     summary: If the past decade has offered to this imperfect world convincing evidence of the wisdom of the old adage, it is perhaps equally important that we accept as a corollary its reverse and devote ourselves now to the proposition that in time of war we should prepare for peace. Libraries, which have splendidly demon- strated their particular uses in war, are primarily instruments for the preservation and widening of the ways of peace.

     summary: It is also our busi- ness to squash the pumpkins who think they would like library work because they would always rather read than study or work. Selection of student assistants by tlte librarian through a year's training and the rotation of library tasks to give famili- arity with as many phases of library work as possible have been the outstanding fea- tures of our program.

In the words of the author the purpose of the study has been to discover the scope of the subject content of the present output of the publishing offices of the SEPTEMBER, 1943 United States government and to trace the trend of subject emphasis in govern- ment publications since the turn of the century.

T h e plan is sufficiently flexible to cover the many variations in library organizations which exist even in institutions of com- parable size and function.

Several results are immediately apparent: the increase of the available book and periodical collections to include the holdings of the public library; the fact that the public library reading rooms offer additional space; the increase of trained help by public library assistants in securing materials.

The latter solution is in line with our expectation that Russian books will become less and less a special preserve and more and more used for their subject content by persons other than Slavic specialists, but it gives rise to a number of problems. ·.

     summary: T HIS ARTICLE reports a study of college society libraries in the nineteenth cen­ tury and was undertaken to provide a supplementary chapter in the history of the American college library. That the society libraries were of value not only to the students, but an intrinsic ally, appears in certain passages taken from his­ tories relating to colleges for which printed society library catalogs could not be found or were not available for interlibrary loan.

     summary: T HE LITERATURE regarding the principles of bibliographical citation is quite ex­ tensive, and it is not the purpose of this paper to repeat what has already been stated but to make an attempt to clarify some of the precepts regarding this very important prob­ lem. Undoubtedly the clearest explanation of the principles of bibliographical citation was outlined by J. F. Fulton1 in his excellent ·paper on this very subject.

     summary: Ancient and out-of-date maps will assume a new importance in his concep­ tion of history, and the present world conflict, with its inevitable geographic upheavals, will be seen as merely another chapter in Mr. Wroth's story, which is the very ancient, uni­ versal struggle for world conquest, the history of which can best be understood by means of maps and charts. As the story unfolds we learn how rumor was followed by exploration, which in turn led to maps and charts, crude and distorted at · first, subjects of bitter con­ troversies and disastrous voyages, until grad­ ually the facts were sifted to form the basis of accurate documents on which navigators and potentates could depend.

     summary: Brief reviews of the establishment and mean­ ing of the university centers led quickly to discussions of research work done in the South, the relative strength of supporting university libraries, the wasteful duplication of acquisitions and unwise competition, and, ultimately, the inadequate financial support of college and university libraries within the region. If the South is to build and maintain ade­ quate university libraries for advanced in­ struction and research, it must, as Library Resources and Graduate W or_k recommends, make use of every opportunity for concerted library action, especially on the upper levels.

     summary: The British dominions are a magnificent field for British books, but the tour of British publishers through Canada in 1943 showed not only that British editions were difficult-and in many cases impossible-to obtain but that the small type and wartime format forced upon publishers by present conditions had op- erated adversely to England and in favor of books published in the U njted States. Even no~ many books are being pub- lished and many plans are being laid for the immediate resumption of a free and vigorous publishing campaign as soon as postwar conditions will allow it.

The science of communication should gradually push back the curtain of the unknown, not only in the selection of print and other types of library materials, but also in readers advisory services and in other edu- cational uses of print.

     summary: In working out an order of occurrence within each set of thirty worksheets for the three sizes ~f type and for the six possible sequences (small-medium, small-large, me- dium-small, medium-large, large-small, and large-medium)' it was important to avoid any regularly recurring rhythms to which 452 COLLEGE AND RESEARCH LIBRARIES the subjects' eyes might adjust in a way that might mask the effects - of size differences. In commenting on the reduction of the full-size 8-point type also used on L.C. cards, Luckiesh reports: The equivalent type-size of the reproduc- tions varies from 4· 5 to 5. 7 as determined by measurements of relative visibility ....

     summary: Nevertheless, the professor and others w h o oppose the levying of such charges can find comfort in the fact that three of the librarians w h o were consulted are, in principle, opposed to charging interlibrary loan costs to bor- rowers. These factors have conspired to increase the burden on university libraries in a staggering geometrical progression.

     summary: Despite every effort to advance national unity, particularly in the early days of the republic, through the achievement of cultural independence, American life in almost all of its phases, economic, political, and social, has always been fundamentally derivative. Recognizing that such a treatment can have no pretense to finality, the editor of the volume here re- viewed speaks with a disarming candor of his objectives: to seek merely to define the prob- lem, to describe the basic forms of cultural impact and assimilation, to trace something of their history in American life, and to sur- JANUARY, 1946 95 vey or illustrate their more manifest effects (p. vi).

In the winter of 1942-43, James Bryant Conant, president of Harvard University, ap- pointed a committee of twelve members from the faculty on general education in a free society and secured an appropriation from the Harvard corporation of sixty thousand dollars to meet the expenses incurred by the committee in the conduct of a study of gen- e r a l education.

     summary: In this way, we believe that in a very real sense we can help raise the level of library service in academic and scholarly libraries. Cory has expressed a desire to develop the library's services along two principal channels: ex- panded general library services, primarily for the undergraduate user; and specialized services for the graduate students, faculty members, and other research users of the Uni- versity of California Library.

Dunlap merely points to an incipient interest in American history (it was much earlier and much more vigorous than he indicates), to the need for preserving his- torical sources, to the absence of research libraries, and to the requirement of establish- ing new agencies—hence the formation of his- torical societies.

     summary: Library schools, says the author, are trying to do too much in one year. And we cannot expect library school graduates to possess strong subject specialization and real scholarship, even in face of an unfilled de- mand for such people, because the library schools generally do not develop such charac- teristics in their students, in part due to the fact that programs of instruction are insuf- ficiently integrated with the offerings of other departments on the campus.

     summary: 134P. (Mimeographed) The criticism has been advanced that the literature of library surveys, relatively new as it is, has already fallen into a r u t ; that each new survey merely repeats the same old patterns; and that if you have read one, you have read all. Another criticism which has been directed toward library surveys is that, in the final analysis, all of them resolve themselves into a plea (variously supported) for in- creased financial support.

Of the factors which have set university education back, one, the author states, is the loss to research of many of the more mature faculty members who, misled by a misguided patriot- ism, had entered the armed forces or had engaged in some kind of war work.

The tabulated results of a questionnaire (see Table) recently sent out by the Columbia University Libraries for the purpo,se of organizing and fostering this exchange program indicates that the three major forms of exchange material used by college and university libraries are journals, university published serials (mono- graphic), and dissertations (whole or in abstract).

     summary: The clientele of public libraries does not usually include scientists who hope to obtain from such libraries access to special source material of the kind found in current science periodicals, comprehensive encyclo- pedias, and the like. There is another reason for not having some of the services given by industrial libraries: SOIJle scientists feel, largely ' because of tradi- tion, that there is no wholly adequate substi- tute for being their own research survey librarians.

American research libraries, of course, have always been fully aware of the need for importing foreign publications.

     summary: The use of assistant directors in the Columbia libraries is explained by a desire to keep the span of control for the unified organization within manageable limits and 'the desire, at the same time, to have the strength of the combined staff measure up to the equivalent of the strength of two staffs if they stood separately, one for the libraries and one for the school of library service. The second stage was one when the director of libraries was also the dean of the school of library service and when he was sup- ported on the library sine by a libnrian in direct charge of the daily operations of the libraries.

     summary: During the recent years of war, when we were forced to reconsider the value of education and to ask what we cherished and what we deplored in our national life, there was an almost Messianic revival of the be- lief in the power of liberal education and much intense study by university and col- lege faculties of how it could be restored to a more vital part in college education. This was the education of the few, and it combined, as the work of the university still combines liberal education in the arts ' . and professional training in the higher sub- jects.

        date: 1947
       words: 1375
      flesch: 53

The size and complexity of the modern university library, with its resources scat- tered in many branch libraries and special collections, often embracing overlapping sub- ject fields, has created the well-recognized problem of how to impart to the research worker knowledge essential to the location and use of his materials.

Brown further reported that practi- cally all member libraries had expressed a wish to receive lists of duplicates available at member libraries and that, with two or three exceptions all member libraries had such du- plicates for exchange.

     summary: 2 Last winter the writer made such an ex- amination of acquisition work in ten eastern college libraries to discover what procedures for the book purchasing are cur- rently employed, what results are obtained, what routines may be designated as the most satisfactory, and what differentiation, if any, is made in college libraries between profes- sional and nonprofessional functions of the acquisition department. If the error in esti- mating was comparable in other libraries, there is validity in the suggestion made in the quotation with which this paper opened.

     summary: The evidence in these reports indicates that standards for junior college libraries need to be raised in other official accreditation regions and in California. According to a Nov. 22, 1947, re- lease from the U. S. Bureau of Labor Sta- tistics, the rise in food prices has brought the food index for September 1947 to 203.5 per cent of the 1935-39 average.10 These conditions are directly responsible for the considerable turnover of staffs in junior college libraries.

This allows the reproduction of more than I I square feet, corresponding to about I 5 newspaper- pages or I 50 pages of a reference book of customary size, plus extra space for the title, on one piece of cut film.

Bulletin and issuing divisional quarterlies, the committee refrain from polling A.C.R.L. membership as sug- gested in their report to the board on June 14; that all libraries subscribing to more than one copy receive the additional sub- scriptions at a reduction of fifty cents for each subscription after the first; and that the committee receive an allotment of $6o for the purpose of furthering its work.

     summary: Pres- ident McEwen is certainly correct in say- ing5 that any complete acceptance of college librarians as full colleagues must await proof that the librarians are genuine participants in the shared interests of the faculty in teaching and research. Emphasis should be, to quote once more from President McEwen's letter, on securing for college library staffs more men and women who are themselves edu- cators in some real sense, who are in college library work not because they are librarians, but because it is the library part of the college program which particularly appeals to them.

A word may be added for the value of th~ library for the few, for those who are seeking to reformulate the philoso- phy of history and culture, of science and religion.

In order to take care of the reconcilia- tion of actual costs with estimated costs at the end of each quarter of the fiscal year, all the cards in the orders and receipts file are rearranged by fund, the items received are eliminated, and the remaining cards consist of orders which are still outstanding.

     summary: In libraries having official catalogs, the alphabetical function of the in-process catalog will be assumed by both the official and public catalogs, for no library can any longer deprive its clientele of books just because they have not been permanently cataloged and classified, or justify the witholding of temporary cards from the public while at the same time providing them for th e use of the staff. The adoption of the system by large catalog departments will make possible the elimination of the expensive in-proc~ss catalog.

     summary: We are indebted to Raymond Swank for a penetrating analysis of the two common ways of preparing a subject approach to library materials. Except for a certain breadth of approach, these two subjects are not as divergent as they might at first appear because analysis of the big problems of reference service indicates that they are directly related to the big problems of ref- erence and research libraries.

     summary: Confronted by this chaotic state of British documentation, and urging a coordinated sys- tem of special libraries in science and tech- nology, Mr. Bradford reaches the climax of his argument in his proposals for a plan for complete scientific documentation throughout the scholarly world. Ad- mittedly Mr. Bradford is primarily concerned with a classification of the literature ) rather than a shelf arrangement of books which of necessity is largely predetermined by their physical format.

     summary: Confronted by this chaotic state of British documentation, and urging a coordinated sys- tem of special libraries in science and tech- nology, Mr. Bradford reaches the climax of his argument in his proposals for a plan for complete scientific documentation throughout the scholarly world. This program urges the development of an international network of existing agencies concerned with indexing and abstracting of scientific literature, each agency operating in its own clearly defined area and transferring to the others all materials rele- vant to their particular fields.

     summary: The first of these was to acquaint librarians with the thinking and experience of three men who knew a great deal about rare books and the problems of caring for them in university libraries. University libraries are collectors, different in many respects, of course, from the private collector but often moved by the same impulse to buy and quite as often impoverished for the same reason .

Such lectures, such talks, do much to break down the illusions regarding rare book collections which, in the long run, do them much harm, although the appeal of exclusiveness does on many an occasion pay dividends, particularly in terms of the wealthy book-collector.

This article will include none of the ma- terials or findings relating directly to the thesis itself, but will merely record some rather general impressions and observations of Scandinavian libraries and librarianship.

The list of librarians from the United States who have acted as consultants in the reorganization of libraries, or professors in library schools, or directors of libraries and who have thereby contributed to the de- velopment of libraries in Latin America is by now an impressive one.

     summary: Until a system for national bibliographical control which will provide both a listing of hold- ings and of works produced in a given coun- try on a current basis together with a yet- to-be-determined minimum of subject in- dexing by every nation, large _or small, at whatever stage of development, is devised, accepted and instituted, the major research libraries of the world will have to continue to provide as much bibliographical service as they possibly can to the entire world. The Library of Congress Bibliographical Planning Group has been asked to pay spe- cial attention to regional needs for improved bibliographical services, and to the improve- ment of bibliographical services in those sub- ject areas in which adequate services are lacking at present.

     summary: As junior colleges build and adopt soundly constructed salary schedules, their librar- ians should be prepared to participate m determining objectively the factors to be taken into account in such a schedule, at least insofar as library positions are con- cerned. The third factor is the size of staffs in junior college libraries.

     summary: Esp.ecially as library buildings approach their limits of size and manageability such matters grow mo r e and more pressing, and appear with greater persistence upon the door- steps of librarians. After treating broadly various considerations which bear upon the relation of an architect, it stresses skill, imagination, cooperativeness and in- tegrity as the all-important qualifications in an individual or firm , thus rating them above experience and expertness in the construction of library buildings.

It seems to me doubtful whether anyone could build up a coherent, reasonably complete pic- ture of the world of ancient books without consulting the studies of Birt, Sir E. M. Thompson, Sir Frederic G. Kenyon, Schubart, Wattenbach and the many other authorities in the field, and I am sure Mr. Pinner knows their work.

     summary: T h e problem of bibliographic control in the sciences is to make certain that when a scientist needs to know what has already been done and thought regarding any topic whatever, he can be given quickly the per- tinent references, not only those for material in his own library, but also for those appearing in any existing publication. T h e publication under review, however, is one which contains such a mine of information that it merits con- sideration and study.

     summary: Since Chinese characters have under- gone many changes from the time they were inscribed on bones, a knowledge of .present- day Chinese characters would not be suf- ficient. Articles on the classification and catalog- ing of publications in Chinese which have appeared recently in professional publica- tions have involved special schemes of classi- fication and the maintenance of a staff with a reading knowledge of Chinese.

     summary: The report also summarized discussions at the first meeting of the committee in the Library of Congress on May 10 and II, dealing with such topics as library support of science; adequate, high- speed bibliographical service for government ·research; compensation for the burdens im- posed on libraries by federal research con- tracts; area study programs and their sup- port; medical and agricultural library service; public documents; and engineering. Grounds of Federal Support for Research Libraries The Library of Congress presented a report setting forth two possible grounds for Federal support of research libraries, namely that such libraries render service to agencies of the Federal government and that the research resources of the country as held by such libraries constitute a national resource which it is in the national interest to sustain and develop.

     summary: Through constant review of such data, an alert super- visor will detect major changes in the work output of his group and determine what steps may be required to maintain economical performance, e.g., by decreasing personnel, rearranging assignments, smooth- ing out fluctuations in workload, etc. 3· Morale Control There is no gainsaying the fact that quality control and cost control are pre- dominantly dependent upon the attitude, 1 loyalty and enthusiasm of the staff, both ~ndividually and as a group. Management controls may be defined as those techniques by which supervisors evalu- ate the performance of their organization and its procedures.

It is conceivable that if subject analysis could be made amenable to mechanization and if the necessary tools could be devised rapidly enough, the whole nexus of information- dispensing in libraries might undergo simultaneous revolution.

     summary: Although we speak of the study of politics as political science, there is considerable difference of opinion among political scientists as to whether their scholarly discipline has actually reached the status of a science. Whether political science is as yet a full- fledged science or a science-in-the-making does not affect the fact that the reference library is the laboratory of the political scientist.

     summary: There are ideological considerations here which I do not wish to go into , but the reader might be interested in noting that the really tremendous increase in the sale of university press books in the last two decades has been in effect a means of gammg wide public financial support for scholarly publishing. Far too much power, for the public good, is exercised by this particular section of the country-in radio, television, magazines, newspapers, the theater, and book publishing.

     summary: Still another welcome sign is the growing emphasis on writing library history from broad source materials rather than from a compound of reminiscence as has been too often the woeful approach in this field. However, were all professional factors favorable, there would still remain tall barriers standing in the way of thorough re- search in library history and biography by reason of the fact that source materials are generally elusive and unavailable.

     summary: The experience of most agencies and in- stitutions operating classified report libraries has evolved two successful methods for the administration and housing of a complete library service. Within the limits of restricted and confidential classifications, it could be demonstrated that participation of the university library would advance research and at the same time pro- vide for classified reports stronger security protection than the individual scientist op- erating by himself can give.

     summary: In any case, catalog trays were out of use for a brief time only. In a catalog as extensive as the one under con- sideration it would be helpful to have a measuring scale (in inches only) stamped on the outer right side or along the top edge of that side of each tray, to save the necessity of picking up and positioning a ruler, both in the process of estimating and of apportioning tray contents later.

Punched Cards adds little, if anything, by way of new or unusual thinking; indeed, some may be annoyed by the rather airy dis- missal of topics which have baffied experts in classification for years.

It is said that libraries will, and should, continue to be _as complete as their individual resources will permit, that they can solve the problem either at the national or regional level through co- operation ·in storage and acquisition, that inter- library loan is not an adequate substitute for immediate access, that the importance of im- mediate access is tangible but quantitatively and qualitatively unknown, that the solution is not one of contraction in collecting and services, but greater public recognition and support, that federal and industrial support of large research libraries may be a partial an- swer, that the relation of collections to bibli- ography-local, regional, national, subject-is important, but imperfectly understood.

     summary: [1948]): (I) what we don't 396 COLLEGE AND RESEARCH LIBRARIES know about professional education in each and all of its aspects far exceeds what we know; (2) the problems and possibly the solutions are not much different as between the profes- sions; ( 3) we may be expecting far too much to happen to a student in one, two or even three years of professional study even though in addition to four years of college; (4) the librarians have done no worse and may well be doing better than average for the profes- sions including those with a longer experience such as Law, Medicine, and Theology; ( 5) meaningful improvements are likely to come slowly and then only if the importance of the task is recognized by the profession as a whole and in terms of substantial time, effort and energy devoted to it.-Richard H. Logsdon, Columbia, University Libraries. This study of social work education was OCTOBER, 1952 done with the assistance of Alice L. Taylor, training consultant, Bureau of Public Assist- ance, Federal Security Agency, and in consul- tation with many others in the field of higher education in general and social work educa- tion in particular.

     summary: Public librarians have had the stimulating experience over the last several years of look- ing at themselves as others see them. It is fascinating, if not vital, to know that most of the librarians queried would again choose librarianship, that they went into li- brary work because they liked books and people, that male librarians rate highest on the career potential scale as musicians, and that 87% read for recreation.

This list appeared annually until 1938, but an impor- tant qualification of its research value was the premise on which it was compiled : T h e list contains only the dissertations received by the Library of Congress, and is not, therefore, to be considered in every instance a complete list of dissertations issued at a given university.

     summary: Thompson's carefully planned Evo- lution of the American Public Library, a work calculated to paint a picture of the modern American public library as it emerges from the convergence of two channels which, flow- ing from the Renaissance and Reformation, were constantly broadening and deepening: 208 COLLEGE AND RESEARCH LIBRARIES one, the cultural channel, which moved toward the increase of knowledge, higher edu- cation, and large libraries of and for scholars, bibliophiles and literary men; the other, the popular channel originating in the church, which ultimately promoted a wider diffusion of knowledge. Nevertheless, this is a useful and welcome volume for the student of library history.

     summary: So few of the students ever do take a book out of the library that in moments of despair I sometimes wonder if the $37.00 average per student operating expenditure for university libraries would not be more im- mediately appreciated if it were spent yearly in books to be given to each student. Both of us failed to ac- complish our assignment, largely because each of us served only a year, and because too much of our time was taken up by teaching or by other university library problems.

     summary: It pointed out that the reason why so many librarians of research institutions are as yet relatively unaware of the staggeringly high cost of their book storage is that, in the extremely misleading forms of accounting which libraries are now following, book storage costs are almost entirely con- cealed costs. In other words, book storage cost alone is so extremely large a proportion of all book costs that, in the vast majority of cases, it alone outweighs all microtext costs.

In some of the review articles which I have contributed from time to time to C&RL, continental books have been given a good deal of attention.

     summary: During the sample periods the li- brary processed 91% of all domestic invoices within 14 days, as compared with 83% of all foreign invoices within the same interval; and, within 20 days, 95% of domestic invoices as compared with 91% of foreign invoices. Substituting these known values in the formula suggested above, the time-allowances that can safely be permitted are found to be 23 days for domestic invoices and 18 days for foreign invoices.

As a comment upon this, I would say that as long as under- graduates and beginning graduate students find United Nations material to be of use to them in their work, certainly such a service would not be amiss.

     summary: If this were nothing more than a handbook of Farmington Plan practice, it would have even greater utility than the modest disclaimer in the Introduction which suggests that it may be of some use to Farmington Plan dealers and their advisers, to the sixty-two participating libraries, to those who wish to locate recent foreign books in order to borrow them or obtain photographic copies, and to others who are interested in library coopera- tion and resources for research. the Plan brought in over 50,000 volumes, so already a large body of material that might reasonably be expected to interest a research worker in the United States has been added to the country's collections.

     summary: It represents the experience of an ex- cellent library staff working in conjunction with a first rate liberal arts faculty in the determination of book selection policy and the actual selection of books. The method of book selection for the La- mont collection is described in some detail in an article entitled The Selection of Books for Lamont, by Edwin E. Williams.2 The subse- quent refinement of the original lists and the limitations and general coverage of the pres- ent Catalogue are briefly but simply set forth in the introduction to the Catalogue.

In other cases, variations from ALA rules and Library of Congress practice are indicated, with suggestions to catalogers in Catholic libraries for bringing these entries into conformity with Catholic usage, as for Biblical and Apocryphal Books of the Bible (though we note here that those Books not included in the Catholic canon would be treated as anonymous classics and entered under accepted names).

In other cases, variations from ALA rules and Library of Congress practice are indicated, with suggestions to catalogers in Catholic libraries for bringing these entries into conformity with Catholic usage, as for Biblical and Apocryphal Books of the Bible (though we note here that those Books not included in the Catholic canon would be treated as anonymous classics and entered under accepted names).

     summary: To write library history in terms of a changing pattern of library functions and objectives, and to relate those changes to the forces in our society which produced them would give to the evolution of the library as a social agency a new depth and meaning, but the study here reviewed does not provide the richness that it might have evinced. Subject Classification: A Comment Anent Dr. Mortimer Taube's very inform- ative and entertaining review, in the October 1953 issue of C & RL of Henry Evelyn Bliss' Bibliographic Classification, I think it is about time that someone came to the defense of shelf classifications in libraries.

An introductory chapter, The Practice of Reference, treats very briefly the place of reference work in library organization, with definitions and explanations of the six com- ponent functions.

     summary: Because a library may be judged as su- perior or mediocre by its success or deficiency in public relations policies, and because the literature on this subject is found only oc- casionally in the form of journal articles or among the closing pages of books on library administration, it is necessary for those seek- ing enlightenment in this vital area to reach out to other fields and to their experts. Li- brary school students equipped with this text, together with Constance Winchell's Guide to Reference Books for reference use, and M a r - garet Hutchins' fine Introduction to Reference Work, cited frequently in the reading lists, for a much more extended treatment of the principles and methods of reference work, are fortunate indeed.

     summary: When the author states, for example, that there is a growing relationship between com- pany profitability and understanding, with a subsequent increase in public relations think- ing, the librarian need only substitute In- creased Appropriations for Profitability and add Cooperation to Understanding to feel affected by the discussion of that sub- ject. The error made most frequently is to as- sume that public relations need only be used for matters warranting a newspaper story.

     summary: T h e library is, or should be, one of the major administrative units of the institution. T h e cold fact is that a well-operated college or university library is just as de- pendent upon its students and faculty as a public library is dependent upon the citizens of its community.1 T h e academic library has some advantage in the fact that a larger proportion of its users has specific reason for being there, but a captive audience has the prerogative of going to sleep.

     summary: T h e question whether the catalog should serve as a reference tool, in contrast to a finding list, implies that it might be made to provide certain information apart from MAY, 1956 213 that which it must include as a record of the materials in the library; if so, what information should the catalog provide? T h e question which the college and university librarian must therefore decide is whether he would con- sider the catalog adequate if a student or member of the faculty looking for a work under a given name and title cited in some source would fail to find that the library has that work, or another edition of it, under another name of the author or under another title.

Within the limits of the individual library's definition of 'cler- ical worker,' the situation seems to indi- cate that many libraries are using pro- fessionally trained personnel to perform clerical or subprofessional tasks.

     summary: Since general books on the subject of cotton in a small library usually cover at least two of these facets, it is better for them to have the subject confined to one class, say 633.5, with the possible exception of straight bo- tanical works, which it probably won't have anyway. While it is true that all classifiers will agree on the class for most books, many classifiers will disagree on the class of many books, re- gardless of the editors' intentions.

     summary: However, the fact remains that the only continuing g o o d of the guide cards is that they require slightly less clerical attention, and, on the g o o d housekeeping side, they appear to keep catalog cards looking cleaner. Of all the unfortunate things readers will choose to remember, the worst is the un-truism: T h e catalog lists all the books in the library by author, subject and title.

      flesch: 63
     summary: Such a project of card catalog revision was begun at Luther College Library, Decorah, Iowa, in the fall of 1953, be- cause there was a feeling that the catalog was not serving as well as it could and should in aiding the college students, li- brarians, and other faculty members in locating library materials. T h e catalog is n o w more accurate and complete because some er- rors in cataloging, typing, and filing have been eliminated.

     summary: The basic criticism of the Prussian In- structions, which gave rise to the demand for their revision, is that they were designed by grammarians for grammarians and that, whatever their merit may once have been, the principle of grammatical structure which underlies their method of catalog entry is not suited to present-day catalogers, present- day readers, and even present-day books. The au- thors state: Modern automatic equipment is able to scan and recognize index entries . . .

     summary: American libraries are also branching out into foreign fields. In some instances, no doubt, there have been gadget-happy individuals at work, people who are convinced that the book in its orthodox shape is obsolete, and determined to convert the whole great world of library materials into a microcosm.

     summary: The third minimum requirement-that of providing a consultation and steering service on Government scientific reports -is being met within the Foundation's Office of Scientific Information in a sec- tion called Government Research Infor- mation Clearinghouse. In the Foundation's thinking, satisfying this ob- jective requires as a minimum that sci- entists be provided with three services: I. Automatic announcement of the bulk of Government research reports by means of a bulletin or other medium to which they can subscribe; this service should list available reports, indicate how copies can be obtained, and, if possible, provide abstracts or annotations.

There have been brief articles on Australiana, Jack Lon- don a~ a Collectible Author, Eleven Ways to Spot a Forgery, Benjamin Franklin: American Book Collector, 1706-1956, and numerous others.

     summary: It should be evident, therefore, that unified bibliographical control over this variety of publishing forms is really the _ problem, and the difficulty is not caused by any form of informational freakish- ness which should force librarians or sci- entists to turn to machine storage in order to gain access to the material they need. Vannevar Bush is at his most imagi- native when he outlines how machines might hurdle this biggest of problems: When the user is building a trail, he names it, inserts the name in his code book, and taps it out on his keyboard.

Significant variations in the structure and in the organization of catalogs and in cataloging practices are found in special libraries and documen- tation centers with their collections of special types of materials, and their ob- ligation to serve a special public wi'th predetermined needs and interests.

A quick review of recent buildings reveals such a wide vari- ety of sizes that it is bewildering to know Theoretically a library will want a mod- how these were arrived at-and why.

     summary: Books by Labor Leaders Generally speaking, books written by labor leaders are easier to purchase than are those by the theorists, for the reasons that most were published more recently and in circumstances that insure survi- val. An unusual item is the 1860 book on labor unions written by T. J. Dunning, declared by the Webbs to be the best exposition of trade unionism by a working man.

     summary: In 1951, pursuant to a recommendation of the Western German Librarians' Com- mittee on Dissertations and Microfilms (Verein Deutscher Bibliothekare, Kom- mission fiir Dissertations- und Mikro- filmfragen; chairman, Dr. Bauhuis), it was decided to change the distribution of the five copies as follows: two copies to the respective university library (one of them for interlibrary loan or for the respective Landesbibliothek), one copy to the Deutsche Bibliothek at Frankfurt/ Main as Western German center, one copy to the Deutsche Biicherei at Leip- zig as bibliographical center of all Ger- man dissertations, and one copy to the University Library at Berlin (East) as the historical collecting point for disser- tations. U nfor- tunately, not all Western German uni- versity libraries follow the recommended distribution, and therefore the Deutsche Bibliothek at Frankfurt/ Main does not receive all German dissertations.

Furthermore, the right of users to make private use of copyright materials, whether in the original or photocopy, is barely touched upon.

     summary: In the last few years there has been some serious questioning of the expan- sion of university libraries, but at New York University it has been pointed out that un- questionably the over-all instructional pro- gram would be improved if better library fa- cilities were available. It would be unrealistic for this in- stitution to attempt to duplicate the largest libraries, but it is essential that there be suf- ficient books, seating and stack space, and professional library assistance to meet the needs of a varied and sound professional pro- gram.

But, alas, our British colleagues take a dim view of women in librarian- ship.

     summary: Its use as a checklist for evaluating and detecting gaps in book collections is outstanding since it contains three times as many titles as the Shaw volumes; furthermore, as Philip J. McNiff, librarian of the La- mont Library, notes in his introduction to it, the Lamont catalog has distinctive value as an actual, working list rather than an ideal, theoretical listing of books. The faculty has been responsible for Lamont book selection.

Brewer, John M. Harlan (the first) , Horace H. Lurton , Stanley Matthews, Joseph McKenna, John McKinley, Samuel F. Miller, William Strong, and William B. Woods.

     summary: It is very likely the most complete and painstaking book of filing rules ever published, and the copious examples in conspicuous bold-face type explain in detail whatever the text of the rules may have left in doubt. In a foreword, John Cronin, Director of the Processing Department, explains that this printed and bound book of rules origi- nated in a loose-leaf edition for the Library staff, begun by James K. Boyland, revised by several committees .. and compiled into a comprehensive code by the late Linn R. Blanchard.

What we need, I think , much more than devices, are the methods by which we can test the success or failure of our procedure by purely objective tech- niques, so far as scientific method has en- abled good researchers to rid themselves of preconceptions and protect themselves from unseen bias.

The forthcoming publication of the first work in Spanish on reference books, by Josefa Emilia Sabor, librarian of the Faculty of Philosophy and Letters at Buenos Aires, should stimulate further interest in this area of librarianship. .

     summary: These papers from the Graduate Library School Conference treat the subject of cata- log code revision from various points of view; the historical background (Ruth French Strout and Paul S. Dunkin), gen- eral considerations on the function and con- tent of catalog entries (Richard S. Angell), problems in applying catalog codes (Her- man H. Henkle and Benjamin A. Custer), the cost of cataloging (Raynard C. Swank), developments in other countries (Andrew D. Osborn and Arthur H. Chaplin), and the present state of code revision in the United States (Seymour Lubetzky and Wyllis E. Wright). The papers by Strout and Dunkin trace the history of catalog codes from 2000 B.c. to the present.

     summary: i s , we believe, will require eventually the development of branch libraries for certain professional schools now happily served by existing branches or in the main building, and this will lead to the need for duplicating materials now shared by many in some central location. Although we estimate that the emphasis on re- search and professional education at the University at Berkeley will bear power- fully on the library organization, we must not neglect the calculation that within, say, the next five years we shall have on the campus between 4,000 and 5,000 more undergraduate students who will not—as graduate and professional students tend to do—distribute them- selves over a series of branch libraries, but will work in the commoner materials usually found in a central library build- ing.

     summary: There are, of course, times for caution, but it would seem that the over- all objectives of National Library Week are so closely related to what college and research libraries are out to accomplish that we might safely venture, in larger numbers, to give it active support. A distinctive feature of National Library Week is that it brings together into one program essentially all of the major agencies concerned with reading for information and education.

     summary: In any event, it is more than conceivable not only that any sound answers will affect the work of reference librarians in the ways suggested above; but also they could easily involve, say, the overthrow of our traditional hierarchical classification schemes. T h e list of academic libraries represent- ed at the conference includes the Aus- tralian National University and the Uni- versity of the Witwatersrand.

     summary: Preliminary chapters treat the characteristics and evaluation of reference works, use of libraries, techniques of term paper research, etc. Finally, for any level of reference work beyond the most elementary, it is more than surprising to find no refer- ence to any national bibliographies, except partial coverage for the United States.—

        date: 1959
       words: 1342
      flesch: 49
     summary: This monograph on Columbia libraries evolved from and was part of a patently sincere and critical investigation recently undertaken to answer questions on the edu- cational future of Columbia University. Using almost every source available to those who investigate modern library opera- tions—personal knowledge and observations; records, reports, and memoranda from the libraries and administrative offices; observa- tions, opinions, and knowledge of faculty, university officers, and students—the authors have examined in some detail the major problems that confront Columbia libraries.

       words: 1353
      flesch: 49
     summary: Though the authors do not say co- operate or smother, a credo is enunciated: It is the firm belief of the Subcommittee that many of the library problems of Co- lumbia University are similar to those of other large research libraries, and that local expedients alone will not solve them com- pletely. In the ten years from 1945-46 to 1955- 56 the expenditures for Columbia libraries increased 106 per cent, but the total per- centage of the university budget for library service decreased from 5.64 per cent to 5.25 per cent.

     summary: $7.50. Americans engaged in research on any as- pect of Romance language or literature will find it worthwhile to examine Professor Flasche's Romance Languages and Liter- atures as Presented in German Doctoral Dis- sertations. Approximately 4,030 dissertations on Romance studies from Ger- man universities (including Strassburg to 1918 and Austrian universities from 1938 to 1945) are listed according to a well-designed, detailed subject arrangement and indexed by author and subject.

     summary: The educational backgrounds of 8,459 persons were examined, 1,491 pretested questionnaires were mailed and replies were received from approximately two-thirds of this group, fifty-one colleges and universities were selected for study, and five major fac- tors were identified which had influenced respondents for certain institutions to enter the library profession. Other weaknesses would include the use of library staff members as interviewers, and having these interviewers consciously select their respondents according to their own in- dividual judgments as to the representative- ness of the sample being obtained.

     summary: A partial answer at least is supplied by comparing three general studies (gen- eral as applying to many institutions and as opposed to the study of a particular library personnel program) included in this A C R L monograph: Gelfand's 1949 survey of library staffs in fifty eastern liberal arts colleges, Lundy's 1951 study of faculty status for li- brarians in thirty-five representative univer- sities, and Downs's 1957 survey, the most recent of its kind, of the current status of library staffs in 115 major universities. Dr. Downs's 1957 survey of librarian status in 115 leading universities shows that 54 per cent of the universities grant faculty status to librarians, with or without specific faculty ranking.

T h e limitations of conferences of this kind in terms of valid research achievement are obvious.

Errors were made in both respects, of course, that will be avoided in newer libraries and a number of problems have not yet been perfectly solved.

It must be a laboratory—a place in which students, instructors, and books come together under pleasant and informal surround- ings and under conditions conducive to productive scholarship and intimate fac- ulty-student-librarian relationships.

     summary: I I is given to a topical and chrono- logical account of American paperback pub- lishing between 1939 and 1957, including an account of the government's entrance into the paperback field (in cooperation with the 252 COLLEGE AND RESEARCH LIBRARIES Council on Books in Wartime) with its Armed Services Editions, those convenient and well-chosen books which made bearable the inevitable and interminable military formation, waiting in line; the textbooks published for the Armed Forces Institute; and Overseas Editions, Inc., a joint govern- ment and private enterprise project which made possible the widespread distribution of cheap books in the liberated areas of Europe and Asia late in the war. There is a whole generation of readers today which must take completely for granted the profusion of paperback books on sale in drug stores, subway and bus stations, supermarkets, and other places likely and unlikely.

     summary: A t the A L A meeting in Kansas City, June 1957, the A C R L Board of Directors authorized the committee to proceed with the preparation of the new standards for college libraries. Since there appears to be a correlation between the growth of the student body and the growth of the collec- tion, there is a convenient measure based upon observation of the development of college libraries, which may serve as a guide: up to 600 students, 50,000 volumes; for every additional 200 students, 10,000 vol- umes.

     summary: Tradition, leadership, and special circum- stances in each state have been different, thereby accounting for the variations in the practices and policies of off-campus services of state university libraries. Among state university libraries, there is still the feeling of great responsibility toward the residents of their states, but a determined effort not to duplicate serv- ices which local and state libraries can provide.

These circumstances combined lead to the following situation: a large propor- tion of all U.S. scientists and engineers are interested in the content of Soviet publication in their fields, but only a small percentage of this large group can read Russian; conversely only a small proportion of social scientists and hu- manists are interested in following So- viet developments in their disciplines, but of those who are interested in get- SEPTEMBER 1959 347 ting at the content of Soviet publications a very high percentage can read Rus- sian.1

I have insisted in my dealings with Soviet libraries that in any large volume trades they must be competitive not with the most expensive book deal- ers in the West but with more moderate book dealers and with going rates in the West for collections of Russian books.

     summary: T h e students are, for the most part, the product of the city's high schools, and must have received an 84 per cent high school average to be eligible for admission. T h e students fell down on such questions as which reference book among a choice would best supply information on Raleigh, Swift, and Caxton, the importance and location of the index volume of the En- cyclopaedia Britannica, the period cov- ered by Poole's Index to Periodical Lit- erature, etc. T h e catalog was the third obstacle.

     summary: First, he sum- marizes the literature of the subject and finds that earlier studies, although isolated and scattered, make a devasting picture of the inadequacies of book reviewing. Despite these limitations and the more serious ones noted above, it should be emphasized that book reviewing is so much a part of the li- brarian's work that encouragement should be given to studies of it in its various phases.

T o advert to personalities: T h e dean is the most important single factor in developing the collection and rendering reasonably satisfactory service—and this whether the library is autonomous (as most law school libraries are to some ex- tent) or integrated (as some of the largest and best are).

T h e consultant will, of course, follow each stage of the project through to completion and, if all goes well, he may occupy a seat in the back row at the li- brary dedication and he will share in the pleasure of seeing a j o b well done.

     summary: T h e entries are not being checked for uniformity with the Library of Congress Catalog, though entries which obviously deviate from A L A cata- loging rules or Library of Congress prac- tice are being modified. As a result of the demonstrated value of the published National Union Cata- log which began to appear in 1956 and of the fact that the 1952-1955 imprint file formed a compact, separate union catalog which would readily lend itself to efficient editing and publication, the Subcommittee on the National Union Catalog of the A L A Committee on Re- sources of American Libraries decided in 1959 to sponsor the publication of this 1952-1955 segment as a second step in the hoped-for undertaking which may some day give us the whole vast retro- spective National Union Catalog in con- venient printed form.

      flesch: 53
     summary: The realistic facts of the problem of book selection in university libraries are: (1) no one person is competent to select individual titles on a broad general basis; (2) the volume of publication is so great that there must be some form of selection; (3) no library has the funds to acquire, the personnel to process, and the space to shelve everything that ap- pears; and (4) who can predict what may be significant for future research in the deluge of preserved information? These are but a few examples of the multiplicity of problems involved in book selection in university libraries.

Among other things, it discusses the important concept of role indicators, which, from one way of looking at it, may be thought of as the coordinate indexing machine system answer to subhead- ings, which of themselves are irrelevant within the context of such systems.

     summary: The author expresses conviction that division of catalogs may lead to the harmonious shift to printed catalogs for subjects for older portions of the collec- tion; and similarly penetrating observations are made under the other topics discussed. As a consequence, three proposals are made for further study-one a statistical study of entry duplication in divided catalogs of vari- ous sizes; a second to test a three-way split into authors, subjects, and titles; and the third an experiment in the horizontal di- vision of the catalog by date periods.

     summary: but it is also a valuable complement to the catalogs--M. Porcher points out the relations between groups of manuscripts and connects book painting with contemporary influences, theological and political as well as artistic. M. Porcher associates the development of book painting in the Romanesque period with the state of learning in the monasteries, and in the Gothic period with the patronage of the nobility and a literate laity.

     summary: T h e library can hardly fulfill its proper role as a dynamic, living organ- ism capable of growing to meet multiple demands, without the life blood of strong financial backing. Seldom is any specific provi- sion made, in the many rich research grants, for library materials and services, lacking which the planned investigations would be seriously handicapped if not brought to a complete standstill.

     summary: Instead, I prefer to begin with the more logical beginning—the absence of reference service. Reference service is so much a com- monplace of present-day American li- brary practice that many of us have tended to regard it as an inherent ele- ment of librarianship, something that was always done, something whose place in the library order of things is more or less settled.

     summary: T h e reports themselves con- tain an enormous amount of information for any given publication: what volumes, issues an I indexes are out of print; what the in-print parts cost; what discounts are allowed to dealers; what current sub- scriptions cost, although we do not han- dle subscriptions at all; in some few cases, inventory figures for the in-print parts; a schedule of dates for all previously published volumes; all pertinent biblio- graphical information, including title changes, suspensions, number of issues per volume, general indexes published, and even the disposition of the title-page- index. T h e reason is, simply, that every title and virtually every volume within that title carries predetermined purchase and sales prices.

     summary: I O N S T h e arguments in the literature for separate collections apply most strongly to federal documents, where a mass of complicated and unwieldy material can be handled efficiently by a system of printed catalogs and classification. Thus, the librarians with separate col- lections for federal documents tended strongly to that other types of documents should also be separate from the library's general collection.

     summary: T h e r e was, on the one hand, some thought that the recent experiences of American university li- braries would be of interest to the Ital- ians, and, on the other hand, it was quite clear that most of us in the United States have been quite ignorant of the present status of Italian university libraries. In addition to visiting university libraries in the cities already mentioned, I was able also to have detailed tours of the universities of Modena, Bologna, Pavia, and Florence.

     summary: Assuming, then, that the sequence of student library experiences will be im- plemented only to the extent that the faculty understands and accepts the ob- jective it is designed to achieve, what relationships in our structure can we use to persuade instructors to under- stand our concept and accept it as a valid objective? T h e student is required to read an autobiography and to analyze the process of ego identi- fication of its subject in terms of a frame- work provided in one of the readings in his syllabus.

Yet in the already disadvan- tageous context of the college situation, it cannot but reinforce the inferior sta- tus according to staff librarians.

Students may help in stimulating the reading of other students by selecting a week end shelf of books to recommend to their fellow students, by preparing a list of popular reading books in various fields, by getting comments on books students like, by getting students to vote on their favorite books, or by getting students to suggest books for purchase for recreational reading.

Hence, librarians interested in developing a carefully planned selec- tion policy cannot find information in the literature in actual practice in li- braries where divisional reading rooms are maintained.

     summary: T h e choice of subject headings within the Guide is entirely acceptable once the reader recognizes that the compilers have selected them on a firmly pragmatic basis—that is, on the basis of the subject covered by the par- ticular classification scheme or subject head- ing list in hand—rather than, as with a pre- structured list of subject headings, in accord with the terms and relationships of a desig- nated field of knowledge. T h e function of university adult educa- tion, in the opinion of the Petersens, is edu- cation (and legitimately, though usually to a small degree, research); it is not making money or public relations or social service or therapy or recreation.

Refer- ence versus circulating books in public libraries, books for the graduate level versus the undergraduate, mean that the holdings are divided into two separate units or special collections.

     summary: T h e disposable library idea should aid in elevating the status of the librar- ian by eliminating some of the fussiness of circulation that is becoming increas- ingly annoying, and obscures the true professional role of the librarian. T h e r e is a strik- ing need for some way to increase drasti- cally the quality of college libraries, especially in 'have not' institutions, par- ticularly for the benefit of the minority of talented students present in all col- leges who desperately need access to in- creased library resources.

     summary: But the com- mercial slogan of Feed and Weed will bring us nearer to earth in dealing with the very practical, everyday problems of maintaining a well-used book collection, and give, hopefully, to the old, familiar and worn truisms of book selection a fresh pertinence, a basic and workable philosophy of action. May I indicate from the start that this paper is not a manual on book selection and readers' services, but some considera- tion of a way we can approach these tasks.

     summary: Sub- ject headings were brought up to date through the basic list and supplements; the flow of books through cataloging routine was reviewed; decisions written on slips of paper were coordinated, re- viewed and typed in readable form on sheets; sample book cards, pockets, and sets of catalog cards were assembled. Of course, problem books (for example, books with- out Library of Congress cards, and books requiring special handling because of a conflict in the shelf-list) were shunted off to the regular cataloger who stood by to answer questions and generally supervise the work of the visiting catalogers.

Even though freedom is not the only cherished value in our society, it is an essential one, and for the librarian it ought to be a fundamental consideration in the formulation of library policies and decisions.

     summary: Comparisons between classroom teach- ing staff and professional library staff un- der present conditions, as to research and publication, is unrealistic because of dif- ferences in free time available. Professional librarians should be eligi- ble for appointment to the traditional ranks and titles of instructor, assistant professor, associate professor, and pro- fessor.

     summary: In unit sales, paperback publishers can produce staggering statistics, but in dollar volume and profit, their efforts are often pitiful. At the same time that the teacher can now select his supplementary and col- lateral reading from the rich fare offered by paperback publishers, he will come to exercise the same discretionary con- trol of the paperback as he has already exercised over the clothbound textbook.

     summary: However, there are still many books ava~lable to the collector, and I do not agree with those who say that all the worthwhile books have been gobbled up by these American and Brit- ish institutions, thus threatening to ruin the old-book market and removing the incentive that used to inspire the acquisi- tive collector. We are adding to it, under Mr. Shaw's guidance, buying more books as our resources permit, and Mr. Shaw matches what we do with purchases which he immediately adds to his gift.

     summary: On March 17, 1961, the restriction on Chinese books was slightly relaxed, when President Kennedy ordered the end of an interception system under which the Customs Bureau had withheld or destroyed Communist propaganda sent to the United States from behind the Iron Curtain. In addition to the continual listing of a monthly list of Chinese publications the journal carries scholarly articles, ab- stracts, and a selected list of Chinese publications arranged by the Dewey deci- mal system.

     summary: In an age witnessing an overwhelming pro- liferation of scientific knowledge, with its elaborate structure and complicated system of communication, any attempt on the part of one man to write a history of one phase of this complex, namely the publication of scientific periodicals, would be as Herculean a task as the attempts to develop systematic control of scientific literature have proven to be. The problems and patterns of production de- scribed are typical of more than just the pub- lication of scientific journals.

        date: 1963
       words: 4263
      flesch: 52
     summary: An incidental merit to this solution is that it would simplify the placement of secondary works dealing with indi- vidual works in that such works would readily file (or shelve) next to all single presentations of the works with which they deal. Secondary works of the first kind are usually divided into those dealing with individual works, those dealing with groups of an author's works, and those dealing with his works as a whole or nearly so-the distinction be- tween the second and third classes being less usual than the distinction between the first and the others.

     summary: Although note taking methods vary with the individual and sometimes with the type of project, most researchers em- ploy some system involving the use of cards. Also affected by growing area pro- grams is the availability of staff work space, increased reference and circula- tion work, and the inevitable increase in the number of undergraduate courses in the areas concerned, involving the ob- of the outline, a rod is inserted in the ap- propriate numbered hole in the stack of cards and is then raised.

     summary: Careful systems planning is essen- tial before mechanization should be at- tempted; the compelling necessity of a national system of libraries should be recognized in planning for mechaniza- tion as it has been recognized in the planning of conventional libraries. This is not to say that there was una- nimity on all counts; there was frequent difference of opinion expressed on how to attain the goal, on what steps in at- taining it should enjoy priority over what other steps, and the relative im- portance of the many areas of prospec- tive improvement in library services.

     summary: There are two drawbacks to the ~se of such languages, however: (1) there IS no generally accepted single symbolic lan- guage, so that the investigator must at pres- ent learn a number of languages if he is un- certain of the computer he may have to use; (2) since symbolic languages are used in so many ways by so many fields, they tend to grow rather rapidly and to become unman- ageable. The present book represents an at- tempt to solve many of the problems inher- ent in computer languages by an interna- tional symposium.

     summary: · Special needs of users: Students need direct access to a small and well selected collection of library materials, with a minimum of physical and psychological restraint, conditions which are attrac- tive and conducive to study, long open hours, and a mature and respected pro- fessional staff. Hypothesis: There are three levels of library use in an academic and research institution: (1) college level-the stu- dent's library, for the beginning student engaged in general education and in ac- quiring background for specific disci- plines; (2) university level-the ma- turing scholar's library, for the develop- ing scholar and specialist, emphasizing a subject field or area, providing syn- thesis and an introduction to research; and (3) research level-for the ad- vanced graduate, faculty member, and research staff concerned with the exten- sion or application of knowledge pro- viding the necessary intellectual support for research.

     summary: Later to have great historic significance in the de- velopment of rare book libraries in the United States, this paper was published the same year in the Library journal under the title Safeguarding Rare and Expensive Books in University and Ref- erence Libraries. Dr. Byrd has sug- gested that this renaissance of interest in rare book libraries has come about for a number of reasons: ... the practice of open stack access for stu- dents and staff has made it imperative to protect from this great body of users the more expensive, hard to replace, and fragile books,.

      flesch: 45
     summary: It would seem that disputes of this kind will ulti- mately force academic librarians to seek some way of demonstrating the logic in William Kornhauser's injunction that the tension between the integration and autonomy of professional groups ... tends to insure a more effective structure than is attained where they are isolated from one another or where one absorbs the other. As research grows in importance and as the role of t?e librarian in the successful prosecu- tiOn of research becomes more vital, it would be folly for academic librarians to estrange themselves from the teaching faculty simply because they were not willing to make concessions which, in the end, might have only negligible ef- fect on the preservation of professional autonomy.

     summary: The growing masses of students besieg- ing academic institutions, the current trend toward greater library use by stu- dents and the concomitant inability of libraries to keep up with these demands because of budget and staff limitations, are other factors cited which should deter libraries from allowing their books to lie unused and forgotten in faculty mem- bers' bookcases. · College and Research Libraries have books out for such a long time (fif- teen years at one college library) that they have frequently forgotten , about them, or the books have become part of their office fixtures.

     summary: Some thirteen hundred items (books, period- ical articles, graduate theses, and court deci- sions) are listed in a classified arrangement, with an index of authors, editors, cases, and book titles. Format resembles that of the pub- lisher's Encyclopedia of American Associa- tions (Supplement 3C4) and is easy to use, but the volume is considerably bulkier and 45 more expensive than Ash, Subject Collec- tions (Supplement 3B13); this somewhat overlaps the latter but does not duplicate it, includes many libraries not in Ash (and vice versa), and is, of course, more recent.

     summary: For example, he justifies the limiting of memberships by independent societies on the grounds that this will reduce the total cost of membership benefits, but he caustically applies the term togetherness to the efforts of other soci- eties to attract a large membership and thereby reduce the unit costs of these bene- fits. He does not criticize the independent societies for not taking advantage of new developments in the graphic arts in the publication of their scholarly journals, but he applies the term popularizing to other societies that have used illustrations, artwork, color, and even 63 magazine format in the attempt to secure a wider reading audience.

     summary: Since the odds of success are obviously better if we have more books; we raise all the money we can to acquire and house all the books we can. But had they been preserved, I am sure that complaints were made about the catalog engraved upqn the walls of the library at Edfu in Egypt, 2 and that the Babylonian Amid-anu, who lived some seventeen hundred years be- fore Christ and is perhaps the first li- brarian whose name is recorded, had to give ear from time to time to unhappy scholars who wanted to rearrange the clay tablets in their own-conflicting- systems.3 For it seems to be a library axiom that no arrangement of books can please all of the people all of the time.

Fur- thermore, the Mark Osterlin library has become one of the few authorized outlets for Eskimo art in America.

     summary: With the development of inexpensive and rapid methods of photocopying it is possible for libraries to keep research materials where they are available to their own students and faculty and at the same time enable them to meet the growing demands from other libraries for materials. A mathematical model now between 8 and 10 per cent complete, SCUL is expected to aid in determining for that system an optimum level of user satisfaction for the money spent upon library service.

Since department heads do not uni- formly know of all of the outside activi- ties or contributions of individual staff members that should be recognized and considered in recommending salary ad- justments, each academic staff member is asked, on this form, to list such items as his publications, courses taken, commit- tee work, talks given, and other appro- priate activities or special projects he has undertaken during the past year that are relevant to the appraisal of his perform- ance and development.

     summary: In 1909 the preface to a Department of Ag- riculture report on papers for permanent records said: In view of the great value to mankind of the results of scientific research and discovery achieved and pub- lished in the various bureaus of the gov- ernment; and in view of the fact that the paper on which these results are now published is ·highly perishable [and in 1964 is obviously perishing], its life in many instances being only a few years, we urgently recommend that the neces- sary steps be taken to secure the printing on durable paper of at least part of the edition of each publication of lasting 11 Conference of Italian Librarians, Library Jour- nal, LXXIII (December 1898), 667. The more important of these, so far as concerns this country, may be noted in chronological order, thus: esparto, in the period 1860-70; 'mechanical wood' or ground wood pulp, in 1870-80; the wood celluloses, in the period 1880-90.13 After finding that such factors as illuminating gas, acidity in the instance of mid-century rag papers, and oxidation in the instance of mechan- ical wood pulp, were involved in dete- rioration, 14 the committee enumerated four classes, or qualities, of papermaking fibers and described specifications for book papers to be used in publications of presumably permanent value.

     summary: Con- veniently grouping schoolbooks under the various disciplines they represented-prim- ers, elocution manuals, copybooks, rhetorics, general and mental science texts, etc.-the author briefly discusses progress in the writ- ing of each from its beginning in this coun- try to the early twentieth century, relating interesting facts and anecdotes about au- thors, book use, schoolbook adoption, and giving even occasional personal commen- tary upon the appropriateness of a particular volume or style, or speculating upon the pro- spective future of the genre. Librarians who have been privileged to examine prospective gift collections of books in lofts, smokehouses, and garrets, are well acquainted with the slender little volumes, bound in overprinted olive, tan, or blue boards, that constituted early American schoolbooks.

     summary: The high cost of original cataloging of identi- cal materials in many libraries and the mounting of backlogs in most catalog de- partments are compelling reasons for urgent action. In libraries that presently follow LC in entry, classification, and subject heading there is ample evidence that the merging of LC · authority with the local authority for entry, interpretation of clas- sification, and application of subject headings produces considerably less than duplication of the LC system, although the aim and rule is to follow LC.

     summary: One passage in his essay certainly deserves quot- ing as setting a goal for CHOICE if that magazine is to be anything more than The Booklist junior grade: What is needed is a weekly periodical devoted to book reviews (and perhaps to film, music, and art chronicles also), and with a circulation well over one hundred thousand across the country. Toward the middle of the book there is a chapter on reference service in which the author offers his Odyssey of reference books.

     summary: In exceptional instances, specialized training and/ or experience may be substituted for part or all of the educational requirements; five years of professional library experience for part of which graduate study beyond-or oth- er than-the fifth-year library degree may be substituted; demonstrated ad- ministrative and supervisory ability where appropriate; subject specializa- tion where appropriate, evidenced by a graduate degree in the subject field or the equivalent in training and/ or experi- ence. The rationale is that in large librar- ies many subprofessionals, who would not require library school preparation, could be employed and trained to achieve satisfactory skill in the performance of a few narrow phases of library work.

     summary: Four major types of campus buildings and the campus itself are considered in separately written sections: Classrooms, by Mel Elfin, Laboratories, by Bernard Asbell, Libraries, by Alvin Toffier, Dor- mitories, by Margaret Farmer, and Cam- pus, by James J. Morisseau. Concern about these questions led Edu- cational Facilities Laboratories to send five professional writers touring the country to visit outstanding recent campus buildings and to talk with people who planned or are using them.

     summary: My own experience indicates that library buildings fail most often be- cause architects have a tendency to conceive of ( as they talk of) buildings as spatial sculptures rather than spatial functions, and this often leads to build- ing from the outside in , despite pious protestations to the contrary. The most frightening aspects of the strange world of architects to librarians new at library building are its weird imprecision and radical lack of common sense.

      flesch: 48
     summary: It should be immediately noted that although the separate undergraduate or college library has been adopted as the pattern of library service in a group of institutions, it has either not been con- sidered or it has been rejected by others which provide central library service to the university community in a single building~ The separate undergraduate library has been regarded as a means of im- proving library service to undergrad- uates by giving them their own special facilities, a book and periodical collec- tion chosen to meet their needs and a staff interested in providing library ser- vice to young college students. A major change in library service to undergraduates occurred with the open- ing of the Lamont library at Harvard in January 1949.

      flesch: 40
     summary: The borderline between what is nonprofessional and what is profes- sional among library duties has become more sharply defined in re~ent years due in part to the shortage of library school graduates and the need to oper- ate libraries as efficiently and econom- ically as possible. If a library is unable to attract competent nonprofessional employees or if the turnover among such employees is ex- cessively high, there is a risk that librar- ians will be forced into the performance of nonprofessional tasks to an excessive extent and thus provide library service that is economically indefensible and detrimental to the wider public accept- ance of librarians as a professional group.

HARTZ Freshman Library Orientation: a Need for New Approaches Reevaluation of freshman library orientation programs is suggested with mafor emphasis on: (1) the need for a continuing four or five year orientation program; (2) increased college enrollments; (3) new media of communication; and ( 4) increased emphasis on the individual student. Devised to give library orientation just once dur- ing one's college career, the lectures are burdened with detail and innumer- able reference citations, trying to give the college freshman in one or two hours what librarians have learned in one or more years of formal training.

     summary: They invite exploration of the conditions which affect academic needs for books, of the relative weights which should be attached to the various controlling fac- tors, and of the basic hypothesis itself- namely, that it is possible to provide a meaningful quantitative measure of ade- quacy in library collections. The adequacy of the college library's collections cannot be measured in quan- titative terms, asserts a well-known text- book in the field of college library ad- ministration.

We have, in fact, just completed the systems work and programing, in- cluding two dry runs, and have convert- ed to computer handling of our account- ing records for book purchases, which have to be distributed against some fifty accounts.

     summary: Awareness of the problems of library and bibliographical instruction has so increased, especially since the second World War, that courses in library usage have even been inserted into many college curricula. It is important to observe that in the past much of the work of giving library instruction to students has been done by librarians without the help of college and university administrators, and that the burden it places on other aspects of library work is frequently excessive.

     summary: The necessary sup- porting analysis of library costs is discussed, and there is reference to a recent study of costs at Stanford University. UNIVERSITIES WITH United States gov- ernment research grants and contracts have new reason to study the full costs of their libraries. The revised circular is significant with regard to library costs in two main areas.

     summary: Instead of having student library committees which take much time, they have been success- ful in determining student needs through the following: ( 1 ) informal conferences with individual students; ( 2) receiving suggestions from students by having a suggestion box near the circulation desk; ( 3) informal conferences with professors about problems of their students; ( 4) receiving suggestions from student as- sistants; ( 5) receiving suggestions from students called in before regular faculty library committees on library problems; ( 6) receiving suggestions from students, who serve as members of faculty com- mittees that the librarian serves on; and ( 7) discussing library problems two or three times annually with officers of dif- ferent student groups and giving the stu- dents a chance to ask questions and say anything they want concerning the li- brary and the student body. Local circumstances should determine the use or nonuse of student library committees.

     summary: 1965 ADDITIONAL BmuocRAPmc SERVICES The master file of bibliographic data is capable of providing other much needed services to the library besides the pro- duction of catalogs. The sys- tematic structure of bibliographic data in the master record permits flexible stor- age of the entire master file in a large electronic memory providing random ac- cess to this information for purposes of checking new acquisition requests against the master record, for cataloging in- formation contained in the master record, or for receiving and transmitting biblio- graphic data from and to remote loca- tions.

     summary: Thus official university records would include the correspondence, policy state- ments, and printed matter produced as a result of daily activities in the Presi- dent's or Chancellor's office, the regis- trar's office, the office of public relations, and the individual academic depart- ments and professional schools. Since the major problems in university archives are caused by archival and historical manuscript collections, they are discussed in some detail.

Since the number of books or volumes per student and faculty only is not in- dicative of the strength of library service in university libraries, the amounts spent for library materials should be made an integral part of their standards.

     summary: The final two col- umns record for each library the number of volumes held and the total expendi- tures for books, periodicals, and binding in 1962, the final year covered by the decade of statistics of doctoral degrees. The chief purpose of the present in- vestigation is to determine whether there exists any direct correlation between the number and variety of doctoral degrees awarded and the strength of library re- sources in individual institutions.

     summary: Various authors have recom- mended that special library services and techniques be applied to the college li- brary. Under the conditions in which the study was made-providing a limited number of services in relation to current ongoing courses in the department of English within the period of one aca- demic year-there is no evidence that the application of special library services and techniques to the college library provided more or better service to users than when they were not provided.

     summary: IN THE PAST quarter century, libraries have increasingly adopted from business and other professions the principle of position classification as a means to as- sure equitable salary and status for posi- tions which may vary in duties but which have the same level of qualifica- tions and responsibilities. As a first step, the committee sought counsel from a professor and an admin- istrator of the school of business admin- istration concerning principles and pro- cedure of position classification.

If, in the Cran:6.eld investigation, identical entry vocabular- ies for the four systems had been built up, based on the original conceptual analysis of test documents, and if human variables in searching had been elimi- nated, the performance of the systems with respect to retrieval of known rele- vant documents would have been iden- tical.

     summary: The average successful alumnus had been younger and healthier while in library school, had been both graded and evaluated higher by his instructors, had come from a more prestigious undergraduate institution, had probably done more graduate work and held more library positions before attending library school, than the average unsuccessful alum- nus. The unsuccessful group included former students and alumni who were very difficult to place, or who had flunked out of library school yet held on to an inferior job, or who had never advanced beyond a $4,000 job.

Each chapter warrants the most careful study, although the material on furniture and equipment (because the au- thor was relying on publication of a man- ual on library furniture, in preparation by the Library Technology Project of the American Library Association but not yet available) is the least satisfactory.

     summary: Since university libraries are often used not just as a source of library ma- terials but also as a place where students study their own books and notes, an analysis was made of the materials the students were using at the time of the survey. Library use increased progressively from the freshman through the senior year, and again it was shown that seniors do not spend more hours in the library than members of other classes, but that they are more frequently found there and are more likely to be using library materials.

     summary: Indeed, in the past, we have had no organized programs for training rare book librarians. It can be, and fre- quently has been, argued that there is no background for rare book work com- parable to experience in the trade or as a collector-but the fact remains that these sources cannot supply the number Dr. Byrd is University Librarian at In- diana University, Bloomington. of rare book librarians which are now required.

Bryan has been one of the advocates of cooperative collecting for the country, and writes: If they [university libraries] throw their weight behind the movement for rationali- zation of library resources and services on a national scale, they will not only make this rationalization much more meaningful, but also ensure that it preserves the degree of local self-sufficiency which is vital to the carrying out of their major role.

Those of us who work in day-to-day operations, acquiring books and giving them bibliographic addresses in our col- lections, sometimes feel that the great powerhouse of research libraries which the Association of Research Libraries represents is pretty far removed from ~ur operation~, that the head of a large library doesn t recognize the desperate flailing of the arms as we try to keep from going under for the last time in the flood of materials which come to us in ever increasing waves.

This, rather than merely the superior student is the focus of this volume which, briefly, traces the history of the honors movement in America; spells out some of the charac- teristics and needs of the superior student (and inadvertently exposes the precious- ness of some of them) that lead to the de- velopment of honors programs; gives case studies of honors work in such differing academic milieus as liberal arts colleges, private and state universities, and secondary schools; and treats of the differing objectives and methods of departmental and college honors.

     summary: Those who have studied the general needs and bases for library networks have stressed the importance of explor- ing new fields of service in addition to the conventional handling of books, jour- nals, other published information and bibliographies. For practical purposes it would prob- ably be best to limit the initial partic- ipants to land-grant universities and other major agricultural libraries, or to mount a smaller more varied pilot proj- ect.

     summary: The power-driven press unleashed a flood of books into the market, and, in conjunction with rising labor costs, compelled the binder to seek more and more sophisticated machinery for binding books. The difference in flexibility stems from the fact that raised cord books have solid backs, whereas books sewn by either of the other methods have hollow backs, which, in conjunction with the looser type of sewing, permits more throw-up in the spine, thus allowing the book to open more easily.15 Sewing on double raised cords actually approaches even oversewing in strength, and generally exceeds it in flexibility.

     summary: Mr. Howard's paper, The Work of the Public Library in Supplementing the Resources of the College Library, serves as a catalyst, for it is a jolting reminder of the work of many public libraries in the country that has been of tremendous assistance to college libraries. Many college libraries offer some kind of copying service which tends to minimize this problem.

     summary: For years these exercises began with a tour of the university library so that students would know the location of available services. These shortcomings included ( 1) em- phasis on services (microfilm: Readers' Guide to Periodical Literature) which are of comparatively little use to scholars in biology; ( 2) failure to draw attention to certain especially useful items (the Xerox machine, the journals shelved with U.S. government documents); ( 3) in- ability of students at the rear of the group to see and hear; ( 4) lack of op- portunity to handle the items shown and to examine them closely, thus failing to satisfy curiosity at the moment of its provocation by the guide; and ( 5) lack of opportunity to notice and explore items of special interest to individual students.

This discrepancy of classing of local ' history and description of Poland, White Russia, Ukraine, and Baltic states, as well as of the Caucasian nations, to- gether with Russian local history is even more pronounced when we take into consideration that each of the Central Asiatic Soviet Republics as well as Si- ~ beria, which is a part of the RSFSR, have a provision for their local histories within their own schedules separate from those for Russia.

     summary: Unlike the earlier and well-known point of view as expressed by Arno Schirokauer, whose essay Der Anteil des Buchdrucks an der Bildung des Gemeindeutschen is often referred to, that ·new lay readers belonged very frequently to the economically favored classes,' Dr. 448 I College & Research Libraries • November 1967 Hirsch claims that: Almost all classes of readers were affected by the new method of producing texts; it was the new reader, the person who belonged to groups which were formerly very largely without access to books, who benefited the most. As long as books were produced singly and were with few exceptions very expensive, 'Every- man' had little opportunity to read and to own a book.

       title: Professionalism Reconsidered
        date: 1968
       words: 13480
      flesch: 39
     summary: The reluctance to be assertive may be as much a function of insecurity born out of fears engendered by the limits of the modern librarian's mind to cope with the complexities of an ever broadening spectrum of knowledge, or awe of the growing sophistication of middle class readers among whom high- er educational preparation is now widely characteristic, or because of the con- fusion which attends a set of objectives for library service which tolerates light diversion with intellectual development as equally viable missions: It is the cli- ent then who always determines his wants, and it is only the most iconoclas- tic librarian who suggests alternatives either by making precise recommenda- tions or by skewing client choices through close control of the content of collections to reflect excellence. The counterpart for library service could be found only through commitment to constituencies not now viewed a's the library's respon- sibility—for the public library, the mar- ginally literate and other non-users of traditional services; for the academic li- brary—the devising of new forms and methods of information service beyond the passive collection function; for the school-library—a commitment to building collections and services to influence the teacher in his continuing education and his effectiveness to perform.

     summary: These then are the additional benefits that would seem to result from the use of mobile units. Standard mobile units, such as those currently in use in many public library systems, are as large as 10' x 35'; the cost of these units, including shelving, lighting, air-conditioning, and heating, is approximately $7,500 to $8,000.

     summary: It appears that in too many instances the administrators who must de- cide what classification schemes libraries should use lack understand- ing of comparative classification. None, if we can see significance differ- ences between available classifications, some better and some worse (in terms of purpose and its achievement); a great deal, it would seem, if we cannot see such differences, since in that case we should look for a way to save money for purposes which can be effected by excellence.

We have muffed our chance for a code based clearly on principle, we have missed the boat on international cooperation (sig- nificantly, just as the Library of Congress begins a magnificent program of interna- tional cooperation in shared cataloging), we have allowed the problems of a rela- tively few large existing libraries to take precedence over the emerging needs of many more libraries which will be the large existing libraries of the future, and we have ignored the new technology which we know represents what we must use in the future.

     summary: Because of the growing standardization of medical classification being brought about by the rapidly growing number of new medical libraries, the Cunningham and other privately originated medical systems will probably die out except in some of the large research collections (where the cost of reclassification would be prohibi- tive). It has now become the only system other than that of the Na- tional Library of Medicine specifically de- signed for medical libraries and in use among more than a few such libraries.

A listing of university archives would include the official records of the vari- ous offices, departments, and schools; the personal papers accumulated during the tenure of individual members of the facul- ty; such official publications of the uni- verity as circulars of information, cata- logs of course offerings, and bulletins; monographs and serials published by the university press; theses and dissertations; and official publications of the student body and alumni associations.

The narrative moves smoothly through a well integrated whole, but the book remains rather a series of meaningful and fascinating, carefully re- searched, documented, interconnected es- says in the history of American printing.

     summary: It was hoped that the undergraduate library could bring together in one place all aspects of library service relating to the undergraduate curriculum, thereby encouraging the student to learn. Second, centralization of services was intended to remove the obstacles which impede the undergraduate in his search for library materials, making the learn- ing process easier and more satisfactory.

     summary: Most of the advice that the nine li- braries would give to other libraries con- sidering the change to LC and/or re- classification has to do with reclassifica- tion. Apparently reclassifi- cation costs are so inextricably bound up in the regular operating budgets of most libraries that it is almost impossible to establish the true unit cost.

Finally, however, one has to admit that many anthropologists are working in fields where they can have little con- fidence that they have found a really substantial percentage of the references that would be useful to them.

     summary: The system should shorten the procedures of indexing institutions and establish a new mechanism of selective indexing in the libraries themselves. Indexing in Source offers an even more dramatic perspective at the very heart of periodical services in the li- brary.

     summary: There are some other arrangements, when at times clerical staff, and even the president of the college, also attend library staff meetings, or nonprofessional personnel is invited when needed for in- formation. At seven libraries, for example, where faculty rank is granted to library directors, the student body ranges from one thousand to ten thousand students, and the num- ber of professional librarians from two to twenty-eight.

Additional title cards are also made for transliterated titles, for all forms of changed titles, and for some distinctive titles of the parts of sets.

Dr. Bodemer cor- rectly indicates that the history of medi- cine is one of several developing social science areas which will result in increasing demand on medical libraries from people outside the medical community, but he probably exaggerates the importance of medical history in the total picture.

This paper traces the beginning and development of Asian resources in American libraries, discusses some of the problems presented by the expansion of these resources, and suggests several approaches to the problems discussed.

     summary: At the Library of Congress the Principal Evaluations Officer, in con- sultation with subject specialists, makes the appraisal; if the material is estimat- ed to be worth more than $1,000, a formal ad hoc evaluation committee, con- sisting of subject and acquisitions spe- cialists, is set up.5 Many libraries indicated that there was a price limit above which they call in an outside agency to do the ap- praisal. It recommended that libraries should not appraise gifts for inheritance or tax purposes except in those cases where only items of comparatively low monetary value are involved.

     summary: Without a doubt Dr. Klempner's findings support his hypothe- ses that the government's abstracting serv- ices are not being adequately utilized for the diffusion of results of government- sponsored research; that industries and in- stitutions having no government contracts generally do not receive, and frequently are unfamiliar with these abstracting and indexing services; and that there is a high degree of correlation between the extent of receipt and use of these services within certain regions and industries and the de- gree of innovation and economic expan- sion within these regions and industries. The important underlying assumptions in Dr. Klempner's research are that the uti- lization of technical information can be ac- celerated and intensified through the pur- poseful exploitation of national documen- tation center abstracting and indexing serv- ices, and that if imaginatively distrib- uted and used, the services can, in effect, act as social instruments capable of pro- Book Reviews / 519 moting national technological, economic and social goals.

Running through the fabric of the Methodist Publishing House's past are some of the warp threads in the whole fabric of American history: the in- fluence of an expanding frontier; the op- timism and sectionalism which its broad horizons generated; inflation, depression, war, and industrial growth.

NETZ Faculty Loan Policies in Michigan, Ohio, and Indiana A survey was made to determine the circulation policies for faculty in the college and university libraries of Indiana, Michigan, and Ohio; to determine whether or not they seemed to be satisfactory; and to elicit suggestions on how faculty loan policies could be improved. BECAUSE OF THE DEARTH of professional literature concerning the many ramifica- tions of academic library circulation pol- icies, a study of faculty loan policies was initiated.

     summary: Case studies of these make up the specillc content of five of the chap- ters. In the introduction the editor mentions one very costly library area which is not in- vestigated: This collection of case studies contains nothing in the area of technical services, a significant shortcoming, simply because no important studies had been concluded in technical services at the time of this writing (Introduction, p. 8).

     summary: Junior college educators and library personnel from school, college, and special libraries presented papers on these topics: 1) the junior college perspective on library tech- nology, including the education of library technical assistants and programs in Cali- fornia ; 2) areas of service for the library technical assistant in public, special, and school libraries ; 3) the administration and development of library technology pro- grams, with discussions of program fund- ing, the labor market, recruitment and placement; 4) the relation of library tech- nical assistant training programs to profes- sional associations ; and 5) the future of library technology programs, w ith five kinds of information workers suggested- teacher assistants, library technicians, mu- seum technicians, media technicians, and data processing technicians. This study of library resources was un- dertaken as a part of a statewide plan for higher education in Texas.

     summary: Some institutions have begun to take more seriously the librarian's education- al role, to recognize the importance of this role regardless of formal classroom teaching responsibilities , and to bring librarians' salaries more closely into line with other faculty salaries. Nonetheless, academic librarians as a group seem to earn higher salaries than school and public librarians.

        date: 1969
       words: 1359
      flesch: 53
     summary: One set has to do with how favorable the social climate is to library development-whether a sound political and economic base for the pur- pose exists , to what extent continuing so- cial commitments and in particular educa- tional commitments are generating a real need for national library development, what teaching customs or other cultural characteristics put the brakes on creating library services to meet these needs , what the langua ge of learning is and how many are equipped to use it, whether there is an indigenous booktrade to provide readable books in the vernacular, and what use is made of non-print media . More com- monly governments of developing coun- tries and their foreign advisers on national planning treat it as a cluster of problems bounded by four walls-problems that may require outside purchases of books for shelf enrichment, gifts of scholarships for train- ing, expatriate librarians, foreign libraries to serve as substitutes for local libraries, but no real involvement of the indigenous power structure .

This study analyzes the basic cost fac- tors in the automation of library catalogs, with a separate examination of the influ- ence of typography on the cost of printed catalogs and the use of efficient automatic error detection procedures in processing bibliographic records.

     summary: Probably an appropriate admonition to institutions considering the develop- ment of residence hall libraries is to analyze their local situation in terms of campus geography, library attitudes, student and faculty interest, the philoso- phy of its student personnel program, and-not the least-the cost of main- taining such libraries in relation to over- all library support. Over the years the library press has consistently emphasized the im- portance of adequate support standards for residence hall libraries, but the requisite support levels have not always been maintained.

     summary: College and Research Libraries JOHN M. CHRIST Functional Analysis and Library Science Functional analysis is a tool with significant positive implications for library research because of: (1) its facility for investigating the social system of which the librar.y is an integral part; and (2) its direction towards heuristic considerations and metaphysical theory long neg- lected in library science. The sociological approach to function- al analysis has a greater degree of rele- vance for library research than the mechanistic approach because the meth- od is more closely related to the type of phenomena and social system which comprises the library as an institution.

     summary: Miami University recently completed a new undergraduate library which was constructed to give the student easy ac- cess to books and journals through the use of open stacks. In future investigations the authors in- tend to examine the question which was just raised as well as what might be done to make it more likely that a by- stander will respond to book ripping in a university library.

By in- structing the computer to count the number of common words contained within each sentence in text samples, Morton presents tables of these calcu- lations in which he shows the correla- tions of an author's use of these common words in most of his works.

     summary: While for the sake of long-range financial planning it may be necessary to rely largely on quantitative measures, a method of selection to ensure the quality of library materials secured should be investigated and implement- ed. The important element to re- member here is that the careful choice of library materials to provide the pa- tron with needed information should be the library's first goal.

     summary: Indeed, there is some evidence that academic libraries may .already have begun to fail to meet their obliga- tions, for in the five-year period from 1960-61 to 1965-66, the number of vol- umes per student in American college and university libraries declined from 52.4 to 45.8. Much education, research, and devel- opment will be required to produce and operate library systems that will possess the characteristic of increasing produc- tivity.

      flesch: 40
     summary: A single center for the selection, order- ing, cataloging, and processing of at least 90,000 volumes annually has been recommended for these six libraries for the following reasons: ( 1) there ap- peared to be a great deal of duplication of effort, with a negligible amount of unique technical processing being done in the libraries; ( 2) no significant dif- ferences in practices were found; ( 3) a center would cost less to operate than it would cost to expand facilities in the individual libraries and titles could be processed more cheaply; ( 4) profession- al personnel which is now involved in technical services would be free to con- tribute more toward the improvement of service by being released to plan, make policies, provide more guidance in the use of libraries, and actually get in- volved in the substantive aspect of the academic program. Plans for develop- ment include funding a center and the acquisition of additional ma- terials, and encouraging other similar libraries to take advantage of the center's services.

