Berkeley Main Library Subject Catalog. Although some of the material is aimed spe­ cifically at problems with the U.C. Berkeley catalog, the show should be useful for library schools elsewhere not only for classes but also as an aid for developing similar presentations for local situations. It consists of fifty-three slides and a fifteen- minute cassette designed to be played on any synchronized slide/tape equipment. The script is included so that the show may be viewed on nonsynchronized equipment. It currently is being shown on a Caramate slide/tape viewer in the reference room at the U.C. Berkeley Main Library and is used in li­ brary school and bibliography I classes. The show was made by librarians in General Reference Service and the Catalog Department and is for sale for $35 from Jean Hudson, Gen­ eral Reference Service, Main Library, Universi­ ty of California, Berkeley, CA 94720.

Bray. Bray’s research was conducted under the direc­ tion and supervision of the Hispanic Law Divi­ sion of the Law Library. T he bibliography is designed to aid research­ ers, primarily in the Congress and the academic community, in an in-depth examination of all facets of the treaty relationship between the United States and Panama governing control of the Panama Canal and the Panama Canal Zone. The centerpiece of that relationship is the Hay-Bunau Varilla Treaty, negotiated in 1903 and still in force with some modifications, un­ der which Panama receives annual payments from the United States in return for a grant to the latter of exclusive perpetual control of a zone extending five miles on each side of the waterway. The compiler is also the author of a book on the legal history and current legal status of the Panama Canal Zone, T h e C o m m o n L a w Z on e in P an am a, released this year, which was awarded a prize as an “excellent historical legal book” at the 1977 biennial convention of the Inter-American B ar Association. T h e C on troversy O ver a N ew C an al T reaty B e tw e e n t h e U nited S tates a n d P an am a is available by mail for $5 from the Superintend­ ent of Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, D C 2 0 4 0 2 ( Stock No. 030- 0 0 1 -0 0 0 7 4 -5 ), or in person from the Informa­ tion Counter, Library of Congress Building. • The University of Colorado’s Western Historical Collections has published A G u id e to M an uscript C o llec tio n s, compiled by Ellen Arguimbau and edited by John A. Brennan, curator. This book lists 4 80 holdings and in­ cludes a comprehensive twenty-six-page index. It measures nine-by-six inches and has a perma- bound soft cover with attractive front and back illustrations. I t is available for $5 (plus 5 0 ¢ postage and handling) from the University Bookstore, University of Colorado at Boulder, Boulder, CO 80309. • T he Library of Congress has reprinted C ivil W ar P h o to g ra p h s, 1 8 6 1 -1 8 6 5 , a guide to its extensive collections of photographic nega­ tives of views and portraits made by the nine- teenth-century American photographer Mathew B. Brady. The volume originally was printed in 1961 and was compiled by Library staff members Donald H. Mugridge and the late Hirst D. Milhollen. The 1,047 copy negatives listed have been carefully chosen to include the best and most interesting photographs of the categories into which the collection may be organized. The first theee parts of the catalog arrange the photographs according to the progress of the war in three different areas of the United States. But because the Brady camera was most at home in recording matériel—officers, men, and horses posed as if in a studio—there are only four views of the 7 2 3 in these three parts that can be described as scenes of battle. C iv il W ar P h oto g ra p h s, 1 8 6 1 -1 8 6 5 is avail­ able in person from the Information Counter on the ground floor of the Library of Congress Building, or by mail from the Library of Con­ gress, Photoduplication Service, Dept. C-33, Washington, D C 20540, for $1.50. Payment must accompany all mail orders. • Acquisitions librarians, reference staff, un­ dergraduate students, and advanced research­ ers will find valuable information about ex­ pensive research materials in a new supplement published by the New York Metropolitan Reference and Research Library Agency (M E T R O ).
