A Report on the Level and Rate of Book 
Theft from the Main Stacks of the Doe 
Library at the University of California, 
Berkeley. By Neal K. Kaske. Univ. Li-
braries , Univ. of California, Berkeley . 
1977. 70p. ED 165 726. MF-$0.83 ; 
HC-$3.50. 
In order to determine the extent of loss due to 

theft of books and bound journals from the main 
stacks of Doe Library, three types of inventories 
were conducted: a volume count, an item-by-item 
inventory of the D-classed materials, and three 
sample inventories. Depending on certain as-
sumptions, the results show that losses could 
range as high as 4.48 percent and that there is 
strong evidence of an increasing rate of theft. 
Recommendations for improving methodology in 
a proposed follow-up to this study are provided, 
as well as tables presenting the collected data. 
Appended are the results of the loan department 
service survey, a draft proposal for measuring the 
level of theft from the main stacks of Doe Li-
brary, and the code book for those who desire to 
obtain in machine-readable form the data col-
lected in the sample inventories.

tablish baseline data for missing materials in four 
branch libraries (education-psychology, engineer-
ing, environmental design, graduate social sci-
ences). The utilization made of these collections 
was also assessed, and additional useful informa-
tion regarding missing materials from these and 
other collections was gathered. Data ~hies pre-
sent the levels of missing materials for each collec-
tion studied, profiles of each collection, collection 
utilization statistics, and specific inventories of 
each collection. Appended are the code book for 
the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS), 
which was used to analyze the data; search forms 
for each branch ; instructions for diagnostics and 
searchers ; the inventory coding form and code 
book for education-psychology; the 1974 inven-
tory of the Moffitt Library; the 1976 and· 1977 in-
ventories of the general reference services collec-
tion at Doe Library ; and a task chart and 
schedules for the project. 

Costs of Owning, Borrowing, and Disposing 
of Periodical Publications. By Vernon E. 
Palmour and others. Arlington, Va. : Pub-
lic Research Institute. 1977. 72p. ED 165 
745. MF-$0.83; HC-$3.50. 
Working from the pr~mise that for any given 

periodical title there is some frequency of use at 
which it becomes cheaper for a library to acquire 
the publication than to borrow it, this report 
presents a mathematical model for estimating the 
costs of options associated with acquiring peri-
odicals. Cost elements included in the model are 
initial cost, annual recurring cost, internal use 
cost, internal borrowing cost, external borrowing 
cost, storage cost, disposition (weeding) cost, and 
subscription cost. The report shows how, given 
these variables , the model can determine the 
crossover or break-even point at which the cost of 
borrowing equals the cost of owning. Appendixes 
include a detailed derivation of the cost model 
and the associated computer program written in 
APL, details concerning the cost surveys, and re-
sults generated from the model helpful in answer-
ing questions concerning the acquisition , mainte-
nance, and discarding of back issues of peri-
odicals.

The report tabulates and analyzes responses to 

two questionnaires returned by 531 (out of 1,672) 
profit and nonprofit publishers of 974 (out of 
2,552) United States scholarly and research jour-
nals. Certain categories of periodicals were 
excluded because they were not believed to ordi-
narily contain communications useful for scholarly 
purposes , or they were considered to have little 
economic impact. The questionnaires dealt , 
among other things, with present practices and 
anticipated future practices after the new 
copyright law (P.L. 94-553) goes into effect on 
January 1, · 1978, with respect to the supplying of 
authorized copies directly or through agents or 
clearinghouses; permitting photocopying beyond 
the exceptions provided in the new statute; and 
acceptable prices for authorized article photo-
copying or the supplying of authorized photo-
copies . Responses are tabulated by circulation 
size, subject matter, and type of publisher. Both 
the complete journal and publisher question-
naires are provided, as well as a sample accom-
panying letter and follow-up letter. Also included 
is the National Serials Data Program (NSDP) se-
rial data sheet for publishers . 

Researching Historical Problems. An Intro-
duction to Basic Resources. By Michael 
Stuart Freeman. Hanover, N.H.: Library, 
Dartmouth College. n~d. 14p. ED 165 
766. MF-$0.83; HC-$1.67. 
The Dartmouth College Library has produced 

this slide/tape individualized instruction module 
to assist students in researching historical prob-
lems. The seventy-nine-slide lesson begins with 
methods of organizing a search and continues 
through collecting information and analyzing the 
utility of research strategy. Information sources 
cited include numerous general materials such as 
the Readers' Guide, specific resources such as 
America: History and Life, and such indexes as 
the Bibliographic Index.

