Letters dated January 1, announcing the 
1972 Title II-A Library Resources Program 
were sent to the presidents of all institutions 
listed in the Educational Directory: H igher 
Education  1970-71. The application materi­
als, dated January 15, were addressed to the 
librarians of these approximately 2,600 institu­
tions. Both mailings were made by the end of 
December.

The Grant Application and Instructions are 
packaged in beige covers and will be ad­
dressed simply “Librarian,” followed by the 
name and address of the institution. It is hoped 
that the confusion of last year s program, when 
applications were sent to the presidents, with 
only letters to the librarians, will be avoided. 
The application is to be submitted by March 1 
or earlier. Because of stringent economies this 
year the extra assistance usually available to

process and evaluate this huge mass of material 
will not be called in. Therefore, the staff will 
appreciate early submissions to expedite han­
dling.

The level of funding for the program, $11 
million, is higher than 1971s $9,900,000. Except 
for the applications for basic grants to new in­
stitutions, only those with high scores on the 
criteria for supplemental grants will be eligible 
for a basic grant. Only those institutions achiev­
ing scores of 21 or more on their supplemental 
applications were awarded basic and supple­
mental grants in 1971. It is hoped that the 
slightly larger appropriation and changed cri­
teria for this year’s program will make pos­
sible the funding of more than last year’s 531 
awards, possibly on scores of a few points less 
than 21.

In the criteria for special purpose grants a 
new emphasis has been placed on an institu­
tion’s involvement in the preparation of grad­
uate students for leadership roles among eco­
nomically disadvantaged or minority groups. 
The application form for Types A and B spe­
cial purpose grants has been combined with 
that for Type C in order to avoid the repetition 
of data required in forms of previous years. ■ ■

News From the Field

• The U n iv er sit y o f V ic to r ia  library will 
receive a 2,500-volume personal library as a 
British Columbia Centennial gift from a noted 
Icelandic expert and his wife. Dr. Richard 
Beck and Mrs. Beck of Victoria will present 
their library of Icelandic and Scandinavian 
books to the university in memory of their 
pioneer parents.

The library, representing one of the largest 
personal collections of its kind in North Amer­
ica, will come to the university over a number 
of years. It consists of volumes covering clas­
sical Old Icelandic literature, nineteenth-cen­
tury prose and poetry, and cultural and gen­
eral histories of Iceland. Scandinavian authors 
and history books are included.

• The U n iv er sit y  o f Hawai i  library has 
recently purchased with the help of Friends of 
the Library of Hawaii, the Charles M. and 
Anna C. Cooke Trust, and other patrons, over 
1,500 distinguished books from the library of 
the late Ethelinda Castle. Editions of Don 
Quixote including the first English translation 
by Shelton (1 6 1 2 -1 6 2 0 ) and a number of fa­
mous illustrated copies including the unusual 
stencilled Japanese one by Keisuke Serizawa

(1 9 3 6 ) were acquired. Nineteenth-century lit­
erature is represented by such authors as Mel­
ville, Hewlett, Lang, and Ruskin, and the 
twentieth century by D. H. Lawrence, Som­
erset Maugham, and William Beebe. There are 
famous books such as the first edition of John­
son’s Dictionary‚ and Spenser’s T h e  F airie 
Q ueene. There are representative works from 
famous presses such as Aldine and Baskerville. 
Mrs. Castle’s unusual interest in fine books is 
represented by many editions from well-known 
private presses and book clubs as well as works 
beautifully illustrated by contemporary artists, 
many of special interest to children’s literature. 
Her interests in gardening, art and architec­
ture, and travel have resulted in the acquisition 
of many volumes which will enrich the uni­
versity’s collection of rare books. A well-select­
ed group of reference and bibliographic tools 
is also included.

