by adoption, Mr. Morrison received the AB degree from Whittier College in 1942. After service in the Army of the United States, in Dr. M 01 rison which he attained the rank of captain, he returned to Whit- tier for a m·aster's degree in history in 1947. His interest in librarianship as a career, whetted by employment in the Henry E. Huntington library, led to his enrollment in the University of California school of librarianship and a BLS in 1949. Mr. Morrison joined the staff of the Uni- versity of Oregon library in 1949 as admin- istrative assistant to the librarian. His suc- cess in this position led to his appointment as head social science librarian when the divisional plan was adopted in 1950. He served in this capacity, with a two-year leave for advanced study at California cul- minating in the DLS, until 1·959 when he was given added responsibilities as assistant university librarian. The subject of his re- search for the doctorate was the career of the academic librarian; a study of the social origins, educational attainments, vocational experience, and personality characteristics of a group of American academic librarians. In addition to his administrative duties in the library, Mr. Morrison taught the lit- erature of the social sciences in the U ni- versity of Oregon's department of librarian- ship. He has been an active participant in professional organizations, on campus com- mittees, and in community affairs. He served with distinction as president of the Oregon Library Association in 1961-62. In Perry Morrison, Sacramento State Col- lege is getting a librarian who combines ad- ministrative competence with an interest in people and an aptitude for sound scholar- ship .-Carl W. Hintz. 513 After more than four years as the first di- rector of the Library Technology Project FRAZER G. PooLE has accepted the librarian- ship of the Chicago undergraduate divi- sion, University of Illinois. In these four more recent years Frazer Poole has be- come well known in the profession as a practical administra- tor with high stan- dards of operation; his appointment with the university, on the verge of a move Mr. Poole to an exciting new campus with undoubtedly explosive growth ahead of it, is a logical reflection of his experience and personal characteristics. Professor Poole, as he now will be classi- fied on the academic ladder, is a cum laude graduate of Catawba College where he later was instructor in botany and assistant regis- trar for two years. He had a semester as graduate assistant in botany at the U niver- sity of North Carolina immediately before his expected call to active duty with the Navy in 1942, and did additional graduate work in the same field at Berkeley in 1947-48. His library degree was secured at the Uni- versity of California, Berkeley, in 1949. Mr. Poole's first year as librarian was spent in the biology library on the Berkeley cam- pus. In 1950 he became assistant librarian at Santa Barbara College of the University of California. During the period from July 1950 to April 1959 Frazer, serving as assistant librarian , was really in charge for some three and a half years while the undersigned had additional temporary assignments. The cam- pus was changed from an undergraduate col- lege into a general campus, a move to a 400- acre campus from a fourteen-acre one was made, the first unit of a new building was built and equipped, and the program for a second unit was written. Frazer Poole was an active moving force in all this, and saw developments elsewhere in the University of California which he will undoubtedly see in a more compressed time span in his new po- sition. His biography would not be complete without mention of the title of a position held during 1946-47: assistant manager, qual- ity control department, H. J. Heinz Com- pany, San Francisco. There should be no need to attempt to recount here his recent accomplishments at ALA headquarters. What was initially designed as a two-year project has become an activity with high justifications for continuance, resulting in no small part from Poole's leadership. Commander Poole, as he is carried on Naval Reserve rosters, was on active duty from 1942 to 1946 in World War II, and was recalled for overseas carrier duty during the Korean War in 1950-51. His scientific bent is shown in his specialty as an aerological officer. He was trained in aerological engi- neering at the more advanced levels at the Naval Academy's postgraduate school during 1943-44. It is to be hoped that his new position will give Frazer Poole an occasional week to re- cuperate along the wild waters of some Ca- nadian river, canoeing and fishing with his attractive wife Becky and young son Glen- don.

This collection is available on interli- brary loan to interested librarians or librar- ies. The Committee on Instruction and Use, of the Junior College Library Section of ACRL, has made a study of student hand- books over the past two years. Initially, ques- tionnaires concerning library instruction and the use of library handbooks were circulated to all junior college librarians in the United States. Handbooks were requested from the responding librarians. Committee members then proceeded to study the handbooks themselves and to for- mulate standards for an "ideal" library hand- 'book for junior college students. The stan- dards dealing with format (size, reproduction techniques, etc.) and content (the card cata- log, circulation regulations, reference ser- vices) were compiled in June 1963 and made NOVEMBER 1963 available at the ALA conference in Chicago. At that time some of the handbooks, which were exceptionally well done, were displayed. Many librarians who visited the ACRL booth examined the handbooks, requested copies of the standards, and, in general, evidenced a genuine interest in the preparation and use of such library guides. For those who were not able to see the handbooks at ALA, there is now opportunity to borrow them for more leisurely examina- tion. Those that are especially recommended for comprehensiveness of coverage and dis- tinguished format include those from Flint Community College, Foothill College, Los Angeles Harbor College, Los Angeles Valley College, Pasadena City College, Stephens College, and Wright Junior College. However, the librarian who is revising a handbook, or preparing one for the first time, will find all of the handbooks very helpfuL- Alice B.
