College and Research Libraries 86 College & Research Libraries January 1983 formulas for shelving capacities for books, a historical overview of methods for hous- ing sound discs, and a bibliography of ap- proximately sixty monographs, theses, and periodical articles dating from 1881 to 1977. The author's figures are based on actual measurements that were made for an ex- pansion of facilities at the Indiana Univer- sity Music Library. Orchestral and choral parts were excluded from those measure- ments; they are discussed only briefly in his book. Also, materials in the Library of Congress Class MT for musical instruction and study were not measured because of the mixture of books and scores in this cat- . egory; a formula has yet to be developed. In general, the formulas that have been presented may not be completely suitable for every music library. Nonetheless, this slender, succinctly written volume should provide an invaluable preliminary step in analyzing the space needs of any music li- brary. Many music librarians have recently been confronting the problem of insuffi- cient shelf space. Ann Basart' s article, "Criteria for Weeding Books in a Univer- sity Music Library" (Music Library Associa- tion Notes 36:819-36 [1979-80]), offers guidelines for one alternative to this di- lemma of the I 1 space crunch,'' namely, the selection of books for storage or dis- carding. Now for the first time, librarians have a working model for yet another alternative-the reevaluation of music col- lections in terms of redistributed, ex- panded, or brand-new shelving areas. Mr. Fling certainly deserves to be congratu- lated for this landmark in music librarianship.-Victor Cardell, Yale Univer- sity Music Library.

Library Instruction in California Aca- demic Libraries: The State of the Art. By Kathleen Coleman and Esther Gras- sian. 1980. 24p. ED 215 675. MF-$0.83; PC-$1.82. This comparison of the results of two surveys of library instruction programs in California ac- ademic libraries, conducted in 1974 and in 1980 by the California Clearinghouse on Library In- struction, includes discussions of the number of survey returns by library type; teaching methods used for library instruction; materials used to teach course-related instruction, formal credit courses, self-paced cre(iit instruction, and noncredit instruction; libraries by type in 1980 reporting instructional activities such as self-guided tours and library handbooks; and use of audiovisual media by library type. These survey results are also compared with those of two national surveys reported by Project LOEX (Library Orientation/Instruction Exchange) in 1973 and in 1979. Eleven tables and four refer- ences are provided, as well as a copy of the 1980 questionnaire and a list of nine commercially published texts used in library instruction courses. A Method for Correcting Typographical Errors in Subject Headings in OCLC Records. Research Report by OCLC On- line Computer Library Center, Inc., Dublin, Ohio. By Edward T. O'Neill and Rao Aluri. 1980. 31p. ED 215 680. MF-$0.83; PC-$3.32. The error-correcting algorithm described was constructed to examine subject headings in on- line catalog records for common errors such as omission, addition, substitution, and transpo- sitional errors, and to make needed changes. Essentially, the algorithm searches the author- ity file for a record whose primary key exactly matches the test key. If an exact match is not found, the algorithm identifies records in the authority file, first with the same initial charac- ters, or if that is unsuccessful, with similar end- ings. The heading is then examined to see if by making simple changes, it can be modified to match a valid record in the authority file. If no match can be found, even after modification, it is then assumed that the heading is one of ques- tionable validity-being either a valid heading with no corresponding record in the author file or an invalid heading containing extensive er- rors. The algorithm separates the subject head- ings into groups of valid headings, corrected headings, and questionable headings that re- quire manual examination. Provided are one ta- ble, five figures, and twenty-one references. Emerging Personnel Requirements in Aca- demic Libraries as Reflected in Recent Position Announcements. By David Block. 1980. 17p. ED 215 703. MF- $0.83; PC-$1.82. This study of the personnel requirements and hiring patterns of academic libraries draws on data collected from academic-library position announcements issued nationwide during the fourth quarter of 1980. Data on 224 announce- ments were analyzed using the Statistical Pack- age for the Social Sciences, and the resulting statistics are interpreted as a means of describ- ing facets of the contemporary job market-its positions and salaries, geographical distribu- tion, and required skills for technical services, public services, administrative, and other posi- tions. Traditional positions, principally in cata- loging and reference, account for the majority of the listings, and requested skills in the physi- cal sciences, business, mathematics, and com- puter applications were found to be conspicu- ous by their absence. Six tables display the data discussed in the report, and eight references are listed. Report of the Task Force on Reorganiza- tion. Paley Library. Temple University, Philadelphia, Pa. 1980. 