The future of West European area studies and 
North American research libraries will be the

planned for May, 1983, at the University of Min­
nesota. Outlines for possible papers are invited 
on th e  following topics: th e p ro d u ctio n  and 
transmission of knowledge in and about Western 
Europe (including trends in European publishing, 
collecting patterns and national policies, and al­
ternative formats of publication); and th e de­
velopment of West European area studies as a 
discipline (including an analysis of researchers’ 
needs and librarians’ responses during a period of 
fiscal restraint).

Thematic, comparative, regional, or nation- 
specific approaches are welcomed. A prospectus 
of no more than th re e  pages do u b le-sp aced  
should be submitted in duplicate by January 15,