Microforms: An Introduction to the De-
partment of Energy Collection, Early 
English Books Collection, and the Human 
Relations Area Files of the University of 
Oklahoma Libraries. By S. Beleu. Nor-
man: University Libraries, Univ. of Ok-

$0.83; HC-$1.67. 
Each of the three guides provides brief instruc-

tion in the use of specific indexes for locating de-
sired items in the respective collections. The 
scope of each collection is described, and then a 
step-by-step approach, us-ing examples, takes the 
reader from the selection of a topic in an appro-
priate index to the location of relevant items in 
the microform collection. Included in the guide 
to the Human Relations Area Files are a list of 
reference categories used within each culture's 
categories and tables that explain the training and 
evaluation codes in the headings of items on the 
microfiche. 

Preliminary Report on Book Losses in Li-
braries: A Pilot Opinion Survey. By 
Robert A. Daugherty and others. 1977. 
35p. ED 165 773. MF-$0.83; HC-
$2 .06. 
This study explores whether the installation of 

an electronic theft-detection device has an effect 
on the library user's attitudes about book theft 
and examines opinions and attitudes on book 
theft motivations and potential solutions to the 
problem. Basic questions posed by this study are: 
Do the same pressures exist for the whole user 
population? Are the most significant variables af-
fecting book theft internal or external to the li-
brary, or both? If both, how do these variables 

Recent Publications I 481 

interact? The theoretical framework of the re-
search isolates five major factors possibly con-
tributing to a high rate of book theft: the library , 
academic pressure, individual personality, social 
and psychological piessures, and general criminal 
framework of theft. This report discusses (1) the 
development of a questionnaire to explore library 
users' book-theft attitudes and to obtain back-
ground information about library users and the 
subpopulation of book thieves; (2) questionnaire 
distribution at two comparable academic libraries 
before and after one installed an electronic book-
theft detection device; (3) comparison of library 
inventory figures before and after that installa-
tion ; (4) statistical manipulation of survey informa-
tion; and (5) analysis of results. Appendixes in-
clude the annotated survey instrument and cross 
tabulations of significant questions between sam-
ples. 

Collection Development Policy for the john 
Vaughan Library/Learning Resources 
Center of Northeastern Oklahoma State 
University. By Mary Tressider. 1978. 
71p. ED 167 075. MF-$0.83; HC-
$3.50. 
Presenting the long-range development plan of 

the university's library collections , this' policy 
statement identifies subjects of collecting interest 
and indicates appropriate collecting levels neces-
sary to support those subjects. The major subject 
areas, arranged by academic divisions, include 
arts and letters; natural science and mathematics; 
social sciences; education and psychology; health, 
physical education, and safety; business; practical 
arts ; and special collections and records manage-
ment department. For each topic in the subject 
area, a policy statement provides (1) a statement 
of purpose, which enumerates both academic 
programs in the subject and known areas of 
interest and study; (2) general collecting 
guidelines, which define such considerations as 
languages, chronological and geographical empha-
ses or restrictions, treatment of subject, types of 
materials, and dates of publication; and (3) the 
observations and qualifications by subject subdivi-
sions for which collecting levels are recom-
mended. 

The Preservation of Leather Bindings:

scription of the entire leather book preservation 
program at Olin Library, Cornell University. 
Discussions of work flow, materials, treatment 
steps, scheduling, and recruiting student assis-
tants are included. Basic procedures, which in-
clude selection, dusting, salting, and oiling, are 
also discussed. A selected bibliography on leather 
binding preservation is appended. 

College Library Instruction/College Instruc-
tion: A Review of the Literature. By 
William J. Frost. Bloomsburg, Pa. : 
Bloomsburg State College. 1978. 27p. ED 
167 131. MF-$0.83; HC-$2.06. 
This review of sixty-four recent works concern-

ing research in library instruction at the college 
level attempts to place this research in the larger 
context of learning outcomes and instructional 
approaches for undergraduates teaching in gen-
eral. A live lecturer presenting subject overviews 
to large audiences, small student-centered discus-
sion groups, and varied instructional media will 
enhance achievement levels of students being 
taught to use college libraries. Behavioral objec-
tives· might be used to improve achievement in 
library learning, although it is less certain how 
they might improve instruction and the evalua-
tion of learning. There is slight evidence to sup-
port inferences regarding cognitive knowledge re-
tention, and none regarding the transfer of 
knowledge from use of one library tool to 
another. Sufficient information about the transfer 
of theoretical textbook knowledge to practical in-
library use is also lacking. In-house media have 
been reported efficient only on a long-term basis; 
therefore, library instruction programs, especially 
experimental ones, could benefit from use of 
commercially produced media for learning 
standard tools. 