106p. Ed 214 493. MF-$0.83; PC-$7.82. A self-examination of the Central Library Sys- tem (CLS) at Temple University was under- taken by a task force made up of staff members to examine the current organizational structure in the light of technological, financial, curricu- lar, enrollment, and library service consider- ations, as well as such organizational concerns as work flow, appropriate staffing, and report- ing relationships. Each library department was asked for a description of its operations, includ- ing an organizational chart, and a master orga- nization chart for CLS was prepared based on these data. Additional information on the back- Recent Publications 87 ground of the CLS was assembled by the task force, and the structure of four libraries at uni- versities comparable to Temple was examined. Data on the individual departments were ana- lyzed in terms of strengths and weaknesses and interviews were held with each department along with library administrators to discuss the findings. In the design phase, emphasis was placed on two main problems: one relating to the organization of functions, and the other to the structure of library administration. Design options were discussed with cooperating con- sultants, and three alternative organization plans were developed which comprise the ma- jor part of this report. Financing Online Search Services in Pub- licly Supported Libraries. The Report of an ALA Survey. By Mary Jo Lynch. Chi- cago, Ill.: American Library Associa- tion, 1981. 60p. ED 215 704. MF-$0.83; PC-$4.82. In May 1981 the American Library Associa- tion (ALA) conducted a survey to determine how online search services are financed in pub- licly supported libraries and in libraries in non- profit organizations. The survey questionnaire was prepared by the ALA Office for Research (OFR), and three vendors of online services- BRS, Lockheed, and SOC-mailed the surveys to their subscribers in the population of inter- est. Completed questionnaires were returned by 985 libraries and processed by the Library Research Center at the University of illinois at Urbana-Champaign. The survey provides data on decisions made by publicly supported li- braries on such questions as whether or not to charge for online services, how many searches are performed per year, and what factors should be considered in deciding hDw to fi- nance online services . Data are summarized in eighteen tables . Appended are the question- naire and its covering letter, the ALA position statement on free access to information, a sup- plemental report on free structures by Susan Bonzi, and a review of the related literature. A thirty-seven-item reference list is provided. User Surveys and Evaluation of Library Services. SPEC Kit #71. Washington, D. C.: Association of Research Libraries, 1981. 116p. ED 214 541.

Faculty Perceptions of Librarians: A Sur- vey. By John Budd and Patricia Coutant. 1981. 31p. ED 215 697. MF-$0.83; PC- $3.32. In the fall semester of 1981, librarians at the Sims Memorial Library of Southeastern Louisi- ana University (SLU) surveyed the faculty of the university to ascertain their perceptions of the status and professional contributions of li- brarians. Of the 264 questionnaires sent out to faculty at the four major colleges (business, ed- ucation, humanities, and science and technol- ogy), 137 were returned completed, represent- ing a response rate of 51.9 percent. Responses were analyzed for each major college according to the rank of the respondents (i.e., professor, associate professor, assistant professor, or in- structor). The questionnaire was modeled after an instrument developed at Southern Illinois University, Carbondale (SIU-C), covering such topics as the frequency of library use by faculty members, the importance of librarians as assis- tants in research and teaching, whether or not librarians should conduct research, what type(s) of research librarians should conduct, and whether librarians should be granted full faculty status. It was found that a majority of faculty view librarians as professionals and that most of those surveyed felt that librarians should be granted faculty status. Data are pre- sented in twelve tables, and a reference list and twenty-five-item bibliography are attached. Computer-Based National Information Systems. Technology and Public Policy Issues.

By Charles R. McClure. 1981. 15p. ED 213 403. MF-$0.83; PC-$1.82. The proposed research project is designed to better understand the impact of organizational information processing variables on other orga- nizational variables such as the organizational climate. A brief summary of the research re- lated to organizational information processing and climate is followed by a suggested research design to study information processing and cli- mate in academic and public libraries. Follow- ing the specific hypotheses for the project, the paper concludes by noting that such research will assist investigators to identify organiza- tional climate contingencies where information variables are maximized/minimized, to de- scribe the effect of various informational proc- essing variables on specific aspects of organiza- tional climate, and to develop models to predict the effect of information processing and organi- zational climate on overall organizational effec- tiveness. Included are twenty reference notes.