received from Mr. Albert S. Cummins of Med­
 ford, Oregon a collection of literary and his­

torical books ranging from sets of Moliere to 
Jules Verne and Conan Doyle through histories 
of American business companies and the 
Chronicles o f  America. Many of the literary 
volumes are bound in unusually handsome 
binding that will be retained in the special col­
lections area as examples of fine bindings. The 
bindings include works of Sangerski and Sut­
cliffe, Bennett of New York, and Monastery 
Hill. The most important part of the collection 
is four large volumes of broadsides and mis­
cellaneous material on Lincolnshire, England. 
Altogether there are over 900 items loosely 
bound together in the 1860s that include ap­
proximately 500 broadsides relating to theatre, 
politics, auctions, and social and religious mat­
ters from the early nineteenth century. Perhaps 
unique to libraries in the United States are 
two or three broadsides against capital pun­
ishment and public execution, and one par­
ticularly outstanding broadside published in the 
1840s against slavery in America. The College 
library is attempting to raise a gift fund for the 
purpose of compiling and printing a catalog 
of the Lincolnshire items. Mr. Cummins re­
ceived a portion of the material from a close 
relative and has added to it over the years. He 
is a retired member of the Board of Directors 
for the Pacific Power and Light Company.

• The papers of the late Charles McKinl
for many years professor of political science at 
Reed College, Portland, have been placed in 
the U n i v e r s i t y  o f  O r e g o n  library by Mrs. 
McKinley. McKinley was primarily interested 
in the theory and practice of public adminis­
tration and planning, and often served on gov­
ernment committees and commissions as a 
planning specialist or consultant in adminis­
tration. He was one of the original members of 
the Bonneville Advisory Council and the 
Northwest Regional Council. He was on the 
President’s Committee on Administrative Man­
agement, and engaged in several studies of 
the field services of the Department of Agri­
culture and the Department of the Interior in 
the Pacific Northwest. His familiarity with fed­
eral programs was demonstrated in his book, 
Uncle Sam in th e Pacific Northwest, published 
in 1952.

The papers given to the library consist of 
files of correspondence, minutes, reports, po­
sition papers, and similar records gathered by 
McKinley in the course of his work. They doc­
ument, for the political scientist and historian, 
how decisions are reached, and plans made and 
executed. Among the more important files are 
thousands of transcripts of interviews by Mc­
Kinley with state and federal employees, ad­
ministrators, and private citizens. These inter­

ey

views reveal, as does nothing else, the successes 
and failures of government programs, and the 
personalities behind these programs. No one, 
for example, can hope to write a history of the 
Bonneville Power Administration without con­
sulting the files assembled by McKinley.

• The U n i v e r s i t y  o f  P i t t s b u r g h  Hillman 
library will soon house a new Gertrude and 
Philip Hoffman Library of Judaica, donated by 
Ms. Philip Hoffman as a memorial to her late 
husband, a Pitt graduate and president of 
Thrift Drugs. The announcement came from 
Rhoten A. Smith, Pitt provost, and Donald M. 
Robinson, president of the United Jewish Fed­
eration ( U JF ) . The Judaica collection is being 
established in conjunction with the Program of 
Judaica Studies, which is funded by U JF at the 
rate of $25,000 annually for three years and 
provides for lectures by outstanding Jewish 
scholars. Smith called the Judaica collection 
an “important library resource enabling us to 
attract scholars to the university with an in­
terest in the field of Judaica” and said it will 
be “of great value to the University as a sig­
nificant support to the program in the College 
of Arts and Sciences.”

• T h e American Antiquarian S ociety has 
, announced the availability o f a number of 

short-term visiting fellowships for the twelve 
months of Ju ne 1, 1972, to May 31, 1973, made 
possible by a grant from the United States 
Steel Foundation. In announcing the fellow­
ships, Marcus A. McCorison, director and li­
brarian, said these initial awards are part of the 
society’s continuing effort to make its collec­
tions of American history and culture more 
readily available for research and study.

The fellowships will vary in duration from 
one to three months depending on the fel­
low’s requirements. Stipends will vary in 
amount, according to the fellow’s needs, up to 
a maximum of $1,500. Fellowships will be 
awarded on the basis of the applicant’s scholar­
ly qualifications, general interest of his or her 
project, and appropriateness of the inquiry to 
the society’s collections. Recipients will be ex­
pected to be in residence at the society’s li­
brary during the period of the grant.

