Eighth Class of CLR Fellows Selected
Sixteen outstanding midcareer librarians have 

been selected as Council on Library Resources 
(C L R ) fellows for the academic year 1976-77. 
Each fellow will spend three months or more 
pursuing a self-developed study project, aimed 
at improving his or her competence in the sub­
stantive, administrative, or technical aspects of 
librarianship.

The new fellows will examine such diverse 
topics as the functions of children’s rooms in 
metropolitan libraries, the UNESCO depository 
system, government documents collections in 
community college libraries, Japan’s library re­
sources on the People’s Republic of China, li­
brary development programs of state boards of 
higher education, the open university concept, 
and the role of locally generated title deriva­
tive indexing. Among the fellows, who must be 
either U.S. or Canadian citizens (or have per­
manent resident status in either country), is a 
librarian currently working in Paris.

In addition to the requirement concerning 
citizenship, to receive an award applicants must 
be librarians or other professionals working di­
rectly with libraries. Their employers must be 
willing to provide them with a period of con­
tinuous leave of not less than three months in 
which to carry out the proposed program. Al­
though the awards do not cover salary, the 
council does pay for approved travel, supplies, 
and services directly related to the proposed 
program. Approximately 180 librarians have 
benefited from the fellowship program since it 
began in 1968.

In order to help with the evaluation of fel­
lowship applications, the council solicits the 
participation of a number of eminent librarians. 
First, a screening committee reviews the ap­
plications, which numbered thirty-six for the 
current program, and makes recommendations 
to the final selection committee. For this year’s 
screening committee, the council drew on the 
expertise of Mary E. Coming, assistant director 
for international programs, National Library of 
Medicine; Charles D. Churchwell, university

librarian, Brown University; F. Kurt Cylke, 
chief, Division for the Blind and Physically 
Handicapped, Library of Congress; Augusta 
Baker, retired coordinator of children’s services, 
New York Public Library; Joan I. Gotwals, as­
sociate director of libraries, University of Penn­
sylvania; and Foster E. Mohrhardt, retired CLR 
senior program officer.

Final selections were made by the council’s 
Fellowship Committee, chaired by Louis B. 
Wright, director emeritus of the Folger Shake­
speare Library, and composed of CLR board 
members: Page Ackerman, university librarian, 
University of California, Los Angeles; William 
S. Dix, CLR consultant and retired university 
librarian, Princeton; Robert Vosper, professor 
of library science, University of California, Los
