lowing plan of action. First, to set limitations on 
th e kinds of books to be suggested; second, to 
canvass th e membership for titles; third, to com­
pile a list of the results and arrange for its dis­
tribution to interested publishers and to the 
membership.

The following criteria were established for 
titles to be submitted.
1) books should not be dependent wholly on 

illustrations which might reproduce poorly;
2 ) the copyright should have expired;
3 ) the books should be of scholarly appeal 

( i.e., monographs, source books, e tc .);
4 ) long runs would not be eligible; a volume 

or two or a periodical might be acceptable, 
b ut not a lengthy run.

In  general, the type of material to b e con­
sidered was to include early guide books, cata­
logues of holdings of cities and museums, early 
catalogues raisonnes, sales catalogues of historic 
firms, diaries and biographies by artists and 
their contemporaries which referred directly to 
th e art life of the times, and early books and 
monographs on the theory of art.

The present committee plans to bring the fol­
lowing list to the direct attention of the editors 
of art reprint publishers and microfilm firms.—

JCL ACADEMIC 
YEAR INSTITUTE

Recruitment assistance is being sought by 
Appalachian State University to find partici­
pants for the academic year institute for Junior 
College Librarians which has been funded un­
der Title IIB, HEA. Designed to develop 
twenty new professionals with strength in the 
Learning Resource concept and familiarize 
them with the philosophy of the community 
junior college, the session will run from Sep­
tember 1969-July 1970. The program leads to 
the M.A. degree in Library Science. Applicants 
must hold a bachelor’s degree and have com­
pleted at least nine quarter hours (six semester 
hours) of basic undergraduate work in Li­
brary Science. The stipend for each participant 
will be $75 a week plus $15 a week for each 
dependent. Most fees will be paid from the 
grant. Applications for admission must be on 
file by June 1, 1969.

In the summer of 1970, twenty additional 
participants will join the group. Only full-time 
community junior college librarians are eligible 
to apply for this phase of the institute, during 
which a series of “mini-courses” designed to 
familiarize students with current trends and 
practices in automation, multimedia utilizations, 
and management techniques will be presented 
by visiting lecturers and the Appalachian staff. 
Stipends are the same as for the earlier part 
of the program. Applications for admission to 
this portion must be on file by June 1, 1970.

ABPC/RTSD
PRECONFERENCE

“New Dimensions in Acquisitions” will be 
the theme of a 21á day Institute June 19 
through June 21, 1969, to be held prior to the 
annual conference of ALA in Atlantic City. 
The Sponsors of this Institute is the American 
Book Publishers Council and the Resources 
and Technical Services Division Joint Com­
mittee of the American Library Association.

Innovative approaches to the solutions of 
library acquisition problems will be empha­
sized through both traditional print material 
and the newer non-print materials. Among tra­
ditional problems covered in the Institute ses­
sions will be the out-of-print market, periodical 
subscriptions, gifts and exchanges, and the 
purchase of paperbacks. Newly emerging 
techniques for purchasing, such as advance 
copy plans, blanket orders, and centralized 
acquisitions will be presented along with mod­
em acquisition techniques using computer 
processing, the standard book number, and 
other aspects of scientific management.

The opening address will be by James C. 
Worthy of the management consultant firm of 
Cresap, McCormick and Paget. Mr. Worthy’s 
topic will be “Scientific Management” stress­
ing the need for efficient and economical pro­
cedures, research experimentation, and test­
ing of acquisitions systems. Mrs. Elizabeth 
Rodell of Rice University, for seven years 
executive secretary of the Resources and Tech­
nical Services Division, will be the banquet 
speaker. Her topic “Performance Goals for the 
Acquisitions Process.”

To register, send name and address, with or 
without the official application blank, with the 
registration fee of $41.00, to ABPC-RTSD 
Preconference Institute, American Library As­
sociation, 50 East Huron Street, Chicago, Il­
linois 60611. Please make checks payable to 
the American Library Association. The Insti­
tute is limited to 500 attendees.

The Institute will be held in the Dennis 
Hotel, Atlantic City. For hotel reservations, use

Bulletin. Room reservations will be honored 
in the block space only until May 1. Request 
housing in the Lombardy, Mt. Royal or Tray- 
more hotels where space is being reserved for 
attendees at this institute. Include the state­
ment that you will be attending the ABPC-