Applications may be submitted anytime be­
fore March 15 by persons engaged in scholarly 
research or writing, including those at work on 
doctoral dissertations. Announcement of the 
grants will be made by April 30. James E. 
Mooney, assistant director, is in charge of the 
fellowship program for the society. The selec­
tion committee for the awards will be Ber­
nard Bailyn, professor of history at Harvard

• C o r n e l l  U n iv e r sit y  libraries has received 

a $23,930 grant from the Council on Library 
Resources in Washington, D.C. to conduct a 
pioneering effort in developing a long-range 
plan and a planning method for the Cornell 
library system. David Kaser, director of the li­
braries, said the project will be carried out dur­
ing the 1972 calendar year. He said his staff 
will utilize the services of the American Man­
agement Association’s Planning Center to help 
guide them through a rational process of stra­
tegic planning and to aid them in the develop­
ment of a continuous planning component in 
their administrative operations.

Kaser pointed out that with today’s con­
cept of planning in management theory hardly

ten years old, there has been no sound, effec­
tive, long-range library plan developed any­
where. This point, he said, was made clear in 
the 1970 survey of management problems in 
university libraries conducted by the consulting 
firm of Booz, Allen & Hamilton, under con­
tract to the Association of Research Libraries 
and funded by the Council on Library Re­
sources. That survey identified the lack of 
management planning as one of eight key prob­
lems in current university library administra­
tion.

Results to be sought during the Cornell pro­
gram will include the development of a set of 
skills necessary for continued effective plan­
ning; identification of short- and long-range 
objectives and strategies for their attainment; 
conceptualization of a data flow system to in­
sure the control and vitality of the planning 
process; and an explicit procedure for periodic 
revision and updating of the plan.

• T h e  N a tio n a l A g r ic u lt u r a l L ib ra ry  ha
made a grant of $10,000 to the U.S. Book E x­
change to study current procedures in use by 
the Book Exchange to announce and distribute 
its publications and to test the feasibility of 
how libraries with minimal resources can make 
use of its services. The study, begun June 1971, 
will be conducted over the period of a year, 
terminating June 1972. The National Agricul­
tural Library needs data to assess the effec­
tiveness of its participation in the U .S.B.E. 
program. The U.S. Book Exchange is aware 
of a continuing need to review its operating 
procedures and to improve the distribution of 
surplus library materials to institutions, particu­
larly those lacking adequate economic re­
sources to acquire new or more costly re­
placements. A specific achievement of the grant 
will be an analysis of all costs involved in the 
dissemination of selected agricultural serials to 
the 1890 Land-Grant University and College 
Libraries. Project officer for the grant is Mrs. 
Carol G. Alexander, Acting Deputy Director, 
Library Services, NAL, Beltsville, MD 20250.

E d . N ote: T h e follow in g  rep o r t o f  th e Office 
o f  University L ibrary  M an agem en t Studies, As­
sociation o f  R esea rch  L ibraries, is reprin ted 
w ith th eir perm ission.

• T h e  first full year o f a ctivity fo r the O f ­
f i c e  o f  U n iv e r sit y  L ib r a r y  M a n a g em e n t 
St u d ie s concen trated on a m ajor research in ­
vestigation em ploying th e services o f the m an­
agem ent consulting firm— Booz, Allen, and 
Ham ilton ( BA  & H ). T h e  Study o f Organization 
and Staffing at Colum bia U niversity was com ­
pleted w ithin this year and tw o key docu­
m ents prod uced : a C olum bia study report and 
a plan o f developm ent fo r th e A R L  M anage­
m ent Studies Office.

As noted in last year’s report to the mem­
bership, sponsorship of the Columbia Study is 
one response of the Association to the earlier 
study that produced the report: P rob lem s in 
University L ibrary M anagem ent. These studies 
and the office itself are supported by the Coun­
cil on Library Resources.

Association involvement in the Columbia 
study occurred at several levels. In the first in­
stance, the ARL/ACE ( American Council on 
Education) Committee on University Library 
Management acted in an advisory capacity for 
the BA & H study team. At another level, the 
case study was accomplished at an A RL mem­
ber institution with the active and extensive in­
volvement of that library staff. Finally, the 
Management Studies Office Director participat­
ed in the research as an integral member of the 
BA & H study team.