Library Skills: A Self-Paced Workbook. By 
Patricia Gebhard and Barbara Silver. 
Santa Barbara: University Library, Univ. 
of California. 1978. 113p. ED 167 133. 
MF-$0.83; HC-$6.01. 
This workbook is the text for a self-paced, pro-

grammed one-unit course that teaches about li-
brary resources and their use at the University of 
California Santa Barbara library, a medium-sized 
academic university research library. It provides 
freshmen and incoming students with the basic 
information they need to know in order to use 
the library: (1) the kinds of services and library 
materials available and how to find them; (2) tools 
for access to these materials--catalogs, serials lists, 
indexes, and bibliographies-and techniques for 
using these tools; and (3) standard reference 
works-dictionaries, encyclopedias, biographies, 

criticism, plot summaries-and government 
documents. Topics are presented in twenty-one 
chapters with questions and operations that are to 
be performed in the library; five options are 
given so that use of the tools is split up among 
drawers or volumes . Evaluation has indicated the 
success of the course, both in instructing the stu-
dents and, perhaps of more importance for enter-
ing students, changing their attitude from ap-
prehension upon facing a complex library to the 
feeling of confidence that comes from knowing 
how to find materials and from whom to request 
assistance. 

Model Library Services for the Hearing-
Handicapped. By Theresa Carter Goss. 
1978. 71p. ED 167 163. MF-$0.83; 
HC-$3.50. 
This study of thirty-nine deaf students at St . 

Petersburg Junior College indicated that a con-
siderable number of students with hearing im-
pairments seek higher education in regular com-
munity colleges, and that many of them not only 
graduate from such institutions but also attain 
professional status in the occupational world 
commensurate with their educational achieve-
ments. It is assumed that ·providing some special 
library services in community colleges would en-
hance the chances of deaf students' achieving 
success in higher education. Special counseling 
early in high school to students with demon-
strated academic ability, special counseling and 
special library services in community colleges, 
and greater attention to the educational needs of 
students with total and moderate hearing im-
pairment are identified as three factors that influ-
ence success. It is recommended that (1) the pro-
gram be revised and put into a different format as 
videocassette tape within the next two years, (2) 
librarians broaden their resource knowledge 
through in-service programs, and (3) guidelines 
be established for developing additional special 
programs for hearing-handicapped students .

questionnaire used to solicit the data is also pro-
vided. 

A Critique of Books for College Libraries. 
2d ed. By David E . Pownall. 
Mountainside Publishing Co., Boulder, 
Colo. 1977. 49p. ED 163 889. MF-
$0.83 ; HC-Not Available from EDRS. 
The second edition of "Books for College Li-

braries, " a six-volume work listing 38,651 titles , is 
flawed , although it shows merit, and should be 
useful. Quality of selections and coverage range 
from good through excellent to superb . The pri-
mary flaws relate to the quality and extent of 
selections , particularly for such disciplines as his-
tory and literature; too few selections have been 
made among publications that appeared from the 
mid-'60s through the early '70s. The use of strict 
LC classification order makes the work difficult to 
use as a bibliography. The evidence suggests that 
even a very tightly constructed list should have 
rounded out at more than 50,000 titles to provide 
an adequate basis of support for current college 
curricula. This edition has also attempted breadth 
rather than depth with extensive coverage of 
areas not commonly taught in liberal arts col-
leges. New and useful features include the provi-
sion of complete cataloging and classification in-
formation , and the availability of all titles listed 
on MARC tapes and in the OCLC data base. The 
author and title indexes are also practical and use-
ful. A separate bibliography of over 200 new, 
additional, misclassed , or superseded titles ap-
pears at the end of this critical essay. 

Bibliographic Instruction: Defining, Or-
ganizing, and Promoting a Program. By 
Larry Hardesty. 1977. 31p. ED 163 892. 
MF-$0 .83; HC-$2.06. 
This basic discussion of the organization of bib-

liographic instruction programs in an academic 
setting includes consideration of factors involved 
in implementing an innovative program . Several 
stages in developing and organizing a systematic 
program are reviewed: creating student aware-
ness of the academic library in general, introduc-
tion to use of the major collections of the library 
through a general search strategy, introduction to 
more specialized library resources in their major 
fields of study, and teaching upper-level students 
relationships between the nature of a particular 
discipline and the nature of the organization of 
that discipline's literature. Acceptance of such a 

Recent Publications I 489 

program hinges upon the program's innovative-
ness , which is characterized by relative advan-
tage, compatibility, complexity , trialability , and 
observability. The social structure as well as the 
individual will most probably accept innovative 
programs through specific stages labeled aware-
ness , interest, evaluation, trial, and adoption.
