ACRL News Issue (B) of College & Research Libraries 236 / C&RL News CE101, Librarians as Supervisors, was pre­ sented by Maureen Sullivan in Syracuse, New York, as a local presentation. Despite awful weather, 57 people attended. Service Contract negotiations are underway for the Manual of Output Measures for Academic L i­ braries. Advisory information is provided regularly to members and non-members on a variety of topics. To give a flavor of the “reference work” done, here are a few recent topics: names of theater library consultants; how to handle “problem student pa­ trons” in academic libraries; mailing lists for media specialists; helping a P hiladelphia Enquirer re­ porter prepare an article on academic libraries. Advocacy and liaison The third of three seminars on Campus Informa­ tion Systems was held under the auspices of the As­ sociation of American Colleges and OCLC in Po­ mona, California, February 22-23. Eight colleges participated by sending teams including their pres­ ident, vice president for academic affairs, com­ puter center director, library director, and an in­ terested faculty member. Results are an increased awareness of the technology and of the state of the art in “integrating” campus systems. The trend is toward centralizing administrative functions, de­ centralizing academic computing, and linking all through networking. A mailing went to 1,600 STS members about the privatization of NTI S, encouraging them to take action on this crucial item. Research and publication The latest version of our current publications list has been published. The list includes 49 titles, as well as 19 free standards and guidelines. Authorship work on Books fo r College Libraries is in the final stages. Pages will begin to be deliv­ ered to ALA Publishing in April. Special pre­ publication price is $375 for all six volumes. Management The ACRL Budget for 1989 has officially been presented to ALA. According to decisions made by the Board at the Midwinter Meeting, we will re­ duce the fund balance by creating the Special Grants Fund and partly supporting the Output Measures Manual; other than those exceptions, revenues are projected to cover expenses. The ACRL Budget and Finance Committee has been working on the ACRL Financial Plan. A draft will be ready for the ACRL Executive Committee this month. The ACRL Quality Circle undertook a study of telephone service in the ACRL office area in order to improve both the service to callers and the way work is handled. —JoAn S.
