SPEC Kit 31 on Allocation of Resources in Academic Libraries contains the results of a recent survey of sev enty Association of Research Library (A R L ) members. Research libraries are implementing a variety of strategies to cope with stabilized budgets, from soliciting the political support of users to making selective budget cuts. The li brary collections seem to be suffering particu larly, with serials as prime targets for cuts. Prefaced by a two-page general discussion of the topic, the kit includes ten documents from member libraries dealing with: “ The Im pact of No-Growth Budgets,” “ Implementing Budget Cuts,” “ Procedures for Resource Allo cation,” and “ External Fund-Raising.” SPEC Flyer and Kit 32 on Preparation and Presentation of the Library Budget reports that many research libraries are trying new ap proaches to the increasingly complex tasks of budget preparation and presentation. Most of the sixty-eight members of the Association of Research Libraries who responded to a recent survey use more than one budget format, and three-quarters of them ask an administrative council, department heads, or a representative committee to serve as consultants during bud get preparation. Prefaced by the two-page flyer that discusses general findings of the survey, the kit includes 215 fifteen documents totaling 150 pages. These documents, contributed b y ARL members, in clude samples o f budget process outlines, bud get instructions, budget committee materials, budget presentations, budget support data, and budget plans. Requests for SPEC Kits should be sent to: Office of University Library Management Stud ies, Association of Research Libraries, 1527 New Hampshire Ave., NW , Washington, DC 20036. Kits are $7.50 to SPEC members and subscribers, and $15.00 to others.

Huron St., Chicago, IL 60611. • For librarians who have been dismayed to receive massive and expensive microform publications without indexes to their contents, help is at hand. Finding Tools for Microform Publishing Projects: A Preliminary Union List identifies seventy-five microform publications for which the staff of twenty-four U.S. and Canadian research libraries have produced in dexes, analytic cards, or other guides to con tents. The New York Metropolitan Reference and Research Library Agency (M ETRO ) published the list after gathering the information for al most two years. Members of the Association of Research Libraries assisted in the search. Each entry in the 15-page paperback in cludes the name of the microform publisher (when known), the format and types of entries ‘ in the finding tool, and the name of the report ing library. The list has many cross-references, and, for thirteen of the titles, more than one in dex is identified. Information about possible purchase of any index can be requested from the library that produced it. William J. Myrick, Jr., associate librarian for administrative services, Brooklyn College Li brary, was editor of the list. Myrick writes in his introduction that without bibliographic ac cess, “ collections are underutilized and there fore give limited value for the large amounts of acquisition funds expended.” Myrick says he hopes the publication will lead to the duplica tion of the finding tools named in it and the creation of additional ones. Cost of the publication is $5 if a check ac companies the order and $10 if an invoice is re quired. Checks should be made out to METRO and orders sent to: METRO, 11 W. 40th St., New York, NY 10018. • The Western Region of the Committee of Small Magazine Editors and Publishers (COSMEP) is now distributing the broadside poetry and prose published by its members, free to all libraries that ask for them. Under the title Civil Sayings Project‚ COSMEP West will send a surprise package of broadside poetry and prose to libraries to build up a collection at no cost to the libraries concerned. The point of this project, as detailed by A. D. Winans, coordinator, and Noel Peattie, treasurer, of COSMEP West, is twofold: first, to introduce the poetic voice, the magical word, to libraries and library patrons; and second, to draw the attention of librarians to the period icals and books that the small presses of the na tion publish and sell. There is no way of telling how many publish ers will participate or what they will send. Hence librarians must be prepared for sur prises. This project has been made possible by a grant from the Coordinating Council of Lit erary Magazines, Ford Foundation Distribution Grant. 218 ing expenditures. The present inventory uses these measures and several others for which national data have been collected and for which a reasonably acceptable level of minimum ade quacy could be defined. The (input) re sources analyzed for the 1975 inventory were staffing, collections, acquisitions, space, and op erating expenditures; one measure of (output) service— hours of service— also was included. In addition, support staff were reported sepa rately for public libraries and public library school media centers. Indicators of need in quantitative terms for these dimensions of resources are defined for public libraries, school library media centers, and academic libraries, with two-year colleges considered separately. The indicators described in the study were not intended to be used or interpreted as evaluation criteria for individual libraries but rather as indexes to track the progress of the library establishment on a large scale. The indicators are partly derived from, and have a close relationship to, the traditional set of service standards that have been framed by professional associations and state agencies for some time. The study concludes that the library commu nity and its clientele have a strong obligation to counter the adverse trends of 1975-76 if progress toward more adequate library services is to be restored. To accelerate that progress, a concomitant obligation is to pursue aggres sively a comprehensive program of measures to provide good library service at the most eco nomic resource cost, including more centraliza tion of standardized services to achieve advan tages of economies of scale; use of new technol ogy; an increased emphasis on needs assessment and validation of service in terms of benefits to people; and increased attention to performance measures.