64

In this role as a member of the study team 
the office director spent a good part of the 
year on Columbia’s campus collecting and ana­
lyzing pertinent data, interviewing university 
officials and library staff, developing alternative 
approaches, considering recommendations, 
documenting conclusions, and presenting re­
sults. This participation of the office allowed 
the study team some budget and staff flex­
ibility. As a result the study team had the op­
portunity to prepare and apply staff question­
naires, to employ special research techniques 
such as the Likert Profile of Organizational 
Characteristics, to probe specific issues at great­
er depth, and to secure extensive contacts with 
and involvement of the Columbia staff.

The report on the Columbia Study was com­
pleted and distributed to the ARL/ACE man­
agement Committee in December. It presents 
a systematic and objective view of research li­
brary operations while probing a variety of 
management issues related to the effective or­
ganization of the resources of a major research 
facility. Specific areas covered include: cen­
tralization of administrative and budget func­
tion, utilization of non-librarian specialists, role 
of staff committees in contributing to library 
policy and management decisions, optimum 
organizational grouping of priority library pro­
grams and the development of staff capabilities 
in pursuit of library objectives. The informa­
tion and recommendations produced by this 
investigation will hopefully be of assistance to 
other libraries in coping with the array of or­
ganizational and staffing problems faced by 
university libraries today.

Following the committee’s review of the re­
port it will be distributed probably as a pub­
lished monograph. A summary of the study’s 
work and recommendations will be sent to 
ARL members shortly and the ARL May mem­
bership meeting will feature a presentation of 
study results.

The second key product of this first year’s 
efforts is “A Plan for Development of the 
University Library Management Studies Office” 
prepared by the consulting firm with the as­
sistance of the office director. This plan pro­
vides an overall framework for the develop­
ment of a management capability within the 
Association o f Research Libraries that contrib­
utes to the library profession’s need for in­
creased management expertise and builds upon 
ARL’s demonstrated commitment to assist in 
the improvement of library management.

The Office Plan constructs a framework for 
action around nine core management areas 
(planning, budget, policy, supervision and lead­
ership, staff development, organization and 
management information) requiring office em­
phasis over a five year period. Specific activ­
ities are listed within four broad programs of

research, dissemination of information, develop­
ment of management tools and advisory as­
sistance. These activities were developed as a 
result of work on the earlier investigation into 
the problems of university library management, 
the research at Columbia, and discussions held 
at the May membership meeting of ARL.

The Office Plan will be reviewed and dis­
cussed by the librarian members of the ARL/ 
ACE management committee and the members 
of the recently created ARL Commission on 
Management at a meeting scheduled in Jan­
uary. The objectives and activities of the Man­
agement Studies Office will then be submitted 
for approval by the ARL Executive Board.

Another product of this year of office work 
is the publication of the first issue of a series of 
occasional papers. The series is planned to 
focus on management problems facing research 
libraries today. Each issue will be devoted 
to a single topic presented as a paper, a sum­
mary, or a bibliographic review. The first pa­
per proposes a structure for long range plan­
ning in university libraries that secures pro­
ductive staff involvement in a central library 
function, assures a continuing planning process, 
and defines the planning responsibility as a 
basic and integral part of every administrator’s 
job. Future papers will examine important man­
agement issues such as the budgeting process, 
the use of committees, and the need for im­
proved personnel evaluation techniques.

The first year of existence for the manage­
ment office has emphasized the completion of a 
major management research effort. Future in­
terests will build on this experience in pur­
suing additional research studies and manage­
ment assistance projects. To do this success­
fully, the office needs the assistance and coun­
sel of member libraries. One aspect of this is 
the referral to the office of specific problems. 
Another is the exchange of management ac­
complishments and projects completed by 
member libraries. The Management Studies 
Office will attempt to collect and disseminate 
this type of information and to utilize the 
management expertise within the ARL to con­
tribute directly to the overall improvement of 
library management.

• More than 1,100 research efforts, experi
mental programs, and innovative activities in­
volving some 2,000 key personnel throughout 
the world were reported in L IS T  1972: L i ­
b r a r y and In f o r m a t io n  Sc ie n c e  T oday. Dr. 
Paul Wasserman, director of the University of

­

Maryland-based project, has issued a call for 
new project data to be included in the third 
annual edition, L IS T  1973.

