It is the responsibility of the reposi­ tory to inform researchers of the re­ strictions which apply to individual collections or record groups. b. The repository should discourage donors from imposing unreasonable restrictions. c. The repository should, whenever possible, require a specific time lim­ it on all restrictions. d. The repository should periodically reevaluate restricted records and work toward providing access to ma­ terial no longer harmful to individ­ uals or to national interest. ■ ■ News From the Field A C Q U I S I T I O N S • California State Univehsity, Fresno, has acquired the archives of Albert Kimsey Owen, founder of the utopian colony at Topolo- bampo, Sinaloa, Mexico. These archives were given to the University Library, Department of Special Collections, by Mr. Ray Reynolds of San Diego, who obtained them from the Owen fami­ ly. These archives will be added to a smaller collection of materials on the colony and the Credit Foncier Company of Sinaloa. The small­ er collection was given to the university in 1955 by Mrs. Viola Gabriel, of Fresno, who was born in the colony. The Reynolds collection consists of over ten thousand letters, maps, documents, newspapers, pamphlets, and plans relating to the colony and the Credit Foncier Company. The Gabriel col­ lection contains about eight hundred items of a similar nature, as well as an outstanding col­ lection of nearly 100 photographs. The combined collection constitutes the larg­ est and most complete collection of materials on any American utopian venture of the late nineteenth century. • The Special Collections of Ganser Library of Millersville State College, Millersville, Pennsylvania has received the papers of Rich­ ard Gehman. Given by his widow, Marianne, the collection includes scrapbooks relating to the publications of his works; original manu­ scripts of his novels, nonfiction works, and mag­ azine articles, both published and unpublished; correspondence concerning his works; personal diaries; taped interviews with subjects of books and articles; photographs of Gehman during various phases of his life; leather bound copies of his longer books inscribed to Gehman by other authors. A native of Lancaster, Gehman became known as the “King of Freelance Writ­ ers,” publishing 2,000 to 3,000 magazine ar­ ticles; biographies of show business personal­ ities; nonfiction works including Murder in Par­ adise, How to W rite and Sell Magazine Arti­ cles, and L et M y Heart Be Broken; and several novels, two of which are Driven and The Had. • The library of Ohio State University has recently purchased a collection of rare books on the history of geology from Professor George W. White, a distinguished geologist and alumnus of the university. This acquisition con­ stitutes a major addition to the library’s hold­ ings in this field and will greatly facilitate studies on the early development of geology here, both by students and faculty. • Mr. and Mrs. Barry Moyerman and Mrs. Samuel Moyerman of Philadelphia have given to the Hugh M. Morris Library of the Univer­ sity of D elaware one of the largest gifts in its history. Over a period of three years the li­ brary has added to its collections over 25,000 volumes. The books and pamphlets are particu­ larly rich in local, state, and county histories of the Delaware Valley, directories, almanacs, eighteenth and nineteenth century travel, eigh­ teenth century legal material, American theolo­ gy, and materials reflecting American economic, political, and social conditions. In addition to the books and other printed and pictorial ma­ terials there are approximately 250,000 manu­ scripts. These papers primarily reflect the eco­ nomic, social, and artistic life of eighteenth and nineteenth century Pennsylvania and particular­ ly Philadelphia. There are also circa 65,000 items from the Philadelphia Customs House from 1790-1840. Included also are vast num­ bers of diaries, daybooks, ledgers, recipe books, and receipt books. Besides the books and manu­ scripts there are large numbers of political and theological broadsides and other ephemeral types of material reflecting all aspects of nine­ teenth century America. 202 The Morris Library has also been given a col­ lection of over 600 volumes of eighteenth and nineteenth century Americana and illustrated books by Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Y. Jeanes, Jr. of Wilmington, Delaware. Included in this collec­ tion are Audubon’s Birds of America (1840- 1844), seven volumes, the Viviparous Quadru­ peds of North America (1845-1853), six vol­ umes, and Wilson’s American Ornithology (1808-1814), nine volumes. In addition to these are books relating to travel, politics, eco­ nomics, and society in general during the early years of the republic. There is a large group of books on George Washington and many of the orations published shortly after Washington’s death. All of the books in this collection are in superb condition. • The AIR Force Academy library has re­ ceived a collection of Air Letter Sheets, official­ ly valued at more than $26,000. The collection was presented to Secretary of the Air Force Robert C. Seamans, Jr., on behalf of the Acad­ emy by Mrs. Elizabeth T. Allen of Greenwich, Connecticut. In this collection