ACRL News Issue (B) of College & Research Libraries 232 Goals is published. The committee requests that CLS members respond with detailed criti­ cisms and suggestions, addressed to the com­ mittee chairman. These responses will guide committee discussions at Midwinter 1975. A final report is scheduled for the Annual Con­ ference in 1975. DRAFT STATEMENT OF CLS GOALS The goals of CLS shall be: a. To provide a forum for discussion of prob­ lems concerning undergraduate library service primarily. These are problems which are either unique to the college li­ brary or, where more generalized, are of immediate and pressing concern to the college library. b. In providing this forum, to make certain that the major concerns of all types of col­ lege library receive attention, particular­ ly those which exist in relative geographi­ cal and professional isolation from major academic centers. c. To arrange programs, meetings and other activities which will encourage direct membership participation. The committee suggests that programs and activities centering around themes such as the following would make a useful beginning to­ ward realization of goals such as the above: The effectiveness o f present “standards” or “guidelines” for the maintenance of adequate levels of service in the college library. The extent to which “standards” make a differ­ ence in problem solving in the college li­ brary. Regional cooperatives and the college li­ brary, including the concept of community use of the college library, emphasizing “best practice,” management problems, fiscal im­ plications, public relations, and similar con­ siderations. Data retrieval in the college library with con­ sideration of the potential for joint use or sharing of terminals on a local or regional basis among cooperating college libraries. The place o f the nonprint m edia in the col­ lege library: the “learning resources center” and the college library. Library instruction for the undergraduate, its place in the teaching-learning process and the contribution of the professional staff of the college library in the provision of this in­ struction. The enlargement of graduate instruction, continuing education programs, and service to the community programs on the college campus and their impact on college library services. Continuing education for the college library staff. The potential contribution of consortia, library schools, and other agencies in this area. CLS members are urged to send written eactions to the foregoing in care of the com­ ittee chairman at the following address: harles L. Higgins, Director of Learning Re­ ources, Nazareth College of Rochester, 4245 r m C s East Avenue, Rochester, NY 14610. ■ ■ Bylaws of the College Libraries Section of ACRL Approved by the membership of the ACRL College Libraries Section, on July 9,1974.