THE SYSTEM OF description that is out- lined in this article is based on the fol- lowing elements: 1. that the record items comprising manuscript groups have serial char- acteristics, and that this feature should be the basis of both their ar- rangement and description; 2. that users of manuscript collections normally approach their subject by having previously associated it with names: personal, corporate, and geo- graphical; 3. that this name/ subject association on the part of the researcher is so spe- cific and special as to justify a min- imal effort at subject analysis on the part of the describer; 4. that comprehensive bibliographical control of the manuscript collection as a whole is preferable to a minute bibliographical control of single manuscript items, or of only a frac- tion of the manuscript groups that Mr. Berner is Archivist and Mrs. Bettis is Curator of Manuscripts at the University of Washington Libraries.

     summary: No response Of the 57 respondents ( 20 per cent, Table 7) who indicated that they were doing general/ professional reading, 32 also indicated that they were reading current periodical literature. Tabulated results indicate that this user group utilizes periodicals heavily, that citations are most often sought by subject, that only one or two articles are usually read per library use, and that most such library users are successful in their search for information.

     summary: For almost every kind of device that records information on punched cards or paper tape there is a similar machine, often made by the same manufacturer, that encodes magnetical- ly on recording tape. Some of these tapes can be placed directly onto a com- puter tape drive-others must first be read through a reader in the manner of punched cards and paper tape; but in any case, magnetic tape encoders pos- sess certain characteristics that make them desirable data conversion devices.

     summary: TRADITIONALLY, slide collections in most United States colleges and univer- sities have been initiated by art history faculty to illustrate lectures. Because of this lack of published in- formation, a comprehensive study and survey of the history of the problem, the present status of slide collections, practical matters (such as equipment and photographic processing) , and more formal library considerations (such as use of classification, source fil es, and authority files) was b egun in 1968.

     summary: The ten steps involve: ( 1) provision of funds for the library in the capital funds secured for the new campus, ( 2) appointment of a capable head librarian, ( 3) utilization of a well-qualified library consultant, ( 4) es- tablishment of a code of library policy and procedure, ( 5) priority to be given for pro- vision of library materials, ( 6) considering the library to be a materials resource cen- ter, (7) long-range budgeting, (8) visits to similar libraries, ( 9) writing the specifi- cations for the consultant, and ( 10) estab- lishing cooperative relationships with other libraries. The conclusion of the survey is that North Carolina libraries do not have suffi- cient resources, physical facilities, or staff to provide adequate library service for the state.

     summary: Because of disagreement within the profession about the educa- tional requirements necessary for pro- fessional service and because some in- stitutions seem to hire persons with low qualifications in hope that they can cre- ate instant librarians by the laying on of a title, the profession needs to de- termine the requisite educational attain- ments of academic librarians on the op- erational level.

What is surprising about this healthy student interest in books is that it is largely self-generated, that it has de- veloped with little or no support from the very institutions which are, or should be, interested in book reading: universities, book publishers, bookstores, and libraries.

     summary: College and Research Libraries ELDRED SMITH Academic Status for College and University Librarians- Problems and Prospects Academic librarians will achieve and deserve full academic status only after they cause changes in the bureaucratic structure of libraries and in library education, and when they provide professional service on a scholarly level. With the growing emphasis on individual study, libraries will be expected to provide such service to scholars and students who are be- coming less bibliographically self-suffi- cient even within their specialties.18 Moreover, as information developments make a moderate skill in library re- search almost a necessity for every edu- cated person, academic librarians must assume a more formal instructional role in their colleges and universities, teach- ing students at least its more rudimen- tary principles.

Academic library direc- tors have dabbled at this institutional ramrodding, but in the main, doing their thing seems to mean library build- ings or growth of library collections.

     summary: American university librarians are surely not so foolish as to give up a suc- cessful program just because librarians in other countries cling to an outmoded sys- tem. First, because most European university dissertations are not very good and are not worth the cost of an exchange system; sec- ond, European universities will soon be giving up, as some of them already have, publication requirements for the same rea- sons that American universities gave them up at the end of World War II; and third, the ARL-University Microfilms method of publishing dissertations has ' proved to be a very satisfactory system for making texts available for which the demand is light.

     summary: If standard book numbers were assigned for libraries only, jobbers and booksellers would have to follow suit if they wanted any library business. This does not even require rental of a key- punch; we could use a pad and stylus, like those we use in voting in an increas- ing number of jurisdictions, and at a capital investment of $1.00 or so, the process of book ordering would be auto- mated.

With the growing emphasis on independent student learning, and the declining stress on classroom lecturing and text- book m emorization, the modern col- lege or university library is no less im- portant than the classroom and the lab- oratory as a place where learning is dis- seminated and advanced.

Research libraries perform a desirable service by making the collection and the study facilities available during such an extensive pe- riod, but there is also a way of extend- ing professional personnel services at a very low cost during odd hours.

     summary: After a detailed study of the reserve processing activities of the Columbia Uni- versity Library System, it was decided that an attempt to design a reserve system which would make the fullest use of com- puters would be undertaken. In Part II, Suburban Com- munities and Public Library Service in the Chicago Metropolitan Statistical Area, Ruth G. Lindahl tests the proposition that certain types of suburban communities will have predictably higher levels of public li- brary service than will others.

     summary: However, he concludes that ... perhaps librarians are not the ones who should de- velop and promote a new national system of library home delivery since he fears that libraries are too stable and conserva- tive institutions to undergo radical change. He claims New York Public Library is the only li- brary intending to develop research library status (what about Cleveland, Philadelphia, Boston, Los Angeles, to name a few?) and that home delivery will free the branch li- brary from a certain amount of questions and routine circulation so that library sys- tems might begin to staff branch libraries with competent · professionals all of the time.

     summary: College and Research Libraries AMY S. DOHERTY Black Studies: A Report for Librarians The purpose of this paper is to provide background information about black studies and to clarify attitudes, black and white, tou)ard black studies, in order to interject some r-eality into what can be an emo- tionally and intellectually confusing area for whites. INTRODUCTION BEcAUSE THE MAJORITY of librarians in America's college and university li- braries are white, and because the issue of black studies is emotionally as well as intellectually charged, it behooves us to make an honest effort to understand as well as we can the issues involved in providing services to this new area of the curriculum.

     summary: This can be done through an item analysis of all 480 questions in the C.P.I., a technique that will tell which items were answered true by library students more often than is normally expected, and which points were ' answered false more often than usual. When put to a t test, such a difference proves to be statistically significant at the .01 level of probability, all of which indi- cates that in comparison to the norm, this group of library students tends to- ward that end of the scale which is known for gentleness and appreciative- ness, rather than ambition, activity, and innovation.

     summary: It should be noted that the largest re- sponse category for faculty respondents was to do research for a publishable paper or book ( 21 percent), while more than 50 percent of the faculty came to do research for a publishable paper, read library material for self- improvement, or find and read ma- terial required for a course. The most common response of the graduate students indicated no second- ary reason ( 32 percent), while the three next most common responses were to find and read material required for a course, do homework with own books, and read library material for self-improvement.

     summary: No one claimed to have saved any money doing anything by computer, and although the analysis of computer costs is, to be charitable, hair-raisingly casual, esti- mates of costs of doing by computer exactly the same things that had previ- ously been done manually were extreme- ly high (in one case, five times the cost).

      flesch: 47
     summary: Unfortunately, the evidence does not in- dicate that many academic librarians cur- rently have faculty status, nor is it (if, in fact, this kind of evidence can be) well- marshalled to support contentions that fac- ulty status should be conferred on librar- ians. In fact, the most illuminating and thoughtful of these studies (The Status of Librarians in Four Year State Colleges and Universities) draws quite a different conclusion: that only a small minority of academic librarians now have full faculty status, although a majority seem to believe that they do.

Over-the-counter circulation, the claim has been, gives no indication of the true magnitude of library use since it takes no account of use within the li- brary.

     summary: In the preface the au- thors state that this book aims primarily to provide guidelines for library administra- tors and library systems analysis in analyz- ing and evaluating existing operating sys- tems and in designing new or improved ones. The volume states that the necessity of studying and improving on-going systems is necessary in and of itself, and does not necessitate commitment to mechanized or computerized solutions, yet the trend that systems analysis studies will aid in justify- ing computerized or mechanized solutions is felt throughout the book.

The range of problems Lyle ·discussed with his colleagues is broad.

     summary: The obviously significant factor, the number of holds on a book out in circulation, has been used for duplicate purchasing in small libraries from time immemorial. We re- ported the results of this survey to the fac- ulty, requesting their cooperation in not placing on reserve books that may have lit- tle or no use, pointing out that it would have been better to leave those unused ti- tles in the general collection for possible use by browsers and to save the efforts of both the faculty and library staff.

     summary: Since there is little disagreement among social scientists con- cerning the necessity for information support, the only question re- maining is who will supply these services? Assuming the availa- bility of funds (no mean assumption during this time of budget cut- ting), it is likely social scientists in colleges and universities will be called upon to do much of the needed research.

Library fund raising must be a cooperative effort involving library staff, .de- velopment office personnel, faculty, president, trustees, and off- campus volunteers, and friends of the university.

No one in librarianship has searched longer or more assiduously for answers to good lighting than Keyes Metcalf, and ulti- mately, no one is more baffied by the whole question.

     summary: S. P. L. Filon's study of Library Coop- eration in Great Britain is less personal and summarizes in a very useful form the history of interlending mainly insofar as the National Central Library was concerned with it. The problem of buildings has now reached a happy solution in the firm decision to go ahead with a building to house both the British Museum Library and the National Reference Library of Science and Inven- tion on the Bloomsbury site, though it will be some years before the actual buildings are ready.

     summary: Can a study of this kind be of primary value in planning computerized tools without being substantially supplemented by other kinds of studies of user needs? So we have created card catalogs on a less than rational basis and have foisted upon the user a complex tool which must have by now materially affected the ways in which he attempts to define his needs.

References at the end of each chapter are generous and well se- lected; they offer a starting point for litera- ture searches serving research or operations in virtually every phase of library activity.

     summary: Probabilistic conclusions sug- gest certain educational activities be under- taken: ( 1) There is no justification to cre- ate a postmasters program to teach basic library techniques and library schools must incorporate skill development within the curriculum or on-the-job training will have to be continued; ( 2) two justifications for internship programs require establishment of programs either to teach students the op- erations of large library systems with an ex- pectation of employment, or to teach stu- dents the application of theoretical knowl- edge in a working environment aimed to- ward a speciality; ( 3) management and planning tasks for libraries cannot be ade- quately taught in a one-year postmasters educational program; and ( 4) the distinc- tive feature of medical librarianship is its environment, and the librarian must com- prehend how biomedical information is generated and used and should attend con- ferences and seminars to gain this knowl- edge. Effec- tive means of increasing library use in- clude: ( 1) A better understanding of the information-seeking habits and needs of users; ( 2) the librarians should spend more time outside the library interacting in stu- dent-faculty affairs; ( 3) the role of the li- brary should touch all facets of the academ- ic community; ( 4) the development of problem-oriented libraTy training that uses audiovisual media ; ( 5) the training of stu- dent reference advisers to interact with stu- dents; and ( 6) the orientation of the li- brary to the users thus increasing the prob- ability that the library dynamic processes (question-asking, information-seeking, com- munication, display, and serendipitous dis- covery) will be successful within the con- text of the learning process.

     summary: My general thesis is that relatively, if not absolutely, the value of much of university libraries is overrated and that, particularly in times of dwindling re- sources, the university library must no longer be considered sacrosanct, that its claims on the university budget need to be questioned as much or more than competing claims. THE THREE FACES OF uNIVERSITY LIBRARIES One of the barriers to appropriate perception of university libraries is its description as a general intellectual re- source for the entire university commu- nity.

Attitudes regarding the employment of local library school graduates vary from unqualified endorsement to firm though often unofficial objection.

     summary: To the Editor: Elizabeth A. Storch University of Buffalo Buffalo, New Y ark Corbin's contention, in defense of the computer (CRL 32:316, July 1971) that man being fallible, the machine must be fallible, supports rather than refutes Ma- son's argument against unqualified accept- ance of the computer for library use. It would probably be interesting but exasperating to try to define library use.

     summary: The findings in a survey of faculty use of government documents at Case Western Reserve University indicate ·how document users locate the materials they need, the users' familiarity with standard indexes to public docu- ments, the age of government publications most frequently consult- ed, and other patterns of use. The one factor which appears to be given only minimal consideration in de- termining an appropriate organizational scheme for government publications is the way in which people actually use public documents.

     summary: In the area of current book selection our library receives books weekly on ap- proval. There are those who would take issue with this, but I think the problem is in the mechanics of par- ticular plans, not the principle.1 An ap- proval plan enables a library to acquire a large part of current book production for inspection, a very useful first step in book selection.

     summary: In view of the author's distinguished career in reference work and bibliogra- phy, this work has been awaited with in- terest by instructors of reference courses: they will find much to applaud, as in the excellent review of statistical sources (including 1970 census data). Because contemporary reviews of American fiction for the period indicat- ed have not previously been accessible through standard reference works, this attempt to direct the researcher to just this type of secondary source material is welcome.

     summary: The reviewer was particularly pleased to see the following comment regarding processing time lags and member library complaints: In order to gain a true pic- ture of the additional delay incurred by dealing with a processing center, a library should first have a documented concept of the time it takes a book to clear its own technical processing depa1tment. Chapter I includes a brief general dis- cussion of library cooperation related to larger units of service.

     summary: On the basis of the replies and other comments recorded during the course of the study, Hendricks made qualified recommen- dations for regional library activity in areas of: union lists, an expanded telephone net- work, rotating collections of popular ma- terial, delivery service, a central reference service, photocopy of periodicals, selective acquisitions, and a common borrower's card. For example: On page 93 is a very brief paragraph concerning legislative activities Recent Publications I 61 of regional library associations, which sup- ports the idea that such an activity is inap- propriate at the regional level (this is not to imply fiscal support of national legisla- tive activity is inappropriate!).

     summary: It is doubtful that black studies programs will be effective agents of change until anxieties level off and more realistic approaches to the problem of developing academic libraries and their collections are formulated. Their role, as perceived by many advocates of black studies programs, is to counteract the fundamentally white studies pro- grams to which all American students have been subjected throughout their educational careers.

     summary: machine than through mere reproduc- tion of catalog cards from proof slips; on the contrary, it will be assumed that the reproduction of catalog cards from proof slips must defray the entire cost of the Xerox 914. This assumption will, of course, necessitate a very conserva- tive break-even point figure, and any li- brary using the formula to determine whether or not to use proof slips should bear this in mind.

     summary: A graduate of the seminary, Mr. Henry Hopkins Kelsey, class of 1879, was appointed as assistant librarian to Dr. Hartranft to relieve him from routine work; due to the fact that both men were also involved in teaching responsibilities, however, the library was essentially left in the hands of E. C. Rich- ardson, who became assistant librarian in 1882 during his senior year (compare his same position at Amherst), and librarian in 1884, when Dr. Hartranft resigned only to become the president of the in- stitution some four years later. A theological librarian should at the lowest aim at a thorough knowledge of Theological Encyclopedia, Literary History, and Bibliography, some considerable knowledge of Palaeography, a knowledge of at least ten or a dozen lan- guages, besides the technical matters of li- brary science, collating, keeping stock which involve a good deal of study of typography, art of binding or engraving, etc., etc., etc.l E. C. Richardson remained in Hart- ford until 1890, when he left for Prince- ton as assistant librarian and later, librar- ian, until his retirement in 1925.

     summary: It should be stressed again that Professor Saracevic is not alone in defining information science more broadly than he conceives it in practice. Because most of these papers have not previously been collected, and because their general quality is so high, this book should be pur- chased by every library that has even a minimal collection in the area of librarian- ship or information science.

     summary: Because most of these papers have not previously been collected, and because their general quality is so high, this book should be pur- chased by every library that has even a minimal collection in the area of librarian- ship or information science. A very regrettable feature of the volume is that in his general introduction, the edi- tor does not help to clarify what this disci- pline that he calls information science is, but rather perpetuates and further com- pounds the confusion that is rampant in the promotional literature of ASIS, the bulletins of schools of information science, and oth- er publications.

     summary: From its title, if indeed titles nowadays should be somewhat descriptive of a book's content, one would suppose that the major thrust of the work would be in the direction of the actual design of academic libraries. The college teacher and administrator who is unaware of use surveys which have been made in academic libraries over the past forty years should pay considerable at- tention to chapter VII.

     summary: After re- viewing some of the history of the develop- ment of subject headings in the United States under the aegis of Charles Cutter, Harris delineates four analyses of Library of Congress headings: ( 1 ) use of aspect subdivisions, (2) use of adjective-noun phrases, ( 3) relative scope of headings for use in different types of collections, and ( 4) use of form headings. On the basis of her findings, she has projected certain ad- justments in the form of Library of Con- gress subject headings which will enable them to be arranged by computer in a filing sequence acceptable for library use.

     summary: Despite the low usage in some fields the library should continue to select foreign language materials and the library staff should increase its efforts to promote the use of the available bib- liographical and indexing tools. This information was collated against a variety of records and analyses of the actual library usage including a full year's borrowing and foreign language interlibrary loan transac- tions, Xerox copying of foreign language items, and the use inside the library of current foreign language and multilingual journals.

        date: 1972
       words: 715
      flesch: 40
     summary: Based on his experience in administering a photoduplication service and in acquiring microforms at both Har- vard and Stanford University libraries, his many previous contributions to library lit- erature regarding library microforms, his activity in ALA and in numerous other professional organizations, and particularly his able chairmanship of the ALA, RTSD Micropublishing Subcommittee for the past six years, Veaner is eminently qualified to author this handbook. With reports due to be published shortly as a result of OE grants to ARL for studies on the bibliographical control of microforms and on the establishment of a permanent national microform agency, with the Den- ver Research Institute seeking to establish The Organization for Micro Information (OMI), with the quantity and variety of micropublications proliferating, as best il- lustrated by the GPO decision to make government documents available to depos- itory libraries in microform, and with li- braries and publishers increasingly being driven to micropublishing because of shrink- ing acquisition budgets and library space, events have conspired to make this L TP publication timely indeed.

     summary: A sampling of our public catalog was carried out last summer to find the amount of filing error; the average error in both the author/title and the subject catalogs was estimated at 1.04 percent, at a confidence level of 95 percent. I, therefore, urge the edi- torial board to consider the adoption of a plan to include in CRL detachable and indexed abstract cards.

     summary: If course credit by examination is to become ·wide- spread, it is obvious that patterns of library use will change-and probably for the better. While the report re- peatedly states that budgets for new books and periodicals should not be cut, it is clear that other major portions of library expenditures are not so favored.

      flesch: 46
     summary: Although acceptance and implemen- tation of library consortia have in- creased, little guidance has been avail- able to libraries interested in exploring the idea-no design data, no standards, and no models upon which institutions might base better library service through joint efforts. Our observations, reinforced by com- ments from the literature, lead us to be- lieve that, indeed, a special type of leadership is needed to provide effec- tive direction to library consortia.

     summary: Although the actual percentages of front versus hack occupancy differ for the two semesters, there is a tendency for the percentage of people choosing the front section to b e initially high and then de- crease as more people enter the room (although this is more obvious in the spring data ). In order to discover if this was a sig- nificant finding, we graphed the cumu- lative averages of the percentages of people choosing the front for each person in the order they entered the room (i.e., the percentage of the first people who Diagonal Division Front Back 80(56.7%) 46(46.5%) 61( 43.4%) 53( 53.5%) 141 99 entered the room and sat in the front during the observed interval was cal- culated; percentage of second people, etc.; these percentages were then cumu- lated and averaged).

     summary: To some extent this is bound to feed the publishing trade with new categories of titles, al- though this is perhaps less likely to af- fect research libraries than the paper- back textbook industry. If the number of doctoral programs no longer requiring a full-dress dissertation should really increase, one assumes that there would be some lessening of the pressures upon research libraries.

     summary: The description of records, therefore, is neither an in- dex, since it is not an alphabetical list- ing or an item-by-item analysis, nor a calendar, since it is not a listing of all documents by date. Inventories are but one reflection of an archivist's preoccupation with original order of records.

     summary: Topical chapters of reference works, general items which do not fit into the other sections, and basic background works of precolonial history precede the most important sections on Colonial Latin America, Independence, and Latin America since Independence. The com- pilers have devised a rather complex sys- tem of notations, work numbers, abbrevia- tions, etc., in an effort to make the bibliog- raphy reflect certain things about the lit- erature which may be of interest to the scholar.

     summary: When approval plans first appeared on the library scene in the early 1960s, only libraries with sizeable book budgets could consider having an English-language ap- proval plan. Papers relating the experiences of seven libraries concerning approval plans make up one third of the book: the role of the faculty in book selection (a problem which is relatively independent of the method of book procurement), the mechanics and ra- tionale of ordering additional copies of ti- tles received on approval, and the need for a system of earmarking titles for special col- lections and binding are discussed.

     summary: Corbin seems most comfortable in describing techniques appropriate to public libraries, and is aware of procedures useful to college li- braries of modest aims; the book is of little use to special or school libraries. Since small is nowhere defined, and since col- lege, public, school, and special libraries vary radically in function, size, and popu- lations served, the book manages to fall neatly between several stools.

     summary: Marchant's use of a portion of the Likert questionnaire to measure one variable and then his use of the whole questionnaire, including the extracted portion, to measure an- other variable seems extraordinarily naive, particularly since Marchant re- ports the entirely anticipated correla- tion, .9696.19 Even if the validity of Marchant's Decision Making Index were unas- sailable, questions would arise as to its reliability.

     summary: 398/ Until relatively recently this imbal- ance caused limited concern among large libraries, because it required of them only a modest supernumerary ex- penditure above their own operating costs. Indeed .sorne large libraries have estimat- ed that they are spending in excess of $100,000 per year on interlibrary le'nd- ing more than they are benefiting from it.

     summary: How- ever, what professors Crowley and Chil- ders have done in exploring devices and methods applicable to the measurement of information services has serious and im- portant consequences for college and re- search libraries. It was the provision of information services based upon the rela- tionship between a high degree of support and the actual ability of the library to de- liver factual and correct information that Crowley and Childers researched with a high degree of success.

     summary: In colleges and universities where full faculty equivalency means competition on an even basis with high-powered academicians, most librarians stand only to lose. The threat of nontenure, which means for the faculty termination of employroent, hangs over the young like a sword of Damocles, and because of the high percentage of faculty already on tenure, denial of tenure to those coming up has become commonplace. ·

The problem appears perennial and as yet unsolved, though libraries are giving orientation lectures and tours, providing graduate and faculty manuals, utilizing bibliographers and subiect specialists to consult with graduate students or even to conduct formal bibliographic courses, and developing imaginative programs employing new equipment and techniques to interpret the library to this segment of its public.

     summary: Librarians and faculty, insignifi- cant users of library services them- selves (faculty 5.9 percent of all users- Table 2), dictate values for the remain- der of the user population of over 90 percent. On the contrary, library unionism is alive and well and living at the Uni- versity of Chicago library!

     summary: Although the pre- sentation was aimed at education in general with specific emphasis in the areas of elementary and secondary education, it seems equally im- perative that higher education should address itself to the same ques- tion. And, second, one must analyze how many people use a system in an attempt to view information and educational needs as a whole.

     summary: BuiLDING As can be expected, the number of volumes per FTE student is a good deal lower in junior college libraries than in academic libraries generally-an average of 19.8 volumes as compared to '51.6 Li- braries with at least 70 percent of the students in college-parallel programs have a higher average, 23.4 volumes per FTE student. Departmental book budgets are rare for junior college libraries, reported by only 19 percent; some others allocate in- formally within the library budget.

     summary: A second major problem that exists in Iranian academic libraries is the size and quality of their collections. Though the physical fa- cilities of Iranian academic libraries are often impressive, too often they have been planned and executed without ade- quate consultation among librarian, ar- chitect, and university administrators.

Library group practice is a means of enhancing professional achieve- ment, improving the rate of productivity in libraries, and thereby of- fering one way in which information can be marketed by libraries at an acceptable price.

     summary: In addition to that data, the book provides descriptive material and guidelines for evaluation and development of automated library systems. The unique contribution of the volume would seem to lie in its summary of auto- mation projects in federal libraries since the other material, on system evaluation and on topics peripheral to the primary discus- sion, seems to duplicate what has.

     summary: Since the hypothe- ses that Hyman is testing in the question- naire are some of the very tenents of librari- anship for most librarians, the general agreement with them does not show that these statements are accurate; it merely shows that they are generally accepted. Polling other librarians (via the question- naire) on whether or not arrangement is es- sential to browsing does not provide that challenge, as most librarians operate on that same basic assumption.

( 3) Is the val- ue of certain catalog information to a small number of users, such as faculty [faculty re- ported using a greater number of data ele- ments on catalog cards than other groups of users] so great that the information must be included in future catalogs, regardless of the catalog's type or configuration?

     summary: I have been involved with academic libraries over a period of nearly thirty years, and, al- though my actual experience is mostly at this medium-sized university, I think that I have been around sufficiently to be a fair judge of what has gone on and is going on in both our profession and the academic profession. Perhaps, though, we need to be concerned with the general problem of employment in this country, not just in library science.

It has been claimed that the changes facing postsecondary education today are the most sig- nificant since the Middle Ages.

     summary: University libraries quite obviously were going to be overwhelmed by this flood sooner or later; the vel0city of change produces a faster expansion of knowledge than can be appraised, codi- fied, or organized. University libraries are becoming more and more subject to the state boards, es- pecially in the budgeting process and in their demands for more effective coop- eration among all state academic librar- ies.

In this regard, the task of library supervisors is no different from that of management personnel in other types of organizations.

     summary: Upon occasion Mr. Franklin finds a need to take issue with the idea of judging these works by what he once calls the awe of the sale room, yet he himself seems quite af- fected both by book prices and by the names of collectors, and the work concludes with a so-called Bibliography by David Lin- coln whose only real contribution is the fur- nishing of auction prices. Although Mr. Franklin refers frequently to the works of these presses as representing a movement and does show interesting in- fluences and interrelations among them, his book is essentially composed of separate sketches, each devoted to a selected printer and press.

     summary: This brief but appealing work treats the activity of fine printing in England from the late nineteenth century to the Second World War, as created by private presses which were owned or controlled by individuals who put their own stamp on the products. This drawback is partially compensated for by an extensive title and subject index, consisting of useful entries such as Nine- teenth Century, Southwest, and New Deal as well as the names of works included in the main alphabet.

     summary: It seems the irony of ironies that the recently sharply increased publica- tion, in book form, of surveys and disserta- tions in the library field is taking place in a period when other learned disciplines are criticized by librarians for having done just that. The purpose of the study was to develop a fund of descriptive and prescriptive information about activities of academic library consortia in the United States with the ultimate aim of providing guidance for libraries that are forming or planning to form consortia.

     summary: In 1969, G. Flint Purdy outlined the range of cooperative activities that could be undertaken by library networks. The purpose of the study was to develop a fund of descriptive and prescriptive information about activities of academic library consortia in the United States with the ultimate aim of providing guidance for libraries that are forming or planning to form consortia.

     summary: The discussions of forms of syntax and other rules for use of a vocabulary, of auxiliary de- vices for reducing failures due to vocabulary (such as links, roles, and other relational in- dicators), or natural language uses, and of compatibility between languages are all equally well informed and well illustrated. The general classification is now a classic one: precoordinated vocabularies (subject headings and classifications) and postcoor- dinated ones (thesauri and more restrictive word lists) .

In the c• officious orthodoxy' section we are reminded of (and, I hope, embarrassed about) subject headings, library school, and other absurdities.

If the costs of card catalogs continue to rise and eventually meet the declining costs of computer usage, then at some point in this decade, economic pressures and other factors will force libraries to.

A five-page faculty evaluation form, developed in 1968-69 was previously used to evaluate library faculty for re- appointment, promotion, special merit increase, and tenure.

     summary: The section concerning the relationship of academic libraries to blackness describes ways and means by which college and uni- versity libraries might open their doors and offer their services to minority populations along with basic data illustrating the crea- tion of black studies sections within uni- versity libraries and accompanying black studies programs. Following by several years his compila- tion The Black Librarian in America, E. J. Josey, chief of the Bureau of Academic and Research Libraries for the New York State Education Department, has submitted an- other collection of statements and remarks from black librarians throughout the na- tion.

     summary: He finds that there is a wide conceptual gulf between social sci- ence and library science (or rather how li- brary science looks at social science) and that it seems evident that such a gulf only complicates research and teaching in social science. The three specific objectives are: ( 1) to determine if key social science terms are connotatively similar to subject headings, ( 2) to deter- mine if such similarity, or lack of it, facili- tates retrieval, and ( 3) to determine if the degree of similarity varies for different types of social science terms.

The results indicate a need for a philosophical change within library science to perhaps a more contemporary approach.

     summary: At Big Ten or Ivy League insti- tutions, the preparation that most librarians have would compare unfavorably with that of the faculty, and librarians would be un- wise to use the extent of their training as a basis for requesting faculty status. Some of the problems that were omitted or briefly discussed are: the lack of leadership by li- brary directors, the errors in the selection and appointment process for new library directors, the poor administrative prepara- tion, the myth of the Ph.D. as a credential for administration, the composition of fac- Letters I 309 ulty search committees and their reliance on other head librarians, the limited admin- istrative talent available in the heirs ap- parent, and the failure of librarians to or- chestrate their opinions concerning the changing role of library directors to faculty and university administrators and decision makers.

     summary: Too often we have heard sentiments expressed that there is too much theory and not enough down-to-earth practical knowledge imparted in library schools. If library schools are, indeed, failing to educate adequately, isn't it as much the fault of the practicing librarian as of the teacher?

      flesch: 51
     summary: In this article three questions are asked: (1) whether faculty status for librarians automatically leads to greater participation in manage- ment; (2) whether the academic department is the best model for li- brarians; and (3) whether lack of skill in introducing participation may not lead to disillusionment. Although for some observers, faculty status for librarians leads naturally to greater and significant participation in the making of academ- ic-management decisions, our evidence indicates that the granting of faculty status will not necessarily bring about significant participation.

     summary: Six institutions were selected from the California sys- tem of state colleges and universities: all had similar academic objectives, sim- ilar levels of resources and formulas for resource allocation, and a similar range of reference services. If the library is to maintain and enlarge services, librarians must be pre- pared and encouraged to exercise initia- tive in using more library resources to promote available services as well as to provide them consistently, competently, and vigorously.

     summary: Because nonacademic (e.g., school, public, government, and spe- cial) library positions greatly outnumber those in academic libraries, it would be re- gretful if library schools were to so favor Ph.D. applicants that these highly-educated scholars would culminate their library edu- cation by vying for the privilege of running a circulation desk in a small town library. I believe, however, that the author IS needlessly worried about the ability of and, in fact, the desirability for library schools to respond to his so-called challenge by al- tering curricula and currying Ph.D.s.

For the multidisciplinary research teams which participate in program planning on a large scale, communication through a centralized document collection is as es- sential as the rarity of such systems in practice.

The re- sults were compared to an earlier study done by Roger Greer in 1961, and it was found that, in spite of the various attempts which had been made by the Library of Congress to expedite the cataloging of books, the time needed to get cataloging information had in fact increased.

     summary: Until the implications of this basic proposition of par- ticipatory management theory are clearly understood and faced up to, the achievement of faculty status and professorial titles will b.e a somewhat hollow victory. Neverthe- less, it is a problem which must be squarely faced if we are to avoid a situ- ation in which the promise inherent in faculty status and a truly profes- sional working environment becomes, in the end, a :rn,ess of pottage.

As the study for new or revised stan- dards for academic libraries is getting un- derway, it seems to me that the ACRL Standards Committee might well consider the possibility of a research/systems, or R & D, unit as one of the requirements in the standards for the libraries of senior re- search universities, and as a strong recom- mendation for those academic libraries on the tier immediately below the senior insti- tutions, and so on down the line.

     summary: While many of the observations in this paper may be applicable to circumstances in which state contracts cover only a portion of state- supported academic libraries or other cir- cumstances in which libraries retain the option of whether or not to utilize existing state-wide contracts, the focus of the in- vestigation was upon circumstances in which all academic libraries of state-sup- ported institutions are bound by contracts negotiated by the state. As observed by purchasing agents, li- brarians, and library vendors, the li- brary may enjoy equal benefits through individually-negotiated contracts and integration of other sound business practices into acquisition procedures as the state can gain by the collective con- tract.

     summary: The program assists libraries in reviewing and analyzing their current management policies and practices, and provides guidelines for the application of contemporary principles of management for the improvement of library programs. Incen- tives noted by past participants include significant changes in the university en- vironment, which call for reassessment of library programs; desire to involve staff more effectively in the resolution of basic issues facing the library; inter- est in conbibuting to the management training and education of librarians; and a need to order the library's priori- ties in regard to operating problems.

     summary: Little sys- tem,atic investigation has been undertak- en of library environments and the im- pact of those environments upon the individual library. Analysis of exchange in terms of these organizational characteristics should lead to the development of models for library exchange, which could be used to identify constraints that may be im- posed upon certain types of library ex- change.

     summary: One of the educational needs they identi- fied through a sample survey of federal li- brarians was the need for a post-master's course in library automation. Further, there is no men- tion of the two Decennial Cumulative In- dexes, 1941-1950 and 1951-1960, unless these were mistakenly referred to as .. de- cennial personal author indexes by the au- thors.

     summary: At first one is puzzled at the rather con- siderable success of this book, especially in comparison to earlier cooperative attempts to understand library education. Each author was asked to define the problem under discussion, to critically an- alyze previous research in this area, to sug- gest needed research, and finally to specu- late on how the findings generated by such research might be utilized to improve the quality of library education.

     summary: College and Research Libraries ROSE SEGRE University Libraries in Italy: The Crisis Persists Italian university libraries are poorly organized and underutilized de- spite efforts by professional librarians, who are few in number and given little of the deserved consideration in an atmosphere in which the growing importance of the library in the field of learning is not always understood. Vosper's re- port was published in 1962 in College and Research Libraries and Hamlin's survey appeared in Libri in 1965.1 These studies revealed the deficiencies of Italian university libraries: an almost absolute dearth of funds, both for the conservation and updating of their ex- tremely valuable collections and for the organization of adequate library ser- vices to students and scholars.

     summary: Applying the model to a specific example demonstrates its use in providing control over col- lection development and allowing for equitable distribution of book funds among funding units. These disciplines may constitute fund- ing units; in .turn, the general frame- work of funding units should for the most part reflect the academic structure of the university.2 Each funding unit should be assigned a proportion of the total number of li- brary-resource units to be acquired.

     summary: As THE woRK OF coLLEGES AND UNIVER- smES grows increasingly complex, and as educational budgets become smaller, the significance of a university archival program with records management au- thority becomes increasingly apparent. Ideally, this sup- port should take the form of a policy statement, made by an appropriate ad- ministrative officer, to the effect that: ( 1) records created by university admin- istrators and faculty members in the performance of · assigned administrative duties are the property of the univer- sity,5 ( 2) such records are not to be de- stroyed without the approval of the of- ficials in charge of the office where the records are maintained and the univer- sity archivist, ( 3) the university archives is to be the official depository for rec- ords of enduring administrative and/ or historical significance, and ( 4) the uni- versity archivist is to be the university official responsible for the identification and systematic transfer of inactive rec- ords from individual offices to the ar- chives.

     summary: During the years black collections in such libraries as the 135th Street Branch of the New York Public, Howard, Fisk, Yale, UCLA, and others have felt the influence of such persons as Arthur A. Schomburg, Carl Van Vechten, Lang- ston Hughes, and Arthur Spingarn, ei- ther through materials which they pre- sented to these libraries to enrich their collections or through the purchase of collections which they had assembled. The high mechanization, mas- sive collections, and generous budgets that characterize many of the prestig- ious libraries in America are unknown to black libraries.

Insufficient funds, the need for planned growth, necessity for a union catalog at local and nation- al levels, and effective deployment of library staff are compelling fac- tors for such centralization.

     summary: We have here a good mix of people, including library systems personnel, senior adminis- trators, and information specialists, chosen specifically for their professional experience with networking at one stage or another- designing, planning, developing, operating, and evaluating. Library school teachers are conspicuously absent, for the emphasis is squarely on the practical, not the academic.

     summary: Mr. McGrath is correct in that the model does not explain how one originally di- vides the total budget among funding units. However, whether opti- mal or not, by expressing their related dis- tribution in forms of resource units rather than dollars, a clearer impression of col- lection development will result.

     summary: 33 '· Testing these hypotheses requires an analysis of the values and personal goals of library decision makers, the power of competing interests in universities, the incentive structures surrounding li- brary administrators, and the nature of information available to decision mak- ers. This paper ends with ques- tions that library decision makers should ask, but no simple answers of what ac- tions to take if answers are found can be offered at this point.

     summary: In studying library cooperation as a process of exchange, it is possible to approximate its power to affect the ability of libraries to meet their professional obligations. wHEN SAMUEL s. GREEN UNFURLED THE BANNER of library cooperation in 1876, he was expressing two concerns: the need for a single library to provide a level of service which would satisfy its clients, and the concomitant need for a regularity in the means by which the librarian could increase the possibilities of service to a level nearer to the li- brarian's own expectations of what might be satisfactory In the sense that success cannot be achieved absolutely, much that is im- plied in library cooperation has only a symbolic value.

     summary: In addition, as Gibb's study notes, an in- crease in group size steadily increases the proportion of group members reporting feelings of threat and less willingness to initiate contributions. Varied attitudes and presuppositions of group members force individual contributors to think out and jus- tify proposed solutions; also, the different perspectives of group members allow them to see ramifi- cations of solutions not identifi- able to a single individual.

     summary: Closer cooperation between the li- brary staff and teaching faculty is often implied though rarely stated in studies of reserve book systems.2 Feedback from librarians to the faculty is the only means of indicating the actual use of reserve items. Unfortunately, the authors failed to look for any correlation be- tween teaching methods and usage of reserve material.

     summary: The communication network that Hayes proposes would use the hardware and some software of an existing time-sharing system to facilitate the trans- mittal of interlibrary loan requests and oth- er ILL messages; to refer requests to bibli- ographic data centers for better citations than appear on the request forms and for location information; to serve as a clearing house for billing and payment of fees; to provide statistical reports on interlibrary loan traffic and workload; and to provide access to on-line data bases. Mter evaluating each of the options and the possible impact of their implementation, the staff recommended that a system of payment be instituted that would allow all participating libraries to re- cover partial cost for interlibrary loans.

     summary: The fact that Dr. Leyh was Germany's leading li- brarian during the critical three-score years following the turn of the century, however, does mean that the work is replete with food for the thought of those who would ponder the politicization of libraries. Dr. Leyh appears to have conceptualized his philosophy of librarianship quite fully during his student days at Munich, Stras- bourg, and Tiibingen between 1896 and 1901; in essence it was that libraries have a high humanistic and scholarly purpose that can and must keep aloof of ideological and political issues.

     summary: Al- though Sabin's original entries are often ab- breviated and sometimes inaccurate in their particulars, most Sabin users are able to lo- cate the Library of Congress entry, if one exists; this New Sabin innovation is actual- ly a minor convenience. And since no provision has been made for correlating New Sabin and Dictionary entry numbers, working back from New Sabin to the Dictionary is not al- ways an easy matter.

     summary: The conclusions drawn by Baaske, Tol- liver, and Westerberg in a way corroborate the results of my earlier study, that is that overdue notices appear to have an impor- tant reminder effect and improve the return rate of overdue books (p.359). Thus it would seem that a true test of the effect of overdue notices could only be con- ducted in a less contaminated environment, utilizing a more homogeneous group of borrowers, and focusing on book returns in a particular subject area.

Professional associations in particular are in a quandary over the labor issue: Will they become the collective bargain- ing agents, or is this role precluded by their very nature?

In critical budget times, answers to the urgent fiscal problems confront- ing administrators and trustees are not likely to come from the presently avail- able hardware and systems convenient- ly described as library technology.

Although students have been, and are being used at reference desks in many college and university libraries, this resource has not been developed as fully as perhaps it could be.

STUDY OF CIRCULATION STATISTICS Circulation statistics for periods be- fore and after the start of LENDS were analyzed to determine if the avail- ability of LENDS was related to an in- crease in library books circulated to fac- ulty.

      flesch: 43
     summary: A defensible profession- al position classification must rational- ize, first, the optimum use of profes- sional personnel as distinct from sup- port staff and, second, the ranking of professional positions on an ordina·l scale in terms of key factors of profes- sional service. The fourth assumption is that ranking factors for professional positions must relate to those general factors which identify the positions as professional.

This document is designed to provide criteria for infor- mation, self-study, and planning.2 The new Guidelines have moved away from quantitative criteria to general de- scriptions of organization and objec- tives and services, and are in direct con- trast to the specific recommendations set forth in the Standards · for Junior Col- lege Libraries.

      flesch: 46
     summary: The best that a potential ar- chivist can hope for is an occasional course in library school which not only focuses on manuscripts and special col- lections, but on archives generally.1 Lacking formal preparation, a librarian who is appointed college archivist must tum to the literature of the field to find some guidance. Unfortunately, relevant information is difficult to find: library journals traditionally eschew archival articles and the American Archivist's ar- ticles on college archives are frequently no more than institutional case studies.2 The new archivist, therefore, confronts his job with few guidelines or sugges- tions.

     summary: College and Research Libraries MAURICE B. LINE and ALEXANDER SANDISON Practical Interpretation of Citation and Library Use Studies Most studies of journal citations and library use are of little if any practical use to librarians and information system designers because of inadequate data collection and analysis. Such statements as the half life of physics literature is four years, so far from being of practical use, are extremely danger- ous, since they take no account of several important factors.

     summary: If each department receives a constant share of the library's budgeted expenditures, there must be a relative reduction in the number of resource units acquired by departments whose price indexes rise more than average. Kohut considers this reduction inappropriate, since the ini- tial division of resource units was pre- sumably optimal.

Perhaps no other group of students has ever needed academic library services more than the educationally disadvantaged.

     summary: The administration of academic libraries is certainly different from that of other kinds and probably calls for a profes- sional association of academic library administrators. Much, if not most, of the trouble academic library managers suffer is related to their weak grasp of what they are or should be trying to be.

     summary: A contrary view, not specifically related to libraries, is expressed by Strauss, who cites four possible dysfunctional aspects of decision making by groups: individuals whose opinions have been rej.ected by the group may be alienated; the ex- pectations aroused by group participa- tion lead to further demands that man- agement cannot always satisfy; the pro- cess of group decision making may prove frustrating to several in the group; though participation niay bring about group cohesiveness, cohesiveness might be turned against, as well as in favor of, management.24 Bundy sees relief from tension through the formation in academic li- braries of departments modeled on those found elsewhere in academic in- stitutions. Though participation is easily misunderstood, is costly to introduce properly, and sometimes has led to ex- pectations that cannot be met, its use by management in the United States (and elsewhere) has grown; in fact, to a large number of managers participation is old hat, except that managemenf s un- derstanding of participation is seldom the same as Likert's.

It is particularly encouraging to note, however, that the seminar placed special emphasis on the need for general availabili- ty as opposed to widespread ownership of these materials, going so far as to suggest the establishment of a European lending library for Third World publications.

     summary: Missing factors include num- ber of faculty, number of charges for the same title, reserve book use, use of the periodicals collection, graduate work offered, need for a wide range of titles, and use of books outside one's discipline. Since the circulation figures are by class number, there is not the distortion which might come about if one used as a basis the amount spent on books or the number of volumes requested by a department regardless of where they might be classified.

     summary: $6.00. (LC 74-8420) (ISBN 0-8108-07 38-6) David W. Davies, long an academic li- brarian and a historian and typophile as well, here turns a critical, somewhat ironi- cal eye on the relationship between goals and programs of public libraries in Great Britain and North America. Davies argues that public libraries, founded by nineteenth-century upper- and middle-class philanthropists convinced of the perfectibility of humankind, eager to uplift the masses, and persuaded that read- ing was intrinsically virtuous and refining, were, like other educational and cultural institutions, started by similar people and for similar re~sons (lyceums, athenaeums, literary and scientific societies, mechanics' institutes), paternalistic and elitist.

     summary: Delavenay declares: As regards access to books, 70 per cent of the inhabitants of the globe are underdeveloped. Even more alarming is the impact of the world population explosion in the 1950s and 1960s which has meant that the number of books per readers in the under- developed countries has actually decreased!

     summary: Classification in the somewhat pragmatic terms in which it is generally practiced in American academic libraries is limited to the arrangement of books on library shelves by means of general schemes of biblio- graphic classification, most often the Dewey Decimal Classification or that of the Li- brary of Congress. Perhaps it is the much improved bib- lf.ographic control over report literature which now permits disappointment when a new survey is itself weak and disorderly.

     summary: College and Research Libraries Letters Bibliography of Africana To the Editor: Hans Panofsky' s Bibliography of Africana may be every bit as bad as Peter Duignan says it is (C&RL, November 1975), but at that it is no worse than the judgment of whoever selects the C&RL reviewers (and Mr. Duignan's judgment in accepting the assignment).

     summary: Clearly, library management and those not directly involved with some of the basic is- sues of collective bargaining in libraries are curious choices for presenting a fair and complete picture of library unionization. (LC 75-25240) (ISBN 0-87845-042-4) The entry of librarians into organized la- bor relations presents a largely misunder- stood challenge to the ethics of librarian- ship, even though it is estimated that in the United States some 33 ·percent of school li- brarians, 20 percent of academic librarians, and 10 percent of public librarians already are represented by collective bargaining.

     summary: The handsome monument, named a National Historic Landmark in 1966, continues to serve as the home of one of the world's great research collections and as the symbolic capstone of a system of libraries to serve the people of New York City.-W. L. Williamson, Professor, University of Wisconsin-Madison Acknowledgments: Edward White, William L. Coakley, and David V. Erdman, New York Public Library. As beneficiary of the Astor Library in 1848, New York had been favored by the services of the premier endowed reference library, but by the end of the century its early good fortune clearly was a factor in delaying the establishment of library services suitable to all the people of the com- munity.

     summary: It is also interesting to compare successive editions of two of the bibles of university library adminis- tration and to note not only the amount of space given to library organization but more especially to the change in the treatment of the subject. Cost is certainly one of the most important factors in library organization, and li- brarians continually try to develop sys- tems which make the most efficient and effective use of all resources and to cor- rect organizational patterns which result in expensive or inadequate service.

     summary: As personal · as- sistance came to be recognized as an important feature of library service, it acquired a distinctive name-refer- ence work -and departmental sta- tus.26 Even with the acceptance of the need for reference service, there was no con- sensus on what functions were appropri- ate for the academic library to offer. Although Branscomb's study is not a model for the solution of college library problems through the ap- plication of scientific methods, it did draw extensively upon research studies, and it did question basic assumptions about library service in provocative ways.

      flesch: 58
     summary: And so we come from Cutter to the computer, from Cutter's clear statement of what cataloging should be as a basis for uniformity of practice to the com- puter as ' a tool for implementing coop- erative and centralized cataloging with all that implies for library service. These are: ( 1) the .achievement of a standard format for bibliographic records in machine-readable form and the associated production at the Li- brary of Congress and elsewhere of a sizable data base of such records; ( 2) a continuing sharp decrease in the cost of certain components of electronic data processing systems; ( 3) continu- ing increases in the capacity and re- liability of electric communications channels with concomitant decreases in the unit costs of the channels; and ( 4) the creation of evolving modular, computer-based library systems, which take advantage of the three other changes just mentioned.l92 Based on D. R. Swanson's predictions, Hanson and Daily describe the most ad- vanced form of the catalog of the fu- ture as a computerized catalog with eleven performance goals: User dialogues (programmed interro- gation), aids to browsing, user-indexed library, access to in-depth information, wheat and chaff identification, national network of libraries, national net- work of bibliographic tools, instant in- formation, remote interrogation and delivery, active dissemination, and quality control over library services (improved feedback) ,

     summary: A study of circula- tion records of books purchased be- tween July 1971 and June 1973 also supports other findings that after initial interest the circulation of the majority of new books drops close to zero. However, to achieve this goal, libraries buy, process, and use up shelf space with a multitude of other books that are not wanted.

     summary: After all, if one agrees that rare books and special collections constitute a special cate- gory of materials requiring different treat- ment from the mass of library materials as to acquisition, processing, preservation, and exploitation, then problems are seen to emerge which are indigenous to the materi- al, not endemic to ·a geographical point in space and time. Cave devotes short chapters to discussing the nature of the rare book, acquisitions, processing, care and restoration, housing (custodianship) , organization, publicity and publications (exploitation), and the training of rare book librarians.

     summary: Another dominant figure in the Amer- ican library world, Justin Winsor, Har- vard University librarian, also adhered to the view .that practical experience in a well-organized library was the best preparation for librarianship, and John Shaw Billings, later director of the New York Public Library, spoke emphatical- ly against the proposal to create a school to teach librarianship. Thus, there was little consistency sev- enty-five years ago in the classification of library staff members among the na- tion's universities.

     summary: The 1930 standards ap- proved at the Los Angeles Conference were quite modest but were beyond all but a few libraries then: A book collec- tion of 10,000 volumes for the first 500 students, an annual expenditure of $5 per student for materials, and a staff of at least two professional librarians.7 The breakthrough in development of junior college libraries came from the action in 1938 of the Carnegie Corpora- tion in making a series of ninety-two grants to junior college libraries. Through this move the need for finan- cial support of junior college libraries was dramatized, and local support was encouraged.

     summary: The agency relationship goes back at least to the early London career of the [ forceful and learned Henry Stevens, , who primarily served wealthy private collectors but who also had a close rela- tionship with American libraries. This appraisal was supported by Yale's An- drew Keogh, who spoke of the regret- table condition of our scholarly librar- ies with regard to both the primary and secondary sources of research.21 But an economic depression and other factors, including the lack of an effec- tive organizational structure, prevented any forceful attack on the book poverty problem until another war in the 1940s once again cut American libraries off from the European book market and li- braries and thereby reemphasized the gaps in American collections.

     summary: In fact, this may be asserted as almost axiomatic: unless a college or univer- sity is willing to be stagnant, unless it is willing not to maintain its place in the steady flow of educational devel- opment, it has to double its library in size every sixteen years, or there- abouts.a Here, Rider appropriated the truism that there exists a direct correlation be- tween continuous library growth and the educational effectiveness of any uni- versity, combined it with his conclusion about the past rate of library growth, and thereby constructed a seemingly in- contestable argument from which he ex- trapolated his hypothesis about the rate of future library growth. The 1965 Purdue study of library growth in a sense verified Rider's hypathesis and its use as a predictive tool.

Unfortunate- ly or fortunately, limited book output will not automatically result in limited libraries, since books do not easily die or rot (in spite of the efforts of some publishers); unlike TV sets, they are both media and matter.

     summary: Throughout its ten years of existence, the LTR has offered a number of objective and clearly presented reports and evaluations on many library products, systems, and ser- vices. I hope it will be fol- lowed by more systematic analyses, related to different types of library, and above all by reports of carefully monitored practical experience in libraries following some of the principles advocated.

     summary: A recurrent theme in his article is the cost effectiveness of such systems, and he emphasizes that this subject is the area of great vacuum in the literature. It is too bad that the Annual Review has not seen fit to update its coverage of one of the real advances in information science and computer technology; namely, data base management systems (last covered in Recent Publications I 561 volume 7).

     summary: As in the U.S., well-publicized contro- versies over library materials in Britain have usually been the product of citizens' complaints (an outraged mother wrote to the Bury Free Press in 1960: If members of the Town Council's libraries committee are aware of certain types of novels, some of them really disgusting ... ), as well as the public decisions of library committees reluctant to endanger public morals and the support of libraries by local ratepayers.

Academic librarians usually feel them- selves above the continuing battle between the censor and the advocate of intellectual freedom.

     summary: This study surpasses all others on two major points: it was done on a nation-wide scale, and it encompassed aU types of libraries except school libraries. The ma- terial is far from out-of-date for, as the au- thor advocates, the study of reference books should emphasize the books themselves, their time and place, their history as shown in their prefaces, as well as in the often-re- peated criteria for reference book evalua- tion, and the reader should seek historical perspective and understanding in using this collection.

     summary: Few would deny that many librarians, including those whose positions carry spe- cific responsibility for the task, know less than they should about library operations. For instance, the statement is made that the new low cost of video equip- ment (a portable black-and-white camera- recorder combination available for about $2,000) makes this equipment attractive to many libraries.

     summary: Durey is clearly aware, as many of his readers may not be, of the fact that the academic department or collegiate model may not work in libraries; that quality li- braries do not really have a very high pri- ority in academia; that unionization may well lead to lower standards; that insisting that library science is an academic disci- pline is pretentious if not fraudulent; and that as the opportunities for academic ap- pointments constrict, both faculty and li- brarians have, not surprisingly, become self- serving to a degree which makes laughable our claims of professionalism. Indeed there have been some distressing cases of professional- ly competent librarians being refused ten- ure because they could not meet criteria which included teaching and scholarly pub- lications.), suggest he recognizes that cur- rent serious management problems exist within the framework of some facts which are not fully perceived by the profession, and are unpalatable as well.

     summary: There is no mention of either budgets for acquisition or costs of modern maps, an unfortunate omission as these are major problems in map libraries today. And since the Association of American Library Schools had as its sole interest the educa- tion of librarians and the development of library schools, one wonders why it is not given more detailed and systematic treat- ment.

     summary: In the chapter on the classification of local maps, the author takes on the prob- lems of very small areas within cities and parishes and suggests using the British na- tional topographic series numbering (na- tional grid) at scales up to 1 : 1,250 to break down these areas; this is an obvious solution for a country that has such a de- tailed topographic series. The volume, Function and Organization of a National Documentation Centre in a Developing Country, produced by the FID Developing Country Working Group, under the direction of Harald Schutz, presents a statement of the nation's role in establish- ing and managing national documentation, information, and library systems.

Many times these records are useful in the identifi'- cation of the thieves and thus are valu- able in later prosecution and recovery of stolen items.

Proof of the willful concealment of such book or other library property while still on the premises of such library shall be prima facie evidence of intent to commit lar- ceny thereof.

     summary: A MAJOR lMPEDIMENT TO EFFICIENT LI- BRARY VSE is library book theft. Just as the white collar crime perspective suggests that there is pressure from status inconsistency which motivates white collar criminals to trespass the law, many librarians have suggested that library book theft is a re- sponse to academic pressure.16

     summary: The amount of material available and acquired in microform has increased steadily, although there has been no trend toward the acquisition of books and jour- nals directly in microform. Relying heavily on interviews with students using the library of the U Diversity of Giessen in 1971, as well as on published reports, Wie- gand concludes that students, insofar as they have any understanding of the role of librarians at all, rank them-and their card catalogs-well behind faculty or browsing when selecting books or following a line of inquiry.

No heed is given to the fact that archives for public records are primarily extensions of administration and have only secondary value for research, thereby clearly differen­ tiating them from manuscript collections which are assembled primarily for research.

The same author in his 1975 volume, The Com- munity College Library, however, em- phasized the present lack of uniformi- ty.5 A survey of junior colleges in the 1960s indicated that the trend is toward a combined media department and li- brary, thus creating a learning resource center or an instructional materials cen- ter;6 and another study described an integrated complex, a new academic phenomenon, called a learning center with library and nonbook resources op- erating together under centralized ad- ministration.

The chapter reasoned that the most effective means of present- ing the case for librarians to other fac- ulty and administrators on campus would be to reinforce each position con- cerning a faculty right or responsibility with evidence for the stance in the form of data gathered from institu- tions claiming faculty status for librari- ans.

Reference librarians may seek the opinions of subject bib- liographers and of appropriate members of the teaching fac- ulty as needed in making weeding decisions.

     summary: The interesting data supplied in this col- lection of quantitative surveys of scientific review sources are from counts made in the early 1970s from journals held by the Countway Library of Medicine at Harvard and the science and engineering libraries at M.I.T. Insight on such variables as extent of coverage, time lag, duplication patterns, length of review, subject orientation, and the relative emphasis on U.S. and British imprints is furnished in successive chapters for general biomedical books, books on clin- ical medicine, general scientific books, and publications in the special disciplines of mathematics, astronomy, physics, chemis- try, geology, and engineering. Few science librarians would deny the repeated assertions that book reviews are a valuable means of keeping abreast of current research and of evaluating and se- lecting new acquisitions.

Formal bibliographic description has been most ably supplied by Thomas Lange, assistant curator of printed books at the Morgan Library, and for that alone the book would be an invaluable tool for li- braries (although fuller descriptions of many of the books are to be found in R. V. Tooley's English Books with Coloured Plates and the catalogs of the color-plate book collection of J. R. Abbey, to which reference is made).

The rele- vance of hits retrieved from CAIN in Norway ran only 30 percent so that users, on the whole, felt dissatisfied.14 The University of California had CAIN SDI services in operation since January 1972 and has had CAIN on-line since October 1973.

     summary: Among the major features of the SCA TT (National Scientific Communication and Technology Transfer) System proposed are the provision for prepublication entry of documents; a mechanism for redundancy checking of all manuscripts; a structured fee system wherein invited papers would have no charges, uninvited but refereed and accepted papers would get partial re- covery of processing costs, and uninvited, unrefereed, or rejected papers would be charged the total processing cost; establish- ment of national, regional, and local centers with separate but interlocking functions; user feedback on document relevancy and quality; and the potentiality for internation- al extension of the system. The most irritat- ing reading is Kraft and McDonald on library operations research, which I am not entirely convinced even belongs in the book.

     summary: But it is worth consid- ering some flaws in what may still be con- sidered as one of the more useful texts because they reflect characteristic short- comings, not only of library history as it has been written, but of the kind of tedious courses to which library school students are often subjected. In sum, it is an old-fashioned approach Recent Publications I 355 that suffers by comparison with recent works in library history, especially those ap- pearing in conjunction with the American Bicentennial that called attention to the richness the field holds for its students and the greater sophistication in handling the subject deserves.-W.

     summary: What emerges from Access is a clear picture of what Canadian libraries are doing to organize and service their govern- ments' publications. More seriously, when the authors move be- yond statistics to the organic relationship between libraries and the societies in which they exist, their treatment is often unimaginative or downright naive.

     summary: Several times the author mentions that academic librarians have severe prob- lems in collective bargaining because of their minority position in the bargaining unit, but little comment is made as to how to solve this dilemma. The work concludes with a summary of the prospects for collective bargaining, in- cluding a thoughtful examination of its im- pact on libraries as well as librarians.

Assuming that departmental policy encouraged responsibility for communication problem questions and that professionals were properly moti- vated and trained to deal with these questions, this type of arrangement might result in increased time for inter:- viewing and locating correct informa- tion.

     summary: Few librarians will question the value that intellectual methodology offers library decision makers in selecting among alterna­ tive models for library planning. Although this, too, is already in library planning literature, it has never been explained better.

     summary: It was a period of major growth for all aca- demic libraries, reaching its peak with the Parry Report of 1967, giving official sup- port to the need for increasing financial support to university libraries, but coming back rudely to earth less than a decade later with the 1976 report of the Atkinson committee (reviewed in the July 1977 issue of C&RL) with its concept of the self-re- newing library. Eighteen years later in 1975, Harrison Bryan, now university librarian of the U ni- versity of Sydney, again had a study leave to survey English university libraries.

Apart from the observations that librar- ies, publishers, and authors should be subsi- dized, probably by the federal government, and that continuing research be conducted to establish continuing dialog, the reviewer found little to indicate that the authors had developed the data into proposed joint ac- tions.

The German handbook's essay on library instruction draws on American models; al- though it does little more than summarize current thinking in German libraries on this important topic, I found this straight- forward overview preferable to the article in the Encyclopedia, which is flawed with trendy social science jargon.

     summary: The essays raise a number of interesting issues: the contrast in purpose and point of view between subject bibliography, as con- ceived by the academic community, and li- brary cataloging (essay 1); the scholarly contribution of book reviews and distortion of their scientific function by evaluative perspectives imported from literary and art criticism (essay 4); ways in which conven- tional bibliographic styles and standards suppress scientifically valuable data about books (essay 7) ; the potential of biblio- graphic organization for shaping the char- acter of a field of study (essay 8) and for illuminating trends in a subject's develop- ment (essays 9, 10, 13). These editorials, some of which have been reprinted previously in journals, are here collected in book form under the editorship of two of the principal collab- orators on MHBRI.

     summary: To concentrate on academic libraries: Did you know that a one-time expenditure of $1.5 billion would buy us all the books we are missing and that we would only also have to increase our annual expenditure by about a third, from $300 million to $400 million a year, and we could keep steady? Yet did you also know that, in total, collec- tions in academic libraries are 99 percent adequate but that two-year colleges are 50 percent adequate and public four-year col- leges are exactly 100 percent adequate; that private universities are 177 percent adequate, while public universities are only 111 percent adequate?

     summary: It is true that, barring catastrophe, there are demographic certainties ahead-for example, a startling reduction in· the number of eighteen-year-olds over the next decade-that have profound implications for higher education. Let me suggest, first of all, some patterns and developments in higher education that will be as viable in the 1980s as they have been in the past.

      flesch: 49
     summary: Libraries are in an excellent position to offer potential for self-actualization and fulfillment of employees' needs at both the professional and the support level because library work is socially significant and can easily be restructured to achieve individual and organizational compatibility. In contrast to most other studies on library job descriptions, which are usually descriptions of general and rather vague duties, their task analysis is specific and spells out in detail the exact functions and duties of librarians, techni- cians, and clerical workers for various li- brary subsystems.

     summary: However, the 1960s were boom years for undergraduate libraries, and by 1972 there were forty-nine collections in· the country. Although the first separately housed (i.e., housed in its own building separate from the main library) undergraduate library was not established until 1949, the concept of a separate library can be traced to the mid- 1930s when Keys Metcalf, then librarian of Harvard University, began advocating the construction of an undergraduate library building at Harvard.

It is not, however, written at an elementary or superficial level and will perhaps find its greatest usefulness as a standard reference for researchers and for practicing librarians who take an objective, evaluative approach to library services and programs.

Second, bound vol- umes of engineering journals occupy 55 percent of available space in the engineer- ing collection, but they account for only 13 percent of circulation despite a liberal policy that allows journals to circulate for two weeks just as any other book.

     summary: College and Research Libraries of us are acutely aware of the escalating cost of delivering library services and of the sta- tic and declining budgets of libraries; likewise, we are aware of the many man- agement techniques that can be used to realign libraries' objectives and activities and to rationalize the budget process. Another contributor's suggestion that the business profit making model be applied to libraries to the extent that underutilized Recent Publications I 153 programs be dropped in favor of increasing support for highly used ones, that under- utilized services be sold, that library users be charged a fee, and his advice that librar- ies become the source and managers of all knowledge, information and data bases in the country (p.54) manifest an embarras- singly naive understanding of libraries and the knowledge industry.

     summary: It should he helpful to librarians, to library educators, and to students who are interested in intel- lectual freedom.-Martha Boaz, Dean, School of Library Science, University of Southern California, Los Angeles. Examples of sacrifice of full, precise ex- planation in the interest of simplification are too numerous in this edition of the text to warrant its use by other than experienced library researchers or advanced students.

     summary: To accommodate the for- mat, of course, reductions are inevitable for many books, but the legends include origi- nal measurements. Academic libraries in England have fallen on hard times indeed : Norman Roberts, writing in the November 1977 C& RL, touched upon some of the dire fiscal realities now facing English college and uni- versity libraries and enumerated several steps they are taking to curtail spending; the controversial Atkinson Report (reviewed in the July 1977 C&RL) , recommended a self-renewing library of limited size (a Ia Daniel Gore) as the government-imposed model for future academic library develop- ment.

     summary: Through all the collective hand wringing comes one speaker (neither a librarian nor a lecturer but a representative of the National Union of Students) with the most cogent and thoughtful-though undeveloped- suggestions for doing more with less: shar- ing of resources among libraries; fuller utili- zation of existing library resources; im- proved course planning and lecturer-library coordination; a more collective approach in learning methodologies and student library use; a more sharply defined distinction be- tween research institutions and undergradu- ate teaching institutions together with cor- responding differences in the library re- sources of each. Data and information were gathered from faculty, student, and library sur- veys, interviews, and by task forces in the areas of management and structural processes, human resources, library resources and services, and technology and facilities.

     summary: Students were pretested and post- tested using the Feagley Test and responded to questionnaires for demographic information, pre- vious library instruction, library use, and at- titudes. To test the effect of library instruction on learn- ing basic knowledge and skills in using reference tools, thirty-three Ball State University students received such instruction in a course on informa- tion resources in libraries.

In many respects, her most sig- nificant role came in the influence she had on others of that period-especially on the young women with whom she came in con- tact in those formative years of library work, who, in tum, brought their forces to bear on the library community.

     summary: Because each institution has established its own patterns of organization and criteria for rarity and special status, it is impossible, and probably unnecessary, to obtain agreement on universal and standard criteria for Japanese rare books. Perhaps the most important bibliography of Japanese rare books in the United States is now being corvpiled by Andrew Kuroda of the Orientalia Division of the Library of Congress.

     summary: College and Research Libraries HERBERT S. WHITE and KAREN MOMENEE Impact of the Increase in Library Doctorates A questionnaire was mailed to recipients of library doctoral degrees between 1930 and 1975 to determine the present and preferred areas of activity, evaluations of the doctoral degree as a factor in obtaining and performing present duties, and self-assessments of involvement in library research. The second is a survey of pre- sent holders of library doctorate degrees to determine how they perceive the impor- tance of the degree to the performance of their tasks and to attempt a ·relationship be- tween their academic credentials and their research scholarship.

     summary: Beyond this introduc- tion, the librarian can make use of detailed reports dealing with five basic topics: the deacidification of paper, the salvage of water-damaged library materials, the man- ufacturing of permanent paper, the causes of paper deterioration, and the establishing of paper testing methods. In the study of the causes of paper deterioration and the means to pre- dict paper stability, one conclusion is outstanding-the paper in books must be preserved rather than rescued.

It is perhaps indicative of a failure to cope adequately with the circumstances de- scribed above that a number of articles have appeared in recent years deploring the pre- sent state of library management.

      flesch: 50
     summary: But while user charges may be a neces- sary complement to on-line search services, it should be recognized that their imposition may cause patrons, with heightened expec- tations toward efficient information re- trieval, to feel justified in demanding im- provements in related library services. Some examples of articles dealing with the transitional aspects of manual versus on-line searching are: Margaret M. Bivens, A Com- parison of Manual and Machine Literature Searches, Special Libraries 65:216-22 (May/June 1974); Stanley A. Elman, Cost Comparison of Manual and On-line Com- puterized Literature Searching, Special Li- braries 66:12-18 (Jan. 1975); Ronald M. Kaminecki and others, Searching CA Con- densates, On-Line and Batch, paper pre- sented at the annual meeting of the American Chemical Society, Chicago, Ill., Aug. 26, 1975 (available as ERIC document ED 121303).

     summary: journal editors are en- couraged to publish the purpose and scope of their periodical, as well as the method and criteria used to review unsolicited manuscripts. Previous treat- ments of this topic tend to concentrate on the quality of manuscripts submitted to journal editors and not on the closely re- lated editorial review and selection process.

     summary: Collections are measured in thousands, annual expenditures for books might well be less than $2,500, and the size of the staff might range from a total of one to five or six persons. In India, however, where all too many li- brarians are still held personally accountable for book losses and where the professor- in-charge is still the nominal if not actual head of the college library, the librarian's struggle for recognition as a professional and for a significant measure of authority tends to compound these problems.

     summary: The chapter on theft problems of journal, nonprint, and special collections is slightly less satisfying, perhaps because the work done in these areas is less complete and theft problems less easily evaluated. The author argues that if the in- ventory is considered as a tool to achieve other valuable ends, for example, weeding, preservation, etc., in addition to calculating book losses, it may be a cost-effective pro- cedure.

     summary: It tells us the amount of money that must be committed in order to spend the budget to 100 percent by the end of the fiscal year, as shown in equation (6), below: U = Allocation - (PSF + ASF) (6) where U = Probable amount of money not spent (or overspent) at the end of the fiscal year (probable fiscal end balance) PSF = Probable spent figure from adding the probable spent figure for each outstanding order in that allocation ASF = Actual spent figure for that allocation to date The .probable fiscal end balance, if nega- tive, implies that new ordering should stop for the time being; if positive, implies that more orders should be processed. Obviously, orders may be grouped by type in order to maximize this possibil- ity.

     summary: In Chapter 9, Miscellaneous Microform Topics, learning packages, collections of key literature, theses in microform , color microforms , archival quality microforms and standards, cataloging microforms in the library , sources or general bibliographic guides to micropublications, informational guides on microform equipment, and use of microforms in hospitals are briefly exam- ined. To state that it is being omitted from consideration as a suitable type of format because it is inconvenient to use and is thus a negative factor in promoting microform use leaves a major problem area of microform librar- ianship unaddressed (p.l05).

     summary: Information scientists are grappling with problems in our domain: with the change from resource as physical record to resource as knowledge and with information systems that permit interaction between people and stored knowledge rather than between people and stored document descriptions. The definition of information science given in the introduction to this book is that set of principles and prescriptive rules dealing with the organization, maintenance and management of bodies of scientific, techni- cal and business information used in deci- sion making (p.2).

     summary: Euphoric over its wartime successes , ALA fashioned the enlarged program in 1919, a bold plan that encompassed creation of an endowment, adult education, extensive pub- licity, and reforms in library education. A cascade of federal library programs, all en- dorsed by ALA, were soon to come.

It is unfortu- nate that the Nordic presentations could not have been translated-one must be content with English-language summaries-but the sections dealing with non-Nordic lending are presented in English and in their en- tirety.

     summary: Thomas Buckman, president of the Foun- Recent Publications I 13 dation Center, treated information as a commodity and discussed the economic im- plications posed by new technology; Gerald Shields of the School of Information and Li- brary Studies, SUNY Buffalo, invited analysis of the new role of librarians result- ing from that technology; and Fay Blake of the School of Library Science, University of California at Berkeley, warned that public access to information must be determined, not by technology, but by librarians with a clear notion of their patrons' need. OCLC director Fred Kilgour briefly re- viewed past applications of technology to li- braries, chiefly in cataloging, and invited participants to speculate on the fountain of beneficial effects about to shower forth as computer technology moved librarianship into another of its great ages.

     summary: Seltzer is concerned not with the heated Recent Publications I 81 and narrow arguments among librarians, publishers, and authors that have sur- rounded the emergence of the Copyright Act of 1976, but rather with analyzing the constitutional and theoretical foundations of copyright and with formulating an intellec- tually sound framework for the continuing public policy debate on the proper limits of copyright protection. One is that of exemptions from copyright control made by Congress to accommodate competing interests.

      flesch: 54
     summary: This first national conference for academic librarians was not a time for retrospection; rather the conference theme, New Horizons for Academic Libraries, provided a chance to look forward to the changes , opportunities, and challenges awaiting college, university, and research libraries in this last quarter of the twentieth century. Warren J. Haas succeeded her and presented his overview of the ways and means involved in the future of academic library management.

     summary: In the future we are likely to witness a growing interest and movement within higher education institutions toward mini- mal standards for college education and stricter justification for offerings in terms of size and quality. We hope this will mean more stu- dents entering higher education institutions who know how to read, write, and think and who will be able to use the library, that most important facility, from the start.

        date: 1979

     summary: I would also include policies that deter- mine the physical condition of collections ; those that establish the patterns of staff composition; those that set the quality and scope of library service; and those that es- tablish the degree of dependence or inter- dependence of a library on other libraries or on externally provided services-in short , the policies that determine library capabilities, library costs, and library character. The prospects seem strong that a Department of Education will be es- tablished by the next Congress , and the placement of library programs in that re- structuring is a topic worthy of attention.

     summary: Over and above these central costs, there are some two thousand terminals purchased by library networks or individual libraries rep- resenting, ignoring depreciation, an aggregate investment of about $7,400,000. It seems reasonably clear that only large firms, the federal government, a few large states, and large library networks will be able to undertake the capital investment needed to support complex, large-scale on-line net- works and to provide the continuing research and development needed to mount new ser- vices.

     summary: When the new scheme was applied, how- ever, it became apparent to the members of the committee that not all of the elements in the scheme should have the same influ- ence in determining position classification. During that time the committee dealt with a variety of practical and philosophical problems in preparing a new document upon which to base the clas- sification of professional positions in the university library.

     summary: College and Research Libraries JOHN A. KERNAGHAN, SALVINIJA G. KERNAGHAN, ROBERT D. O'KEEFE, and ALBERT H. RUBENSTEIN The Influences of Traditional Services on Library Use This study, on the relationship between user preferences, library charac- teristics, and the fr eq u ency of library use, employing a sample of 655 students in fi ve medical schools, supports in a tentative fashion some tra- ditional principles relating library characteristics to frequency of use. Other factors assumed to influence library use, such as the availability of au- diovisual materials or th e physical comfort of the library , do not appear to be related to frequency of use.

     summary: With data collected by the Clarkson library's periodical use survey, titles with only or heavier non- Clarkson use may be exchanged so that ma- terials are located where optimum use might be expected. Departmental and sub- ject printouts ranking titles by use will allow comparisons with other use and citation studies, 7 ,s and a citation analysis of Clarkson's theses may determine whether subscriptions in applicable subject areas should be lowered in favor of books.

     summary: Considering the importance of indexes for the use of newspaper titles, one would be inclined to purchase only indexed titles. The case in favor of such basic titles as the New York Times , Wall Street jour- nal , and Chicago Tribune is clear, but the case for purchasing other newspaper titles is far more complex.

     summary: Serial control records are usually based on entry forms. The cataloging and classification of library materials are important investments accounting for perhaps 25 percent of library revenue and staff time, and the prospect of instant obsolescence, proposed for January 2, 1981, is unnerving.

     summary: In summary, this text does a very nice job of outlining design and efficiency con- siderations for information data bases and retrieval systems.-Eleanor Montague , Uni- versity of California, Riverside . The author has two stated purposes: first, to introduce the student of computer sci- ence to the basic concepts of the retrieval of alphabetic information and to describe tech- niques for developing suitable computer programs for retrieval and, second, to de- scribe the general structure of data bases and computer programs so that librarians, information scientists, and others without a computer science background can under- stand and appreciate basic design considera- tions of information retrieval systems.

     summary: Too many of the arguments and justifica- tions for computer systems naturally come from the experts in the field , who are also, incidentally , the vendors of the systems. The lack of such a list in Christian's book is not critical, but when the author states Recent Publications I 285 that bibliographic data bases have multi- plied from 100 in 1975 to 360 by early 1978, it seems incumbent upon him to satisfy the reader's curiosity about what those data bases are.

     summary: Since such information is lacking, the tapes are mainly a reiteration of instructional mate- rials that are already available in the gener- ally excellent pamphlets that the publishers of the various units of the legal bibliography make freely available to law students. The strategies furthermore often have to be tailored not only to the legal problem involved but also to the range of legal research materials that are available, and they always are affected by the knowledge and experience of the person doing the research.

     summary: According to its chairman, Professor Donald Stokes of Princeton, the latest study differs from its predecessors in considering the limitations as well as the potentialities of social research for governmental purposes; in encompassing all aspects of knowledge production and application (including, for example, collection of social statistics) in addition to research and development as conventionally defined; and in including nonfederal users and uses in calculating the benefits of federal knowledge-promoting ac- tivities. Among the study group's recommen- dations are that federal research sponsorship be more -systematically planned, as well as increased; that research users outside gov- ernment be involved in planning; that dis- semination activities include periodic syntheses of the knowledge gained from re- search (a propos.al that recalls the Weinberg Report of 1963); and that the role of knowl- edge brokers-officials whose job is to iden- tify and elucidate for government and the scientific community their opportunities for mutual betterment-be enlarged.

     summary: The contents move from a his- torical perspective on library services to this group: the psychology of the disabled, at- titudes toward the handicapped , legislation affecting them , the legislative basis of fed- eral support for public library services, the art of helping, to specific examples of re- sources for use, services offered, design of libraries , and reviews of programs of service currently offered in several regions of New York State. As a professional long dedicated to serv- ing the needs of handicapped individuals and helping others to recognize the impor- tance of library service to the handicapped, Kieth Wright has been an eloquent spokes- man for the rights and requirements of that largely overlooked minority in our society.

     summary: The growth of East Asian collections dur- ing the period from 1920 to 1945, between the two world wars, marked the second stage of development. The growth of East Asian collections indicates a trend toward doubling in size every ten years be- tween 1930 and 1955 and every twelve to fifteen years between 1955 and 1975.

     summary: Fussier and Simon found that, of books that have accumulated equal shelf time, those that have never circulated have somewhat less chance than those that have circulated of being used during a given period in the fu- ture (Patterns in the Use of Books , p .32-33); but the difference is clearly not great enough to justify Trueswell' s procedure. Trueswell has given his research with respect to book collections, which was originally published in a series of articles dur-

     summary: In reading Sargent's article, I found it in- teresting that he bases his claim that the Trueswell procedure is fallacious on a portion of only one early study described in an article in which I summarized the results of six use. Sargent attributes to me (and Gore) the sensational claims that libraries can dis- pose of more than half their collections without noticeably affecting their service.

     summary: The archivist acknowledges that there are problems when you try to create a research center out of an archive; yet he finds that college archives are mines of his- torical treasure that can be exploited with- out interfering with the bread-and-butter functions of records management. Having come this far , it is now easier to see the potential for college archives as a window on American society.

     summary: Such a search is easy to make in index services that provide title word in- dexing, such as the Social Science Citation Index (SSCI). Although it is true, as Allen Kent has ar- gued,3 that scholars are finding it virtually impossible to read all of the pertinent litera- ture to which they should be exposed if they are to keep abreast of developments in their fields, and that therefore they must increasingly rely on highly sophisticated tools and subject search strategies to keep informed, it is also true that habits are hard to change and that many scholars continue to use index services for author searches.

