ACRL News Issue (B) of College & Research Libraries 391 P e r s o n n e l Richard Alban Davis returned to The John Crerar Library on September 9, 1968, where he will supervise the Midwest Regional Medical Library established at Crerar under a grant from the National Li­ brary of Medicine, National Institute of Health. During his prior service at Crerar he served as chief of Technology Reference Service followed by a year as chief of the SLA Translations Center. Since leaving Mr. Davis Crerar in October 1959, he has had a variety of assignments which will serve as pertinent experience for his new position. For one year, he was Librarian in the Laboratories for Applied Sciences at the Uni­ versity of Chicago, before joining the faculty of Drexel Institute of Technology, Graduate School of Library Science. There he taught courses on “Organization and Administration of Special Libraries,” “Reference Materials in Science and Technology,” “Introduction to In­ formation Science,” and “Organization and Ad­ ministration of Information Centers.” Since September 1966, he has been working on his doctorate at the Graduate Library School, University of Chicago, and teaching a course in “Organization, Evaluation, and Use of Library Materials: Natural Sciences,” and conducting a “Seminar on Organization and Administration of Special Libraries.” For two summers he served as a consultant in the Office of Education in Washington, in the Educational Resources Information Center (ER IC ) and in Library and Information Sciences Research. During the summer of 1968, he conducted a “Seminar on Reference Services” at Rosary College. Even his work experience prior to formal entry into librarianship is a reminder of a state­ ment made by the late Sydney B. Mitchell, dean of the library school in Berkeley, “Almost any work you have ever done will be useful to you as a Librarian.” Dick worked as editor of The Farmers’ W eekly Review, as a life insur­ ance agent, as a supervisor in the Bio-Process Company in Joliet, Illinois, and as flight officer in the Navy. He is welcomed back to the Crerar staff.—Herman H. Henkle, The John Crerar Library. A P P O I N T M E N T S Mrs. Cathryn Abernathy is now an assist­ ant librarian, Columbia University.

Huron Street, Chicago 60611. Price, $1.50 each; $1.25 each in quantities of ten copies or more. SOUTH AFRICAN NATIONAL BIBLIOGRAPHY Following on the outstanding success achieved by the Deutsche Bibliothek in Frank­ furt and the Zentralstelle für maschinelle Dokumentation in producing Deutsche Bibli­ ographie with the help of the computer, at the same time maintaining the typographical ap­ pearance desirable in a national bibliography, the S.A.N.B. is the second national bibliography to be produced by a similar process. Once again the programming is being undertaken by the Zentralstelle für maschinelle Dokumenta­ tion. The great difference in contrast to the Deutsche Bibliographie is that it is arranged according to D.D.C. classification numbers, un­ avoidable in a land where publications appear in up to twenty languages. The problem of diacritical signs which the use of a variety of languages entails, and the adjustment of in­ dexes, were special problems requiring atten­ tion. The first quarterly volume of the S.A.N.B. for 1968, prepared by the computer, has al­ ready appeared. The S.A.N.B. appears in three quarterly volumes, a yearly and perennial cu­ mulation, and is published by the State Li­ brary, P.O. Box 397, Pretoria, Transvaal, Re­ public of South Africa. ■ ■
