Pitkin (292 pages, August 1989), is based on the proceedings of a 1986 pre­ conference sponsored by the Association for Li­ brary Collections and Technical Services. Original papers by Gordon Shillinglaw, Malcolm Getz, and Delmus E. Williams address costing methods and applications, cost analysis and library services in the electronic age, and the superficialities of cost analy­ sis. Eight case studies, including data from Cornell, Vanderbilt, and the University of Oregon, are in­ cluded, along with an annotated bibliography. Copies may be ordered for $39.50 from Neal- Schuman Publishers, 23 Leonard St., New York, NY 10013.

Harmon (288 pages, re­ vised ed., 1989), is a guide to the literature of bibliography, accompanied by basic standards for compiling various types of bibliographic instru­ ments. Most of the entries in the original edition (1981) have been revised. The two major branches of bibliography (enumerative and analytical) are covered in separate chapters, and extensive refer­ ence sources and periodicals related to the subject are reviewed. Appendices list the major biblio­ graphical style manuals, a glossary of terms, and major bibliographic organiaztions. Copies may be ordered for $29.50 from Scarecrow Press, P.O. Box 4167, Metuchen, NJ 08840. ISBN 0-8108-2218-0. • E m ploym ent Discrim ination: A Claims Manual f o r Em ployees and Managers, by An­ drew J. Maikovich and Michele D. Brown (206 pages, 1989), is designed both for the employee (who may be frustrated by a failure to understand why a decision is made) and the employer (who may need to know what preventive steps are re­ quired to defend a case). Topics include the three acts that protect individuals from employment dis­ crimination, who is covered, exceptions from cov­ erage, proving a case, current issues in employ­ ment law, the EEOC administrative process, and procedures for federal employees. Copies are available for $24.95 from McFarland & Company, Inc., Box 611, Jefferson, NC 28640. ISBN 0- 89950-436-1. • Federal Information Policies: The Con- gressional Initiative, by Douglas Price (79 pages, September 1989), is a summary of the proceedings of the sixth annual Forum on Federal Information Policies, conducted by the Federal Library and Information Center Committee (FLICC) at the Library of Congress in March 1989. In addition to a summary prepared by Price, the publication in­ cludes the complete texts of three papers submit­ ted for the forum by Congressman Robert E. Wise Jr., Harold C. Relyea, and Robert M. Rosenzweig. Relyea’s paper examines the constitutional provi­ sions for the nation’s information policies and ways that Congress has provided for publishing govern­ ment information. Responses to Relyea’s paper by Ralph Nader and Walter Berns are summarized. Nader contends that the availability of government information is “not very good at all,” and Berns suggests that Congress apply the Freedom of Infor­ mation Act to itself as well as to the executive branch. Other forum speakers whose remarks are summarized are Nancy Kranich, John H. Gibbons, Susan K. Martin, and Anthony G. Oettinger. The summary is free and may be ordered by writing to FLICC, Library of Congress, Washington, DC 20540. • A H arvest Gathered: Food in the New World, prepared by Daniel J. Slive (37 pages, December 1989), is the catalog for an exhibition at the John Carter Brown Library that is on display through April 1990. The primary sources displayed in this exhibit document the identification of New World foods and their procurement, preparation, and consumption as one aspect of the colonial history of the Americas. Copies are available for $4.50 from John Carter Brown Library Books, Brown University, Box 1894, Providence, RI 02912. 158 / C&RL News • H yper Source on M ultim edia/H yperM edia Technologies (256 pages, October 1989) and HyperSource on Optical Technologies (312 pages, October 1989), both by Ching-chih Chen (Sim­ mons College), are actually bibliographies, but the author has chosen to call them “HyperSources” because they are intended to be linked to each other as well as to several other information sources. The multimedia volume includes unanno­ tated citations on these topics: hypertext, anima­ tion, CAD, CD-I, computer graphics, CAI, digiti­ zation, expert systems, image technology, interac­ tive videodisk, OCR, scanning, 3-D graphics, and voice recognition. Its companion volume covers CD-A, CD-I, CD-ROM, DVI, digital paper, eras­ able disk, interactive videodisk, optical card, opti­ cal film, videodisk, visual and image databases, and WORM. Both books are published by ALA’s Li­ brary and Information Technology Association.