Separate crews were established for folding and taping boxes, cutting freezer paper into sheets (typically about twelve to eighteen inches long), moving supplies to the packing crews, packing, loading packed boxes onto book trucks and moving them to the two passenger elevators, moving the loaded trucks from the elevator on the ground floor and placing the packed boxes on pallets, returning empty book trucks to the loading crews in the basement, and moving the palletized boxes (with the boxes stacked three to four feet high) into freezer trucks.

     summary: Three modes of information transfer are considered in historical order: discipline-based, mission-based, and problem-based. Questionable to many in a democratic so- ciety will be the marketplace philosophy applied to information access, leading, as it will, to the rich getting richer and the poor poorer.

     summary: University libraries were surveyed in 1934 as part of an over- view of Australian libraries by I\alph M unn of the Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh, in as- sociation with Ernest R. Pitt, an Australian librarian. As a group, and indeed library for library, Australian university libraries are beginning to measure up quite well to British univer- sity libraries, though very few would qualify for an Association of Research Libraries list- ing.14 It may be even more appropriate to apply this second calculation to CAE libraries since, though there are blurred edges be- tween the two sectors , the colleges are as- serted to be less concerned with higher education and research than are the univer- sities.

       words: 5467
      flesch: 50
     summary: If the notion is accepted that libraries are unique and pursue divergent goals reflective of their own unique environment, then one must move away from a general conceptual definition of library effectiveness toward a more operational one. Libraries as organizations typically pursue multiple (and often conflicting) ob- jectives; and these objectives tend to differ from library to library according to the na- ture of the community within which the li- brary operates and the nature of the ser- vices it is supposed to offer.

      flesch: 47
     summary: 5 In choosing a source of information on how library director interviews are designed and conducted, the writer eschewed the strategy of requesting from hiring adminis- trators or search committee heads state- ments of official guidelines and procedures. In his interesting analysis of the kinds of activities to which academic library directors devote their time, Metz found a difference based upon size of library; i.e., directors of small libraries devote more time to the day-to-day internal operations in the library, whereas their counterparts at large libraries spend more time in such external, environ- mental activities as fund raising, professional activities, and representing the library to its public.

While this book was written primarily as an intro- duction for beginners in the book industry and from the point of view of an insider, it can also be recommended to librarians as the best starting point for gaining a back- ground knowledge of bookmaking.

     summary: Garfield carefully shows the advantages of the citation index over conventional subject indexes for indexing and for bibliographic searching; these include the lack of need for intellectual analysis in citation indexing, the objectivity of citation indexing, the increase in potential productivity and efficiency in searching, the avoidance of semantic prob- lems and the need for vocabulary standardi- zation in citation indexes, the lack of need-at least at the indexing stage-to worry about the variety of human languages in which papers are published, the precision of the citation index over time, and the abil- ity of the citation index to identify relevant papers across disciplines. These are mighty advantages, leading this reader to become aware of'his underuse of citation indexes for his personal literature searching needs.

However, although the study is limited to nontraditional programs of continuing education, the procedures and methodology used in collecting data for the project provide information relevant to questions and issues that may also arise re- garding recognition for more traditional types of continuing education programs.

     summary: The following comments about conducting library research are based on the assumption that there is some sort of underlying order in the way libraries operate, that there are some phe- nomena that cause or result from other phe- nomena and that, if we look carefully enough , we can detect that order and those relationships. The authors identified and discussed sixteen studies published between 1949 and 1975 that attempted to measure characteristics of library users or nonusers and to give a picture of the average user.

     summary: However, this does not reflect the true psychological na- ture of the profession or sex role as it is de- fined today. The major importance of this study is that it casts some doubt on the other studies that have tried to deal with the concept of sex role of the librarian or library science stu- dent, in that it questions the validity of the instruments used in these other studies in measuring sex role, especially the CPI, and it demonstrates that significantly different results are obtained using a newer instru- ment that has, to a great extent, been freed of the more limiting concepts used to form other sex-role inventories.

These prerequisites are: (1) there should be some progress in the country in developing a communications infrastructure; (2) there should be adequate documentary sources as well as records of national inven- tories of these resources; and (3) there should be professional know-how in any dis- cussion of information sources.

     summary: As a librarian who has been concerned with the fear public library users seem to Letters I 245 have for our catalogs, I welcome Gorman and Hotsinpiller's interest (C&RL, Nov . 1979). Though they express their hope that this study will provide a benchmark for future investigations, without the knowledge of which libraries (or even which types of libraries) responded we can- not know whether the next study on this subject will deal with the same set of librar- ies.

     summary: One variation would be to classify professional librarians on some kind of scale which would allow for promo- tion without administrative responsibility and would reward distinguished service to students and faculty and to learning at large . Since there are mechanisms for modifying the system of ranks and since there are indications that the original objectives of recognizing profes- sional accomplishments within the context of library program and service objectives are being met, it is clear that the system of ranks will remain an integral aspect of Co- lumbia's program for professional librarians .

     summary: However, the en- terprising nature of current British academ- ic librarianship is of comparatively recent origin, and the major historical influence on New Zealand university libraries is un- doubtedly American. McEldowney's recommendations on sta- tistics bore fruit in 1975 with the appear- ance of New Zealand University Library Statistics 1974.5 This publication, compiled in the same format used for Australian uni- versity library statistics, has subsequently appeared annually and provides recent and fairly comprehensive statistical information on New Zealand university libraries.

     summary: Once the marketing concept has been established among the staff of the organiza- tion-and that is not an easy task to accom- plish-the next step is to analyze the cur- rent situation, assess the strengths and shortcomings in the library's current pro- grams and policies, determine the goals that a program of marketing library services should accomplish, and determine the spe- cific methods by which those goals can be achieved. These aren't the only reasons for engag- ing in the marketing of library services but are among the most important and should be sufficient reason for librarians to consider the possibilities offered by the marketing of library services.

     summary: The readings for Issue II, government re- lations, examine past trends toward various levels of government funding for various types of libraries, together with a strong plea for an integrated national library plan. The final Issue VII, changing boundaries of librarianship, ranges from Vannevar Bush's rather technical World War II pre- dictions of the future course of information retrieval to Karl Nyren's mid-1970s iden- tification of libraries as low energy proces- ses to which society will never devote more than a minor fraction of its resources.

Several changes have been made in terms of scope and arrangement, and the revised edition has some overlap with Chamberlin's Guide to Art Reference Books (Chicago: American Library Assn., 1959), the acknowledged bible of art bibliography previous to Ehres- mann' s 1975 effort.

But if it acts as a stimulus for libraries to do their own analy- ses, it will have served a purpose.

     summary: College and Research Libraries DAVID G. E. SPARKS Academic Librarianship: Professional Strivings and Political Realities F acuity status for academic librarians often has been discussed in the litera- ture of librarianship, but little attention has been given to its relationship to three associated topics that bear heavily on academic librarianship: profes- sionalization as an aspect of the sociology of librarianship; the power rela- tionships within the institutions of higher education where academic librar- ians work; and the phenomenon of academic collective bargaining. This pa- per discusses briefly these topics as they relate to faculty status for academic librarians.

     summary: This sur- vey of Ohio academic librarians in 1979 reaffirms the opinion expressed in 1970 by Smith in discussing the problems and pros- pects of faculty status: · With only few ex- ceptions, the benefits of academic status have been superficial; substantive areas- salaries, research support, self-direction on the job, voice in academic policy and prac- tice, peer evaluation-have not really been touched. The survey revealed: (1) very few academic librarians in Ohio have full faculty status as defined in the ACRL Standards; (2) of the nine standards mandated by the ACRL only four are met by more than half of the institutions in Ohio; and (3) the degree to which academic librarians in Ohio have the rights and responsibilities of faculty status varies by cer- tain demographic characteristics of the respondents.

They acknowledge that, in effect, the course of study they advocate allows for the tradi- tional study of basic reference sources but simultaneously provides for the effective use of these titles as well as the newer ones being published at ever-increasing speed.

Given the autonomy of American universities, it does not make much sense to me to even consider imposing a common curriculum on library schools, or allocating specializations among them, or regulating enrollment in strict accordance with employment opportu- nities.

His co-investigator was Stuart Mann, a pro- fessor of operations research at Penn State with an interest in library operations.

     summary: National libraries are increasingly called upon to fulfill major roles of national im- portance, particularly for establishing bib- liographic and other services significant to libraries within a country and across politi- cal boundaries. The goals of Universal Bib- liographic Control and Universal Availability of Publications cannot be reached without the strong support and involvement of national libraries.

     summary: Since these essays, gathered from many sources not always readily available, are a good survey of problems currently faced by national libraries and present a perception of their actual and desirable functions, this volume is a valuable source of information, recommended for all larger libraries and li- brary schools.-Mathilde V. Rovelstad, Catholic University of America, Washing- ton, D.C. Downs, Robert B. Australian and New Zea- land Library Resources. College and Research Libraries 546 I College & Research Libraries • November 1980 Special Functions and Aspects of National Libraries, considers in more detail their wide variety, emphasizes in particular how national library responsibilities in many countries are divided among several librar- ies, how some libraries combine national and other functions, and how in some coun- tries there are subject-specialized national libraries or regional or state subnational libraries.

     summary: A student who depends entirely on either will learn little or nothing about the unique aspects, the importance, or even the exis- tence of information retrieval based on non- subject approaches such as names, titles, Naturally the guide con- centrates on the national, university, and other libraries with holdings important for research; there is little information on the institutes of technology and the colleges of advanced education (presumably an area for expanded coverage in a second edition).

     summary: He is also very candid, reminding readers repeat- edly that the development and evaluation of information retrieval systems depend on measurements of relevance, a parameter which , in practice , can only be estimated frorri samplings and which is specific to the particular query used in the sampling. For example, there are two widely sepa- rated chapters that discuss the needs of us- ers of information retrieval systems.

     summary: #1-80: Performance Appraisal is simply a selection of policy and procedure statements on performance appraisal from various academic libraries in the Midwest. Perhaps stranger still is the inclusion of the evaluation tool used by the Virginia Beach Public Library, which obviously was not part of the survey population of academic libraries in the Midwest.

     summary: Nonetheless, if library staffs are to provide adequate services, including the wider adoption of on-line bibliographic searches and bibliographic instruction, these staffing ratios suggest the need for more profession- als. The ratio of professional library staff to students is more favorable in private than in public-controlled schools (table 23).

     summary: From recent ads it appears that the PND will be supplemented in usual Gale fashion by New Pseudonyms and Nicknames, thus increasing its usefulness especially for cur- rent figures. The Pseudonyms and Nicknames Dictio- nary (PND) will not replace any works a li- brary already has on pseudonyms and nick- names but it will supplement them.

This new edition builds on 78 I C allege & Research Libraries • January 1981 the previous one, leaving the original chap- ters relatively unchanged , with the addition of further chapters on acquisition and main- tenance (selection and deselection and re- prography) as well as serials cataloging and serials processing at the Library of Con- gress.

     summary: It is not a manual on how to perform various tech- niques, but rather an introduction to the general requirements for care of all types of library materials. Beginning with an overview and historical perspective on library materials and their care, Swartzburg then details the require- ments for care of books, emphasizing en- vironmental factors as well as proper han- dling.

     summary: Among the impressions that will be left with a careful reader of this essay is that the problem is, in fact, an apparently infinite complex of many discrete problems-of physical chemistry, of lighting design, of environmental pollution and con- trol, of engineering, and so forth. Given our success as a profession in shaping the technology of comput- ing (hardware and software) to resolve problems of bibliographic control, one wonders if we can assemble a different but equally diverse array of resources and skills to address conservation, for it will surely require as sustained an effort to preserve the twentieth century's bibliography for the twenty-first.

     summary: Although pollution does play a role (and in some areas , such as New York City, a critical one), Barrow identified manufacturing processes as the principal cause of paper decay ; in a later investigation of book papers manufactured from 1800 to 1899, he was able to trace historically the loss of strength in papers in a time line that matched the introduction by paper mills of alum sizing and the use of cheaper and shorter fibers. He continued to study what had happened to book papers from the fifteenth through the nineteenth centuries, and he began to look at the effects storage tempera- tures have on the permanence of paper.

     summary: Finally, some, but not all, of the for- mulas reflect the diminishing demands of larger enrollments or other parameters on library resource levels, establishing sliding scales for the relationships between input parameters and staff levels. The result, then, is that there are four yardsticks that affect staff levels.

     summary: This article reiterates the need for a litera- ture-size approach to book fund allocations and presents a case for using reviews from Choice magazine as a useful and hitherto ignored · means of determining literature size.

     summary: The results in table 2 demonstrate this variation by showing a much higher level of educational require- ments for university director positions as opposed to college director positions. The results for nondirector listings in colleges and universi- ties and for university director positions re- flect this overall decline since 1976.

     summary: This collection of papers, presented at the Twenty-Third Midwest Academic Librar- ians' Conference (Ball State University, May 1978), attempts to analyze the symbiotic re- lationship between the faculty development and library instruction movements. Whereas the ACRL publication, a spiral- bound committee effort of the Bibliographic Instruction Section, consists of a series of useful checklists, charts, model statements, and assorted papers on setting up a BI program, the Renford-Hendrickson volume provides a much more complete picture of library use instruction.

     summary: The data show that library A has higher scores than library B for all the measures except job specificity. In the library study it shows a strong positive relationship for libraries B and C but not for libraries A and B. One plausible explanation for the association be- tween professional training and the rate of innovation is that because all the library sub- jects were professionals, there would be higher mean scores.

     summary: These published proceedings have been augmented by an appendix that contains two more pa- pers derived from a 1978 Library Association meeting, outlining the major ways in which AACR2 differs from AACR. As for AACR2, the opening paper (by Norman Roberts at the University of Sheffield) is quite positive and optimistic, praising the new code for its clear principles and international outlook and downplaying its economic side effects.

     summary: But first we need to outline a conceptual model for library data to support administrative decision making. The reason for this lies in the absence of a broad conceptual model of library data that can be used in the development of a detailed statisti- cal data system applicable to a wide range of operational planning, reporting, and re- search purposes.

     summary: In this survey, those at universities with the top twenty-five graduate programs were more likely to consult with colleagues at their own institutions on their research than other historians, but were no more ready to discuss or correspond with acquaint- ances elsewhere. This problem is shared by all to a greater or lesser extent, including American historians.

His study likewise shows that the number of students who entered schools of library science with Ph.D.s in hand ap- proximately doubled between 1972 and 1974, and that there is a preference in the current job market for librarians with subject expertise at the Ph.D. level.

     summary: Among the fifteen essays, three might be regarded as history but the majority can only be regarded as perceptive observations of the growth of academic libraries in the United States and Great Britain from the twenties to the present, with great emphasis upon the emer- gence of the academic library as a large com- plex organization of relatively recent origin. Indeed Alan Jeffreys asserts that British university libraries are almost totally reliant on American schemes of classification and show almost no signs of being directly Recent Publications I 585 influenced by any other school of thought.(p.154).

     summary: Since so many schools have introduced or reintro- duced the internship into their programs and increasing numbers of educators and librar- ians are involved, the material presented should be of interest to a larger audience than library school faculty. Nonetheless, as the editor notes, the best evi- dence that university libraries will maintain the advances made in the last few decades may well be the record of their achieve- ments in the face of past adversity.

     summary: There is also general agreement, both by middle managers and top adminis- trators, that library schools are doing a poor job in teaching management and administra- tion. In summarizing the information on middle managers in academic libraries, Bailey re- ports that there is little consensus on the var- ious levels of middle management.

     summary: As library budgets decline in real dollars and as· both faculty interests and the range of potentially useful material continue to broaden, the art of collection development has come into its own. The essays group into five categories: (1) collection management, which includes or- ganization, personnel, budgetary allocation, and other matters; (2) the selection processes themselves, including blanket orders, Latin American and European acquisitions, out- of-print buying, and preservation; (3) the use of quantitative methods such as citation and circulation analysis to guide development; (4) special problems arising from format (mi- croforms, media) or sources (government documents); and (5) new directions, which includes such diverse subjects as education for collection development (Charles B. Os- burn) and creativity, collection manage- ment, and development.

     summary: The use of an abbreviated entry and the subsequent transposition to a complete cataloging entry was employed by all groups of serial catalog users. The problems of frequent name changes, form of catalog entry versus the patron's bib- liographic citation, and the use of cross- references were explored to judge their rele- vance to serial bibliographic retrievability, as was the impact of user instruction.

     summary: It includes a listing of measures of association (Pearson correlation coefficients) for the four major factors investigated above- two mea- sures of exposure to library instruction, a measure of intellectual capacity, and a mea- sure of academic diligence. Similarly, it is · possible that the 1977 and 1980 senior classes differ with respect to intellectual capacity and/or academic diligence, hence any differ- ence in library skills scores in the aggregate are the result of such background differences rather than selective exposure to library-use instruction.

Lee Jones's discussion of the Battelle re- port. The first deals with the ef- fects of linking on libraries and their users, and examines issues such as whether there is sufficient reason to link bibliographic utilities and, if so, the possible benefits in three areas of service: shared cataloging, interlibrary loan, and reference searching.

Given the particularly good coverage of contemporary authors, however, the absence of entries for Kenneth Koch, Charles Bukowski, Robert Coover, and Stephen King is surprising.

     summary: In order to face this future effectively, research universities must seek to retain a necessary level of federal support, to secure new partners and • alliances to augment this support, and to ensure that primary agenda-setting responsibility for their teaching and research programs continues to reside with their faculties, administrators, and trustees. The main facts of contempo- rary American life from the perspective of research universities are the corrosive effects of a widespread indifference- even hostili- ty- to the well-being of important social in- stitutions; the equally corrosive effects of rapid and sustained inflation; the active role of government in regulating economic and social activity; and the growing importance of and ambivalence to science and technol- ogy.

     summary: It divides the ranks of reference librarians at a time when unity of purpose on behalf of user needs has never been more important. Using theory developed by sociologists Rue Bucher and Anselm Strauss, it is argued that reference service is a core task for li- brarianship s professionalization movement.

        date: 1982
       words: 4429
      flesch: 45
     summary: It argues that BI in academic libraries and the reference desk in public libraries were both initiated to foster independent learning by unsophisticated users; that BI, introduced by scholar-librarians in the 1870s, could not be sustained by the semiclerical graduates of early library schools and was consequently displaced by the reference desk, and that improved training and status for li- brarians contributed to the BI renaissance of the 1960s. 11 Public libraries had a concern for the needs of unsophisticated users similar to the academic librarians' concern for stu- dents, and the idea of having a librarian at a visible desk to give ad hoc responses to indi- vidual users' questions was gradually adopted into academic libraries.

      flesch: 58
     summary: SuMMARY Since photocopying customarily associ- ated with library reserve room operations was not directly treated in the copyright leg- islation (Public Law 94-553) that became ef- fective on January 1, 1978, there has been considerable doubt, differences in interpre- tation, and lack of consensus among aca- demic library administrators as to the intent of the law in this area. In early 1978, just after Public Law 94-553 became effective, Meredith Butler surveyed twenty-seven academic libraries in New York State by telephone to sample current attitudes, practices, procedures and prob- lems relating to library reserve operations and the new copyright law.

     summary: It was in 1825 that Yan- kee merchant Daniel Appleton opened his dry goods store in New York City with more than half of its floor space set aside for the re- tail marketing of books. The saga is told of the many members of the family who guided the firm through the period of its greatest ascendency (between 1850 and 1900), and the circumstances that led to its latter-day transmogrification as a conglom- erate subsidiary issuing books solely in the fields of health and nursing are related.

But, although Martin ac- knowledges that the last few years have been remarkable for nothing so much as for failure to unite the libraries of the country in the face of these changes, he holds out hope that academic libraries will meet the chal- lenges of the technological revolution and emerge with much different organizational structures in the years ahead.

     summary: One wonders whether, governed by the market, library services and collections may then come to reflect the plastic shopping mall quality we find in those segments of our lives already controlled by market mech- anisms. Four of the papers were prepared for a workshop on user fees sponsored by the Indi- ana chapter of the Special Libraries Associa- tion.

     summary: One wonders whether, governed by the market, library services and collections may then come to reflect the plastic shopping mall quality we find in those segments of our lives already controlled by market mech- anisms. James Dodd's piece on information brokers highlights the paradoxical nature of the rela- tionship 'between information brokers and public libraries.

      flesch: 57
     summary: The proportion of black students in medi- cal colleges in the United States more than doubled between 1969 and 1979, certainly an admirable achievement by all concerned, but black medical students still represent only about 6 percent of all medical students. The eight professions are examined for current racial composition, the peculiar problems that entry into each presents for minority-group members, and whatever reasons might account for the ups and downs of black enrollments during the decade.

     summary: The authors and I agree that statistical techniques often have an important role to play in evaluation, including the evaluation of bibliographic instruction . Thus even if one agrees with the authors that the three years between 1977 and 1980 con- stitute a reasonable definition of long-term retention, apparently only a minority of the 230 analyzed responses were individuals who had instruction only as freshmen, and there- fore are the only respondents who can be le- gitimately analyzed for long-term retention.

     summary: Following this pilot project, the workbook was expanded, and additional question- naires were distributed in May and October of 1979 and May of 1980 in order to measure any change in student responses over time. Although it is heartening to see both the positive nature and generally upward direc- tion of the responses to the program, it is still somewhat disturbing to note that, during the last term studied in May 1980 (that in which student responses were the most favorable), nearly one-third of the students were at least skeptical or undecided , if not negative, about the overall usefulness of the workbook assignment.

     summary: Not only do English teachers re- quire more research papers than most teach- ers in other departments, but the responsibil- ity for research paper instruction, per se, has most often devolved upon the English de- partment. The results of a recently completed national sur- vey on research paper instruction in the un- dergraduate writing curriculum, conducted by this author and Dennis R. Perry in the winter of 1981 , suggest that library use in- struction efforts should be primarily com- mitted to the English department writing program in most institutions.

Gagne emphasizes the influence of learning, rather than growth, on human be- havioral development, 2 and his model of learning is cumulative.

He does not address the fact that special libraries, which are character- ized by in-depth collections in a narrow sub- ject field or format, can often find little to weed, and that what is weeded must most of- ten be discarded, rather than stored.

     summary: The ACRL Standards for Faculty Status for College and University Librarians tend to define fac- ulty status in the responding libraries, but librarians have acquired more of the responsibilities of faculty status than the traditional rewards. Since then, these standards have become the most widely accepted criteria for defining faculty status for li- brarians.

An expedient publication device, an ac- tive publicity mechanism providing a sys- tematic announcement of library services, is the acquisitions list/newsletter publica- tion.18 It has been used effectively in tech- nical libraries for at least three decades.

     summary: 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. The planning of library stack areas for books is a topic that has been studied with increasingly serious attention, but never before has there been published a techni- cal report devoted to the planning of new or expanded music library stacks.

     summary: If a library is forced to break up its collection and if it can afford to do so, then storage of collec- tions according to circulation clusters such as those found in this study would make sense and is worth considering. One could hypothesize, prior to their discovery, about the existence of clusters, such as a physical science cluster, but such hypotheses would be trivial in the sense that such clusters could either be found or not.

     summary: Understanding the latter was particularly important, since Baker & Taylor's subject categories were at once different from and more numerous than local budget lines. Finally, a number of discipline-oriented citation studies, which included data on the frequency of refer- ence to foreign language monographs, were consulted to countercheck the me- dian figures derived from internal acquisi- tions statistics.5 Emerging from this pro- cess were 0 percent, 2 percent, 7 percent, and 22 percent as the portions of the Do- mestic Base that would be added as the For- eign Trade Monograph Factor at each year along line B for budget lines at the four dif- ferent levels of dependency.

     summary: Although Caldwell and Livingston 4 state that 'citation indexes provide a way to determine how highly valued and widely read the research pro- duced by your faculty is,' we caution that the process is not as simple as running an online search, as these authors imply. The searcher should inform the patron that a library staff member, knowledge- able in the use of citation indexes, is avail- able to discuss the search results and inter- pret the results and other techniques which should be considered in order to obtain as complete information as possible on citations to the work of the individual being evaluated.

If a larger block of computer time is necessary, library faculty can present grant proposals to the Research and Publications Commit- tee, the campus-wide Research Board, and to agencies and foundations outside the institution.

     summary: Laying aside those traditional objec- tions, there is an even more pressing con- cern: why should articles on consulting by Ellsworth Mason (the other Ellsworth), centralized cataloging by Joe Howard and Judith Schmidt, and interlibrary coopera- tion by Joe Hewitt be published in a book rather than in a professional journal where they would get much wider distri- bution and :r:eading? This collec- tion is nowhere identified as a Festschrift for Ralph Ellsworth, but it is dedicated to him and contains a bibliography of works by and about him, as well as a list of the places he has served as a consultant and a narrative bio-bibliography that is more bio- than biblio- and in any case, brief.

It argues that analysis of problem areas within a given unit in the library can better pro- mote positive strategies for dealing with tech- nology related concerns of library personnel.

     summary: Largely because their development and application as functional management tools have been profoundly affected by legislative and judicial decisions, performance appraisal systems have recently become a primary focus of attention in human resource management. Because P A systems are often used as a primary basis for decision making in the personnel area and serve to link the em- ployee behavior to organizational re- wards, it is important that they provide an accurate reflection of job performance.

     summary: Browsing activity, or unrecorded use as it is sometimes called, has been of concern to librarians since the advent of the open shelf policy, but arriving at estimates of this activity has been most difficult. Taken alone, countingrefiles is not an adequate indication of browsing activity.

     summary: THE UTILIZATION OF ACADEMIC LIBRARY BUILDINGS This article describes the levels of utili- zation of library buildings, as observed, monitored, and measured during the course of consulting studies. The discussion will be limited to bound volumes, which occupy approximately 75 percent of the collection space in univer- sity libraries and a somewhat greater pro- portion in college libraries.

     summary: At the same time, classroom teach- ing and publishing-the traditional prov- inces of faculty-are not widely de- manded of librarians with or without faculty status. Many surveys have been conducted demon- strating that librarians with faculty status do not share all of the responsibilities or benefits of regular faculty, particularly in the areas of publishing and length of con- tract year .1

However, with volume 12, there oc- curred a drop of from one-fourth to one- third in the amount of review material in- cluded in a volume (fewer reviews, less text, less literature covered); the current volume is very similar in these respects to volume 12, except for the inclusion of the new cumulative index.

In their place several useful topics have been added: a treatment of decision trees and tables; a more complete consideration of time study; and an interesting explanation of how break-even analysis can be used to compare costs of different library proce- dures.

     summary: To us of a not-so-tender age (I was born one month before the U.S. entered the war in 1917, and I served under Mr. Wheeler at EPFL before World War II), this record will be fascinating for its reve- lation of half a lifetime (ALA's and mine) of concern with librarianship. An- other volume may be needed to answer these two questions; the author provides his answers: new horizons of profes- sionalism and service were the enduring legacies of the American Library Associa- tion's participation in World War I (p.99).'

     summary: Results of shifting pat- terns of public library support in California and West Virginia are examined and three options for future funding of public libraries are pre- sented: continuation of the status quo, achieve- ment of a balanced intergovernmental funding system, or increased use of fees for service. Li- brary activities are highlighted in the following areas: (1) promoting awareness of the needs of the disabled; (2) providing access to buildings and programs for the disabled; (3) cooperating with a variety of agencies to produce work- shops, conferences, and seminars for and about the disabled; (4) training present and incoming personnel in working with the disabled; (5) in- creasing employment of disabled persons in li- braries; (6) acquiring more library resources for the disabled; and (7) expanding library services for the disabled.

McAnally wrote his lucid defense of faculty status for academic librarians, years in which the profession has seen the creation of a set of standards for faculty status, guidelines for their implementation and their wide-spread acceptance by college and university administrators.

     summary: The detailed information obtained from the testing reports, allowed us to identify troublesome questions, assist students in remediation sessions by checking the items they missed and the subtests they were weak in, maintain accurate records of the students' course completion status, post student scores listed by social secu- rity number, and generally monitor stu- dents' performance. The purpose of this analysis was to examine the possibility that non- course-related experience in the academic milieu could account for the increase in student scores.

     summary: The hypothesis used by the author is: Librarians handle their identity, as be- stowed on them by the stereotype, in the manner of a minority group; their re- sponse is similar to that made by members of minority groups in response to minority status. The methodology used was adapted from a study of minority groups and con- sisted of a quantitative content analysis of journal articles, chapters in books, and news reports written about the stereotype of librarians by members of the library profession during the period 1921-April 1978.

Williamson's report has had considerable impact on the develop- ment of library education, though the de- velopment has not been rapid and is, in fact, still occurring.

That 50.6 percent found the computer catalog easier for journal searches, while only 7.1 per- cent preferred the card .catalog, may be due to an aversion to searching through the large number of cards frequently en- countered in card catalogs for the works of corporate authors or for periodicals with common titles.

        date: 1984
       words: 1215
      flesch: 59
     summary: Busha's introduction paints a broad pic- ture of intellectual freedom issues (most of it said before) and successfully encapsu- lates the essence of the articles that follow. With intellectual freedom and access to information ranking as two of ALA's top priorities for the 1980s, a careful re- view of Defending Intellectual Freedom and Censorship in the Eighties seems most appropriate.

Because of the pressure of eco- nomics and the availability of other data, this survey covers only two types of li- braries: public libraries serving popula- tions of at least 25,000 and academic li- braries which are not part of the Association of Research Libraries (ARL).

     summary: Undergraduate and graduate students, who are unable to operate with the broad knowledge and solid bibliographic base of research scholars, can find library skills valuable in initiating their first timid ef- forts at II research. This study examines the source of misunderstandings between librarians and teaching faculty over the concepts of library use and of research, concluding that library skills and research skills, being predicated on divergent philosophies of information seeking, are essentially differ- ent things that can be, and usually are, learned in isolation from each other.

     summary: The creation of rare book collections in univer- sity libraries did not demand the same kind of compromise with basic purpose required in public libraries. It is important to recognize this rev- olutionary development that separated the book from the text it contained if we are to understand what is happening to rare books and those who are devoting their careers to them.

     summary: The book is an am- plification of Ku11off' s 1972 Indiana dissertation on the impact of the Enlight- enment on German university libraries. Indeed, every librarian will find much of interest in these pages; any academic li- brarian who feels overwhelmed, under- staffed, and undervalued should read the account of staffing and hours during the early days at Leipzig University Library, or the noxious results of juxtaposing the university library and the medical school operating theater at the University of Halle.

Many editions published in the fifties, sixties, and seventies by major firms such as Knopf, Pantheon, Harper, Viking, and Little, Brown, and which have appeared in Books in Print, are not to be found in Fiction.

     summary: Proposed initially by architect and stack manufacturer Angus Snead Macdonald in the mid-1930s, the full application of the modular concept of library building plan- ning was delayed for more than a decade, in part by the usual forces of conserva- tism, but also by the depression and by World War Ir_l With the encouragement, however, of its first principal proponent, Ralph Ellsworth, director of libraries of the ·University of Iowa, modular planning was used increasingly in the years immedi- ately after the war, first at Hardin- Simmons College (1947) and then at Princeton (1948), North Dakota State (1950), and Iowa (1951) universities. Now library buildings were expected to serve two functions, one bibliothecal and the other symbolic.

     summary: The methodological framework for anal- ysis in this study developed in the first section (p.3-53) is not well complemented by the second section (p.57-198) in which uneven area studies are put forth as a means for developing world study in li- brarianship. The work itself is set into the context of no fewer than four key evolutionary terms introduced by the editors: metalibrarian- ship, world study in librarianship, global librarianship, and extraterrestrial librar- ianship.

     summary: From the recruitment and training of special collec- tions personnel, their career patterns, and demographic characteristics, to the planning and mounting of exhibitions, creation of exhibition catalogs, and reports on procedures that advance or retard the physical care of exhibited materials, to basic questions about the provision of reference and supervisory assistance in special collections reading rooms, pat- terns in the use of special collections materials, the architecture, security, and physical en- vironment of special collections facilities, the management of professional and nonprofes- sional special collections staff, and the articulation of collection development policies-without forgetting matters related to donor relations and money-anything that concerns the librarianship of special collections librarianship will be welcomed. Special collections librarians form a relatively large subgroup of ACRL, and their section has an a dive history .

Joyce, who is assis- tant director for Rare Books and Manu- scripts at the New York Public Library; and Richard C. Berner, who was head of the University Archives & Manuscripts Division in the University of Washington Libraries, Seattle, a post from which he is now retired.

       words: 3107
      flesch: 44
     summary: However, while the unique needs of users of special collections are better served, the special collections repository, as a result of its independence, has been isolated from the mainstream of library development. These efforts all represent a form of integration, because once a record of a manuscript or special collections' holding is entered into the common data base, it is integrated with all other records already there.

      flesch: 41
     summary: Moreover, the proliferation of types of materials found in special collections, the growing awareness of the concept of intrinsic value, and the importance of involving special collections staff in cooper- ative collection development programs point to the importance of identifying integrated man- agement structures for special collections departments. Another factor that can lead to integra- tion of special collections units is that there has been a proliferation of materials in special collections beyond those of rare books, pamphlets, newspapers, and man- uscripts.

     summary: 0 Wayne Wiegand, an embattled advo- cate of popular culture collections, places the blame on the resistant attitudes in li- brary schools and libraries: Academic library collection development has an inertia of its own which is aided and abetted by the academic librarian's preconceived pre~­ lections, conservative training and book on- ented practical experience. In contrast to the conclusions in Currents of Wann Life that popular culture's struggle for life is over, Stevenson and other advocates of popular culture collections in academic li- braries realize that they are still on the de- fensive.13

      flesch: 54
     summary: Since attitudes are pivotal to the development of competent research- ers, it was decided that the following ob- jectives should be stressed in presenting the library to students: an understanding of the intrinsic role of library research in undergraduate education; a sense of ben- efit to result from effective library use; the development of an attitude of library com- petence in the student; an appreciation of the reference librarian's professional role · and the complexity of academic libraries; an understanding of library search as chal- lenging rather than frustrating; and a re- definition of library success as compe- tence in search processes rather than as number of items retrieved. In order to blend the writing process with an appropriate introduction to the library, the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga developed a generic model of library research.

     summary: Faculty sponsorship and return dates seem likely to increase return rates for M.B.A.'s. However, the subject has been reported in the literature of other disciplines, where it is co.ncluded that university sponsorship specifically, and relatively more presti- gious sponsorship in general, has been shown to be useful in many situations to stimulate questionnaire responses.

      flesch: 49
     summary: The informa- tion in Computerized Literature Searching falls so short of what the end user wishing to conduct his/her own searches would need, that one suspects Gilreath of follow- ing up on a suggestion Wilson makes in the discussion of her survey results: that search intermediaries 'adopt a 'closed shop' or 'guild mentality' and try to pre- vent end users from receiving searching skills. While, as search intermediaries well know, an educated consumer can be a great addition to an online search pro- cess, in the face of the detail the computer retrieval chapter provides, it is fair to ask why end user oriented systems like Knowledge Index or BRS After Dark, 11 are not even mentioned.

In my opinion, this book does nothing to bring about an effective and compre- hensive system of bibliographic control for government publications, but it is ef- fective in setting out the dimensions of the problem and in describing the approaches some librarians have taken to cope with them.

     summary: And I am shocked to think that there can be professional librarians who measure costs in relative terms of dollars per page against the substantive content of any worthy publication. Thus it was important for us to find out about the subgroup of academic librarians who had al- ready received tenure at large university libraries.

     summary: I have come to the conclusion that, as professionals, we have abdicated a basic responsibility to establish the systematic conditions upon which to evaluate our own performance as reference librarians. I have not seen any articles in the literature that demonstrate why reference librarians and libraries have avoided the detailed evaluation of this function or why they have not developed self-managed but systematic efforts at self-improvement.

     summary: In conjunction with the educational process, library services provide important col- lective benefits that result in increased national income, wealth, and social welfare. It can be and has been argued that user fees amount to double charges, because the public pays for library service through taxes and students pay through tuition.

     summary: The JCR are invaluable tools for evaluating library journal collections, and ranked lists of titles derived from them can be distributed to the faculty to determine whether any gaps in the holdings should be filled . Indeed, if such stability does not exist, then there is no basis for the rational management of library journal collections.

     summary: Most librarians believe that journal use is an extremely important factor in the re- tention decision but realize that use stud- ies are difficult to design and fairly expen- sive to conduct. In a study of chemical journals, Rice also found a high correlation between library use and JCR rank.

      flesch: 65
     summary: If it is worth pursuing the use of JCR at all, we do not need more studies of gen- eral correlations between JCR rank lists and library uses, but studies of correlations at the fringes of use. It would be inter- esting to study the stability of rank lists of periodicals in order of use in a few aca- demic or special libraries; my guess is that stability would be little if any better than at the British Library Lending Division, since the clientele changes, and subject inter- ests and emphases of existing users change (my personal rank list of periodi- cals in order of use changes from year to year).

In short, my paper recommends identi- fying a list of little-cited journals as candi- dates for possible de selection by use of the Journal Citation Reports (JCR) because this .

It should be of special interest to any librar- ian or system designer considering the place of classification in the future of li- braries and library catalogs, both as secu- rity considerations inspire flirtation with closed stacks, and as computer capabili- ties allow reconsideration of the possibili- ties for providing library users with en- hanced access to information via subject.-Janet Swan Hill, Northwestern University, Evanston, Illinois.

Those on a budget may be better advised to invest their money in another book written by the editor and one contributor (McClure), Public Access to Government Information: Is- sues, Trends, and Strategies, which is avail- able in paper for considerably less and which covers essentially the same ground and more.

     summary: The resultant 'Direc- tory of Reprint Publishers4 filled a defi- nite need, for in the absence of any associ- ation of reprint publishers, nothing of the sort had been compiled up to that time. In her 1969 questionnaire, Nemeyer asked reprint publishers to indicate the primary basis on which they selected titles for publication: (a) personal knowledge of subject fields, (b) awareness of unmet de- mands for copies on the used book mar- ket, (c) appearance of titles on recom- mended book lists, (d) advice from paid consultants, (e) advice from faculty, librar- ians, scholars, and (f) other.

     summary: Historically, academic librarians have accepted not only that teaching fac- ulty would play an important role in li- brary acquisitions but also that they would be chiefly responsible for library book pur- chases and collection building. Perhaps this is why college libraries, without an infusion of subject specialists, have continued to par- cel out book funds to academic depart- ments despite the shift in the philosophy and practice of their larger sister institu- tions.

       title: Selecting Rare Books for Physical Conservation: Guidelines for Decision Making

      flesch: 61
     summary: Although any consideration of book conservation by librarians generally focuses on the technical aspects of diagno- sis and treatment, another level of deci- sion making is usually required: in a time when severely curtailed budgets are the norm, librarians, curators, and conserva- tors are forced to select for treatment only a few of the many potential candidates in a collection. This article discusses the rationale for, and possible uses of, guidelines designed to facilitate conservation decisions by systematically evaluating and weighing such factors as monetary, intellectual, and aesthetic value, projected use, and usability. eciding which books in a library collection should receive con- servation treatment is rarely simple.

     summary: We can ask another question relating to financing academic library services: is it possible to expand (or contract) library or library-like services incrementally, in ac- cordance with market demand? Its purpose is to explore the implications of the changes to be expected within the foreseeable future (1985-95) in the environment, mission, functions, and operations of academic libraries (from junior colleges to large research universi- ties) on librarians and librarianship.

The most frequent evaluation model used at institutions with faculty status for librarians required that the librarians meet two distinct sets of criteria: one set designed to measure performance as li- brarians; the other set designed to me~­ sure performance as faculty.

     summary: Light and Pillemer convincingly argue that well-done re- views not only can prevent such duplica- tion but, even more important, can help to shape improved research studies that gen- uinely advance knowledge . The most common approach is simply to summarize, serially, studies that seem to have some relationship to the new study being undertaken.

     summary: Acquisi- tions work has become more complex since Ford's book appeared, and Hickey and Magrillleave no stone unturned in de- scribing and reviewing the ways in which this aspect of library work can be man- aged. The essays are split into three groups, the first seven surveying the sale of books and manuscripts during that year to private collectors and institutions in the United States, Canada, and Great Britain.

     summary: The book's premise is that without an effective acquisitions management and collection development program, the ex- pectations of library users can never be met (p.ix). I would ar- gue, as I suspect would Magrill and Hickey, quite the opposite: it is precisely because of this difficult process of institu- tional soul-searching and analysis that li- brarians have been forced to work still harder to establish meaningful priorities and to devise careful collection policies.

     summary: Likewise, there have been no good studies demonstrating that three or four hours of library instruction spread over four years of undergraduate education really suffice to impart library skills; that the average college graduate could pass a library skills test six months after graduating from college; that the average college graduate, no matter how heavily exposed to library skills in schoot will ever be more than an occasional or sporadic user of the library in later life; or that librarians, who I suppose do possess such skills, are any better educated, better informed, or more knowledgeable than millions of other middle-class people successfully plying their trades as diplomats, politicians, businessmen, accountants, college professors, nurses, engineers, or architects. She implies that the library's mission is to teach library skills because all educated people need such skills in our 'information society.

Veaner Based upon the vision of greatly reduced mechanical and production concerns for academic librarians within the next decade, the author (1) describes required skills, knowledgeJ atti- tudes, and abilities in areas of intellect and human relations, (2) suggests revised educational requirements for academic librarians, and (3) concludes with a plea that academic librarians focus upon increased development of their mental, intellectual, and administrative talents. The concluding part will sug- gest specific skills, abilities, attitudes, and knowledge that academic librarians will require for the remaining years of this cen- tury.

     summary: When most of us are con- fronted by the task of studying and memo- rizing an entirely new piece of information-for instance an historical event, or a scientific formula, or the ele- ments of a literary plot-we apparently ei- ther search in prior memory for something similar with which to associate the new in- formation, or we concoct some kind of memory strategy, verbal or visual, clever or mundane, by which that unfamiliar new material can not only be initially proc- essed, but be permanently retained and readily recalled .23 Mature learners re- alize how to improve memory by linking new information to old information al- ready stored in long-term memory . Could there, in fact, be certain right types of memory strategies that would be particularly effective for us when matched to particular media-one group of strate- gies, perhaps, for verbal media and an- other type for pictorial media?

     summary: Attempting to correlate college stu- dents' perceptions of teachers with sex of student, sex of teacher, and type of humor employed, Tamborini and Zillman 16 estab- lished four categories of teaching style: no use of humor, use of sexual humor, use of other-disparaging humor, and use of self- disparaging humor. Moreover, in unexplained results, 83 percent of female humor was judged to be spontaneous by students as opposed to only 62 percent of the male hu- mor.

First, since library school faculty are included in the study, the results may provide some mea- sure of the excellence of library school pro- grams and, thus (as is claimed for studies in other disciplines), may supply some guidance to both prospective students and faculty job seekers in library science.

Although some libraries were un- able to participate fully in providing com- plete lists of titles or volumes held, this list indicates locations for many titles not pre- viously reported to Union List of Serials or New Serial Titles.

Sullivan makes special men- tion of the fact that two stereotypes still ex- ist and continue to delay the incorporation of school libraries into networks: the no- July 1985 tions that all 'school library collections are alike so they won't have much to offer, and school libraries are self-sufficient be- cause of the limited demands made upon them.

     summary: Tanner's descriptions of the various edi- tions of Water's writings are as scrupulous and meticulous as any connoisseur of de- scriptive bibliography could wish them to be and cover his subject thoroughly from two pieces of juvenilia that appeared in a Colorado grade school literary magazine through all the author's books, pam- phlets, periodical contributions (including the numerous pieces written for the award-winning Southwestern weekly newspaper El Crepusculo, which Waters edited for two years), to Waters' contribu- tions to books and articles written by oth- ers, and even book jacket blurbs for his own and others' books. They range widely from Phyllis Parkins' history of the professional climate in the 1950s to Dale Baker's contrast of information systems in the USSR and the USA, to Frederick Kil- gour's comparison of cooperation in li- brary book cataloging and the abstracting and indexing industry, to Donald King's diagnosis of the crisis in the information community.

     summary: There must be-in studies like this and in tenure and promotion decisions-a better distinction made between truly general journals (e.g., Library Quarterly, Library Trends, Library Journal), which deans and directors can judge as well as anyone else, and those journals specialized by librarian function (e.g., RQ, Reference Seroices Review, and Reference Librarian) or subject area (e.g., Notes, BMLA, Sci- ence and Technology Libraries) best judged by instructors and practitioners in those special- ties. However, its treatment of specialty journals (e.g., excluding Notes and BMLA but including Law Library Journal and School Library Media Quarterly) is confusing.

     summary: Much progress can be documented, and librari- ans in most Western countries can point with justifiable pride to significant pro- grams intended to facilitate national pro- grams of sharing library resources. Higher costs and the physical deterioration of library research collections are likely to influence not only national but also international resource-sharing agreements.

     summary: Overall, academic library PR programs were considered very important. Citing the combined need to provide better user information, to build a positive image, and to project that image to users and potential support groups, Carroll urges academic libraries to join the communications era of the 1980s.8 To fill the information gap surrounding library PR programs, a survey was con- ducted to characterize and determine the scope of the current state of academic li- brary PR.

     summary: By 1984 it had become conventional wisdom among academic librarians, as pointed out by Sharon Rogers in the wrap-up session, that conference papers presented at Bos- ton and Minneapolis had not been cited. Without a doubt much of the academic library pro- fession was caught up with the excitement of a national conference just for academic librarians where scholarly papers were to be read and discussed.

     summary: Likewise a reader must be aware that indented material introduced by the phrase LC rule interpretation says is not always an exact quote. In this four-page section, which appears to the casual reader as an exact reproduction of LC rule interpretation, closer examina- tion reveals that two CSB paragraphs have been omitted and that, while most of the interpretation is taken from CSB18, some wording is retained from CSB15. Further- more, there are eight instances of minor insertions or rewordings of LC text, sev- eral typos, and words that are left out.

I assume that the reason most of us are academic librarians as op- posed to being public, school, or special li- brarians is that (1) we enjoy the academic life, (2) we want to be a part of the learning process, (3) we have some modest or ac- tive interest in research, and (4) we value the place of the library in learning and scholarship.

     summary: While book references constitute the most important source of scholarship and most refer- ences were more than ten years old but published since the Second World War, as with the journal literature, manuscript references play a much greater role, sometimes exceeding that of journal references. This study's findings tally closely with Stern's in the same discipline, while certain other disciplines within the hu- manities such as fine arts and musicology, while equally strong on book citations, contain twice as many references to the journal literature, documenting consider- able variation in the use of the journal lit- erature in the humanities.

      flesch: 52
     summary: Library faculty are voting members of the three standing committees of the Fac- ulty Senate that are concerned with curric- ulum changes, the Curricula Committee, the Senate Graduate Committee, and the Undergraduate Committee. The fact that university and state policies mandate an examination of the budgetary implications of a new course le- gitimized the impact statements prepared by library faculty.

     summary: Inter- spersed with these traditional core areas of librarianship are knowledge bases relat- ing to management: communication skills, decision making, planning, person- nel management, and staff development. In order to determine which, if any, knowledge bases were sig- nificantly related to years of professional experience, the two variables were cross- tabulated.

     summary: The annual reports generated at all three sites contained more detailed and numer- ous assessments of library processes than were addressed in the self-study docu- ments.

        date: 1986
       words: 1262
      flesch: 47
     summary: So far the majority of African literary works studied outside Af- rica have fallen into categories of Anglophone, Francophone, and lu- sophone African literatures, but the pro- duction of works in African literatures is becoming increasingly hard to ignore . It is also somehow a harbinger of future develop- ments in African literatures that can be culled out of the strong feelings expressed by the few African participants in favor of an Afro-centric, historical and social use of African literary works on their own terms, as opposed to the aesthetic and abstractly universal epistemological approach to which these works have been subjected by non-African idealist critics.

     summary: It seems that every librarian intuitively knows what constitutes good reference service or a good reference librarian, but none of these authors has been able to articulate that in a meaningful statement with which even a slim majority of the other authors (as well of their colleagues in the field throughout the profession) can agree. almost all studies of reference service (as of other areas of li- brary service), have refrained from deal- ing with the benefits of reference service.'

     summary: From the beginning of the faculty status movement, and until fairly recently, pros- elytizers for faculty status have used a for- midable array of often specious and self- serving arguments in order to convince colleagues and administrators that librari- ans and teaching faculty perform essen- tially the same tasks, and therefore should be accorded the same privileges. The authors contend that if librarians are to deserve faculty status they must comply with standards of excellence that are similar to those of the instructional faculty.

      flesch: 45
     summary: That many university administrators think of academic libraries as 'bottomless pits (academic computer centers, for which even simple funding formulas do not exist, are often considered voracious first cousins to libraries) arises from an awareness that they are more complex than the traditional measures would im- ply, but without a better understanding of the forces that are changing academic li- braries these same administrators are without the tools needed to justify a differ- ent approach to the funding issue. As academic libraries approach this next major technological change, they may find a natural and knowledgeable partner in the academic computer center (the other bottomless pit for many uni- versity administrators).

        date: 1986
       words: 1138
      flesch: 46
     summary: In- creasingly, however, as researchers begin to recognize libraries as complex social in- stitutions interacting with a dynamic envi- ronment, and as library administrators broaden their understanding of the key concepts of organizational development, the library as an organization will be sub- ject to expanded and fruitful analysis. These fourteen papers cover well the wide range of development issues faced by university libraries in developing coun- tries, from a variety of perspectives.

     summary: Each is intended to set library management within a larger context of research and writing and each draws upon the broad lit- erature of the social sciences and of librari- anship. Li- brarians must understand the mechanistic (deductive, objective, behaviorist, quanti- tative, conservative) and organismic (in- ductive, subjective, existentialist, qualita- tive, radical) world views, and relate them to library organization, service, and re- search.

     summary: Joan M. Bechtel Criticized for their isolation from the central mission of the college or university and, at the same time, struggling to accommodate the tremendous growth of information and technology, academic librarians need a new paradigm for library service that will effectively direct and in- form planning for the future. As a paradigm for library service it pro- vides no clues to the services needed in the university, nor does it help to clarify the role of librarians in the educational process.

        date: 1986
       words: 2619
      flesch: 41
     summary: By examining the experience of one academic library in assuming a central role in the administration of a microcomputer lab and in campuswide microcomputer literacy instruction, changes in librarians' professional roles are suggested, and the implications of such a role are examined. For the reasons cited above, librarians soon re- alized that there was a strong need to offer general microcomputer instruction.

     summary: DISCUSSION Pagell and Lusk suggested in the 1984 study that faculty sponsorship seemed likely to increase the response rate for M.B.A.'s.u Results of the present survey indicate that sponsorship alone does not determine response rate, suggesting there is an interactive effect between sponsor- ship of a survey and use of the services of the sponsoring organization. There were no significant differences in response rate by faculty based on sponsorship or sex of sponsor (table 3).

     summary: Professional peer review is customary among fac- ulty, and many faculty librarians also use this evaluation technique, even though a supervi- sory review might be more expedient. The premise upon which the authors based their claim that librarians do not deserve faculty status is erroneous because it fails to see library faculty as any different from other faculty, teaching or nonteaching.

     summary: Twenty-four percent of the directors had previously been an assistant or associate director in an academic institution, and 14.4 percent had been library director at another institution prior to assuming their current position. ANALYSIS OF SURVEY RESPONSE External and Internal Roles As illustrated in tables 3 and 4, there was a significant difference in the directors' perception of the time and effort they spent on the internal and external mana- gerial roles presented by this survey. 7 In interpreting the results of the present study, it is important to recognize that more than 60 percent of the respondents were library directors from private col- leges and that almost 40 percent of the di- rectors had fewer than five professional li- brarians on their staffs.

     summary: Moreover, if one considers that the es- sence of service to library clientele is not merely the hours of operation or the avail- ability of a book on the shelf, but also the degree of professional service a user re- ceives, then costing of library services be- comes even more difficult to quantify.

     summary: Her theory of library anxiety provides an excellent demonstration of how important it is for librarians to understand and make service deci- sions on the basis, not only of what library users do, but also how they feel about what they do. Insistent on the fact that the common themes she discovered in the students' journals would validate the need for and improve library instruction, Mellon ignores the implications of library anxiety, which suggest that instruction programs may be part of the problem.

     summary: EXPANDING THE VIEW OF LIBRARIES AND COMPUTER CENTERS Let me suggest some elements of a cri- tique that would encompass libraries and computer centers at the same time. Indeed the report's sec- tion on research libraries is worth a brief review here, since it argues that our pa- trons have supplanted the libraries- appropriately or not-by means of outside technologies and services available to them.

     summary: Will other university libraries follow? Not only will they begin to cata- log, conserve, and archive material in much the same way as librarians have learned to handle books in the past, but, in addition, the nature of their user-service facilities is increasingly likely to match the convenient, efficient, and considerate ref- erence service we have so long enjoyed in university libraries.

     summary: u3'4 Also, there is considerable evi- dence that many library patrons will not seek assistance from library staff when they run into trouble-in fact, many do not even realize that they are in diffi- culty. The utility of this exercise seems clearly indicated by previous studies, which show that library users are often thwarted in their search for serials and mono- graphs, and that accessibility problems frequently outnumber acquisitions prob- lems.

     summary: While the periodical standard can be com- pared, the way in which the ACRL standard for written materials is composed prevents com- parison with the book holdings of Illinois community college LRCs. In particular, the survey was designed to help identify ways in which community college LRCs might strengthen resource sharing.

     summary: It brought together approxi- mately forty-five selected participants (ac- ademic research library directors, library school deans, university administrators, representatives of library consortia and as- sociations, and sponsors of library devel- opment programs) to consider the future of universities and their research libraries through the remainder of this century and to deliberate on the needs for research on academic librarianship and for education for management of academic research li- braries. Since everything in· it is five years old, this is hardly a preferred source of material on the status of developments in information technology, academic libraries, or univer- sities.

     summary: In the history of art libraries, vertical files and various forms of periodical index- ing arose to fill the same need: access to published information outside of books. The one written in 1908 by Jane Wright, then librarian of the Cincin- nati Art Museum, describes why art librar- ianship was different from other branches at a time when art libraries were growing rapidly and developing, or finding the need for, some of the bibliographical ap- paratus we now take as standard: indexes of periodical articles and reproductions, such as the Periodical Index of the Ryerson Library of the Art Institute of Chicago or the H. W. Wilson Company's Art Index; in- dividualized thesauri for local collections, such as the A very collection at Columbia University; and picture and vertical files whose value has been proven by the sub- sequent generations of researchers.

Yet the majority of this work is given to book pub- lishing with all of its problems and pitfalls and how, with knowledge and fore- thought, you might avoid them.

This approach is advocated by Ernest L. Boyer, the former U.S. Commissioner of Education, who believes 'any college that has not thought carefully about goals should not even open the issue of college-wide assessment (Chroni- cle of Higher Education, Oct. 15, 1986, p.41).

     summary: 12 In 1983, Faculty Status 97 Anthony Tassin reported that large numbers of academic librarians are begin- ning to doubt its benefits or even assert their conviction that faculty status is not to their advantage. English's 1983 survey of ARL libraries found that 'the once- popular thrust to shift academic librarians from nonfaculty to faculty status-a move- ment of considerable impetus in the 1960s and early 1970s-had apparently run its course.'

     summary: The results suggest that training should focus on generic strategies for information seeking rather than on the functional use of integrated library systems. It is clear from these studies that users in an academic library are ready and able to use integrated library systems with little formal training with respect to the me- chanics of using electronic equipment and systems.

     summary: Within the con- text of broad cooperative agreements, a common understanding and an explicit statement of selection criteria encourage collection development librarians to think in terms of priorities and thereby to for- mulate cooperative programs with a large measure of specificity. When specific selection criteria are discussed, they are treated independently; that is, the authors do not relate the various crite- ria to each other.

     summary: It is distinguished, if at all, by a philo-technological conclusion, ' a somewhat unexpected concentration on reference books, and an overall emphasis on the impact of books generally and printing specifically that is deeply in- debted to Elizabeth L. Eisenstein's Print- ing Press as an Agent of Change (Cambridge, 1979). Within this broad context, the Glaswe- gian linguist and lexicographer looks most specifically at the history of the study of language and at what he regards as there- lated creation of reference books, mainly lexicographic but also encyclopedic.

     summary: Slavens hints that Union librarians have subse- quently experienced difficulty handling numerous special collections encumbered with names and conditions (p.337), but the collections would clearly not be the fine resources they are today without the support of both the donors and the parent institution. The listing of many collections and sin- gle items of scholarly interest, coupled with the inclusion of the Bodleian's 1980 reading regulations, points to possible use of the work as a very selective guide to theological research at Oxford.

Our results indicate that, as judged by the patron, reference librarians satisfactorily respond to the patron's in- formation needs on factual questions ap- proximately 50% of the time.

     summary: Much of Douglas' analysis is devoted to refuting various theoretical efforts to bal- ance the books of social exchange in an at- tempt to redeem informed self-interest as the exclusive motor of social action. Her eclecticism in finding the strands of her argument in Mancur Olson's classic Logic of Collective Action (which brilliantly draws the limits of col- lective action), in examples drawn from social psychology and from the history of science, and even in the nomenclature used by California vintners, makes this short book a stimulating, but also a diffi- cult, adventure in the history of modern thought.

     summary: No matter how difficult it is to agree on allocation principles, people are more likely to achieve consensus on principles than on how they should be applied. The intensity with which individual fac- ulty members and whole departments sometimes approach fund allocation rep- resents something more than just trying to capture a larger share of the budget.

The political movement that is most devastating to Chinese culture in general and Chinese university libraries in partic- ular is the ironically named Cultural Revo- lution (1966-76).

     summary: In contrast to document delivery tests, shelf availability studies measure the de- gree of accessibility for titles actually sought by library patrons. In addition to conducting the librarian observations of patron searches, the com- mittee was also responsible for analyzing the self-reported data.

       title: Developing a Systematic In-House Training Program for Integrated Library Systems
        date: 1987
       words: 6189
      flesch: 57
     summary: This series was developed with three major themes, each of which eventually became the basis for a separate workshop: (1) basic con- cepts in adult learning theory, (2) acquisi- tion of training skills, and (3) practical tips for implementing these skills when de- signing or conducting staff training. This program was necessitated by such factors as limited vendor training; the need to recruit system trainers from among the staff; and the recognition that staff training for an ILS required far more planning than for single-function auto- mated systems and that staff training is an ongoing project because of personnel changes and future system enhance- ments.

     summary: A new set of academic library standards was thus developed with which specific performance measures could be used. However, it was felt that get- ting an informed and knowledgeable opinion from the respondents on the stan- dards was essential to the success and ulti- mate usefulness of the final product, so only individuals who had already demon- strated an interest in and experience with academic library standards and regional accreditation were solicited.

     summary: While some of these offer sta- tistical evidence of learning retention, there is still no compelling body of litera- tUre to indicate that one method is supe- rior to another for teaching library skills, whether for the short or long term. The leading authors contend that stu- dents should retain library skills through- out their lives so that they can tap this abil- ity whenever they do research.

Purdue reports a full search of the entire library took 3 staff 3 weeks, a rate of 10 books per person- hour.12 Normally, however, shelf reading is not an inventory and is intended to prevent the obvious costs of searching.

     summary: Whatever one wishes to call it-a collec- tion of collections, a library of libraries, the world's largest privately supported li- brary, an international collection, or sim- ply many tubs sailing the bibliographical seas on their individual bottoms-the Har- vard University Library is a phenomenon that commands admiration and respect. One of the vir- tues of this volume is that it gives a broad perspective of change and durability within a unique institution from which the thoughtful reader can draw the lessons of history, or at least the history of libraries.

The fact that we have had great success in improving the timeliness of Booklist reviews is completely negated by articles such as yours based on data that is woefully out of date.

     summary: Overall, the data reported here about user persistence and the recommenda- tions for design of OPACs suggest the number of postings that users will scan at an OP AC is somewhat less than the num- ber of references they want from an online search, although there are exceptions. In assessing the relevance of such standards to user persistence, it is impor- tant to remember that intermediaries who set standards are concerned with the cost of a search as well as information over- load.

     summary: Do you mean by this that catalogers, acquisitions librarians, systems librarians, and others who serve behind the scenes are not as worthy of consideration as those who deal directly with the public? Does this statement imply that the hard working and innovative technical services or systems librarian is not important in the delivery of library service?

It is also important to be aware of the general indexes from these countries because these can show incon- sistencies in academic price data that might be due to anomalies in the source data.

     summary: 2 Rapid changes in the financial and tech- nological environment of libraries have forced many institutions to reevaluate their collection development programs and reexamine their commitments to co- operative options, including reviewing CRL membership. Re- cent studies of CRL membership by RLG participants-in particular, a thorough study by the University of Michigan- have stressed the need to monitor the cen- ter's utility in comparison with what re- search materials the RLG members can supply.

     summary: 2 American educators have responded to the special needs of ESL students by pro- viding support through offices and pro- grams, international student advisers, and specialized language classes, particu- larly on campuses where more than 5 per- cent of the student body is foreign. Often ESL students are a little older and more mature than the average college freshmen to whom similar introductions would be made; they have chosen to travel to a dis- tant country in order to further their edu- cation and their self-development; they have, in doing so, made emotional and fi- nancial sacrifices; they have accepted re- sponsibility for themselves.

In addition to clear reporting lines, the mention of collection development duties in a librarian's job description and assign- ment of a percentage of a person's time or work load to collection development may be a good idea.

     summary: Although the reasons for considering the implementation of these services varies from library to library most of the institutions are motivated by one of the following factors: a desire to bring ad- ditional monies into the library by charg- ing for special services to nonuniversity clientele, an opportunity to raise the pro- file and improve the image of the library on the campus and in the community, and finally, a chance to provide information services to other nonuniversity users without negatively affecting service to pri- mary clientele. Other papers include a discussion of permissible activities under United States copyright law, a view on information bro- kerage from the private sector, and contri- butions on financial and policy issues re- lated to fee-based services.

     summary: To the Editor: SALLY JO REYNOLDS Head of Cataloging _ American University Most of the criticisms that Sally Jo Reynolds levels at our article, Librarians and Faculty Members: Coping With Pressures to Publish,' have their basis in an a priori rejection of the comparisons we make between librarians and faculty and the strategies we have suggested for helping librarians engage in writing. As the article reports, reference librarians also spend several hours per week in teaching activities and they design and conduct online searches.

     summary: A mitigating factor regarding the quality of LIS research, in the opinion of the re- spondents, is that the profession as a whole is poorly equipped to recognize and strive for research quality. Five key issue areas affecting the status of LIS research are identified: image and importance of research, research competencies, strengthen- ing commitment to research in professional associations, communications between researchers and practitioners, and research on the status of LIS research.

     summary: While the broadly stated ob- jective for academic librarians, to organize and provide access to knowledge, has not altered, the way in which it is accom- plished, the environment in which it takes place, and the actual duties of librarians have altered over fifty years. In her response to Axford, Beverly Toy, in addition to agreeing with his position on the requirements for faculty status for librarians, identifies other challenges that exist for academic librarians, including those from library assistants concerned with the 'equal pay for equal work' issue and information scientists 'claiming their superior qualifications to manage li- braries.

     summary: A paper reporting their deliberations was published in CRL in 1965, and for a quarter of a century that paper has played a semi- nal role in our thinking regarding quanti- tative standards for academic libraries. That experi- ence led us in 1959 to adopt in ACRL' s first set of college library standards the figure of 50,000 as the minimum number of vol- umes that every college library should own.

     summary: 17 Also, in response to a reviewer's query as to whether the degree of diffi- culty should be used to judge the quality of reference service, Hernon and McClure state that 'factual and bibliographic ques- tions are generally recognized as two of the easier types of reference questions.' Therefore if we are really interested in measuring the performance of reference desk service we must ask how well a test represents the main body of reference questions.

Term paper counseling (TPC), sometimes called re- search consultations, term paper assis- tance, or tutorials, has successfully com- bined elements of pure reference work and traditional library instruction to pro- duce a new perspective on academic li- brary service. .

     summary: College librarians are frequently critical of this arrangement and evidence no small amount of concern over the quality of fac- ulty book selection. The results of the Albion survey make it clear that faculty value many of the ser- vices that Albion College librarians offer; consider them to be professionals; frater- nize with them in a variety of college and community settings; support tenure eligi- bility and faculty rank and status for them; and consider that they should conduct re- search.

      flesch: 58
     summary: JUSTIFICATION Hypotheses of justification for work on expert systems posited until now address the economic or technological reasons for proceeding with the development of par- ticular systems.7 An expert system in ref- erence is desirable primarily because it can preserve the corporate memory within reference departments and can increase the individual's success in answering questions. Few individuals outside univer- sity laboratories and AI-specific compan- ies are able to create expert systems from scratch, and thus vendors offer develop- ment tools, variously known as shells, in- ference engines, framework, and struc- tures, that allow users to test the waters without investing hundreds of thousands of dollars in custom development.

     summary: College and Research Libraries Book Selection, Collection Development, and Bounded Rationality Charles A. Schwartz A model of how librarians may actually go about book selection is presented in three ways: bounded rationality, tacit knowledge, and symbolic content. Those who want to understand book selection in behavioral terms face what seems to be an unsolvable problem: that 'selection is always a private, cognitive activity that does not submit to precise observations or delineation.

     summary: It is ar- gued that academic libraries following this strategy can create a decision-making structure whereby important collection development initiatives are taken by the library with the advice and consent of the teaching faculty. Heretofore, the collection development function in academic libraries has usually been performed by a staff of full-time sub- ject bibliographers, in some areas supple- mented by a small number of part-time se- lectors who may have other primarrs duties (such as reference or cataloging).

     summary: Is it finally the duty of the biographer to give us accidents (the mi- nute details of private life, in Dr. Joh~-- / son's words) or substance-or the two in clarified, or at least clarifying, juxtaposi- tion? Whittemore promises in his first paragraph to focus on five collections of early biography: Plu- tarch's Lives of the Noble Greeks and Romans, Aelfric' s Lives of the Saints, Vasari' s Lives of the Artists, Holinshed' s Chronicles, and Johnson's Lives of the Poets.

     summary: College and Research Libraries 50th Anniversary Feature- Foundations of Academic Librarianship Michael K. Buckland The bases of academic library service are twofold: the role of any academic library service is to facilitate access to documents, and the mission of each academic library service is to support the mission of the academic institution it serves.

     summary: Otherwise, library users will spend those same dollars elsewhere, getting the same products but from a dif- ferent source. Among the trends are: more focus on user needs, with users accessing electronic information directly; an increasing tendency for information users to bypas~ the library; the obsolescence of first- and second-generation systems; a contention between optical products and online access; and a fo- cus in the United States on formulation of major information policies.

      flesch: 53
     summary: A five-page questionnaire was mailed to the libraries of 68 postsecondary educational institutions in the three prairie provinces of Canada in order to determine two things: first, the extent of pressures to remove, relocate, or reclassify library materials between 1980 and 1985; and second, to determine the effectiveness of written selection policies in dealing with such pressures. Of these 29 respondents with a written selection policy, only 7 reported that the policy provided a standard written proce- dure to be followed in the event of re- quests for removal, relocation, or reclassi- fication of library materials.

Only pencils, notepaper or index cards, typewriters (as long as they do not bother other researchers), cameras, per- sonal computers (without printers) and other material germane to the research as determined by the archivist should be al- lowed in the reading room.

     summary: The study focused on determining the accu- racy of information patrons received, the level of skill student reference assistants used in negotiating patron needs, the abil- ity of student reference assistants to refer patrons to professional librarians, and the degree of satisfaction patrons felt about the service they had received. The fact that nineteen questions (25 percent) were only partially answered suggests that student reference assistants may be relying too heavily on too few sources, may not understand the question fully enough to provide all the information re- quired for a complete answer, or do not have or take enough time.

     summary: Concerning application of the law of diminishing marginal returns to the creation of cataloging copy, the relevant input is cataloging staff time; the output we should be concerned with is not mere cataloging copy, which is after all a means and not an end in itself, but rather with that end, that is, with useful and sought access points. In the second graph (figure 2), the vertical axis depicts the costs of cataloging staff (i.e., salary and benefits, which are of course a function of cataloging staff time), while the horizontal axis depicts useful and sought access points.

     summary: All of these 'public' collections along with academic library collections form a stronger framework on which truly de- tailed, thorough scholarship necessarily depends. The sheer size of the book world must be seriously reckoned with-it is arbitrary to consider simply col- lege and university libraries without tak- ing into account independent research li- braries such as the Newberry or the Huntington, museum library collections, natural history, technology, art, or early American historical society collections, great and humble.

     summary: The writer goes on to describe in detail the organization of technical services and ob- serves that since most of the work of processing goes on behind the scenes, it attracts little notice from the majority of library users who concentrate their attention 'on the per- son at the desk. Dennis Carrigan, summarizing the po- litical economy' of academic librarians in an article published here in July 1988, reminded us that the administrators who control the institutional resources upon which the library depends are traditionally not major consumers of library services and can't be counted on to understand those services or to assess competently their quality or their importance.

     summary: For the first time since Panizzi, a major English language catalog- ing code abandoned the idea of corporate authorship and limited the application of corporate main entry to five (later six, see AACR2R, 1988) Seeing that the ambiguity of the Paris Prin- ciples had made it possible for national and international catalog4tg codes to remain far apart on a vital conceptual question, the IFLA Committee on Cataloguing en- couraged Eva Verona to do a study of cor- porate headings (published in 1975 as Cor- porate Headings: Their Use in Library Catalogues and National Bibliographies: A Comparative and Critical Study) which es- poused the Continental European idea that there is no such thing as a corporate author, though the limited use of corporate main entry headings in author catalogs may be justified.

     summary: Current job activities and levels were examined, and staff were asked to indicate how the activities making up their positions might change over the next three to five years-the time period for the full implementation of OASIS, the automated library system of the University of Iowa Libraries. The literature did not reveal specific methodologies that would accommodate all of the elements needed for the Iowa study, which were (1) discrete task analy- sis for each position in the library system; (2) an ability to analyze the effectiveness or efficiency of each activity; (3) a way to determine how each activity might change over a specific length of time under de- fined environmental conditions, i.e., im- plementation of a library automation sys- tem; and (4) the opportunity to examine individual activities from both the individ- ual and systemwide perspectives.

     summary: n combination with other col- lection management reviews, libraries conduct use studies of serials to determine the extent serials are used, the age at which they are no longer useful, which subjects are used more heavily than others, and which titles should be considered core journals in each subject. Although use studies are often con- ducted as a means of identifying titles to be cancelled or transferred to storage, they are seldom employed to justify budget Mari.fran

     summary: While calling for equity in compensation for library assistants, the paper identifies the responsibilities of professional librarians in set- ting realistic expectations for library staff. In his article entitled Continuity or Discontinuity-a Persistent Personnel Is- sue in Academic Librarianship, ' Allen Veaner asserts that library assistants are highly dissatisfied with their job duties and rewards because librarians have not been able to maintain a clear distinction in job duties and responsibilities between the professional and the nonprofessional levels.

     summary: Job satisfaction has been frequently de- July 1990 bated, discussed, and researched since Robert Hoppock wrote Job Satisfaction in 1935. Beer, in his article Organizational Size and Job Satisfaction, cites interviews conducted by James Worthy in 1950 which 'indicated that organizational size was the single-most important variable re- sponsible for low job satisfaction.

        date: 1990
       words: 10734
      flesch: 59
     summary: I reasoned that the way in which the role of Chinese university libraries was perceived might be reflective of the domi- nant cultural, political, and economic real- ities of China, and that, as these realities are vastly different from those of North America (where I had lived my life until now), so might the role of university li- braries in China be much at variance with the perceived role of university libraries on this continent. THE PLACE OF LIBRARIES IN CHINA China has four types of libraries: those in schools (including university libraries), public libraries, libraries associated with the Academica Sinica (a scientific research organization that has many branches throughout China), and union libraries (established in factories for the use of the employees and their families).

     summary: Further, they report that of all the types of academic libraries, university library directors have the great- est turnover (an increase of 57.9 percent between 1976 and 1981). The Assertive Search Judging from a recent discussion of the search process in the Chronicle of Higher Education, academics are becoming more assertive in undertaking search processes in order to secure good leadership in the face of institutional change.20 This asser- tiveness includes the increased use of ex- ecutive search firms for the recruitment of academic officers, and often the pursuit of individuals who are not applicants for a position.

     summary: , n the 1930s the vision for the use of microfilm technology in libraries and the scholarly com- munity in general was a com- plex one incorporating elements of preser- vation, space management, access to materials, and productivity. In addition to emphasizing the effi- ciency afforded by microfilm technology, librarians, having entered the new me- chanical age at last, exulted in the techni- cal details of microphotography.

     summary: Following this analogy, I have perceived an assumption among some librarians from larger institutions that college librarians would love to move up to the major leagues (or the 'Big Show' as the character Crash Davis called it in the quintessential baseball movie, Bull Durham), if only they could. In recent years college librarians have been strongly encouraged to publish more.

     summary: Because library directors seldom move up or laterally into other administrative positions within the larger academic orga- nization, some view their position as a dead-end job. While organizational and attitudinal barriers may restrict library di- rectors' upward mobility, the managerial roles library directors emphasize may also restrict their ability to obtain the necessary power and required influence for upward mobility within the larger academic orga- nization.

     summary: The reality that bibliographic instruction librarians are often unwilling to face is underscored by Betsy Baker who notes that most library instruction in aca­ demic settings is confined to one-hour ses­ sions, that students often have other, le­ gitimate priorities than the submission of a well-researched paper, and that faculty often do research that bypasses the li­ brary. Maureen Pastine and Bill Katz have compiled twenty-four essays that attempt to explore the ways in which programs of library instruction can be integrated into the curriculum to promote active, critical, and lifelong learning.

     summary: In general, the hard-pure disciplines are the natural sciences, the hard-applied disciplines are those such as engineering and pharmacy, the soft-pure are usually the humanities and social sciences, and the soft-applied disciplines are mainly professional areas such as law (and, one assumes, library science). Becher distinguishes at the outset be- tween academic disciplines and the fac- ulty engaged in their pursuit; he then sets out to show how the activities, per- ceptions, and relationships of faculty in different disciplines are directly affected by a variety of qualities particular to those disciplines.

     summary: The power of the tools that computers place in our hands has led many-one need not search long for ex- amples-to make extravagant claims about the ability of computer technology to provide revolutionary solutions for a host of previously intractable problems, from office management to automated factories, from ATM machines to expert systems. The subtitle describes precisely the au- thorial strategy: to bring together in one place a list of facts, anecdotes, study re- sults, and surveys that pertain to a gen- eral theme, such as computer crimes, and to let these then define the landscape for discussion.

     summary: And as they seek to adjust to these pressures with cooperative pro- grams, such as increased resource shar- ing, research librarians seem only to be compounding the crisis by stimulating further price increases. For research librarians, the primary culprits are the large commercial publishers, whose aggressive pricing policies and undisguised profit motive have made them singular ob- jects of attack.

     summary: Although most extensively used by marketers, focus group research has been carried out by psychotherapists and counselors, community developers, con- sumer affairs professionals, small busi- nesses, and lawyers, among others.9-13 Focus group research also has been used in a variety of ways in college and research libraries. Benefits include the fact that participants tend to give candid information, that the technique is fairly inexpensive, and that the whole proce- dure can be carried out quickly.4 The major weakness of focus group research is that data obtained from focus groups cannot be easily generalized to the larger population.

     summary: Broader sharing of scholarly ideas can be successful through addressing the larger arena of university and schol- arly distribution and ownership of intellectual ideas. As the expression of scholarly ideas becomes less and less affordable, the question of whether the 1909 or 1976 copyright law, or any copyright law, is the right law for sharing scholarship is again raised in some quarters.

     summary: Unfortunately, the subject index could use more work; the entry for England, for example, lists more than 100 page references with no further subject breakdown. Along with the more standard lexical fare offered by its predecessors, it provides broad cov- erage of scientific and technical termi- nology and colloquial speech based on material gathered in the course of Macura's years of work as a translator, as well as from surveys of Russian refer- ence works.

     summary: There is no reason why a person of modest power or wealth might not have good ideas, or why he or she should be hindered in advancing those ideas in the market solely because of a lack of power or wealth. Still another stance is to assert with Karl R. Popper that while we can never be sure that we know the truth, we can root out falsity with certainty, and the best way to do this is a free trade in ideas.8 Irrespective of epistomological stance, the marketplace of ideas concept is an example of process theory.

     summary: Hypermedia sys- tems are being expanded to include in- terfaces to the computerized resour~es of the library, and librarians can expect to see more hypermedia systems being de- veloped that provide links to biblio- graphic and full-text data.34 With the rapid development of new nontradi- Citations in Hypermedia 533 tional information systems, a great num- ber of which are external to libraries and may be commercial ventures, many li- braries are suffering from identity cri- ses.35 By becoming involved in the development processes of appropriate systems, librarians can seize the initia- tive and widen the scope of the library to include a variety of new systems, includ- ing hypermedia. Citation practices in hypermedia systems are, therefore, inconsistent, paralleling, to some extent, those in print media.

     summary: Hernon divides LIS research into basic research, 588 the discovery of knowledge and theory · building; applied research, which in- cludes the testing, confirmation, revision, and refutation of knowledge; and action research, the investigation of a problem as an aid for local decision making. Between Hernon and Lynch, we are presented with a variety of viewpoints on factors affecting LIS research, includ- ing national agendas and international aspects, ideology, LIS education, the role of different agencies and interest groups, and the function of research in different types of libraries.

     summary: Our knowledge of catalog use will be enhanced by the accu- mulation of more studies of this type, particularly those that examine all re- mote use, including that over local, cam- pus- or universitywide, and national networks-presumably each used by quite different populations. Peters undertakes a review of the literature in the first eight chapters of the book, citing much of what has been pub- lished on online catalogs.

     summary: It presents the thesis that American social science developed under the influence of a na- tional ideology of uniqueness, or ex- ceptionalism, exaggerated to the point of claiming that this country was exempt from the vicissitudes of European his- tory. In part two, covering the thirty years after the Civil War, Ross focuses on the crisis in exceptionalist ideology and the formation of social science disciplines, particularly economics, political science, and sociology, which she regards as the core disciplines.

     summary: Within fifteen years, space pressure in the main library began to spin off a number of branch libraries, two of which were driven back into the main library by legislative pressures in the 1970s, and three of which are now being united into a science library. My experience with branch libraries indicates that collections are much more heavily used when they are in the same building as the offices and classrooms of their specialties.

     summary: We might: • review research-based books produced in other professions and disciplines, noting the omission of important LIS procedural studies and coverage of the types of evaluations encountered in complex organizations, such as libraries and information centers; • conduct procedural and other types of research with investigators from other professions and disciplines, thereby altering the self-contained paradigm noted by Gatten; • expect more LIS faculty directing doc- toral students, and the students them- selves, to be well versed and experienced in the conduct of different types of re- search and the use of various theoret- ical frameworks; • offer special awards and prizes for such research; and • attend sessions of professional associ- ations in which researchers present procedural studies. College and Research Libraries Editorial LIS Extends to the Research Frontier Advancements in research procedures (research designs and methodologies) and in the development of reliability and validity indicators occur on a cross-dis- ciplinary and interdisciplinary basis.

