Personnel
The recently appointed director of libraries of active in the administration of his former in­

, stitution, serving as federal liaison person. His 
­ activities contributed to the activation of several 
­ federally supported projects—Upward Bound, 
 Teacher Corps, and Migrant Worker.
 Pat Barkey has not resided overly long in 

South Texas, but his residence has been suf­
ficient to recognize his abilities as librarian 

 and for his colleagues to realize a sense of 
loss at his leave-taking. The University of 
Toledo is fortunate in gaining the services of 

 Barkey in this important stage of library ex­
­ pansion and development.—Leslie M. Gower.
 
 To the position of university librarian and 
 professor of bibliography at Oakland Univer­

­ sity, W. Royce Butler brings qualities of un­
derstanding, acuity, 

 and drive to satisfy 
 the complex needs 
­ which modern schol­
­ arly communities ex­
 pect their directors to 

­ serve. A range of in­
 terests and experience 

­ supporting concentrat­
 ed practice of admin­

­ istration is a qualifica­
­ tion too rarely availa­
 ble. His achievement 
 Mr. Butler in a profession, prac­
 ticed for a little less

than a decade, has been notable. He is a Ca­
 nadian whose talents bring distinction to two 

­ countries.
 Alumnus of the University of British Colum­
 bia, he did graduate work in English at the 
 universities of Toronto, Denver, and Colorado. 

t First Class Honors, a University Prize, a Fel­
 lowship in English, university teaching at 

­ Denver and Toronto suggest his cultivation in 
 the humanities and arts, and in bibliography, 
 all kept active in practice. His sense of history 
 and of the quality of the moment are steadily 

t applied to the crucial tasks of building col­
 lections. Scholars and teachers at Oakland will 
 find in him an informed sympathy and the 
 balanced direction urgently needed for endur­

l ing work in academic librarianship.
For special problems of administration and 

­ management, Mr. Butler’s career reveals a con­
 centration of relevant experience not easily 

. matched. After a decade of directing and man­
­ aging the Marine Lumber Company in Van­
 couver, he took the MLS at the University of 
 California in Berkeley in 1959, and then headed 
 the order department at Honnold library of the 

, Associated Colleges at Claremont, the acquisi­
­ tions division of the Boston University libraries, 

and the division of technical services of the

the University of Toledo, Patrick T. Barkey
assumes his new position July 1 with the con

fidence of his col
leagues that he is
more than equal to
this his newest chal­
lenge.

Mr. Barkey begins
his work at the uni­
versity by immediate­
ly stepping into the
problems of a build
ing program. Such
problems, if headache
promised, are not new

Mr. Barkey to him, for he has re
cently sweated into

construction the new library building of his
most recent two-year headship, Texas A.&I.
College. He comes well equipped for his To
ledo directorship because of his successful ten
ure and innovations at A.&I. Although a re-
spector of the traditional methods of the pro
fession, he appreciated the advantages inherent
in contemporary technological processes. Con
version of the circulation and serial routines
to electronic data processing, changing of ac
quisitions to computer based operation, re
organization of administrative structure, and
the adoption of some of his procedures by
other Texas colleges testifies to his imaginative
administrative ability.

Preceding his service at A.&I., Mr. Barkey
held a variety of positions in as many institu
tions. Beginning his professional career in 1955
at Flint public library (Michigan) at the usual
desk assignments in reader services, he was
rapidly promoted to head of the library’s firs
audio-visual service whereupon he received
widespread recognization for his work in build
ing a unique collection. In 1957 he accepted
the position of head of circulation, University
of Notre Dame, and, in 1960, the headship of
the circulation and reserve departments a
Eastern Illinois University. In the latter position
he assumed the preliminary responsibility of
inaugurating the program of electronic data
processing which was to prove very beneficia
to his subsequent Texas institution.

Mr. Barkey received his BA at Pomona Col
lege, Claremont, California, and his MA in
library science at the University of Michigan
He is a member of ALA and Southwestern Li
brary Association. He has been particularly
active in the Texas Library Association, the
Coastal Bend Library Association, and the
Texas Council of State College Librarians
holding various offices and speaking respon
sibilities in each. In addition he has been very



147

University of Denver libraries. He comes to 
Oakland from the associate directorship at York 
University and a teaching post on the graduate 
faculty of Toronto’s school of library science.

Mr. Butler is a member of ALA and of the 
American Association of University Professors. 
Former member of the Canadian Library As­
sociation and of regional ones in Canada and 
this country, he was for two years the founding 
editor of The Colorado Academic Library and 
contributes to it and other journals.—Julian G. 
Michel.

Ronald V. Glens, newly appointed director 
of library services at Brandeis University brings 
to this position many characteristics calculated 

to ensure success. His 
varied experience, his 
boundless energy, his 
enthusiasm and his 
wide view of library 
matters will all be 
c a lle d  u p o n  as he 
faces the task of de­
veloping major library 
resources and facili­
ties at an emerging 
university.

