Bulletin 1940, No. 8.) T h i s s t u d y is the seventh of a series on the v a r i o u s aspects of the relation of the state to higher education. " I t concerns t h e fiscal control vested in the state executive officers or agencies over state universities and colleges. Practically all of the states have r e c e n t l y taken steps t o w a r d the in- creased centralization of fiscal control over the v a r i o u s u n i t s comprising the state g o v e r n m e n t a l organization in such officers or agencies. I n a s m u c h as the g o v e r n i n g b o a r d s of these institutions were originally endowed with considerable a u t o n o m y over their financial a f f a i r s the t r a n s f e r of this control to c e n t r a l state officers or agencies raises problems of far-reaching consequence to their development. (Continued on page 288) JUNE, 1941 279 PERIODICAL EXCHANGE UNION The Board of Directors of the Association of College and Reference Libraries have voted unanimously to endorse a plan for a duplicate periodical exchange union which is outlined below. This plan was published in the February 15, 1940, issue of the Li- brary Journal. Since that time seventeen libraries have agreed to try out these sug- gestions, and five other libraries have indi- cated substantial interest in the plan, if it could be put into operation. It is hoped that the plan may be initiated by July 1, 1941, and that before that time many other libraries will indicate that they are willing to give it a trial. The essential points of the plan for a periodical exchange union as approved by the Association of College and Reference Libraries are as follows: 1. Member libraries will agree to the free exchange policy, thus eliminating much record keeping and circumventing money difficulties. 2. Each library will list its duplicates, giving volume, number, and date. 3. These lists will be circulated among the participating libraries in the order of the size of their annual budget for periodi- cals. Libraries putting most money into periodicals will have priority over the others. Presumably most of the material large li- braries will need will be more rare and difficult to obtain than that desired by smaller libraries. The advantage to smaller libraries of access to duplicate material of large libraries offsets this priority of choice. 4. As these lists pass from one library to another, items required by any library will be crossed off the list by that library, and requested from the library owning them. The receiving library will pay carriage charges. Libraries will be asked to keep a record of the number of pieces of bound and unbound material sent to and received from members of the exchange union. 5. Libraries desiring to become members of the exchange union are urged to send their lists of periodical budget figures to Fisk University Library, Nashville, Tenn., Neil C. Van Deusen, librarian, as long as possible before July 1. A routing list will then be prepared by the Fisk University Library staff, and will be submitted to the American Library Association statistical staff, as a neutral agency, for checking against their records of periodical budgets. Fisk Univer- sity Library will undertake to 'mimeograph the routing sheets and to mail them to all participating libraries. Each library will then forward its list of periodical duplicates to the first library on the list, and the plan will be in operation. N E I L C .