The concept of science literacy encompasses two distinct but related dimensions: the first being concerns for the quality of scientific and technical education that American students receive at all levels, and the second being deficiencies and misconceptions that exist in the overall public understanding of science.

       words: 1331
      flesch: 49
     summary: Several aspects of this treatment are discussed, with more attention given to deacidification (fifteen pages), a tech- nology neither fully evolved nor widely used, at least on a large scale, than to preservation microfilming (eleven pages), photocopying (three pages), and digital techniques (two pages). For example, because of limitations on space, DePew deliberately excludes dis- cussion of the administration and or- ganization of preservation activities, referring readers to the Association of Research Libraries' Preservation Organi- zation and Staffing, SPEC Kit 160 (Wash- ington, D.C., 1990) and works by noted librarians in the field.

     summary: It will surely take its place next to the Botvker Annual and the American Library Di~ectory 'on the reference shelves of medium-sized to large libraries of all kinds, and it will just as certainly find its way into the hands of students, scholars, or general users anxious to find the win- ner of the 1956 Caldecott Medal or the significance of the tenth digit in the ISBN. It is organized into chapters dealing with libraries as institu- tions, librarians, librarianship, library materials, library operations, special groups of library users, public relations, technology, current issues in the profes- sion, and library trivia.

     summary: High use books get 'less than their share' of browsing-use, but has also noticed that the figures in the tables provided show that as the number of recorded uses increases, the number , of browsing uses tends to decrease. Since the most practical application of book use research has always hinged on the question of whether circulation figures suffice to indicate the total use of a given volume, the key component of our find- ings is that of the books with no circula- tion but some in-library use.

     summary: In a 1981 article en- titled Improving the Effectiveness of Li- braries through Improvements in the Quality of Working Life, Charles Mar- tell proposes a redesigned library work environment that he suggests will im- prove the services libraries offer and the ability of library staff to cope with rapid change and enhance the quality of li- ·brary work life.16 Robert E. Molyneux's Staff Patterns and Library Growth at ARL Libraries, 1962/63 to 1983/84, re- 218 College & Research Libraries views expenditures for personnel and reports an increase in the ratio of support staff to librarians. Ninety-one percent of all responding ARL libraries report some overlap be- tween professional and paraprofessional salaries.

     summary: Use and user studies have a long his- tory and remain important means of evaluating library collections and deter- mining future directions for collection development. The OCLC/ Amigos sys- tem was not available for this study, but it appears to be an ideal complement to this type of collection use analysis.8 THE UNUSUAL CASE OF PT Class PT emerged during the study as a highly unusual collection.

     summary: The results also lend some credence to Roberts' view that the absence of any training information for instruction librarians in the literature may be due, in part, to the myth that anyone can teach. 1 Others, too, have been criti- cal of user instruction, claiming among other things that it stifles creativity.

     summary: Unfortunately, as Butler and Gratch note, much of the available litera- ture on library user surveys is descrip- tive and not easily transferable to the planning process.21 The tendency of both de- signers of library surveys and of those who respond to them is to limit their ideas about information needs to those that a library is traditionally expected to fulfill.

     summary: To the Editor: MICHAEL GORMAN Dean of Library Services California State University, Fresno Certain conclusions drawn by Pamela J. Cravey in her study on the occupational role identity of women academic librarians have been bothering me since the publication of this article in C&RL (52:150-64, Mar. 1991). The next accusation against Atkins is that his book does little to chronicle the influence of individual librarians on the development of their [sic] operations.

     summary: But ultimately, selection of the best candidate, at a given salary, is an administrative decision based on consultation with library faculty. My informal research indicates that library faculty have only very foggy ideas about the amount of money availa- ble for such discretionary items as travel, equipment, and supplies even in those in- stitutions with full disclosure.

     summary: Other goals realized by the experience included the opportunity for the director of libraries to work closely with the director of university planning on library planning and to exchange in- formation about trends in higher educa- tion and the external and internal environments and for the library staff to be seen by the director of university planning as knowledgeable about trends and issues in information management and as engaged in the academic life of the institution. As a result, the institu- tion's collective vision statement was unin- formed by the knowledge and wise counsel librarians could have contributed, and Strategic planning processes create opportunities for staff at all levels of the organization to inform themselves about the organization and its environment and empowers them to work creatively.

     summary: Characteristically, many of the essays begin with easy, self-evident, or unsub- stantiated generalizations: Perhaps no area of library leadership receives so much criticism as the area of com- munication; Communication is one of the most discussed topics in libraries; Conflict is one of our most difficult areas for communication because we generally feel strongly about the issues involved in the situation. Like bad politicians, we aspiring library leaders stand here mouthing platitudes with our feet carefully parallel, claiming a position of leadership and hoping no one will notice we are doing nothing.-Marcia

But that is definitely what he is talking about: the attempt of the neocons ... to persuade the center that it's the left rather than the right that threatens the integrity of the university by injecting external political issues into academia.

     summary: The flaw is that 66 percent of the viewers and only 30 percent of the nonviewers are sophisticated in library use by reason of their being nonfreshman. It is fairly obvious to any librarian that an upperclassman is bound to be somewhat more experienced in library use than a freshman.

     summary: While it seemed incongruous to some that there would be gender-based salary inequities in a predominately female occupation, the librarians successfully insisted that library faculty salaries be reviewed with those of other faculty members. Salary equity is a broad term used to describe the concept of al- leviating discrimination in salary.

     summary: Although Chwe found no significant difference in the level of overall job satisfaction between the two groups, he concluded catalogers were significantly less satisfied than ref- erence librarians in several dimensions of their jobs: creativity, social service, and variety.11 George P. D'Elia concluded that job environment, rather than gender, type of library, or vocational needs, affected job satisfaction. The influence of this view ex- tended well into the 1950s.4 Robert Hoppock's first intensive stu- dy of job satisfaction, performed in 1935, concluded that a multiplicity of factors affected job satisfaction.

        date: 1993
       words: 5677
      flesch: 49
     summary: The purpose of this paper is to discuss in broad terms (1) the notion of canon formation and evolution, (2) its importance with regard to collection development (essentially, to draw out the connection between the canon as collection development officers find it-ready- made-and the theoretical foundations of collection development), (3) to swvey the main instruments of collection evaluation and development, and assess how well they contribute to adequate collection develop- ment in what will be referred to as tem- porally parochial or cosmopolitan terms, and (4) to show how the dilemma of collec- tion development arises through the conflict of present-day literature with the possi- bility of future disparate canons. The worth of a work is insidiously, fundamentally, so- cially, and historically mediated.7 COLLECTION DEVELOPMENT Such a relativistic stance regarding how canons are formed and evolve, if accepted, has profound importance for the self-conception of the goals and pur- poses of library collection development.

     summary: In all these areas, and ·in many, many more instances, the author documents his view that the arrival of book technology swept away the chief ideological underpinnings of medieval and classical thought and paved the way for the rise of modern social, economic, and political structures in Europe. Although the title Cataloging Heresy might suggest that this book proposes radically different ways of looking at cat- aloging and bibliographic control, it is in- stead a rather useful overview of some of the problems with uniform titles, subject headings, classification, and the descrip- tion of special types of library materials.

     summary: Although the title Cataloging Heresy might suggest that this book proposes radically different ways of looking at cat- aloging and bibliographic control, it is in- stead a rather useful overview of some of the problems with uniform titles, subject headings, classification, and the descrip- tion of special types of library materials. The article by Sook-Hyun Kim examines the practice of including serials holdings information in notes in bibliographic records, rather than relegating such information to a linked holdings record.

Charles Osburn and Ross Atkinson, in their brief forward, emphasize the dynamism, evolu- tion, diversity, and challenges evident in collection management, and they appear to have accepted as their primary goal the provision of a forum for critiques, new ideas, revisions, and glimpses of future directions.

There have not been any published re- ports on longitudinal studies comparing serial title cancellations in different li- braries.

Indeed, it is not simply the lack of indexes and abstracts that include women's studies journals that is so frustrating-it is also the unpredictable nature of the women's studies journal indexing that is done in most indexes and abstracts.

     summary: And thus the book ends- noting in conclusion that [computers], networks, and electronic documents will provide library services in the future with interesting possibilities. If this book is any indication of the wisdom and facility with which libraries are prepar- ing for the advent of the online age, then the future of library services is indeed dim.-Ross Atkinson, Cornell University, Ithaca, New York.

     summary: Indeed, Baum might be considered a pioneer for making one of the few attempts to date to trace the impact of various kinds of feminism on the thought and political agenda of American library women. In a brief introductory paragraph, she dismisses out of hand obtrusive techniques of data gathering such as sur- veys and interviews, and makes vague and undocumented references to inter- nal debates about the nature of 'library feminism' and defensiveness among library women in an effort to justify her design of an empirical, unobtrusive study.

     summary: As more people have spoken and written without repression about the terrible con- ditions, inadequate support, and mind- less censorship and as more deficiencies in library policies and facilities have been uncovered, dissident opinions have begun to be published in mainstream library pe- riodicals and non-Party library associa- tions have been formed. Libraries whose catalogs are featured include academic, public, school, and special.

     summary: Even if they did, added revenues of $180,000 would allow them to reduce the cost of a library subscription only by a bit more than $100 (and it is unlikely that such revenues would be used to reduce library costs). It is good to read that strategic planning is going well in academic libraries (Meredith Butler and Hiram Davis, Strategic Planning as a Catalyst for Change in the 1990s, College & Research Libraries, 53:393-403, Sept. 1992), but not so good that some early pioneers are still being overlooked in the current literature of library planning.

     summary: A primary purpose of academic information services, therefore, is to as- sist the student or scholar not only in locating needed information but also in determining which items of information to read (or hear) in which order. While information services have in the past been concerned primarily with the extended network, it will become increasingly im- portant for academic information services to participate more actively in the direc- tion and operation of the functional net- work as well.

     summary: Most disturbing is that the ESS re- quires annual renewal, which is a destabil- izing provision that gives new librarians little time to develop professional skills, pursue independent research, and study for professional development not directly related to job assignments given by super- visors. If library administrators do not need to show cause for contract nonrenewal, then newer librarians are unable to participate in criteria, particu- larly professional responsibilities and self-determination, and academic free- dom, which the ACRL cites as impera- .

Stieg does not do that, and so cannot seriously address the question of the place of LIS programs or schools in research universities; nor can she answer the questions she poses of what a good LIS school is and what a school's re- sponsibilities are.

     summary: The other constraint on the capacity of university libraries to assimi- late the world's diversity is time--fac- ulty time. The danger that critical pedagogy pre- sents to the library is that its advocates will assume that the content of libraries represents yesterday's canon (see Mark Cyzyk's article, Canon Formation, Li- brary Collections, and the Dilemma of Collection Development, in the January May1993 1993 C&RL) and needs ruthless recon- struction to flourish, rather than under- standing what libraries really represent: the interplay of culture, ethnicity, gen- der, and language across time and generations.

     summary: 1° Kingma and Eppard correctly describe the differ- ence between individual and library sub- scription prices, but their suggestion that the economic solution is to increase the cost of faculty photocopying services for library journals neglects the reality we know so well, that when photocopying is made unattractive, direct appropriation of material or mutilation grow in propor- tion. It has long been assumed that the refereeing process used by scholarly journals served as an effective safeguard against the publication of work that is either inferior or repetitive of earlier publications.

     summary: It was the authors' hy- pothesis that searchers working on interdisciplinary projects who conduct online information searches meet the challenges of interdisciplinary work more successfully and develop better re- searched projects than those who em- ploy manual information search methods. Is there a difference between manual and online search methods in terms of relevant material retrieved for interdisciplinary topics (faculty evaluated)?

     summary: This timely report on the present sta- tus of scholarly communication is a joint effort of the Mellon Foundation, which has demonstrated considerable interest in academic libraries for at least the past five years, and the Association of Re- search Libraries (ARL). As a comprehensive yet succinct statement of the conditions sur- rounding scholarly communication and the evolving role of the academic re- search.library, the Mellon study offers a welcome opportunity to take stock, re- flect, and place very rapidly moving developments in a useful perspective.

     summary: It concerns it- self not with single authors or presses, nor regional publishing, nor reviews, how-to-books, vanity or subsidy publish- ing, or fine presses. The problem is that there has been a culture shift, and what Glazier chooses finally to call small press, numbering about 700 at the beginning of his period, has been overwhelmed by small, independent publishers of New Age books, cookbooks, and self-help books.

     summary: Considering the role of librarians in the production of this volume, this expenditure of library re- sources for the duplication and redupli- cation of conference papers of uneven quality is ironic. A third issue, quite separate from the quality of the proceedings, is whether it is necessary to republish them after prior publication as volume 15 (1992) of the journal Collection Management.

     summary: Many librarians and academics see the low marginal cost of disseminating a copy of an electronic article and the fact that few electronic journals charge a fee as evidence that electronic journals will solve the current problem of serials price escalation. The simplest economic model of electronic journals is identical to a model of high- priced print journals that are not sold at a lower price to individual subscribers.

      flesch: 50
     summary: However, based on their undergraduate majors, directors do not significantly prefer one type of institution, decision style, or orientation over another. While this research shows that there are differences in decision styles among directors at different institutions, pre- vious research also shows that directors give managerial roles different emphasis according to the type of institution that employs them.41 Aspiring library managers may wish to consider the relationship be- tween their decision styles and the ap- proaches frequently found at their institution or at other types of institu- tions where they may seek employment.

     summary: Much has been written and continues to be written about the stringent times in which research libraries are operating. The acquisition budget may still be sacrosanct in many universities, but libraries are expected increasingly to maintain it themselves by cutting else- where within their own resources.2 At the same time that their purchasing power is shrinking, research libraries must acquire and provide access to a rapidly expanding amount of nontradi- tional formats and sources of informa- tion, further complicating an already complex budgetary situation.

The editors throw together such diverse computational and analytical areas as Internet-accessible catalogs, document retrieval, text management software, textual analysis, and critical editions, making it difficult to find one's way in a sea of irrelevant noise.

It has nothing to say about the application of information technologies in the scien- tific or academic realms.

     summary: SURVEY RESULTS Length of Employment When asked about longevity on the job, library support staff in Wisconsin proved to be a stable group. In The Role, Status, and Working Conditions of Para- professionals, Larry R. Oberg et al. pro- vide an excellent review of the literature on support staff as well as information on paraprofessionals in academic libraries based on administrators' responses to a nationwide survey.1 In Job satisfaction among Support Staff in Twelve Ohio Aca- demic Libraries, Coleen Parmer and Den- nis East explore support staff satisfaction in five job dimensions (supervision, co- workers, work, benefits, and pay), but they do not isolate computerization as a factor in job satisfaction.2 In 1987Dorothy E. Jones surveyed support staff in three academic libraries to determine their attitudes toward technology in what she terms the the technology-acquisition period.

     summary: Proliferating accrediting bodies, rising costs, and stagnant or declining higher education funding have combined to make specialized accreditation a contro- versial topic on many campuses around the country.1 Because funding for public colleges and universities will likely con- tinue to be problematic, and schools will continue the struggle to retrench, specialized accreditation may become an even more contentious issue over the next few years. Various groups engage in specialized accreditation without benefit of COPA sanctioning.9

     summary: The journal literature discusses such subjects as the appropriateness of strategic planning for libraries, the incorporation of organizational values into the strategic planning process, the entrepreneurial spirit, implementation and first-year ap- praisal, and utilization of strategic plan- ning by new directors at ARL libraries.2 There are also studies of strategic planning in public libraries, state chapters, a school of library and information science, urban libraries, rural libraries, national libraries, and internationallibraries.3 The Association of Research Libraries issued a SPEC Kit on strategic planning as early as 1984, and the Association of College and Research Libraries has offered a continuing education course (Principles of Strategic Planning in the Library Environmenf') and developed a strategic plan for charting the future direction of the Association.• A mono- graph published in 1992 by the Society of Douglas G. Birdsall is Associate Director of Libraries for Information Access and Systems and Oliver D. Hensley is Professor of Education at Texas Teclz University, Lubbock, Texas 79409-()002. 149 150 College & Research Libraries Research Administrators, Strategic Planning for University Research, offers a model for strategic planning which may be the best fit yet for academic libraries.6 Strategic plan- ning for university research is a process of establishing the future purposes of a unit by striving for a consensus for developing its research with chief partners and major constituencies.

     summary: Since reference librarians must deal with questions in a vast range of subjects and in varying degrees of complexity, it behooves them to pool expertise since no one can fully master all subject areas in the realm of knowledge. Reference librarians need to exchange viewpoints with their peers, and to discuss with them their frustra- tions, disappointments, and feelings of resentment toward patrons.

     summary: 17 Peter Hernon and Charles R. McClure modify Tuckman's formula and ex- ample.18 Examples of other formulae in- clude ones by Hubert M. Blalock, Jr., Robert Swisher and Charles R. McClure, Charles H. Busha and Stephen P. Harter, Margaret Slater, and I. S. Simpson.19 M. Carl Drott presents a table for de- termining sample size and discusses three examples for the selection of a sample: (1) one for examining library records, (2) one for studying the percep- tions of library patrons about library services, and (3) one for investigating the condition of books in the collection.20 Cheryl Metoyer-Duran, in an appendix, March 1994 guides readers conducting readability stu- dies in the selection of paragraphs from published and unpublished works.21 Powell, Hernon, Slonim, Isaac and Mi- chael, and Cohen, among others, reprint tables of sample sizes for a given popu- lation.22 However, such tables may rep- resent a rather simplistic, and quite possibly conservative, method for ascer- taining a sample size. This article provides an introduction to sampling, determination of sample size, and selection of the actual sample.

     summary: In this hostile atmosphere, research which ad- dresses the methods used by scientists to seek and retrieve journal articles should contribute useful data for academic li- brarians to aid in decision making. Access and retrieval of journal articles by scientists have been investigated over the years by a number of researchers, frequently within broader studies of in- formation-seeking behavior.

Since scholarship is an integral part of the faculty responsibility, the schedule of assignments must include an opportunity to perform scholarly work.

For then and there-during the forging of stand- ard nonstandard processing practices in American libraries; during the growth of a plantation mentality by and toward library workers; during the debate on the proper training for librarians; during the calcification of the LC-ALA-ARL minuet-is the story of how our profes- sion got to be the way we were, and are.

     summary: College and Research Libraries Western European Political Science: An Acquisition Study Barbara Walden, Charles Fineman, WilliamS. Monroe, and Mary Jane Parrine National bibliographies from 1990 for France, Italy, Sweden, Belgium, Iceland, and Catalonia (Spain) formed tire basis for a study of U.S and Canadian acquisitions in the field of Western European political science materials. Informal co- operative collection development ar- rangements have been begun among Scandinavianist librarians, but these li- brarians have also observed that many of the difficulties in this area arise not solely from lack of funding for acquisi- tions but also from declining availability of support staff and increasing pressure for the time of area studies librarians to be spent outside of selection and collec- tion development.

     summary: The results of the statistical analysis revealed that union presence was a negative predictor of organizational loyalty; registered and nonregistered union members shared similar attitudes toward their employing organization; and union commitment tended to be a positive predictor of organizational commitment. The conflicting findings in the test of the relationships between organizational commitment and union presence and between organizational commitment and union com- mitment might be partially attributed to the fact that union commitment was relatively low among the library professionals.

     summary: Information literacy is now being explored in more depth within the con- text of the literacy spectrum.47 It appears that dependence on information in to- day's society-whether a highly devel- oped information society or a developing community of illiterates or neoliter- ates-could influence and expand the contemporary meaning of literacy to in- clude information literacy. Current literature indicates that librarians plan to keep information literacy in the headlines, and that attention is also being paid to information literacy teaching in public libraries.

In the first section, entitled Document Deliv- ery Services, the author offers chapters on the evaluation of library collections, using expert judgment and bibliog- raphies as well as circulation data and in-house use.

     summary: The section on evaluation of reference service focuses primarily on answering of factual ques- tions. Rethinking Reference ties together many threads of discontent with current models of reference service found in the literature, at conferences, in electronic discussion groups, and at each of our own institutions.

     summary: Staff, the technical infrastructure, and information resources are the building blocks of research libraries now and will be integral parts of the research library of the future, whatever form it takes. Staff: Whatever the shape of the eventual electronic information environment, staff will need a more sophisticated understanding of hardware, software, and the construc- tion of information resources.

     summary: As we fill journals and conferences with more and more papers on the possible obsoles- cence of libraries in the electronic age, we remain oddly silent in front of the real situations of real institutions. I have no specific recommendations to make at this point, nothing to put on the table except a modest proposal that more at- tention, watchfulness, and thoughtful consideration of institutions become part of our professional agenda.

     summary: A Persistent Personnel Issue in Academic Librarianship, II Allen B. Veaner Computerization has transformed the bulk of library work from moving physi- cal objects, for example, producing, sorting, and filing catalog cards, to elec- tronically manipulating a vast array of symbols. The role of academic librarians-the design and management of information systems for the academic community-is determined by these exclusive pro- grammatic respo11sibilities and related powers.

He described German books intermingled with Russian volumes withdrawn from circulation under Stalin and stacked from floor to ceiling, all jammed in so tightly that those at the bottom had crumbled.

        date: 1994
       words: 7473
      flesch: 48
     summary: To make reference service in academic libraries effective Jive changes are required: (1) reference librarians must be given clear budgetary and programmatic authority; (2) the hierarchy must be flattened and reference librarians placed closer to the top of the organization; (3) support services ·must be provided so that reference librarians are not encumbered by nonprofessional tasks; ( 4) reference librarians should be brought together and not isolated in small departments; and (5) public services planning and priority setting should be done by reference librarians. Absent from most of the discussion is an understanding that organizational changes are required if reference librarians are to accomplish what is being asked of them.

Similarly, the options available for network access for public libraries or communities have expanded dramati- cally in the years since Polly's work at Liverpool Public Library and since the creation of Free-Net in Cleveland (de- scribed by Arlene Sievers).

     summary: Beginning in 1989 and running through 1990, the authors first held dis- cussions with women faculty at eight library schools in various regions of the United States, conducted telephone in- terviews with one hundred women (out of the 236 full-time female faculty in ac- credited U.S. library schools and pro- grams), and presented preliminary findings at the 1990 annual conference of ALISE (Association for Library and Information Science Education) in Chicago. Carefully and conscientiously, the authors document from their sample the benefits many women faculty have de- rived from mentoring and being men- tored.

     summary: Patron online catalog searches can be characterized as quite brief, employing relatively few strategies, and rarely us- ing advanced searching options for lim- iting and expanding the search. This suggests that at San Jose, asking a librarian does not seem to en- able patrons (who are perhaps less well prepared to search on their own) to be more successful in finding materials than catalog users who do not ask for reference assistance.

We attempted to assess the extent to which committee work contributes to this per- ception, Our respondents' perceptions were assessed through a series of state- ments about the personal benefits of committee work.

     summary: These include an ambiguity of Internet effects and incommensurable differences between the print and elec- tronic forms of communication. An ambiguity of Internet effects-func- tions (advantages) being inseparable from dysfunctions (disadvantages)-is readily apparent to anyone who has joined a few electronic groups: .To inhibit the flow of useless junk is to risk the loss of one of the most valuable impacts of computer-medi- ated communication systems-the flow of potentially useful information and ideas among persons with no pre- vious or off-line communication links.1 Bound up with that dilemma is a law of diminishing returns: the more infor- mation accessed, the less its overall meaning.

      flesch: 46
     summary: Career identity was higher at mid-career and lower at both early and late career stages. If librarians in late career tend toward emotional detachment from the job, it is predicted that the relationship between age and career identity will be curvilin- ear, shaped in the form of an inverted U. As workers deviate from the highly pro- ductive middle phase of their careers, they will become less involved and less attached to the values of their profes- sion.

If databases are ac- cessed over the Internet, telecommuni- cation charges are negligible.

      flesch: 57
     summary: The essays are ostensibly tied together by a preface and an epi- logue, which obliquely suggest what may be the author's taking-off point: Chartier's restating of the complex, subtle, shifting relationships between books and their readers in earlier times as a paradigm for his uneasy coming to terms with the world of electronic texts. In the essays, originally published in French in 1992, Chartier questions, elu- cidates, and theorizes about ideas put forth by himself and others on such sub- jects as the relationships between text, print, and reader; changing perceptions of the connection between author and text, literary property, and censorship; and the various meanings of library (bib- · liotheque) as space, compilation/ conden- sation, or book catalog.

     summary: Because this process and its results are so important for the membership of ACRL, I want to describe briefly the level of involvement of the membership, the techniques that have been used to gather information and feedback from ACRL members and leaders, and to give you a sense of the documents as they currently stand. In addition tore- sponding to the membership survey of 1992 (a sample-not the entire member- ship-was surveyed), these sessions have identified key ACRL values, oppor- tunities, and threats; they have focused on issues of communication, member services, and the role of ACRL in the national higher education community; they have identified diversity and the 11graying of academic librarianship as human resources issues of concern to the association on behalf of its membership.

       title: The Opportunity Costs of Faculty Status for Academic Librarians
        date: 1995
       words: 3851
      flesch: 57
     summary: Faculty status is a dummy variable that takes on the value of 1 when the library has faculty status and 0 otherwise. Just as the cost of faculty status for library faculty should include the cost of hiring replacements, so should the cost of teaching faculty.

     summary: College and Research Libraries Requirements for the Digital Research Library Peter S. Graham A digital research library (DRL) is a collection of electronic information organized for use in the long term. Similarly, the expensive products of recent valuable digitizing demonstra- tion projects, from microfilm to digital form and vice versa, will be at risk after only a few years if tools and commit- ments are not in place for the preserva- tion of what has been achieved.3 Most important, the ability of the scholarly community to give serious weight to electronic information de- pends upon their trust in such informa- tion being dependably available, with authenticity and integrity maintained.

     summary: It is this latter finding that really controls the first two, for teaching faculty really do not hold the expectation about student library use that librarians do. Study after study from the 1960s onward has indicated that there is no reliable correlation between library use and academic achievement; that a rela- tively small proportion of library users usually account for a disproportionately high amount of a library's circulation; and that student library use is most often driven by faculty demand.

     summary: A search of the literature reveals only two large-scale but specialized studies of censorship in college libraries: the exami- nation of censorship in Canadian prairie province academic libraries in the early 1980s by Alvin M. Schrader, Margaret Herring, and Catriona De Scossa pub- lished in 1989; and Craighton Hippen- hammer' s 1993 survey of Christian col- lege libraries in the United States and Canada. Comparison between their findings and the results of the present study will demonstrate a steady and constant rate of censorship in college libraries of the United States.

     summary: College and Research Libraries Research Notes An Approach to Assessing Faculty Use of Locally Loaded Databases Joan B. Fiscella and Edward Proctor A survey was used to study faculty use of, preferences for, and satisfac- tion with either the SPIRES/Prism or the BAS MENTOR interfaces for locally loaded Educational Resources Information Center (ERIC). The findings showed no significant difference in faculty preferences for one or the other interface; however, faculty use of locally loaded databases was associated with having a campus computer account.

A final essay, actually the last of the critical pieces to appear in Serrai' s journal, offers a bitter last word that re- flects profound demoralization with the state of Italian libraries in general and with what the author sees as a mindless turn toward computopia.

     summary: It has been sug- gested that an area that needs further study is the behavioral aspect of reference service, i.e., the interaction between reference librarian and patron. If it is true that library users are ... al- most invariably satisfied with reference service (and what is wrong with that?), it still is worth looking at why.14 There are probably those who would be tempted to discount the results of a survey that shows a 99 percent satisfac- tion rate with reference librarians, espe- cially a survey such as this which is based on evaluation of the librarians by the pa- trons themselves.

From previ- ous research, such as those examples mentioned in the literature review, the authors know that librarians who pub- lish in library science journals tend to cite library literature.

        date: 1996
       words: 5894
      flesch: 48
     summary: Given ACRL' s desire to encourage college administrators to treat academic library faculty equally to com- parably ranked faculty in other disciplines, this finding suggests that the reward struc- ture for research activities may not be in place to support the promotion provisions of the Standards. Previous studies have found that wages in the academic setting are, in gen- eral, significantly determined by such in- stitutional factors as intellectual activities, job performance, experience, and admin- istrative responsibilities.3-10 However, ear- lier studies focused attention primarily on traditional academic faculty, thus the role that these factors play in determin- ing the earnings of library faculty is un- clear as rewards for factor endowments are often market specific.

     summary: Charles Newman asserts that the posi- tion of academic library director as we know it today is quickly becoming ex- tinct, a fact borne out by the number of library deans and directors who have re- cently been appointed as heads of infor- mation units overseeing computing cen- ters, telecommunications, and even the university press, in addition to the library. This ambitious volume calls upon a cadre of international specialists, ranging from scholars to practitioners, to inform the reader about the past and future status of book publishing.

     summary: This book, which publishes the papers presented at the 1994 Clinic on Library Applications of Data Processing, focuses on fairly recent developments in the area of electronic texts. Susan Hockey offers a succinct histori- cal overview of electronic texts in the humanities since the 1940s, emphasizing the necessity of descriptive markup that recognizes the structural components of texts and demonstrating the ways in which some of the lessons learned have been applied to digital imaging.

     summary: A four-page con- cluding chapter abruptly suggests that the force of new information technologies will make librarians redefine their work; that the term librarian has become anach- ronistic; and that what may be needed is a new type of information professional who is expert in the new information technologies and educated in a new sort of professional school of information studies or communication and informa- tion systems, which would result from library education joining forces with edu- cators in (unspecified) information and communication fields. Many books on library issues these days are obsolete before they appear in print.

Another kind of missionary zeal char- acterizes Women, Information, and the Fu- ture: to empower women by organizing and disseminating information on legal rights, health, employment, politics, and the environment.

     summary: Chris Avery and Kevin Ketchner Several members of the Education for Bibliographic Instruction Commit- tee (ACRL Instruction Section) conducted a pilot project to investigate the perceived importance of library instruction skills to employers, and whether instruction experience or coursework is important in getting a job for which library instruction is a stated responsibility. In thinking about ways to encourage the teaching of library instruction skills in library schools, com- mittee members realized that investigat- ing attitudes of employers toward library instruction might yield data lending fur- ther support to the idea of formal educa- tion in library instruction for library school· students.

     summary: These results suggest that the degree of demand for librarians with computer skills has little to do with the size of a library. The results validate the first contention of the third hypothesis-that possession of computer skills is of greater importance in certain types of positions than in oth- ers -and demonstrated that despite the increased demand for computer-related skills in all types of positions, differences in the degree of desirability among vari- ous positions remained significant over these years.

     summary: The study explored several of the activities that librarians em- ployed to build bridges to classroom faculty members, and it also sur- • veyed faculty members' perceptions of library efforts to provide service. ., s components of larger institu- tions, academic libraries face increasing pressures to provide services that will support the instructional and research mission of their parent institutions. On college campuses, librarians share objectives with the faculty such as pro- viding students with knowledge and skills that will serve them long after graduation, but boundaries between li- brarians and faculty members exist in the form of differing tasks and outputs.

        date: 1996
       words: 3112
      flesch: 46
     summary: 7-9 Recent literature focuses on the stress placed on library directors as a result of their middle-management status, but there is another factor that relates to stress: the presence or absence of faculty status for professional library staff mem- bers. The findings were that there did, in fact, seem to be a positive rela- tionship between job satisfaction and faculty status.

     summary: The assumed yet unproven correlation between existing collections and current receipts may be weakening. Brief tests (and their emerging quanti- tative cousins) rely on holdings counts to both categorize the titles that comprise each test and then rank each library's col- lection.

     summary: Since we know so little as yet about the ways in which the Internet, electronic reference tools, or ex- pert systems will affect the reference trans- action and its assessment, it seems prema- ture to assume that what has been tested and used effectively in a paper-based world will be entirely valid and usefulas is or with minimal change in the emerg- ing electronic and networked world. The fifteen chapters cover the full array of reference service components, for example, library users and reference pa- trons, reference environment, electronic databases and reference assistance, refer- ence training, costs and outcomes, and reference effectiveness.

The remaining three chapters focus on the three types of search services: virtual libraries, Internet directories, and search tools.

Wilson's contributed paper, The Future of Research in Our Field, illustrates his continued interest in the development of information studies.

After the Revolution it was nurtured and shaped by Washing- ton, Adams, Jefferson, Madison, and oth- ers, although early American leaders dif- fered on how the citizenry should be- come educated and informed, and were ambivalent about the role of the common people in the new republic.

And most of us, I suspect, would like to be part of a higher education that effectively teaches and improves nonacademic writing.

       title: Theories of the Information Society (Book Review)
        date: 1996
       words: 1951
      flesch: 52
     summary: Herbert Schiller's critique of the domi- nance of market criteria and corporate self-interest in information development, and of class inequalities in access to in- formation, gets a very sympathetic ex- position. In Webster's view, the accounts of postindustrial society, postmodernism, and the information city (actually the in- formation mode of development that figures in Castells's theory) support the idea of a new type of society resulting from information developments, where- as others, especially Schiller, Giddens, and Habermas, favor the claim that there has been no sharp break but, rather, de- velopment continuous with the past.

     summary: (ISBN 0-918006-77-5.) Authored by Stanley J. Wilder, assistant dean for technical and financial services at Louisiana State University Libraries, the purpose of the report is to: (1) corn- pare the age demographics of academic librarians to the age demographics of members of comparable professions, (2) examine the dramatic increase in age of librarians between 1990 and 1994, and (3) project the retirement rates of academic li- brarians over the next twenty-five years. Additionally, the author wanted to explore the possible explanations for, and impli- cations of, his discovery that academic li- brarians tend to be older than their coun- terparts in comparable professions.

     summary: For these reasons, the author hesitated a long time before writing about the fate of German cultural property transported to the Soviet Union by the Red Army in the years 1945 to 1948. No one in Germany denies the destruction that German troops wreaked on the Russian cultural landscape dur- ing World War II, but the Soviet Union's removal of German cultural property must come to light as well.

     summary: November 1996 • Because online searching has been powerful in discovering work of interest for scholars in other disciplines, give par- ticular attention to providing interdisci- plinary information in online searching for humanities scholars. • Look to acquire reference materials in CD-ROM or other automated forms that show a sensitivity to the unique charac- teristics of humanities scholars and schol- arship, specifically, that provide indexing sensitive to the typical kinds of facets of interest to scholars, that have very user- friendly interfaces, and that contain re- sources with historical and geographical depth.

The primary goal of this article is to produce an understandable framework of the issues and challenges facing li- brarians as they consider implementing e-text projects.

        date: 1996
       words: 4186
      flesch: 55
     summary: The fundamental steps in cocitation are the selection of documents or authors for analysis; retrieval of cocitation frequencies, usually by searching the Science Citation Index (SCI) or the Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI); compilation of a raw cocitation matrix; conversion of the raw data matrix to a correlation matrix; analysis of the correla- tion matrix through nonrnetric multidimen- sional scaling (MDS); and finally, interpre- tation and validation of the results.4 Some of the problems inherent in coci- tation studies are similar to those in other ci- tation methodologies, such as a lack of con- sistency in name authority of cited authors and selection of prominent documents or authors within a given field. Figure 1 presents a two-dimensional map of cocited author positions in rela- tion to other authors in the study.

     summary: He cau- tions that RSI is not to be taken lightly and that CTS is costly, thus prevention is far better and cheaper than the cure.9 In 1990, James M. Kusack surveyed fifty-eight large public libraries to find out whether public library employees were affected with CTS as much as news- paper or telephone company employees were.10 Of the thirty-eight libraries re- sponding to his survey, seventeen re- ported one or more employees with CTS (one of which reported nine cases) and twenty-one said they were unaware of any injured employees in their libraries. A further implication of the study is that other library tasks, including the handling of materials, photocopying, and outside activities may contribute to CTS.

Few would find fault with the statement that begins Dan Lacy’s latest book on communications and society: “the pat- terns of skills and technologies with which humans have been able to com- municate have profoundly affected the societies in which they have lived.”

     summary: User Needs to Become More Effective Searcher When users were asked �What more do you need to know to help you become more effective at searching CD-ROMs?� student responses were rank-ordered as �How to develop a search strategy,� �How to choose the right CD-ROM da- tabase,� �How to use the various soft- ware interfaces,� and �How to limit search� (see table 6). The responses from the five- point confidence scale were collapsed into the following three categories so that a two-way contingency table using this variable would have no expected fre- quency below five for any cell: �Less Confident� combined responses one and two; �Moderately Confident� represents response three; and �More Confident� combined responses four and five.15 Prior to gathering these data, the investigators set their alpha level to .05 to reduce the probability of a Type I error.

     summary: Major features of the model include a technology index, subunit power variables, environmental vari- ables, and bases of power variables (structure, coping with uncertainty, centrality, and substitutability). For the independent variables (i.e., the bases of power variables), the highest loadings for the first canonical variate were change in the number of professionals (.60) and change in the number of other staff members (.92), showing a strong relationship between the change in the number of profession- als and the change in the number of other staff members variables with the overall change in staff power variable.

     summary: It should be noted that there are many variations in the job titles of these people, including head of library systems, auto- mated systems coordinator, library sys- tems manager, and director of systems.5 In addition, it is true that not all of these individuals are librarians, although sur- veys taken in the past few years indicate that the majority are trained as librarians.6 A Model and a Beginning A simple stage model is used here only to help organize and conceptualize the evolution of the systems librarian role. It also is important to note that there are many individual variations on the evolution of systems librarians, as academic libraries differ widely in size and organization and in their current level of automation.

     summary: James J. O’Donnell (“The Prag- matics of the New: Trithemius, McLuhan, Cassiodorus”) iden- tifies three periods of crisis: (1) late antiquity, when the authority of writ- ten texts was established; (2) the fif- teenth century, a period of considerable resistance to printed books; and (3) the age of Marshall McLuhan’s prophecies about the medium and the message. Carla Hess (“Books in Time”) uses ex- amples from eighteenth-century France to prove that modern literary culture was not the inevitable result of the in- vention of printing but, rather, the con- sequence of social and political choices.

A chapter on higher education in Chile by Figueroa and Valle is less insightful because it becomes entangled in a discussion of academic decentrali- zation in a world of political centraliza- tion.

     summary: Peter Senge places a large amount of attention on the role of innovation in learning organizations. This type of organization recognizes that continuous improvement requires a demonstrated commitment to learn- ing.1 The concept of the academic library as a learning organization is not new; library staff have depended on one an- other and the collective learning envi- ronment of the library and its closely associated constituencies for many years.

There are some problems, which are discussed in detail, with the popularly held notions of library users as customers and of library services as commodities.

     summary: John Agada is an Assistant Professor in the School of Library and Information Science at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee; e-mail: agada@csd.uwm.edu. 338 College & Research Libraries July 1997 This article discusses the predicament posed to librarians by the trend to outsource corporate information services. According to an agent of a corporation using nonlibrarian outsourcers, �What was so critical to us was that they would be aware of and were participating in the management of the whole informa- tion lifecycle� of the corporation.10 How can corporate librarians reposition their services to be competitive in the face of such a chal- lenge? Information Counseling and the Outsourcing Challenge to Corporate Librarianship John Agada The outsourcing of information services challenges corporate libraries to shift their focus toward those services that are not readily “outsourcable.”

     summary: This ar- ticle examines survey responses to conclude that factors blocking the advancement of women library directors include deprivation behavior or antimentoring, which supports a glass ceiling. Once all librarians feel that they have a fair and equal chance to advance based upon their abilities and potential, notwithstanding their gender, more women will work to- ward, and apply for, top administrative vacancies.8 Survey 2: 135 Women Directors The second survey was intended to seek career factors that women directors had found most valuable in their advance- ment�factors that would be the reverse of deprivation and the glass ceiling.

Part three of this study reports on the collecting patterns of North Ameri- can research libraries and provides summaries of the separate surveys of area studies collections prepared by the area studies library committees.

     summary: The essays following those of Mont- gomery and Lewontin illustrate the manner in which Cold War influence on the production of knowledge through the elaboration, justification, and mys- tification of Cold War ideology at uni- versities wormed its way through the academic disciplines. Three essays, those of David Mont- gomery (Yale), R. C. Lewontin (Harvard), and Noam Chomsky (M.I.T.), describe the forces that generated a climate in which the prevailing Cold War ideology shaped the development of academic departments, curriculum, re- search priorities, and the hiring (and fir- ing!) of faculty.

     summary: The author reminds readers that the present curriculum that critics of today lament was denounced as trivial and anti-intellectual in the past; that the Western Civilization requirement which many regard as the heart and soul of the curriculum did not come into being until a government program instituted it after World War I to ensure that American values were being taught; and that the recent debate over the American-centered literary canon is unfortunately dominated by an un- founded fear that the canon is finite, and to add (e.g., ethnic and gender studies) to it would mean the elimination of something else. The Adman in the Parlor may be read for fun and profit by any librarian who makes purchases, reads magazines, or thinks about American culture.

Perhaps more so than in other depart- ments, library department heads seldom have exercised the above responsibilities fully.

     summary: The survey findings present impor- tant information for libraries that currently host residency programs or are considering implementing new residency programs in the future, as well as for library educators. Findings and Implications Libraries use a variety of recruitment methods to a�ract new professionals to residency programs, including traditional employment tools such as position an- nouncements in professional publica- tions, as well as brochures distributed to graduate library education programs.

     summary: Although there is some variation in its suggested content, there is agreement that a résumé is an important component of the application for academic library openings.12 Despite a�empts to guide individuals to the appropriate construction and con- tent of a résumé, the authors do not know whether academic library applicants actually consult such resources when pre- paring an application. In an a�empt to survey librarians who are rela- tively new to the profession (whom the authors defined as those who have held professional academic library positions for five years or less), people with obvi- ous administrative appointments such as deans, directors, assistant directors or deans, department heads, etc., were eliminated from consideration.

     summary: This corresponds to numerous studies which have shown that workers across a variety of occupations o�en pre- fer to use sources that are close at hand (referred to informally as the “arm’s- length rule”), even though there may be be�er sources available elsewhere.1 Libraries do not figure very promi- nently as information sources for univer- sity professional staff. The question that then arises is how to make them aware of the library system’s resources (including both mate- rials and personnel) at the time they are engaged in intensive research and writing and do need to make use of a wider range of information sources.

     summary: Admittedly, the ability to access Internet “knowl- edge” (or more to the point, to differen- tiate between online trash and treasure) may make some slight contribution to career success in the years to come, but the strategic value of Internet access surely pales before the real determi- nants of class differentiation in Western society (class, race, and differential ac- cess to high-quality education). Sardar’s argument is likely to find its most welcome reception among fundamental- ist and totalitarian third-world regimes, considering their palpable fear that Internet connectivity will undermine to- talitarian control.

Books cannot and should not have to compete with chip-powered imple- ments.”

     summary: In short, this was one of the most success­ ful assignments the instructor had given in twelve years of teaching and perhaps the librarian’s most successful engage­ ment with students as a reference librar­ ian: Students became critical readers and thinkers, and had learned some essential tools of academic research. Revising the goals for the listserv helped the authors to create an assign­ ment that was workable for students, in­ structor, and librarian alike, one that re­ sulted in successful research and report­ ing for most students.

     summary: The articles are grouped into six main themes: the role of informa­ tion in economically developing societ­ ies; information-sharing through human resource networks; information and problem-solving; information policies; information education and training; and transnational corporations and Third World information flows. It is re­ freshing to read work that declines to use the clichéd assumptions and reli­ gious fervor typical of so much writing on information technology.

     summary: Editor Lawrence Dowler, associate li­ brarian of Harvard College for Public Ser­ vices, uses the concept of gateway to elaborate on the changes that the col­ leges library system needs to address as it prepares for library services into the next century. This status-based system has been challenged by an increase in inter­ disciplinary scholarship, the develop­ ment of a core curriculum, and the rise of networked information systems.

     summary: According to the authors, the potential utility of compar­ ing collection purchases with collection usage, departmental profiles, and stu­ dent course enrollment has been little ex­ plored, in part because “many libraries seem unconvinced of the value of the data.” Continued budgetary stringency in many libraries, combined with the need to look for ways to compress or move some library collections to storage, make this an extremely valuable chapter.

     summary: Roughly 80 percent of science serials have a cost per use in the hundreds of dollars, so it would be eco­ nomically rational to cancel the greater part of the science collection.12 For a balanced outcome, the low-use criterion comes into play—and that turns the analysis around, with about 20 percent of the science col­ lection then being targeted. average for low- use, high-cost-per­ use titles ($537) or the subset of ex­ tremely low-use titles ($605).13 With nearly 300 titles in this pool of poten­ tial cost savings, the library could well afford to let the academic de­ partments pick and majority of science serials conceivably could be cut on strictly economic grounds.

Rubens The ACRL Women’s Studies Section Technical Services Committee in­ vestigated the assignment of subject headings to core works in women’s studies. More than one au­ thor has pointed out sexist language and limited concepts reflected in the LCSH.1 Sanford Berman’s book on LC subject headings for people documents sexism throughout LCSH; Joan K. Marshall’s On Equal Terms documented extensive prob­ lems with subject headings about women.2–3 According to Judith Hudson and Victoria A. Mills, ALCSH reflects a white male bias in its representation of the world: Men are the norm and women, the exception.

     summary: Patents theoretically encourage public disclo­ sure of novel information in exchange for a limited monopoly (fair or exces­ sive) on specific product designs. Exclu­ sive of adequate patents, free markets would tend to overproduce redundancy and underproduce novelty precisely because trade secrecy impedes the free flow of ideas from which subse­ quent innovations derive.

Drawing on a wealth of sources, Kaser begins with some background in­ formation about the earliest means of housing college library collections (a bedroom in the house of the University of North Carolina’s president is one of the more intriguing) and then traces the development of academic library build­ ings from 1840, when the first academic library building was opened at South Carolina College (now the University of South Carolina), to the present.

The learning organization model has origins of its own in other threads of the literature for the management of change.18 Chris Argyris and Donald Schon say the process of organizational learning occurs “when members of the organization act as learning agents for the organization, re­ sponding to changes in the internal and external environments of the organization by detecting and correcting errors. . .

     summary: It should be noted that in this context there is no difference between what once might have been considered special collections objects and other more ephemeral items, whether temporary Web pages, e-journal articles, “texts” of authors writing in electronic form (perhaps even working texts from disks), or page images of decaying Dead Sea Scroll fragments that will become the primary record. For librar­ ies with important special collections de­ partments, there always have been the tensions between local needs and local funding on the one hand, and national prestige and extramural users on the other.

Although formal methods of support and evaluation of promotion and tenure activities exist in the library, many untenured librarians felt a need for an informal means of shar­ ing the experiences, problems, fears, and triumphs of the tenure process.

     summary: The report exam­ ines how library services are provided and how students cope with the lack of services, and provides recommendations for steps to ensure that franchised stu­ dents are not disadvantaged in terms of access to library resources. These three reports from the Centre for Research in Library and Information Management (CERLIM), based at the University of Central Lancashire, present detailed examinations of the design and provision of library services in three dif­ ferent distance learning environments.

Perrault’s examination of changes in ARL library holdings from 1985 to 1989 revealed a definite increase in homogeneity among these libraries.4 Her findings included “a decrease in the percentage of unique titles in many sub­ ject areas, and an increased concentration on core materials.”

     summary: Individual versus the Group Supervising diverse student employees means dealing with different levels and types of work experience as well as asso­ ciated work norms. Before differences create conflict between the supervisor and diverse student employees, or between them, it is good practice to learn about the culture and work norms these stu­ dents have learned previously.29 Evaluating a Diverse Work Force Providing frequent positive reinforce­ ment for desired behavior can be very ef­ fective when it comes to motivating a cul­ turally diverse staff.

     summary: Canadian Film and Video is an extensive work intended to assist in the advance­ ment of Canadian film history and to pro­ mote the study of Canadian film by pro­ viding access to the English and French literature on film and video in Canada during the twentieth century to 1989. The subject index lists topics addressed in the autobiographies and appears to be quite thorough, al­ though, unfortunately, it is an index only to entry numbers so the subject, “Cultural Differences: Anglo and Non Western,” is followed by rows of 197 different num­ bers.

     summary: Spies’s paper, “International Li­ brary Cooperation in the Age of Elec­ tronic Information: Recent Trends and OCLC’s Role,” illustrates how develop­ ments in electronic information reflect changes in the global market and how OCLC reacts to those changes as they impact the “emerging global library com­ munity.” In his paper, “The Future of Electronic Information Services in Libraries,” OCLC’s Rick Noble outlines the recent history of electronic information services, which “began to appear in North Ameri­ can libraries about twenty-five years ago.”

     summary: In charting this spread across Europe, Space between Words gives careful consideration to the addi­ tional graphic cues that allowed medieval readers to read fluidly, rapidly, and si­ lently: capitalization to mark the begin­ nings of certain words; traits d’union (roughly, hyphens) showing the lack of completion of a word at the end of a line; ligatures and “monolexisms” (such as the “&”) that aided the “compaction” of text—all technological devices improving reading efficiency. Of course, separations of texts into word units did not happen by fiat or all at once but, instead, emerged slowly, from the seventh century on, beginning in the Scriptoria of the British Isles and moving gradually eastward and south­ ward through Europe.

     summary: In addition, there is an increasingly widespread feeling that managers of American universities have not ad­ equately protected the prestige and repu­ tation of the university, and this is par­ ticularly so in universities that were closely tied to the military–industrial complex during the Cold War. Eight contributors represent the fields of history, political science, in­ ternational relations, history and philoso­ phy of science, economics, space science, and mass media.

     summary: William Fisher’s “The Value of Profes­ sional Associations” comes to the remark­ able conclusion that “without such asso­ ciations of which they become officers, without professional association confer­ ences at which they attend and/or deliver papers and go to meetings, and without professional association publications of which they become editors, reviewers, and/or authors, library directors would have to devote more of their time to the day-to-day running of their libraries. Also noteworthy is Sue Kamm’s survey of why librarians choose to join associations (for networking, receipt of publications, op­ portunity to contribute to the profession, and so on).

The primary objective of the survey was to determine whether “librarians with faculty status have a greater oppor­ tunity for tenure and promotion than li­ brarians with academic or professional status.”

     summary: Notwith­ standing the ambiguity associated with the unprecedented rate of change occur­ ring in academic libraries, for some inex­ plicable reasons, there is a shortage of transformational library leaders who can formulate a compelling vision and make it happen. If bud­ gets remain insufficient, library leaders will have to find ways to innovate by sub­ stitution (i.e., stop doing certain things to free up resources for more important ini­ tiatives).

     summary: This is an inter- esting finding given that many institutions recently have been moving in a formal way toward this model, with an institutional commit- ment to incorporating information literacy into all programs.16 Al- though there was some support from health sci- ences for a required li- brary research compo- nent for first-year courses, engineering and science faculty were not as keen on this idea. To explore this question, science and engineering faculty at two large Ca- nadian universities were surveyed and interviewed regarding their per- ceptions of their students’ information literacy skills and their own peda- gogical practices related to such skills.

        date: 1999
       words: 4565
      flesch: 55
     summary: Perhaps the sizable standard error was due to the small sample size of reference statistic weeks. Refer­ ence statistics and door counts taken on the sample weeks of the test year were correlated, and the resulting correlation coefficient between the two variables was used to calculate weekly reference statistics for the nonsampled weeks.

     summary: In the case of library reference desk services, the patron is uncertain about whether or how often the services will be desired. Though the authors do not advo­ cate sole dependence on patrons’ valua­ tions of various library services, they do think that the consumer sovereignty prin­ ciple should hold for assessing the value of library reference desk services.

The author may have reason to be pleased with the college’s promotion and tenure document and the “Summary Checklist of Selected Family- Friendly Initiatives and Programs” devel­ oped under her leadership, but they add little to her look at higher education in the twenty-first century.

     summary: Academic librarians who have been left puzzled by encounters with the current generation of college students may well find their experiences described in this study of the 1990s collegiate culture based on surveys conducted between 1992 and 1997 of 270 chief student affairs officers and 9,100 undergraduates, and supple­ mented with on-site interviews of staff and students. In comparing the consumerism of students in the 1970s with that of students in the 1990s, the ear­ lier generation is portrayed as reacting to a general trend toward social institu­ tions—post-Watergate and Ralph Nader—whereas this generation is react­ ing to a sense of separateness from cam­ pus life fostered by competing job com­ mitments and increasing part-time atten­ dance as well as to specific criticisms of higher education.

     summary: The new para­ digm that community colleges are learn­ ing, not teaching, institutions is high­ lighted by a review of the efforts of six community colleges in establishing learn­ ing colleges: Sinclair Community College (Ohio), Jackson Community College (Mich.), Lane Community College (Ore.), College System of Maricopa (Ariz.), Palomar College (Calif.), and Community College of Denver (Colo.). The foreword by K. Patricia Cross, David Pierput Gardner Professor of Higher Education at the Uni­ versity of California, Berkeley, reflects the book’s overall tone in her statement that “this work provides an exciting model for community colleges of the future.”

     summary: Librarians, on the other hand, are eligible for tenure at fewer than half the four-year institutions in America.2 Some of these institutions provide librarians with faculty status, which includes tenure review by one’s peers, and some do not. An earlier analysis reported the impact or the effects of faculty status for librarians on research universities.3 Research appears to receive less emphasis in colleges, perhaps be­ cause of less demand by the outside com­ munity for the associated output prod­ ucts.

     summary: Li­ brarians, and some faculty, understand the urgency in acquiring these resources: if the institution is to remain competitive with its peers and to attract students and new faculty to the campus, it must be re­ sponsive to rapid changes in scholarly communication. The danger was not only continued faculty ignorance, and hence indifference, to developments on the Web, but inadequate connectivity also jeopardized the university’s ability to at­ tract students, recruit new faculty, and retain current faculty who were becom­ ing more technologically demanding.

The invention of movable type in the fifteenth century made the production and distri­ bution of texts easier, faster, and cheaper, as well as put access to textual culture within the reach of a much larger public.

     summary: Furthermore, the author assumes that the reference process is: (1) goal directed in that inquirer and librarian are both en- gaged in solving or resolving8 an infor- mation problem, and (2) well bounded in that the problem-solution boundaries (i.e., the number of reference questions asked and reference questions answered) are finite.9 In the case of this article, en- larging our circle of knowledge about the system requirements (i.e., into the dimen- sion of the unknown mentioned above) would be aided by the existence of a use- ful model of the reference transaction. In other words, the set of reference questions could be an array or matrix.

        date: 1999
       words: 7249
      flesch: 41
     summary: Many contend that re- quiring academic librarians to divert their energies from their daily duties to meet research expectations is inappropriate. In the 1980s, several sur- veys discovered that the majority of in- stitutions where academic librarians had tenure-track status did not require the li- brarians to show much or any evidence of research and publication.32 At about the same time, John M. Budd and Charles A. Seavey examined the articles pub- lished during 1983–1987 in thirty-six jour- nals that were “national in scope” and found that 384 academic libraries could claim an author of at least one article.33 As Budd and Seavey pointed out, 384 in- stitutions is only 18.3 percent of the four-year institutions of higher learning in the United States.

     summary: The availability of sophisticated com- puter technologies has not yet changed these habits of scholarship, although the technologies have changed the ways in which most scholars create the product of their research, the scholarly monograph.3 Until very recently, the principal em- phasis in research libraries has been on collection development and the tools for accessing the collections. What are the rela- tionships between research libraries and the scholar ’s own libraries?

      flesch: 36
     summary: In 1983, John N. DePew expressed his views on problems gener­ ated by faculty status for librarians: Faculty status is inappropriate for li­ brarians because it creates tensions that obscure the proper role of the li­ brarian, and it interferes with the ef­ fective delivery of library services by diverting librarians’ energies and at­ tentions from those services.1 The Debate Continues The ACRL Academic Status Committee has been quite active in strengthening the con­ cept and practice of granting/maintaining academic status for librarians. Notwithstanding the tremendous growing pressures on academic librarians to meet higher expectations of users, it is my opin­ ion that most librarians with faculty status still firmly believe in the virtues associated with this standing.

     summary: Particularly strong are the sec­ tions on planning space (a must-read for anyone who is in the beginnings of building planning and pro­ gramming—and possibly sev­ eral years away from move-in) and do-it-yourself moves. Major moves are stressful, aggravating, and physically ex­ hausting, but they present the library with a team-building opportunity that is un­ matched by any other project because every employee—regardless of rank—is affected and can be involved.

     summary: The commercialization of educational services once regarded as the intellectual property of their creators, but now coming to be regarded as “works made for hire,” and similar changes in the making are reshaping the nature of higher education. Even with this minor omission, Habich’s book is essential reading for the staff of any academic library that might move into whole new quarters, an addi­ tion, or renovation in the foreseeable fu­ ture.

     summary: Observing that reference collections are the gateway to the rest of the library, Nolan holds that reference collections should contain sources that are reference-formatted, fre­ quently used, authoritative, current, and unique in coverage. He urges librarians to implement collection development policies for reference collections and of­ fers practical advice on the elements of such a policy.

     summary: The tension between practitioners and educators has been in­ tensifying over the past few years as many LIS schools have undergone change, usually in response to pressure from their parent institutions; and it is be­ ing exacerbated by the lack of effective means of communication. Enrollments in LIS schools are high, but many graduates seek jobs as information managers in private indus­ 410 College & Research Libraries September 1999 tries instead of working in traditional li­ braries.

      flesch: 46
     summary: Because pre­ vious studies have shown that most aca­ demic librarians are not required to pub­ lish, Penn State librarians are not seen as being typical of academic librarians, and the findings of this study cannot be gen­ eralized to other colleges or universities. Findings indicate that Penn State librarians are quite productive in terms of the number of publications they contribute to the literature, and they are strongly com­ mitted to research.

     summary: In describing the situation in Ice­ land, Sigrún Klara Hannesdóttir pointed to the rivalry between library education and teacher education programs for con­ trol of the school librarian. The volumes for the Nordic countries, the United States, and the United Kingdom Book Reviews 497 each contain final chapters on the future of library education contributed respec­ tively by Niels Ole Pors, head of the Royal School of Librarianship in Copenhagen; Thomas Galvin, former dean of the School of Library and Information Science at the University of Pittsburgh; and John Feather, former head of the Department of Library and Information Studies at Loughborough University.

     summary: Perhaps other volumes would make a fit­ ting project for several Library Trends is­ sues, which would be the more natural format and, at the institutional subscrip­ tion rate of $75 for four quarterly issues, would be a much more affordable venue for this work. Kors (a professor at the University of Pennsylvania and a central figure in the 1993 “water buffalo” speech code case at his own campus) and Silverglate (a criminal defense and civil rights lawyer in Boston) do make a point about the effi­ cacy of speech codes.

     summary: With user expectations exceed­ ing existing library resources, library managers must manage intelligently and strategically to provide the best services possible to current and future users. For some unknown reasons, al­ though academic libraries have been de­ scribed as being well managed and “underled,” librarians have not talked or written about leadership.

     summary: Several studies performed during the past two decades have indicated that paraprofes­ sional participation in cataloging has been increasing steadily since 1977.3 Two sur­ veys of ARL libraries confirm these find­ ings. For cataloging, the findings indicated that over 90 per­ cent of ARL libraries assign copy catalog­ ing to paraprofessionals, 51 percent assign original description, and 36 percent as­ sign original description, subject analy­ sis, and classification.

     summary: Thumbing through Web Sites Before the development of the graphical user interface (GUI), Internet resources were text files. Rethinking Bibliographic Control We must ask ourselves what we want to see in the future of catalog­ ing and what the acceptable norm of organization for the electronic world is if not cataloging as usual.32 Because Web sites are not like books, it is reasonable to believe that traditional approaches to bibliographic control need to be reevaluated for Internet resources.

     summary: Affirmative action is a loaded term these days. In some instances, the discussion of affirmative action focuses on the wide­ spread discrimination in hiring and pro­ motion practices that it is intended to address, as well as the under-representa­ tion of women and minorities in many professions and in administrative posi­ tions (including those in academic librar­ ies).

     summary: There is a fine account of Jane Maud Campbell’s (1869–1947) career as an ad­ vocate for “the downtrodden,” and a nicely objective discussion of the publi­ cation efforts of John Foster Carr (1869– 1939), who, although not a librarian, had a distinct impact on library work with immigrants. The inter­ action between American public libraries and immigrant communities is, of course, not new; and some of its history may be found in Plummer Alston Jones Jr.’s thoughtful, well-documented new vol­ ume.

In trying to situate his case among oth­ ers, Moran relies on a mix of personal communication, newspaper and schol­ arly articles, and books.

     summary: Access to electronic information is now so ubiquitous in higher education that this past summer an officer of a regional accreditation association sent a letter to academic library directors in his region posing this question: Is a li­ brary an absolute prerequi­ site for a degree-granting institution of higher education, or is it, instead, an in­ dicator of some increasing level of qual­ ity above an accepted minimum? Within the past few months, I have had several commu­ nications with academic library directors whose presidents or deans seek to remove or reduce elements of faculty status for the librarians.

     summary: Each chapter in the book is designed to make library profes­ sionals think about libraries, the types of materials libraries house, and how the materials affect the ways we serve our patrons. As libraries have increasingly added elec­ tronic product subscriptions to their hold­ ings, librarians have had to deal with li­ cense contracts filled with myriad provisions about ownership, access, li­ ability, warranty and governing law, of­ ten expressed in legal terms that are ar­ cane or deceptively straightforward sounding.

     summary: Or put it this way, should a reference librarian give a skinhead a freely available manual for bomb making, or should such information be freely available on a skinhead Web site? The opacity of the surveys and research studies left me wondering why a researcher never directly asked the simple question, Why is it that many women do not seem to like playing around with com­ puters all day?

     summary: Alvin Goldman, professor of philosophy at the University of Arizona, seeks to evaluate social institutions and practices on the basis of how well they increase human knowledge, as opposed to igno­ rance and error. He proceeds to explain in detail the theory of truth that he advocates, and he outlines a framework for employing it in the evaluation of social practices.

     summary: He proceeds to explain in detail the theory of truth that he advocates, and he outlines a framework for employing it in the evaluation of social practices. He then applies the theory to social practices in general, including testimony (the transmission of observed information from one person to others), the technol­ ogy and economics of communication, and speech regulation.

     summary: This is an important warning that a single-minded (and ethnocentric) focus on print culture ignores much that is valued by cultural communities: that which re­ sides outside the realm of print culture or of the reading interests of their members (e.g., in music, stories, and visual and performance-related arts). As this volume indicates, the benefits in applying print cultural studies to the analysis of America’s cultural diversity have yet to be exhausted.

     summary: Gen­ erally speaking, it is practically impossible to offer library services of equal quality to those received on the local campus. Librarians who participate in distance library services for the first time will quickly realize that extra effort is required if high-quality ser­ vice is to be provided to these distance us­ ers.

     summary: The Role Repertory Grid Procedure did yield useful information about the uni­ verse of themes that library patrons use in making judgments about library space. A total of sixty-five respondents, in three separate groups of library patrons at a state university in the Midwest, were asked to respond to a questionnaire con­ cerning their knowledge and impressions of the library space.

     summary: Job dis­ satisfaction, where it exists, seemed to be largely independent of the introduction of new technology.22 In a study of corre­ lation between job satisfaction, job atti­ tudes, and work behavior among staff members in academic libraries in Nige­ ria, Edet E. Nkeuweren supported the proposition that management style and quality of work life affect job satisfaction and that overall job satisfaction is a func­ tion of many needs. This study examines job satisfaction of librarians of African descent employed at academic libraries holding membership in the Association of Research Libraries.

     summary: All of this discourse, from opposite ends of the cultural spectrum, amounts to a late vindication for the “materialists” of book culture, those book historians and artifactualists who have raised a moun­ tain of scholarship to explain how and why books have become precisely what they are today, and to provide students of the book and of book history with the means to describe exactly what they en­ counter when a book is carefully, “ana­ lytically” examined. In the wake of Derridan deconstructionism and especially Gérard Genette’s discov­ ery of “paratexts” (e.g. titles, dust-jacket blurbs, etc.), humanists, too, are seizing with new vigor upon the physicality of books, their various nontextual qualities that serve as coconstituents of meaning in “the complex mediation between book, author, publisher, and reader.”

     summary: Rather than add more layers of experimental services that deplete resources and increase com­ plexity, information service should be reconceived to include new partners in support of the use of technology while undertaking substantially new approaches to on-site and network-based information service. The next generation of academic refer­ ence service must, in fact, broaden and deepen its presence in the network by re­ conceiving the parameters and nature of information service.

Some of the evalua­ tions were articles or presentation papers by individual reviewers, some were com­ mittee or task force reports, some were raw spreadsheets or checklists correlat­ ing criteria and vendors, and a few were combinations of the above.23–26 Only three of the thirty-two evaluations made any mention whatsoever of access to or inte­ gration of library resources as criteria for selection.27, 28

Orga­ nization reflects a happy combination of sustained scholarly attention (“Henry Cotton…”c1813), access to rich resources (“William Smellie and the Printer ’s Role”), and the capacity of the unusual to rivet attention (“Fall of the Hammer: Auc­ tioning of Books in Manchester…”).

     summary: From her journey through archives and libraries from New England to the Carolinas, she has turned up an interesting and occasionally pro­ vocative series of episodes and anecdotes concerning print culture in early America. The principal problem with the book is its apparent lack of familiarity with the formidable body of secondary literature on the book in early America that could have given Williams’s doctoral disserta­ tion perspective, context, and an argu­ ment.

     summary: James L. Terry’s study of authorship in C&RL reveals the notable increase in collaborative articles (see table 1).18 A more comprehensive study by Anne C. Weller, Julie M. Hurd, and Stephen E. Wiberley Jr. found that 45 percent of articles by U.S. academic librarians and deans in thirty-two peer-reviewed journals between 1993 and 1997 had two or more authors.19 Collaboration and Publication Acceptance Because journals are publishing increasing numbers of collaborative articles, these articles have a greater chance of being ac­ cepted for publication. This is less of an increase in collaborative articles than Terry’s article found, but the dis­ crepancy results from the definition of article used for this study.

     summary: rticles on sci-tech librarians fre­ quently focus on the shortage of librarians for sci-tech posi­ tions who actually have some type of science background. A 1985 survey of science librarians found that although only 32 percent had degrees in sci-tech areas, 51 percent had some colle­ giate science training.6 When hiring for sci-tech library posi­ tions, studies show that organizations feel that “it is probably wiser to hire an appli­ cant with the desired science academic background than one without this quali­ fication.”7

     summary: Transition is a key concept in their ap­ proach and may serve to ease the anxi­ eties of those educators who wonder where distance learning fits in with what they already do, how it impacts them, and how (or whether) to get started. In addition to useful ideas for course design and media selection, the book alerts read­ ers to important questions to ask about an organization’s capacity for, and level of commitment to, distance learning.

     summary: Within the library field, information on issues pertaining to library service and use in distance learning can be obtained through the Journal of Library Services for Distance Education (http://www.westga.edu/~li­ brary/jlsde/), as well as the January 2000 issue of the Journal of Academic Librarianship. Tom McNulty; re­ viewed in C&RL 61:3), published in 1999 by ACRL, covers similar ground in terms of adaptive technology, Web access, and staff training, within the wider context of providing physical access to libraries and library services to the disabled.

     summary: The authors offer no “utopian fantasies”; instead, they assume a world where print and paper will exist but argue that infor­ mation technology will be the core tech­ nology in the library’s future. It would appear that plagiarism is cur­ rently something of a growth industry; as access to electronic databases, convention-flaunting ‘zines on the Web, and academic writing centers have been added to older opportunities such as “term paper mills,” fraternity houses’ caches of previously submitted papers, and “research assistance” providers.

     summary: Librarians must begin to deliver added value, rethink our access tools, develop intelligent databases, and redesign our organizations. In the early chapters, they build a case for why we must change our ways: Li­ brarians do not evaluate services; we lack a user focus and do not understand (nor care) how people use libraries; we believe too often that size determines quality; we engage only in incremental change and ignore long-range planning; and we do not address the issue of library nonuse by faculty and graduate students.

The rationale for organizational efforts related to diversity efforts often is based on the important consideration of serv­ ing the increasingly diverse population, as well as past inequities and current un­ fairness.

     summary: The expectation that e-journal usage at OSU would increase during the three- year study was found to be true for both faculty and graduate students. While e-journal usage was increasing, there was an accompanying decrease in the use of printed journals, which brought usage levels for the two formats much closer together.

     summary: Second, even assuming that the selection of resources for inclusion in the indexes introduced error, the nature of the one-year increase in electronic resource usage is so large (137.2% increase) that even a signifi­ cant reduction would not erase the obvi­ ous advantage of electronic over print. The rapid growth in electronic usage gives a clear indication that patrons at the Cushing/Whitney Medical Library are eager to use textbooks and journals in electronic formats.

On the UC-Berkeley campus, initial ef­ forts to assess information literacy skills of undergraduates have been conducted on a periodic and special project basis by a half-time user research coordinator cur­ rently employed in the Teaching Library.

     summary: Another factor here is that as work becomes more information intensive, the problems of gathering and distributing information tend to be largely performed electronically, but the problem of absorb­ ing all the new information is a social and January 2001 human problem, not an electronic or me­ chanical one. In looking at economic growth in three distinct periods beginning in 1948 and ending in about 1998, a nice, round fifty-year period, analysts have noted that investments in information technology and productivity appear to be related in­ versely and not directly, as we might ex­ pect.

     summary: In some­ thing of a perverted Wisconsin Plan, the authors of these papers move further in the direction of “corporate specific” with the argument that the eroding support of public higher education, coupled with the willingness of corporations to pay well for education and training directed to­ ward their own concerns, represents a sig­ nificant opportunity for public universi­ ties to realize a social mandate and to en­ sure financial security. Financing, espe­ cially, seems to be a point on which the contributors agree—it is the major growth sector in higher education and a potential source of wealth for institutions capable of directing their efforts to take advantage of an evolving market.

Cottam documented the shift in roles, functions, and activities from predomi­ nantly internal affairs to an increasing emphasis on external ones. Finally, library directors, it was noted by the senior management team (pretest interview, site A), have a skill set different from most deans.

     summary: The LibQUAL+ diagnostic tool, a product of the ARL’s New Measures Initiative, shows that although a single factor dominates user thinking about library service quality, all of the items used in the survey suffuse this factor. The results mean that ongoing efforts to evaluate library service quality would do well to invoke both levels of characteriz­ ing service.

     summary: James Conaway’s history of the Library of Congress focuses on the thirteen Li­ brarians of Congress who have served our national library for the past two hun­ dred years. Under legislation signed by Presi­ dent Ulysses S. Grant in 1870, the Library of Congress became the sole depository for copyrighted works, a role previously shared with the Smithsonian.

     summary: Although they retain the tra­ ditional features of print narratives (goal-seeking, conflict and uncertainty, and the anticipation of outcomes), they require more scripting, more writing, more dialogue, more work—all in order to free the reader to explore possibilities as they cannot in print. The “Interactive Narrative Timeline” prefacing the text challenged me in a different way: Did I agree with Dou­ glas that Laurence Sterne’s Tristram Shandy (1759), Joyce’s Ulysses (1914), and Ford Madox Ford’s The Good Soldier (1915) were interactive narratives in the same family as Michael Joyce’s afternoon (1990) and Geoff Ryman’s 253 (1996)?

Regard­ less, the lack of time issue is real among academic library directors, who today spend an unprecedented amount of time on business-type issues that library direc­ tors formerly did not have to perform (e.g., fund-raising).

     summary: However, academic libraries generally do not col­ lect such material, and if they do, they often discard it when its circulation slows or when it stops mirroring the practices of public libraries. Because these works are a reflection of the time and culture in which they were pro­ duced, they also can be an important re­ source for academic libraries.

     summary: Further, it demonstrated that specific guidelines must be created for electronic pathfinders because they pose particular problems that are not addressed in the current literature about pathfinders in general. For example, Mount Allison (ranked first in the prima­ rily undergraduate category) did not have electronic pathfinders referring to more than electronic resources, and so the schools ranking second, third, and fourth were included.

     summary: There is also a presumption that electronic access will mean added value to library patrons, but it begs the question if the access is at a cost patrons are unwilling to pay.11 Indeed, academic librarians and pa­ trons must carefully weigh the benefit versus the cost of electronic resources. Because digitiza­ tion and electronic access is relatively new, it is often seen to be “better” than traditional formats such as newspapers or books.

     summary: Librarians and teaching faculty can improve acceptance of Web projects only when submitting external re­ views of their work to the evaluators. reative Web projects present complex and increasingly im­ portant challenges in the per­ formance review process. With these findings, the authors called the concern over acceptance a “non-issue” and credited it to the merit criteria of peer review, which is applicable in both print and electronic mediums.1 A subsequent survey of business faculty supported this conclusion.2 Unlike ar­ ticles in e-journals, Web projects are rarely peer reviewed, and the issue of accep­ tance remains very real.

     summary: The article concludes with a description of an analytical tool that may be used to assess journal prices. Economic Theory and Model To analyze the effects of electronic avail­ ability on journal price, a straightforward model was established that applied ordi­ nary least squares (OLS) regression on cross-sectional data similar to analyses reported by others.3 Earlier models typi­ cally regressed price on a number of vari­ ables to distinguish the statistical rel­ evance of publisher type in determining price.4 Not only do these studies confirm librarians’ belief that certain publishers practice price discrimination, but they also show that periodical prices are driven by other factors, as well.

     summary: Finally, Cullen urges librarians, publish­ ers, and authors to push forward to find methods to mark digital works with iden­ tifiers that will prove authorship. Arms correctly points out that many people who grew up with the Internet believe they have “discovered” online information systems and are com­ pletely unaware that the concepts form­ ing the basis of digital libraries were long ago researched and developed by the li­ brary community.

     summary: Although there is an inevitable air of boosterism about this work, Douglass’s arguments concerning the unique ap­ proach to public higher education taken in California during the past century are persuasive. This study answers a number of questions about how California has gotten to its present point in the provi­ sion of public higher education.

     summary: From the acknowledgments at the very beginning of his new book, John Willinsky’s view of public knowledge is evident. It is an obvious thesis at first glance, as Willinsky argues relentlessly, if not repetitively, for the im­ portance of public knowledge of research produced by social scientists.

     summary: Recently, several reports of benchmarking studies in academic libraries have been published that look at service measurements such as wait times and Web site usage.10–12 Suzanne H. Angel and Leslie G. Mackler described a benchmarking survey of hospital libraries that examined a range of library services, including reference performance.13 How­ ever, the libraries that Angel and Mackler studied did not use a standardized means of determining patron satisfaction, so it is unclear how comparable their results were. robbins.p65 348 College & Research Libraries July 2001 Benchmarking Reference Desk Service in Academic Health Science Libraries: A Preliminary Survey Kathryn Robbins and Kathleen Daniels This preliminary study was designed to benchmark patron perceptions of reference desk services at academic health science libraries, using a standard questionnaire.

     summary: John D’Angelo and Sherry K.