Questionnaires are currently being distributed 
to personnel in order to identify ongoing proj­
ects. Data provided for each entry include 
names of the principal investigators, the name 
of the project, the name and address of 
the institution at which the project is in prog­
ress, the name of the funding source (if any), 
the beginning and anticipated completion dates, 
as well as a carefully edited description of the 
project based upon information provided by 
project staff members. All those who have not 
received questionnaires should request them 
from L IS T  1973, School of Library and Infor­
mation Services, University of Maryland, Col­

• The M ark T w a in P a p e r s in the Bancroft 
library on the UC Berkeley campus have pro­
vided the material for six volumes of previous­
ly unpublished writings by one of America’s 
most popular and influential writers. These six 
volumes, recently published by the University 
of California Press, will b e  supplemented by 
a seventh to b e issued in 1972. Additional 
volumes now being edited include the author’s 
notebooks and his collected correspondence.

As an aid to its publication program, the



66

Mark Twain Papers would welcome gifts of ma­
terials related to the author’s life and literary 
career, according to Frederick Anderson, edi­
tor.

“Although the Mark Twain Papers are by 
far the largest collection of his manuscripts, 
they need to be supplemented by first editions 
of Twain’s books as well as editions published 
before the author’s death in 1910,” Anderson 
said.

Other desirable items include Twain manu­
scripts, letters, and pages from his lectures 
( which the author is known to have given 
away). City directories for New York City, 
Elmira, and Hartford for the period 1870-1910 
would be of great research value, Anderson 
adds, as would copies of books owned by 
Mark Twain.

Should any of these items be available 
please communicate with Mr. Frederick An­
derson, editor of the Mark Twain Papers, by 
letter or telephone (4 15-642-6480).

• The first issue of a series of Occasional 
Papers from the University Library Manage­
ment Studies Office is being sent out this week 
by the Association of Research Libraries to its 
member institutions. Entitled “Planning Aids 
for University Library Directors,” it suggests a 
managerial approach and an organizational 
structure that can be employed by library ad­
ministrators to achieve a continuing and pro­
ductive planning process.

Three elements are described as contributing 
to a useful university library planning pro­
gram: the formal organization (th e  library di­
rector, the planning-budget officer, and organi­
zational unit heads) ; the seven steps of a 
planning program: and staff involvement through 
a senior planning board, a planning task force, 
and program advisory groups.

In addition, the occasional paper presents a 
model position description for a university li­
brary planning-budget officer to act as a co­
ordinator for the library planning process. Se­
lected planning materials are noted in order 
to facilitate pursuit of the planning program by 
administrators.

• The Council for European Studies has re­
cently published a detailed and extremely 
useful book entitled W e stern  E u r o p e a n  N ew s­
p a p ers in t h e  B o sto n -C a m b rid g e A rea. The 
manuscript was compiled by Leonie Gordon at 
W est European Studies, Harvard University. 
This publication includes both the distinguished 
holdings at Harvard and the less obvious, 
but still important collections at the Boston 
Public Library, the New England Deposit L i­
brary, and elsewhere in the Boston-Cambridge 
area.

Newspapers are arranged by country and then 
by city of publication, with a detailed title in­
dex which enables the user to locate a spe­
cific title quickly in the main listing. Although 
descriptions are sometimes bibliographically 
incomplete, they often provide starting dates, 
frequency of publication, and the nature of 
the holdings. Call numbers are also provided 
which enable the potential user, whether in the 
Boston area or in some other location, to cite 
the exact number for the publication desired.

Scholars of European history and contem­
porary affairs will find this list particularly val­
uable as a guide to literature that is impor­
tant but frequently difficult to locate. R efer­
ence departments will also find the list useful 
for bibliographical work and for interlibrary 
loans. T he book is available from the Council 
for European Studies, 2 1 3  Social Sciences 
Bldg., University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, 
PA 15213. Cost is $5.00, payable to The 
University of Pittsburgh. ■ ■
