As a result, ACRL aided the Franco-American Commission for E d u cational Exchange by finding placements for two librarians in U.S. academic libraries for this school year. On Oc­ tober 17 Marie-Françoise Bois, section chief of the Medical Library at the University of L i­ moges, arrived to work at the Houston Acad­ emy of Medicine-Texas Medical Center L i­ brary. Her host for the year is librarian Richard Lyders. In January, François Lapélerie, head of the Science Library at the University of Aix- Marseilles, will arrive to work at the Rice Uni­ versity Library in Houston. His host for the year will be James C. Thompson, associate univer­ sity librarian. Because the request this year was made on short n o tice, true exchanges w ere not arranged—that is, librarians from the U.S. are not going to France to take the place of visiting French librarians. However, it is planned that next year several American librarians will ex­ change jobs with French academic librarians. For the 1984-85 school year, the French gov­ ernment will choose two or three librarians to send to the U.S. ACRL will then find librarians with the same subject specialty who speak French and whose libraries are willing to agree to an exchange of staff. The French librarians will be coming from university libraries and will be middle management staff or above. U .S. librarians applying for this program should be from university or large college li­ braries, have at least five years professional ex­ perience, and be U.S. citizens. The Fulbright Commission will pay the travel expenses of both French and U.S. librarians. The French gov­ ernment will pay the salaries of the French li­ brarians and the U.S. librarians will need to have their salaries paid by their home institu­ tions. ACRL will know whom the French have se­ lected to send to the U.S. by March 1984, and we will then look for librarians who have the same specialty and meet the criteria outlined above. If the French, for example, want to send another medical librarian and an African Stud­ ies librarian, we will be looking for experienced people in those fields who speak French and whose libraries are willing to exchange staff. We are now trying to build a file of librarians who are interested in being considered for this program . Interested French-speaking a ca ­ demic librarians should investigate the possibil­ ity of exchange with their employers and, if they get tentative approval from their own in­ stitutions, should send their names and curricu­ lum vitae to Sandy Whiteley at the ACRL of­ fice. In March we will contact those librarians and try to arrange exchanges for September 1984.—Sandy Whiteley, ACRL/ALA, 50 E. Huron St., Chicago, IL 60611.

M etca lf was one of the first recip ients of A C R L ’s A cadem ic or Reserach Librarian of the Year award in 1978 and served as ALA Presi­ dent in 1942-1943. His lifelong commitment to his profession is summed up in the most recent edition of Who ’s Who in America: “I was fortu­ nate enough to decide Keyes D . M etcalf my profession (Librari­ anship) in 1905 and have never regretted it and am still active in it 75 years later, consulting, traveling, and speaking, and publishing.” Recognition of his library building consulting came in 1976 at ALA’s centennial conference in Chicago when the Library Administration Divi­ sion cited him for having made outstanding contri­ butions to building planning. Responsible for the Lamont and Houghton libraries at Harvard as well as the New England Deposit L ibrary, M etcalf wrote what is still the definitive book for academic library buildings, Planning A cadem ic and R e­ search Library Buildings (1965). He was also au­ thor of Library Lighting (1970) and, most recently, Random Recollections o f an Anachronism (1980). Metcalf filled consultant assignments for over 600 institutions including those in Australia, India, South Africa, Ireland, Japan, Canada, Costa Rica, G reat B ritain, Venezuela, Abu D habi, Libya, Saudi Arabia, and Iran. He was a consultant on the National Capital Development Commission in Canberra in 1961-1968 and Fulbright lecturer to Australia in 1958-1959. Also as a consultant he wrote major reports for the library schools of Illinois and Columbia in the 1940s. His numerous articles and reports have added substantially to our understanding of aca­ demic libraries. In 1959 E .E . Williams compiled a bibliography of M etcalf s writings during the pe­ riod when he was director at Harvard. Upon the occasion of his retirement from Har­ vard in 1955 Metcalf wrote a report on the Pros­ pects and Problems o f the Harvard University L i­ braries which was widely studied by academic librarians. His famous seminar at Rutgers in the late 1950s included many people who later became library directors at major universities. From humble beginnings as student assistant at Oberlin College Library, he rose to become acting librarian in 1916-1917. His next assignments were at the New York Public Library, where he was con­ secutively chief of the stacks (1913-1918), execu­ tive assistant (1919-1927), and chief of the Refer­ ence Department (1928-1937). Besides 12 honorary doctorates, Metcalf held a bachelor’s degree in history from Oberlin College and a certificate and diploma from the Library School of the New York Public Library granted in 1914. He served as vice-president of the American Antiquarian Society and as trustee to the Belmont Public Library, the Boston Athenaeum, and Rad- cliffe College. In the July 1976 issue of C&RL, David Weber described Metcalf: “I believe his greatest contribu­ tions were those in personal development and co­ operative programs. To both of these broad areas he brought special wisdom, particularly with re­ spect to staff development and training.” ■ ■ C O N F E R E N C E ON IN T E G R A T E D SYSTEM S The first national Conference on Integrated On­ line Library Systems held September 26-27, 1983, in Columbus, Ohio, provided the 253 registrants from 39 states, Canada, and three overseas coun­ tries with an intensive review of the state-of-the-art of integrated library systems. The structure of the conference paralleled the process of planning for and obtaining such a sys­ tem. Plenary sessions featuring many library con­ sultants (Richard Boss and Rob McGee, among others) and developers of systems (John McGowan from Northwestern University and Vinod Chachra from Virginia Polytechnic) surveyed the available systems, outlined technical administrative princi­ ples and the steps involved in selecting a system, and gave a glimpse of future developments (Law­ rence Woods, University of Notre Dame). Fred Glazer of the West Virginia Library Com­ mission offered suggestions for obtaining support for a state-wide multi-type library system, and Pat Barkalow (Pasadena Public Library) provided some insight into the impact of integrated library systems on multi-jurisdictional libraries in consor­ tia. The sessions were augmented by contributed pa­ pers by practitioners from many types of libraries, among them Richard Meyer (Clemson University) on “System Evaluation as an Alternative to the R F P ,” and Edward Garten (Tennessee Technolog­ ical University) on “Using a Microcomputer within the LAMBDA Catalog System.” Procedures for obtaining the proceedings of this conference and details on the next conference scheduled for October 1984 are available from Genaway & Associates, Inc., P.O .