The authors concluded that library Web sites fail to take into account how people approach the information problem and often reflect traditional library structures.

     summary: This re­ structuring of LIS education has been met with misgivings by many in the profes­ sion, resulting in a sharply defined differ­ ence of opinion between some practitio­ ners and educators about what LIS schools should be doing to prepare librarians of the future. This section of the book provides a good description of LIS education in various parts of the world but falls short in pro­ viding strategies for improving education for the future.

There cannot be many of us who like what went on during the assassination of Berkeley’s library school, think “the information superhigh­ way” a useful metaphor, or approve of most library “outsourcing.”

     summary: In their analysis on staffing cost, Susan L. Tsui and Carol F. Hinders con­ cluded that the cost for the total manual exporting authority records from OCLC, for staff time of reviewing and loading appropriate authority records, and for manual review of the existing authority records is more than having a vendor ser­ vice that “provides automatic machine correction of bibliographic records and supplies authority records with their re­ vised forms, leaving the library only the complicated database maintenance of its manual review and correction.”15 3. The presence of the large number of authority records: When the library con­ tracted an authority control vendor to re­ view and update headings for all biblio­ graphic records in November 1999, the vendor also provided the library with 650,000 authority records.

Juran discussed the phenomenon by which a small percentage of elements (the vital few) accounted for a large portion of an effect.16 Juran’s Vital Few principle was introduced to the library literature by Richard L. Trueswell in 1969, who demonstrated that often 80 percent of library use is satisfied by 20 percent of materials.17

Without completely denying the use­ fulness of computing for certain purposes, Bowers argues that computers threaten to dominate the entire world, imposing a monoculture on the planet and driving out traditional cultures that live more spiritually and harmoniously within the natural environment.

In this chapter, Richard Gartner discusses the importance of standards, and his argument for XML as perhaps the best standard for Web publishing might well become required reading for any librarian interested in creating Web-accessible da­ tabases.

     summary: Elisabeth S. Leedham-Green, formerly deputy keeper of the Cambridge Univer­ sity Archives, in her essay, “Booksellers and Libraries in Sixteenth-Century Cam­ bridge,” clearly documents that libraries had to rely on gifts and bequests for their accessions and that it was not until the seventeenth century that most college li­ braries set about selecting books for pur­ chase.

     summary: He describes how new books would be selected for publication with popular ones often subsidizing short-runs of the more esoteric, and so long as the firm was in the black financially, nobody worried if it took twenty years to sell only 1,500 copies of a worthy title. Jacques turned again to publishing for his livelihood and in 1942 founded Pantheon Books, which immediately began issuing works of the French Resistance.

     summary: This investigation examined how employees in Florida community college library and learning resource centers are dealing with technological change in their work environment. Commu­ nity college library systems in other states often look to Florida when making stra­ tegic and tactical plans for their state sys­ tems.4 If community colleges are key provid­ ers of computer/technical education, and Florida in particular is a model two-year system, one might wonder whether li­ brary employees in these statewide insti­ tutions are in a better position to deal with technochange in the workplace because they are so well supported, philosophi­ cally and practically.

     summary: Scales were created for the following college experiences by adding the items in each category together to create one construct to represent a particular college experience: student–faculty and peer in­ teractions, engaged writing and active learning activities, self-reported critical thinking, and academic library use. Table 7 shows the results of the corre­ lation analyses determining the strength of the relationship among undergradu­ ates’ background characteristics, college November 2001 experiences, and academic library use during their first three years of college.

     summary: As Martin M. Cummings concluded, “Analysis of costs in meaningful detail is essential to management, i.e., answering the question, ‘Are there alternate, less costly ways to do the same thing?’”20 Methodology This article presents a new and unique method for determining library costs. Table 5 demonstrates that monographs are overwhelmingly the largest source or driver of library costs, consuming 95 per­ cent of library life cycle expenditures.

These results suggest that traditional education and training for business librarians are less than ad­ equate.

The first half of Digital Copyright in­ cludes rather detailed descriptions of how copyright law has been created, shaped, and reshaped over the last century.

     summary: At the same time, funding organizations ought to be persuaded of their obligation to assist ef- forts to produce library directors with the prerequisite expertise and attributes. Li- brary directors generally found them- selves at a higher level of leadership de- velopment and ability than did their sub- ordinates, a common outcome of leader- ship studies.4 Paul H. Mosher, vice provost and di- rector of libraries at the University of Pennsylvania, characterized the position of university library director as one that has gone through various stages of change: “the ‘keeper ’, evolving to the ‘professor-librarian’” (up to 1928), “the collection or ‘bookman-librarian” (1928– 1970), “the organization man (or woman) or ‘scientific’ librarian” (1970–1985), and “the provocative or ‘networked’ librarian: the ‘change agent’… on the university stage” (1985–present).

     summary: Garber leaves us with three general types of distinctions, corresponding roughly to the material covered in each of the three chapters: the amateurs ver- sus the professionals; the disciplines ver- sus neighboring disciplines, or fields of study in relation to other fields; and fi- nally the kind of inclusive versus exclu- sive uses of language that we most readily associate with occupational groups jeal- ously guarding the territories they lay claim to, sometimes with legal support and sometimes with next to nothing to restrain the competitive edge. “Marjorie Garber delights in draw- ing our attention to the uncanny (one her favorite words) connections that weave us into the web of our culture.

     summary: Now dean of library services at the California State University, Fresno, Gorman is carving out guru status in what we’ve been calling the “core values” of librarianship. (Then, of course, there’s “library sci- ence.”) Give the guru credit, he puts his val- ues to work on current issues in the pro- fession, from filtering the Internet to in- struction in library use (read the delight- ful essay on bibliographic instruction on pages 106–109), and much more.

Functions of library space are chang- ing; it is very important to keep the user’s expectations uppermost in mind while designing a new library.

     summary: Special aspects of East Asian collections, induced by constraints in han- dling vernacular-language information from East Asia, have distanced those collections from mainstream academic library administration. Quality management, staffing changes, a desire for demonstrated efficiency and effectiveness, and strategic planning are some of the major forces of organizational change in academic libraries now having an effect on East Asian collections.

     summary: Wolfgang M. Freitag read a paper for this symposium entitled, “On Planning a Music Library,” which was subsequently published in the journal, Fontes Artis Musicae.6 Freitag identified three types of music libraries (those in large research libraries, in universities, and in music departments in smaller in- stitutions) and provided a typical descrip- tion of each type. This wide range of budgetary allowances begins to explain why music libraries that are “similar” (i.e., all ARL libraries) differ so much in col- lection size and location.

     summary: On the other hand, a high proportion of administrators had below a fifty percent recognition level for nearly half of the technological terms identified in the survey, and the authors received only one comment on the low level of confidence of IT administrators in their dean/director ’s level of under- standing of technological terminology, and that was: “but why does that mat- ter?” Although the words themselves do not appear to be perceived as a problem for library administrators, how the words are used is definitely an issue for the admin- istrators who gave an example that would illustrate their answer to either the sur- vey question about the nature of techno- logical discussions in their library or the question about their perceived level of alienation from the technological deci- sion-making process. As might be expected, IT profes- sionals seldom or never felt alienated from the technological decision-making process in their libraries because of ter- minology and, to a great extent, neither do other library administrators.

For a long time, academic libraries in China used a publisher ’s catalog called New Titles Announcement as a major source of se- lecting and ordering library materials, though this catalog did not cover every subject.

Lisa Jardine’s brief contribution on book purchasing by the Medici family argues that the Medicis bought books not just for their content, but also in order to “construct a lasting family reputation.”

     summary: Raven’s study of book exports to North America between 1750 and 1820 shows that books published in London continued to be the main source of reading material through the mid-nineteenth century. His essay shows how immigrants (and the children of immi- grants) created imagined communities with their homeland by importing books and newspapers into their new country, with the result that Scottish nationalism was alive and well from Edinburgh to Halifax to Detroit.

In this arena, “conventional interface technol- ogy, which may be developed far more cheaply than expert system,” can outper- form the intelligent tools.

In addition to the understanding of the process of scientific refereeing, Weller’s frequently perceptive critiques of existing research and suggestions for fur- ther research, particularly in her conclud- ing chapter, may fuel and inspire research in the area.

     summary: The assumption found in the literature is that reference librarians universally accepted the role of instruction as it developed in the academic library, despite its chal- lenges.8 In 1984, William Miller cited in- struction as one of the significant new additions to the roster of reference librar- ian duties and a cause of consternation.9 Audrey D. Moore’s 1996 article described library instruction as one of three endur- ing reference service categories, the other two being informational services and reader ’s advisory services.10 In the early 1990s, librarians debated how reference services ought to incorpo- rate instruction. Such courses vary dramatically from institution to institution, and for the purposes of this particular survey, including them as part of library instruction would not render comparable results.14 Library tours are considered part of library instruction and counted toward the yearly number of classes.

     summary: If we look at the institutions that embody and best symbolize our democratic ideals, libraries are at the fore- front, especially in their defense of free and open access to information for all people. Susan B. Kretchmer, author of “The Li- brary Internet Access Controversy and De- mocracy,” provides an excellent and infor- mative overview on the use of filtering soft- ware in libraries and the controversy this has generated as a potential threat to the open access to information and the public’s right to know.

     summary: The power of information technology to penetrate, stupefy, de-fuse the human mind, and wreak havoc on information infrastructures is akin to the power of ra- dioactivity to penetrate matter—to de- stroy, mutate, and contaminate for cen- turies. For Virilio, information technology and technoscience are inducing a period of profound irresponsibility.

     summary: If there are differences in the perceptions of challenges encountered by library directors, it is logical to assume a resultant discrepancy in the support given by the CAO. Because no earlier data have been found for library directors from the study’s institutions, no conclusion can be drawn about changes within the popula- tion.

     summary: College librarians were intended to complement the new, but confusing, rich- ness of digital resources by putting a per- sonal face on the impersonal and increas- ingly huge body of information that was available electronically. College librarians are often asked by their clientele to help with literature reviews, to check citations, to provide facts, to make referrals, or to provide other forms of reference service.

     summary: The analysis focused on the extent to which scholars are using electronic resources and the types and subject areas of online resources that are being referenced. Results indicate a growing reli- ance on electronic resources by scholars, a high occurrence of nontraditional types of resources, and a relatively high use of interdisciplinary references.

     summary: Not only do library Web sites offer informa- tion about policies, items, and services available in the physical library, they also conveniently deliver electronic resources, such as electronic journals, reference tools, research guides, and electronic books, directly to the patron’s computer screen. Although not a new issue in the field, the use of highly technical language and jargon in library Web sites frequently poses difficul- ties for users of library Web sites as well.11,12 Battleson, Booth, and Weintrop reported that users had “obvious confusion with terminology.”13

     summary: Components to be devel- oped would include preservation policy, preservation funding planning and devel- opment, preservation decision-making models, and preservation cost models that integrate the unique properties which electronic materials and the insti- tutions that house them share. Background Articles regarding accounting, costs, and cost models within a library setting from a variety of perspectives have been writ- ten about the usefulness of managerial accounting in libraries, modeling specific to the information science field, and cost studies and methods related to online bib- liographic searching and evaluating in- formation retrieval systems.9–12 With re- spect to cost models, two particular articles should be mentioned: a cost model developed to estimate the costs of options associated with acquiring peri- odicals within libraries, and a cost model developed to assess the feasibility of stor- age and weeding programs within aca- demic libraries and to provide informa- tion for planning and budgeting of such programs when they are shown to be fea- sible.13,14 Digital library researchers Arturo Crespo and Hector Garcia-Molina have written about costs as they relate to the design of an archival repository.15,16 The authors defined an archival digital reposi- tory as “a repository that guarantees long- term data survivability.”17

     summary: The report provided a library cost trend analysis and showed that library cost per capita and circulation unit cost decreased as public library size increased, indicating econo- mies of scale, but also pointed out that savings were not expected to be substan- tial.9 Baumol and Matityahu Marcus later studied costs of academic libraries, which led to the publication of a book in 1973.10 No production function or cost functions were dealt with in their book. To be able to provide more accurate es- timates for library costs and economies of scale, this study took into account the multiproduct and multiservice nature of academic research libraries.

     summary: This study examined the ownership of religious texts within academic libraries that were members of the Associated College Libraries of Cen- tral Pennsylvania (ACLCP). Due to the growing religious diversity of the students, faculty, staff, and community users of these libraries, ownership of religious texts has become more important in order to serve these individuals more fully.

     summary: Sad to say, most library catalogers who work a forty-hour week for eleven months of the year and keep house and body to- gether in modern times have little time (or energy?) for advanced learning. And in a time of diminishing budgets, library admin- istrators will not be overwhelmed with the creativity of a suggestion to solve the qual- ity control problem in cataloging by hiring more catalogers, or even paying highly qualified nonprofessional staff more money to do specialized cataloging work.

     summary: Like other books in this series, Illumi- nating Letters will appeal to students of the history of books and the material text and to scholars of art history and literature. Typography is primarily a visual art; and perhaps if li- brarians attended to traditional uses of ty- pography in printed books, they might learn more from the objects that surround them in their daily work and even learn to apply that learning to the way readers in- teract with words, both in print and online.—Cecile M. Jagodzinski, Indiana Uni- versity.

     summary: Although the results of the studies were not entirely unexpected (for example, in the case of children’s librar- ians, interest in the content of the specialty and working with children were primary factors in the decision to adopt the spe- cialty), they point the way to a means for identifying the kinds of individuals who should be approached and persuaded to seek careers as library leaders. According to Glogoff, rather than being driven by tech- nology, library leaders can be the drivers if they use organizational structures that invite new ideas and promote adaptability.

     summary: The current work focuses on issues re- lated to acquiring, processing, and using vendor usage statistics at research librar- ies under the ARL E-Metrics Project. Although these mailing lists do not cover vendor statistics exclusively, there have been a considerable number of postings and threads on both regarding the topic.

     summary: Studies documenting the usage patterns of electronic journals have com- pared print and e-journal characteristics, surveyed faculty for their per- ceptions and expectations, and analyzed the impact on library practices. Fewer visits to the li- brary were necessary, although some sci- entists still enjoyed browsing through print journals.

     summary: However, student research is not just searching for sources. Tacking back and forth between the ACRL Stan- dards and the English 102 objectives, as well as mining their own experiences with student research (including their own college research experiences), the authors drafted a matrix-style rubric that divided each of these categories, which they called Relevance, Credibility, and Engagement, into three qualities they hoped to see in successful papers and as- signed a numerical value to each of four degrees of success they thought it would be possible to identify.

Yet, when libraries do use JCR to evaluate journals in their collections, it is often the case that “the journals one wishes to evaluate may not be contained in the JCR.”15 For example, of the approxi- mately 126,000 scientific journals pub- lished worldwide, the JCR Science Edi- tion covers only about 5,700 of them.16,17 Faced with the fact that many of the jour- nals in their collections, or journals they may wish to purchase for their collections, are not part of JCR and therefore cannot easily be compared with ranked journals in the same field, collection management librarians may not be properly evaluat- ing such journals for selection and de-se- lection purposes.

     summary: When libraries did find room for oral materials, it was generally in the form of transcripts rather than tapes; that is, the primary source was enthusiastically eschewed in favor of its simulacrum. Just the same, these essays are impor- tant in reinforcing the apparently not-so- obvious notion that there is a rewarding and symbiotic relationship between libraries and oral materials waiting to happen.

It gives the reader a rare opportunity to view pictures, study plans, and read about a wide vari- ety of academic library types—from the huge complexes at Colorado State Univer- sity and University of Maryland-Baltimore to the almost-petite Science Library at the College of Wooster—all in one volume.

     summary: “Internet Engineering Reference: An Academic Strategy” chronicles a Univer- sity of Texas library’s active confrontation with the widening gap between the ref- erence desk and library users. Further, those myriad “challenges” actu- ally and typically arise in fairly rural and remote locales, hardly affecting large numbers of students or library users, and in any event are usually denied, although they do represent opportunities to reex- amine selection decisions and to explain free speech precepts to the challengers.

     summary: Neely argues that there is a “marked lack of empirical re- search” on information literacy and that this has left us with little agreement on what information literacy actually means or on how best to design information lit- eracy instruction in higher education. Neely is correct to argue, for example, both that we know too little about student attitudes toward information literacy instruction and that our instruction programs could be im- proved if we knew more.

     summary: This study sought to determine whether library instruction could impact undergraduate business students’ atti­ tudes and use of three information formats: print materials, library data­ bases, and Web resources. The researchers found, not surprisingly, that the students were most familiar with Web resources; interestingly, though, they were more familiar with the library’s print resources than its online databases (mean = 2.67, mean = 2.09, web print mean = 1.82).

     summary: In the December 1960 issue of Library Jour- nal, newly appointed editor Eric Moon wrote his infamous editorial, “The Silent Subject,” in which he complained that the library profession, specifically the ALA, had generally ignored the racial segrega- tion of public libraries in the South. Diversity Now is a col- lection of sixteen articles, originally pre- sentations for the Big 12 Plus Libraries Consortium Diversity Conference held in April 2000, bringing together the “best practices in academic libraries in the ar- eas of people, collections, and services.”

     summary: In the December 1960 issue of Library Jour- nal, newly appointed editor Eric Moon wrote his infamous editorial, “The Silent Subject,” in which he complained that the library profession, specifically the ALA, had generally ignored the racial segrega- tion of public libraries in the South. Despite the qualified suc- cess of the Julius Rosenwald Fund in es- tablishing library service for black mine workers in Walker County, and the enlight- ened collaboration of the National Youth Administration (NYA) and the industrial leadership of the American Cast Iron Pipe Company (Acipco), which led to the es- tablishment of the Slossfield Branch of the Birmingham Public Library in 1940, Gra- ham characterizes the 1930s as a decade full of missed and only partially realized opportunities in the provision of library service to African Americans.

     summary: In special libraries (law, medicine, and corporate libraries) and archival col- lections, the line between advising and assisting patrons should be clear so that librarians will not be accused of mislead- ing patrons. In Montgomery, library integration came in 1962 after a series of sit-ins and court action, and despite Ku Klux Klan resis- tance.

     summary: In addition, te Heesen notes that many Enlightenment intellectuals be- lieved that it was the destiny of Europe- ans to bring moral, intellectual, and so- cial order to the world and that their chil- dren must be trained to fulfill that roll. In the final section (Box), te Heesen demonstrates how the box into which children were encouraged to file their pic- tures is far more than a mere curiosity.

     summary: 1. Focus group meetings usually cover a wider range of issues and con- cerns because even though the MR has a script to follow, discussion is driven by participants and deviations from the script are allowed and can lead to more input by participants. Brown University Library hired a professional marketing and opinion re- search firm to conduct focus group meetings with library users and to provide data analysis.

Preparation of Annual Reports Section A of the questionnaire dealt with two questions regarding the preparation of library annual reports.

     summary: The first two deal with collection and acquisition is- sues, the third with legal issues involv- ing patron access and privacy, and the fourth with ethical challenges. This is the most technical section of the book; however, it does an excellent job of de- scribing the substance and nuances of these confusing sections of U.S. code, as well as the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, and a range of legal issues relating to technology, access, and potential legal changes with emerging technologies.

     summary: This explains why a book written by a marketing specialist, which seems for the most part, judging by the numerous iden- tifying references, aimed at people work- ing in this field, on the surface is presented as a work of popular philosophy, as can be seen by a quick scan of the chapter titles: �A New World,� �Space,� �Time,� �Perfec- tion,� �Togetherness,� �Matter,� and �Hope. In summary, academic librarians should find this a fascinating, though sometimes difficult, study of the evolu- tion of the written word and its meaning; the semiotic approach might sometimes confuse the reader, being more in the realm of �information science� than �li- brary science.

Biases Although the authors made every effort to include as much of the collection as possible within the sample, the necessary exclusion of certain collection materials means that some biases exist in the study.

Couzinet documents the challenges encountered by French school documentalists and subject teach- ers in their new curriculum, which re- quires that information literacy and study skills be collaboratively taught to stu- dents.

     summary: In an attempt to reduce mis- understanding, Longino distinguishes three meanings of scientific knowledge: (1) knowledge production, the practices and processes that generate knowledge; (2) knowing, a three-way relationship among knowers, representations (e.g., models and theories), and objects (e.g., black holes); and (3) content, the corpus of knowledge that consists of verbal, mathematical, or visual representations. More narrowly, it is an exploration of a matter of considerable moment and dispute in that domain, namely, the role of social relations in the production and content of scientific knowledge.

     summary: Copyrights and Copywrongs is a cultural his- tory of copyright law, the self-proclaimed goal of which is to explain how essential the original foundations of American copyright law are to the educational, po- litical, artistic, and literary culture of this country. The author makes an eloquent argument for copyright law as it was origi- nally intended, the purpose of which was to encourage creativity and cultural ex- pression, the proliferation of ideas, and the sharing of information.

It has long been a major problem in American library history that the only com- petent biographical treatment of Justin Winsor has been that of Joseph A. Boromé completed as a doctoral dissertation at Co- lumbia in 1950.

     summary: On average, college students spend as much time on the Internet as they do studying.3 There also is the possibility that, as mentioned earlier, stu­ dents use different baselines when report­ ing gains.50 Despite these limitations, the CSEQ research program represents one of the most extensive national databases with survey information from college students related to their quality of effort and gains from college.

Interlibrary Loan Unlike the performance of recalls, which has received scant attention in the con­ text of book availability studies, the per­ formance of ILL has been scrutinized closely for many years, and performance indicators are well established.

     summary: This research is needed in order to develop a baseline of knowledge on the condition of library collections in East Central Europe similar to what we have for research libraries in the United States. The coun­ try is wealthy, and funding agencies within the country acknowledge the importance of library preservation and are willing to support such activities.

     summary: In aggregate, they present a mo- saic of conflict for record keepers, often as engagingly told as Altick’s classic, The Scholar Adventurers, is for the literary historian. The transition in recent decades from traditional methods and media to electronic records is one source of challenge and opportunity.

     summary: These headings are proof positive that Cold War mentalities are alive and well (or maybe just on automatic pilot) at least in the cataloging department of the Library of Congress. The U.S. was not deci- mated by war, and it was first and fore- most interested in weighting the balance of Cold War-era power in its favor, har- nessing intellectual energies and products as one means to that end.

     summary: Today, of course, his vision of research universities as cities unto themselves is the reality in which many of us live and work every day. The competitive challenge among universities requires that they have the best facilities (libraries?), the best faculty, and the best social and cul- tural components to enhance campus life.

     summary: Throughout the book, Wagner adds a layer of insight through his interpretive use of current nonprofit marketing and organization theory to suggest flaws in Farmington planning that are common to attempts to promote altruistic goals in a practical world. Libraries ultimately lose if they do not stand together, yet their failure to stand together on some deals likely stems from many of the same underlying issues that afflicted Farmington Plan partner- ships.

     summary: As the concept of wealth moved from precious metals to land and petroleum, and from those to invisible bits and bytes coursing through networks, it has become universally clear that intellectual property is destined to be the gold of the twenty- first century. The introductory chapter clearly illus- trates how the question of ownership of intellectual property goes far beyond the academic realm, where ownership rights to a faculty member’s lectures have tra- ditionally been a key issue.

     summary: Iannuzzi lays out four levels at which we can assess information literacy outcomes: within the library; in the classroom; on campus; and beyond the campus.69 One of the ALA’s primary agendas reflects the necessity of assessing information literacy on a pro- grammatic level.70 Because library instruc- tion does not have an undergraduate pro- gram, compared to assessing student learning of psychology or biology majors, one route for programmatic assessment is to take a snapshot of information lit- eracy at an institutional level. Maughan states, “to establish a baseline of student skills around which an information literacy program might be built; to assess the effectiveness of particu- lar library instruction sessions or ap- proaches to instruction; to determine the impact of library instruction programs on student information literacy skills and academic success; and to generate data with which to communicate with fac- ulty.”

        date: 2003
       words: 3930
      flesch: 47
     summary: After the courses were established, the librarians continued to participate in both classes through individual interactions with student work groups, online discus- sions, assessment of students’ assign- ments, and instruction on using various databases either in a lecture demonstra- tion session or through online tutorials developed for the courses. Jonassen takes on the challenge of defining various problems for instruction purposes, their structuredness, their rep- resentations, and their complexities.

     summary: Similar to the general concerns regard- ing the effects of earlier media on chil- dren, interactive media—such as online real-time games, computer games, chat sessions, and, in addition, the pervasive- ness of the Internet—have raised as much, if not more, concern than in the past. Use patterns point to the fact that as interactive media become more wide- spread, users of both sexes tend to replace one medium with the next, so time pre- viously spent watching television is be- ing replaced by time spent play- ing computer games and on the Internet.

     summary: Rowing Upstream is the final report on this five-year program, and it attempts to assess the development and availability of African content on the Web, the utilization of and innovation in technology across the continent, growth and support of ICT in African universi- ties, as well as examining the complex web of issues surrounding the work of local agencies, nongovernmental groups, and outside (foreign) donor agencies col- laborating to enhance links within and between African countries as well as to the rest of the world. The chapter on African content on the Web is the most substantial as it initiates a discussion of the definition of “African content” and raises important questions for both African and foreign producers and consumers of that content.

So begin the chapters at the heart of Samek’s book, where she records the debates, actions, and inactions that took place in Washington, Atlantic City, Chi- cago, Detroit, Los Angeles, Dallas, and New York, as ALA conferences became a moveable arena for activists to contest the library’s social role.

     summary: he landmark series of online catalog studies sponsored by the Council of Library Re­ sources (CLR) in the early 1980s established unequivocally that sub­ ject searching was the most popular type of online catalog search and that catalog users experienced the most difficulty with subject searches.1–2 Spurred by the find­ ings of the CLR studies, discussions and research efforts to improve subject search­ ing in online catalogs flourished through­ out the 1980s and early 1990s. A detailed analy­ sis of a one-week sample of subject no- hits searches is presented first, followed by a statistical summary of longitudinal study findings.

     summary: When that effort failed, Columbia filed new patent claims that would have guaranteed it seventeen more years of a multimillion­dollar income.1 Many universities have gained great wealth by allying themselves with the commercial sector, licensing their patents or otherwise associating themselves with large­scale industries.2 Although modern American universities may not all be ex­ actly rolling in money, many have found ways to tap wealth undreamed of only a generation ago. In 2003, the state legislature en­ abled the Arizona Board of Regents to buy stock in a company in the expectation of profit sharing following successful commercial ex­ ploitation of university research.

     summary: Although the task that Abby Smith has set herself in New-Model Scholarship: How Will It Survive? has to do primarily with the preservation of “complex and often unstructured digital objects” that are cre­ ated by sophisticated research projects at http:http://www.myhistory.org www.pueblo.gsa.gov/cic_text/misc/my http://www.clir.org/pubs/re our universities, she also is concerned with the preservation of “the primary sources in digital format on which this scholarship is based” (i.e., often the same mixed-format, multimedia resources that are accumulating and then disappearing at Web sites and on computer networks all over the world). Smith also looks at digital preservation as practiced by commercial and university publishers, by the government (led by the Library of 88 College & Research Libraries Congress), and also by such public initia­ tives as the Internet Archive, which has been storing snapshots of the entire Web since 1996 and successfully attracting sup­ port from many corporations and private individuals.

Its conclusions should enable li­ brarians and facility planners to (1) project the likely impact of physical improve­ ments on library usage and (2) determine the types of facility features most likely to contribute to major increases in build­ ing use.

     summary: Even with the technological advances of recent years, digital information has not replaced traditional means of publication and information storage but, rather, has added to it and thus strained the resources of national libraries and archives charged with storing and preserving both tradi- tional and digital information. Digital information is distributed differently, with the library holding a license rather than a physical copy.

     summary: Linda F. Wightman states that during the latter half of the twentieth century, standard- ized tests have played an “increasingly prominent role in the threat to diversity in higher education.” Chapter 4 discusses the social–psycho- logical evidence on race and racism, dem- onstrating the continuing relevance of this issue for diversity in higher education.

     summary: The essays are organized into six sections: collection development, full-text databases, electronic information delivery, preservation of Slavic collections, journals in Slavic and East European librarianship, and Baltic collections outside the Baltic countries. Without a doubt, for many libraries and collections exchange is no longer the cost-effective acquisitions tool that it once was.

     summary: When I mentioned to my coworkers that I had been invited to review a book on the history of JSTOR, most were sur- prised to learn that anyone would even think of writing such a book and many wondered if anyone would want to read it. The key to the value of this book is that JSTOR represents a unique, mission- driven experiment in scholarly commu- nications.

     summary: The essay, “Providing Access to Col- lected Works,” by Kizer Walker and Bar- bara H. Kwasnik, focuses on the index- ing process and its effect on access in the context of collected works, specifically the ambitious collections of Sigmund Freud’s writings. In “Cartographic Materials as Works,” Scott R. McEathron states: very little has been written by map librarians on the current cataloging mechanisms available for providing descriptive access to works or on thinking of cartographic materials as works. …

     summary: The number of women library directors at the top research libraries more than doubled between 1982 and 1997 from 22.4 to 45.2 percent, and as the statistics have shown, women now dominate leadership posi- tions in academic libraries.22 Janice J. Kirkland made an excellent argument that these women were able to achieve directorships through a combi- nation of networking and academic and professional credentials. According to the ARL annual salary survey for the FY 2000–2001, male library directors, on average, earn $133,007 and women library directors earn $136,216.

     summary: The provision of digital images for higher education has been an active area for research, design, and production projects in recent years. A smaller, but significant, number are using digital images (50% of faculty and 45% of stu- dents), and many more expect to increase their use of digital images in the next three years (75% of both faculty and students). • Potential users of a digital image li- brary (faculty members, in particular) are more concerned about content-related is- sues than they are about retrieval-related issues; they are less concerned with how to discover images than with whether the image library will contain relevant images at all.

R. St. Onge’s work, The Melancholy Anatomy of Plagiarism.26 In one of her general education classes at Colgate University, Rebecca Moore Howard found that one-third of her stu- dents plagiarized an assigned paper.27 She characterized student plagiarism as “patchwriting,” which she defined as “copying from a source text and then de- leting some words, altering grammatical structures, or plugging in one synonym for another.” This finding has been well documented with scores of studies about high school students by Niels.158 Kibler divided his literature review into “Personal Characteristics of Cheaters” and “Situational Factors In- volved in a Student’s Decision Whether to Cheat.”

     summary: Librarians wish to be part of the team in the educational process; however, faculty seem to want librarians to remain within traditional bounds. Librarians in some institutions, such as the Library and Archives of Canada, are se ing up, controlling, and pushing forward electronic information packages to their clients.19 James Wilkinson has seen a role for librarians in filtering the massive amounts of information that faculty must contend with: “Librarians can help direct students and faculty to the most promising sources; they can also help them hone their digital skills on the Internet.

     summary: This author, too, feels that collection policies are critical for defining the purpose and profile of the collection. The articles on popular fiction and poetry collections each qualify for the des- ignated “different” from this collection’s title.

     summary: In the case of Kuwait, when occupied by Iraq, records and artifacts were trucked wholesale to authorities in Baghdad who were intent on denying that the “recovered province” ever had sovereignty. The treaty permitted the colonial archives to be removed to Copenhagen, and most of the records were, with the exception of recent police, court, and land records.

     summary: In today’s reality of overlap- ping consortia, many librarians will find Carolyn Sheehy and Bernie Sloan’s descrip- tion of Illinois’s long (late 1960s) history of academic library cooperation and the state’s 2002 initiative to unite several related col- laborations under a unifying council both instructive and helpful. 1–2, of Resource Sharing & Information Networks (2002), offers a comprehensive makeup course in library cooperation.

     summary: rst edition.2 The wholesale reprinting of earlier entries in the new edition, the lack of a conceptual framework on which to base inclusion of articles, and the general unfocused approach to the field still are major issues that have not been faced by the editors and lead to the suspicion that the projected supplemental material will be a series of random articles rather than an encyclopedia. If separate articles titled “Paper” and “Papyrology” are allowable (with “The Paperless Society” interven- ing), there should be an article on print- ing, which is apparently ignored by the encyclopedia.

     summary: The enormous success of Dickens’s serial fiction on both sides of the Atlantic in the 1840s created a golden age of magazine fiction that lasted until the very end of the century, when economics and immigration changed the editorial practices at major magazines. Professor Okker has given us a small book on a big topic: serial fiction in nine- teenth-century America.

     summary: It is likely that a critical mass of open articles is needed before authors will become accustomed to regularly looking for needed articles online This study looks at articles in four disciplines at varying stages of adoption of open access—philosophy, political science, electrical and electronic engineering and mathematics—to see whether they have a greater im- pact as measured by citations in the ISI Web of Science database when their authors make them freely available on the Internet.

A brief introduction, 450 College & Research Libraries with entry references given in boldface, precedes the dictionary entries, which are followed by a select bibliography ar- ranged in broad subject categories.

     summary: The second section, “The Context,” focuses on current cataloging courses. Despite the obvious need for more cataloging instruction in library schools, the emphasis seems to be on teaching theoretical concepts in broad basic classes and leaving it to the library departments, conferences, PCC, library associations, and others to pick up the slack.

     summary: Following chapters deal with books that Hitler “read into” and books that Hitler “did not read (in depth).” Thus, a chapter deals with works in which Hitler penciled his own notes, which seems a bona fide way to measure intensity of interaction.

There are several elements to the provi- sions across the laws: • personal use of works, subject to payment of remuneration (some laws specify payment for phonograms, and others specify payment for other works covered under neighboring rights as well); • use of excerpts (in some laws re- stricted to short excerpts) for reporting of current events, without consent of the right-holder and without payment of remuneration; • ephemeral recordings by a broad- casting organization using its own equip- ment and for the purposes of its own broadcasts (this is generally a separate provision and is discussed above); • use of a work for the exclusive pur- poses of teaching or scientific research, without consent of the right-holder and without payment of remuneration; • quotation of excerpts (in some laws restricted to short excerpts) for informa- http:research.38 tional purposes, without consent of the right-holder and without payment of remuneration; • use of literary, scientific, or artistic works in accordance with other limita- tions and exceptions in the respective laws, without consent of the right-holder and without payment of remuneration; • further stipulation that the limita- tions to neighboring rights provided for in the provision do not prejudice either the normal exploitation of the phonogram, performance, or program, or the normal exploitation of the literary, scientific, or artistic work incorporated into it, and not prejudice the lawful interests of the right-holder or the author.

Zaid the author managed to convey to this reader his own passion for books—from his de- scription of learning to read and acquiring the ability to combine individual lett ers of the alphabet into the “miracle of the full word,” to the way mature readers can be liberated, transported from reading the page to reading life itself.

     summary: That the quoted faculty members don’t seem aware that many librarians rou- tinely do attend such meetings, for exactly the reasons given (and, in addition, because a goodly number of academic librarians are publishing scholars in academic subjects) is perhaps understandable, if sad. Teaching faculty members were asked four context-setting questions about broad field, specialty within it, faculty rank, and highest degree awarded by respondents’ institutions, along with eleven questions about their experience with reference librarians and suggestions for what the latter might do to improve or maintain subject awareness.

     summary: The “reading sites” of this book’s title are not libraries but, rather, locations in the imaginary space populated by readers, texts, and authors where, at least in the view of reader-response theories of litera- ture, the meaning of texts is constituted. And second, more relevant perhaps in a library science context, why even review this book here at all, rather than in a journal directed at readers in English departments?

     summary: “Information Services for Women in Developing Countries,” by H. Kay Rase- roka, argues that there is a crucial need to place women in a separate category when analyzing our ability to meet their information and communication needs. Erin A. Smith looks at another highly specific topic, the genre of women’s hard-boiled detective fiction, popular in pulp magazines of the 1920s through the 1940s, again as read by working-class readers.

        date: 2005
       words: 9981
      flesch: 51
     summary: Following is a list of some of the prob- lems encountered thus far and how they relate to each component: • numerous compatibility issues with various types of so ware used from both the writer’s side and the publisher’s side; the rapidly changing nature of com- mercial writing programs whose user- friendly aspects drive author demands, which in turn drive publisher changes, and what about the reader; • the increased need for high-quality images, no longer supplied adequately by traditional ILB means; improvement in electronic production of images and subsequent publication thereof, forcing change in distributors, as libraries try to cope with mechanisms no longer ad- equate for delivery of such; • the need for interactive images; compatibility issues again with means of delivery, affecting writers and publishers and libraries; question of stability, with advancement in programs occurring at inverse relationship to stability and com- patibility over the long haul; • ownership and its associated responsibility of preservation, the radi- cal alteration of roles of publishers and libraries with regard to this, and the ramifications to the connection between writer and reader. So a library negotiates borrow- ing arrangements with other libraries, in- stitutions, or document delivery services to provide these documents, sometimes for free and o en at a cost (certainly if the service is a commercial one).

     summary: User-centered research that att empts to balance the social with the technical has had some effect on the development of digital libraries and has the potential to provide even greater understanding. Although all share a commit- ment to the sociotechnical approach, these essays, like the projects that informed them, explore digital libraries from a wide range of perspectives (so wide, in fact, that the editors judiciously chose not to define the term digital library, allowing the multitude of examples in- cluded to provide institutional borders).

     summary: Another inves- tigates how digital libraries designed to serve large groups of users must scale up concepts traditionally seen as individual or psychological, specifically focusing on “transparency,” the idea that you do not have to know the intricacies of how a thing works to use it. This essay explains that as digital libraries seek to meet the needs of larger communities, contentions arise over transparency, but when that larger community accepts the transparency, it becomes “coercive.”

     summary: Of all such “suc- cessful” searches, about 30 percent were subject heading searches and about 25 percent were title keyword searches. Although a few studies have shown that the majority of searches were subject searches, especially in public libraries, these studies have tended to be ignored.2 In the early 1990s, soon a er online catalogs became relatively common, many librarians were quite surprised to Tina Gross is a Hispanic/Latin American Languages Cataloger in the University Library System at the University of Pi sburgh; e-mail: tinag@pi .edu.

     summary: Educational outcomes D. Content analysis E. Citation analysis F. Methodology description pattern of publication and citation of library science research articles over time, journals from three years were examined. Although agreement in David F. Kohl and C.H. Davis’s study was considered to be high among the ARL di- rectors and deans, it appears that journal prestige for the ARL directors is similar to that of the practicing physical science librarians in the present study and may be influenced more by a journal’s applicabil- ity to practice than by the publication of original research.28 Indeed, Mary T. Kim subsequently reported that the deans in Kohl and Davis’s study placed a higher value on research-oriented publications, but the ARL directors preferred a mix of research-practitioner journals.29 Similar to the physical science librarians’ data pre- sented here, Kim also found that for ARL directors, citation factors did not influence prestige rating for the highly rated prac- titioner-oriented journals.30 In contrast, however, she did find that citation factors for research journals were correlated with the journal prestige rankings of both ARL directors and deans.31

     summary: Be- cause LibQUAL+™ is designed as a tool to measure library service quality using the gap theory, a research model needs to present propositions and hypothesize paths that identify the determinants of the library service quality perception. A review of applications of research models for measuring service qual- ity in other service industries has lent support for the design of measures for library service quality.

     summary: In Bennett’s case, a lifetime of handling British books has led him to some major revisions in the received wisdom that many of us (myself included) have duly absorbed and erroneously passed along to others. British book buyers may well have customized their bindings, but they did so like Samuel Pepys: after they had bought the volume bound from their local merchant.

     summary: Vaidyanathan has been one important such voice and has done a good deal of public speaking on these topics (including talks at the ALA meet- ings) as well as writing books. But the events of 9/11 and their aftermath refocused his attention on what he describes as “information politics” as opposed to what he calls “entertainment politics,” and indeed the book ranges over topics from copyright to philosophies of anarchism, from the future of nation-states to information warfare, from peer-to-peer technology to some really fascinating discussion of global cultural issues.

     summary: The regres- sion coefficients of the first two variables, “confidence before” reference interaction and “friendliness” of reference staff, added to the model were both significant (p = 0.0289 and p = 0.0114, respectively), explaining a total of 14.56 percent of the variation in “confidence a er” reference interaction. Because we strive to show people how to be independent information seek- ers, reference interactions o en involve showing a student how to use a tool or suggesting an approach or strategy, then following up with further suggestions as the student continues the process on his or her own.

     summary: Predictably, the highest percentage of journal citations was in the sciences (58.8%) and second highest in the social sciences (46.2%), whereas journal citation use in the hu- manities was low at 12.6 percent. Further, citation checking of research documents and comparison of those citations with the availability of materials in a local collection offers an unobtrusive and cost-effective method of evaluating that collection’s ability to support research.2,3 As Smith’s and Robert N. Broadus’s literature reviews noted, citation check- ing is a time-honored and well-studied method for determining the usefulness of collections.4,5 It is part of a broad category known as citation studies, defined by Paul H. Mosher as “any specific methodologies that use source citations or references drawn from the scholarly apparatus of articles and books as the basis for manipu- lation, research, and study.

     summary: The authors therefore prepared a list (using the R so ware) for each volume of 30 (page number, column number, record number) triples, where they randomly selected “page number” from the numbers {1, 2, …, 694}, randomly selected “column number” from the num- bers {1,2,3}, and randomly selected “record number” from the numbers (1,2, …, 7). In designing their sampling ex- periment, the authors considered the possibility that the proportion of Mansell records found in WorldCat might vary by volume year.

     summary: They identify downsizing strategies— work force reduction, work redesign, and systemic organizational change. At the request of a female col- league, Elaina Whisthoven, whom he recently fired due to budget cuts, David Goldberg, director of library services at an unnamed academic library, agrees to take her place for a few evenings on a project to scan, organize, and index the papers of aging businessman Alan Carston Stowe, a conservative billionaire who desires to leave his records to posterity as a memo- rial to his greatness.

     summary: For academic librarians who like a good political thriller and are willing to put up with plenty of sex, violence, and profanity, Beinhart’s novel will likely be an entertain- ing read. After providing a brief synopsis of the plot, I will focus on three questions: How does Beinhart portray librarian- ship and librarians?

     summary: The authority of science information systems and studies is invoked to validate the importance of the task of deflating information, but the book shifts between general and scientific information studies to validate critiques from one arena to the other. Frohmann then proceeds to identify the contradictory uses of “infor- mation” and the epistemological assump- tions built on that basis in the study of scientific information systems.

Binders regularly followed the fashion of sewing on false raised bands, a less time-consuming, more profitable practice that gave book owners what they wanted esthetically and binders more profit.

     summary: Paris has a unique power to legislate on literary matters and acts as a Greenwich Meridian of literary time in defining what is modern through the writings of its avant-garde. Its interest for research and academic librarians probably would have been greater if, instead of thinking about the ways in which politics and economics can supply us with metaphors for think- ing about rivalries in the world of letters, more attention had been devoted to the actual mechanics of book fi nancing, print- ing, and distribution (e.g., the difficulties faced by writers from countries without a developed publishing industry in finding an overseas publisher) and their eff ect on literary production.—David Mulrooney, Harvard University.

     summary: Beile and Adams showed an average minimum salary of $30,751 for all technical services job ads; the current study found $38,688.23 They found the average minimum salary for a nonadministrative cataloging job was $28,888; this study found $35,304.24 For cataloging job ads with administrative duties, their finding was $34,997; this study’s was $41,403.25 According to the American Institute for Economic Re- search’s Cost of Living Calculator, the cost of living between 1996 and 2001 increased 12.87 percent.26 All the salary increases for technical services job ads exceeded this rate of growth. hen talking to colleagues, the anecdotal consensus seems to be that technical service jobs are becoming increasingly hard to fill.

     summary: Does it make university com- mi ee membership more meaningful by making librarians’ opinions and concerns more valid?36 A number of surveys speak to this question and have addressed the following topics: • Satisfaction with faculty status, based on type of institution, academic rank, promotion history, primary area of responsibility, years of experience, tenure status, and gender; • Differences with regard to library governance structure; • Differences in eligibility for mem- bership in the faculty governing body; • Effects on salary scales; • Differences in promotion policies; • Differences in obtaining leaves of absence or sabbaticals; • Differences in funding opportuni- ties for research projects; • Differences in academic freedom; • Examined library faculty participa- tion in governance.37 As a result of the developments re- garding tenure for library faculty at UNC Charlo e, two members of the library faculty did a literature review to try to de- termine if faculty status and tenure made a difference in librarians’ professional lives. The 168 College & Research Libraries March 2006 interim provost was instituting a new status for library faculty under Special Faculty Appointments, as provided for in the university’s tenure policy.

     summary: The encyclopedia’s main weakness is that it cites few of the many bibliographies and reference works that might help students and scholars to locate authors beyond those profiled or mentioned here. Freed from the need to cover basic information in their essays, the authors who contributed to the encyclopedia are able to evaluate their subjects with an immediacy and level of engagement o en lacking in reference works.

Although this summary does not even attempt to fully account for today’s many diff erent American postsecondary institutional types (a fact acknowledged by the contributors to this volume), it is employed to demonstrate how the charter between higher education and American society has evolved in response to societal needs.

     summary: Hart reported that for nonrefereed articles wri en by librarians at Pennsylvania State University, the rate of coauthorship was slightly more than 10 percent, but over 30 percent for refereed articles.25 As with the proportion of ar- ticles by academic authors, time will tell whether the decline in coauthorship be- tween the present study and the authors’ previous study marks the start of a down- ward trend or is a temporary drop. The authors searched Ulrich’s Periodicals Directory for refereed, U.S. LIS journals in the subject category “Library and Information Sciences” that had begun publication between 1982 and 1995 and a minimum of 400 holdings on World- Cat in July 2004.

     summary: Less than 34 percent of the institutions that responded to the current survey reported that they afford librarians full faculty status and rank, which is exactly the same percentage as reported by Park and Riggs, who employed a very strict definition of faculty status (i.e., faculty status meant that librarians had the same titles and same requirements for tenure and promotion as other faculty on campus).18 However, an additional 19 percent of the colleges surveyed reported that librarians have faculty status, but not rank, which means that almost 53 percent of institutions TA B L E 7 R is k E st im at es F ac ul ty S ta tu s O nl y F ac ul ty S ta tu s an d F ac ul ty R an k R ev ie w P ro ce ss (A ny F or m al P ro ce ss ) Based on the responses of the 125 colleges that participated in the survey, the higher the tier in which an institution is ranked in the U.S. News & World Report annual report on America’s colleges, the less likely that librarians will have faculty status or rank, the less likely they will be required to undergo a formal review process, the less likely they will have access to research funds, and the less likely they will be eligible to serve on campuswide faculty committees.

     summary: The result is a multifaceted approach to employee orientation that includes a scheduled orientation session as well as tools and support for managers and supervisors in welcoming and orienting new employees to the work environment and organizational culture. Although new employees still receive a tour of the physical space, creating a more stimulat- ing experience enhances the socialization aspect of orientation.

     summary: Librarians may expect, for ex- ample, online patrons to prize speed quite highly when, in fact, they might be more patient than in-person patrons simply because they are using a communication mode they find convenient and socially comfortable.39 In particularly complex information tasks, the flow of search- ing may be stymied and the reference interview becomes a means to break the bo leneck, or detailed records of multiple information searches40 may be proliferat- ing in the background as multitasking continues during the contact.

     summary: An issue of Library Trends (summer 2004), which is devoted to “organizational development and leadership,” contains several articles on the role of leaders and the acquisition of critical leadership traits. For example, one study shows that business leaders rank EI traits as more important than traditional leadership traits for the successful leader to posses.21 Of par- ticular importance are developing a shared vision, relationship building, employee development, adaptability, optimism, empathy, and self-awareness.

     summary: Putnam’s correspondence during his 1903 Grand Tour of Europe fills in many gaps for library history enthusiasts fascinated by turn-of-the-twentieth- century librarianship. In addition to insights into Putnam’s private life, his letters represent, according to Knowlton, “a portrait of period travel—involving steamships, railroads, ferries, river craft, horse-drawn carts, rowboats, and hik- ing—that would be nearly impossible to duplicate today.”

     summary: Academic librarians generally publish more than librarians working in other sett ings; on average, academic librarians write at least one solo-authored, peer-reviewed journal article that is typically published in the library literature. Gwen Meyer Gregory and Mary Beth Chambers reveal that there are many variations of faculty and academic status for librarians.

What makes Mickenberg’s book so welcome is that it investigates, not textbooks, but another group of books produced for children, trade books written by leftist authors who largely escaped the eagle eyes of right- wing censors in mid-twentieth century.

Chapter One presents a theoretical framework for a pragmatic ori- entation of libraries and writing centers, examining the process-based activities of the two units, the social nature of aca- demic work involving writing and library research, and the importance of peer tutor- ing and counseling in writing centers.

     summary: Of course, the trends affecting use of university libraries’ newspaper collec- tions were part of larger trends affecting newspaper readership, which is down overall as television news, newspaper Web sites, and, increasingly, blogs are used more frequently for news.12 Today, search engines designed to scoop up and present the news have changed the way we read the news. Most germane was her treatment of why librar- ies should have televisions when most people have them at home and stressed that no ma er how ubiquitous televisions may be, not everyone can access them during the day or can afford the costs of subscribing to the many international channels.22 One well-documented installation of a television in a library focusing solely on news programming is located at the Kapiolani Community College Library (Honolulu, Hawaii).23 Terry Webb dis- cusses the importance of the “channels of information” offered by television, the importance of providing television news services in libraries in light of converging media technologies, and the arrangement of the news sources in the NewsWare Al- cove according to their chronology in the news cycle.24 Webb also makes clear the distinction between simply placing a tele- vision in a public place and focusing on television news.

     summary: The author found one Web site that included an interactive true/false self-assessment quiz about plagiarism.31 However, an original pretest was written to match student learning outcomes to the instruc- tion and to enable comparison of students’ pre- and pos est scores. A total of 395 scores were not included in this study for the follow- ing reasons: individual registered just to test the system, student registered but did not record a score (o en happens when students drop a course before completing the tutorial), or student did not complete both the pre- and pos ests.

     summary: ISI categories were used to assign discipline to articles, and, for that time pe- riod, cross-disciplinary citation rates were higher for Biology and Engineering than for Physics and the Earth Sciences.23 Thed van Leeuwen and Robert Tijs- sen use ISI categories to assign discipline and measure cross-disciplinary citation (CDC), an indicator that is virtually http:Sciences.23 http:discipline.21 http:categories.18 450 College & Research Libraries They find similar results from all three measures, but they note that this convergence might not hold for other disciplines and that the ISI mul- tiassignation of journals is a less sensitive measure than the other two.19 Pierce studies a more direct form of in- terdisciplinary communication, “bound- ary crossing,” which occurs when authors publish outside their own fields.

     summary: Certainly, authors of the increasingly popular mystery genre revolving around the oft en baffling ciphers and semiotics of old books and their constituent parts—in the tradition of Eco’s Name of the Rose (1981) and Pérez-Reverte’s Club Dumas (1993), now, of course, Dan Brown’s The Da Vinci Code (2003)—could weave many wonderful tales from the arcana and mi- nutiae Mirjam Foot has brought together in this volume. To stay for a moment with the example at hand: we learn in Foot’s book that sprinkled edges on books were not just decorative, but often helped hide the dirt on the edges; that red and green sprin- kling said “French” to German readers; that sprinkling with red alone suggested 480 College & Research Libraries elegance, but a solid red edge signaled a book that was for peasants.

The work demon- strates—through in-depth examinations of onscreen characteristics—that the im- ages of reel librarians have changed little throughout the years and that the usual stereotypes persist.

      flesch: 42
     summary: In order for information literacy instruction to be suc- cessful in secondary schools, collaboration between content area teachers and SLMSs is imperative,16 but teachers who are not information literate themselves are not likely to see the need to collaborate with SLMSs to incorporate information literacy into student learning. In light of such positive perceptions, it is significant that 51.13 percent of SLMSs who responded to question 19, which asked whether or not they think most stu- dents in their schools are achieving desired levels of information literacy at a pace appropriate for the 21st century, do not think that most students at their schools are achieving desired levels of information literacy, whereas only 37.84 percent do think their students are achieving desired information literacy levels, and 11.03 per- cent don’t know whether or not students are acquiring desired information literacy skill levels.

     summary: In response to declining numbers of qualified applicants nationwide for librarian positions in academic libraries, the University of Colorado at Boulder Libraries, in collaboration with the University’s Graduate Teacher Program, has developed a fellowship program that encourages gradu- ate students with advanced subject or language expertise to consider careers in academic librarianship. In November of 2002, the Association of College & Research Li- braries’ (ACRL) Focus on the Future Task Force identified recruitment, education, and retention of librarians as core issues facing academic libraries.1 Fewer quali- fied individuals are seeking positions in academic libraries, which has led to shal- lower pools of applicants with advanced subject skills.2

     summary: The advent of RSS feeds, with many types of alerting pos- sibilities, may have a much larger impact on electronic resource use than search alert services, and it will be important for librarians to understand how RSS feed use will be recorded in use statistics. This argues that federated searching, independent of open URL linking technology, had an impact on electronic resource use.

     summary: To provide an overview of librarian distribution among large, medium, and small institutions, librarian to nonlibrarian ratios, and ratios of library staff to students and faculty, a database comprising 1,380 four- year nonspecialized U.S. academic institutions was constructed. This is even clearer when the library sizes are condensed to three categories, in Figure 2: over half of all academic librarians work in large libraries (with twenty-three or more other librarians), while the great majority of institutions have small libraries (Figure 3).

      flesch: 50
     summary: f the focus of bibliographic description is the artifact—the precise capture of its physical and textual facts—the focus of subject headings work is the library user and his or her content-related needs and expectations.1 Ideally, subject head- ings enable users not familiar with the literature of a field to identify and gather together relevant works, regardless of their authors, titles, disparate physical locations, and what other major topics they may treat. This article extends arguments recently presented by Gross and Taylor (2005) in two directions: first, by considering the importance of subject headings for access to historical materials; and, second, by examining the value added by subject head- ings even when the full text of a work is available online.

     summary: Increasingly, citizens and their lead- ers find themselves not only at a point where they must rethink the means of distributing government information and social goods, but in a position to evaluate the core roles of government agencies in light of the new possibilities presented by information technology. Using focus-group interviews and questionnaires, Rowena Culler and Peter Hernon examined the impact of government services in the daily life of New Zealanders by recording their research behavior on government Web sites.

     summary: In themselves these topics would be of particular interest to academic librarians since they help situate library work and collections within a larger intellectual framework and describes something of our own intellectual environment. For instance, citations, citation analysis, and related subjects (like “references,” bibliometrics, and acknowledgement Book Reviews 89 vs. citing) are discussed in all nine chapters—repeatedly covering the same ground.

     summary: In summary, this provocative, well- written, well-edited, and thoroughly documented study deserves a place on the “must read” list of any academic librarian interested in the history of libraries, the social implications of Western notions of literacy, and/or the provision of library services to aboriginal peoples. Readers of this lucidly writt en, excellently organized, and passionately argued book may never be able to view libraries the same way again; libraries, the author demonstrates, are not just information portals or storehouses of ideas, but some- thing more dangerous and oft en feared: they are battlefields.

     summary: Chapter Three: “Librarians and Librar- ies Organize Chaos,” praises libraries for maintaining at least a “generalized order” enabling library users to “locate the infor- mation they are seeking or stumble upon that which they need but did not know existed.” In the preface and throughout the book, she “ar- gues that libraries have survived, and will continue to thrive in the future, because they fulfill eternal needs of people.

     summary: At the time of his study, Thomas E. Nisonger (1996) identified 21 previous authorship stud- ies.7 Of these, four focused exclusively on the authors of ACRL’s flagship journal, College & Research Libraries (C&RL),8 and several more included C&RL in their comparisons with other library journals.9 Adapting the methodology used in these studies will provide the opportunity to compare authors of conference papers with authors of library journal articles. Several studies have identified how these activi- ties differ.41 One of the major differences is that conference papers should “lend themselves to oral presentation.

     summary: The study suggests that this formula may be useful as a tool for library funding and assessment of adequacy of library budgets. Although these variables are imperfect measures of the theoretical construct and, as discussed in more detail later, there are other potential determinants of library funding that might usefully be considered in future research, the variables selected represent measurable indicators of institutional characteristics related to the demand for library services.

     summary: Whereas libraries with a traditionally undergraduate orientation regard collec- tions in terms of a curricular “service,” research libraries understand the loosely coupled nature of means and ends in what James G. March terms knowledge inventories: “Does society ‘overinvest’ in library books? Indeed, without an appreciation for research collections as knowledge inventories, developing libraries are likely to put new funds into old, undergraduate routines.

     summary: Clearly, the only way to save significant amounts of money on reference services without closing an entire library was to reduce reliance on subject specialist librarians at service sites, who, no ma er how senior they may be, are higher paid than paraprofessionals. Testing the Pilot Even these savings to the process, how- ever, could only be realized if FINL’s pilot succeeded in delivering reference service at these sites with no decrease in customer satisfaction at a minimum.

     summary: Therefore, the purpose of this study was to identify the nature of the association between critical thinking disposition and library anxiety among graduate students. Specifically, whereas critical thinking disposition is positively related to performance in academic-re- lated activities,33 library anxiety is nega- tively associated with academic-related achievements, such as research proposal writing,34,35 grade point average,36 and performance in research methodology courses.37,38

     summary: In “The Google Library Project at Ox- ford” and “Calling the Scholars Home: Google Scholar as a Tool for Rediscov- ering the Academic Library,” authors Ronald Milne and Maurice C. York, respectively, discuss various applications and the usability of Google Print and Google Scholar. For the most part, the chapters in this book can be broken down into two types: one, how Google impacts libraries and librarians and strategies for developing successful services in a world inhabited by Google; and two, articles that discuss various applications and the usability of Google products or that discuss partner- ships with Google.

     summary: Because it aggregates search results from multiple sources, metasearch can take longer to present results than a single database or an Internet search en- gine. A task was considered unsuccessfully completed when participants did not find search results useful, felt they could not answer a question using metasearch, or ran into technical difficulties from which they could not recover.

     summary: They re- port that other researchers (Kurtz 2004, in particular) have found ratios of 12:1 and 17:1 for open access journals.11,12 A second argument for open access is that those who sponsor the research should have ownership of the results. The metric they report to measure this is the ratio of “reads” to citations in open access journals.

     summary: The production, array, and consumption of information right now are enormously more complicated and confusing than they were then, and no one knows exactly in which directions these will go in the near and more distant future. Twenty years ago, “information” was more exiguous and certainly harder to come by, and often more effort was put into finding information than in digesting it.

     summary: The traditional reliance on place names and political jurisdictions needs to be complemented by greater attention to space, using latitude and longitude. Places In Library Catalogs Support for geographic searching in library catalogs is provided primar- ily by using place names as geographic name subject headings (MARC 651) or as geographic aspects of other kinds of subject headings through the use of “geo- graphic subdivisions” (65X|z) qualifying nongeographic subject headings (e.g., 650|aFolklore|zAndorra).

     summary: In her preface, the author takes pains to elucidate the criteria for inclusion of the 85 artists profiled here, addressing “whether Jewish American art need only be art made by a Jewish American, independent of content, or if both the artist’s and the artwork’s identity must be Jewish” (p. xiii). The earlier printed encyclopedias, then published by Grove Dictionaries, covered American art before 1914, Latin American and Caribbean art (both are in the series Grove Encyclope- dias of the Arts of the Americas), and Ital- ian Renaissance and Mannerist art, with all three being part of the Grove Library of World Art, published in 2000.

     summary: From serving as a page at the Fleet Branch of the Cleveland Public Library to direct- ing academic libraries, to teaching and administration in library and information science education, George S. Bobinski was in the midst of challenges and changes that shaped and reshaped the world of libraries and librarianship from 1945 to 2005. While not written for the digital library beginner, this broad sweep of the field could be used by those new to digital library concepts to identify major issues, players, and projects that could be investigated further in other resources.

     summary: She envisions digital libraries becoming more user-centered, as “bridges” are built to encourage the migration of digital objects from the digital library context to individual and collaborative digital workspaces and classrooms. This work is a successful, substantial snapshot of digital library development, and one relatively unblurred for having been taken of a subject not only in motion, but motions.

Most useful to new leaders will be the step-by-step instructions on writing vision, values, and mission state- ments, and citations to examples written for ALA, OCLC, and the U.S. and U.K. National Archives.

     summary: Chapter one, “The faculty: who they are, how they think,” is a sort of field guide to help academic librarians distin- guish the four types of faculty members they may (or may not) spot in the stacks. If a counterbalance of interviews with academic librarians had been included, the book would have had a broader appeal and could have built a similar empathy for librarians; faculty reading the book could have been educated, and students entering the field of academic librarianship could have learned much about the ranks they would be joining, as well as learning about the lives of faculty members.

     summary: Successful library leaders cultivate and employ these skills strategically to gener- ate necessary organizational change. Hernon argues that skilled leadership is more essential than ever, as familiarity with information policy—with its constantly changing and complicated interplay between public policy, informa- tion science, and economics—becomes ever more crucial for decision makers within academic libraries.

     summary: We would suggest that the presence of an abstract with federated search results be an aspect of such a study since 12 percent of the participants specifically mentioned the usefulness of abstracts in more effi- ciently selecting be er resources. However, another BYU stu- dent who saved time with federated search but pre- ferred nonfederated search commented, “While [feder- ated search] did go faster (which to many will be a plus and will sway them to choose [federated search]), I think if I did lean to one or the other, I’d actually pick [nonfeder- ated search]” (emphasis in original).

Although evaluation of reference service has been occurring for at least 20 years, studies to this point do not appear to completely capture the reality of reference as it is practiced by librarians who endorse an instructional approach at their colleges and universities.

     summary: In the book under review, he presents a heartfelt critique of the digitization of libraries and defense of traditional book culture in the form of a novella embodying a “cautionary tale about the demise of the printed book, the decline of reading, and the confl ict of print and digital culture.” Briscoe’s basic message seems to be that, whereas libraries have historically been the natural allies of the bibliophilic forces of light, their recent turn toward fund- ing for digital resources to the detriment of book acquisition and preservation is turning them into abettors of the forces of darkness.

In the historiography of libraries and knowledge transmission, this trend has been reflected in recent years by books that look at the material culture of our profession, from ancient times to the present.

     summary: Drawing both on the idea of teacher identity from the literature of teacher education and on existing studies of professional stereotypes and professional identity development among academic librarians, this study explores the degree to which academic librarians think of themselves as teachers, the ways in which teaching has become a feature of their professional identity, and the factors that may influence academic librarians to adopt a “teacher identity” as part of their personal understandings of their role on campus.

     summary: It is important to mention that the number of journals needed to cover 50 percent of journal citations is very dif- ferent between the Gooden study and our study. The users’ needs can be identified by the analysis of the scientific literature usage of students, teachers, and researchers.1 Journal usage can be estimated by the number of citations contained in the docu- ments published by researchers as the articles in scientific journals, conference papers or postgraduate dissertations.

     summary: The sce- narios that are likely to occur in libraries where the majority of us work are of a much more mundane sort. This book, in addition to making splendid reading, is an important reminder that there is so much more to the legal universe surrounding libraries and archives than we imagine.

     summary: The chapter concludes with a series of interesting diagrams mapping the various information interactions as- sociated with each work role, followed by a general diagram in which all the work roles are related to the life cycle of information and information work in archaeology. For information specialists and librarians who work closely with archaeologists, his demonstration that information behaviors in archaeology are not limited to literature searching, but pervade the entire life cycle of archaeological work, will be of great value.

     summary: Johansen focuses chapter 1, “Weather Wars: Hard Science and Hardball Poli- tics,” on the world of James E. Hansen, director of NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Science and a true (and truth- ful) expert on climate change. Johansen refers to some recent polls that indicate the extent of ignorance regarding basic science among the general public: …polls indicated that only about 40 percent of U.S. citizens subscribed to the theory of evolution, about 20 percent insisted that the sun revolved around the Earth, one- half believed that human beings coexisted with dinosaurs… Of particular interest in this chapter are Johansen’s descriptions of the dispo- sition of many people toward relativistic thinking, which posits that “everybody has a view, and all are equally valid”; academia’s unwillingness in many cases to protect teachers from attack by zeal- ous creationists; the phenomena of “closet creationists” who teach science in our public schools; and proposals that religious belief and text enter into education not through the door of the science classroom, but through those of history and literature where they more properly belong.

     summary: Most of the chapters are focused on subject areas but the two final chapters are more broadly based: Carrie Forbes’ chapter on integrat- ing discipline-based library instruction into the curriculum, and Jennifer Bowers’ concluding chapter discussing changing disciplinary boundaries and the nature of interdisciplinary research. Echoing the notion that anything less than impeccable scholarship justifi es an open season on dissenting voices, chapter 4, “Gut-Based Discourse in the Age of the Internet,” describes the travails of Ward Churchill, just recently removed from his tenured teaching position at the Univer- sity of Colorado following two years of attacks on the talk-radio circuit and an investigation into his scholarship follow- ing allegations of plagiarism.

     summary: Infl uenced by Norbert Wiener’s theories of cybernetics and by R. Buckminster Fuller’s approach to systems, Brand continued pushing forward, with the unsuccessful Whole Earth Soft ware Catalog, which proved too difficult to keep updated due to rapid de- 92 College & Research Libraries velopment in the area, the more successful Whole Earth Review, and the Co-Evolution Quarterly, the former of which is still in publication as Whole Earth. The compelling evidence presented by Fred Turner in his recent book, From Counterculture to Cy- berculture, indicates that it is attributable to Stewart Brand and his San Francisco Bay Area associates and their imposi- tion of a cultural approach to both the Whole Earth Catalog and to the World Wide Web.

     summary: The focus is on the broadest possible interpretation of the information commons—“the entire social and cultural area of free speech, shared knowledge and creative expression in the digital age” (to quote the LC author- ity record)! James Boyle grounds his chapter in the research of sociologist Robert Merton, advocating the opening up of the academic knowl- 94 College & Research Libraries edge commons to the general public.

     summary: Moreover, taken literally, these definitions still imply that librarians will match collections in thousands of subjects against multiple complex criteria and rate them in three separate aspects: current collection level, acquisition commitment, and collection goal. It involves dividing collection title counts by literature title counts at each interval of the scale and converting the decimal fractions to percentages.9 All members of my class did so successfully to produce tables like Table 4.

     summary: According to Burgan, among the big- gest impediments to faculty members re- engaging in productive governance is their exasperation with institutional complexity and their fear of wasting valuable time either addressing insoluble problems or trying to work with administrations that are not committed to collaboration. This should not 188 be interpreted as saying Burgan naively believes major problems will simply melt away when faculty members assert them- selves, but rather she cogently shows why students and the public interest are not well served when the faculty are not actively involved in governance.

     summary: Evan Farber’s writings are already widely available in the literature, and what the field needed was not another container in which Farber’s work could be housed, but, rather, an opportunity for today’s leading college and instruction librar- ians to explore and debate the ongoing significance of his ideas and his life’s work. When the definitive history of the instruc- tion movement in libraries is written, there will be a chapter dedicated to the work of Evan Farber at Earlham College.

     summary: And, while some 21st-century instruc- tion librarians may find Farber’s focus on teaching students about “the eff ective use of …library materials” and on the importance of a well-designed search strategy to be somewhat limited in today’s environment, one must also recognize the prescience of Farber’s comments on the importance of continuing professional education for teaching librarians (1977) and on the role that critical thinking instruction would play as part of instruc- tional services in libraries and as part of the broader enterprise of undergraduate education in an information age (1984). Here, while Jeanneney retains that concern about American cultural dominance, he has set himself (and librarians and archivists) a larger challenge.

They compare the socialization process of new academic librarians with that of new professors, pointing out areas for improvement in graduate training and suggesting socialization strategies for libraries.10 In the third group, studies look at the initial a itudes and job ex- periences of new librarians.11 Studies of how librarians progress through various socialization stages are rare; for example, Ma hews reports on stages of transition for university librarians.12 Organizations need to understand the kinds of changes experienced by new employees during their adjustment to the workplace to formulate effective strategies for socialization.

     summary: There are tactics available to library users to guard their information and to protect it from online predators. He also offers observations on why electronic books aren’t the same as print books, provides a general overview and debunking of the myth of the “paperless society,” and devotes an entire chapter to the various problems associated with Google books and other massive book digitization projects, and in the clever fashion that permeates this book, titles the chapter “Google Über Alles.”

     summary: However, the themes that emerge from the essays taken as a whole should be of interest (and concern) to all librarians and archivists: nearly every essayist describes the unfortunate effects of war, revolution, and censorship on library collections. In matters more pertinent to everyday library operations, the authors note the historical importance of catalogs and what they reflect about their owners’ collecting goals; they describe shelfmarks and shelving methods and show how these suited the needs of the reader/ owner; they provide physical details on individual books that give us hints on how particular readers used books and texts.

     summary: In the first three chapters—“Bush Administration Information Policy and Democratic Values,” “Less Safe: The Dis- mantling of Public Information Systems after September 11,” and “Expanding Pri- vacy Rationales under the Federal Free- dom of Information Act: Stigmatization as Talisman”—the authors examine how the Bush administration views information privacy and documents the government’s move backwards in its interpretation of the Freedom of Information Act. In Patriotic Information Systems, editors Todd Loendorf and David Garson gather together a collection of essays that exam- ine how state and federal government policies relating to information privacy have changed since the pivotal events of September 11, 2001.

     summary: The project took an ethnographic approach in that it studied student culture by conducting interviews, observing students both inside the library and out, and mapping their curricular and extracurricular activities. Noting that changing technology and social habits had transformed student culture, they initi- ated a blitz program: keeping later library hours, offering free coffee and cookies, and promoting chat and telephone services.

     summary: The challenge for students (and others) may well be to manage effort so as to optimize results. The explicit implication for information lit- eracy is that students could be convinced that the cognitive effort spent in such a course can result in sufficient cognitive difference that their performance in other courses will be enhanced.

     summary: Table 6 registers the mean propor- tion of open Web site citations per bibliography at 16.8 percent, with the social sciences having the high- est proportion at 20.1 percent, humanities the lowest at 12.2 percent, and the sciences falling between at 15.7 percent. In a series of three seminal studies, Davis & Cohen and Davis looked at the bibliographies from one multisection, introductory economics course at Cornell University, assessing the type and quality of resources, in addition to measuring the pervasiveness of open Web citations.11 Grimes and Boening, a er interviewing students and faculty and analyzing the bibliographies from two English compo- sition classes, concluded that community college students used “unevaluated or inappropriate” Web resources.12 Jenkins, analyzing an informal sample of 116 bibliographies drawn from a range of academic disciplines at the College of Mount St. Joseph, determined that while open Web citations were common, they were overshadowed by traditional library http:resources.12 http:citations.11 http:University.10 344 College & Research Libraries July 2008 resources, articles, and books.13 Leiding analyzed a random sample of under- graduate honors theses at James Madison University wri en during the period of 1993–2002 with the primary intent of as- sessing local collections and found that under 8 percent of the citations from post-Web bibliographies were composed of open Web resources.14 Tomaiuolo, who gauged student use of Web resources indirectly through a survey of English faculty, concluded that college students “continue to use open Web resources extensively.

     summary: Although no sta- tistical demographic differences were established, the LUMENS Project demon- strated that interactive multimedia shows were effective teaching tools for library- user education content.3 A study on the impact of librarians in first-year medical and dental problem-based learning pro- viding instruction to small groups found no statistical difference from instruction to large groups.4 In an assessment of the model of teaching the teachers, randomly selected sections of English composition supported the premise that classroom instructors were more effective than either librarians or online tutorials in effective information literacy instruction delivery.5 No statistical significance was found when comparing information literacy instruction in two sections of an under- graduate telecommunications class—one led by an instructor, the other utilizing Web-based content delivery.6 Carter dis- cusses outcome-focused assessments of library research instruction using pre- and post-tests, a itude and usage surveys, and focus groups.7 Incoming provisional students were reported to make sig- nificant gains a er a four-week intensive summer program at Virginia Union University that included an information literacy component.8 Kaplowitz showed statistical significance in a pre- and post- test evaluation of the English 3-Library Instruction Program at the University of California at Los Angeles.9 Methodology This project was designed to develop internal benchmarks and improve the curricula, as needed, of the undergraduate Introduction to Public Speaking (COMM 111) course, offered as a General Education course by the Department of Communica- tion Studies. The tacit assumption that student research confidence in completing their research-based assignments and using library research tools correlates to their research abilities needs to be explored and evaluated with an additional or separate instrument that aims to capture learning outcomes.

He also found that the com- pleteness of information provided for an individual title in the different resources varied: the print volumes tended to have fuller institutional holdings information, but many OCLC records contained more up-to-date data such as the International Standard Serial Number (ISSN).4 A number of studies have compared hit rates between OCLC and RLIN, as well as hit rates for now-defunct bibliographic databases such as the Western Library Net- work (WLN).

     summary: When the content of individual entries is relatively brief and not complexly struc- tured, and the works in question likely to be used on an occasional rather than steady basis, reference works have been relatively easy to transform, although Sarah Wi e and Mary Cargill are reference librarians in Butler Library at Columbia University; e-mail: spurgin@columbia.edu and cargill@columbia.edu. All but Credo are produced by a company that is itself a publisher of reference works.

     summary: Given the high interest in information literacy programs in the profession that has been expressed in many venues, a compilation such as this one is long overdue. A full read- through works best if the reader wants to examine the commonalities in the chal- lenges, advantages, and assessment of various information literacy programs.

     summary: Dougherty ar- gues that anyone concerned about library assessment or library management today should continue to take advantage of the analytical tools developed as part of the 478 College & Research Libraries scientific management movement even if he or she has no desire to embrace the management philosophies they were used to support. It is unusual to find a text focused on operational issues in library management returned to the shelves after a gap in revi- sion of a quarter-century.

     summary: Based on the description of this book, readers would likely expect a theoretical, practical, or contemplative book on the history of image collections, digitization’s impact on image collections, methods of constructing image collections, or points of consideration in defining and building image collections. General audience readers may find the book a useful prompt for discussions on the concept of image collections; however, the book’s description does not lend itself to interesting those readers.

     summary: The authors also provide a theoretical foundation useful for transi- tioning academic libraries and detailed, real-world examples of how certain aca- demic libraries are evolving to meet new challenges in the 21st century. Despite the aforementioned weak- nesses, the authors are largely success- ful in explaining the need for change in academic libraries and the ins and outs of how to go about such change.

     summary: Understanding FRBR consists of thirteen chapters, each written by experienced cata- logers and specialists in their subfi elds. Understanding FRBR is clearly written, well illustrated (many of the concepts are clarified by very helpful diagrams), and well indexed; additionally, chap- ters feature extensive bibliographies, many of which provide the URLs to the IFLA groups’ documents.

     summary: Books are more than texts, Sherman reminds us. In it, Sherman offers a short history of attitudes to “dirty books,” from the efforts of earlier collectors and conserva- tors to rid books of readers’ marks—only clean and cleaned books welcome—to contemporary wisdom on the need to protect the historical integrity of arti- facts—grubbiness is part of the historical record and should be preserved.

     summary: At the same time, despite evidence that they lack basic information literacy skills, students consistently rate themselves as effective users of information.6 To understand how to apply the find- ings in this study more broadly, it is im- portant to comprehend how MIT students vary in information-use practices from students at other universities. Despite common stereotypes, MIT students are more well rounded today than ever before.7 Today’s techies, the traditional mainstay of MIT’s enrollment, are equally a�ractive to top liberal arts schools and are actively re- cruited by them.

      flesch: 42
     summary: In recent years, articles published in Library and Information Science journals have annually received over 10,000 citations; not surprisingly, most of these citations originate in other LIS journals.1 A por- tion of these articles are also cited in journals associated with other academic disciplines and professional fields; how- ever, when compared with the journal literatures of other fields, LIS research a�racts a narrow interdisciplinary citing audience. Thus, without these two titles, the percentage of other field citations would fall from 13.4% (1,931/14,378), to 9.1% (1,026/11,240) of the total citations received. 10.

     summary: For example: • library books in the natural and applied sciences typically circulate just as much as those in other subject areas;16 • the use of electronic books (views or downloads per title) is higher in the sciences than in other fields;17 • engineering and physical science majors check out library books only slightly less o�en than other students;18 • nursing students rely more on books than on journals;19 • in their wri�en coursework, engi- neering students beyond the first year of study cite five times as many books as journal articles;20 • science faculty cite books on a regular basis, and the number of citations per cited book is especially high in the sciences;21 • more than 80 percent of the books acquired by academic health science libraries circulate within the first three years, with an average of 4.6 circulations during that time.22 Circulation data for a typical liberal arts college (table 1) provide further evidence of frequent book use in the sciences. Both undergrad- uate and research libraries now devote 70 to 80 percent of their acquisitions budgets to print and online serials.5 Because the decline in library book acquisitions has coincided with an increase in scholarly book production, academic libraries are able to purchase only a small and dimin- ishing proportion of the important new books published each year.6 This shi� in expenditure pa�erns can be attributed mainly to rising journal prices, especially in the sciences.

     summary: They were asked to provide infor- mation on the status of librarians at their institution: that is, whether or not they hold university faculty status; whether librarians are eligible for tenure or work on contracts; whether specific criteria are used to determine annual merit pay and, if so, what are the criteria; if specific http:criteria.25 One Library’s A empt to Put “Merit” Back in “Merit Pay” 39 criteria are used, are they weighted; are librarians in a unit or department ranked by a supervisor; and, finally, how are li- brarians in different units or departments compared against each other when it comes to distributing merit pay. The chair of the Tenured Task Force requested that the task forces be combined because annual merit evaluations and the distribu- tion of annual merit pay is the same for both tenured and covered librarians.

     summary: Collection development statements were culled from forty-six academic library Web sites based upon the ex- plicit mention of policies regarding the purchase of paperback editions. Additional reasons for considering paperbacks include the improved quality of paperback editions, the ability to add supplemental bindings to paperback editions (especially when heavy use is ex- pected), and the fact that the physical life span of paperback editions o en exceeds the intellectual life span of their content.

     summary: “Nothing is more important than the way we treat each other,” writes Robert Hauptman in the foreword to this slim yet useful volume of case studies in professional ethics. Buchanan and Henderson encourage readers to grapple critically with this question through an exploration of five general themes relevant to librarians: intellectual freedom, privacy, intellectual property, professional ethics, and inter- 300 College & Research Libraries cultural information ethics.

     summary: The second part, “Free Software,” is essentially a history of open source software culture, but Kelty convincingly relates the discussion to how Free Software is a recursive public and something that can be witnessed from the earliest days of soft ware collaboration (and the Internet). Kelty desired to impart a sense of the profound depth of Open Source culture, which is far more than software code, and extends to legal and organizational issues, in addition to technology.

     summary: Several researchers have ap- plied an information quality framework to assess Internet information, and most have found that, although online informa- tion has proliferated at a remarkable rate, the number of Web sites providing com- plete information accounts for only a very small portion of the total. Information completeness is a rela- tively subjective measure, which depends on context, specific domain, or subject.30 Even within a topic, a wide range of scores can be obtained for the criterion “expiation of topic” due to different types of sources.

