a l a ’s Washington office reports th a t guide­
lines for the “Networks for Knowledge,” Higher 
Education Act Title VHl, are in the final stages 
of preparation by the U.S. Office of Educa­
tion’s Division of College Support. They were 
drawn up by a task force which included rep­
resentatives from tire fields of teaching, li- 
brarianship, and educational broadcasting. 
However, according to the fiscal year 1970 
budget released by President Nixon, imple­
mentation of this new program is being “de­
ferred.” In other words, no funds were recom­
mended to be appropriated for the coming 
year. If Congress reinstates the appropriation 
of $750,000 requested in the Johnson budget. 
Division officials estimate th at only “a handful 
—probably under ten” projects can be funded. 
Of these, at least one, and possibly two, would 
involve library networks. Title VIH is not de­
signed to be used exclusively for library net­
works; whatever money is available must go 
to support several different types of cooperative 
efforts. ■ ■
