ASIAN/NORTH AFRICAN 
LIBRARIANS TO FORM

NEW SUBSECTION
A group of librarians who specialize in the 

development of Asian and North African col­
lections have announced their intention to form 
a new subsection within the Subject Specialists 
Section of the Association of College and Re­
search Libraries. The purposes of the new sub­
section are to provide a forum for discussion of 
mutual problems and concerns shared by li­
brarians specializing in these fields and to es­
tablish an organ which can act for the Associa­
tion of College and Research Libraries Subject 
Specialists Section, in collaboration with other 
professional groups, with respect to those as­
pects of library service requiring knowledge of 
Asian and North African languages and area 
studies.

Librarians who are interested in joining the 
new subsection are warmly welcomed to do so. 
An organizational meeting to determine the 
name of the subsection, draft bylaws and elect 
a slate of permanent officers will be convened 
during the annual conference of the American 
Library Association, to be held in Atlantic City 
during June 22-28, 1969. The exact time and 
place of the organizational meeting will be an­
nounced later. Those who are interested in 
joining the new subsection are invited to con­
tact the Chairman of the ad hoc Organizing 
Committee: Mr. Louis A. Jacob, Director, Asian 
Reference Department, Van Pelt Library, Uni­
versity of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, Pennsyl­
vania 19104. ■ ■