Ruch (486 pages, 1989), is much more interesting than it sounds. Organized geographically by continent, the book provides much of the background and cultural rules that you might need to do business or visit there. For ex­ ample, the section on Denmark gives a brief sum­ mary of the country’s history and what kind of people the Danes are (informal but polite, adapt­ able, close-knit families, avid readers). Several paragraphs on Danish economy include a summary of labor relations laws. A table on Danish corporate communication practices reveals that the Danes: conduct business informally and in English; expect punctuality; shake hands with a firm grip and eye contact for its duration; exchange business cards; use first names only with close friends; have a low- context culture; and use time monochronically. A case study of one Danish company, Aalborg Port­ land-Cement-Fabrik, describes a representative Danish company. Information for the book was derived from Fortune International 500 compa­ nies, a literature search, the author’s personal travel experiences, and interviews with foreign embassy personnel. The cost is $49.95, from McFarland & Company, Inc., Box 611, Jefferson, NC 28640. ISBN 0-89950-386-1. • L ib ra ry Genes and O ther Considerations: A Rem em brance o f Keyes D eW itt M etcalf, by Alicia Metcalf Miller, commemorates M etcalfs centenary with this memoir of the distinguished librarian by his great niece. Miller, author of the recent novel, Home Bodies, remembers Metcalf as a storyteller and an elder whom children found beguiling. The publication was designed by Eric May, professor of art at Kent State, and one of the designers of the Logan Elm Press printing of Inan- garo (1987). It is available for $5.00 (prepaid) from Sandy Clark, Kent State University Press, Kent, OH 44242. • L ib ra ry o f Congress Rule Interpretations f o r AACR2, 1988 Revision: A Cumulation through Cataloging Service Bulletin N um ber 45, com­ piled by Alan Boyd and Elaine Druesedow (350 pages, 1989), has been completely revised and reissued. Oberlin intends to continue providing (with quarterly looseleaf supplements) a handy, low-cost cumulation of all LCRIs at a cost far below the bulkier Library of Congress compilation. The price, $26, includes quarterly updates for Catalog­ ing Service Bulletins 46-48. Order from Alan Boyd, Oberlin College Library, Oberlin, OH 44074. • M artin Luther King, Jr. and the Civil Rights M ovem ent, edited by David J. Garrow (18 vol­ umes, 1989), brings together many elusive or un­ published sources of scholarship on the civil rights movement.

Abernathy’s 1958 master’s thesis on the Montgomery Bus Boycott of 1955-1956, while volume 17 includes 49 inter­ views with members of the Student Nonviolent Co­ ordinating Committee in 1966-1967.

Box 023350, Brooklyn, NY 11202-0067. • A Pocket Guide to the Identification o f First Editions, compiled by Bill McBride (76pages, 4th revised ed., 1989), lists the methods that 2,296 publishers use to identify their first editions. In­ cluded are publishers from the United States, Brit­ ish Commonwealth nations, and other English- language publishers around the world. The guide lists the identification methods in a simple, mne­ monic code (EP=First Printing, FE=First Edition) so that the user can quickly find a publisher’s name and know at once what to look for in a given book. Since many publishers changed their methods over the years, the guide enumerates the methods and indicates the dates they were in effect. The book is suitably compact ( 4 x 6 inches) for use in the field. Copies are available for $7.95 from McBride/Pub- lisher, 161-R S. Whitney St., Hartford, CT 06105. • Protecting Engineering Ideas and Inven- tions, by Ramon D. Foltz and Thomas A.
