Another con- cern for the folklore community is that no controlled vocabulary exists to permit reasonable subject access or the use of networked search and retrieval protocols. In her remarks on “Preservation of Au- dio,” Elizabeth Cohen declares that “dis- tribution is the key to preserving audio folklore collections in the twenty-first cen- tury…. In the networked world, collections may be located in a thousand places.” Both technophobia and politics hamper progress in the migration of collections from the analog to the digital domain. She presents a compelling case for data migra- tion as the “only intelligent policy” and advises the archival community to look to the data storage industry and to pay at- tention to research and development ef- forts across a variety of disciplines for the purpose of discovering new solutions and for formulating their own preservation strategies. A significant portion of her pre- sentation is devoted to current and emerg- ing technologies in data storage media. Issues surrounding rights management are clarified by Anthony Seeger in his pa- per, “Intellectual Property and Audiovi- sual Archives and Collections.” Intellectual property issues are not only legal (what people can do), but also ethical (what people should do). In consideration of the legal and ethical issues and in the interest of preservation and access, archives should review their contracts, reexamine guide- lines for evaluating proposals for use of archival materials, help researchers obtain the access they need, and help artists and communities learn about their rights. To explain why collections of commercial re- cordings and collections of unpublished recordings require different approaches, Seeger traces specific cultural biases in copyright legislation to their origins in the Enlightenment. In a brief discussion of archives and the internet, Seeger states that the tech- nology is far ahead of the archives’ abil- ity to use it, primarily because archives do not have the rights to distribute mate- rials digitally. He urges “institutions in custody of traditional materials to peri- odically conduct a systematic review of how they manage their access and use rights” and to renegotiate outdated agree- ments that do not address new media rights. The concluding discussion and recom- mendations call for continued collabora- tion and the formation of interdiscipli- nary committees and advocacy groups within the folk heritage community. The consensus affirmed, among other things, the need to “develop best practices guide- lines and standards; to develop better education and training opportunities for all community members; to develop part- nerships among the technology, corporate and entertainment sectors; to extend the reach of expertise and resources to re- gional and local levels; and to establish regional centers for preservation and dis- tributed access when appropriate.” Twenty-seven specific recommendations conclude the report.—Rashidah Z.

Lillian Castillo-Speed and the REFORMA National Conference Pub- lications Committee. Englewood, Colo.: Libraries Unlimited, 2001. 225p. $35 (ISBN 1563089459). LC 2001-38430. REFORMA, the National Association to Promote Library and Information Ser- 382 College & Research Libraries July 2002 vices to Latinos and the Spanish Speak- ing, was established in 1971 and is com- mitted to the development and improve- ment of service to the 31 million Spanish speaking and Latino people in the United States. The proceedings of REFORMA’s Second National Conference, held in Au- gust 2000, is genuine advocacy scholar- ship that informs in the context of equity and fairness. It consists of five parts: “The Power of Language,” “Latino Leader- ship,” “Issues in Latino Library Service,” “Latino Programs and Models of Ser- vice,” and “Documenting Latino Lives and Creativity,” plus an introduction and the conference’s concluding speech. Each part consists of several chapters. The foundation essay by Spanish lin- guistics scholar Sonia Ramírez Wohlmuth, “Language and Identity in Contemporary Latin American Thought,” constructs a cogent rationale for all U. S. librarians to confront issues of race and language. It is especially pertinent to aca- demic librarians who must address Wohlmuth’s challenge to collect literature in Spanish: “Literary production repre- sents the culmination of a linguistic tra- dition, a vehicle to showcase the lan- guage.” The recruitment of librarians who will be receptive to Wohlmuth’s challenge was addressed by a panel of librarian educators from accredited LIS programs: the University of Texas at Austin (Loriene Roy), UCLA (Clara Chu), the University of Arizona (Carla Stoffle), the University of South Florida (Elaine Yontz), and the ALA’s director of the Office for Accredi- tation (Ann O’Neill). Although their ob- servations were focused on serving Latinos, the discussion provides useful insights into diversity in general as it re- lates to library service and collection de- velopment. The reality of their observa- tions is reemphasized in Denice Adkins’s chapter on the effect of the “Hispanic De- mographic” on the relationship between the Hispanic population and the provi- sion of library services. Isabel Espinal wrote of applying “Whiteness Theory” to librarianship