ACRL News Issue (B) of College & Research Libraries 19 Personnel D r . E m e r s o n J a c o b became Librarian of the Newark Campus of Rutgers University on November 1. He had served, since 1965, as College Librarian at State University Col­ lege, Fredonia, New York and prior to that in the headships at California State Poly­ technic College and Baldwin Wallace Col­ lege and as Acquisi­ tions Librarian at Michigan State Uni­ versity 1948-58 and the University of Dr. Jacob Maryland 1945-48 and as Asst. Librarian of Mount Union College 1943-45. During his tenure at SUNY Fredonia the collection grew from 76,000 to 150,000 volumes and a sub­ stantial growth of resources and facilities en­ sued. He was active in the affairs of SUNY head librarians serving on various assignments, one of which had to do with academic status for SUNY librarians, and he was also a trustee and founding member of the Western New York Library Resources Council. A graduate of Mount Union College in 1939, Dr. Jacob received his BSLS from Western Reserve in 1942, an MA in history from Co­ lumbia in 1951, and his PhD in history from Western Reserve University in 1961. His dis­ sertation entitled: Disraeli’s Social Reforms, 1874-1880 reflected his interest in Victorian and nineteenth-century England and this interest is further brought to bear in undergraduate his­ tory teaching—an assignment he has assumed beyond his library administrative duties. In ad­ dition to his interest in historical scholarship Dr. Jacob has contributed journal articles deal­ ing with acquisitions and collection building, has done ALA committee work and has been a member of the Association since 1942. His subsidiary interests and hobbies include: poli­ tics and foreign affairs; golf (mid-80’s); pro football ( spectator only); and chess. At Rutgers-Newark Dr. Jacob will be ad­ ministering a library program at an urban in­ stitution which is on the threshold of consid­ erable expansion and development. His sub­ stantial previous experience should stand him in good stead and it is safe to assume that the Library of the Newark Campus of Rutgers will have resourceful and imaginative leadership in the period ahead.—Douglas Swartout, State University College, Fredonia, New York St a n l e y L. W e s t became Director of the University of Hawaii Libraries July 1, 1968. He had been Professor of Library Studies at Hawaii’s G rad u a te School of Library Stud­ ies during 1967-1968 and before that Direc­ tor of Libraries and Head of the De­ partment of Library Science at the Uni­ versity of Florida, Gainesville, for some twenty years. A native of Cal­ ifornia, Dr. West has Mr. West had a longstanding interest in Asia and the Pacific dating back to an undergraduate major in International Relations of the Far East at the University of California and an ex­ tensive tour of duty in the Pacific as a U.S. Navy Lieutenant in World War II. His formal educa­ tion includes an AB from California, 1933; grad­ uate work in public administration at California from 1933-1934; legal study at the University of Florida, LLB, 1938, JD 1968; and the BS in LS from Columbia in 1942. Following an initial career as law librarian at the University of Florida from 1938-1940 and at the Uni­ versity of Pittsburgh from 1940-1942, Dr. West had the good fortune to serve for a short time as administrative assistant to Charles C. Williamson, then Director of Columbia Uni­ versity Libraries. Williamson, one of the best of the university and research librarians of the first half of this century, treated the position of administrative assistant as a training position, and after a few months of demonstrating his capabilities West was given increasing respon­ sibility for handling the administration of a complex university library. Following his years with the Navy, West returned to Columbia for a brief period as Associate Law Librarian. In 1946 he returned to Florida as Director of University Libraries, where his training under Williamson stood him in good stead for in his twenty years there Stan West developed the University of Florida libraries from weakness to significant strength in staff, collections and physical plant. The membership of Florida in the Association of R esearch Libraries, the new research library building dedicated in April 1967 and the book collections numbering 1,200,000 volumes all stand as tributes to West’s steady hand and ability to secure adequate resources and support from the university administration. Stan West has been a founding father and moving spirit in a number of important li­ 20 brary organizations, among them the Associa­ tion of Southeast Research Libraries of which he was Chairman in 1959-1960 and the Semi­ nars on the Acquisition of Latin American Li­ brary materials. He has served as Chairman of the ACRL Committee on Constitution and By Laws, 1956, of the Nominating Committee 1958-1959, and of the Advisory Committee on Cooperation with Educational and Professional Organizations 1963-1966. He was also Chair­ man of the ALA Board on Resources Subcom­ mittee on Resources of Southern Libraries in 1950 and 1956 and Chairman of ARL Farm­ ington Plan Subcommittee on Latin American Reserves, 1959-1966. Dr. West served as consultant to the His­ panic Foundation of the Library of Congress from 1964-1965 and was a Fulbright lecturer in Rome in Spring 1957. During his Fulbright year and again in 1967, West visited mon­ asteries in Italy and elsewhere in Europe in keeping with his interest in the 8th and 9th century renaissance of Western culture, a sub­ ject in which he has an intense interest and about which he hopes one day to complete a book. All of this adds up to a wealth of experience particularly useful to the University of Hawaii at the present stage in its growth. West now takes over from Dr. Ralph R. Shaw, who has become a full-time professor of library studies, a library system with a new graduate research library building, a project to convert to LC classification in its terminal stages and greatly expanded staff and book budget.

The old way: Read tens of thousands of listings and ads. The new way: Use the unique Books-Coming-Into-Print Service from Bro-Dart's Stacey's Division. Books-Coming-Into-Print is a computer­ operated advance notification and acquisi­ tion program which allows your library to rofile its needs in specific disciplines. It gives you notification, continuations, and automatic shipment of books on approval. This is much more than an approval pro­ ram. O ur Stacey's Division, the nation's lead­ ng academic bookseller, will classify and rganize over 20,000 titles a year of interest o your library. Then there's the matter of our computer nd the Thesaurus we provide you with. By sing our Thesaurus and your specifications ou pin point the exact type of books you'll e interested in, regardless of how broad or arrow your areas of special interest or the cademic level desired. By carefully profil­ ng your needs, you'll be receiving books or nformation about only those publications hat would be of special interest to your ibrary. That's the advantage of dealing ith a computer. The Books-Coming-Into-Print Program ill provide you with an advance notice ard prior to publication for each title which its your profile. If you, for any reason, on't want the book, all you have to do is eturn the computerized card. A nd we won't p g i o t a u y b n a i i t l w w c f d r send you the book. If, on publication, the book is not appropriate to your profile, you will receive a rejection notice with explana­ tion. O f course, all shipments are "on approval." Remember, you'll be dealing with one source for books from all publishers. The Books-Coming-Into-Print Program applies to all English language books, continua­ tions, and monographs by commercial and non-commercial publishers. In the hum ani­ ties. O r the sciences. Then, since you'll be dealing with Bro- Dart, you'll have the option of getting your books with a full variety of supplemental cataloging and processing services. Since you'll be given advance notice about each new book, the system is com­ patible with your present way of ordering monographs and continuations. A nd what you'll have is an "on order" file which your library can use for ordering, reference, or cancellations. Naturally, your library will receive com­ petitive discounts. Rapid service. A nd ac­ curate selections. M uch easier than reading all those ads and listings. For additional information on this excit­ ing new service, write: Dept. CRL-1 P.O.
