ACRL News Issue (B) of College & Research Libraries 398 C. Resource materials for teaching library skills and for learning bibliographic instruction methods should be collected, critically evaluated and made available on a selective basis. 1. Materials for use in teaching librarians how to do bibliographic instruction (such as textbooks, course outlines, etc.) should be published. 2. A collection of model exercises and other teaching materials should be maintained. 3. A means should be devised by which mate rials collected and/or published are evaluated and those evaluations shared with librarians utilizing the materials. D. An ongoing review should be conducted of the research literature within library/information science and in other academic disciplines having implications for bibliographic instruction (e.g., in scholarly communication, economics of publish ing, learning theory). This information should be disseminated to instruction practitioners.

Bring in a Friend Dear ACRL Member: The ACRL Board recently proposed that each ACRL member bring in at least one new member to the Association. The form below is designed for your convenience in listing the name and address of one or more librarians you know who have an interest in academic or research libraries but who are not ACRL members. Your help in completing this form will assist the Association in contacting persons who can benefit from what ACRL has to offer. As a result, ACRL can continue to serve a growing organization and can become an even stronger influence in academic libraries. ACRL appreciates your thoughtfulness. 401 M em ber-at-Large (one-year term): Anna H.

The View from HQ Hal Espo ACRL Deputy Executive Director Editors Note: Written in response to membership requests, this column features news fro m ACRL headquarters and discusses features o f the office’s operations. We have all had similar experiences. One finds oneself at a party and someone asks what you do for a living. In the past I have easily replied that I was a librarian, and though m ost people conjure up the stereo typical images of librar- ianship, at least they knew something about what I did at a refer ence desk or occasional ly in classroom instruc tion. I am still a librar ian by train in g of course, yet what I do as the d ep u t executive director of a national li Hal Espo brary association has very little in common with what most librarians do and how they were irained in library school. I have discovered that not only do my friends not know what I do on a daily basis, but more importantly many if not most of the ACRL membership does not know what role I play within ACRL. With the oppor tunity to tell my story, I hope the membership will have a g reater appreciation for the size, complexity and scope of the Association. Since I arrived at ACRL in May, 1978, the As sociation has grown in responsibilities, programs, budget, and staff. The position of deputy execu tive director is of a managerial nature in assisting the direction of the headquarters office. Perhaps the best way to describe some of what it is that I do each day is to review my programmatic and administrative responsibilities and to briefly out line what these entail. 1) S upport of ACRL com m ittees, sections, ch ap ters, discussion groups, editorial boards, and the Board of Directors. A major responsibil ity of any administrative position is to make cer tain that the structure of the organization is main tained sufficiently so that the people who are re sponsible for programs will be able to function adequately. In order to provide proper support to various ACRL u n its, we have d ev elo p ed a monthly calendar file. Through the approximately 150 mailings in the file the headquarters office keeps in touch with various unit chairs about ACRL’s seemingly endless organizational detail. To further explain, listed below is the description of what is listed in a single month (May) of the file: 1) reports which have been submitted to head quarters by section and com m ittee chairs are prepared for distribution at annual conference; 2) ACRL Guide to Procedures and Policies is updated and distributed to all officers and ACRL unit chairs; 3) an announcem ent of th e recipient of the ACRL Academic or Research Librarian of the Year Award is prepared for C&RL News and dis tributed to the national library news media; 4) a mailing is sent to section and division elec tion candidates informing them of the election schedule and their responsibilities should they be victorious; 5) thank you letters are sent to all ACRL com mittee members whose terms have expired fol lowing annual conference; 6) all ACRL units are notified of the budget and board orientation meetings at annual confer ence to assist them in becoming accustomed to how ACRL operates; 7) notice of the annual conference board meet ing is sent to all ACRL units with information on how to place items on the board agenda; 8) annual conference board agenda and support materials are sent to board members and section chairs; 9) the Speakers Bureau is prepared and dis tributed to chapters; 10) file folders are prepared for the upcoming program year (250 files); 11) midwinter board meetings are scheduled by the ACRL President; 12) signs for annual conference program and board meetings are prepared; 13) information on the spring activities of ACRL chapters is solicited; 14) discussion group chairs are rem inded to submit incoming officers’ names for inclusion in next year’s ALA Handbook o f Organization; 15) next year’s ACRL Academic or Research Li brarian of the Year nomination form is prepared
