News Notes •The Baker & Taylor Com pany and the State Education Commission of the People’s Republic of China have signed a multi-year contract for the sale of books to colleges and universities throughout that country. Most of the books are expected to be scholarly, scientific and technical titles. The con­ tract continues and expands an initial agreement signed several years ago. Baker & Taylor exhibited more than 1,500 U.S. titles at the Beijing Book Fair in September. • The University of California-Davis recently selected a copy of Charles Estienne’s L ’Agriculture et Maison Rustique, published in Paris in 1570 and bound with Jean de Glamorgan’s L a Chasse du L o u p , as the Libraries’ two millionth volume. These classic French works on agriculture and ru­ ral life contain chapters on grape-growing, wine­ making, horticulture, distillation, animal hus­ bandry and hunting. The volume was presented in honor of Maynard A. Amerine, professor emeritus of viticulture and enology, by a group of California vintners and alumni of the university. •The University of Georgia, Athens, has estab­ lished a rare book and manuscript library in honor of Felix Hargrett, an alumnus who has given the university thousands of books including many rare titles. The new library contains the university’s rare book, Georgiana and manuscript collections. Hargrett, a retired insurance executive, has do­ nated more than 12,000 printed items, including six incunabula, and more than 10,000 manuscripts since 1953. A large collection of materials from the Confederacy is of particular interest. P E O P L E Profiles M a r y J .

We offer expedited book and photocopy delivery service to faculty, staff, and graduate students. Requests can be sent via campus mail, phone, or electronic mail. Book delivery is free and articles are retrieved and copied for 10¢ per page. Cur­ rently we are working with our Academic Com­ puting Center to create a total information envi­ ronment. Step one of this process involves blurring the lines between the delivery service and tradi­ tional interlibrary loan. The service has proven immensely popular, with patron usage increasing by 52% over the last year. We are extremely pleased with our success and hope to continue to refine our service as new tech­ nologies surface.— Ju d ith A.

Speech writing To the Editor: Susan Matson’s article in the September C &R L N ews on how to develop a research paper was abso­ lutely marvelous. I look forward to a sequel, in which she may give pointers on how to convert the oral presentation into an article suitable for publi­ cation. She will, I know, reveal the secrets for con­ vincing readers of the importance of the article without, of course, their feeling any need actually to read it.—W illiam J. M yrick, University Associ­ ate D ean f o r L ibraries, T he City University o f New York.