and introduced a new conceptual framework using anthropological and cultural stud- ies models. Her proposal to conduct an ethnographic study of White cultural practices in academic libraries is a pro- vocative upending of the standard dis- course on diversity. Bruce Jensen’s “The Cárcel and the Biblioteca” is a call to arms for those who recognize the value of an- thropological librarianship. In “Queer Community History and the Evidence of Desire,” Luis Alberto de la Garza and Horacio N. Roque Ramírez present the history of the Archivo Rodrigo Reyes, documenting the gay and lesbian Latino community in the San Francisco Bay Area. With compelling photos from the Archivo and a poetic narrative, the making and use of public history is ex- plored in a way that illuminates archival work. Tatiana De la Tierra provided an overview of Latina Lesbian Literary Herstory, “From Sor Juana to Days of Awe,” including a selected list of contem- porary gay and lesbian titles. The Power of Language/El poder de la palabra is a significant contribution to Latino librarianship. It provides schol- arly and emotional background for the expansion of library services across the borders of nations and types of libraries. Though several essays focus on public libraries or youth services, this volume is highly recommended for all academic collections. Not only does it offer a con- text for library service to a growing com- munity, but it also provides rich biblio- graphic and philosophical resources for cultural studies, correctional studies, queer studies, and career development. This volume reflects the theme of REFORMA President Oralia Garza de Cortés, “The Power of Language: To Learn, To Imagine, To Act,” and her call for library service built on democracy, not bureaucracy. —Kathleen de la Peña McCook, University of South Florida. << /ASCII85EncodePages false /AllowTransparency false /AutoPositionEPSFiles true /AutoRotatePages /All /Binding /Left /CalGrayProfile (Dot Gain 20%) /CalRGBProfile (sRGB IEC61966-2.1) /CalCMYKProfile (U.S. Web Coated \050SWOP\051 v2) /sRGBProfile (sRGB IEC61966-2.1) /CannotEmbedFontPolicy /Warning /CompatibilityLevel 1.3 /CompressObjects /Tags /CompressPages true /ConvertImagesToIndexed true /PassThroughJPEGImages true /CreateJobTicket false /DefaultRenderingIntent /Default /DetectBlends true /DetectCurves 0.0000 /ColorConversionStrategy /CMYK /DoThumbnails false /EmbedAllFonts true /EmbedOpenType false /ParseICCProfilesInComments true /EmbedJobOptions true /DSCReportingLevel 0 /EmitDSCWarnings false /EndPage -1 /ImageMemory 1048576 /LockDistillerParams false /MaxSubsetPct 1 /Optimize true /OPM 1 /ParseDSCComments true /ParseDSCCommentsForDocInfo true /PreserveCopyPage true /PreserveDICMYKValues true /PreserveEPSInfo true /PreserveFlatness false /PreserveHalftoneInfo true /PreserveOPIComments false /PreserveOverprintSettings true /StartPage 1 /SubsetFonts false /TransferFunctionInfo /Apply /UCRandBGInfo /Preserve /UsePrologue false /ColorSettingsFile () /AlwaysEmbed [ true ] /NeverEmbed [ true ] /AntiAliasColorImages false /CropColorImages false /ColorImageMinResolution 151 /ColorImageMinResolutionPolicy /OK /DownsampleColorImages true /ColorImageDownsampleType /Bicubic /ColorImageResolution 300 /ColorImageDepth -1 /ColorImageMinDownsampleDepth 1 /ColorImageDownsampleThreshold 1.10000 /EncodeColorImages true /ColorImageFilter /DCTEncode /AutoFilterColorImages true /ColorImageAutoFilterStrategy /JPEG /ColorACSImageDict << /QFactor 0.15 /HSamples [1 1 1 1] /VSamples [1 1 1 1] >> /ColorImageDict << /QFactor 0.15 /HSamples [1 1 1 1] /VSamples [1 1 1 1] >> /JPEG2000ColorACSImageDict << /TileWidth 256 /TileHeight 256 /Quality 30 >> /JPEG2000ColorImageDict << /TileWidth 256 /TileHeight 256 /Quality 30 >> /AntiAliasGrayImages false /CropGrayImages false /GrayImageMinResolution 151 /GrayImageMinResolutionPolicy /OK /DownsampleGrayImages true /GrayImageDownsampleType /Bicubic /GrayImageResolution 300 /GrayImageDepth -1 /GrayImageMinDownsampleDepth 2 /GrayImageDownsampleThreshold 1.10000 /EncodeGrayImages true /GrayImageFilter /DCTEncode /AutoFilterGrayImages true /GrayImageAutoFilterStrategy /JPEG /GrayACSImageDict << /QFactor 0.15 /HSamples [1 1 1 1] /VSamples [1 1 1 1] >> /GrayImageDict << /QFactor 0.15 /HSamples [1 1 1 1] /VSamples [1 1 1 1] >> /JPEG2000GrayACSImageDict << /TileWidth 256 /TileHeight 256 /Quality 30 >> /JPEG2000GrayImageDict << /TileWidth 256 /TileHeight 256 /Quality 30 >> /AntiAliasMonoImages false /CropMonoImages false /MonoImageMinResolution 600 /MonoImageMinResolutionPolicy /OK /DownsampleMonoImages true /MonoImageDownsampleType /Bicubic /MonoImageResolution 1200 /MonoImageDepth -1 /MonoImageDownsampleThreshold 1.16667 /EncodeMonoImages true /MonoImageFilter /CCITTFaxEncode /MonoImageDict << /K -1 >> /AllowPSXObjects false /CheckCompliance [ /None ] /PDFX1aCheck false /PDFX3Check false /PDFXCompliantPDFOnly false /PDFXNoTrimBoxError true /PDFXTrimBoxToMediaBoxOffset [ 0.00000 0.00000 0.00000 0.00000 ] /PDFXSetBleedBoxToMediaBox true /PDFXBleedBoxToTrimBoxOffset [ 0.00000 0.00000 0.00000 0.00000 ] /PDFXOutputIntentProfile () /PDFXOutputConditionIdentifier () /PDFXOutputCondition () /PDFXRegistryName () /PDFXTrapped /False /CreateJDFFile false /Description << /ENU (IPC Print Services, Inc.