Three other classes had availability rates above 70 percent: H (Social Sciences)—79.5%; Q (Science)—74.2%; and L (Educa - tion)—71.4% (although the rate for L, as with M, is based on a less than robust da- taset). Although no other investigation of availability found in the literature review is identical to this one, a review of the results from other availability studies provides some context for assessing the results found here.

     summary: Many of the citations derive from Appalachian Studies’ two primary schol- arly journals, Appalachian Journal and the Journal of Appalachian Studies, and from well-known anthologies and readers. There are numerous problems with this bibliography: it lacks name author- ity control (for instance, Pat and Patricia D. Beaver); citation selection appears to be random (for example, it includes Rory Kennedy’s book American Hollow but neither the video documentary upon which it was based nor the extensive “roundtable” discussion it received in Appalachian Journal); it includes mate- rial that is from areas not included in ARC’s or any other previous definition of the region (one example being Louisa County, Virginia, to the east of Appala- chia and Williamson County, Tennessee, to its west); articles are misclassified (for example, folklorist Richard Blaustein’s article on musician Clint Howard is under Appalachian Studies rather than Music); the subject index was apparently computer generated and egregiously in- adequate; and various publications such as the Encyclopedia of Appalachia and three special Appalachian issues of the Black Music Research Journal (full disclosure: I served as guest editor of the latter) were sampled without an explanation of why some articles were included and oth- ers were not (for instance, included are Pearson’s article on Appalachian blues, Higby and Wright’s on Appalachian jazz, Lightfoot’s on white blues but not Zol- ten’s on Appalachian R&B, Davenport’s on great blues singer/poet Ida Cox, or Hay’s on the Appalachian roots of James Brown’s music).

     summary: Roe claims “the first English auction catalogue devoted to music” was issued for the sale of William Gostling’s collection in 1777, though music historian John Hawkins named five earlier auctions (1714–66) and provided details presumably garnered from catalogs no longer extant. In part, this neglect is due to the separations men- tioned by the editors in their Introduction: the means of production and distribution have become significantly different from those of the ordinary book trade, the use of printed music is different as is the size of the market (being at the same time specialized but global).

     summary: This particular volume is dedicated to Caribbean literature and provides a brief historical overview of economic, political, and social development of the region since the discovery of the islands in 1492 and illustrates the impact of these events on Caribbean literature. Though very well compiled, research- ers interested in more in-depth treatment of Caribbean literature or authors might be a little disappointed with the brevity of the volume.

     summary: The growth in the impor- tance of CIO position between these two searches was striking in many respects, including rising status, responsibility, and influence. However, in most cases, the library has kept its IT scope clear but limited—collecting and sharing scholar- ship—and left broader IT services, such as administrative and academic computing, classroom support, computer labs, and tech support to the CIO.

     summary: Most attempts at building models for college students remain theoretical and do not draw on any data from the experiences of students. If a student needs help, a librarian or instructor can shape the advice that is offered to the student by identifying the student’s position in the 3 Directions and urging the student to take the actions that have been used by other students in similar situations and so are most likely to advance them along the dimensions.

     summary: A recent estimate is that conventional library storage can house 145 volumes per square metre (121 per square yard), as compared to high-density repository storage of 373 volumes per square metre (312 per square yard).36 Based on these figures, the saving in li- brary floorspace would amount to some 3,691 square metres (4,429 square yards), which could be replaced by 1,434 square metres (1,721 square yards) of reposi- tory floorspace. The projected Phase 2 will invite the par- ticipation of other research libraries and possibly expand the scheme to include monographs.15

     summary: The first question that it seeks to address is wheth- er similar patterns of monographic usage are observed in this area of literary studies when compared to other studies of mul- tiple disciplines within the humanities7 and by studies of literature.8 In addition, it examines the age of materials referenced in an effort to gain insight into the shelf- life of these materials, as several studies have emphasized.9 This study intends to address these questions by examining the materials referenced in articles found in three well-known journals in the field across a 30-year time span. This finding reflects the trends shown in other studies that emphasize the importance of these book format sources in the humanities as a whole, and in literary studies in particular.

     summary: English professor Carol A. Senf describes bringing her undergraduate Victorian studies class to the Special Collections Department as a means to encourage students move beyond their tendency to use “already digested” secondary sources that were often chosen without much thought.5 Senf also notes that archival sources can dramatically reduce plagiarism, since their individual nature means that sec- ondary sources defining and analyzing a particular document are less likely to exist.6 Additional benefits of course proj- ects conducted in the Special Collections, as detailed by history professor Marian J. Matyn, are an increase in the confidence level of student research and papers that are better informed and more engaging.7 In contrast to these testimonies, Kath- leen D. Roe writes, “The general lack of understanding of archives is painfully evident to the archival profession.”8 The following statements extracted from student papers aim to show a variety of the student observations and sentiments without being redundant.

     summary: Indeed, a primary thesis of the book is that, by integrating a wide array of information sources, institutions, and practices into his administrative system, Book Reviews 79 Colbert became, in effect, the chief infor- mation manager for Louis XIV’s régime or, in Soll’s felicitous phrase, “the informa- tion master” of the French state. Born into a merchant family and trained in the mercantile arts, Colbert en- tered into state administration at an early age and rose to prominence in the 1650s as financial manager for, and administrative factotum to, Cardinal Mazarin, the chief minister of France.

The rest of this chapter is an interesting depiction of the intersection of printers, scholars, and libraries of Leiden, more concrete and particular than some of the more speculative and table-heavy chapters that follow, and more likely to appeal to those readers with an interest in book history rather than economic theory.

     summary: As the merchant classes became more affluent and literate, there was a propor- tional rise in the printing of books in the vernacular, and a spreading prolifera- tion of casual forms of literature such as newspapers. More inexplicable and less forgivable, particularly in a book about books, is the absence of proper citations for many of the illustrations, and the incorrect or in- adequate descriptions given of the same.

     summary: First, we review the relevant literature and discuss implica- tions for our model of earnings attainment in library science. According to Stephanie Maatta, women comprise about 80 percent of the entire library sci- ence workforce and 74 percent of jobs in academic libraries.5 As with other female- dominated professions, this has led to some negative perceptions of the field.6 Some argue that librarians are perceived as less professional than other profes- sions because of their focus on service.7 Others argue that it is the result of its composition of women and its image as a feminized profession.8 As it relates to salaries and earnings attainment, what is happening in library science is consistent with similar developments in other fields.

     summary: In an era when print reference texts are a hard sell in any context, the real value of a subject dictionary like this one is the access it gives researchers to authoritative, objective snapshots of a field of study. And perhaps this is why many reference texts are produced not by single authors but by editors who seek contributions from a cross- section of scholars and researchers.

     summary: Although it deals with a world of information production, packaging, dis- semination, and reception that initially might seem foreign to our modern under- standings of these concepts, Christianity and the Transformation of the Book clearly reveals that a better understanding of book culture in the ancient world can teach us much about textual culture— whether print or digital—today. It also played host to a large and active scriptorium whose scribes produced books for the entire Christian world.

     summary: Mainstream newsrooms, however, like the rest of America society, remained largely segregated well into the mid-twen- tieth century and consequently restricted the work of African American journalists solely to black-owned presses. Through the application of standpoint theory, Hall explores how these autobiographical memoirs fit within the framework and tradition of African American autobiog- raphy and why each narrative possesses within it the distinctiveness of manifesto by critiquing the social, psychological, economic, and political dynamics operat- ing within their personal and professional lives as African American journalists.

     summary: The percentage of available OA articles is the same, though, as the findings of Matsubayashi and others in their study of the biomedical literature.29 However, while their study found most articles were available on publisher Web sites, this study found that the most common place for OA works to be found was depart- mental or organization Web sites.30 Only 36, or 14 percent of all OA articles, were found on publisher Web sites. Even though it is possible to discover OA articles using a variety of resources, such as Google, CiteSeerX or OAIster, Google Scholar was chosen as studies have shown that the vast majority of scholars regularly use it in their research.

     summary: The following section presents the results for the research questions regard- ing faculty status for academic librarians; perceptions on faculty status for academic librarians based on the gender, tenure sta- tus, and academic rank of respondents; the curricula that prepare librarians for em- ployment in academic libraries; the termi- nal degree(s) for academic librarians; the manner in which faculty status librarians should be evaluated; participation in col- lege or university governance by faculty status academic librarians; the compensa- tion of faculty status academic librarians; and sabbaticals and research release time for academic librarians with faculty status. Library school faculty members strongly agreed (M = 4.94), and with little variation (SD = 0.24), that courses in the essential elements of experimental and nonexperi- mental research should be required of stu- dents seeking a doctoral degree in Library Science.

     summary: This paper describes the many challenges faculty librarians face in balancing their work load with service and scholarship; justifies why academic librarians need tenure; and ultimately proves that tenure and faculty status for academic librarians are an absolute necessity. This is due to incorrect perceptions about what academic librarians do and how they serve their profes- sion.

     summary: Thirty active social sciences and humanities faculty, as well as doctoral students, were interviewed about their use of electronic information resources for research purposes, their perception of electronic and print materials, their opinions concerning the Ellis model, and ways the model might apply to them. The model includes six fundamental charac- teristics of information seeking: starting, chaining, browsing, differentiating, monitor- ing, and extracting.1 This study seeks to understand how electronic information resources affect the information-seeking processes in the social sciences and humanities.

     summary: Crosscutting the distinction between description labor and search labor is a further distinction between semantic and syntactic labor. Such transfers are possible, in Warner’s estimation, because these technologies are themselves the products of human labor and designed with specifically hu- man purposes in mind: historically, there has been a tendency to delegate as many processes of human labor as possible to technological tools.

     summary: Significantly, though, both types of searches require semantic search labor, for the onus is on the searcher to disambiguate and inter- pret the results of a full-text search. Because, in Warner ’s view, semantic labor is categorically not transferable to machines, any reduction in semantic description labor entails an increase in semantic search labor.

     summary: What common ground exists between old books and e-books? Other essays address the importance of descriptive bibliogra- phy and the “heretical” work of Donald F. McKenzie, the love of reading and the work of seventeenth century British bibliophile William Drake, as well as the book’s closing essay, the appropriately titled “What Is the History of Books?” Through it all, Darnton holds true to his own love of books, be they electronic texts or eighteenth-century French tomes, and invites us to share his enthusiasm through a series of reasoned, thoughtful essays.

     summary: © Hannah Gascho Rempel This article discusses findings from a longitudinal research study that examined the way graduate students carry out the literature review and how they were impacted by attending a library literature review workshop. The literature review research process serves as an important gateway for graduate students into their scholarly communities’ practices and can be a logical place for librarians to offer assistance.

     summary: Access Control Technologies as “Regimes of Alignment” License agreements between information providers and academic libraries defined users in contractual terms, but, over the past fifteen years, providers and libraries have worked together to develop and maintain systems of access control tech- nologies (ACTs) that enable and enforce the conceptions of authorized users laid out in license agreements. As variations in access became a product feature and pricing point, questions about who should have access became more important.33 Social Construction of Authorized Users in the Digital Age 553 Meanwhile, many information pro- viders hoped to expand to the end-user market under a pay-per-view business model.34 For example, in 1991, Collier, a British publisher, predicted that 99 percent of potential information users were end users who would individually purchase information.35 Wider access to e-resources from academic libraries could compete with attempts to market information directly to end users.

     summary: I maintain that understanding the process by which such distinctive services develop and contribute to the evolving mission of the 21st-century research library is as critical to its future as is understanding the environment for resource sharing, the need to rethink retention of print collections, or the challenges inherent in supporting e-scholarship. ARL has not yet chosen to “celebrate” the distinctive services of its member libraries in the way it did their special collections, but it has taken important steps by including studies of services in its “New Roles for New Times” initiative, and by bringing a services focus to its series of institutional profiles.4 O ver t he past t h ree yea rs, we at the University of Illinois at Urbana- Champaign have conducted an ongoing discussion of services as “signifiers of excellence” on par with our long-time focus on collections.

     summary: While they had believed that IR users would primarily want to have access to a collec- tion of the published research materials of faculty and graduate students, their study indicated that potential users want to have a network in which they can share teaching and learning materials, find po- tential collaborators, and promote their research to colleagues. We also do not know who end-users are, how they are using IR content, and how satisfied they are with the quality of IR content.34 In the following sections, the results from our interviews with diverse IR end-users will be presented with the hope that these findings will be useful in beginning to fill this gap in the literature and in acquainting IR managers with end-users in a less quantitative and more actionable way.

     summary: Subsequent unpublished statistics from San Jose State University have shown increasing growth in document clickthroughs and an appar- ent online acceptance.16 Other libraries have also implemented URL tracking prefixes to document URLs, but no publications of their projects have been produced to date. A publication comparing online access with print circulation is forthcom- ing.19 Brigham Young University – Idaho (Rexburg) also appends a prefix before document URLs and uses these numbers to get an overall feel for how many docu- ments are being accessed.20 At the 2009 Fall Depository Library Conference, a panel presentation featured the clickthrough projects of the University of Denver, San Jose State University, Auburn University, Louisiana State University, Brigham Young University – Idaho, and the University of Colorado at Boulder.21

     summary: Even though the history, sociology, and information science departments could no doubt use a systematic examination of information policies from either the historiography or methodological frame- works, Information Policies and Strategies will likely only benefit academic libraries that support library science programs, where information professionals can use it as a catalyst for developing concrete studies of how information policies are developed.—Timothy Hensley, Virginia Holocaust Museum. Despite this omission, he begins with a brief survey of how information has contributed to, and even shaped, our society and uses this position as a backdrop of assumptions for the remainder of the book, attempting to demonstrate how each of the forthcoming areas he investigates influences the way in which we handle information policies.

     summary: Even though the history, sociology, and information science departments could no doubt use a systematic examination of information policies from either the historiography or methodological frame- works, Information Policies and Strategies will likely only benefit academic libraries that support library science programs, where information professionals can use it as a catalyst for developing concrete studies of how information policies are developed.—Timothy Hensley, Virginia Holocaust Museum. If one understands that “international students, ” means, for the purposes of this book, non-North American (that is, foreign) students and not North American students whose academic lives have a strong interna- tional focus, then one can appreciate this well-written and important book and be enlightened by the information it contains about providing academic library ser- vices to a growing non-North American student body.

     summary: The opening chapter begins with the author making a case for why librar- ies should be involved in promoting diversity awareness and examines who multicultural librarians are. This well-designed, concisely written, and accessible survey is an essential re- source for librarians who work regularly - —or even rarely—with international students.

     summary: In light of the above discussion on knowledge, knowledge management, and knowledge sharing, the following section will focus on personality characteristics (self-efficacy and self-esteem) and situa- tional characteristics (cognitive appraisal: threat versus challenge) that might affect librarians’ readiness to collaborate and share information with other librarians in an organization. Many researchers,2 however, have claimed that knowledge sharing is the most critical hurdle for knowledge management.

      flesch: 52
     summary: So, to calculate the impact, we used the following equation to find what a change in the ratio of professional library staff will cause in the expected mean retention rate: β1 * log10 (X), where β1 is the regression coefficient and X is the percentage change; 1.1, for example, indicates an increase in 10 per- cent. In other words, in the population from which the sample was drawn, a 10 percent increase in the ratio of professional library staff predicts a 0.72 percent increase in retention.

     summary: While scientific researchers favor journal article publishing for sharing research dis- covery in a timely manner, social sciences and humanities scholars tend to employ books as a better channel for disseminat- ing intellectual output.10 In the electronic environment, with the ever-growing number of Web information resources available in greater depth, a logical ques- tion follows: Do Web resources influence the citation behavior of scholars in dif- ferent fields? This article examines Web resources in research articles from 30 schol- arly journals in disciplines across the sciences, social sciences, and humanities.

     summary: On May 4, 1515, Pope Leo X issued a pe- culiar and remarkable decree, the Super impressione librorum (On the printing of books). In it, the Pope acknowledges a deep-seated sociocultural anxiety about the new technology of printing, stating that, although the reading of books can be a profitable pursuit for those seeking knowledge and the invention of printing has helped spread truth and learning more widely and inexpensively than ever before, the very same technology that en- ables the dissemination of truth also facili- tates the transmission and perpetuation of pernicious error that corrupts rather than edifies the reader.

     summary: Moving forward into the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, Volume II offers several compelling articles deal- ing with the production and selling of printed books, such as Natalie Zemon Davis’ fascinating account of the activi- ties and concerns of the Company of the Griffarins, a Lyonese trade union of journeymen compositors and pressmen; Clive Griffin’s revealing description of Book Reviews 301 the usefulness of Inquisitorial records as sources for insight into the itinerant lives of printers in sixteenth-century Spain; John L. Flood’s look at the rise and decline of the Frankfurt Fair and its impact on the commercial distribution of books across Europe during the Early Modern period; and Ian Maclean’s informative analysis of the market for scholarly books in northern Europe between 1570 and 1630. Each volume features essays on technical aspects of book pro- duction, such as G.S. Ivy’s classic descrip- tion of the codicology and production of manuscript books; T. Julian Brown’s broad but extremely useful overview of the evolution of handwriting from the late-antique to late-medieval periods; Graham Pollard’s explanation of the vari- ous forms and techniques of bookbinding in the Middle Ages; and Blaise Agüera y Arcas’ and Nicolas Barker’s close stud- ies of elements of Gutenberg’s DK-Type and the origin of the Aldine italic type.

     summary: As informative and wide-ranging as the contents of these two volumes may be, in the end they can only be a repre- sentative sample of the many different approaches to book history that scholars have undertaken over the past several de- cades. Volume II concludes with David Cressy’s article on the nonlit- erary fetishistic use of books as symbolic objects of talismanic power; even for the illiterate, Cressy argues, books embodied knowledge and authority.

     summary: Our review process, similar to that of other peer re- view scholarly journals, works like this: step one, manuscript (without author information) screened by an editorial assistant for worthiness of peer review; step two, manuscript (without author information) reviewed by two or more referees; and step three, editor makes final decision based on peer reviews and own evaluation. With ACRL support, we moved our journal’s manuscript sub- mission and peer review processes from a manual operation to an online system called “Editorial Manager” from Aries Systems.

     summary: Students Use More Books after Library Instruction 341 for nearly half of their citations, while FGCU students used them for only a third of their citations.9 A comparison to other institutions of higher learning demonstrates that the FGCU students are similar to other students across the United States in that they are relying on traditional sources like books and, at least among the higher level classes, do not rely heavily on Web sites.

      flesch: 39
     summary: Although there has been too little dialogue between library use studies and other forms of bibliometric analysis, the work that has taken place in libraries and the recent breakthroughs analyzing users’ “clickstreams” generally agree in show- ing that actual use of subject literatures in all fields is more interdisciplinary than citation patterns had ever suggested, and that the use of books, which generates rel- atively few citations in many disciplines, is more interdisciplinary than the use of journals. Research Previous to the Original Study and in the Intervening Years The 1982 study built upon previous work in two main areas: 1) studies of library use and 2) an extensive literature in bibliomet- rics, particularly its use of citation links to trace dependency relationships among various fields of knowledge.

      flesch: 53
     summary: There is great variation in the size of OA journals; the largest publishes more than 2,700 articles per year, but half publish 25 or fewer. For example, 27 percent of the 174 journals in the Web of Science general medicine and research medicine categories are Open Access, and another 14 percent are hybrid journals that provide free access after an embargo period or for certain types of articles.2 From September 2004 to August 2010, the number of titles listed in the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ) rose from 1,250 to more than 5,200.3 However, other evidence suggests that the number of new OA journals introduced each year has declined since its peak in 2001.4 In any case, OA journals appear to be growing in importance among college and university faculty.

     summary: Chapter 7 examines the possibility of connecting traditional knowledge organization, personal knowledge organization, and socially created knowledge organization to create structures for organizing knowl- edge that “reflect the actual information practices and engagement needs of us- ers,” with chapter 8 discussing possible scenarios for achieving this in the library world, ranging from a merged structure blending traditional bibliographic records with socially constructed fields added to creating an entirely new structure for bibliographic records. As the library grows to include more digital resources and users begin to create their own metadata, librarians must expand their concepts of knowledge organization beyond traditional means of description and classification.

     summary: Like other advice throughout the book, the importance of wide access is directly related to fiscal responsibility and to sustainability, because closed access means that materials are less useful for students, researchers, and publicity and so lower access levels can undermine the return on investment and overall value of digital repository work. In the Preface, Clobridge explains that her goal in writing the book was to have it serve both as an introduc- tory text for those new and starting out in digital repositories and for it to be useful for repository practitioners as well as those outside of but related to reposi- tory programs, including library and IT directors.

     summary: Whereas such artists as George Cruikshank had employed art as social satire in creating prints or illustrating books, the artists of the Sixties worked in a more academic style to produce realistic drawings that were “both escapist and satirical, highly moral and overwhelmed with a sense of archaic dreaminess.” Such artists as George du Maurier, John Everett Millais, Frederick Sandys, and Frederick Walker worked directly with George Murray Smith, publisher of The Cornhill Magazine, and with John Cassell (The Quiver) and James Hogg (London Society).

      flesch: 48
     summary: Assessing Academic Libraries The question of how best to measure efficacy of academic libraries has been debated for many years during which most assessment and evaluation studies have focused on modifying corporate or business models. While corporate models have beneficial elements that might be ap- plied in library settings, particularly those related to customer service evaluation, they are simply not enough to get the full picture of an academic library’s value, and many commentaries on the limitations of such methodologies are in the literature.5 These criticisms sensibly question specific trends or the application of such evalua- tive methods in academic libraries, but rarely are they accompanied by concrete solutions or means for improvement.

     summary: The study seeks to reveal whether or not students are using SFX, and, if so, how they are using it.

       title: The Medieval Book: Glosses from Friends and Colleagues of Christopher de Hamel. Eds. James H. Marrow, Richard A. Linenthal, and William Noel. Houten, Netherlands: Hes & De Graaf Publishers, 2010. xxxii + 468p. clothbound, $95 (ISBN 9879061943709). LC2011-417859.

     summary: However, the book fails to touch on a highly controversial but vitally important issue: circulating e-book readers in librar- ies. Throughout his career as a scholar, dealer, and librarian, de Hamel has con- sistently demonstrated his mastery of palaeography, codicology, the study of bindings, manuscript illumination and decoration, the processes of manuscript production, the history of the manuscript trade from medieval to modern times, and the complex provenance histories of medieval books, to name only a few relevant subjects.

     summary: For example, the directory only includes digital collections from the following established organiza- tions: governmental body, library, ar- chives, educational institution, museum, corporation, or a scholar’s personal Web site. Those who work in a library, archive, museum, cultural or educational institution, etc. will benefit greatly from this directory by expanding their knowledge about digital collections but also will be able to provide inquisitive customers with an invaluable resource to begin their exploration of digital col- lections around the world.—Katie Nash, Elon University.

     summary: In addition, an al- ternative framework called the ecological model is proposed as an improved meta- phor for describing decision making. However, while the author goes to great lengths to explain the complexity of group dynamics in decision making, his concluding remarks are parsimonious in regard to practical application of his results.

     summary: It was not surprising that career school students generally showed little interest in using the library. Also proposed are policy changes requiring for-profits to disclose their job place- ment rates, requiring vocational schools receiving federal aid dollars to ensure their students are prepared for “gainful employment,”52 and imposing penalties upon for-profit schools whose students graduate with a debt-to-earnings ratio that is too high.53 Given the intensive lob- bying efforts of the for-profit institutions, it remains to be seen which new policies will actually be implemented.

     summary: This study has implications for library directors and administrators, organizational development specialists, and leadership trainers. Academic libraries may be in the pro- cess of reengineering their workforces, engaging faculty, creatively applying digital media, refining digitization pro- grams, creating tools for data curation across disciplines, publishing digital scholarship, and integrating the latest technology with teaching and learning.3 Entrepreneurship has been a popular business term since the 1980s, and many organizations have tried to become more entrepreneurial in recent years to compete with smaller, adaptable startups.4 With much change occurring throughout many academic institutions, library directors have opportunities to use entrepreneurial leadership to transform their organiza- crl-192 12 College & Research Libraries January 2012 tions to meet the changing information and service needs of users, even while under fiscal constraints.

      flesch: 33
     summary: Literature Review While online LI activities are increasingly becoming key components of many aca- demic libraries’ overall instruction plans, comparatively little has been written about the accounting or reporting of such activities. Most researchers have concluded that method of delivery (F2F vs. online vs. mixed) appears not to greatly impact the effectiveness of or satisfaction with LI, indicating that properly planned and executed online LI activities can be suit- able adjuncts or substitutes for F2F LI.14 Research in all of the above areas is vital to the continued success of academic libraries, especially in a higher education environment where accountability and assessment are increasingly important.15 There can be no doubt that academic librarians need to continue to explore issues of user satisfaction, the measure- ment and benchmarking of information literacy skills, and the effectiveness and perception of various forms of LI.

     summary: Examining data on ILL requests for locally owned titles is an invaluable way to evaluate how well researchers are finding materials in their own library and how well library interfaces are assisting them in locating what they need. One way to assess the usability and effec- tiveness of WorldCat Local is to examine ILL requests placed by users for locally available materials when searching WCL, as ILL cancellations for local materials are often viewed as indicators of researchers’ ability to navigate resources and services at their own libraries.

     summary: Carnegie Mellon holds as many copies as the Morgan Library (three), though one of the Morgan’s copies is on vellum. In the 1980s, copies of the KC began moving to Japan in such quantities that Japan now ranks third on the sweeps list after the United States and the United Kingdom.

      flesch: 44
     summary: Case studies have also demon- strated the positive impact on the quality of student bibliographies of instructor guidelines for citations,24 inquiry-based library instruction,25 and a credit-bearing library instruction course.26 Multiple factors that may influence student bibliography outcomes have been studied, including comparisons of citation practices by student class year, discipline and source types;27 between students liv- ing on-campus and off-campus;28 between class year and number and variety of sources cited;29 and between student work at traditional vs. nontraditional institu- tions30 and multiple campuses.31 Studies A Faceted Taxonomy for Rating Student Bibliographies 119 have also investigated any correlation between number of citations and word count of the paper32 and between number of citations and final grade.33 Another common use of citation analy- sis by librarians is as a measurement tool of library ownership of materials11 and for collection development.12 In this model, student citations are counted and used as a measurement of which journals and other library materials are most and least used by students, and the results are used to guide purchase or discontinuation of materials.

        date: 2012
       words: 8486
      flesch: 28
     summary: In passing, it might be noted that the 2010–2012 stra- tegic plan of the Canadian Association of Research Libraries (CARL), the lead- ership organization for the Canadian research library community, calls on the Association to “work to develop research skills in research libraries and to promote evidence-based librarianship”; and, more recently, CARL published a new model “Core Competencies for 21st Century CARL Librarians,” which addresses re- search and professional contributions as a key component of practitioner expertise.3 Vicki Williamson (2010) undertook an informal questionnaire survey of academ- ic librarians’ faculty status and publishing requirements within the 29 members of CARL.4 Among the 19 responding insti- tutions (66%), the survey found that 14 (73%) had faculty status (although it was noted by one respondent that librarians had faculty status but not tenure). In a study that served as a precursor to the University of Saskatchewan assess- ment project, Schrader, in collaboration with colleagues Kathleen De Long, Al- lison Sivak, and Diane Clark, surveyed the current levels of research knowledge, experience, interests, competencies, and learning needs of academic librarians at the University of Alberta Libraries (UAL), which serves faculty, staff, and students at one of the largest research-intensive universities in Canada; the UAL survey instrument was used as a template for developing and refining the University of Saskatchewan approach.

     summary: For the purposes of this study, survey respondents were divided into two groups: archivists with and archivists without library responsibilities. Archivists with library responsibilities, or dual archivist/librarians, commented on a range of responsibilities that they find both beneficial and challenging.

     summary: “The department does not have any policy cautioning authors about wider exposure and higher citations to their OA articles and therefore publishing in OA journals should not be viewed as a barrier in tenure and promotion!” ~ Neuroscience Faculty Member Special Features of OA Journals Prior to our discussions with faculty, we identified some publishing features that are characteristic of OA journals and asked researchers about the relative importance of these features. It will also support OA authors for whom cost is a barrier.7 Publishing in open access journals is commonly referred to as gold OA, in contrast to green OA, which embraces self-archiving of final peer-reviewed man- uscripts in an institutional or disciplinary repository.8 York University Libraries support both forms of OA publishing.

But new and novice teaching librarians are not the only ones who will benefit from this book; seasoned veteran teach- ing librarians will also be stimulated and inspired by the ideas and strategies pre- sented in McGuinness’s text.

It skillfully blends scholarship, historical inquiry, and archival science into a seam- less whole, something archivists, scholars, and writers often attempt to do but do not achieve as neatly as Wosh does here.

     summary: As I thought about topics such as the range of considerations in the preplanning stage of instructional design, how I might use the “Learning Activity Collaborative Plan- ning Checklist” to work more effectively with course instructors, and how I might employ agile design, I realized that Farm- er’s book has expanded my perspectives as a teacher and as a librarian.—Glenn Ellen Starr Stilling, Appalachian State University. Farmer follows Robert A. Reiser’s and John V. Dempsey’s 2007 definition of instructional design as an iterative process that moves reflectively through the stages of analysis, design, development, implementation, and evalu- ation.

        date: 2012
       words: 7509
      flesch: 44
     summary: Such research will necessarily be ambitious, requiring not only evaluation of written products as artifacts of learning but incorporating the analysis of student research logs and interviews at multiple points throughout the student career of the research subjects. The less obvious implication for instruction, then, is this: undergraduate students, already familiar with search practice, when provided with adequate conceptual foregrounding and sufficient practice with academic research tools, can easily be placed in a position to counsel and coach their peers both as reference providers and as providers of information literacy instruction.

     summary: Increased access to research data will allow for verification and replication of results, provide a foundation for ad- ditional research, and increase the overall transparency of science. Scientists and scholars are increasingly generating vast amounts of digital content in the form of learning materials, publica- tions, and research data, yet data in digital form is extremely fragile due to limited standards for and adoption of good prac- tices.19 Most academic libraries support the delivery and maintenance of text- based collections in a variety of print and digital formats, as well as the management and delivery of images, multimedia files, sound, maps, and various other artifacts of 352 College & Research Libraries July 2012 research and culture.20 University libraries are increasingly recognizing that patrons have as-yet unmet needs for the manage- ment of research data sets.

     summary: Most literature looks at reference competencies either for a specific service model such as virtual reference, or a specific type of library like an academic health or law library. Despite the changing nature of the job, few studies have considered reference competencies more broadly from the employer’s point of view.

     summary: The remaining chapters report on specific themes discovered through ex- amination of the interview transcripts; with one exception, the analyses focus only on responses from single institu- tions, meaning that each article relies on interview transcripts from, at most, twenty-three subjects. The first chapter, by three XC project members from University of Rochester, provides a helpful overview of XC and explains the rationale for conducting user research for the project.

     summary: Several of the obstacles to conducting research are: reported lack of time to complete a research project, unfamiliar- ity with the research process, lack of support for research (both emotional and monetary), lack of access to research, lack of confidence, discouraging jargon, inad- equate education in research methods, and lack of motivation.7 Despite the benefits of conducting research and their desire to conduct re- search, the reasons that librarians may not conduct research are as diverse as our population. Our focus on academic librarians was also supported; Luo notes, “Academic librarians were more motivated than Academic Librarian Research 439 public librarians in pursing knowledge in research methods via continuing educa- tion, and those who engaged in research at work were more interested in continu- ing education opportunities than those who did not.”17 Institute for Research Design in Librarianship The purpose of conducting this study was to find ways in which the research- ers might support academic librarians in their efforts to conduct research and dis- seminate the results.

     summary: Academic libraries cannot be treated as a homogenous group of institutions, and the study analyzes shifts by type, size, and Carnegie class of institution, illustrating significant difference among these classes of academic libraries, particularly among large doctoral institutions and other academic libraries, with large public and doctoral private institutions driving growth, while small and medium-sized academic libraries have fallen behind in both collections and staff investments. or decades, at professional meetings and in the profes- sional literature, librarians have voiced the view that academic library budgets are being eroded and constrained. Conclusions The study confirms a number of findings from previous studies and discussions regarding academic library trends, while also demonstrating some countervailing evidence regarding previously held no- tions about academic libraries.

Perhaps one of the most dramatic responses to this era of change has been libraries’ in- creased emphasis on information literacy.

     summary: Finally, Donald G. Davis, Jr. (profes- sor emeritus of library history at the University of Texas at Austin) submits a succinct but intriguing view of “Interna- tional Trends in Library History,” which serves as a sort of capstone to the volume. Mary Niles Maack, Professor Emerita of UCLA’s Department on Information Studies, has edited an admirable volume dedicated to John Y. Cole, the “foremost expert on the history of the Library of Congress,” and, as the founder of the Center for the Book, a significant figure in promoting the history of the book and library history.

     summary: There has been broader concern for some time about the value of product reviews in the digital environ- ment, including book reviews,4 but the Chronicle story demonstrated how the An Embarrassment of Riches: Ethics and Scholarly Publishing in the Digital Environment tactics employed by unscru- pulous reviewers of commercial services might be finding their way into the pre- sumably more rigorous environment of scholarly peer review.

Jantz, Attribution-NonCommercial (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/) CC BY-NC The objective of this paper is two-fold: to propose a theoretical framework and model for studying organizational innovation in research librar- ies and to set forth propositions that can provide directions for future empirical studies of innovation in research libraries.

      flesch: 34
     summary: Hanrong Wang, Yingqi Tang, and Carley Knight scanned reference job ads posted in C&RL News from 1966 to 2009 to track the historical development of the profession.11 Examining reference posi- tions, they calculated the number of open positions, educational background, duties and responsibilities of the position, and variations in job titles. Indeed, for- mal instructional duties appeared almost as often as reference service duties (which appeared in 98.9 percent of the ads) and were often emphasized as core responsibilities, either through prominent placement in a position title (such as “Instruction and Research Services Li- brarian” or “Reference and Instruction Librarian”) or through extended state- ments regarding teaching, pedagogy, and/or instruc- tional design.

      flesch: 43
     summary: In upcoming studies, the Library Theft Database team will continue to analyze and gather data to determine further patterns in the occurrence and handling of library theft cases. This climate of disclosure frequently extends to the active pursuit of thieves, including the willingness among libraries to press charges or to publicize the loss in an effort to recover the stolen artifact.1 Libraries have begun to engage in collaboration among themselves and with other groups, such as associations of book dealers, in producing databases and lists that are commonly disseminated online in an ef- fort to lead to the identification of stolen material and to ensure its return.2 Though library theft is being discussed more frequently as a major issue in the discipline, many elements related to theft remain poorly understood.

     summary: Few citation studies of monographs have been done, mostly due to the dif- ficulty of selecting an appropriate group of monographs to study. Several existing citation studies have compared the rate of citations to mono- graphs as opposed to journal articles; however, for several reasons, the major- ity of those studies analyze the citations found in journal articles.

     summary: Rita Kohrman of Grand Valley State University and Suzan A. Alteri of Wayne State University provide illuminating histories of the develop- ment of curriculum laboratories at normal schools (vocational schools for teacher preparation) and subsequent changes in higher education that led to a devaluation of practical teacher training and hence the closing of many CMCs. Jo Ann Carr of the University of Wisconsin-Madison also maintains that national trends in teacher education indi- cate that CMCs can serve as “educational technology resource centers.”

     summary: Although there are 12 distinct chapters, the book can be broken down (though not sequentially) into three main topics: the increased need for libraries to provide digital access to both its catalog and the materials described therein, including databases and e-books; the technological developments and challenges presented by remotely accessed resources (includ- ing user validation, mobile devices, and the integration of library materials into course-management software); and newer developments such as specifically devel- oped digital collections and social media as a means of access. Chapters 8–10 discuss newer devel- opments in access to library materials.

     summary: The final section, Obesity, Overload, and Opportunity seems both ambitious and forward-thinking, featur- ing discussions of the political nature of IL instruction, the impact to IL of sweep- ing changes to modes of communication and learning, and the use of assessment measures to identify specific areas of IL instruction in the United Kingdom that may merit revised or additional instruc- tion. Stylistically, the articles run the gamut from Gareth Johnson’s very practical, nuts-and-bolts treatment of video and film production for IL instruction to An- drew Whitworth’s fairly esoteric discus- sion of IL and “noöpolitics,” a perspective produced, according to Whitworth, when “a resource-based analysis of politics, or ‘geopolitics,’ [extends] into the sphere of information.”

     summary: Branch campus library services com- bine facets of working with international students and providing library services for distance education programs, but limited studies have been published thus far on such work. In a 2002 study, Suzanne Gyeszly examined the interlending ser- vices between the Texas A&M and Texas A&M at Qatar campus libraries and also conducted a 2010 comparative analysis of the collection development and circula- tion services of the six university libraries in Qatar’s Education City.35 Gyeszly and Matthew Ismail analyzed the collection development policies at the American University of Sharjah, including how the collection was carefully built to serve the needs of the students at the American University of Sharjah.36 Charles Gilreath also examined the collection development of the university library at Texas A&M at Qatar, in which he explored how the Tex- as A&M at Qatar Library built a collection of digital and print resources with a rela- tively low physical footprint.37

The unifying theme of this collection is that, despite the hard work and accomplish- ments of black librarianship’s preeminent activists and scholars, such as Josey, there still remains much work to be done, “glass ceilings to be shattered, closed doors to be opened.”

     summary: Indeed, Josey influences every page in this comprehensive volume with his work providing inspiration and guidance to black librarians in America. Racism in the profession of librarianship continues to obstruct recruitment of black librarians to the field and their advancement in the profession.

     summary: “What Will Learners Do?” begins with an ex- planation of learning styles, includes a list of teaching methods (lecture, model- ing/demonstration, collaborative group work, and so on), and tables highlighting the advantages and drawbacks of each. Though much of the discussion is theoretical, numerous citations (many annotated) provide the instruction practitioner with an entry point into the intimidating literature on teaching theory and practice.—Timothy Hackman, University of Maryland.

     summary: This scenario begs several questions: who owns government documents that have, for one reason or another, slipped into the hands of private dealers and col- lectors? The book then describes both the emer- gence of the archival profession and the nature of the collectors’ market, providing a succinct table that outlines the curatorial differences between individual collectors, government archivists, and nongovern- ment institutional curators.

     summary: Notably, they conclude with an appendix of ideas for how subject librarians can leverage library services toward the ends of interdisciplinary work. Evelyn Ehrlich and Angela Carreño (Chapter 8) focus on the role of the subject librarian and outline what they see as two distinct phases of effects originating from the in- terdisciplinary turn in higher education.

Perhaps we will begin volume 75 with a nod to our past by titling our first editorial, “Re-Introducing College and Research Libraries: Why Another Electronic Library Journal?” Whatever we do with this journal that we have shared for as long as any of us have been librarians, we will owe a debt to Joe Branin.

     summary: The investiga- tion includes an examination of how frequently education faculty seek or access information, how they stay up-to-date on current developments in the field and identify less recent journal literature, how valuable library resources and services are to their information needs, and the impor- tance of library research to the field of education. The responses from the survey participants emphasize the importance of electronic access to scholarly journals and library databases and the continuing value of books, both print and electronic, for meeting the information and research needs of education faculty.

But, be- cause publisher data is not the whole story of SFTARs, as time allows, librarians must also pay attention to SFTARs for Big Deal journals from overlap provid- ers’ platforms.

     summary: These last two appeared as central characters in the most recent debate over faculty status for academic librarians, which played out last month around an article published in The Chronicle of Higher Education re- garding the decision to eliminate faculty appointments for new librarians at the University of Virginia and a proposal to “revoke” faculty status from librarians at East Carolina University.2 In describing the rationale behind these efforts, Karin Wittenborg, University Li- brarian at Virginia, noted that “libraries are in a time of dramatic and continuing change,” and Maureen Sullivan, the American Library Association President also serving as an organizational-de- velopment consultant to East Carolina, reminded Chronicle readers that “there is a difference between the work and role of the teaching faculty… and the work and role of librarians. As anyone reading their argument must conclude, the question of faculty status for librarians (whether with or without provisions for the awarding of tenure) is a complicated one.

     summary: The findings reveal the need to improve the image services offered by academic libraries and strengthen undergraduates’ information literacy with respect to image search and use. However in practice, de- signers need to keep a balance between providing multiple points of access and avoiding cognitive overload.63 Therefore, it is essential to understand image users deeper.

     summary: Jeffrey Peachey, a conservator in private practice, addresses concepts pertinent to private book conservation labs, and Claire Hoevel provides guidance on the devel- opment of labs for paper conservation. Eleven other authors—one in private practice and the rest associated with the preservation and conservation facilities of major institutions in the United States— contributed practical essays that address varied aspects of project planning, speci- fications for equipment and specialized functions, and considerations unique to private conservation labs and those that focus on flat paper collections.

     summary: With the growing expectation of us- ers to access collections through online tools, Hackbart-Dean and Slomba argue that processing plans now need to ac- commodate a range of access tools and descriptive standards (MARAC21, EAD, Dublin Core, and METS). Institutions also have to adjust processing plans for item-level cataloging and metadata cre- ation to ensure digital access.

     summary: The first-year writing curriculum was being revamped at the same time that the lesson study was being conducted; as a result, lesson study librarians were invited to help plan the integration of li- brary instruction into the new curriculum. Specifically, lesson study is an examination of practice that challenges teachers to examine their goals for a les- son as well as student response to them.

     summary: The researchers asked seniors the same six questions they analyzed for the chapter “First-Generation College Students: Their Research Process” in the ERIAL project book College Libraries and Student Culture: What We Now Know.22 Because the original ERIAL project at UIC targeted freshmen to gather information before students’ experience at UIC had informed their expectations of its library, researchers did not interview college seniors at that time. Many seniors also mentioned a variety of different databases by name, many of them fairly special- 408 College & Research Libraries July 2013 ized, including PsycINFO, LexisNexis, and Hoovers.

     summary: After a brief introduction to RDA and how it relates to FRAD, Jin provides 18 examples of brief RDA authority records, each with an explanation of how they use the FRAD concepts to describe and clarify entities and their relationships to other entities: while the structure of an RDA authority record is, at root, similar to that of an AACR2 authority record, RDA (and the FRAD structure) allows for greater levels of description and for clearer delineation of the relationships between concepts. Jin states, in her introduction, that the book is to “provide a basic explanation of the Functional Requirements for Author- ity Data (FRAD)”; she goes above and beyond this statement of principles in a clearly written, copiously illustrated, and well-organized book that truly does “demystify” FRAD and illustrates how to create authority records according to the principles thereof.

     summary: “Research is integrated into the whole fabric of modern-day society,” begins Lukenbill in writing Research in Information Studies; the second and equally important foundation for his writing is that intel- lectual theory is central to the heart of all kinds of research, including library and information science. Research is viewed as multidisciplinary, completely integrated with theoretical con- cepts, and completely a part of human life; this chapter includes a nuanced parsing of theory and research in a broad variety of “research traditions.”

     summary: This paper reports the findings from the focus groups con- ducted with students who demonstrated below-proficient skills on an objective, standardized test of information literacy6 and discusses implications for designing instruction for such students as well as directions for future research. A survey of 900 college stu- dents, for example, found that 40 percent of them indicated they had “some gaps” in their research skills.18 Other research, however, has shown that students with below-proficient information literacy skills levels tend to greatly overestimate their information literacy skill levels and are unable to recalibrate their self-views even after taking an information literacy test.19 Such students, because they do not recognize their deficiencies, are unlikely to seek help to improve their skills, nor are they able to recognize expertise in others.20

     summary: This is logi- cal, since both of the editors are highly respected scholars of library leadership and management, and much of the book looks at the library leadership landscape across two continents. Hernon’s chapter on library leadership in the United States is comprehensive: he explores how the profession is at- tempting to address the need for ongoing development of leaders.

     summary: It has been six years since the Asso- ciation advanced its “Research Agenda for Scholarly Communication,” which included the call to promote research in ar- eas such as authorship, value metrics, and the adoption of successful innovations.2 As a print publication, C&RL provided a venue for disseminating the results of such research, including Malenfant’s study of scholarly communications services as an emergent component of the core respon- sibilities of liaison librarians, Nariani and Fernadez’s study of the factors influencing Endings and Beginnings authors’ decisions to publish (or to avoid publishing) in open access journals, and Walters and Linvill’s study of the characteristics of open ac- cess journals.3 Most recently, a study by Ramirez et. C&RL will not be the first scholarly journal to move to a digital-only publish- ing model, and it will not be the first to embrace open access publishing, but it is still unusual to see a journal with the history and reputation that C&RL enjoys dive into the future of scholarly publishing with both feet.

     summary: Our study also confirms Fox’s 2007 finding that the “requirement for formal scholarship by Canadian research librarians appears to be a growing trend, and, yet, there are no commonly accepted norms for the appropriate balance between scholarship and other professional responsibilities. Given ULs’ perceptions that research expectations have changed and will continue to change, another survey of Canadian librarians could update Fox’s 2006 findings.

     summary: First, we wanted to compare the overall level of library skills before and after receiving library instruction. Thus, in reviewing the available literature, we found it most useful to focus on articles that discussed either a) one-shot instruction strategies, or b) the use of pre- and post-tests in any form of library instruction that took place in discrete sessions (that is, in library instruction sessions that were not part of a specific information literacy and/or library research skills course).

     summary: The answer to this question is what will allow academic libraries to remain viable….27 Jurow cites Dorothy Leonard-Barton,28 saying that core competencies—however 592 College & Research Libraries November 2013 defined—necessarily extend beyond the knowledge and skills of employees, and include the ways in which work gets done in the organization through technical and managerial systems and culture. Nowhere is this shift more apparent than in the front-line, public service sectors of academic libraries.

        date: 2013

      flesch: 43
     summary: There is little information, however, about why students schedule consultations, the kinds of assistance students feel are provided by librarians during consultations, and what students find valu- able about face-to-face consultations, even with the availability of online research help. Finally, there is evidence that college students believe librarians add value to the search process,17 and that, counter to expecta- tions, many students still want and even prefer face-to-face, personal help.18 One way to provide that face-to-face, personal help is through individual re- search consultations.

     summary: The weakest chapters, in my opin- ion, were the ones having to do with academic libraries. In the past six months I’ve had the plea- sure not only of working in a vibrant academic research library—a library that is anything but stodgy—but also of visiting, sitting, and reading in wonderful public library branches in Adams County, Pennsylvania, Worces- ter County, Maryland, and my home library system in Baltimore County, Maryland.

     summary: Moreover, he noted (quoting Robert Maynard Hutchins), there was a general lack of research available on higher education and a need, given the central role of the library on campus, for a journal that would promote research into its unique challenges, its operations, and its contributions to teaching, learning, and scholarship.1 Seventy-five years later, there are still concerns about the state of research in higher education, but there are now many venues for the dissemination of such research, including research into the academic and research library.2 Indeed, the study of core journals in Library and Information Science available in this is- sue demonstrates how far we have come since Kuhlman surveyed a field providing few opportunities for the promotion and dissemination of research in academic librarianship. It is also increasingly common for our colleagues to conduct research aligned not only with the agendas of the information professions, but with the broader agendas of our institutions, as in a forthcoming study of the contributions that the library makes to undergraduate research initiatives.4 As different as the environment may be 75 years after we started this journey, there is no question that the original niche that Kuhlman saw 4 College & Research Libraries January 2014 for our journal is still there as a place for promoting research that improves library practice, but does so within the context of the specific needs of higher education and scholarly and scientific research.

       title: Relationships between Interlibrary Loan and Research Activity in Canada
        date: 2014

      flesch: 34
     summary: There was found to be a 9 percent increase in ILL of articles between 1995/96 and 1999/00 in 26 of Illinois’ largest libraries, during which time access to online full-text journals increased significantly, and the authors speculated that access to online citation databases was part of the reason for the increase.18 A study at a small private university underscored the important role played by databases in affecting ILL borrowing activity levels; the author determined that, from 1990 to 2000, an av- erage of 63 percent of ILL article requests originated from databases, and that the number climbed significantly during the 10-year study—from 60 percent in 1990 to 80 percent in 2000.19 Not all research has shown ILL borrowing increases as a result of increased online content, however; de- creases in document delivery were found in Spanish and French university libraries from 2000 to 2003, when full-text journal collections increased considerably.20 The purchase of new Elsevier e-journals was presumed to be responsible for a 22 per- cent decrease in ILL article requests at the University of Glasgow Library between 1998–1999 (prior to the Elsevier purchase) and 2001–2002, after the Elsevier package was purchased.21 A significant decrease in the volume of ILL borrowing of pho- tocopies was also found during a 10-year period in a college devoted to the study of criminal justice.22 Other studies suggest that the pres- ence of OpenURL link resolvers has had an effect on ILL borrowing activity. One of the oldest studies to examine the relationship between library collection size and interlibrary loan borrowing rates found a negative correlation between the two—indicating that the larger a library’s holdings, the fewer ILL borrow- ing requests there were.3 However, most researchers working on this topic found a positive correlation between library collections and ILL borrowing activity, indicating that the larger a library’s collec- tion size, the higher their ILL borrowing activity, a correlation which is perhaps counterintuitive.

     summary: Several of Cullars’ reference studies deserve special attention because of the way he recorded language data for each project. The Italian literary scholars used English-language sources less frequently.20 In Cullars’ 1992 study of the reference patterns in fine arts mono- graphs, English was the primary language of references, although sources in German and several Romance languages made up nearly 38 percent of all references.21 Two recent studies of very specific ar- eas within the humanities have reported language data that is relevant.

     summary: We invited 200 faculty members in the departments of Anthropology, Art History, Classics, English, Modern Languages, Philosophy, Religion, and History to complete a sur- vey that aimed to gather demographic data about humanities faculty at FSU and learn whether such faculty preferred print or electronic research resources, as well as more about how such faculty interact with print or electronic research resources (see Appendix A for Survey Questions). Most fundamentally, our research refutes the popular assumption that humanists have negative perceptions of electronic research materials based on an emotional attachment to print media.20

     summary: A 2007 review of studies discussing the desired character- istics of student peer mentors in higher education found the following to be the most frequently considered descriptors: communication skills (35%); supportive- ness (30%); trustworthiness (30%); ability, willingness to commit time (26%); and Undergraduates Providing Peer Reference and Instruction 165 empathy (24%).23 Many of these overlap with the qualities that students desire in a teacher, identified in a 2009 article as enthusiasm, empathy, communicating effectively, identifying important ideas, giving good examples, and connecting material to real life.24 Peer providers who bring these quali- ties are not only able to connect material to real life, but, having gained expertise and confidence in providing reference, can model these traits in delivering in- struction. The prime virtue in such student-re- ported qualitative data is that it speaks to the unique and therefore most important component of peer teaching: the affective response of students.

     summary: Taking into consideration these mobile devices and their impact on our daily life, the ques- tion arises whether those in the Library and Information Science (LIS) community (both librarians and students) are ready to adopt mobile library services. In another study, Walsh investigated students’ atti- tudes and use of mobile library services and found that they did not view text messaging from the library as intrusive.

     summary: However, the Framework does include additional elements, including: knowledge practices involved in demonstrating understand- ing of information literacy concepts; the dispositions needed to behave as an adept learner; and some sample assignments and self-assessments that would develop understanding of threshold concepts in information literacy, or otherwise pin- point challenges for students in learning them. Tucker identified four threshold concepts crucial for expertise in “Search”: knowledge of the total information envi- ronment; knowledge of information struc- ture; knowledge of search vocabularies and tactics; and concept fusion of the first three concepts that allows the expert to move with agility within and across databases and systems.7 Tucker’s research presents a deeper analysis of searching, involving one set of threshold concepts that demonstrates growing interest in the library profession in threshold concept theory.

     summary: The study revealed that more than half of the students correctly defined the term “Abstract” and over 75 percent understood “full text.” It was observed in the previous study that students who successfully followed the SFX links from Proquest to the citation/ abstract page of a different database were then unsuccessful in identifying the loca- tion of the full text of the article, often marked by the words “Full Text” or a PDF symbol.23

     summary: Four of the interviewees noted the value of offering students a simple, Google-like search option that will help them access the library’s resources, while three respondents believed the one-box either sends the wrong message that library research is easy, or fails to make library research easier. Of the 202 respondents who selected options from the provided list (those who did not select from the list or only gave an “Other” response were not included in the numerical analysis), the three most often selected reasons for teaching the one-box were “it’s a good way to get students to use the library’s resources” (107, 53%), “the one-box makes library research more intuitive to Google users” (95, 47%), and “it provides ‘good enough’ results” (94, 46.5%).

      flesch: 53
     summary: Fifteen participants asked questions virtually at University A, while 16 partici- pants asked virtual reference questions at University B. Questions were asked using the five virtual reference services (e-mail, telephone, online chat, text mes- saging, and online videoconferencing) as illustrated in table 1. Several studies suggest the success of virtual reference services does not depend solely on the quality of the service but may also be dependent upon funding, volume of reference questions, staffing levels, hardware and software issues, and institutional culture.5 Further, many library patrons are not aware that virtual reference services are available.6 While many elements contribute to a person’s experience using a virtual refer- ence service, a significant yet often over- looked factor is the overall usability of the digital services.

     summary: cademic libraries have long had individuals responsible for social science data services, providing access to govern- ment and other types of data. The study verifies that employers valued non-techni- cal skills as heavily as technical skills, and detects dissimilar emphases of data activities for data librarians and non-librarian professionals: the former on data discovery and collection, and the latter on data analysis and preservation.

     summary: Paul Wyss cites several studies that have demonstrated over the years that faculty academic librarians do not earn equivalent salaries to those of disciplinary faculty of the same rank.23 The disparity of treatment, fair or not, between librarians with faculty status and disciplinary faculty is embedded in the structure of academic institutions. Upon review of the empirical literature on the topic, Applegate stated that, while the paucity of relevant literature made it difficult to draw conclusions regarding faculty librarians’ job satisfaction versus that of nonfaculty academic librarians, librarians with faculty status may be less satisfied in key areas.38 Bruce Kingma and Gillian M. McCombs cautioned that librarians with faculty status may be less produc- tive in the areas traditionally associated with academic librarianship because their attention is necessarily diverted to other functions inside the academy.39 Also of concern is the possibility of faculty academic librarians being con- signed to what Danielle Hoggan terms “nominal” faculty status.

An analysis of articles published from 1974 to 2004 in the Journal of Veterinary Medical Education showed an increase in the median number of authors per paper from one in the first decade of the study to three in the last decade, as well as an increase in interinstitutional collaboration since 1990.10 Interdisciplinary Research Interdisciplinary research dates to the invisible colleges of the 17th century, but it has gained increased attention in recent years.11 Scientists recognize the need to apply the understanding of multiple disciplines to address problems, and institutions have estab- lished interdisciplinary programs and research centers to assist in these efforts.12 Funding 666 College & Research Libraries September 2014 TABLE 1 AVMA-Accredited Colleges of Veterinary Medicine* Abbreviation CVM Pilot Study CVM AUB Auburn University College of Veterinary Medicine CAL University of California-Davis School of Veterinary Medicine CORNELL Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine CSU Colorado State University College of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences GEO University of Georgia College of Veterinary Medicine ILLINOIS University of Illinois College of Veterinary Medicine X ISU Iowa State University College of Veterinary Medicine X KSU Kansas State University College of Veterinary Medicine LSU Louisiana State University School of Veterinary Medicine MICH ST Michigan State University College of Veterinary Medicine X MISS Mississippi State University College of Veterinary Medicine Mizzou University of Missouri-Columbia College of Veterinary Medicine X NCSU North Carolina State University College of Veterinary Medicine OkState Oklahoma State University Center for Veterinary Health Sciences ORE Oregon State University College of Veterinary Medicine OSU Ohio State University College of Veterinary Medicine X Penn University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine Purdue Purdue University School of Veterinary Medicine X TAMU Texas A&M University College of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences TENN University of Tennessee College of Veterinary Medicine Exploring the Veterinary Literature 667 initiatives for interdisciplinary research from such organizations as the National Science Foundation, National Institutes of Health, and Canadian Institutes of Health Research have helped encourage further interdisciplinary research.13 This is particularly notable in applied sciences such as environmental science, public health, and biomedical sci- ences.14 Interdisciplinary research is also common in veterinary medical research, which includes not only clinical veterinary medicine but broader veterinary science fields such as livestock production, food safety, public health, and translational medicine.

     summary: Do PDA patrons purchase books or spend collection dollars such that their subject profile, as expressed via LC classes/subclasses, is dissimilar from librar- ians’ subject profile? The entirety of the early PDA literature on print materials that has addressed the question of PDA and circulation has concluded that PDA books circulate more than do books acquired via traditional acquisition channels.49

     summary: At the very moment that an effective framework for shared communication regarding how academic libraries are evolving to address change in the technology, publishing, and higher education environments is essential, we lack a “platform publication” to which we all might contribute and which we all might share with campus colleagues. In this environment, academic libraries have to make difficult choices about priorities and resource allocation, or reallocation.

     summary: One early pioneer in studying library collection usage was Richard Trueswell, whose work in the 1960s identified the 80/20 rule, which was first applied to industry and warehousing, and eventually applied to libraries.7 His theory that 80 percent of the usage can be covered by 20 percent of the collection has been a standard assumption among librarians for many years. Due to the burgeoning of library print collections in the mid-1980s, the Ohio Board of Regents was presented with many requests for new or expanded library buildings.

      flesch: 43
     summary: With worked examples, the learners start with a worked example and are introduced successively to the elements of a particular problem.34 Having MLIS students write an abstract for a research proposal meets most, if not all, of the conditions of learning in which worked examples are effective. As for the added benefits of using worked examples of abstracts in a course on research methods in an MLIS curriculum or in a continuing education setting for LIS practitioners, the authors posit that this instructional technique could be an effective means for teaching either audience to interpret research articles.

     summary: To that end, some research has explored factors that boost student motivation. For example, Cahoy and Schroeder summarize best practices and provide guidance for how to write affective learning outcomes in IL and how to measure them.47 They surveyed IL librarians about their attention to their students’ affective needs and found that a majority of their 275 respondents do address affective issues such as emotions toward research, attitude toward the library, and persistence in doing research in their IL sessions.48 Other models of instruction that integrate awareness of student affect can be found in the K–12 arena.

     summary: Library research needs to become much more open to critical theory as one part of the broad range of research approaches that can help us imagine the future of library practices. In the years since, despite the appearance of some substan- tive literature reviews and “thought pieces” in this journal, it seems clear that the articulation of one acceptable approach to LIS research (down to identifying specific sections expected in any research report) may have discouraged many authors from submitting ground-breaking research to College & Research Libraries.

     summary: Motivation is an important consideration for educa- tors because the extent that students are motivated impacts the degree to which they learn.34 Student engagement has been demonstrated to contribute to student learning as measured by the grades students receive, their general knowledge acquisition, and intellectual development more broadly.35 Much of the literature on autonomy support in educational psychology has stressed the importance for student motivation of providing students with autonomous choices and autonomous control over their learning.36 Assor, Kaplan, and Roth are somewhat unique in the current literature, however, in recognizing the importance of providing students with choices that are deemed by the students to be authentic. Exactly how to do this is a practical question of fundamental importance for library educators interested in increasing student learning.

     summary: Finally, although outside the scope of this study, there is evidence to suggest that the same pedagogies and educational practices recommended for high school students and their development of information literacy competency would continue to benefit them into the college years. Simply stated, is there a “sweet spot” for honors students—a point after which additional courses make no difference or may in fact be detrimental when it comes to information literacy competency?

Looking beyond LIS, in the health sciences, Bowen et al17 and Kitson, Harvey, and McCormack18 found organizational factors to be paramount to the actual use of research evidence in practice.

     summary: As several of the book’s contributors discuss, academic libraries are faced with declining budgets and the need to justify to administrators what librarians do. Eleven case studies make up the eleven chapters of this book, nine of which are about assessment initiatives in academic libraries; the other two case studies detail the experiences of librarians in the Information Services Office of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the Ontario Council of University Libraries (OCUL), a consortium of 21 academic libraries in Ontario, Canada.

Also, only 22 percent of administrators who do not prioritize assessment use assessment data in decision making versus 69 percent who do prioritize assessment.

     summary: Library disasters come in many forms, including such events as floods, fires, earthquakes, hurricanes, vandalism, workplace violence, and so forth, with damage from water or moisture being among the most frequently experienced.1 Since the infamous library fire that destroyed much of the Alexandria Library in Egypt in approximately 48 BCE, numerous other disasters have befallen libraries—and they seem to be increasingly prevalent.2 Librarians are very likely to have to respond to a disaster during their careers.

     summary: It has been almost 50 years since Robert Taylor published this classic article in C&RL; yet much of what that article discussed is as fresh today as it was back then.1 As Taylor wrote, “Without doubt, the negotiation of reference questions is one of the most complex acts of human communication” (180). Taylor’s paper was chosen as the November 25, 1985, Citation Classic, with Robert Taylor himself writing the analysis.6 That an article from library science even made the list of papers to be reviewed is re- markable, given the relatively small size of our field in comparison to the sciences and social sciences.

     summary: The results seem to support the belief that the inquirer’s interaction with a library or information system has certain similarities to the negotiation process. General instruction in the use of library and information systems is presently nor- mally accomplished by tours, formal instruction, and handbooks, none of which are available when the user actually has an inquiry.

     summary: He notes that Paul Evan Peters, the found- ing executive director of the Coalition for Networked Information (CNI), significantly influenced his thinking for his 1988 article.3 As a mark of its influence, it is interesting to note that Lewis’s article was cited beginning in 1989, shortly after its appearance, by the late Peter Graham, who was highly respected for his deep analysis of research libraries and who called Lewis one of the best thinkers about libraries, and into the early 2000s, by the late, highly esteemed librarian and author Ross Atkinson.4 She not only wanted libraries to reinvent themselves in the digital environment, but to provide some underpinnings for the work of the university in research, teaching, and learning.37 It is important to confirm that many academic libraries have, in fact, developed or contributed to the development of robust infrastructures to support research, teaching, and learning in the digital environment.

     summary: Brian Quinn explores to what extent and to what effect academic libraries have become “McDonaldized,” according to the concept developed by sociologist George Ritzer.1 Quinn identifies a number of ways in which the four dimensions of McDonaldization—efficiency, calculability, predictability, and control (typically realized through the substitution of technology for human labor )—are evident in academic libraries. Although Quinn concedes that “there are obvious advantages in maintaining a well- organized and efficient work environment,” ultimately, he sees the “bureaucratic, Mc- Donaldized environment” characteristic of academic libraries as a form of irrationality:

     summary: In pursuit of the fourth goal above, librarians can look forward to increasing informa- tion about student library activities and interactions. It’s reasonable to expect that, as librarians gain access to more complex and more reveal- ing information about student library activity and interactions as well as campus 358 College & Research Libraries 75th Anniversary Issue level learning analytics, they will gain the connections, skill, confidence, interest, and ability to conduct more sophisticated analyses of the ways in which libraries make a difference in students’ lives.

     summary: Serious conversations with other students may be an indicator of the extent to which a college’s general education program animates lively discussions beyond the classroom and initiates debates on new topics. Three questions gauge student opinions about the quality of relationships with faculty members, administrative personnel, and other students on campus.

     summary: At the college library level, the role of library liaisons appears to be growing, but the emphasis is tightly coupled with teaching and learning rather than research. Can library liaisons play a key role in revitalizing human-to-human interactions by engaging individuals col- lectively in problem solving, creativity, and the production of new knowledge and awareness?

     summary: While the framework identifies roles and responsibilities in nine areas, those for scholarly communication are the following: • educate and inform faculty, graduate students, and campus administrators about scholarly communication issues. Some liaisons, particularly those in the humanities and even some in social sci- ences, seem to think that scholarly communication issues aren’t terribly important, one liaison feels.

      flesch: 47
     summary: Also, although there has been a long history of studies on the use and users of OPACs (Online Public Access Catalogs) since their introduction in libraries, with most research using transaction log analysis methods, this approach has not been used to study the use of the library catalog as a way to access e-books, nor to study PDA programs.4 Over the last few years, several studies on e-book use and users reveal a mixed im- age involving both success and failure of e-book usage in libraries.5 Some studies have an interesting focus on the ways users discover and access e-books, but few trace the users’ path from the OPAC to the commercial provider platform. The answers to these questions will help establish to what extent the catalog is used for PDA e-book discovery and whether or not more frequent e-book use is linked to catalog searches and full bibliographic record displays.

     summary: Finally, there are suggestions that the rapid transformations of academic libraries may at some point warrant a renewed discussion of library mission that would be capable of encompassing the increasingly divergent roles of the library in the digital age. This raises the question whether library directors accurately understand provosts’ percep- tions of library roles.

     summary: The authors argue that much of what has been proven to work in terms of increasing learning may be counterintuitive to learners and that learners may need to teach themselves new skills to be successful. This very informative handbook for the “science of successful learning” is the fruit of eleven cognitive scientists working in concert as part of an “Applying Cognitive Psychology to Enhance Education Practice” research grant, which studied the impact of the latest developments in the field of cognitive psychology as applied to education over a ten-year period.

     summary: Participants in these discussions have raised a number of critical questions relevant to the future of both ACRL research programs and ACRL publication programs, some of which complement questions raised in this column over the past year, including the need for a platform publication for academic libraries and the need to support a greater diversity in the research studies published in this journal. Years ago, the now-defunct ACRL Research Program Committee piloted a “Research Writers Program” that offered one-on-one mentoring for new and experienced writers at ALA and ACRL conferences (including the National Conference in Philadelphia in 2011).

     summary: The report served as an assessment wake-up call for libraries to move from traditional reports of outputs to reports of the measurable impact they have on their respective campuses, particularly in areas such as student retention and engagement and faculty teaching and research.7 Author Megan Oakleaf sug- gests a number of ways libraries can begin providing evidence of impact, including “[investigating] correlations between student library interactions and their GPA” and “demonstrating the library’s role in retaining students until graduation. The Office of Institutional Effectiveness merged library use data with student background characteristics and academic records extracted from the university data warehouse.

This included aspects such as expanding international university partnerships and collaboration with international libraries as well as expanding research initiatives, de- veloping international research centers, and growing international digitization projects.

There are a number of reports on generational diversity and ageism in librarianship, ably summarized by Lancaster in 2003, Hutley and Solomon in 2004, Gordon in 2006, Martin in 2006, and Chu in 2009.1 Empirical research concern- ing generational differences in the workplace does exist within the general manage- ment literature, as examined by Twenge in 2010, but rigorous empirical research is not available on how intergenerational colleagues actually relate to one another in the academic library work setting.2 Should we assume that the intergenerational differences represented in the management literature automatically apply to academic librarians?

     summary: In the face of these challenges, the off-site storage facilities used by many libraries for circulating collections are increasingly used for the storage of special collections materials. The findings of two recent studies on fire suppression in high-density off-site storage facilities that were presented at an ALA panel in 2011 described specific risks to boxed archival materials and books, made recommendations as to shelving special collection materials, and offered equipment strategies to minimize damage in the event of a fire.24 Methodology The authors created a survey to measure the use of off-site storage for special collec- tions materials within research libraries and to study the impact of off-site use on core special collections activities.

The need for a collaborative research community around digital humanities research was another major theme that emerged from the responses.

     summary: At first blush, the notion of writing a primer on electronic research seems an impossible task. However, Victoria Martin, the life sciences librarian at the University Libraries of George Mason University, has taken up the task, creating a resource whose strengths are found in those chapters where the scope of the discussion are more focused on the practical considerations of electronic research and whose weaknesses are the result of expanding into more theoretical or historical aspects of the topic at hand.

     summary: For liaison librarians looking to expand their current duties, there are chapters on important although less frequent aspects of academic work such as assisting with university accreditation. Many chapters draw on examples from case studies in the literature or from the authors’ experiences, including the unique attributes of the community college setting, to give readers concrete examples of how this variability in liaison work presents itself.

     summary: John Budd adds that academic librarians practice a style of librarianship that may require more than the basic MLS degree, leading him to ponder whether students interested in a career in academic libraries should take coursework specific to these skills for an entry-level job.5 Reports and anecdotal observations like these paint a bleak picture of the academic library job market and in turn motivated the researchers to update studies conducted by Reser and Schuneman, who analyzed academic library positions using job an- nouncements advertised in 1988, and Beile and Adams, who used job advertisements from 1996, by examining position announcements from 2011.6 This cross-sectional technique allows for a three-point comparison of academic library jobs over a 23-year period. Literature Review The state of the academic library job market and required skills and qualifications associated with academic library positions have been the topic of numerous investi- gations, and a search for studies using position announcements as an indication of the job market yielded a variety of reports in the professional literature.

     summary: Review of Selected Literature While large ethnographic studies have been conducted in libraries since the landmark Rochester study,3 few of these studies have adopted a holistic, multimethod approach to studying graduate student populations.4 Most studies of graduate students have fo- cused on specific themes, such as their research needs, how they use the library, how to design a better library website, or how to build a more attractive institutional repository.5 It is difficult to summarize graduate student behaviors and needs. Storage is also part of the large footprint for graduate students and a key component as they continue to prefer print formats and tend to compile large collections of print and online research materials.13 Graduate students also pay attention to the atmosphere of a space and their sur- roundings.

     summary: This study examines how students are using academic library spaces and the role these spaces are playing in the campus community. Other researchers have found that, while in the library, students are likely to engage in both academic and social pursuits, often simultaneously.11 Academic work remains their primary activity, however; Foster found that academic vs. recreational activities happened at a ratio of 6:1 in the library, while Suarez observed that, even with their flirting, chatting, and other social endeavours, students in the library are engaged in academic work most of the time.12 Students have repeatedly indicated that they want library spaces to support both academic and social activities, and these researchers conclude that the library succeeds in fulfilling these disparate roles.

     summary: On this and a number of other bases, he concludes that library users must defend their ability to engage in browsing and other traditional research methods “against the technologists, who have no idea what library research is or what it aims for, and against the administrators, who see in the false technological argument an intellectual justification for the huge savings they hope to realize by decommissioning libraries. ”19 While serendipity can happen anywhere, comments from library users suggest that serendipity’s occurrence in the stacks can take on a special character that goes beyond the typical delight that accompanies any happy accident.

     summary: Anthropology students, with proper training and back- ground, conducted ethnographic studies of the library to determine their peers’ study patterns; library staff, broken into teams, conducted structured observations of library patrons, while others were part of co-design sessions, allowing various constituen- cies to articulate their thoughts on an ideal library, with the final team interviewing undergraduates, the major users of McKeldin Library. The foundational concept of Mackey and Jacobson’s book, metaliteracy, is con- textualized and described in thorough detail in the first chapter as a concept that encompasses various literacies we have become familiar with: digital literacy, visual literacy, and others.

     summary: The impact of taking this approach to defining innovation can be seen in the ways in which entire categories of institutions were eliminated from consideration early in the process, e.g., if their researchers had not filed a sufficient number of patents.8 For Reuters, innovation in higher education is defined by the capacity to “reliably produce original research, create useful technol- ogy, and have the greatest economic impact.”9 Innovation of the type prized by Reuters can certainly be found in libraries, and our contributions to this type of innovation can be seen in the work being done at places like North Carolina State University’s James B. Hunt, Jr. Library.12 Public libraries also support this sort of innovation, as in the case of the Alexandria Co-Working Network, which brings together the expertise of Arizona State University’s Entrepreneurship and Innovation Group and the community access provided by public libraries.13 Support- ing economic advancement is also one of the strategic focus areas for Chicago Public Library.14

     summary: Literature Review Interest in understanding student use of academic libraries is widespread, as is the use of ethnographic and other qualitative methods to investigate student library use. It is important to understand where the needs of commuter students align with those of students who live in cam- pus housing—and where they differ—so that librarians, administrators, and faculty can effectively learn from research into student library use at residential institutions.

     summary: The program’s transformation from a traditional one-on-one, single, long-term mentoring relationship to something more flexible and varied reflects a trend among library mentoring programs, and the University of Kansas Libraries, like many others, recognize that there is still much to discover about the best structure of a mentoring program at an academic library. Perhaps the most notable trend is that all of the interviewees val- ued their mentoring programs for the personal benefits they provided, which suggests that library mentoring programs often have positive professional effects for librarians, regardless of whether they are participating as mentees, mentors, or program facilitators.

     summary: Wittkopf considers current practices for providing online courses using the following principles: learning goals and content presentation, in- teractions, assessment and measurement, instructional media and tools, and learner support systems and services.8 Mery, Newby, and Peng believe that information lit- eracy can be taught effectively through a well-designed online course, which requires a thoughtful course design, the capacity to create online learning modules, and the ability to train qualified teaching assistants to help students.9 Held draws attention to some “pillars of effective information literacy instruction” that must be considered when designing library instruction services, including collaboration with faculty, as- sessment of the library instruction, student responses to online library instruction, and attention to instructional design so that online tutorials are effective and keep student engagement in mind.10 Michel summarizes the advantages and disadvantages of the use of asynchronous online tutorials in library instruction: online tutorials are accessible anytime, anywhere, allowing students or faculty to learn library skills at their own pace and saving librar- ians’ instruction time.11 On the other hand, online tutorials lack personal interaction between librarians and students, and developing effective online tutorials requires advanced web design technologies and usability testing, which demand substantial staffing time. ”17 Barr reflects on library instruction at Harvard University’s science libraries and notes the challenge of online library instruction given the dynamic nature of sci- ence research, which necessitates frequent updating of information, keeping up with changing courses and content, and understanding new technologies.18 Barsky, Read, and Greenwood focus on library instruction for undergraduate engineering students, arguing that in-person instruction is essential and must be combined with detailed course pages tailored to each class.19 They stress the importance of reaching students in the first two years of their studies to effectively teach them about library resources specifically for engineers.

