ACRL News Issue (B) of College & Research Libraries


Faculty Problems and Their Solutions.4 The re
port is reputed to be sharply critical of som
aspects of the government’s affirmative actio
efforts.

The Lester report would seem to be usefu
reading for librarians and library educators wh
should be carefully studying the propose
HEW regulation. The government is activel
seeking suggestions or objections to the pro
posed rules. Comments should be sent befor
October 15 to: Peter Holmes, Director, Offic
for Civil Rights, Department of Health, Educa
tion, and Welfare, P.O. Box 2974, Washington
DC 20013.

In addition, copies of comments would b
appreciated by ALA’s Washington Office.

Requests for Standards 
Working Papers

Due to a clerical error shortly after the 
New York Conference, copies of the 1959 
Standards for College Libraries were sent 
to persons who had requested, instead, 
the background/working papers of the 
committee which is revising the 1959 
standards. The ACRL office asks that 
persons who were affected by this error 
resubmit their requests. Copies of the 
papers will be sent upon receipt of the 
new request.

ALA Goals Award 
to Standards Project

The Association of College and Research Li­
braries has been awarded a J. Morris Jones— 
World Book Encyclopedia—ALA Goals Award 
for 1974/75 by the Executive Board of the 
American Library Association. The award will 
fund Phase II of ACRL’s project to revise the 
1959 Standards for College Libraries.

Phase I of the project to revise the college 
library standards, which was supported in 
1973/74 by a J. Morris Jones—World Book 
Encyclopedia—ALA Goals Award, was aimed 
at defining the goals of the standards and the 
assumptions upon which standards are based. 
Phase II of the project will enable the members 
of the committee preparing the revision to dis­
cuss the revision with leaders of regional and 
national organizations in postsecondary educa­
tion.

The committee is chaired by Johnnie Givens, 
librarian at Austin Peay State University, in 
Clarksville, Tennessee. The project director is 
David Kaser, professor at the Graduate Library 
School at the University of Indiana. Other 
members of the committee are: Arthur Monke, 
ibrarian at Bowdoin College; David L. Perkins, 

head bibliographic librarian at California State 
University, Northridge; James W. Pirie, librari­
an at Lewis & Clark College; Herman L. Tot­
en, dean of the School of Librarianship at the 
University of Oregon; and Jasper G. Schad, di­
ector of libraries at Wichita State University, 

ex officio.
