S a r t a i n , head of the Research Facilities Section of the Library of Congress, re­ tired on March 15 after more than 35 years of service with LC. He began in 1947 as deck at­ tendant and worked his way up to his most re­ cent position in February, 1981. B e s s i e A . St e i n , library director of the Medical College of Wisconsin, Milwaukee, resigned her position on April 30 after 27 years with MCW. She had served as library director since 1975.

K e b a b i a n , director of libraries at the University of Vermont since 1966, will retire on July 31. His many accomplishments include par­ ticipation in the group of six New England state university library d irectors who sought ways of cooperation which led eventually to the formation of N E L IN E T , m em ­ bership in many ALA com m ittees including the Catalog Code Revi­ sion C om m ittee for AACR I and II, active involvement in planning Paul B . K ebabian and overseeing a major addition to the Univer­ sity of Vermont Library building (completed in 1980), and scholarly contributions in library science p e r s o n n e l s t u d y g r o u p ACRL has had a long-standing and major con­ cern for academic status and other personnel is­ sues. Together with ACRL, the American Library Association has designated personnel resources as one of its top five priorities— a goal with em­ phasis on the promotion of professional develop­ ment, rights, interests, and obligations of library personnel. However, within ACRL there may have been a lack of comprehensiveness and cohe­ sion in the program approach to this broad con­ cern. Certain aspects have been covered by one or another committee or discussion group, yet the total impact of ACRL’s efforts in this area has been unclear. There may well be inadequate at­ tention paid to the variety of personnel and career issues that should be pursued. To the end of re-evaluating, clarifying, and re­ focusing a com prehensive set of efforts, the ACRL Executive Committee has created an Ad Hoc Academic and Research Library Personnel Study Group. This has been reported to the Board for their comment and information, and subsequently the committee membership has been formed as listed below. There will be con­ sultation with related groups both inside and out­ side ALA to help with this effort. A sound rede­ fined program in this important area will assist literature and in the history of American woodworking tools. His book, Am erican W ood­ working Tools (New York Graphic Society, 1978) is a definitive work on the subject. He has also been active in the Early American Industries As­ sociation, serving as its president from 1973 to 1976. Kebabian earned his bachelors degree from Yale in 1938, and his MLS from Columbia in 1948. He began his professional career at the Yale University Library , held the position of chief cataloger and other responsible positions in the Preparation Division of the New York Public Li­ brary from 1948 to 1963, and served as associate director of libraries at the University of Florida from 1963 to 1966. During 1961-1962 he held a Ford Foundation appointment as program specialist in libraiy de­ velopment at the University of Baghdad. He was a long time member of the Rite of the Red Dog, an extremely unofficial ALA discussion group.— Suzanne Massonneau. DEATH A i l e e n P r o p e s , formerly head cataloger at California State University, Long Beach, died on April 24 after an extended illness. ■■ ACRL and all those who work in academic and research libraries. The charge to this study group is as follows: To fu rther the special in terests of ACRL through efforts to assess the adequacy of current programs and committee activities in the light of present goals, objectives and priorities; to suggest to the ACRL Board of Directors by January, 1984, any initiatives needed so as to assure a suitably comprehensive program; to coordinate within ALA as seems useful, and thus to advance efforts in recruiting, professional education, coun­ seling, career development, status and perquis­ ites, and similar aspects of staffing, careers, and personnel administration in academic and re ­ search librarianship. This study group is chaired by Page Ackerman and includes D. Kaye Gapen, dean of libraries, University of Alabama (from the ACRL Academic Status Committee); George M.

The system has been fìeld-tested at 30 libraries and is now fully opera­ tional. L IB R IS II features: pre-order online searching; electronic ordering; complete record editing and updating; open order control and du­ plicate order checking; fund accounting; auto­ matic receiving; and management reports. It also provides access and interface with all Baker & Taylor distribution centers. Central to the system is a database of approximately 600,000 title rec­ ords, including current LC cataloging data. For more information, contact Baker & Taylor, 1515 Broadway, New York, NY 10036. • B a t t e l l e , Columbus, Ohio, now offers a screen-oriented data entry and editing feature on its BASIS Data Management System. The new capability (called SCREEN) can be used to record information for library catalogs using formatted terminal screens. SC R E E N requires no pro­ gramming effort because each screen is defined in the BASIS data definition language. It can be used with D EC VT100 and VT52 and HP2600 terminals, and soon will be available for IBM 3101 and 3270 terminals. • M achine-M ediated Learning is a new quar­ terly journal that will be published by Crane, Russak & Company, beginning in September. Its major focus will be on the scientific, technologi­ cal, and management aspects of the application of machines to instruction and training. Subscrip­ tions will be $86 annually for institutions and $45 for individuals, plus postage and handling. • M a x w e l l L i b r a r y S y s t e m s , Cam bridge, Massachusetts, has developed software that ena­ bles the Radio Shack TRS80 computer to be used as a terminal for access to OCLC. The software uses translation tables to perm it the T R S80 keyboard to perform all the special commands required for access to OCLC. Information found in the database can be transferred to the mi­ crocomputer’s memory and saved on floppy or hard disks for later use.