are the Air Let­ ter Sheets used by all of the countries through­ out the world including those issued by the United Nations from 1941 through the present. Unique among the collection are the sheets used by Germany and given to the prisoners of war during their captivity in World War II. • Books and correspondence relating to au­ thors Stefan and Friderike Zweig have been do­ nated to Reed Library at the State University College, Fredonia, New York. The materials, given by Mrs. Susanne Hoeller and Mrs. Eliza­ beth M. Stoerk of Stamford, Connecticut, com­ plement the extensive collection of materials re­ lating to the Zweigs already held by Reed Li­ brary. Stefan Zweig, a noted Austrian man of letters, died in Brazil in 1942. His first wife, Friderike, was also active as a writer and had her own career as an essayist and biographer. She died in 1971. Mrs. Hoeller and Mrs. Stoerk are daughters of Friderike Zweig and the books donated by and about the two authors are from Friderike’s personal library. Also included in the gift are photographic copies of Stefan Zweig’s correspondence. The originals are held by the state library in Vienna, Austria. • The Sir Isaac Newton Collection at Bab­ son College in Massachusetts has recently ac­ quired an annotated copy of the 1687 edition of Newton’s Principia with corrections and al­ terations by both Newton and Edmond Halley.

F E L L O W S H IP S • The Department of Health Education and Welfare has awarded the School of Library Sci­ ence, Atlanta University, five fellowships to prepare library science students to work with various disadvantaged or minority groups in higher education. Fellows selected to partici­ pate receive a stipend of $3,000 a year with an allowance of $500 for each dependent. In ad­ dition, an allowance of $3,000 per fellow is paid to the institution to cover the cost of tui­ tion and nonrefundable fees. Those interested in the program should contact the university. G R A N T S • The Women’s History Library has re­ ceived a grant of $50,457 from the Fund for the Improvement of Post-Secondary Education, Department of Health, Education and Welfare. The grant is for the first year (July 1973-June 1974) of an Intern and Consultation Program designed to train students, teachers, librarians, and women’s center organizers for three month periods in the collection procedures and inter­ nal organization techniques of the Women’s History Library. The goal of the program is to enable interns to acquire the skills needed to create or aug­ ment their own women’s resource centers. The proposal does not provide stipends for the in­ terns, but it is hoped that interested institutions will cooperate by offering academic credit to students and sabbaticals to teachers and librar­ ians who would benefit from this program. Staff members of the library will also be avail­ able as consultants to those institutions who cannot send interns to the library. For further information about the program, contact Connie Maske, Project Coordinator, Women’s History Library, 2325 Oak Street, Berkeley, CA 94708 ( 415-524-7772).

M IS C E L L A N Y • The National Agricultural Library announced recently the award of a contract for $27,392 to Lockheed Missiles and Space Com­ pany, Inc. to provide on-line interactive biblio­ graphic search and retrieval service for the CAIN (CAtaloging-INdexing) data base. This system is intended to serve primarily the bib­ liographic information needs of the U.S. De­ partment of Agriculture through the library. Service will also be available to anyone in the agricultural community at a modest cost. The bibliographic data for this system will be provided by NAL. A contractor is to provide for the conversion of the data base as required, computer storage and processing, search and retrieval capability, on-line access, and leased terminals to be installed at two NAL locations. Further information is available from Lock­ heed representatives, Dr. Roger K. Summit, De­ partment 52-08, Building 201, Lockheed Palo Alto Research Laboratory, 3251 Hanover St., Palo Alto, CA 94303, and Mr. Robert Donati, 405 Lexington Ave., New York, NY 10017. • Forty San Diego libraries have organized as the San Diego Greater Metropolitan Area Library Council (SD Library Metro) to further cooperation and coordination of li­ brary services and collections in the county and to insure that the area’s libraries have resources necessary to meet the informational needs of all individuals and organizations. Current mem­ bership of SD Library Metro included most of the public libraries in San Diego city and coun­ ty plus a good number of the special and mili­ tary libraries and those located on the campuses of the state and private universities and com­ munity colleges. Also included are several pri­ vate libraries such as the Sierra Museum, the Fine Arts Museum, the Jewish Community Center, and the County Law Library. Only through a high level of cooperation among the libraries of San Diego have the in­ formational needs of the area been met. Pro­ grams such as the Associated Science Library organization, the publication of the San Diego Area Library Directory, and the joint work of the San Diego Chapters of the California Li­ brary Association and Special Libraries