The A ssociation and th e Baker & Taylor Com ­ p an y w ill p re se n t th e aw ard to Beckman on Ju n e 30 at th e ACRL membership meeting at New York U niversity during the ALA Annual C o n feren ce in New York. Margaret BeckmanThe award cites Beck­ man for her influence in a very broad range of academic ìibrarianship and recognizes her authority in the areas of library management, automation and building design. “Beckman’s contributions to the field of library automation are widely known,” the citation reads. “CODOC, an automated system for organizing government documents, now adopted by many li­ braries, was her design and originated at the Uni­ versity of Guelph. The GEAC library system was developed there under her leadership and has since become a prototype for many institutions.” Beckman was also honored for her development f a consultative management model that she de­ eloped at the University of Guelph, as well as her involvement with library building planning. She as taught regularly on this subject since 1970 and has delivered seminars and consulted around the orld in such countries as China, Iceland, and Saudi Arabia. Canada has recognized her distinc­ ion in this field by appointing her official repre­ entative to the last three UNESCO Library Build­ ings conferences. The ACRL Academic or Research Librarian of the Year Award was established by ACRL and the Baker & Taylor Company to recognize members of the library profession who have made outstanding national or international contributions to aca­ demic or research Ìibrarianship and library devel­ opment. The Committee that selected Beckman for the award consisted of the following persons: Charles B. Osburn (chair), University Librarian, University of Cincinnati; Dale B. Canelas, Direc­ tor, University of Florida Libraries; James F. Mc­ Coy, Director of Learning Resources, Hudson Val­ ley Community College; Jean Pelletiere, College of Public Affairs and Policy, SUNY-Albany; Shelley E.

Still, whose association w ith NYU began in 1947, served as head of the History D epartm ent, 1955-70, as act­ ing d ean of th e College of Arts and Science, 1958-60, and as acting dean of the G rad u ate School of Arts and Science, 1971. Upon his retire­ ment from teaching in 1974, Still became director of the Archives, and was active in the organization of the university’s sesquicentennial celebration in 1981-82. His scholarly works include Milwaukee: The History o f a City (1946, 1955), Mirror fo r Gotham: New York as Seen by Contemporaries from Dutch Days to the Present (1956), and Urban America: A History w ith Documents (1974). The collection, which spans 60 years, includes material from Still’s years as a graduate student at the Uni­ versity of Wisconsin, where he studied under the historian Frederick L. Paxson; his early teaching career at w hat is now the University of Wisconsin- Milwaukee and Duke University; the w ar years in the Army Air Force Historical Office; and his long association w ith NYU. Included are correspon­ dence, articles, speeches and research notes, many on the history of NYU, Greenwich Village, and New York City. • The University of California, Los Angeles De- partm ent of Special Collections, Manuscript Divi­ sion, has acquired two manuscripts of note. One is a Henry Miller notebook, containing notes of his tour around the United States in 1940-41. The notebook contains material which Miller used for The A ir-C o n d itio n e d N ig h tm a re (New York, 1945-47) and complements other notes, m an u ­ scripts, typescripts, and drawings in the Henry Miller Papers at UCLA. The notebook includes more than 200 pages of holograph notes, an itiner­ ary of the trip, and five original drawings. Some of the entries in the notebook were repeated verbatim in the book, but much of the notebook contains un­ published materials th at will contibute to further Miller scholarship. The notebook is one of the few M iller m anuscripts not originally deposited at UCLA by Miller. It was sold by Miller in 1942 and remained in private hands until its acquistion by UCLA. UCLA has also acquired the manuscript of Fe- derigo Com m andino’s translation of Archimedes (ca.1553), the copy which Paolo Manuzio used to print the Aldine edition (Venice, 1558). The m anu­ script is in the handw riting of both Guidobaldo dal Monte and Commandino himself, whose m argina­ lia offer both translation corrections and printing directions which were carried out in the printed edition. C om m andino was the most im portant translator of Greek m athem atical treatises in the 16th century. • The University of Denver’s Houston Fine Arts Center is now the home of one of the ten largest dance libraries in the country, the M artha Faure Carson Dance Library.