Development of a Computerized System to Catalog and Book Videotapes. By Rich- ard Lee Brunk. 1981. 74p. ED 215 663. MF-$0.83; PC-$4.82. The purpose of this project was to develop a computerized videotape catalog and booking system to serve school personnel in the 109 schools of Pinellas County, Florida. This sys- tem was designed to eliminate manual file maintenance, decrease time spent in booking, shipping, and receiving videotapes, and reduce the cost of producing and updating videotape catalogs. Results of the interviews and survey conducted during the six-month period follow- ing the introduction of the system indicated that booking procedures were simplified and confirmations were made more rapidly. Profes- sional staff time involved in manual file mainte- nance was eliminated, and booking, shipping, and receiving time was reduced. The respon- dents to the questionnaire provided evidence that the videotape microfiche catalog and book- ing system were more effective than the manual system, and production costs for the new mi- crofiche catalog were less than for the previous catalogs. This system was adopted for perma- nent use in the Pinellas County School District. Twenty-two references are listed . Subject Access in the Online Catalog. By Pauline A. Cochrane. OCLC Online Computer Library Center, Inc., Dublin, Ohio. 1982. lOp. ED 215 686. MF-$0.83; PC-$1.82. This essay focuses on use of the Library of Congress subject headings in online catalogs for the retrieval of information by subject. Among the topics addressed are differences among catalog forms (card, microform, and computer); user interface with different forms of catalog; the types of subject indexes em- ployed in present online catalogs; and factors to be considered in designing future online cata- log systems, including several desirable fea- tures not provided by current systems. Accom- panying the essay are seven figures, three tables, and a fourteen-item reference list. Online Services in Some Academic, Public and Special Libraries: A State-of-the- Art Report. Occasional Paper Number 151. By Marcy Murphy. University of Il- linois, Urbana. Graduate School of Li- brary Science. 1981. 25p. ED 213 407. MF-$0.83; PC-not available from EDRS. A survey of more than 200 academic, public, and special libraries in thirteen selected states was conducted in the fall of 1979 to provide a state-of-the-art report on online or computer- ized reference services. Libraries were selected from states that had demonstrated leadership in networking, and data were sought in four ar- eas: (1) users of online information, (2) suppli- ers of those services, (3) training and retraining of searchers, and (4) funding patterns. Of the 192 libraries that responded, 91 offered com- puterized reference service-35 academic, 16 public, and 40 special libraries. Findings indi- cate that: (1) the technical-professional commu- nity received the most service, followed by graduate students, faculty, and undergraduate students; (2) in decreasing order, Lockheed, the System Development Corporation, and the Bibliographic Retrieval Service were the major vendors; and (3) these vendors trained most of the users, who are primarily the professional staff in all types of libraries, to search online. In the area of funding patterns, it was found that most academic and public libraries recovered at least partial costs from their clients, and fees were rarely charged in special libraries. The questionnaire is appended. Two figures and twenty-two references are provided. Slide Library of the History of Art Depart- ment, Cornell University: Classifica- tion and Retrieval System. By Judith Nemethy. 1981. 56p. ED 215 681. MF- $0.83; PC-$4.82. A study was conducted to develop a retrieval system for slides in the History of Art Collection at Cornell University to make it more consistent and easier for patrons from other academic dis- ciplines to use than the system currently in use. To determine whether slide library systems at Recent Publications 93 other institutions could be adapted to the His- tory of Art Department's needs, five systems were examined: (1) the International Museum of Photography at the George Eastman House; (2) the Smithsonian Institutions's National Col- lection of Fine Arts (NCF A) Slide and Photo- graphic Archives; (3) the Santa Cruz Classifica- tion System; ( 4) the slide library of Cornell University's College of Architecture, Art, and Planning; and (5) the slide classification scheme of Stanford University's Art Department. Based on such criteria as adaptability to machine-readable classification and the subject terminology used, the NCFA system was se- lected to test a sample of approximately 250 slides by assigning them to subject categories.lt was found that NCFA is applicable, with some modifications, to the History of Art Depart- ment's slides of paintings, graphic arts, and sculpture. Recommendations for reorganizing the slide library include adapting general filing procedures and indexing the slides by subject. A twenty-two-item bibliography and three ap- pendixes, one a prototypical thesaurus, are provided. Salary Compensation Systems for Librari- ans: A Study of Ten Members of the As- sociation of Research Libraries. Occa- sional Paper Number Five. By William G. Jones. Washington, D.C.: Associa- tion of Research Libraries, 1981. 29p. ED 214 542. MF-$0.83; PC-not available fromEDRS. This paper presents the results of a review of professional compensation systems in anum- ber of major academic libraries which was con- ducted in order to advance the understanding of librarian compensation and to help libraries choose and develop systems that best promote librarians' interests. The systems of compensa- tion identified during the review are briefly de- scribed, including free form, professional rank- ing, position classification, and mixed. As background to the discussion, the most com- mon industrial compensation systems are re- viewed . An outline of professional compensa- tion systems are reviewed . An outline of professional compensation methods, specifi- cally position description, standard job evalua- tion, generic classification, the career-curve ap- proach, and the individual contribution approach, is also provided. The salary compen- sation systems represented by libraries contrib- uting information to the study are then dis- cussed in detail, with special attention paid to professional ranking with and without subdivi- sions and to position classification as in the fed- eral system. Among major issues reviewed are 94 College & Research Libraries January 1983 institutional and financial constraints on library compensation systems, the use of merit review procedures, job value, and alternate reward systems. A nine-item reference list is included. Boston College Libraries: Systems, Ser- vices, Resources. By Rhoda K. Chan- ning and John C. Stalker, editors. 1982. 49p. ED 216 693. MF-$0.83; PC-$3.32. Prepared to inform and update Boston Col- lege faculty and administrative personnel on the impact of automation and resource sharing on the Boston College library system and the services it provides, this report contains sec- tions on: OCLC and its interlibrary loan subsys- tem; the consortia in which the Boston College libraries participate; present and future serials handling systems at Boston College; the totally integrated automated system anticipated for the new central library (including a public on- line catalog); and the relationship of faculty re- search and teaching needs to collection devel- opment, media services, bibliographic instruction programs, and special collections. The emphasis throughout is on the evolution of systems and services to aid faculty in teaching and research. Included are numerous illustra- tions, a glossary of library terms, and a direc- tory of Boston College library personnel.
