A W A R D S , G R A N T S • The National Science F oundation has awarded a grant of $60,723 for eighteen months to three university libraries for the purpose of initiating a cooperative project in the area of library systems development. The three university libraries are Columbia Uni versity, The University of Chicago, and Stan ford University. Each of th e libraries is at present engaged in major library systems analyses and in the application of computer technology to the improvement of essential library operations and services under grants from the federal government. Grants to Chi cago and Columbia are from the National Science Foundation and Stanford’s from the U.S. Office of Education. The prim ary ob jectives of the NSF grant are: ( 1 ) to facili tate exchange of working data, information and ideas among the participating institutions; (2 ) to provide the means for developing systems of general applicability; (3 ) to provide more systematic liaison with agencies working on the national level; (4 ) to improve communica tions of research results between participants of this cooperative program and the library community generally. • The Council on Library Resources has m ade a grant of $33,537 to the Library of Congress for a pilot project to develop procedures for automated controls for single sheet maps in the collections of th e geography and map division. The procedures to be developed will utilize computer technology by recording such de scriptive information as the full map title, call number, and dimensions of the map sheet, on magnetic tape. The structure of th e form at to be used will be the library’s MARC II format. Initially, the project for machine-readable cata loging data for single-sheet maps will be con cerned w ith current acquisitions only—some thirty-five to forty thousand maps a year. In developing automated procedures, the geogra phy and m ap division will coordinate its efforts w ith governmental, public and research libraries which have m ap collections, so that the system and techniques may be useful to other map libraries as well as to the Library of Congress. The project will b e administered in the geography and map division’s proc essing section, headed by J. Douglas Hill, in cooperation w ith the library’s information systems office. David K. Carrington, formerly librarian for th e office of geography at the D epartm ent of the Interior, has joined the geography and m ap division staff at the Library of Congress to serve as coordinator for th e project. Mrs. Viola Scandrett, computer systems analyst in the information systems of fice, is providing technical assistance. B U I L D I N G S • Construction of a five-story, $1.6 million annex to the library of the University of Cali fornia began in Irvine early in April.

Yet many o f these titles—usually those o f a specialized nature—are o f enduring value to libraries, scholars, students, or to the pro fessions. With the advent of microfilm and reprint firms, and other reproduc tion services, many o f these specialized books are becoming accessible, but not always in a convenient format or at a price acceptable to those requiring the materials. Recognizing this need, the University o f California Press is launching a new series o f small-edition, cloth reprints that will reproduce the original work in its entirety, and in a format as close to the original as possible. The first group bearing the California Library Reprint Series imprint comprises seven titles.

M I S C E L L A N Y • The Committee to Investigate Copy right Problems, 2233 Wisconsin Ave. N.W., Washington, D.C. 20007, has just completed the first factual report on the amount of and the kinds of copyrighted materials copied by U.S. libraries. The study was supported by the U.S. Office of Education, Bureau of Research. Copyright law gives the author the exclusive right “to print, reprint, publish, copy and sell” his copyrighted work. The court-devel oped exception to this exclusive right is “fair use.” Current library copying practices are based on the belief that these practices are sanctioned under law. The study examines w hat th e courts have actually decided. The study is timely and of particular sig nificance because of pending copyright legisla tion—HR 2412/S 597 passed by the House of Representatives April 12, 1967, and S 2216, the Senate-passed bill which proposes a Na tional Commission on New Technological Uses of Copyrighted Works. T he report is available at a cost of $10.00 per copy. Remittance should accompany purchase order. • The first planning conference on auto m ated indexing for archives and manuscripts was held under the auspices of the National Archives and Records Service of the General Services Administration on March 25.

The first reference work of its kind in over thirty years, it brings the full scope of modem social science to your library. The original Encyclopaedia of the Social Sciences was published by The Macmillan C o m p an y in 1937. In ste a d of m erely “bringing it up-to-date,” we felt that a totally new encyclopedia was called for— one which would reflect the far-reaching progress being made by current social science. Now, after an investment of more than seven years and two million dollars, the International Encyclopedia o f the Social Sciences is ready. This monumental work covers the full range of contemporary social science: an thropology, economics, geography, his tory, law, political science, psychiatry, sociology — and statistics, the tool of the social scientist. Every article is written with unusual clarity. But sophisticated concepts have not been oversimplified. And the ency clopedia is liberally cross-referenced and indexed to be of maximum use to students, social scientists — and laymen in other fields. The authority of the work is unques tionable. The list of over 1,600 contribu tors — as well as the editorial board — reads like a virtual “Who’s Who” of dis tinguished social scientists throughout the world. No viewpoint of any importance has been overlooked. Send for our free prospectus today.

The program, dubbed SPINDEX for Selective Permutation Indexing, is being writ ten in the National Archives by a staff sup ported by the grant from the Council. I t is designated to meet the requirements of the major manuscript repositories in the country. The ten co-operating institutions (the Universi ty of Alaska representative could not attend the meeting) have agreed to advise the Na tional Archives staff on a desired format. When the National Archives staff has devised a draft program, the cooperating institutions will test it in order to assess its applicability to local procedures. When the program has been writ ten, tested and proven feasible, it will be described in a publication about the project. The program will then be available to any archives or manuscript repository that wishes to use it.

They are: Sister Mary Chrysantha, librarian, Felician College library; Alex Ladenson, acting librarian, Chi cago public library; Miriam Peterson, director, division of libraries, Chicago Board of Edu cation; Anne C. Roess, supervisor, library serv ices, Institute of Gas Technology; Fritz Veit, director of libraries, Wilson Campus and Chi cago State College; and Helen Yast, librarian, American Hospital Association. • The British National Bibliography has awarded a contract to Indata Limited to set up a computer system to produce regularly on magnetic tape full bibliographic records of the current output of British publishers. The system design will be compatible with the U.S. Library of Congress Project MARC. The BNB MARC Record will follow the agreed U.S. MARC II file structure with appropriate additions for British usage. Local institutions could take this tape, add local data and use it in their own systems. The BNB MARC project was made possible by a grant from the Office for Scientific and Technical Information (OSTI) of the Department of Education and Science. The OSTI grant covers a period of one year and Indata systems analysis and pro gramming are expected to be completed in about six months, followed by a running-in period to test the acceptability of the system. All British publications will be recorded by the BNB on paper tape and forwarded to Indata for validation and creation of a weekly MARC catalog. In addition to the magnetic tape record, Indata will provide diagnostic listings of errors, amendments, and deletions affecting the weekly input or the permanent BNB catalog. The system will also be designed to print a BNB index, in coded standard book- number sequence, and a title index, in alpha betical sequence, of all BNB records added to the catalog each week. P U B L IC A T IO N S • A supplement to Continuing Education for Librarians, a listing for 1968-69 of work shops, conferences, seminars and short courses in librarianship has been compiled and pro duced by the Office for Library Education of ALA.