Continued decreases in the number and complexity of reference questions have all but ended the debate; many academic libraries no longer staff service points with professional librar- ians.

     summary: The Association of American Colleges and Universities (AAC&U) designated undergraduate research as a high-impact practice in 2008.3 In fact, there has been a consistent growth in undergraduate research programs across all types of institutions and disciplines, as evidenced by the expansion of the Council on Undergraduate Research (CUR), which represents the interests of faculty members, campus coordinators, provosts and deans, and students in advocacy for and development of undergraduate research programs. In this survey, we are interested in collecting information about how library support for formal undergraduate research programs is perceived by those administering or coordinating undergraduate research programs.

     summary: Scenario planning (very different from strategic planning, as the authors explain) uses a paradigm that involves adaptability, anticipation of constant challenges both near- and far-term, uncertainty, and volatility. Part II (chapters 5–9) is composed of a series of essays by library leaders on their experiences with scenario planning.

     summary: Their intent is to revitalize the conversation surrounding librarian stereotypes and how we all too often go to great lengths to not fit a specific stereotype, thinking that act alone will in some way make a perception fade away. Chapter 3 focuses on why we are so driven to change librarian stereotypes and whether that interest is even productive.

     summary: The last big rounds of program name changes came in the late 1990s and again a decade ago. We believe there is something in a name, and that it is time to consider what we might do to explore what that something might be through research into professional education, changes in the faculty workforce, and the values that students and in-service professionals embrace when they choose to study and pursue a career in libraries and librarianship Let us begin by acknowledging, as Juliet does, that names, by themselves, do not define a thing.

     summary: This study analyzed digital item metadata and keywords from Internet search engines to learn what metadata elements actually facilitate dis- covery of digital collections through Internet keyword searching and how significantly each metadata element affects the discovery of items in a digital repository. Using Google Analytics on Texas Tech University Libraries’ digital collections, this study extracts the digital content that is frequently visited by search engine traffic, analyzes the valid keywords that are entered in search engines, and compares keywords against implemented values of metadata elements.

     summary: E-book usage may be measured differently by numerous vendors, but typically providers count each time an electronic file is opened or downloaded. In any case, the disparity between the measurements makes it nearly impossible to reliably compare print circulation to e-book usage.

     summary: Even when the students do use Facebook to ask a reference question, the response might be a refer- ral to a librarian or to a virtual reference service, or they do not receive a sufficiently timely response.15 With these referrals and nonresponses, the students quickly were discouraged from using library Facebook pages for reference assistance. Gerolimos character- ized the library Facebook pages as having low numbers of followers mostly made up of library employees or colleagues and few interactions between the library and university students except for infrequent spikes in feedback from library posts with pictures or video content.

     summary: From this point on in, this article adopts the following definitions: • Library building will refer to the physical library building; • Library place will refer to users’ phenomenological “sense of place” in a library; that is, how users react to and behave in library buildings; and • Library space will refer to how users occupy library buildings, in this case in the form of a detailed seating survey. This and other Library surveys showed that stu- dents wished to have more naturally lighted seating environments and that dark areas were often negatively perceived (note here that the carrels around the atrium balconies, which receive a lot of light through the Library roof, are among the most heavily oc- cupied areas of the Library).

      flesch: 39
     summary: An online survey was developed and sent to employers to gauge perceptions of information literacy skills of college graduates and the use of the innovation of digital badges to represent competencies that students have accumulated. This lack of transfer connotes a need for translation of these skills from the academic setting to the workplace.1 Previous research on information literacy in the workplace shows that the skills valued by the American Library Association (ALA) are not exactly the same as the skills valued in the workplace.2 Being information literate is a critical factor to success in the information age, and it is necessary to include information literacy skills valued by employers into library instruction curricula for students.

     summary: It should be noted that there are no plans to establish a master’s degree in LGBTQ or sexuality studies at Concordia University, but there is sufficient graduate student interest and faculty expertise in LGBTQ studies to justify a collection assessment for this level of research. One of the major goals of this study is to compile data with which to assess the current collection’s capacity to support graduate research, specifically at the master ’s level, in LGBTQ studies.

     summary: Once a context for information transfer is established, the book goes on to describe the ways that the information infrastructure, from information organization in libraries to knowledge diffusion online, has changed since the dawn of the digital era and how we, as practitioners, can better navigate and interpret this infrastructure. In the preface, the authors explain that this work is the application of the many years of writing, teach- ing, research, and discussion about information transfer that they have shared in their careers.

This book is specifically appropriate for new librarians and library students, but it could also be a useful rumination for practiced librarians and others in academia and information professions.

     summary: Appraisal and Acquisition, the latest in Kate Theimer’s Innovative Practices for Archives and Special Collections series, presents a range of case studies that deal with methods and processes of appraisal. Of particular interest to this re- viewer personally were case studies on the Georgia LGBTQ Archives Project, a collaborative group with archivists from several different regional archives that work together to place archival material from the Georgia LGBTQ community in the appropriate repository; on the Tim Kaine Email Project, which involved the processing of 1.3 million e-mails from the administration of Gov. Tim Kaine; and “Hardware for SoftPoems,” which focuses on the acquisition of an author whose poems combine analog and digital elements, and considers the appraisal of vintage computer equipment and its implication for the field as a whole.

     summary: Conclusion The SMCM AiA team’s inquiry into collaboration and IL student learning produced results that led to more nuanced questions about the nature of faculty-librarian teach- ing relationships and expectations of first-year students. The mean number of IL sessions taught for the FYS was 1.6 and the mode was 1. Student Survey II: Determining Student Behavior The timing of the distribution of the second student survey resulted in a response rate of only 62 percent (n = 237) of FYS students.

     summary: Student Learning—Comparing Final Paper Results To compare the performance of TRAIL students to their peers who had not received TRAIL instruction, additional papers from non-TRAIL students with library instruc- tion and non-TRAIL students without library instruction were assessed using the same rubric applied to TRAIL student papers. The indirect evidence of TRAIL students’ reflections would provide insight into their attitudes and knowledge about the research process, while final papers, a form of direct evidence, would show the extent to which TRAIL students used suitable sources and developed arguments and counterarguments supported with evidence.

     summary: It was this significant, campus-wide interest in student research that shaped the guiding question for the present study: whether and how do typical in-class research literacy sessions help students to learn and to grow as researchers.4 To address this question, the team de- cided to conduct a mixed-methods study, including both a quantitative performance assessment using citation analysis and a qualitative element in which students were asked to reflect on their research process and learning. What we will do in the future: • Our campus is beginning the search for a new library director, and as part of this process librarians will meet with groups of faculty and students to discuss a range of questions related to library services, such as, “What should be the role of Grinnell’s libraries in supporting, for instance, student research, study spaces, events, and employment?

     summary: Assignment Checklist Scoring Results Assignments that required or allowed students to demonstrate information literacy skills were evaluated on the inclusion of instructions from a total of eight categories: specifying number of sources students were expected to find, use, and cite; specify- ing the types of sources that were acceptable; requiring that students know how to evaluate sources for bias and credibility; requiring source variety to ensure students know how to get information from different types of sources; requiring intermediary steps in the research process; distinguishing between direct and indirect quotations; specifying a documentation style; and specifying requirements about the currency of information used. Faculty submitting student works for information literacy assessment were asked to reflect on information literacy in the selected course and to respond to the survey.

     summary: Methods give librarians the tools with which to answer research questions central both to curiosity and to daily practice, and having an ample toolbox with which to do that work is important. A number of textbooks offer a straightforward introduction to a variety of research methods currently employed in Library and Information Science, as does the American Library Association’s Office for Research and Statistics.7 While this suggests that our field has embraced a broad spectrum of methods in the design of scholarly research, one of the authors recalls a number of questions regarding his decision to employ a qualitative research design in a study published in this journal as recently as 2008, and representation of a variety of perspectives on “what counts as research” continues to present a challenge in the composition of editorial boards and peer reviewer pools in leading journals in our field.8 Concerns about methodology, thus, are complementary to epistemological debates about what counts as knowledge in our field.

The evolving and complex nature of e-book acceptance is best illustrated by compar- ing the results of studies documenting growing student acceptance of e-books over the last decade while highlighting a preference “to do course-related activities with paper and ink.”7

      flesch: 32
     summary: Since that time, Oakland University Libraries implemented changes to its instruction program that reflect larger trends in teaching and assessment throughout the profession; following these revisions, librarians undertook a new study to assess the effectiveness of online library instruction in face-to-face courses in comparison to the hybrid model that had been in place. For instance, in their comparison of instruction delivered through online tutorials and face-to-face learning sessions, Beile and Boote found that online instruction represented a viable way librarians could reach students in online courses.6 Similarly, in a study that considered whether undergraduate students gained the requisite information literacy skills to carry them to graduation and success in their postacademic careers, Johnston found that those students who worked through an online information lit- eracy tutorial “gained an understanding of information literacy concepts” and that the flexible and customizable structure available through the use of the Internet helped students develop these skills.7 These studies serve to confirm what Zhang, Watson, and Banfield found in their analysis of ten studies comparing online and face-to-face learning: almost universally, online library instruction is seen as comparably effective as traditional face-to-face instruction.8 Still other research works from the perspective ascribed by Ifenthaler: among edu- cational theorists, “there is widespread agreement… that educational applications of modern information and communication technologies can be more effective when they are embedded in multimedia learning environments created to enable productive learning”

     summary: Documentary evidence from other DL programs corroborated this notion and collaboration among DL programs. Research on innovation in the context of nonprofit organizations has been limited.8 As nonprofit organizations, academic libraries experience unique challenges compared to for-profit ones, in terms of external funding agency requirements, diverse user needs, and ethical issues.9 Additionally, a majority of innovation adoption research in DLs has primarily focused on the end users’ adoption of DLs or DL services, while only very few studies have focused on technology adoption.10 The current research, therefore, aims to fill an important gap by investigating the role of organizational level influ- ences and decision factors in adoption of an emerging technology to enhance services offered by DL programs.

     summary: She emphasizes the need to place library assessment in an institu- tional context, stating, “Not only should academic libraries align themselves with the missions of their institutions, they should also allow institutional missions to guide library assessment. Jon Hufford’s review article on the literature of assessment in academic libraries provides a valuable and wide-ranging overview of library assessment from the year 2005 to 2011.6 The focus of this review is on studies and reports showing the library’s relationship with institutionally relevant goals, such as student outcomes in learning and retention.

     summary: While there is little in the way of new information regarding the one-shot instructional model, the authors have produced an interesting and useful text that offers insights not only into the process of enhancing library instruction but also how the teaching faculty with whom they collaborated in that process perceive both the process in which they were engaged as well as the instructional sessions. In chapter 3, the authors focus, in satisfying depth, on the effort to develop a “lesson study approach” to library instruction, one that “is an itera- tive process comprising five steps that can be repeated as needed” (25).

     summary: Recognizing the paucity of quantitative and qualitative data from North American educational institutions that have pursued open access policies, the authors devised a survey to collect information on the characteristics of these institutions, as well as the elements of the open access policies, the methods of promoting these policies, faculty concerns about the poli- cies, and how those concerns have been addressed. The data collected through survey results from fifty-one institutions can inform the strategic decisions being made by other institutions considering an open access policy and illustrates the essential roles that academic libraries can play in the development and passage of open access policies.

      flesch: 45
     summary: Through the consid- eration of the University of Oslo’s Department of Geosciences’ Meteorol- ogy Section, the research found that data information literacy skills were relevant to the work of meteorology students. We have explored perceptions of data information literacy skills and attitudes on their instruction for graduate students in meteorology to discover if academic librarians are perceived as having a role.

     summary: Those sources include books and articles, as well as websites pro- viding more library-specific background on makerspace, in addition to sites relevant to the entrepreneurial “maker.” Chapter 2, “Getting Started with Makerspaces,” is one of the book’s stronger chap- ters. One minor criticism of the book is that it does not include even rudimentary analyses to assist either with planning makerspace hours of function or operation or of staff- ing levels and types.

     summary: This topic of author submissions was the subject of extended discussion at the Edito- rial Board meeting in Orlando this summer, where there was agreement that authors and reviewers needed more information and guidance about the process and best practices. Peer reviewers are volunteers with regular jobs, so these periods tend to coincide with busier times or times of hiatus.

     summary: Greg Tananbaum assessed the progress of these funds in SPARC’s 2014 “North American Campus-Based Open Access Funds: A Five-Year Progress Report” and found that their success can be measured in part by the more than $2 mil- lion that have been committed to fund nearly 4,000 research articles.5 Campus OA fund managers offered qualitative insights that the funds “underscore an institution’s com- mitment to the principles behind Open Access” and have enabled campuses to support authors who might not have published in open access journals otherwise, but the study did not consider how authors evaluate and interact with the funds. Open Access takes away this friction.” “…open access journals are still preferred to me over posting my paper on my own website (or a repository such as the one at UCB) because it removes one step in the process for other scientists trying to get a hold of some paper of mine they discovered on Pubmed.” FIGURE 5 How Does the UC Open Access Policy Impact Decision to Publish in an OA Journal with Article Processing Charges? 77% 12% 11% Would still pay an APC for immediate open access Would no longer publish in an OA journal because of UC Policy Other/comments Evaluating the Impact of Open Access at Berkeley 577

     summary: Overall, faculty librarians reported more positive perceptions of faculty status than nonfaculty librarians. Although these questions were worded too differently to be compared by t-test, when asked if faculty status—or the lack thereof—was a deciding factor in accepting their current position, faculty librarians showed average agreement of 3.83 compared to the 2.73 average nonfaculty response.

     summary: ”30 Faculty Source Requirements Studies looking at the effect of faculty requirements on the types of resources students are allowed to use in their papers are rare; even studies that take the concept into ac- count, such as Gilbert, are somewhat unusual.31 Davis tracked bibliographies of eco- nomics students over several years and found that neither librarian instruction nor the combination of instruction and an instructor’s encouragement to use scholarly sources had a significant effect on source use.32 However, in the fourth year of the analyses, there was a sharp increase in citations to scholarly journal articles when the instructor required at least five such sources. Survey Instrument The principal goals of the study were to determine what resources students consulted when they started their research for an assigned paper and what resources provided the majority of the information they actually used in their papers.

       title: The Value of Academic Libraries: Library Services as a Predictor of Student Retention
        date: 2016
       words: 6263
      flesch: 40
     summary: Lynch et al. found that, while provosts expect academic libraries to contribute to areas of institutional priority, such as enrollment and retention initiatives, they had little guidance on how to connect library practice to these areas.6 Indeed, the academic library may have played a passive role in such areas, with the result that their contributions are overlooked.7 Student engagement in certain educationally purposeful activities, such as first-year experiences, common intellectual experiences, writing-intensive courses, and service learning, has been noted repeatedly as impacting students’ satisfaction level with an institution, thus impacting departure decisions.8 Yet, a surprisingly high percentage of students are not engaged with their education in meaningful ways.9 Kuh indicated higher education institutions could take immediate steps toward improving engagement and retention by intentionally targeting different student populations with interventions bearing historical evidence of effectiveness.10 Kuh and Gonyea noted that educationally purposeful activities that nurture student engagement often require students to spend a considerable amount of time outside a formal classroom environment and that academic libraries provide an ideal informal academic environment for these types of practices.11 This study’s central question is “how does known library use affect students’ per- sistence?” Academic libraries, seeking to demonstrate their relevance in a performance-funding environment, will find little guidance on how to appropriately gather data or communicate impact to university administrators.4 Librarians working in academic libraries are eager to engage in initiatives supporting university priorities, even those that do not directly involve the library.

     summary: Though the challenges students face when selecting an interesting and manageable research topic are well known to librarians and instructors, little information literacy research has been conducted that systematically analyzes student research topics. ”19 Both of the tools used in this study (an evaluative rubric and qualitative analysis software) enable us to analyze the text of student research topics to establish meaning: in the case of the rubric, we can determine student research skill development; and, in the case of the qualitative software ATLAS.ti, we can discover thematic categories and subjects that students choose to write about.

        date: 2017
       words: 5449
      flesch: 29
     summary: We highlight the fact that the service mission of academic libraries is in alignment with service innovation and propose that aca- demic libraries respond to disruption by accelerating service innovation. Applying the Resources-Processes-Values framework, we recommend that, to facilitate service innovation, high-level administrators become in- novation leaders, foster an innovation-supportive culture, tie performance evaluations and rewards to innovation outcomes, and create dedicated innovation teams with high levels of decision-making autonomy.

     summary: The authors also note that instruction librarians should reveal parts of their personalities and their motivations to show through as they create a personality that they use for instruction, though doing so in a thoughtful, intentional way. Creating a script and practicing lines may help newer librarians, but in the long run creating a persona or a character that is markedly different from the personality of the librarian may feel inauthentic to some students and could inhibit any further interactions with the librarian or in the library.

     summary: From the educational perspective, just as many chapter authors note that academic libraries have been much slower to embrace the self-publishing revolution. The fourth chapter also addresses the issue of academics, as the author “presents reasons why academic libraries should consider collecting self-published books to meet the immediate and especially long-term needs of their users.”

     summary: Conceptual Framework The conceptual framework for this study is built upon Astin’s well-established Input- Environment-Output model, which hypothesizes that the background characteristics of college students (inputs) and relevant aspects of the college experience (environ- ment) influence outcomes.11 Adhering to this model, controls for inputs (such as sex, racial/ethnic identity, and precollege ratings of academic skills) and additional college experiences (such as campus climate, academic college of enrollment) were included as separate blocks in the models predicting students’ academic outcomes to isolate their contributions from the focal independent variables—students’ use of academic libraries in five broad areas. Results Academic Engagement The first model regressing students’ academic engagement on their precollege demo- graphics, collegiate experiences, and academic library use explained 35.7 percent of the variance in students’ academic engagement (table 2).

     summary: What is not fully addressed within academic library spaces is the top of Bloom’s Taxonomy pyramid: creating new knowledge. The value of an academic library as a physical space for studying and learning has been much studied, but the value of academic library space for fostering creative and innovative thinking has received considerably less attention.11 Some researchers have approached fostering creativity and innovation in academic libraries through play12 or through makerspaces.13

        date: 2017
       words: 8209
      flesch: 42
     summary: In the 324 range, it was found that many book titles ended with date ranges that citing documents tended to omit: the book Tory and Whig the struggle in the constituencies, 1701–1715 was cited only 7 times under its full title but 12 times as Tory and Whig the struggle in the constituencies. The Association of Research Libraries SPEC Kit 337: Print Retention Deci- sion Making noted that “Citation counts are often used as a criterion” in decisions on deselection; but no specific questions on the topic were asked in the survey of American academic libraries—and the technique barely rates a mention in the summary of re- sults—while the use of circulation data is noted in nearly all of the reports.13 A number of studies on the use of citation data in collection management relates to the analysis of citations by staff or students of a specific institution,14 and these provide useful insights into the value of the collection in specific cases; but the absence of a standard method- ology makes comparisons between these studies difficult.15 Detailed local studies of this kind are labor-intensive; while they can reveal rich insights into the use of library collections by scholars, they are essentially retrospective and not well adapted to the needs of a deselection exercise, which needs to be able to make determinations about all of the books in a collection, most of which will not have been cited by local authors.

      flesch: 52
     summary: Further, in 1994, Sayles examined the collection development policies of twenty-seven college libraries and noted that the policies were often contradictory with regard to textbooks, stressing the importance of collecting based on student need while dismissing textbooks as inappropriate for the collection.6 In 2005, Hsieh and Runner conducted a survey and collection development policy analysis that probed into libraries’ practices and policies surrounding the acquisition of textbooks and leisure reading materials.7 Sixty-one percent of respondents reported 68 College & Research Libraries January 2017 that their library had specific “no textbooks” policies, citing budgetary concerns as the primary reason for avoiding the practice and, second, that purchasing textbooks was the students’ responsibility.8 Pilot projects initiated after 2005 in response to these articles and the GAO report have focused on developing textbook reserve collections and services. While broad applicability of the model warrants further investigation, academic libraries may be bet- ter able to meet patron needs by implementing open textbook reserves.

     summary: The remaining questions asked subjects about their use of information sources and their evaluation of the reliability, validity, accuracy, authority, timeliness, and point of view or bias of Internet information sources. Studies have also shown that students do not appear to understand the information quality issues concerning Internet information sources and may lack the information literacy skills to make good choices concerning the use of these sources.

        date: 2017
       words: 11899
      flesch: 39
     summary: Lewis predicts that 90 percent of schol- arly peer-reviewed articles will be published in OA journals by 2020 or 2025.33 Lewis’s argument is worth considering in detail because he explicitly articulates the implicit assumptions of many who believe that Gold OA ultimately will relieve libraries of the burden of high-priced subscriptions. Lewis argues that OA journals eventually will have a significant advantage over subscription-based journals in attracting the best papers and authors.

     summary: This metareview of CRMS work found the process to be extremely reliable, ultimately exceeding a 99 percent accuracy rate.24 The CRMS’s Findings The CRMS process has been extremely important for a number of reasons. To help decision makers understand the role and extent of copyright renewal, Ringer’s study sought to determine the frequency with which copyright holders renewed their copyrights for a variety of types of creative works.

      flesch: 43
     summary: A solid professional performance on the part of academic librarians at present calls for adequate knowledge about copyright law, not only for the development of their own tasks without infringing the law, but also to guide and provide pertinent advice for library users (faculty and students). ost informational resources that make up university library collections are copyrighted works, meaning that a good proportion of the everyday activity of these libraries comes into contact with copyright law.

     summary: While International Studies Quarterly, the flagship journal of ISA, maintains its own site for replication data, other ISA journals such as International Studies Perspectives encourage their authors to post their data on the Dataverse. An additional advantage for the journal itself is that the availability of replication data increases citations to the articles and thus also measures of the prestige of the journal, such as the impact factor.15 Advance Submission of Data?

     summary: The University of Michigan Library became involved in the university’s novel funding program, MCubed, which supported innova- tive interdisciplinary research on campus, primarily by funding student assistants to work on research projects. Furthermore, the extent to which the librarians were involved in the projects, and the range of responsibilities they took on, suggest to others possibilities for involvement and collaboration in research projects.

     summary: Since it is impossible to know exactly what students do or do not know, it is best to err on the side of clarity and define the terms when necessary.6 There are only a handful of studies that identify information literacy terms least understood by students, with the goal of either improving communication between library staff and students or examining whether library terminology interferes with student understanding. It is recommended that librarians work with faculty to make them aware of students’ lack of understanding of information literacy terms and that librarians also reinforce their meaning during library instruction and in one-on-one consultations.

       words: 8995
      flesch: 40
     summary: In a literature review on graduate students and library instruction, Barbara Blummer notes that there have been a large variety of instructional efforts aimed at graduate students including faculty-librarian partnerships, seminars and workshops, and for-credit courses.10 Expanding Support for Graduate Students: 299 Library instruction for graduate students has been shown to increase both skill level and confidence, regardless of the mode of delivery.11 Workshops specifically targeting the unique needs of graduate students increase proficiency and help students feel more effective and efficient in their information seeking.12 Involving a librarian can also help to reduce graduate student attrition and improve degree completion rates.13 Librar- ians can assist graduate students in determining how to begin and proceed through the literature research process, alleviating the associated anxiety many students ex- perience along the way.14 In doing this, librarians establish meaningful relationships with those they serve and become a trusted partner, consequently fulfilling students’ affective needs, such as those tied to successful socialization into a discipline, that are commonly overlooked within the traditional structure of the academy. Promotion and Marketing to Graduate Students In the focus group discussions about improvements to the workshop, a significant trend emerged concerning the need for the library to develop better communication strategies with graduate students.

     summary: Although there is clearly a robust and active discourse in the literature on librarians as researchers and librarians embedded in the research process, there has been little discussion of the actual experiences and learning gained by academic librarians who are actively engaging as research partners in faculty research projects. Method The purpose of this study is to explore and highlight the experience and learning of academic librarians embedded in faculty research projects.

     summary: Reimagining the Academic Library provides both a succinct overview of the external forces that have been driving change in academic libraries for more than the past two decades as well as proposed steps academic library leaders and librarians should take to address these forces and help complete the transition to a relevant, digital 21st-century academic library. Every academic library will have members who have different levels of comfort with change, but one of the strengths of this book is that, in presenting short summaries of the various forces that have been impacting academic libraries, Lewis provides historical background and context for librarians who may not be as familiar with how the economic factors in scholarly communication and how the transition to digital content is changing our collections.

In addition to comparing ILL requests and SFTARs for each title, we also assigned each title a subject category and compared ILL requests and SFTARs for each cat- egory.

As seen in table 3, the Netherlands has had the highest contribution rate, by publish- ing 5,321 OA papers, followed by the United States, Germany, the United Kingdom, China, Japan, Poland, Italy, Spain, France, and Norway, respectively. Delft Univer- sity of Technology, Wageningen University, the University of Amsterdam, and the University of Utrecht were supported by the Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research (NOW) in their efforts to publish OA papers, allocating funding resources to OA contributions.

     summary: That our values pose ethical dilemmas for us in practice is a good thing and should be welcomed by us: from debating such dilemmas comes strength of mission.”— David McMenemy1 Introduction Higher education institutions (HEIs) are aggregating and analyzing student data, in- formation, and the digital trails they leave in information systems to better understand student behaviors. Third, the ability to sur- veil students also allows institutions and content vendors to expand the use of digital rights management technologies; moreover, it creates conditions where institutions and content vendors may use student data as a bartering chip in contract negotiations.

Applications for Vignettes in LIS Research Few published examples of the use of vignettes in LIS research exist: Urquhart and Crane used vignettes to elicit information-seeking habits and perception levels among nursing staff at a health college in the United Kingdom.29 Connor described and rec- ommended the use of vignettes in training clinical researchers.30 Walden compiled a sample of strategies and methodologies, including vignettes, that may be used with focus groups to increase or enhance participant interactions.31 Walden also suggested possible but general library connections for various methods drawn primarily from medicine and social science research.

     summary: Many studies have explored such kind of scholarly collaboration from a variety of perspectives; however, it seems that no previous citation analyses have particularly looked at engineering faculties’ collaboration patterns being investigated in this current study. Additionally, in the research works of aerospace, civil and environmental, and electrical and computer engineering faculty, nearly 80 percent of book citations were less than 25 years old.

Pew reported that 11 percent of cell-phone owning teens aged 13–17 were using some type of anonymous-sharing app in 2015.28 One anonymous app targeted specifically at high school students, Afterschool, was on 22,300 campuses in December 2015.29 Teenagers who are regularly interacting on anonymous platforms and seeking help from their peers will be the next generation of academic library users.

     summary: In doing so, this case study and its authors illustrate the shared responsibility for student learning in information literacy reflected in the As- sociation of College and Research Libraries in ACRL’s Framework for Information Literacy for Higher Education (hereafter ACRL Framework), which calls for librarians, teaching faculty, and administrators to collaborate more extensively: to redesign instruction sessions, assignments, courses, and even curricula; to connect information literacy with student success initiatives; to collaborate on pedagogical research and involve students themselves in that research; and to create wider conversations about student learning, the scholarship of teaching and learning, and the assessment of learning on local campuses and beyond.3 Further, our research shows that a trilateral approach to information literacy in- creases efficacy and a sense of shared responsibility for librarians, writing center staff, and course instructors in support of student research in ways traditional bilateral approaches do not. The Charter stipulates that library instruction sessions focus on facilitating the development of transferable information literacy skills through the use of active learning rather than on “teaching the tool,” while the Core Competencies acknowledge that information literacy is the shared responsibility of librarians and faculty and that students develop and build information literacy competency in context and through experience.

     summary: In fact, early exploration of open review by Kathleen Fitzpatrick and Avi Santo outlines the need for open review to be formed by each community adopting it.5 However, for purposes of this editorial, a functional definition is that OPR allows for the disclosure of author and referee identities to one another, and supports the publication of referee reports and author responses on the open web. Moreover, librarians providing instruction may consider utilizing OPR publications and processes as article examples in instruction, or even develop instructional activities engaging with OPR.

     summary: Many academic libraries have found that GIS Day is an excellent opportunity to highlight GIS applications across disciplines, raise awareness of library GIS services, and make connections.18 Previous literature not only describes library GIS services by scope, but also by depth of service.19 The first level of GIS service was described as serving users with little experience, where a basic mapping tool is introduced. In the downstream, GIS data services can be developed around spatial data organization, metadata creation, online spatial data visualization, or data dissemination via a spatial data portal.

     summary: Solo library residents can find their residencies to be overwhelming and isolat- ing experiences, especially in the case of diversity library residents. These guidelines expected host institutions to report diversity efforts, offer residencies that were a minimum of one year in length with the possibility of a one-year extension, not consider the residency as a probationary employment period, be large enough to manage residencies effectively, include an educational component for residents, and offer residents salaries that were equivalent to starting salaries for other beginning professionals.34 Evaluation of Academic Library Residency Programs 477 Affirmative Action and Residency Programs Starting in the 1980s, library residency programs were shaped by affirmative action policies that aimed to increase the number of librarians of color in academic libraries.

     summary: Iriberri and Leroy25 reviewed the literature and identified the following benefits of online communities for individuals: • Information exchange—access a to a wide variety of members, information, and experiences • Social support—opportunity to provide/receive support, build and maintain social ties, and bond socially and generate social action • Social interaction—opportunity to meet people and build friendships • Time and location flexibility—flexible access to the community, flexible time management, and spatial and temporal independence • Permanency—ability to edit responses, ability to archive and search messages, ability to establish permanent social presence through photographs and text, and ability to control one’s level of participation in the community Researchers in different disciplines have studied online communities with differ- ent emphases—in computer science, technology media and mechanisms is the focus; in sociology, physical versus virtual community comparisons have attracted most researchers; in management, the emphasis is on the value of user-generated content; in psychology, relationship and attachment among community members have been extensively investigated; in information systems, researchers have concentrated on development, implementations, outcomes, and applications of online communities.26 Multiple theories have also been adopted to examine online communities, such as technology acceptance model (TAM), trust theory, social cognitive theory, social capital theory, social learning theory, social network theory, commitment theory, and social influence theory.27 The area of online community research most relevant to our study is the exploration of determinants for online community success. 512 Developing Online Communities for Librarian Researchers: A Case Study Lili Luo, Marie Kennedy, Kristine Brancolini, and Michael Stephens* This study examines the role of online communities in connecting and sup- porting librarian researchers, through the analysis of member activities in the online community for academic librarians that attended the 2014 Institute for Research Design in Librarianship (IRDL).

     summary: In general, traditional education seemed to work best for knowledge tests involving remembering key terms and concepts, whereas PBL students often, though not always, performed better in practice or skill-based environments. During the last couple of decades, government leaders and educators have become increasingly concerned about the need to prepare a workforce for these high- skill jobs.1 The ability to find information and statistics on the open web from reliable sources has become an essential skill across many fields.2 Librarians are increasingly looking for ways to build these transferable “lifelong learning” skills, which go well beyond teaching college students how to use subscription databases to find scholarly articles for academic assignments.3 Few studies examine effective research skills among nontraditional college students.

       title: Salary Negotiation Patterns between Women and Men in Academic Libraries
        date: 2018
       words: 6555
      flesch: 40
     summary: Researchers surveyed professional librarians employed in ARL (Association of Research Libraries) member institutions and found that women were statistically less likely than their male counterparts to engage in salary negotiations; and, when they did negotiate, they were less successful than men. In national discussions, salary negotiation and wage discrepancy trends are well studied, particularly from a gender perspective.4 Such trends are of particular interest in academic libraries, as evidenced by the yearly ARL salary survey, which studies equity within the profession.

     summary: We discovered two gaps in the literature: the absence of a comprehensive, up-to-date snapshot of library PA systems and the need for a better understanding of job feedback in library PA systems. ”32 Similarly, whether writing about competencies and proficiencies or some other method for evaluating a subset of library work, authors should discuss how the evalu- ation method is, or could be, included in library PA systems.

     summary: Students need to be aware of what should be included in an image citation, how to format image citations by using accepted documentation styles, and how to adapt cita- tions to a variety of end products (presentations or posters, for example).6 Benjamin R. Harris7 and Molly J. Schoen8 both describe the importance of teaching image citation in visual literacy instruction programs, but they do not describe image citing in detail. In an article on the development of ACRL’s Visual Literacy Competency Standards for Higher Education, Denise Hattwig, Kaila Bussert, Ann Medaille, and Joanna Burgess write: Image citation is a foundation issue in academic contexts; images are part of the scholarly conversation that is supported by consistent citation practices.

      flesch: 49
     summary: Scholarly communities have traditionally recognized innovative and valued discoveries through peer review—peer reviewed articles, scholarly mono- graphs, competitive grants, etc. Some of the issue with peer review may be the concerns around “peer”—that those chosen to evaluate may be more concerned with protecting their own reputation or research agenda, or that they may be entrenched in the status quo and thus more likely to dismiss any discovery or research that threatens it.

     summary: These data show that, overall, ELLs students scored slightly lower than their non-ELL counterparts and that ELLs, on the average, found the LOOP more useful than their non- ELL colleagues. Librarians who begin researching the term will find that ELL is an umbrella term that not only includes ESL students and language minority students (the two specific populations that are identified in this study), but also includes other groups like non-native English speakers, international students, and generation 1.5 students.

Less com- mon responses included classroom playback equipment support not being a part of the department’s long-term strategic planning (33%), the existence of a campus digitization service (30%), and budget reductions (11%).

     summary: While the book is written as advice for minority librarians, the personal stories can also help people who are not minorities become more attuned to the pressures and expectations facing their colleagues and other staff members of color. The stories illustrate that, instead presenting the graying of the profession as a crisis, it is an opportunity for the profession to step up efforts to recruit, retain, and promote minority librarians so that they can fill the ranks of retiring management and leader- ship.—Jenny S.

The work of those organizations makes the need for and development of a standardization framework, as well as core competencies in data curation education, evident.43 Goodsett and Koziura reviewed shifts from a traditional library curriculum to an information science cur- riculum circa 2005, which emphasized data and technology.44 Palmer noted increased discussions of best practices for data curation in Library and Information Science (LIS) programs and continuing education since 2010.45 Varvel, Elin, and Palmer conducted a study of various programs in 2012, revealing the curriculum in LIS education for data professionals had “been attached great importance.

     summary: By contrasting the views, needs, and expectations of the three populations studied, findings from the study show that greater collaboration and com- munication among faculty, librarians, and students is needed to improve students’ information literacy skills. This study extends the literature on the subject by bringing together current views and opinions of the three populations involved to present a more comprehensive view of the challenges confronted by academia regarding teaching and student acquisition of information literacy skills.

     summary: In addition to describing the impacts of participating in journal clubs, study participants also provided thoughts on what makes a journal club successful as well as potential achievements of journal club. The application of evidence-based practice is more effective when discussions and readings are recorded for later consultation (as also argued by Vilelle and Young).25 As found in Pearce-Smith’s survey, journal club participation was reported to increase librarians’ capacity for understanding and conducting research.26 Vilelle and Young’s findings on organizational benefits of journal club participa- tion were further expanded in the present study, offering concrete examples of how journal clubs can help to build a “research culture” and fuel further action within the organization.27 As indicated in previous surveys on the impacts of journal club participation,28 some respondents did not attribute journal club participation to changes in their practice or benefits for their users.

     summary: The research designs of Soria et al. are more robust than other studies examining bivariate correlations between students’ use of libraries and success outcomes because they take into consideration factors that might also bear weight on student outcomes (such as demographic variables). The nearest variable we had to capture the physical benefits of academic libraries in our study was students’ use of workstations, although it would be far more preferable to use variables such as library entrance data or Wi-Fi location data to more effectively measure the impact of the physical attributes of libraries on student outcomes.

     summary: But when it comes to the idea that articles published in Open Access journals are of lower quality than those published in subscription-based journals, it is faculty who express the strongest agreement.27 Finally, graduate students agree more strongly than both faculty28 and postdoctoral research- ers/others29 that the amount of an article processing charge reflects the quality of the journal. But these two subject areas differ somewhat when it comes to the idea that articles published in Open Access journals are of lower quality than those published in subscription-based journals, with those from social science agreeing slightly more with this statement than those from arts/humanities.31 Open

     summary: With the widespread adoption of research guides, the academic library community has begun to explore the connec- tion between research guide usability and student learning, with the aim of designing guides in a way that increases their effectiveness as pedagogical tools.1 A growing body of literature on the usability of LibGuides, a widely used platform for creating online re- search guides, identifies several common usability challenges within these guides—from use of library jargon to lack of visual focal point to extraneous content.2 Such usability challenges can be an impediment to learning because they add to students’ cognitive overload as they undertake the challenging work of academic research.3 While librarians creating LibGuides can draw on this existing research to identify best practices and common usability pitfalls for their own guides, there is a relative lack of research into design choices made at the system level rather than at the guide level.

     summary: While the previous study examined the information literacy skills and possible predic- tors of information literacy skills among first-year students who had not yet declared a major, this study focuses on teacher education students in junior-level courses. To ameliorate this deficiency, teacher educators and librarians alike have encouraged collaboration between the two to effectively teach information literacy skills to students.26 Nonetheless, a review of the literature reveals a lack of studies that provide a direct assessment of the information literacy skills among teacher education students.

     summary: Survey Data and Analysis The author downloaded the survey data from SurveyMonkey and analyzed CS and language use data in Excel, and then in SPSS 21 using independent samples t-tests to look for associations between mean scores in language use variables (CS, language domains, information tasks, and language ability) and demographic grouping variables, which include student status (undergraduate or graduate), immigration status (permanent or temporary status), first-generation student status, gender, and race/ethnicity. Carol Myers-Scotton, a linguist writing in the 1990s about research in code-switching, summarizes Gumperz’s characterization of CS as the use of language codes as a type of “social strategy” and extends it to include not only changing languages for content, but speakers using it to frame discourse to show social mean- ings like solidarity or power relations.5

     summary: Library school students, particularly those interested in instructional design, could also derive value from Baer’s analysis of the Frameworks and of current practices of and expectations for information literacy instruction. Baer’s penultimate chapter tackles the more sensitive topic of the marginalization of both writing and information literacy instruction in higher education.

     summary: Unlike other books that deal with writing, the heavy focus on the importance of reading for comprehension plays an important role in producing quality writing. Also unlike other books on writing, the author stresses that it is the process that is more important to student learning and improved writing than the final product.

     summary: To conclude the experience, library staff assisted teaching staff in organizing a miniconference hosted in the library at which student research teams presented their research findings, providing a “safe” environment for them to practice presentation and academic communication skills and gain an understanding of how skills in marketing, media, design, and event planning can contribute to the dissemination of scholarly work and the building of professional profiles. Backed by funding to undertake a structured assessment of the success of the journal in contributing to student learning outcomes, the Purdue University program has demonstrated that students “developed important information literacy competencies.”15

     summary: Ringer used the total number of book registrations listed in the FY1932 Annual Report for Class A (57,065) (see table 6) as her number of registrations, and the total number of renewals from the July 1958 through June 1959 CCEs (3,942).39 From these sources, Ringer determined the renewal rate for Class A materials was 7 percent.40 As Wilkin noted, those copyrights include thousands of nonbook materials.41 This study determined that it is likely that the Copyright Office deposited book registrations in the pamphlet volume, making the range of 10,820–13,460 a more accurate reflection of all books pub- lished for 1932, regardless of their importance.

     summary: Escalating cost pressures, in addition to concerns about intellectual property owner- ship, have spurred resistance against the markets and institutions of academic publish- 796 College & Research Libraries September 2018 ing from faculty and other university stakeholders.44 Examples of this resistance include faculty boycotts of Elsevier (http://www.thecostofknowledge.com), cancellations of big deal bundles with large publishers and “flipping” journals from publisher affiliation to independent open access.45 Despite these initiatives, journal costs continue to rise above inflation rates, and profit margins for large publishers remain substantially higher than most other industries.46 Scholars need journals to conduct their research and to teach students, so the demand curve for academic journals will be difficult to shift. Access to academic journals is essential for scholars to be aware of existing research and to disseminate their own findings.2 Fei Shu is a Professor at Chinese Academy of Science and Education Evaluation (CASSE), Hangzhou Dianzi University and is an Associated Researcher at École de bibliothéconomie et des sciences de l’information, Université de Montréal, e-mail: fei.shu28@gmail.com; Philippe Mongeon is a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Center for Science and Technology Studies (CWTS), Leiden University, e-mail: p.mongeon@cwts. leidenuniv.nl; Stefanie Haustein is an Assistant Professor at School of Information Studies, University of Ottawa and is an Associated Researcher at Observatoire des Sciences et des Technologies (OST), Centre Interuniversitaire de Recherche sur la Science et la Technologie (CIRST), Université du Québec à Montréal, e-mail: stefanie.haustein@uottawa.ca; Kyle Siler is Postdoctoral Researcher at Utrecht University, e-mail: ksiler@gmail.com; Juan Pablo Alperin is an Assistant Professor at Simon Fraser University, e-mail: juan@ alperin.ca; and Vincent Larivière is an Associate Professor at École de bibliothéconomie et des sciences de l’information, Université de Montréal and is the Associate Scientific Director at Observatoire des Sciences et des Technologies (OST), Centre Interuniversitaire de Recherche sur la Science et la Technologie (CIRST),

     summary: In many cases, academic libraries are the natural organizations to lead ef- forts to implement recommendations from journals, funders, and societies to improve research reproducibility. Eligible candidates are required to demonstrate knowledge of “research integrity, research reproducibility, and open science” while also developing and teaching workshops on various tools like Open Science Framework, and specialized software like R.43 Other institutions have started adding reproducibility to job descriptions along with research services and data management.

     summary: Lived experience can be succinctly stated as “life as we live it,”1 but lived experience in research encompasses the percep- tions, feelings, and context of an experience.2 In studying the human experience, lived experience is a methodological concept derived from phenomenology.3 The application of lived experience research is visible in such disciplines as psychology, sociology, social work, public health, education, and among researchers seeking to understand human experience in a manner that centers and acknowledges every aspect of a subject’s life and identity.5 Boylorn argues that the utility of lived experience research is that “separate life experiences can resemble and respond to larger public and social themes, creating space for storytelling, interpreta- tion, and meaning-making.

     summary: The results of this study indicate that, compared with UT, PKU students on the whole expressed higher ratings in many areas toward the user education programs provided by their respective library, and they also had a more positive view about the professional competence of the user education (reference services) librarians. Under this high-level, Western-style, inquiry-based–learning en- vironment, PKU students are expected to create questions of their own, obtaining supporting evidence (information) to answer questions to cope with the assignment requirements, and to meet teachers’ expectations.

     summary: The program addresses many of the research barriers identified by academic librarians, including lack of research skills, lack of research confidence, lack of time, lack of a research community, and lack of institutional support—with an emphasis on providing librarians with appropriate training in research methods, which builds research confidence, and with time to focus attention on a single research project within a supportive environment. Some of the obstacles to conducting research are reported as lack of time to complete a research project, unfamiliarity with the research process, lack of support for research (both emotional and monetary), lack of research confidence, discourag- ing jargon, inadequate education in research methods, and lack of motivation.16

     summary: Staff time is valuable and finite, and, although the Google system performed functionally, the increasing importance and popularity of collaborative work spaces should encourage libraries to select room reservation systems that function automatically to enforce policies and procedures. Additionally, the design process should be undertaken with professional planners and architects and be completed with the understanding of the growing importance of communal working spaces to users and students.10 Also, in keeping with the forward-thinking trend of increased library digitization, room reservation systems should be available online and easily navigable via the main library homepage.

The activities that the librarian was expected to perform were murky, and the teaching faculty at times had different expectations from those of the librarian.9 Drawing from different research studies, Hoffman and Ramin establish a set of best practices for interacting with online students: creating a library module open to each online student, posting the librarian’s contact information in the course, posting in a single library- specific discussion board, posting information proactively, and including visuals in discus- sion board posts.10 Kvenild and colleagues surveyed a range of librarians at an open forum of two professional conferences about the most effective communication habits of librarians in embedded courses and found similar anecdotal advice.

     summary: Several respondents spoke to the different role and rights associated with institutional repositories as con- trasted with other digital collections. A survey conducted in the spring of 2017 focused on the process of decision mak- ing by digital librarians for takedown requests in digital collections at ARL member institutions.

     summary: Correlation between Student Completion and Overall Marks There is a weak to moderate positive correlation between students’ final mark for the unit and the number of modules students completed. Online modules have greater potential for integration into the curriculum than face-to-face one-shot sessions, given there is less competition for time with other priorities within the curriculum.

     summary: The specific objectives were: • Discover key bibliometric trends of CUB Geological Sciences faculty publications in- cluding the publications in which the faculty’s work most frequently appears, the most frequently cited publications, and the average age of works the faculty cite in their publications; • Detect gaps in the earth sciences serials collection by identifying the most frequently cited works missing from the library’s collection; • Advance a streamlined, programmatic methodology for collecting citation data from the Web of Science database; and • Develop an automated or semiautomated process for reconciling faculty citation data to the local library holdings data. In a 2009 review of citation analysis studies, Allen Ashman suggests that future methodological approaches to citation studies will soon evolve to become deeper, more precise, and involve huge data sets—all incurring less effort by the researcher.5

     summary: The right of librarians to engage in research and scholarship within academic libraries has been acknowledged by library associations both within and outside Canada7 and national organizations such as the Canadian Association of University Teachers (CAUT) and American As- sociation of University Professors (AAUP).8 Research and scholarship are typically required of academic librarians employed in ARL member libraries seeking tenure or continuing appointment.9 Four out of five (81%) of Canadian academic librarians who are members of university associations have “scholarly activities” included in their “actual workload or potential workload. This line of inquiry examines to what extent academic librarians employed at Canadian universities have academic freedom with respect to the right to conduct research and scholarship and to pursue unrestricted lines of inquiry in their scholar- ship.

Just as the programs for peer learning are different, so are the methods of recruiting, training, mentoring, and continuing to educate students.

Authenticity and the challenges in capturing digital records are also important to the second paradox.

     summary: The literature is at best anecdotal on this topic, tending to convey an assumption that web scale tools are well suited for novice users and uses while subject-specific databases can best serve more advanced discovery needs.3 Moreover, while libraries have produced a wealth of research to understand and evaluate web scale discovery tools in recent years, they have dedicated comparatively little evaluative attention to subject-specific databases, many of which are also known as abstracting and indexing (A&I) services.4 Accordingly, while there is an accumulation of research on topics ranging from the configuration of web scale tools to their usability, there is a comparative lack of evidence with which libraries may discern and * Alexa L.

     summary: (xv) Participatory heritage groups are often DIY efforts, and they can be notoriously difficult for top-down, professionally driven organizations to work with. Heritage groups want their material (archives, websites, and the like) for their own ends, and those often fly in the face of stability, continuity, and preservation.

     summary: At some institutions, student research was approached with a festive air and competitive spirit, such as at Kennesaw State University. Multiple chapters discuss support of undergraduate research journals, such as at the New College of Florida, where students doing an independent study were inspired to start a research journal of their own.

     summary: Articles speak about creative library outreach events, but there is a gap in the literature regarding more systematic approaches to multiple outreach events, how those events inform and build upon each other, and how the total body of library outreach events provides value to the library’s mission. The library literature would be well served by additional studies that research and demonstrate the value of systematic approaches to library outreach programs.

     summary: Increasing Leisure Reading among University Students Using E-readers with Audio 357 Literature Review Many researchers note that college students today are reading fewer books than in previ- ous generations.2 In a 2004 Pew Research Foundation study, the typical 18- to 29-year-old had started or completed five books in a twelve-month period.3 This number goes up when individuals increase education attainment levels. Students participated in the study by completing self-reported surveys before and after a semester-long read- ing engagement program.

     summary: It may well seem odd to ask libraries to start paying for open access articles from eLife, but the libraries will experience savings with subscription content, which is a larger proportion of the literature, when the funders cover their share of the sponsored articles published. The proportion of the recent literature that is now open access is approaching 50 percent, to judge from a number of studies.1 In addition, the major funding agencies have open access policies in place on a global scale, while the large corporate publishers have a growing number of open access journals and hybrid options.

     summary: Albatross Press was founded by an unlikely trio of seasoned European publishing professionals: Christian Wegner, who had been dismissed as the managing editor of Tauchnitz a year before; John Holroyd Reece, a British publisher of German Jewish descent, owner of Pegasus Press in Paris; and Kurt Enoch, the owner of a small Jewish Hamburg publishing firm. With editorial headquarters in Paris, funded by British capital, using the Milan printing facilities of Mondadori and the German marketing and distribution center in Hamburg, Albatross set out to compete with and ultimately conquer Tauchnitz in 1934.

     summary: The present study aims to address this gap by exploring role and responsibility changes as experienced by librarians in Canada’s 15 research-intensive universities (U15).1 This article presents the results of a survey designed to meet the following objectives: identify librarians’ new and emerging roles, gauge confidence levels of librarians in new roles, identify librarians’ training needs, measure librarians’ job satisfaction relative to new roles, and report on librarians’ perceived impact of their roles on the academic enterprise. His report provides Reinventing Ourselves 47 a timely snapshot of this developing role.38 He further expands on this work when he delves into the factors that led to the emphasis on UX and its benefits and challenges.39 As librarians shift from collecting, organizing, and preserving materials to creating, shar- ing, disseminating, and curating knowledge, new roles related to scholarly communication are emerging.

      flesch: 48
     summary: In light of the uncertainties recounted above, and owing to the fact that no one has yet looked into the scholarly impact of PDA books, it would seem worthwhile to examine whether books provided by vendors or publishers via approval plans or e-book packages, purchased by librarians via firm ordering, or acquired via PDA/DDA programs produce a greater schol- arly impact. As well, given the uncertainty surrounding the various types of academic library patrons as purchasers of scholarly works, it would also seem worthwhile to examine whether PDA books acquired by the various types of patrons are of commensurate interest to scholars.

     summary: The use of student reference workers, successful library instruction ses- sions, and replacing the traditional reference desk model for an appointment approach may be alternative explanations.26 On a more philosophical note, Harley, Dreger, and Knobloch commented on the role of postmodern thinking in shaping student perceptions. The authors, three faculty librarians at UT (liaisons for engineering, health and human services, and nursing) developed and distributed a survey to UT students with the aim of answering the following research questions: • Are there differences in characteristics among students who do or do not use library reference services?

Librarians who transition into management and admin- istrative roles in academic libraries often find themselves there with little or even no preparatory training; and, once there, common problems and best principles and practices are more often than not learned on the job.

     summary: The first was based on level of faculty OER engagement based on three combined categories: low engagement through awareness activities (such as joining a listserv, participating in professional development activities, or requesting access to review an existing OER text) (n = 18, 12.0%), moderate engagement through adoption or adapting existing OER resources for primary or supplemental use (n = 65, 42.0%), or high engagement through building/sharing new OER (n = 71, 46.0%). If those courses were to move to OER materials, the savings to students could be on the order of $10.5 million annually, simply for one institution.14 By way of comparison, in the same year, NOVA students spent approximately $13 million on textbooks just through the college’s contracted bookstore.15 Fische, Hilton, Robinson, and Wiley reported a 6 percent improvement in the success rate (defined as reduced drops, withdraws, and final grade of C or better) in both face-to-face and online sections employing OER.16

     summary: If yes, why (familiarity, ease of access, or other reasons)? Have you noticed that students encounter difficulties in finding library materials? One music professor giving many private instrumental lessons remarked that: there are etudes that I use every semester for the duration [of a student’s program], books that we constantly refer to, and then as I want them to branch out into other styles, we may do three or four weeks of etudes out of one book that we use from the library and then another book—that is when I use more library materials.

     summary: As this literature review will show, research tentatively suggests that finances, field of study, and personal benefits (including tenure incentives) may motivate OA authors. A third study also explored biomedical publishing and found that, instead of discipline, a major source of differences in OA uptake was the authors’ “past knowledge-disclosure practices,” such as in commercial patents versus open-source software.11 Our study hoped to clarify both the prevalence of the various motives for OA authors and the extent of disciplinary differences.

     summary: The flexibility offered by the Framework can be a good thing, of course, offering librarians the freedom to reimagine information literacy instruction in an almost limitless variety of ways. In terms of implementing the Framework with students, several interviewees mentioned using the frames to develop learning outcomes for information literacy instruction.

     summary: The researcher developed the above questions based on a combination of professional interest, anecdotal input from the library liaison community, a lack of available information about liaison burnout, and the functionality of the MBI/AWS instrument combination. By combining burnout levels with employee perceptions of workplace qualities, we gain a better-rounded understanding of employees’ overall happiness at work.

      flesch: 32
     summary: We performed a broad review of the literature to identify a suitable method for analyzing the authority of student sources, eventually settling on and making modest modifications to a faceted taxonomy developed by Chris Leeder, Karen Markey, and Elizabeth Yakel in 2012.3 The taxonomy of Leeder, Markey, and Yakel is a “format neutral” rating system that eliminates artificial distinctions between print and online resources. To say that corporately authored, self-published works by nonprofit organizations (subfacet combination 3C4A5C) at 6.8 percent narrowly edged out similar works by both commercial entities (subfacet combina- tion 3C4A5B) at 6.2 percent, and government entities (subfacet combination 3C4A5E) at 5.3 percent provides a somewhat clearer picture of student source selection; moreover, it provides us with an easy and value-neutral means of describing subtly distinct types of material.

     summary: Chapter 2 breaks down what the author means when she talks about “fun” as an instructional element, offers supporting arguments in favor of fun as an intentional part of instructional design, and introduces the reader to the three kinds of instructional fun she intends to discuss: humor, games, and group work. The book is a pragmatic-minded, approachable volume designed to introduce readers to the benefits of including fun as an element in instructional design and the theories underlying fun as a motivational tool, as well as provide a set of example lesson plans that integrate fun and specifically address the ACRL Threshold Concepts.

     summary: It is a nice idea with a couple of major caveats: the first being the standard tyranny of the alphabet (which anyone with a last name beginning with a letter in the last half of the alphabet can probably provide numerous examples of why this is an issue; and the second being the systems and conventions that have been set up to publish, discover and acknowledge published information perpetuate the first author preference with all oth- ers being relegated to “et al.” Marušić, et al. did a systematic review of authorship practices across disciplines. Editorial Authorship and the Consideration of Alternatives Bruce E. Herbert and Wendi Arant Kaspar Originally, this editorial was intended as a discussion of authorship norms across disciplines—a seemingly harmless topic relevant to academic libraries given libraries provide guidance and access to knowledge in all disciplines and can serve as the linchpin in multi-, inter- or trans- disciplinary research.

The organization of the book is logical and easy to follow; it begins with a longitudinal look at data librarianship, including the origins of data libraries and data archives in the 1960s and 1970s, fol- lowed by an examination of drivers that have shaped the field over the decades.

     summary: As a result of the polarizing nature of this debate, many people have come to view references to a gender wage gap with a learned sense of either bitter injustice or decided skepticism—effectively hearing only what they want to from reports about gender wage gap statistics. Those who side with the idea that there is a gender wage gap are quick to respond to the adjusted wage gap argument by referencing the fact that, although adjusted wage gap models substantially reduce the pay gap between men and women, they still often show a sizable and unexplained difference in pay.

     summary: However, as a steward of a scholarly journal, as an author of professional publications, and as an educator of information literacy and scholarly methods, I do have some thoughts I would like to share about what is happening with university presses, the impact on higher education, and on knowledge dissemination. FIGURE 1 Knowledge Tug of War Witnessing this tension as well as the various news stories about university presses (from closures and budget reductions to restructuring where it seems almost commonplace now that the University Press is moving under the library), it prompts me to ask what the purpose of the scholarly press is.

      flesch: 12
     summary: Students whose identities higher education has traditionally marginalized may face cultural barriers in higher education, which has implications for students’ academic engagement and sense of belonging.17 Despite the prevalence of research addressing the relationship between academic outcomes and race/ethnicity and social class in the higher education literature, similar research is glaringly absent from the LIS literature, an omission that seems particularly striking in relation to scholarship about information literacy and student success. Students demonstrate their information literacy through literacy events, such as research assignments, situated within a specific cultural context,27 in which students must know “the codes used by the community and the customs and conventions in play”28 and “non-conforming students are [viewed as] ‘rejects.’”29

     summary: Conclusion This paper originated as an exploration of the relation between journal downloads and journal citations. In the long run, if download statistics are to be a credible and reliable tool for estimating usage, it seems that it would be advisable for libraries to develop a uniform interface for downloading articles from all publishers and to maintain their own records of journal downloads, which they would share as public information.

     summary: Namely, respondents indicated that a lack of resources, the utility of assessment data on campus, and organizational tensions had a negative impact upon their ability to use information literacy assessment data to legitimize themselves as educators. The Utility of Information Literacy Assessment Data Another challenge to using information literacy assessment data to confer legitimacy was the actual utility of the data itself; namely, the meaningfulness of the data both in terms of their value for personal practice and professional identity, as well as for improving status and agency within the library and institution.

     summary: Author Charles Cole’s understanding of human consciousness is built foundationally upon the work of evolutionary psychologist Merlin Donald, who visualized the development of human cognition in four phases, with three transitions. According to Donald’s Theory of Mind, preceding types of cognition do not cease to exist after human cognition transitions to a new phase, but exist as four layers within the modern consciousness.

      flesch: 24
     summary: A promi- nent series of studies by Hernon and his colleagues used job posting analysis, interviews, and the Delphi method to identify attributes of directors in major research libraries in North America.20 Emotional intelligence became a focused area in later studies.21 Lewis reviewed what competencies were highly valued at the executive level in academic libraries; he found that there is a universality of leadership competencies across professional fields.22 Le’s study of library leaders identified five leader qualities.23 Martin surveyed how followers described positive leaders; he found seven themes for past leaders and six themes of future leader traits.24 With various lists of desirable leadership capabilities identified, there seems to be a dearth of effort in connecting them to leadership development. More important, the survey method and data analysis demonstrate a workable way for other libraries or consortia to explore leadership capabilities using a set of common vocabulary, with which they can initiate discussion on how leader- ship competencies play out among their librarians at different levels, and to provide basis for further discourse on leadership competencies and leadership experiences relevant to their own context.

     summary: This study sought to determine if mental illness stigma affects academic librarians and their professional environments, including teaching and providing services for students, using a survey modeled on one from the psychological literature. Replicating this survey in a few years could potentially show some change in the academic climate regarding mental illness stigma and mental health issues.

     summary: Mech reported that 97 percent of the library directors he surveyed had attained a library degree—an almost universal job require- ment at any size college or university in the 1980s.11 Researchers noticed the job market tight- ened in libraries during the 1980s as many displaced, unemployed, or failed academics from other disciplines moved into libraries.12 Consequently, the competition stiffened with more candidates applying for director-level positions in academic libraries.13 Researchers have audited job listings in library trade journals to determine if job require- ments for nonadministrative librarians and library directors were different. He found that the number of library directors at small colleges who held advanced degrees (second master’s or doctorate) increased by the year 2000.

     summary: Academic library discovery systems also had a higher subjective norm, which means that people who are important to the participants, such as professors, librarians, colleagues, or friends, had a bigger influence on the use of academic library discovery systems than GS. In fact, previous research studies showed that sometimes students use library resources primarily because the course instructor specifically requires them to use it.54 Since it is believed by many that libraries provide more credible and higher quality resources than GS, it is possible that people suggested using library discovery systems rather than GS.55 Participants were also more loyal to academic library discovery systems than to GS.

     summary: Kwon and Gregory’s seminal work found that “listening to questions in a cordial and receptive manner” was significantly associated with user satisfaction as expressed in exit surveys.10 A peer assessment of chat transcripts at the University of Kansas showed that the majority had exemplary courtesy (73.1% in 2015 and 65.9% in 2016) and concluded that Dissatisfaction in Chat Reference Users 927 this behavior was important to an interaction’s success.11 A study at a large-scale consortial academic virtual reference service in Ontario, Canada found that tone significantly correlated with satisfaction.12 Pomerantz, Luo, and McClure also examined courtesy and found that the majority of interactions fell in the second-highest category at 47.4 percent, with direct or indirect evidence of user satisfaction in 61 percent of transcripts.13 They also observed that operators were mostly either neutral (43.1%) or second-highest rated (32.8%) in enthusiasm, which relates to RUSA’s 2.0 section on interest.14 Though not a RUSA behavior, Prieto argues that using emotional intelligence, which includes empathy, can help chat operators seem more welcoming and supportive.15 Dissatisfaction Actively dissatisfied users represent a small proportion of chat reference users in most popula- tions.

     summary: 945 Everything Not Saved Will Be Lost: Preservation in the Age of Shared Print and Withdrawal Projects Zachary Maiorana, Ian Bogus, Mary Miller, Jacob Nadal, Katie Risseeuw, and Jennifer Hain Teper* This paper’s review of current issues in shared print retention and preservation identi- fies such shared issues as the cataloging and validation, retention and withdrawal of holdings, loss rates, current condition of holdings, recommendations for the number of copies to retain, and storage environments. This paper’s review of current challenges in shared print retention and preservation identi- fies challenges in relation to such a mission change, including the necessary number of copies to retain, cataloging and validation, retention and withdrawal of holdings, loss rates, current condi- tion of holdings, the adequate number of copies to keep, and storage environments.

     summary: Reproducibility of systematic review searches can be improved by reporting the names of the databases searched;27 describing the procedures used for finding included studies;28 reporting keyword searches;29 and reporting date limit- ers.30 Even after the availability of standards for reporting systematic reviews, many authors still failed to properly describe their methods.31 Criteria to Analyze the Systematic Review Searches The Campbell Collaboration has the most developed set of guidelines for conducting system- atic reviews on interventions in social sciences disciplines. Social sciences librarians are equipped with the knowledge and skills necessary to collaborate with social sciences researchers in developing systematic review searches and should be confident in their ability to design and execute a comprehensive search.

     summary: In this article, I undertake the task laid out by Celene Seymour in an ethnographic study of information literacy librarians, of “exploring the emotional terrain associated with in- formation literacy instruction and improving this environment,” which in Seymour’s judgment “should maximize the impact of instruction by minimizing negative instructional experiences. Celene Seymour’s interviews with information literacy librarians also point to tensions with instructing faculty as barriers to change.

     summary: Understanding what students are learning, how they learn, and, more centrally to the concept of authentic assessment, what they are able to do is criti- cal to being an effective educator. The eight chapters of this relatively slim volume divide the topic of authentic assessment, broadly speaking, into the past, present, and future.

     summary: Chapter 4 focuses on defining digital preservation as a craft and outlining the next four chapters to come, which focus on how to approach digital preservation, with suggestions for developing digital preservation plans. Included in these axioms are key concepts regarding digital preservation, including that “backing up data is not digital preservation” (6) and that “the scale and inherent structures of digital information suggest working more with a shovel than with tweezers” (8).

     summary: Web archives are, strictly speaking, all of those willfully assembled and preserved collec- tions of web materials that no longer appear online in real time, and they enable “web history” understood by Brügger as two things: 1) studies of the web itself; and 2) studies that take something other than the web as their primary subject but incorporate web archives as sources nonetheless (15 and throughout). In Brügger’s view, then, such changes should prompt us to reassess “traditional historiographic methods” (7) and to consider the suitability of new research methods to the creation of web history.

Readers should not be put off by this different approach to teaching information literacy instruction; the methods and approaches presented in this book can be directly applied to the one-shot session.

     summary: Identifying Scholarly Search Skills Based on Resource and Document Selection Behavior 611 researchers also use Google in addition to various academic databases provided for scholarly search.6 For search result elements, the full text is usually preferred in addition to the title and abstract.7 This preference may be encouraged by some databases (such as Web of Science and Scopus), which display links to full-text versions in the search results. Many related studies on search result elements have investigated researchers and doctoral students.

Information literacy has been widely recognized as a critical college learning outcome for decades.2 However, assessing information literacy skills has been difficult for librarians and other assessment professionals, as the conventional methods frequently focus on small samples at or within a single institution, testing knowledge of specific skills, are time intensive (rubrics), or use instruments that have not been psychometrically validated.3 Due to these concerns, instructional librarians approached the National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE) to collaborate with NSSE researchers on expanding the information literacy content in NSSE.4

     summary: The University of Washington’s digital scholarship librarian, Verletta Kern, synthesizes many of the challenges of digital scholarship as a set of “wicked problems” (78) that the insti- tution continues to interrogate: the values, practices, and contexts of the modern scholarship are framed by questions of the library’s purpose, its priorities, its decisions about strategic infrastructure investment, ongoing funding challenges, and a desire to shift institutional poli- cies in support of the recognition of digital scholarship outputs. Chapter authors’ perspectives are informed by their varied positions at the University of Washington library and a complex portrait of digital scholarship appears when their perspectives are taken together.

     summary: Guest Editorial Special Issue Editors’ Introduction* In 2009, responding to a new level of challenges to academic libraries brought on by the reces- sion, the Association of College and Research Libraries (ACRL) created the Value of Academic Libraries (VAL) initiative and allocated funding for a systematic review of existing literature, resulting in the 2010 Value of Academic Libraries report by Megan Oakleaf.1 To take this work forward, the value of academic libraries became a goal in ACRL’s Plan for Excellence in 2011, with a committee dedicated to furthering work in that area.2 The 2017 publication of Academic Library Impact: Improving Practice and Essential Areas to Research marks the latest milestone for the VAL initiative.3 The report, prepared for ACRL by a team from OCLC Research, analyzed existing literature in library and information science and higher education.4 The authors suggested six priority areas for new research in the field highlighting the impact of academic libraries on student learning and success.

     summary: In addition to the patron privacy statement, the library also created and adopted language that library employees can use at service desks and in instructional or consultative sessions when fielding students’ questions about our collection and usage of student engagement data and personally identifying information (PII), thereby providing a greater level of transparency. Once it looked like we had sufficient partners to make the project viable, the Office of Research Compliance helped the researchers write the IRB application and ensure everything related to the study and protection of student data was in place.

     summary: Library interaction data are being added to the Education Advisory Board’s Student Success Collaborative platform for predictive analytics, and the library is now working with the in- stitutional effectiveness office to develop, implement, and populate an analytics dashboard that matches student library interactions with user and nonuser demographic and academic information. With $39.3M in performance-based funding received by the institution in 2016–2017,4 it is easy to see that retaining even a relatively small number of students can have large financial implications for the institution as well as enhanced success for students.5 The library had already started an initiative to collect student interaction data at five ser- vice points for the primary intention of program improvement.

      flesch: 55
     summary: We offered this assessment activity during students’ final tutoring session as a second re- flective opportunity in the hope that it would provide qualitative data to contextualize the self-efficacy surveys, but the timing alongside final research projects contributed to a weak response rate, both in terms of the quantity and quality of student writing. We hired two writing and research tutors after the course ended to serve as student research assistants for our assess- ment initiative, giving them further leadership opportunities but also including key student perspectives on the evolution of our assessment design and implementation.

     summary: This study addressed this limitation by surveying and interviewing professional librarians who are directly conducting library impact research, asking about their research experience, their attitudes about impact research, and their response to the ACRL report. This study, sponsored by an ACRL Impact Grant, specifically sought to expand the ACRL Academic Library Impact report, which defined strategic directions for library impact research, largely defined from the perspective of high-level administrators.

     summary: Academic libraries will vary in the support that they can reasonably offer to parent students; the unique- ness of each institutions’ financial resources, staffing levels, physical spaces, administrative considerations, as well as the needs of enrolled student-parents mean that this cannot be one-size-fits-most. University students with dependent children, many of whom also work full-time and may be financially independent, are the focus of this study.

     summary: Book selection experience is coded 1 for those with significant book selection experience and 0 for all others.47 Librarians received credit for book selection experience if “regular (e.g., weekly or monthly) selection of books/monographs was a significant component of [their] professional work” for one or more years. Within the title-by-title selection framework, librarians and faculty are often jointly re- sponsible for book selection.

Recently, Quinn Galbraith, Adam Henry Callister, and Heather Kelley looked at 35 years of ARL salary data, as well as the 2014 ARL Salary Survey data, and found that the gender wage gap is substantially smaller in ARL libraries than in the workforce as a whole.28 Starting salary can have a giant impact on the pay gap for librarians, given the nature of wages over time.

This is problematic because APA 7th edition was released since Darr’s publishing, and one of the major changes from 6th to 7th edition is the elimination of place of publication.

     summary: Orientation to the past or future • Time as measurable (or controllable) • Time as finite (and a commodity) • Long-term vs. short-term perspective And many more.1 One of the earliest researchers on cultural identity, Edward T. Hall examined different cultural relationships with time from the perspective of monochronicity—time as linear or finite—or polychronicity—time as more of an external construct that does not dictate life or interactions and events may happen concurrently.2 He also addressed other aspects of time related to culture and experience. That said, it would be interesting to learn if the insights of the researchers on cultural identity hold up with experience—particularly with factors related to time.

     summary: Indeed, MacMillan acknowledged that the journalism students in her study of student source evaluation skills may have relied on some “performativity” that prevented a precise and “objective measure” of students’ abilities to evaluate sources.46 In sum, identifying a threshold concept that underlies source evaluation skills can facilitate the development of an assessment of these skills that detects students’ masking and mimicking language. As some of the excerpts from student evaluations illustrate, evaluation accuracy is not guaranteed, even when students provide evidence of their credibility argu- ments.

     summary: This study describes the results of a survey of practicing librarians regarding the adopter category (innovator, early adopter, early majority, late majority, laggard) with which they identify and the relationship of this identification with perceived knowledge and perceptions of AI technology within and outside the library environment. The findings may assist academic library administrators and tech-inclined employees as they aim to garner greater receptiveness among colleagues toward adopting AI technology in their libraries.

        date: 2022
       words: 9423
      flesch: 43
     summary: This study, which analyzes the results of an online survey, explores instruction librarians’ teacher identities and the factors that may contribute to a teacher identity, including the amount of teaching, the length of time teaching, and training in pedagogy. Responses to a survey of instruction librarians in the United States suggest that respondents see themselves as teachers and devote a significant portion of their time to teaching, though they received little pedagogy training in library school.

     summary: While past literature has engaged with supporting specific creative disciplines, this study focuses on the collective research needs of creative communities.  This was true for the three authors, who have worked with varying types of creative communities in three different institutions: creative writers, theater profession- als, graphic designers, musicians, acting students, dancers, visual artists, and students in a wide-ranging “interdisciplinary arts” program.

      flesch: 42
     summary: As a result, certain aspects about how we handled virtual reference questions changed. Of the predominant types of questions asked, research has found that directional questions account for the largest category for face-to-face reference, while reference questions account for the largest category in email and chat.6 Research conducted at an institution employing proactive chat (the type of chat that opens automatically as a pop-up window on library webpages inviting users to ask a question) shows the difference in question complexity between in-person and virtual reference queries to be even more marked.7 Whereas research shows clear differences in question complexity between virtual and in-person queries, distinctions among chat, email, and texting draw less conclusive findings.

     summary: As I write this September editorial (a few weeks before publication), I can’t help but wonder what the world of higher education and of academic libraries will look like when the issue is released. Academic libraries, as they always have, will pivot to engage in whatever environment is needed to provide access to resources and expertise, offer a safe study environment (as they are able), and remove barriers to information (made more difficult with COVID and other recent constraints).

     summary: that involved administering a survey regarding attitudes toward and use of research impact metrics across four institutions.33 The broader, multisite study focused on the analysis of quantitative data from all four institutions, while this paper addresses qualita- tive aspects derived from the previously unexamined open-ended survey questions on beliefs, concerns, perceptions, and use of research metrics, focusing on the data from our institution. With the end goal of improving our library’s research impact–related services to better support faculty and researchers across campus, this exploratory qualitative analysis offers a more nuanced understanding of the current landscape of opinion around research impact metrics.

Berry, and Eric A. Vance* As inclusion becomes a growing standard for universities in the United States, data extracted from OCLC suggest that university libraries in the United States build their Spanish-language collections with books purchased primarily in Spain and Mexico. Spanish-speaking countries in the Ameri- cas offer a wide variety of independent, consortia, and university presses that may benefit the Spanish-language collections of university libraries in the United States.

       words: 7501
      flesch: 35
     summary: General Patterns in Collective Collections The evidence accumulated from OCLC Research’s collective collections work has been drawn from studies of collective collections scoped at a variety of scales and framed in different 986 College & Research Libraries September 2020 institutional and geographic contexts. For example, a 2012 study of the collective print book collections of the US and Canadian mega-regions found that, while all of the regional collective collections were quite diverse in terms of country of origin and language of content, the largest regional collections exhibited the highest proportions of these materials: more than 60 percent of the books in the largest regional collection (BOS-WASH), for example, were published outside the US and Canada, and nearly half were in languages other than English.37 FIGURE 5 RLUK Collective Print Book Collection: Duplication Rates Reflections on Collective Collections 993 An important corollary to the idea that collective collections build out a long tail of rela- tively rare (not widely held) and diverse materials is that the degree of uniqueness associated with a collective collection depends heavily on the scope of comparison.

     summary: The enactment of the Data Protection Act 2012 (Act 843) is largely indicative of the recognition of the growing individual concerns of information privacy and the implications of privacy violation and data breaches for Ghana.34 Major players in the Ghanaian academic library ecosystem want individuals to have greater control over their own personal data, just as expressed in Canada35 and the United States,36 and this probably explains why, overwhelmingly, they prefer that sharing decisions about personal information, circulation records, or internet use records are done with the individual’s consent or when mandated by a court order.

     summary: Faced with a local need to standardize submission information, the authors set out to establish a framework for documenting digital projects in the humanities within the confines of Turabian style.3 Working with a local collection of digital dissertations and theses, a mixed methods analysis identified broad themes that were then paired with existing manuscript guidelines to generate a set of additional preliminary pages. The goal of this study was to obtain and analyze data on the types of digital projects submitted to the library to inform the design of an additional set of preliminary pages for digital dissertations and theses.

     summary: And although librarians have long been aware of the limita- tions of circulation data in representing collection use,4 and despite some attempts to measure in-house use,5 the idea that real use was measured by such a commitment on the part of the patron has taken hold and has influenced the view of use data to this day.

     summary: These find- ings reaffirmed the need for our library to offer research data services and gave insights for future growth areas for support.6 Library-Provided Data Services Support for Graduate Students: What Is the Nature of the Need? Since qualitative methods were used more heavily in certain academic fields (Education) and specific departments (like Middle & Secondary Education, Educational Policy Studies, Communication, and Sociology), the RDS team and the respective subject liaison librarians should target their efforts for qualitative methods and data analysis software support to those specific fields and/or departments.

     summary: However, student reports of engagement with data practices, together with proxy evidence regarding three data practices (that is, ob- taining data, analyzing data, creating visualizations), supports the assertion that data literacy is an integral component of undergraduate research. In addition, institutionwide assessments of data practices are challenging because of varied disciplinary approaches to data.

        date: 2022
       words: 9403
      flesch: 50
     summary: One of the key findings from the 2018 survey was the negative correlation between student library visits and their GPA, although students’ use of library resources (such as journal articles and databases) was positively associated with their GPA.1 In more recent years, the literature pertaining to academic libraries’ contribu- tions to academic success (GPA) are steadily increasing such as Ula Gaha, Suzanne Hinnefeld, and Catherine Pellegrino’s study examining the correlations between library instruction and GPA;6 Tiffany LeMaistre, Qingmin Shi, and Sandip Thanki’s investigation of the relationship between library online resource use and GPA;7 and Francesca Marineo and Qingmin Shi’s examination of the relationships between library use sessions and GPA.8 Given that GPA has been widely used in various fields as a quantifiable indicator of student academic success and learning (for instance, in Psychology, Educational Psychol- ogy, and Library and Information Sciences), it is very important to have empirical evidence demonstrating that academic libraries have a positive impact on students’ academic success using GPA.

     summary: Similarly, Bowles-Terry’s 2012 study concluded that GPA was higher among graduating seniors who had library in- struction in upper-level courses and that student success indicators reflect positive correlation with library instruction when students engage in library instruction sessions throughout their college years.14 In a 2012 study by librarians at Middle Tennessee State University, library instruction was the focus and was compared with student GPA and retention. Data for students who attended library instruction was anonymized and compared to the same data points for students who were enrolled in the English class but did not attend library instruction.

     summary: ”20 In addressing challenges facing university archives to document modern society, Helen Willa Samuels notes that archivists must consciously coordinate new collecting areas and encourage communities, particularly student groups, to create resources on topics that help fill gaps in the documentary record.21 Samuels identifies several ways to accomplish this task, including engaging with students to create new collections that better represent student life such as diaries, oral histories, and photographic materials. In their survey of 470 students’ perceptions of archival repositories, Jessica Wagner and Debbi Smith affirm the value of documenting student life but note the lack of “mechanics” of- fered in Samuels’ book.22 Wagner and Smith offer readers several methods to acquire archival materials, including outreach to students, cross-campus networking strategies, and motivating students to create primary sources.

     summary: Therefore, efforts to evaluate the ways students use research guides are necessary to ensure the best outcomes for student learning. Unlike librarians, students do not have a mental model of research that includes subject research guides;2 and, even when students do think of research guides, they often have dramatically different ideas of how those guides should be organized.3 Students expect subject guides to contain subject-specific material, not general content such as links to the catalog or general- ized citation information.4

     summary: This analysis compares license terms over time, across publisher types and between the two libraries, and it compares findings with recommendations from model licenses. Also important, however, are the disadvantages—license terms may weaken or nullify end user and library exceptions to copyright law.

     summary: Are university libraries in the United States supporting inclusion and diversity through the purchase of Latin American Indigenous language materials? 182 University Libraries as Advocates for Latin American Indigenous Languages and Cultures Kathia S. Ibacache* The revitalization of Latin American Indigenous languages started many years ago, but only some university libraries in the United States have taken steps to advocate for preservation, access, inclusion, and diversity through collection building covering these languages and cultures.

     summary: Conclusion Student reflections proved to be a useful assessment exercise for information literacy labs, both for student learning and for continued improvement in the evolution of the labs. By linking threshold concepts to the Framework, we can analyze the content of student reflections to see what thresholds the students have trouble crossing.

     summary: It then analyzes the level of concentration of journal usage across institutions and publishers based on the three distinct indicators and measures the overlap of core journals between universities. This is in part due to the larger number of journals in those disciplines, but it is also influenced by the greater diversity of paradigms and methodologies in those disciplines.49 It also shows that, surprisingly, smaller universities have a higher proportion of core journals, which suggests a more even usage of resources than larger universities, in which a larger body of researchers might work on similar topics, thus concentrating journal usage.