A native of Des 
Mr. Glens Moines, he graduated 

from Kansas State
University, Manhattan in 1952 with a degree 
in industrial journalism and immediately en­
tered the Armed Forces where he served as an 
information specialist at Eta Jima, Japan, from 
1952-55. During that time he served for two 
years as editor of the camp newspaper bunka 
sai, On his release from service he undertook 
graduate study in English and participated in 
the Bread Loaf Writers’ Conference at Middle­
bury College. He then attended Kansas State 
Teachers College at Emporia and took an MS 
in library science in 1956. For another year he 
served as an instructor in the AV department 
at Kansas State Teachers, and then became 
general librarian at the University of Idaho 
from 1957-60. While in this position he gained 
much experience that would prove to be of 
value, in particular, his participation in the 
early phases of the Washington State Univer­
sity/University of Idaho mechanized union list 
of serials. Ron left Idaho to become executive 
secretary of the Reference Services Division of 
ALA from 1960-63, where, among other things, 
he served as ALA staff liaison with the director 
of Library 21 at the Seattle Worlds Fair during 
the feasibility study, design, and fund raising 
stages.

I first came to know Ronald Glens during 
his tenure as director of libraries at Elmira 
College (1963-date). As one of the main 
forces in that spirited group of librarians head­
ing the member libraries of the College Center

of the Finger Lakes he called on me as a con­
sultant to assist them in designing and imple­
menting a practical mechanized processing 
center. I became impressed with his drive and 
his vision at that time and since have had no 
reason to change my mind. That the College 
Center of the Finger Lakes is moving ahead 
and even now seeking a director for its library 
processing center, is, I suspect, due in large 
measure to his interest and inspiration.

During all these years Ron has continued his 
editorial and writing interests, serving as editor 
of the A/V Newsletter at Kansas State Teach­
ers College during 1956-59, as assistant editor 
of the Bookman, at the University of Idaho 
library during 1957-60, as Idaho editor of the 
Pacific Northwest Annual Bibliography for 1959 
and 1960, as publication officer for RQ during 
1962/63, and as joint editor, Union List of 
U.S. Documents in the Finger Lakes Area, a 
project presently underway. He has also been 
active in other professional areas, most recently 
in designing and operating jointly with the 
A/V director at Elmira College, an experi­
mental library/learning resources center for 
teacher preparation and continuing education. 
The results of this experiment are to be utilized 
in the design of the new college library and 
perhaps in a reorganization of the methods of 
instruction at Elmira College. As a member of 
ALA and of various state library associations, 
he has been an active professional, serving on 
numerous committees, often as chairman. He 
is also a member of the Bibliographical Society 
of America and the American Documentation 
Institute. Along with all of this, he continues 
his interests in matters bibliographical with 
emphasis on Western Americana, the writings 
of LCP and the first editions of E. M. Forster. 
—Carl Jackson.

On May 15, Pearce S. Grove, assistant 
director of libraries at Kansas State University 
for the past two years, became library director 

and chairman, de­
partment of library 
science, at Eastern 
New Mexico Univer­
sity, Portales. It is 
both a personal and 
professional pleasure 
to welcome someone 
with Mr. Grove’s tal­
ents, energies, and en­
thusiasm to the South­
west. In one of those 
strange twists of fate, 

Mr. Grove Grove now comes to 
head a library which

offered him another unusual opportunity upon 
his graduation from library school. New 
Mexico’s initial loss (he turned them down 
the first time) was my gain, and for almost



148

two years Pearce worked with me as assistant 
education, philosophy, and psychology librarian 
at the University of Illinois. He brought to that 
position many qualities which make a good 
reference librarian: inquisitive mind, outgoing 
personality, and a keen sense of helpfulness to 
faculty engaged in research. His academic 
background had also prepared him well for 
that position: both a bachelor’s and master’s 
degree in education from the University of 
Florida and a master’s degree in library science 
from the University of Illinois.

From Champaign-Urbana, Mr. Grove trans­
ferred to the Chicago undergraduate division 
of Illinois (now the Chicago Circle campus) 
as acquisitions and serials librarian. His brief 
stay at Chicago gave him broader experience 
and helped prepare him for the move to Colo­
rado Woman’s College at Denver as head li­
brarian, where he served from 1961 to 1965.

At Denver, as was true elsewhere, he had 
further opportunity to exercise his professional 
skill and aggressive leadership. Colorado 
Woman’s College was then beginning an accel­
erated acquisitions program and staff expansion 
as well as planning a new library building. 
Mr. Grove planned the building, saw its com­
pletion, and the library functioning well prior 
to his departure for Manhattan, Kansas, in 
1965. The C.W.C. building is both attractive 
and serviceable, reflecting his strongly held 
concept of the library as a learning resources 
center for the total educational program of 
the college.

While in Denver he also became active in 
the Colorado Library Association and was one 
of the sparkplugs behind the publication of 
Colorado Academic Libraries. His interest in 
and support of professional associations sug­
gest that his services will immediately be called 
upon by his colleagues in the Southwest.

For the past two years he has been engaged 
in revamping and reorganizing the public ser­
vice departments and in establishing an audio­
visual department in the library at Kansas 
State. In addition to his professional interests, 
Mr. Grove is active in the U.S. Naval Reserve 
and a variety of social, church, and community 
activities. Eastern New Mexico is certainly 
fortunate to have secured Pearce Grove as 
its library director at this particular stage 
in Mr. Grove’s professional development.— 
Edward G. Holley.