Associa­ tion have helped. According to Thorne, the first effort of SD Library Metro has been the appointment of two working committees. The first is a commit­ tee to work on the development of an annotat­ ed directory of the member libraries which will include a description of each library collection listing such things as the strengths of each col­ lection, how they can be further developed, and how they can be utilized by the public. The second committee will deal with the accessibil­ ity of the various collections through the de­ velopment of a workable interlibrary loan sys­ tem. In addition, SD Library Metro will soon start publication of a newsletter which will carry news of the various members including recent acquisitions, staff changes, and up-to- date descriptions of each collection. • Approximately forty professionals and support staff members from Case Western Re­ serve University libraries in Cleveland recent­ ly attended a three and a half-day workshop led by John W. Demidovich, a faculty member at the annual Creative Problem Solving Insti­ tute at the State University at Buffalo. Attendees participated in small group work­ shops in communication, group dynamics, and job enrichment. Additionally, the program in­ cluded a “trust walk” in which participants played roles of “leader” and “follower” relating the experience to a boss-subordinate dependen­ cy situation. Exercises in effective listening, cooperation, creative thinking, and specific suggestions to enrich library jobs were enthusiastically tackled by participants. An exercise in presenting an idea to the boss as well as role playing the boss was evaluated by peers at the workshop. The program was concluded with a Saturday morning presentation by Michael Buckland, who was chairman of the ARL Management Review and Analysis Program at Purdue Uni­ versity where he is assistant director for tech­ nical services. • The Pratt Institute Graduate School of Library and Information Science, the na­ tion’s oldest library school in continuous exis­ tence, announces a new postmaster (sixth year) program in urban librarianship and information science leading to an advanced certificate in Li­ brary and Information Studies. The program, approved by the New York State Education 207 Department, will commence in the fall term. In response to the increasing need for profes­ sional leadership and the high degree of man­ power specialization now required by many li­ braries and information centers, GSLIS devel­ oped the program over the past two years through meetings with its alumni and students and with experts from the fields of urban librar- ianship and information science. The program will be especially attractive to practitioners who, because of particular de­ mands of their present positions, or who wish to advance professionally, therefore seek fur­ ther training. For further information interested persons should write Dr. Nasser Sharify, dean of the Graduate School of Library and Information Science, Pratt Institute, Brooklyn, NY 11205. • The library of the University of Illi­ nois at Urbana-Champaign is cooperating with the University’s Educational Psychology depart­ ment in a research study intended to investi­ gate student use of instructional materials. Sponsored by the Office of Naval Research and utilizing eight PLATO IV terminals housed in the Undergraduate Library, the study hopes to evaluate and improve the quality of student study time. The computer will maintain progress and re­ tention records on each student participating in the experimental group; these will be com­ pared with similar records of a control group. From the data generated by the experiment, a systems management manual will be produced by the project originators, Professors Richard C. Anderson, Thomas H. Anderson and H. Richard Smock, all of the University of Illi­ nois Department of Educational Psychology. The project is expected to commence during the fall semester, 1973. • A working organization calling itself the East Asian Bibliographic Group was estab­ lished recently at a conference on East Asian Core Collections, at the Fairhaven campus of Western Washington State College, Belling­ ham. The purposes of the group are the exchange of information and views on, and the promotion of, East Asian library development, particularly in the Pacific Northwest; the undertaking of various bibliographic activities, beginning with the preparation of core collection bibliographies of library materials recommended for high school, public, community college, and under­ graduate college libraries; and the organization of fund-raising activities leading to the acquisi­ tion of core collections for these libraries throughout the Pacific Northwest. Requirements for membership are limited to a willingness to participate. Any individual—li­ brarian, teacher, administrator, student, friend —interested in fostering the development of East Asian library resources is invited to take part. Conference coordinator William H. O. Scott, documents librarian, W.W.S.C., was appointed to continue serving as editor of the first edition of Recommended East Asian Core Collections, and to correlate the work now going forward on preliminary bibliographies of recommended vernacular materials.