Reiter and Ford’s survey also revealed that, when it comes to financial literacy, librarians are often limited by time and resources.41 Knowing this, it might help librarians to be aware of exactly what financial topics students are looking for in their local context to develop targeted instruction, collect materials, and curate content on the most critical topics.

     summary: While the sit-ins staged by the Greensboro Four or organizations like Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) might be the most well-known example of HBCU student activism, the truth is that the tradition of protest goes back much further. To support his thesis, Favors explores the themes of second curriculum and com- munitas at seven different HBCUs: the Institute for Colored Youth (ICY) (now Cheyney University of Pennsylvania), Tougaloo College, Bennett College, Alabama State University, Jackson State University, Southern University, and North Carolina A&T State University.

     summary: Studies have shown there has been growth of data ser- vices in academic libraries during the past decade.2 Tenopir et al. recognize some institutions hired specialized data librarians to provide library data services; however, other librarians have found themselves reassigned to this role, with variable amounts of time spent provid- ing data services. Methods For this study, library data services are defined as library services to manage researcher data, whether that is informational or technical in nature.37

Additionally, best practices have yet to be established for the specific communication channels to use when faced with varying crises, and there are few best practices for crisis communication specific to academic libraries.

     summary: These questions are currently being explored6 and debated in libraries and among infrastructure providers.7 This paper draws on a study of stakeholders involved in research data management in Norway involving policymakers (this group included representatives from the Norwegian Ministry of Education and Research, the research council of Norway and the rectorate of one of the included universities), national infrastructure providers,8 and researchers and research support staff (in university IT, library, and research office) from the four oldest universities in Norway. Internationally, “data steward” is one of several terms used in the literature and among practitioners to describe a person working with research data management (RDM).

     summary: Value can be ex- tracted from small data by scaling them up into larger datasets, for reuse through digital data infrastructures.40 Wang et al. supported the idea that librarians should know how to make big datasets more useful, visible, and accessible, and, via Big Data technologies, researchers can look at data in new ways.41 Li et al. provided a comprehensive overview leading to a Big Data application framework in libraries.42 Ahmed and Ameen presented a scientometric analysis of papers indexed in Thomson Reuters’ ISI Web of Knowledge, using Vosviewer software to explore the research trends associated with Big Data in the field of library and information science.43 Cervone provided a practical example of how Big Data and analytics can help li- braries and information organizations to evaluate the effectiveness of social media efforts to improve the perception of products and services in information organizations.44 Qin proposed five stages in the process of getting Big Data information: preparation, preprocessing, data mining, output, and evaluation, among which data mining is the core of Big Data thinking. In addition, the status of Big Data research in library in China was explored.37 The authors supported that library Big Data could also more effectively serve researchers or ordinary users better.

     summary: The first National Survey of Visible Minority Librar- ians reported that at least 120 librarians identified as visible minorities in 2014.7 There was an upward trend in hiring visible minority librarians over a decade.8 The 8Rs Institutional Survey showed that visible minority librarians increased their representation rate from 5 percent in 2003 to 11 percent in 2013.9 Nevertheless, visible minorities are underrepresented in the Canadian librarianship (see table 1). Particularly, visible minority librarians are confronted with challenges in rising to senior leadership positions due to lack of access to network, lack of mentorship, lack of training and other reasons.58 The findings from this research may be encouraging to some librarians to move up their career from a financial incentive perspective.

     summary: Whether this is done by uncovering the true histories of misunderstood aspects of open access and scholarly publishing; challenging the inequities, oppressions, exploitations, and erasures inherent in the current system; demonstrating the possibilities for new ways of affecting scholarly communications through case studies and existing alternative models; or advocating for possible futures, in total these essays demand a pause. As an academic librarian firmly ensconced in the niche of library publishing (with its preference for open access), I (and perhaps you) have read a number of edited volumes centering on the intersection of libraries and scholarly communications that examine OA from practical and theoretical angles.

     summary: But in addition to their own enthusiasm, determination, and Press’s good advice, freshly minted MLS-holders looking for academic library jobs in an economy rocked by the coronavirus pandemic will also need a good dose of luck. Current library science students are advised to prepare for the job market through extensive research, both passive and active—for example, reading job ads regularly, both as a guide to choosing coursework and as a way to ground school-ish classroom experiences (14).

     summary: Similarly, a study of students at Ohio State University found that student responses to the adoption of open learning materials were largely positive.10 Students were also very likely to recommend OER courses to their peers according to Brandle et al.11 Ozdemir and Hendricks concluded that faculty also had many reasons for adopting OER textbooks, in- cluding the ability to repurpose the content, favorable views of the quality of open content, concerns about the accessibility of traditional textbooks, and the desire to lower textbook costs for students.12 3 College & Research Libraries November 2024 Furthermore, ensuring that students can access OER textbooks in a format that suits their learning needs will help ensure that students receive a more equitable experience.

     summary: This research study attempts to contribute to the literature through an investigation of the competencies necessary for academic library outreach work. Library outreach work is conducted by a wide range of individuals within any given institution,24 and thus the authors determined the best way to survey practitioners was to so- licit feedback via the online communities where academic library outreach work is frequently discussed.

     summary: We identified seven themes about teacher librarians’ personal epistemologies and teach- ing practices through analyzing the interview transcripts using open coding. In cases where a local network is unavailable or unsupport- ive, teacher librarians could turn to the scholarship of teaching and learning literature as a place to apply their individual reflective moments to the learner-centered practices of other instructors and teacher librarians.40 Interviewees described the value of reflection and peer discussion when teaching IL in the classroom as well.

     summary: These too are roles where instruc- tional librarians are forced to “do-it-themselves,” as LIS instructional courses (if offered at all) continue to focus on outdated interpretations of the instructional librarian roles. As opposed to Saunder’s 2015 study, which presents the findings of a generic content analysis of LIS programs’ instruc- tional course syllabi, the content analysis presented in the present study is directly informed by the framework and standards, with the explicit aim of examining align- ment between these documents and actual content of LIS instructional courses.

     summary: How can librarians, library administrators, and confer- ence organizers quantify the value of regional conference attendance as an acces- sible means for fostering librarian professional development? Clear and measurable learning objectives address two of the aforementioned barriers to conference attendance as a professional development opportunity—difficulty measuring learning gains and difficulty measuring the value of professional development when applied to the job—and make it possible to quantify the value of regional conference attendance as a means of fostering librarian professional development.

     summary: To pursue this research interest, the team gathered student research papers and their respective bibliographies written for numerous sections of a freshman-level English composition course from a public master’s-level university in the Midwestern United States. Literature Review Given that the Framework for Information Literacy for Higher Education sets forth the idea that “Authority Is Constructed and Contextual” as one of its six core concepts, the research team remained interested in exploring student constructions of authority.12 Although most published studies that have examined student source selection have chosen to use surveys or question- naires for data collection, the team also chose to continue its focus on bibliographic analysis of authentic student work.

     summary: Data librarians and embed- ded librarians might use data literacy skills to build learning programs to integrate with the faculty and demonstrate the fruit of their work, to prevent a situation where the outcomes of their work in academia might be imperceptible.22 We have assumed that, since information literacy is one of the conditions for self-efficacy in the workplace,23 then it is also data literacy—as a set of specific competencies that determine an employee’s level of information and communication literacy—that can increase their agency and self-efficacy, which empowers alumni in the workplace. This may also apply to students during their study programs as well as to a postgraduate workplace where data literacy skills might prove useful in career development.

     summary: Katz also addresses the overwhelming whiteness of AI experts, the attempts to address this with calls for increasing diverse representation among AI practitioners, and the ways that exist- ing ethical critiques of AI often end up replicating the very systems they claim to want to fix. This is explicitly illustrated when Katz describes the financial relationship between early AI practitioners (academics in higher education) and the Pentagon and how this cemented AI’s role as a tool for American military and industry.

     summary: By limiting the scope of the text to engagement with design strategies and their interpretation by map readers, this volume generally steers clear of po- litical questions related to the selective inclusion and labeling of geographic features, as well as the human costs of colonial occupations and wars enabled by maps (with the exception of American soldiers memorialized through battlefield tourism in the final chapter). Cartographic archives change how maps tell time.

        date: 2022
       words: 13285
      flesch: 35
     summary: A more recent work that focused on transitioning library services to support scholarly communication noted, “To successfully address the current needs of a forward-thinking faculty, the academic library needs to place scholarly communication competencies in the toolkit of every librarian who has a role interacting with subject faculty.”22 Another description of these changing requirements is that of “the librarian with more”: that is, one who combines traditional library skills with added knowledge of working with and manipulating data.23 There have been numerous attempts to define the competencies required of library staff working within the area of scholarly communication, including bibliometric work,24 research data management,25 and scholarly publishing and repository services.26 More broadly, this area has been addressed through the development of lists of scholarly communication competencies by major library and information science (LIS) organizations: for example, the Association of College and Research Libraries (ACRL),27 Confederation of Open Access Repositories,28 and NASIG (formerly the North American Serials Interest Group, Inc.).29 Australian Library and Information Association (ALIA), in their foundation knowledge and skills recommendations, has only explicitly mentioned scholarly communication since December 2020.30 Scholarly Communication Competencies 969 To support research and scholarly communication, librarians need to be equipped with scholarly communication competencies.31 While it would be useful if an introduction to these were provided as a part of the formal education and training of librarians, a 2017 UK study of the background of people working in scholarly communication showed that most of these skills were obtained on the job.32 A 2019 literature review by Jaya Raju stated there was “compelling evidence to suggest that LIS schools globally are falling short of meeting academic library knowledge and skills requirements in the fast-evolving area of scholarly communication.

     summary: Those who love print books counter by noting the advantages of print: less distraction, superior navigability, and studies proving greater read- ing comprehension.3 But what is lost in this debate is a crucial, even existential question: Will the academy’s system of transmitting books survive the age of ebooks? It will not. If for-profit music labels, for whom intellectual-property protection is paramount and whose primary mission is maximizing shareholder value, can live without DRM, it is not far-fetched to imagine academic book publishers, whose primary mission is disseminating scholarship as widely as possible, also living without DRM. Guest Editorial 789 Will non-DRM books lead to a spate of piracy?

     summary: Regression Analyses by Disciplines Since book usage preferences can differ across different disciplines (for example, scholars in the humanities tend to consult materials in their original form in order to have direct in- teractions with the materials),22 we further extend our analysis to subsamples based on four different academic disciplines, including arts, humanities, sciences, and social sciences. Similarly, we also observe the significant impact of shelf time on book usage preference through the within-discipline regressions.

      flesch: 35
     summary: The analysis of qualitative responses, including more than 1,400 quotations, elicited from academic library administrators and librarians in 186 public universities across the United States, reveals that academic libraries encounter 51 challenges related to the knowledge and skills of librarians, hardware and software concerns, institutional factors, finances, and external actors, when serving disabled patrons with AT. Most academic libraries depend solely on their limited funds, with a select number of libraries receiving funds from disability support services and other institutional sources (examples: competitive grants, students’ fees for computing technologies).38 Second, selecting AT may prove challenging for academic libraries.

     summary: The author concludes by summarizing the main issues dealt with in the book, including the fol- lowing points: statistical analyses should answer specific questions; variability exists in any data collected; researchers should understand why they are employing specific formulas and procedures to analyze the data; the communication of results should be as simple as possible; margins of error should be presented to readers; and statistical analysis should be reported clearly, and in enough detail, to make it reproducible. University of Cambridge professor David Spiegelhalter describes how real-life problems are solved with statistical analysis as a way of introducing concepts necessary for data literacy.

     summary: From there, Brown moves into the concept of Black utopia as boundless, examining Alice Coltrane’s rituals. Brown proves “all four women had experiences of being touched by the Creator” and, as such, carved out sites of “freedom and power much broader than those they were expected to occupy as black women, slave or free, in Antebellum America” (24).

     summary: Moreover, academic teaching librarians will reflect on new informa- tion literacy frameworks as they interconnect with instruction, considering the role of the student as an active participant as a seeker, consumer, and producer of information. However, the field still struggles to define what makes a teaching librarian and whether academic teaching librarians see themselves as teachers.

     summary: Mary Cassner, Charlene Maxey-Harris, and Toni Anaya (2011) reviewed ARL library accessibility webpages, discussing the located content of these pages under the headings of general features, services, staffing, facilities, and assistive technology.18 Stephanie Graves and Elizabeth German (2018) had a more narrow focus than the prior two studies, looking solely at whether these pages provided information on library instruction content, including the physical and technical accessibility of library classrooms.19 K.T.L. Vaughan and Stefanie Warlick (2020) went broader again, reviewing accessibility web- pages for the presences of 12 specific content types: statement, campus contact, library contact, AT lab, book/article retrieval, building information, computers and equipment, research help, study rooms, circulation help, resource inks, and video captioning.20 All four studies found that the presence of information within the defined categories was limited. These previous studies also do not appear to have involved any consultation with users with disabilities, which prompted Amelia Brunskill, one of this study’s authors, to conduct a series of interviews with university students with disabilities to learn more about their needs and preferences for these pages.4 The participants’ responses provided an expanded view into what information accessibility pages could contain to more fully support students with disabilities, including those with invisible disabilities, such as attention deficit hyperactiv- ity disorder (ADHD) and depression, which are some of the more prevalent disabilities within the university student population.5 Armed with insights from that study, and a hope that ARL libraries may have expanded their accessibility webpages in recent years, this study located and analyzed ARL libraries’ * Amelia Brunskill is Information Services and Liaison Librarian, Catherine Lantz is Reference and Liaison Li- brarian, and Kavita Mundle is Electronic Resources Librarian, all at the University of Illinois Chicago; email: abrunsk2@uic.edu, clantz@uic.edu, kavita@uic.edu.

     summary: Among the 23 news articles, eight of them used the pattern “press joins library,” while none of them used “li- brary joins press”; four used pattern “university press merges with University library”; two used pattern “University launches press.” ”24 Another main challenge of library-press collaboration lies in their different financial operations: university press is a revenue-generating organization, whereas library operates on “subsidized, expenditure-based budget”;25 therefore, library sometimes does not fully understand press’s revenue-driven operations to maintain its financial viability.26 Limitations of Current Literature The literature review demonstrates that the majority of these articles were written by stake- holders either from libraries or university presses and have covered a relatively comprehensive range of the topics on the library-press collaborations.

     summary: When scholars seek peer-reviewed and grey literature on a given topic, they have many options for search platforms, and these platforms have differing search syntaxes and algorithms for displaying results that can shift over time without any indication to the user. This source reinforces that accu- rate reporting is needed “to ensure critical appraisal, replication, and updating.19 This tool prompts users to consider ways in which precision could be improved, and this text includes language on phrasing: “Could precision be improved by using proximity operators (e.g., adjacent, near, within) or phrase-searching instead of AND?”20 Users are asked to consider search syntax differences between search platforms.

     summary: Although the ACRL’s Standards for Libraries in Higher Education includes academic integrity support as a key professional value, external perceptions of the librarian’s role in its instruc- tion vary.20 While some faculty view collaboration with librarians as important to academic integrity instruction,21 Ard and Ard’s faculty survey on library roles revealed that “educating students about plagiarism” and “teaching citation styles” were ranked low among the library’s perceived responsibilities.22 The ubiquitous availability of online materials and many new types of materials has made citing sources more challenging.23 In his 2014 study, Kargbo found that 62.1 percent of undergraduates were not confident in their ability to cite sources correctly and that even those who considered themselves confident often produced inconsistent references.24 This grow- ing complexity of source types may be one of the reasons libraries are fielding an increase in student citation questions.25 Another may be the unique position libraries have in students’ academic life. • What is the faculty perspective on student citation skills? •

     summary: Though this research describes an exploratory pilot of the Informed Learning scale, preliminary results suggest that the scale can advance academic library assessment efforts by using contemporary theoretical develop- ments in IL while linking IL data with important measures of student learning. 1014 College & Research Libraries However, new approaches have emerged over the last several decades that ground IL using specific theoretical lenses, such as critical, sociocultural, and Informed Learning.19 Nevertheless, extant instruments for measuring IL remain largely associated with the now rescinded ACRL Standards.20 Instruments used to measure learners’ abilities to use information in various contexts tend to rely on self-reported data.21 A recent systematic review of IL scales found 45 studies reporting on 22 scales.22 Such instruments include: IL-HUMASS, Project SAILS, the IL Self- Efficacy Scale (ILSES), B-TILED, and the IL Test (ILT).

     summary: Anderson reported evidence that librarians’ awareness of Autism Spectrum Disorder through educational opportunities is the first step in tailoring the library environment, providing access to resources, and creating special interest group opportuni- ties for social interactions for individuals who are otherwise typically alone.23 Conner and Plocharczyk provided evidence that the academic library can successfully offer book clubs for learning and socializing aimed at college students with ID.24 Kowalsky and Woodruff cre- ated and published a guide for creating inclusive library environments.25 Murphy, Amerud, and Corcoran stated that, although partnerships between academic libraries and institutions’ disability services vary across North America, it is encouraging that interunit partnerships exist to provide opportunities for enhanced student services and learning supports promoting success for individuals with ID.26 Research Questions To learn about academic librarians’ involvement in serving students with ID at the colleges and universities identified on the ThinkCollege.net website, following a series of demographic questions, our study was designed to answer three central questions: 1. The master’s students gained insights about the learning needs of individuals with ID.17 Advocating for college students with learning disabilities, Nall at East Carolina University (ECU) asserted that the principles of Universal Design for Learning by academic librarians should be used to build a comprehensive response to a wide variety of learning needs.18 According to Kavanagh, Reference and Instructional Services to Postsecondary Education Students 1021 Webb, and Hoover, also at ECU, academic librarians in Joyner Library used Universal Design for Learning elements to review an existing biology LibGuide and revise it to include audio, visual, kinesthetic, and text methods of instruction.19 They reported that using “a systematic approach to tutorial design that uses both the instructional design process of ADDIE and the design principles of UDL to differentiate means of representation of information will result in a positive educational experience for all students, not just those with learning disabilities.

     summary: Originally championed by Toward a Critical Turn in Library UX 11 the design consultancy IDEO, design thinking was first explored in the context of academic libraries through Bell and Shank’s 2007 book, Academic Librarianship by Design: A Blended Li- brarian’s Guide to the Tools and Techniques.54 Design thinking introduced a lean, iterative, and collaborative approach to library UX and the development of services, spaces, and tools.55 An emphasis on desirability56 (alongside technological feasibility and financial viability) embed- ded concrete and recognizable customer service ideals within user-centered library research, as illustrated by the push to create memorable Facebook-type “moments” and Amazon-like “experiences.”57 This paper seeks to address this gap by drawing upon literature from LIS, anthropology and human computer interaction to interrogate library UX.

     summary: The study sought to evaluate whether, and to what extent, the presence and student utiliza- tion of personal librarians affect information literacy–related academic outcomes and student confidence with information literacy skills. The program described by Erica England and Leo S. Lo worked specifically with a cohort of students in a low-residency doctoral program.21 PL programs share many characteristics and goals with embedded librarian programs; like personal librarians, embedded librarians typically aim to reduce library anxiety and improve students’ information literacy skills,22 while amplifying the role of the library in academic success.23 Since each personal or embedded librarian program is unique in order to meet specific institutional and academic imperatives, and there appears to be no standard definition of personal or embedded librarianship, the choice of terminology is relatively flex- ible.

     summary: Higher educational institutions generally agree that critical thinking is a key learning outcome for students and an important indicator of success.23 The focus on critical thinking instruction for first-year students in this study was deliberate for several reasons. Support for higher-order thinking skills are also clearly present in contemporary information literacy instruction models, such as metaliteracy and the CILIP (Chartered Institute of Library and Information Professionals) information literacy definition developed in 2018.18 While support for teaching critical thinking skills in library instruction has grown, the relationship between information literacy and critical thinking remains unclear.

A majority of participants did not anticipate that they would ever use Curriculum Builder in their eCourseware courses for some of the following reasons: disin- terest in learning new tools due to time constraints, lack of need, opposition to the premise of accessing library resources outside of the libraries’ interfaces, and belief that students would refuse to use Curriculum Builder.

     summary: 166 Ideology, Policy, and Practice: Structural Barriers to Collections Diversity in Research and College Libraries Lori M. Jahnke, Kyle Tanaka, and Christopher A. Palazzolo* Beginning with a discussion of how collections diversity has been conceptualized and assessed within the literature, we then analyze four areas in which professional practices and modes of thinking create barriers to collecting materials from histori- cally marginalized voices. Introduction Much of the recent LIS literature implies that collections diversity is a state that can be achieved, acquired, or accomplished through the delineation of tasks that can be checked off a list.

     summary: This approach also allowed researchers to unearth granular differences in students’ work in response to the different modes of ILI students had received. As happened with the number of sources students cited, findings suggest a correlation between more dedicated ILI and students’ selection of sources that better supported their topics.

     summary: Faculty Perspectives on Mis- and Disinformation across Disciplines Mis- and disinformation are not new issues, but sociopolitical events over the past several years have highlighted the challenges and threats they pose. Nevertheless, little research has been done to examine discipline faculty’s perspectives on mis/disinformation or the extent to which they are addressing the issue in their classrooms.

     summary: There are many issues and considerations connected to this work, and additional research is needed, particularly regard- ing how engagement with local community collections impacts student learning. Library leaders can promote university-community engage- ment and knowledge diversity by incorporating local community knowledge into their collection development commitments and practices and tying this work to the parent institution’s strategic plan.

     summary: Foremost were student groups specific to LGBTQIA+ students, Afrekete and Safe Space, as well as alumni who had participated in those groups. These claims were posted to Twitter, which allowed other students to respond and share their own experiences the way Spelman students did with #SpelSafe.32 Students reported absorbing information shared on social media even if they are not active participants on the platforms, as one interviewee pointed out: “people are dropping screenshots of tweets in the group chat, or people are like, ‘Look at this homophobic thing somebody said on Instagram.’”

     summary: A definition of knowledge synthesis from the Canadian Institutes of Health Research was provided to participants at the beginning of the next section of the survey to ensure that participants understood how knowledge synthesis reviews differ from traditional literature reviews. For example, if a respondent selected “no” to the question on involvement in knowledge synthesis reviews, then they did not see the questions about the review steps in which they had been involved.

     summary: This is a broader story of a neoliberal urban development playbook that persists across locales: cities recruit largely white tech start-ups through tax incentives, real estate developers advancing gentrification create spaces that appeal to those workers, and— finally—public service institutions are recast in tech’s image, charged with remaking the city’s populace into entrepreneurs fit to compete in the information economy. Draw- ing on ethnographic fieldwork conducted between 2012 and 2015 at three organizations—a tech start-up, a public library, and a charter school—he tells a story of public institutions adapting to dwindling state investment by embracing simplistic technological solutions to inequality, even when those who staff them seemingly know better.

     summary: Research faculty, on the other hand, described librarian consultative services as a time-saver for them, or as a train- ing opportunity for their students to establish good habits around finding and organizing information early on in their careers. In the ACRL report “The Value of Academic Libraries,” Oakleaf notes that understanding how the library contributes to faculty research productivity, includ- ing publications and funding, is a central question that remains unanswered.7 Demonstrating that librarians are not only educational partners but collaborative equals to faculty, especially concerning research and scholarship, may bolster the library’s status on campus.

     summary: By practicing positionality in this way, Lee enriches the reader’s understanding of the ways that archival bodies are produced. “Producing the Archival Body” arrives at a time where larger critical conversations are being held around the coverage of different bodies and challenge the roles archivists play not just as managers of history but as creators of history and the bodies it holds.

     summary: People experiencing incarceration are often marginalized or entirely omitted from discussions of censorship, both in popular and professional discourse, and library services for incarcerated people rarely make more than a brief appearance in LIS school curricula. Library Services and Incarceration is structured in three parts: the first half of the book of- fers a critical and historical overview and analyses of carceral systems and library services for incarcerated people in the United States.

     summary: “Logistical media” isn’t a common term in the world of libraries and ar- chives; a cursory search for it in the database LISTA returns zero results. In the book’s coinage, logistical media are media of “orientation”: clocks, inventories, spreadsheets, communi- cations satellites, even postage stamps (3).

     summary: The authors were surprised that respondents who indicated that their administration discouraged librarian involvement in SRs also reported that they were allowed time away from their regular duties to participate in SR training more frequently than respondents whose administrations were neutral or supportive of librarians providing SR support (80 percent versus 30 percent and 58 percent respectively). Making SR support one of library administration’s service priorities is necessary to ensure that librarians take the time needed to actively develop their knowledge and skills in that area.19 If SR training for SHSS librarians is needed, what should that training look like?

     summary: From the role played by artificial intelligence in library service, library smart service can be divided into six categories: mobile service, self-service, intelligent consultation service, personal- ized recommendation service, knowledge service, and intelligent navigation service (Ziming and Peng, 2015). Scholars have a high degree of consistency in the interpreta- tion of the content of library smart service; they analyze the traditional library service from a horizontal perspective and classify the content of library smart service from the combination of information technology and library service.

My intent is not to foreclose on care ethics as a way forward, but rather to examine con- tradictions and potentially harmful outcomes.

     summary: Moreover, as Hicks and Lloyd 768 College & Research Libraries September 2022 suggest, the focus on the learner’s deficiency locates information literacy within individual behavior, rather than the social contexts within which people use information, limiting the scope of any sort of empowerment.25 Although the Framework does gesture toward emotion and affect, information literacy discourses largely favor individual reason and rationality, where information literacy itself is understood to be about developing competence through cogni- tive change. We find that information literacy and diversity one-shots emerged within the neoliberal turn in higher education and share a common philosophical foundation in liberalism and a belief that educated publics will come to consensus in the interest of the social good; they are based in narratives of individual deficiency, empowerment, and self-work.

      flesch: 18
     summary: Also, it is important to make a distinction in labor studies between employer-led flexibility (that is, imposed flexibility) and employee-led flexibility (in other words, autonomous flexibility), with the former demanded by others and negatively correlated with work-life balance and pay and the latter honoring individual choice and generally beneficial for workers and retention of employees.11 Therefore, to fully understand one-shots in neoliberal universities, we need to critically examine manifestations and perceptions of flexibility in library instructional labor. By reimagining professionalism with a feminist and intersectional lens, the author concludes that destigmatizing gender stereotypes in imposed flexibility and embracing practices of autonomous flexibility in one-shots are key for library instructors and administrators to advance both workplace and student equity.

However, there are one-shot classes or workshops that leave us, as librarians, feeling connected to students and faculty, deeply moved by the learning that has happened in the last hour or two (and in the hours of planning before the class even occurs).

     summary: Qualitative data from zines also offer both librarians and students a profound understanding of how BIPOC students construct their scholar identities and act as counternarratives to epistemic white supremacy. Lalitha has also started gently informing professors and students that she will no longer spend inordinate amounts of time in the one-shot demonstrating effective search techniques within algorithmically biased databases; instead, she pivoted to uncover student expertise and curiosity to help users become more invested in their research topics.

     summary: As a result, we would design and lead information literacy through a combination of opportunities such as teacher-training programs and instructional consulta- tions intended to build scaffolded research assignments; librarian-faculty collaborations that prioritize the transferability of knowledge while honoring and disrupting disciplinary ways of thinking; and learning objects that provide an intentional structure for sustaining information literacy at our institutions. Focusing our instructional energies and intentions on student learning rather than librar- ians’ teaching frees us from defining our instructional impact with basic metrics and allows us to work toward curriculum-integrated programs in which we are positioned as facilitators rather than the keepers of information literacy.

     summary: Jessica Tai has argued the need for archival institutions to conduct reparative redescription of finding aids and catalog records, and Anti- Racist Description Resources, a practical guide from the Archives for Black Lives in Philadelphia, provides concrete steps to address such racism in archival description, as well as an extensive annotated bibliography of scholarship in this area.3 Once processed, archival materials become available for researchers to use; such access is influenced by structures of white supremacy, as identified by Michelle Caswell and her students.4 When considering online access to materi- als through digitization, Dorothy Berry argues that the history of unequal representation of materials from marginalized communities is a pressing issue for our field.5 Instruction with rare materials is no different from these other aspects of archival management; structural racism and bias are built into the current model of curated sessions. mailto:choelsch@trinity.edu mailto:choelsch@trinity.edu https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ One-Shots in Special Collections and Archives 849 ing acquisition, archival materials are described in finding aids and catalog records, where oppressive and othering language is common.

     summary: Or, to frame this within the vaccine metaphor and in terms of corresponding learning implications, students given the “one shot” of information literacy frequently fail to apply what they have learned to new information literacy situations in ways that demonstrate they have been able to transfer knowledge. Once “exposed” to information literacy, learners are not equipped to “fight off” misinformation even if they can correctly evaluate for what it is.

     summary: Subject librarians were now required to select electronic materials,41 and reference desks became more and more obsolete.42 Liaison duties also gradually became more prominent and more frequently mentioned in the literature.43 Though changes were occurring to subject librarian duties, the changes were primarily in how duties were performed, rather than an addition or deletion of duties.44 Pinfield argued that the subject librarian position was successful because it was user- focused, which allowed subject librarians to be flexible and to “respond effectively to changing technologies, systems and expectations. Subject librarian positions vary in different libraries because each adapts the position to meet their needs.

     summary: After clarifying the overall architecture, researchers began to summarize the purpose, characteristics, functions, and future directions of virtual libraries, as well as suggesting principles and benefits of virtual library collections.15 Initially, it was said that the experiencer could engage with an artificial environment created in the library, resulting in integration with the virtual scene.8 Since then, several researchers have presented the concept of the virtual library, focus- ing on virtual libraries that are integrated with VR technology, as well as the importance of VR technology in the context of libraries.

      flesch: 41
     summary: In addition, the increasing costs of toll-access subscriptions, particularly via so-called ‘‘Big Deals’’ from publishers, forced libraries and other institutions to initiate large-scale subscription cancel- lations.25 As libraries make difficult budgetary decisions, the OA movement allows them to redefine their roles within this emerging publishing model.26 Further, with the develop- ment of OA, there has been an expectation that academic libraries will take on additional responsibilities like managing research data and open access requirements.27 As a result, OA promoters asked librarians to be the change leaders in their institutions,28 adding sug- gestions on how to promote OA publication among researchers and management.29 Studies have found that academic libraries promote OA in a variety of ways such as: including records for OA journals in their public catalogs and electronic journal lists, collaborating with their institutions to establish institutional repositories, participating in institutional initiatives to encourage faculties to deposit research outputs in the institution’s database and more.30 Thus, there is no budget left to OA journals: “Researchers contact us to request a budget for OA publication, but unfortunately, we have nothing to offer them” (L10).

     summary: Disembedding background work through the homogenization of diverse library work not only makes the financial differences among various tasks invisible, but essentially eliminates the ability to communicate the diversity of library work to stakeholders. Such delineations do not accurately correspond to work tasks or exempt status for the purpose of salaries; furthermore, we believe these delineations further contribute to class segregation in library work.

     summary: As a former archivist and rare book librarian at New York Public Library, and now rare book dealer and small press publisher with Granary Books, she has witnessed how “institutional practices shape our expectations of the use and value of poets’ libraries, just as they shape our understanding of the archival materials and research collections that they house.” (151) Firmly believing re-envisioning the relationship between institutional policies and private collections holds possibilities for redefining broader cultural values (that is to say that better understanding and acceptance of the fringe areas—Anarchist/occult leanings—at which these poets and their work operate might lead to direct societal change across-the-board—away from current capitalist, neoliberal global hegemony), Kinniburgh doesn’t shy away from acknowledging her com- mitment to elevating the political and social aspects at play within her research: the crux of my argument: that poets’ libraries are not just book collections but are rather a distinctive type of archival collection that reflects a poetics of information.

     summary: John Kupersmith iteratively revised and published a white paper summarizing best practices for using library terms, originally gleaned from findings of library usability research published between 1997 to 2008. Understand: A Review of the Literature from 2012-2021 Courtney McDonald and Nicole Trujillo* This paper compares website usability—specifically library users’ understanding of library terms—for fifty-one original research studies between 2012-2021, with the find- ings of John Kupersmith’s 2011 white paper “Library Terms That Users Understand.”

       words: 10205
      flesch: 40
     summary: The purpose of this study is to explore the relationship between information literacy training and information literacy skill. One survey of academic librarians found that one-on-one instruction was the most common method for information literacy training.12 Individual information literacy training has unique benefits not shared by the other methods of instruction.

        date: 2023
       words: 9818
      flesch: 39
     summary: These circumstances give KBLab a strategic, if contingent, role in the future development of NLP resources for Swedish: if language models are not created in-house at KB then the data currently available externally would lead to models of lesser quality and more limited capaci- ties for Swedish AI in general. Recognizing that the material preserved in the archives constitutes a form of commons—i.e., a shared resource for the com- munity that is publicly funded43—contributing to the making of language models provides a means to distribute the novel forms of value contained within these institutions’ collections as widely as possible.

     summary: As an entry point into research on book stories as traces of these rituals, this study focuses on one institution’s faculty promotion bookplates, with a corpus of more than 1,500 book stories *  Book stories are publicly available on the “Faculty Bookplates” webpage, under “Featured Collections and Acquisitions,” itself under the “Collections” section of the University Library website, https://www.library. Through this analysis, we ask: What do faculty book stories reveal about why books are selected to commemorate promotion, individually and collectively?

     summary: Literature Review The use of ethnographic methods among libraries and librarians blossomed after anthropologist Nancy Fried Foster’s research at the University of Rochester on student study habits.1 Ethnog- raphy is “a scientific approach to discovering and investigating social and cultural patterns and meaning in communities, institutions, and other social settings. Results were geocoded and maps were created of each student’s day.15 GAC’s own study on student research experiences in spring 2018 included interviews, a mapping activity, and photo diary.16

     summary: Literature Review The literature of library systems work consists primarily of retrospectives of system setup or migration, speculations on future innovation, and surveys gathering data to define job requirements for the educational needs of a systems librarian.6 Even Ojedokun, Olla, and Adigun’s highly concrete retrospective on seven years maintaining a Koha system returns in its analysis to the subject of implementation.7 While collaboration is a core element of systems maintenance work, Indispensable, Interdependent, and Invisible 129 listservs and cross-institutional support play a smaller role in collaborative communication than anticipated.

     summary: In Dotson and Frank’s study of civil engineering, computer science, mathematics, and physics dissertations, up to 4.2% of the citations were preprints.14 The lack of formal peer review is an important characteristic of preprints and the key differ- entiator between preprint articles and journal articles. PeerJ’s webpage reduced the number of preprint cues from seven to five and increased its peer-reviewed cues from two to four (figure 6).

     summary: Though not advocating for leniency for sex offenders, Vogler takes some care to point out that courts tend to value evidence stemming from prob- lematic tests like polygraphs and penile plethysmographs as “objective” measures of sexuality. The author also acknowledges in this early section that sex offenders tend not to be sympathetic subjects, and that lumping non-consensual sex with queerness can be harmful.

     summary: Focusing on differences in actual internet use allows us to depart from the simplistic dyad— internet access, yes or no?—and look at a much more complex matrix of unequal skills and other inequalities we find in actual use of the Internet—for work, health, social and societal connection, and recreation. As we would Book Reviews 165 expect, the consequences of inadequate internet skills impact all aspects of modern life, among them health management, job prospects and job performance, social connectedness, creative output, participation in the political process, and (of course) academic achievement.

        date: 2024
       words: 5712
      flesch: 46
     summary: In the context of algorithmic systems, Bucher calls folk theories the “algorithmic imagi- nary” explaining, “the algorithmic imaginary is not to be understood as a false belief or fetish of sorts but, rather, as the way in which people imagine, perceive and experience algorithms and what these imaginations make possible” (2017, p. 31). However, the gap between what users believe about algorithms (i.e., their folk theories) and how to use algorithmic systems effec- tively remains an area that is both problematic in terms of user understanding and fruitful in terms of pedagogical strategies.

     summary: Often the library will be the direct beneficiary of student projects, such as the development of marketing plans for promotion or improvement of services.22 A study done to test the effectiveness of experiential learning principles through application of Kolb’s theory reported positive effects on both library teaching and learning.23 The University of Toledo (UToledo) is a public research university in Ohio currently serving about 17,000 students. The clock tower mural and other library experiential learning projects allow students to take classroom knowledge and expand on it in a supportive and educational environment.

     summary: A re- cent study by Sula and Berger focused strictly on DH courses taught in LIS schools, but it did not focus on the content of the courses.5 Meanwhile a study by Walsh et al. did analyze course content through course descriptions and syllabi in iSchools but focused only on courses where the title included the words “digital humanities,”6 an approach that, in addition to excluding non-iSchool programs, could potentially exclude courses working with specific methodologies or tools. Furthermore, studies by Zhang et al., as well as by Sula and Berger, revealed the paucity of DH courses or training in most LIS programs.27 While the rise in DH librarian positions and the high demand for DH-relevant skills is fairly recent, the LIS field has been aware of the impending need for training in this area for a while.

        date: 2023
       words: 8911
      flesch: 22
     summary: Rotman proposes a privacy literacy framework as a complementary literacy to digital literacy.7 Rotman’s privacy literacy framework for online interactions in- cludes five elements: understanding the characteristics of information, recognizing online social interactions as potential privacy threats, realizing the possible outcomes of online information disclosure, evaluating privacy threats in a given online interaction, and deciding on how and when to disclose information online.8 Wissinger demonstrates alignment between Rotman’s privacy literacy framework and critical thinking definitions to further inform privacy literacy instruction.9 Lowe argues that privacy and online security should be included in information literacy instruction, and Tewell advocates the inclusion of privacy in critical information literacy learning experiences.10 Wharton notes that privacy literacy can be delivered in conjunction with digital literacy and digital citizenship programming, and provides examples of digital privacy educational offerings from academic libraries.11 Wittek suggests specific privacy literacy instruction topics, including demonstrating alternative search engines, browser extensions, and temporary email accounts, as well as advising patrons to consider the privacy implica- tions of apps and cloud storage used for research.12 Hartman-Caverly and Chisholm find that data profiling and consumer privacy topics are most commonly featured in privacy literacy instruction, which pays less attention to surveillance and intellectual freedom concerns.13 Proj- ect Information Literacy reports that many students make deliberate decisions with respect to online disclosure and privacy protections, and recommends that students learn about the privacy-related concept of algorithmic justice.14 Hagendorff offers four critiques of common approaches to privacy literacy.15 First, Hagen- dorff observes that unequal access to privacy literacy learning experiences perpetuates the disparate impact of surveillance and profiling on members of vulnerable and marginalized groups. Anonymous formative assessment feedback suggests that participants are motivated by the personalized learning activities and value this theory-informed approach to privacy literacy.

     summary: Dover claims that paper technologies created “virtual courts” and communities across Europe and around the world. Naturalists’ combination of observation, description, and reading generated a range of note-taking techniques—loose-leaf manuscript reading notes, paper notebooks, and commonplace books—designed to augment the memory.

     summary: Research and publication are often not high on the list of community college librarians’ responsibilities, and even when they are, most community college librarians simply do not have the time to conduct research and publish their findings due to chronic understaffing and other responsibilities. Another thread throughout the chapters is description and analysis of the complex lives of community college students and how that lived experience can be incorporated into reference and instruction work.

As several authors in this col- lection note, including those in the final chapter on “Diversity Fatigue,” social justice work can be traumatizing and exhausting for those who undertake it.

      flesch: 43
     summary: According to some scholars (Díaz, 2014), though, the emphasis on library engagement started with “the engaged model” by Williams (2009), and this shift from “a collection-centered to an engagement-centered model” was driven by librarians’ “collective acknowledgment” that their roles needed to change with the environment (Díaz, 2014, p. 225). A thorough review of the literature on library engagement reveals that students’ perspec- tives on engagement are absent from the two literature reviews.

     summary: Academic libraries offered online instruction and virtual reference services before COVID-19, but had to adjust their online services to match new needs when most institutions closed down in March 2020 and became fully virtual. This research identified new developments related to virtual reference services and online instruction and the profes- sional development opportunities that could help prepare librarians for these services.

       title: Assessing Diversity in Special Collections and Archives
        date: 2023
       words: 9873
      flesch: 34
     summary: Regardless of the assessment method used, the authors emphasized that “without a shared vision and plan for diversity collections in place, differing opinions on how to increase the number of diversity-related materials in the collection may lead to libraries missing the mark when building collections” and institutions risk not building truly diverse collections due to chaotic or ill-aligned collecting policies and vague value statements.11 Increasing diversity in archives and special collections also requires a thoughtful and deliberate approach to collecting. The 2015–2017 strategic plan was structured to align with UNLV’s Top Tier goals, which listed an increased use and online availability of “unique, regional content” as key measures of success under research, scholarship, and creative activity.25 Beginning in 2015, SCA created a framework for ensuring that the division meets the goals of the Libraries’ strategic plan, such as collecting materials on specific communities and topics, building community partnerships, increasing access to diverse collections, and creating inclusive descriptions.

     summary: May 2023 Recognition for Publishing in OA Journals We posed several questions to find out if, or how, authors were recognized for having published in OA journals. But they certainly can be an important force in helping to bring such change about and should actively seek to create ways to showcase the work of OA authors at their institutions.

     summary: Decorative images are neutral material and are not directly relevant to the essential learning goals.15 Shigeko Takahashi distinguishes instructional and decorative images as a difference of function with the latter providing an aesthetic experience.16 Sascha Schneider et al. also defines decorative images as “pictures which do not provide information (or at least no learning-relevant information) but are included to enrich learning materials with pictures. FIGURE 1 Content Page from the Images Version FIGURE 2 Content Page from the Text-Only Version 380 College & Research Libraries May 2023 Decorative Images The authors chose images that did not have a clear instructional purpose nor were intended to be visually interesting or distracting, following similar definitions of decorative images found in the literature.39 Additionally, the chosen images fit the definition of online decorative images in user experience studies, as the authors considered them to be generic stock art images.40 The authors did not control for factors such as images containing humans or human characteristics, nor did they break the images down into particular subcategories as done elsewhere.41 Using the definitions found in the literature, the following criteria can be applied to im- ages that were selected for this study: • The chosen images appear to be a generic image that would be considered stock art.42 •

     summary: The population analyzed includes the citations from all known publications of the faculty in departments of German studies, German language, or German literature at the fourteen Big Ten Academic Alliance (BTAA)31 member universities from a single year (2017). Giullian and Monroe-Gulick analyzed publications by faculty in Slavic and Eurasian studies at the University of Kansas and found that even though the topic of study was closely linked to other languages, English sources made up 76 percent of book citations and 85 percent of journal citations.15 A recent analysis of East Asian studies by Li found that only about half (53 percent) of citations in doctoral dissertations were to East Asian materials.16 Citation studies of humanities fields where literature in a foreign language is not the topic of study have found that humanities scholars in general do cite foreign language sources, but that the rates vary widely by discipline.

      flesch: 32
     summary: However, this mirrored opposition obscures an important distinction between information literacy and creativity: like literacy, creativity is a skill one may learn or a disposition one may cultivate, but it is also an activity of creative production, one that invites libraries to adopt a wider and more systematic view of their efforts to foster, and perhaps measure, creative productivity.90 Such an approach would not only inform the design and assessment of activities and workshops in which creativity is encouraged, but would also assist librarians across departments in coordinating services that are less recognizably linked to information literacy instruction. 441 Toward a Framework for Information Creativity Mark Dahlquist* Recognizing the importance of information literacy in defining the primary focus of library instruction, this paper suggests the potential utility of a complementary principle of information creativity.

So now we have a book with “preserving data” in the subtitle that is decidedly not by a librarian, not even a digital librarian, but by a self-described “media archaeologist” (87).

     summary: The author convincingly argues that the literary gay fiction that blossomed after US obscenity laws were successively struck down be- tween 1957 and 1966 had to contend with the concurrent proliferation of gay pornography, either by distancing itself from pornography’s crassness, or by freely incorporating explicit pornographic tropes and fantasies to serve their narrative ends. In the digital age, texts that prove crucial to queer self-formation include not just commercially published literature or narrative pornography but everything “from story archives and self-published pornographic novels to promotional materials cre- ated by performers, the erotically elaborate profile text of apps and cruising websites, and the narrative captions appended to pornographic images on micro-blogging platforms.”

In an all-encompassing, digitally connected world, librarians are at the forefront of protect- ing patrons’ digital privacy.

      flesch: 43
     summary: A more detailed description of library services created during the pandemic can be found in Appendix A. The researchers’ interests span many areas that dovetail with research on marginalized populations, including experience with qualitative research, as well as research on equity, diversity and inclusion topics in academic libraries. For example, researchers (Herrera, 2016; Whitmire, 2003) have documented how students of color experience academic libraries differently, often using library resources more than white undergraduates.

        date: 2023

      flesch: 31
     summary: Academic library leadership studies in recent years have employed a variety of research approaches, including transformational leadership theory as well as Lee Bolman and Ter- rance Deal’s four frames of leadership model.3 Studies within the academic library field have been conducted for a variety of reasons in service to leadership: to reveal a more thorough understanding of organizational structures, train and prepare the next generation of library leaders, build more comprehensive roadmaps and strategic plans, and trace the connection between library leaders and the larger university structure within higher education. In academia, we often talk about different lenses or theoretical perspectives that can shape or reshape our approach to a problem or an issue; in my case today, that problem happens to be academic museum leadership.

     summary: As such, it is important not to generalize from these responses as they might not be representative; however they still provide a good baseline of how misinformation instruction is happening in academic libraries. The findings provide an overview of instructional activities related to misinformation in academic libraries, and might be of interest to academic instruction librarians and instruction coordinators or academic library directors responsible for information literacy programs.

        date: 2023
       words: 6929
      flesch: 49
     summary: Collaborative teaching practices between instructor and librarian, pre- and post-tests measuring effectiveness of active learning, and both qualitative and quantitative assessment to understand student self-efficacy before and after library instruction are just a few representative studies that have influenced the design of this study.2 Further, these studies not only center one-shot events as an object of analysis but also demonstrate the critical work that librarians are doing to create meaningful and effective learning environments within this traditional library instruction context.3 Reflection as a pedagogical approach to library instruction facilitates both the design and structure of the library instruction session, as well as the creation of assessment materials to capture student learning in the classroom. Donald L. Gilstrap and Jason Dupree’s Critical Incident Questionnaire, a qualitative assessment method to understand student learning, demonstrates that students can perform critical reflection within the library classroom.8 Adjacent to the conversation about reflective pedagogy in the library instruction class- room is the work librarians have done to define concepts like metaliteracy and metacognition within the one-shot instruction context.

     summary: The problem of student debt is most clear in the book’s discussion of the challenge of accessing and navigating higher education for purposes of training, career transitions, non- traditional student experiences, etc., where the procedural obstacles of the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and student loans are present. Paper, $39 ISBN: 978-1- 68253-756-5. To discuss student loan debt and racial injustice may seem to be disparate conversations, yet these two crises in our society are so ubiquitous that they feel like the water we swim in.

As information types expand and exposure to all of this information continues to increase, students will benefit from learning data literacy skills to succeed in their studies and future professions.

     summary: In our field these include the presence and suppression of HBCU library schools, the need for Black librarians to break away from ALA and form the Black Caucus of the American Library Association, the courageous efforts of Black library workers who carved out paths to library access and librarianship, and those who defied U.S. Jim Crow apartheid by mounting library sit-ins. This provocation prefaces Givens’s thesis on Woodson’s “fugitive spirit” in Black education.

     summary: Existing research also substanti- ates the stereotypical view of doctoral students as young, full-time, and with few work or other commitments (Pearson et al., 2011). At the same time, part-time students are less likely to receive fellowships and assistantships (Nettles & Millett, 2006), as financial support for doctoral students is often earmarked for full-time students (Bates & Goff, 2012; Gardner & Gopaul, 2012).

     summary: This book combines theory with the authors’ expe- riences and that of interviewees to explain the current state of disability inclusion in librari- anship and present ways to improve the accessibility of the field.30 Experience and theory is also blended in a 2019 Library Trends issue on disability; Teneka Williams and Asha Haggod reflected on the state of disability in diversity work, JJ Pionke detailed the barriers he faced when requesting accommodations, Gina Schlesselman-Tarango explores her experience with infertility and its accompanying grief, and Christine Moeller examines how precarity and ableism in academia harms librarians with disabilities.31 In one of the few writings specifi- cally on invisible disability and librarianship, Samantha Cook and Kristina Clement explain the unique challenges faced by people with invisible disabilities in the workplace and how libraries can best support them.32 Lastly, two columns specifically addressed barriers to the hiring process for librarians with disabilities. Disability: A long-term, physical, mental, or neurological impairment that, “in interac- tion with various attitudinal and environmental barriers, hinders …full and effective participation in society on an equal basis with others” (Adapted from United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, Article I).

     summary: Nevertheless, language barriers, cultural differences in how research is pursued, research requirements for librarians, or other factors still appear to be holding back international collaboration among academic library authors. Past studies have shown an interest in what countries are most represented or least repre- sented in library journal authorship according to the authors’ national affiliation.

     summary: If one is concerned about potential adverse correlations, one option is to overstate the risks when choosing numbers, which will lead to conservative choices about the number of book copies to retain. In this paper, we develop a quantitative model that enables us to identify tangible reten- tion targets based on what is known about the key reasons that copies of book titles become lost, unusable, or otherwise unavailable over time.† We specifically include the following fac- tors in the model: (1) on-shelf probability—the probability that an accurately-cataloged book is on the shelf or in a known location; (2) bibliographic record inaccuracy—the bibliographic record differs from the item known to be on the shelf; (3) annual loss rate—the annual rate at which copies are physically lost from the collection; (4) physical deterioration over time—the * For our purposes, an “average book” is one that represents traits most commonly held in libraries.

     summary: Acknowledging the argument some make that unrestricted intellectual freedom causes harm, Knox leans instead toward the broadest possible interpretation of intellectual freedom. Knox begins by defining intellectual freedom, noting that some definitions focus more on access to information, others are more concerned with freedom of expression, and still oth- ers are a mixture of the two.

     summary: Looking at the approach of Arte Programmata artists to information theory and cy- bernetic environments is an opportunity to think with them: how might they inspire us to design interfaces or service points differently? In analyzing the work of Arte Programmata artists and drawing on contemporary critical theory about technology and society, Caplan makes the intriguing argument that “programming, planning, and control are not categorically an- tithetical to individual freedom but form the conditions that enable and encourage subjective agency” (3).

     summary: Reflecting on how libraries and their existing workflows are evolving alongside the rise of generative AI is intriguing, yet extremely challenging due to the rapid development of the technology. As a result, despite various opportunities and challenges presented by generative AI, librarians should consider charting their own personal roadmap to learn about and familiarize themselves with this technology based on their unique circumstances, interests, and needs.

     summary: Mentoring and Career Support for Mid-Career Academic Librarians Jennie Gerke, Juliann Couture, and Jennifer Knievel* Little research exists that evaluates the existence and importance of mentoring for academic librarians with faculty status who have already achieved tenure but have not yet been promoted to a more senior rank, such as full professor or full librarian. Formal structured mentoring should continue to be offered to librarians throughout their careers, even for li- brarians who don’t intend to pursue further promotion, in order to support the success of mid-career librarians in reaching their career goals.

      flesch: 27
     summary: Most notably, in 2011 the Canadian Association of Research Libraries (CARL) developed the Librarians’ Research Institute (LRI), which debuted in 2012 and continues to provide research librarians in Canada with intensive professional development to this day.18 In 2017, Vicki Whitmell reported on the LRI, arguing that there is a role for academic library associations to play in providing relevant professional development because their members may need this support to meet research and publication requirements placed on them by their institutions.19 Methodology Through this exploratory research project, the authors seek to develop an understanding of the current research and publication practices of community college librarians, the types of support they receive for this work, and their perceptions of barriers that make this work more challenging. Based on their 2018 research with early career librarians, Erin Ackerman, Jennifer Hunter, and Zara T. Wilkinson argued that such organizations should get into the game because of their reach and collective resources: “Because they serve a wider base of constituents by design, professional organiza- tions can offer research supports that may be vital for librarians who have fewer opportunities or who have difficulty finding informal mentors or collaborators in their own libraries.”17

        date: 2023
       words: 8720
      flesch: 33
     summary: Since metrics will still be used, and the “simple-minded comparison” of two metrics “will give meaningless results unless the indices are properly corrected for the fact that different science fields have different citation habitudes,” our study examines the disciplinary differ- ences between journal metrics in the databases of Scopus, Eigenfactor, Web of Science, and Google Scholar.7 Previous research has suggested that these databases have been growing consistently and with enough stability to allow for a cross-disciplinary study of them such as this one.8 Impact Factor, for example, has asserted that it should not be used for Humanities journals, yet, in our experience, Humanities professors and students still attempt to use Impact Factor to as- sess their work.9 While previous scholars have offered their own systems for attempting to normalize disciplinary differences in bibliometrics, these systems are often complex and are, in the end, essentially unused.10 Therefore, we seek to offer academic libraries, rank and tenure committees, and other interested persons some simple trends for distinguishing the general differences between journal metrics in various disciplines.

Although these calls did not specifically target diversity residency programs, one of the sources used to identify respondents was the list of residencies that participated in the ACRL Diversity Alliance.

     summary: The phenomenon of burnout in academic libraries began appearing in library literature in the 1970s and 1980s as these institutions started experiencing economic scarcity and techno- logical changes that sped up and expanded library work, factors that will be deeply familiar to contemporary academic library workers. This is also something for academic libraries to consider not only in instruction but in terms of how they structure their collections and physical spaces.

     summary: Participants in our study were aware of open access in a general sense but were unclear about the nuances in identifying what made a work open access (e.g., licensed library resources versus Research Gate), what resources or policies in support of open access were available at their institution, and how to intentionally practice open access publishing (particularly outside of the gold open access model, as they were not familiar with self-archiving). Between 20 and 25 percent of respondents in Rich- ardson, McLeod, and Hurst’s study believed that open access journals drive innovation and have higher readership.

     summary: My Own Way 35 Findings of Code 2 JC1 mentioned the perceived reputation of open access journals, which relates to Code 2: how perceived quality might impact an author’s choice whether to publish open access. Interviewee JCE2 was hesitant to publish in open access journals based on a conflation between open access and vanity publishing, or publishing without formal peer review.

     summary: They argue that although OER addresses and ameliorates economic injustice by opening access to more students, it hardly creates an inclusive environment for students to have free access to materials that may alienate them by not adequately representing them or through perpetuating harmful cultural biases or stereotypes. Sathy & Hogan (2022) characterize inclusive teaching as a means of “embracing student diversity in all forms—race, ethnicity, gender, disability, socioeconomic background, ideology, even personality traits like introversion—as an asset.

     summary: But it is just over the past few years that publishers—large and small, commercial and non-commercial—have greatly accelerated their adoption of these types of models and demonstrated a deeper commitment to transitioning away from the traditional paywalled subscription model.10 There are many reasons for this, including changing expectations of funders, the growth of open science, and the long-held desire by many to see the promise of open access finally become a reality.11 This article looks at revenue models for open access journal publishing in the United States. However, without subscription revenues to rely on, publishers of open access journals must turn to alternative funding and labor models to support their operations.

     summary: These programs are part of a movement to build a scholar-led, community-driven publishing infrastructure that provides alternatives to the increasingly commercial landscape of journal publishing. While journal relationships with external organizations are critical, they were sometimes tied (precariously) to a single editorial member, meaning these supports could disappear if that editor leaves.

      flesch: 39
     summary: This aligns with a point made by Fyfe et al. that smaller societies participating in copublishing arrangements with large publishers appear to have little or no knowledge of their finances.47 The OA Diamond Journals Study also found that almost one-third of journals they surveyed did not know their financial status.48 This lack of knowledge could potentially expand to various equitable funding models for OA journal publishing. Discussion The findings show a general lack of knowledge by journal editors about their journal’s bud- gets, with just a third initially indicating they were aware of their journal budgets and even fewer offering estimated budgets.

     summary: The final product was an annotated bibliography, organized in four key topics: the current state of open access publishing, making scholarly materials (particularly grant proposals)open access, examples of open access grant proposals, and information on existing repositories. This lack of grant-specific resources serves as evidence of how ambiguity in the funding process and limited examples of open access grant proposals are a challenge not only for grant seekers, but also for library faculty and staff trying to create useful resources for the university community (Lundy & Curran, 2020).

     summary: This longitudinal study extends previous immediate and short-term assessments by interviewing Research Sprints participants at two research-intensive institutions The other study from UMN—a short-term evaluation of 19 Research Sprints over three iterations— found that this model is effective at building social capital, increasing faculty engagement with libraries, and establishing working relationships between faculty and librarians.5 Given the immediate successes of these collaborations, a team of researchers from KU and UMN sought to determine the long-term outcomes and impacts of Research Sprints on participants’ project progress, effects on their research/teaching practice, relationships with the libraries, and overall experience with the Research Sprints.

     summary: Due to the lack of authoritative resources on which institutions grant librarians tenure, the study was sent to several professional email listservs covering a variety of specialties, including management, within academic libraries. When asked about how many managers, including themselves, were also on the tenure track at their institution (Q7), only two responses indicated they were the only managers on tenure track (see table 4).

     summary: The correlations they derived between journal title usage and citing data were fairly weak and open to interpretation. Literature Review There is a long and rich literature on journal publication, citation, and usage metrics, par- ticularly in the area of citation analysis, which is defined as the examination of citations from journal articles, dissertations, or other publications to determine trends and patterns of use.3 Ashman reviewed and categorized 88 studies on citation analysis culled from the library 236 College & Research Libraries March 2024 literature published from 1995 to 2008, categorizing the articles into nine types of literature profiles in the areas of public service, assessment, and collection-related areas.4 Hoffmann and Doucette reviewed 34 articles on citation analysis methodologies published from 2005 to 2010 and found that the articles typically did not provide enough information to make them adaptable for practical collection management decisions.5 Many studies have examined the relationships between citation and usage, in both local and global settings, first with print collections, then later with e-journal collections.

Roadmapping, however, enabled librarians to quickly grasp (and reference as-needed) the various major programs, core require- ments, history of information literacy instruction, and more, facilitating both effective use of staff resources and higher-level planning for their information literacy program.21 There is also plenty of evidence in the literature of roadmapping being used as a preliminary step in a more-involved curriculum mapping project, or in conjunction with other techniques such as syllabus analysis.22 Strategies such as roadmapping and syllabus analysis are necessarily fairly qualitative, but it can be difficult to accurately assess a program’s reach and understand the program as a whole without quantitative information.

     summary: 267 Sexual Harassment on Chat Reference: Prevalence, Impact, and the Role of Organizations Samantha Kannegiser and Julie Hunter* Over 100 chat providers in academic libraries were surveyed in a premier study mea- suring experiences of sexual harassment among library workers providing online chat reference. Research expands this definition to understand sexual harassment as a psychological construct with negative effects, even when the behaviors do not meet the legal thresholds of frequency or severity to be prohibited.2 A subset of the sexual harassment literature focuses on third-party sexual harassment, or customer sexual harassment, which recognizes that workers in service positions are harassed by their customers or patrons and are more vulnerable to harassment because of the power imbalance between service providers and customers.3 The effects of experiencing third-party sexual ha- rassment are similar to the effects of other types of workplace harassment; namely, lower job and health satisfaction and increased psychological stress.4 Library workers, like other frontline service workers, have reported experiencing sexual harassment at work by colleagues and supervisors, as well as third-party sexual harassment by patrons.5 While library work is often done in person, library reference work is increasingly *  Samantha Kannegiser is Student Success Librarian at Rutgers University-Camden, email: Samantha.kannegiser@ rutgers.edu; Julie Hunter was Student Success Librarian at Western Connecticut State University at the time this research was conducted and is now CMG Knowledge Management Lead at RSM US, email: julie.hunter@rsmus. com.

     summary: As comic books and their associated media continue to dominate popular culture, many libraries are exploring the idea of collecting them or thinking of new ways to use the comic books they have as aids to instruction and research and to draw more students into the library. The breadth of topics covered across the chapters of this work means that almost any reader will find some applicable ideas for collecting, organizing, and using comic book collections in an academic setting.

       words: 9120
      flesch: 33
     summary: This literature is a key means of knowledge sharing, as despite the widespread popularity of primary source instruction, there remains a scarcity of formal education opportunities for faculty and graduate instructors.9 In recent years, several prominent edited volumes have offered strategies for teaching with primary sources: Using Primary Sources: Hands-on In- structional Exercises (2014); Teaching With Primary Sources, published in 2016 as part of the Society of American Archivists “Trends in Archival Practice” series; Teaching Undergraduates with Archives (2019); and The Teaching with Primary Sources Cookbook (2021).10 Beyond these edited collections, the Teaching with Primary Sources Collective maintains an updated bibliography that touches on the use of primary sources in various educational settings.11 Garcia, Lueck, and Yakel (2019) also provide a thorough survey of the professional literature pertaining to teaching with primary sources that includes 154 books and articles published on the topic since 1949.12 Recent examples include a wide array of works considering how primary sources can enhance student engagement across academic disciplines, primary sources related to underrepresented groups and social movements, as well as those which focus specifically on digital themes.13 Of particular note pertaining to this last topic is the work of Brianna Gormly, et al., who have thoughtfully explored the particular challenges and opportunities inherent in teaching with digital primary sources, a topic of increasing concern in undergraduate student education.14 A growing concern among this literature focuses on the importance of relationships between library, archives, and museum professionals, and their counterparts in the teach- ing faculty. The instructors talked about using digital primary sources–sometimes new to them and sometimes not–as well as digital tools that they began incorporating into their courses.27 How instructors con- ceptualized using primary sources was often dependent upon their understanding of and approach to using various types of digital and digitized examples.

     summary: The Association of College and Research Libraries’ Roles and Strengths of Teaching Librarians from 2017 outlines multiple roles for librarians including advocate, coordinator, instructional designer, leader, lifelong learner, teacher, and teaching partner.37 While an individual instruction librarian is not necessarily expected to play all of these roles, the descriptions highlight the wide-range of skills and knowledge that many teaching librarians are expected to possess. Further, it was determined that “the wide-scale adoption of a dedicated TTT approach to information literacy, especially one in which librar- ians would give up most or all direct instruction with students, would require a significant change in perception and practice among many librarians and disciplinary faculty.

In 1981, J. Phillipe Rushton and Sari Meltzer found a positive correlation between the number of current journal subscriptions (among other variables) and total publications, and concluded that revenue was the primary factor that could predict the result of other examined variables, including productivity.11 More than 30 years later, Michael Rawls used ARL library expenditure data and other metrics including faculty publications and research expenditures to conclude that research productivity was positively correlated with electronic library resource expen- ditures.12 A more recent study compared ARL expenditures data, grant expenditures, and faculty articles in journal publications.13

      flesch: 37
     summary: Yuqi He, and Sei-Chin Joanna Sin noted in 2013 that, while undergraduate students utilized media sharing sites such as Social Q&A and Wikis, graduate students preferred blogs.10 These authors observed that students’ majors also determined the social media platforms they utilized.11 Similarly, in 2014, Kim, Sin, and Eun Young Yoo-Lee found that students use some social media platforms as information sources, including Wikipedia and social networking sites.12 Recently, a 2021 literature review examining students’ preferences on reading formats and the use of social media information sources for academic and non-academic purposes noted that college students use social media for “class assignments and projects.”13 Three respondents did not answer this question directly; however, they displayed a pessimistic attitude towards social media, stating: “I am disgusted by social media, which pervades my instruction,” “Giving off the ‘hello fellow kids’ vibe,” and “I do not want to support social media platforms in general so I don’t want to encourage using them for any purposes…” FIGURE 4 Respondents’ Selection of Three Challenges when Using Social Media in Library Instruction 490 College & Research Libraries May 2024 Benefits When Using Social Media in Library Instruction Figure 5 shows that 55 percent of 92 respondents perceived students’ familiarity with social media as a benefit of including it in library instruction.

      flesch: 38
     summary: All major commercial publishers now have open access agreements in the United States, as do many not-for-profit publishers.1 While there are alternatives that forgo article processing charges (APCs)—such as Subscribe to Open and the tiered model developed by Association of Computing Machinery (ACM)—the most prevalent open models at this time, such as Read and Publish, are based on the payment of charges per article. For libraries that are new to making open access agreements, questions often arise about how they are negotiated and the work involved with their successful implementation.

     summary: Conclusion Because library data are often not integrated into other university data, there are major ob- stacles in demonstrating the richness and complexity of the value of academic library usage for the students who use these resources. Thus, we ran panel linear mixed effects (LME) regression models of the association between library usage and student GPA, contingent on students being enrolled in at least four semesters over the study period.

     summary: The purpose of the interviews and focus group was to learn if the interviewed students viewed their academic library as a place that increased their sense of belonging at UIUC, and to learn more about ways academic libraries can support multiracial students. While there is an abundance of literature that discusses different ways that libraries attempt to be more inclusive, there is a definite research gap about the role of academic libraries in their support of multiracial students, particularly regarding these students’ sense of belonging.

     summary: Although the Working Group was able to formulate some general recommendations, there was uncertainty around how the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as the Library’s shift to a functional organizational structure, might impact liaison librarian activities and annual assignments in the future. Additionally, it is unknown how the Library’s recent shift towards a functional organizational structure will impact liaison librarian activities.

     summary: Across material types, between 19–23% of faculty considered “none” of the factors that would ease student use of the material, which suggests these instruc- tors give no regard to course material cost (See Figure 5). Furthermore, because more faculty look for article availability more often than book availability through libraries, there is greater potential for impact on course material costs through faculty-library personnel collaborations that focus on books, especially in those dis- ciplines that tend to be more book and chapter dependent than article dependent.

     summary: As noted above, institutions may still be collecting student life material and prioritiz- ing the collection of this material even if there is no public-facing collection policy, and/or if public facing documents or statements make no mention of collecting student life materials. Not including student materials in a collection development policy suggests that an institution is not committed to collecting student life materials.

The book can be used as a guide for initiating similar projects or for generating ideas that transcend the norms of traditional library space in order to develop new services.

     summary: Similarly, in the subsequent chapter, Gammons et al. share a case study from the University of Maryland where IL instruction was struggling due to being isolated as a single unit; the chapter authors propose communities of practice as a solution. Strategically speaking, the library can play a more integral part in student success when integrating IL instruction into curriculum development at the institutional level.

     summary: Part four positions the boundary within the practice of library history itself with a how-to chapter on conducting library history research and a necessary critique of the lack of diversity in voices represented in LIS history. The book ends with an example of critical historiography, in which authors Loriene Roy and Rea N. Simmons note the ways BIPOC voices have been sidelined in library history; they make efforts to rectify this by incorporating numerous examples of indigenous librarians, past and present, whose stories should be told to enrich LIS literature.

     summary: It also contains guidance on selecting materials and matching books to their intended audiences, including outlining how choosing books for bibliotherapy differs from choosing them for other purposes. Avid readers know the feeling of being emotionally affected by books, of seeing their experiences reflected in a way that helps them reach greater understanding, or of encountering new perspectives that help them culti- vate empathy.

     summary: Since it is clear that ALA journal publication has ethical holes, for the first time organizational policy provides an expectational standard of editorial behavior applying across the constellation of ALA journals. As ALA journal editors engage with and practice the Policy, I believe it would also be helpful for the ALA editors to regroup after a year or so of its publication to assess how the ALA Publication Ethics Policy is supporting all parties involved and what might need to be revised.

     summary: Literature Review The question of how faculty access scholarly content has been studied at scale.5 The Ithaka S+R US Faculty Survey was an important springboard for the study at hand. However, by asking participants to describe how they access and share scholarly content, as well as how important immediate access is, the authors understood that library access would only be part of the conversation and that other methods would also be discussed.

     summary: It should be noted that the total number of librarians supporting systematic reviews upon which that sample size was calculated may have been an overestimation for two reasons: (1) not all librarians providing reference support will provide systematic review services, and (2) not all librarians supporting synthesis reviews will have supported systematic reviews (one kind of synthesis review) within the twelve-month time-frame of our eligibility criteria. These services are referred to using various terminology, including systematic review services, synthesis re- view services, and knowledge synthesis services.

Due to the complexity of identified issues, certain issues correspond to multiple categories depending on their nature and context.

     summary: Graduates of LIS programs may not be aware of the degree to which academic librarians are typically involved in teaching and should have the opportunity to participate in both information literacy and SoTL research prior to employment. In order to better understand the connection between academic librarianship and SoTL, it should be noted that SoTL research involves studies conducted in partnership with students, and then taking that research and making it public.

     summary: Therefore, it is unsurprising that studies on library accessibility information have focused on examining what is included on these web accessibility pages rather than solely on information formally labeled as a policy. Another recent study of library accessibility webpages, focused specifically on four-year degree granting institutions in Virginia, found that, “[o]f the 40 libraries examined in this study, only 11 (27.5%) included policy or program content related to library accessibility for patrons with disabilities on their official websites in the summer of 2018” (Vaughan & Warlick, 2020, p. 4).

     summary: The American Library Association (ALA) issued two guideline documents, a decade apart, to support library workers in the development of cultural competency skills: Diversity Standards: Cultural Competency for Academic Libraries (“Diversity Standards”)3 in 2012, and Cultural Proficiencies for Racial Equity: A Framework (“Cultural Proficiencies”) in 2022.4 Com- paring the two documents demonstrates how academic library cultural competency training moved from being anchored in library values and services to engaging with contested social and political topics that probe—and challenge—the personal views and beliefs of individual library workers. The ability of DEI trainers to keep up with ever-fluid linguistic norms and nuances also serves as a filter to identify library workers who do not devote the same energy to that purpose, or who lack the class- or education-based advantages to keep up.

       title: Building Distinctive Collections: A Survey of Association of Research Libraries’ Member Institutions Acquisitions Infrastructure
        date: 2025
       words: 9152
      flesch: 26
     summary: Acquisitions departments play an essential role in building library collections, but relatively little attention has been paid to the acquisitions process and its impact on equity, diversity, and inclusion (hereafter mentioned as EDI) either in library collections development in general or in distinc- tive collections specifically. To increase diversity in library collections, genuine interrogation of past and present acquisitions practices—to identify and correct structural and systemic barriers that have made collecting marginalized voices challenging—should persist and increase.

     summary: Without exception, all the research has documented both a statistically significant relationship between student library resource and service use and better GPAs, and that these two factors are positively correlated (Cox & Jantti, 2012; Haddow, 2013; LeMaistre, 2018; Soria et al. 2013; The literature on academic library correlation assessment has documented research and practices using the quantitative method to collect data on resource and service use, to analyze how student library use impacts their learning, and to explore the relationship between stu- dents’ library use and learning outcomes or academic achievement.

     summary: The lived experiences of women in library leadership showcase the barriers, discrimination, and inequitable expectations still faced despite the growth in representation.27 Methods This paper presents a portion of the results of a sabbatical project approved by Penn State University for 2023 related to inclusive leadership and decision making in academic libraries. One goal noted was that BIPOC library employees would feel comfortable speaking directly with this person and that their voice would be represented in library leadership.

The reason is that organizational justice focuses on the perception of fairness and equity as it is linked to employee retention and job satisfaction.

     summary: To do so, they drafted and tested a provisional definition of academic library engagement. Their paper concludes with a revised definition of academic library engagement that elaborates on the “how” and the “why” of what engagement is in this context: Sustained, strategic positioning of the academic library, through new or redirected resources, to create collaborative relationships with identified parties in order to advance institutional, community, and societal goals; through a progression of activities ranging from one-time initiatives, to longer-term projects, to enduring partnerships; to solve institutional- and community-level problems, or to support broad efforts to address long-range societal issues, through a range of engaged activities to create new knowledge, new products and services through these strategic choices; and to effect qualitatively different roles for academic libraries themselves through influential, reciprocal, and value enhancing relationships of Defining Engagement for Academic Librarians 871 mutual benefit to libraries and the varied constituents and publics with whom they collaborate (2011, p. 347).

     summary: Library faculty provide significant support during the research process, contribute to higher rates of student and faculty retention, and play a key role in building a university’s reputation. Supporting faculty research can lead to lower levels of stress and burnout, increased job satisfaction and feelings of productivity, and offset the negative impact of the “publish or perish” mentality within academia.

Chapter 1 broadly conceptualizes information literacy teaching with social media and includes a literature review.

     summary: T h e survey by Brown of land-grant college libraries, and the surveys by Raney, Works, Carlson, and Wilson-Branscomb- Dunbar and Lyle, of university libraries, and numerous articles dealing with various aspects of university library administra- tion, have played their part. C a r d distribution by the Library of Congress and other libraries; the publica- tion of union lists of serials, manuscripts, newspapers, and catalogs of major world- famed libraries; the development of local, regional, and national union catalogs have likewise placed responsibilities upon uni- versity libraries which were all but un- known in 1900.

     summary: T h e r e should always be opportunities for superior li- brarians who have obtained their equip- ment through experience to become university librarians, and even for trans- fers from other fields if special, uncommon qualities are desired or if the library pro- fession cannot interest and train just those whom the universities want. I would urge emphasis for university librarians on the extension of reference work into periodicals, society publications, documents and particularly printed bibliographies, while in cataloging it might well be explained even to be- ginners that our card catalogs were just the best available present device for mak- ing known the contents of libraries; that for large scholarly libraries there were valid criticisms against the dictionary card catalog on the score both of its complexity in use and of its cost; that much subject work is likely in the future to be done through reference to printed bibliogra- phies; that the rapidly developing arts of photography and cheap mechanical repro- duction may within the professional lives of our students bring back the printed catalog in new forms, with cards necessary only for supplements; that classifications, particularly in the biological and physical sciences and in what some optimistically call the social sciences, being concerned with the literature as it now exists, must go out of date, become inadequate, as that literature, geared as it is to the sub- ject matter and its treatment, changes.

     summary: Having pointed out what I have come to look upon as a serious problem in the recruiting of library school students who wish to go into university library work, I must hasten to add that I do not mean to classify all students who have to work their way through college as mediocre, though I think the student who is entirely selfdependent suffers a serious handicap in getting the kind of education he needs to make a successful career in university li- brary work. i s , in my opinion, does not necessarily indicate a need for more atten- tion to library school training for such positions, but rather to the need of ( I ) bringing into university library work peo- ple of a higher level of ability with a better and different kind of general education, ( 2 ) thorough professional training for the entire professional staff, and ( 3 ) more op- portunity for intensive experience in posi- tions of some responsibility in various departments of the library.

     summary: In fact, it would be more logical from this angle to select university librarians from among those scholars on the faculty who have already shown their skill as teachers and writers rather than from technically trained librarians. W e seem to be agreed, in the second place, that these demands are not entirely uniform in all universities; that certain qualifications will inevitably weigh more heavily in certain appointments than in others; that, within limits, the resultant multiplicity and variety of gifts and points of view are valuable to the profession ; that in practice, there seems to be no straight and narrow way leading directly from the cradle to a position as university librarian ; and that it is therefore exceedingly difficult —impossible, in fact—to outline in detail a program of training which is universally and necessarily the best for all prospective university librarians.

     summary: IF WE agree that a university library capable of supporting research is one having the major part of the literature in those fields of graduate study offered by the institution, as well as a teaching, re- search and library staff capable of servic- ing it, then we may conclude that there are not more than a score of universities in the United States having adequate library resources to do graduate work in any considerable variety of departments. Furthermore, American librarians are partly to blame that this situation exists; first, because some have not had the cour- age to assert the weaknesses of their col- lections, and the sheer impossibility of giving adequate support to graduate study, and second, because those who have called attention to the ridiculousness of such pro- grams of instruction have allowed them- selves to be ignored by the other univer- sity authorities.

With the increase in tutorial instruc- tion, periodicals are becoming more and more essential to college libraries.

     summary: NEEDED improvements and develop-ments in junior college libraries and library services which it seems to me are reasonable to look forward to in the next two or three years may be considered un- der the following heads: development of library consciousness on the part of ad- ministrators, compilation of information on junior college libraries, improvement of book collections, improvement of periodi- cals, greater emphasis on library service, better library tools, increased recognition of staff, evaluation of libraries, and organi- zation of a library section in the American Association of Junior Colleges. Since devising this scale, I have fre- quently wondered whether it would be desirable to construct a similar scale for the evaluation of the periodical collections of junior college libraries, not only as an evaluative instrument but as a suggestive guide for periodical subscriptions as well.

     summary: 1 2 For summarizing opinion about the functions of university libraries, use was made especially of writings by Kaiser, Keogh, Sproul, and Works. Of interest to the university library in relation to library service to undergradu- ates is the fact that there has been a marked shift in training for the medical, legal, teaching, library and other profes- sions from the undergraduate to the gradu- ate level.

     summary: In my opinion possible improvments in library resources in such regions are largely dependent upon evangelical efforts of teachers who have experienced a vital library program in their pre-service period of preparation.5 M a n y teachers will per- force have to do what will be done to promote library resources in a community and to utilize and integrate library activity and instruction in their schools. T h e library building, or in too many institutions the library room in an- other building, is very inferior to equiva- lent college facilities and equipment for other phases of college education.

     summary: Descriptions of resources are a poor sub- stitute for the organization of staff and book stock resources of the nation as a whole or of one of its subdivisions; but they are nevertheless a substitute which, in the hands of a resourceful librarian or a pertinacious student, will in the end help to connect print with the client. If, on the other hand, you seek all or much of the informa- tion on some topic, the mesh of any de- scription of library resources is likely to seem too fine or too coarse.

     summary: Randall's Carnegie Corporation survey of college libraries had been in print only four years. Incidentally, it may be significant for the future ad- ministration of college libraries that among the four recommendations made for reaching this desired goal, the section referring to libraries requires that they shall be organized and administered pri- marily for the student's convenience in learning.7 These selections from the literature of the college today, infinitesimal as they are in view of all that is being written, serve to show that T h e gap between American faith in education and satisfac- tion in its results is sufficiently great to give rise to a continual stream of diag- nosis and cures.

     summary: Further- more, it would deprive libraries of the use of their books pending cataloging, would add transportation costs to the cost of cataloging, and would involve the same delays and time losses which now occur in large libraries for various reasons. A more direct influence in keeping co- operative cataloging in the foreground of library interest was the printing by the Library of Congress of catalog entries sup- plied by other libraries.
