NON-BOOK MATERIALS One of the difficult jobs in librarianship is that of non-book materials. If we never had anything to handle but books and cards, our work would be much easier, as we can always fit a book onto a shelf somewhere, and can easily drop a card into the catalog. The library was never meant to be a museum for objects, but presumably recorded communications, in whatever form they may appear, are legitimate material for preservation in libraries. It used to be that a few pictures and pamphlets comprised the extent of these non-book materials, but now we have to struggle with phonograph records, tapes, wires, filmstrips and what not. Each category carries its own problems, and it is probably well not to catalog permanently at first. In fact, until a given collection of materials grows to the point that consultation and location of given items is becoming a problem, there is no good purpose served by detailed cataloging, any more than when the book collection occupied shelving on only one wall, and one could glance over the entire collection in a minute or two. But this simplicity tends to disappear when the collections in each category begin to expand. In the average library where the book collection is the principle interest, there is much to be said for a combined audio-visual catalog apart from the book catalog, although there is no fundamental hindrance to a combined catalog of all materials, even including indexed periodical articles and sermons. Some instructions would have to be given the clientele by means of explanatory cards and posters, regardless of what kind of a catalog a library has; and there should be at the catalog, or catalogs, a guide to the location of the various sections of the stack and storage areas. The uninstructed would probably not think that he should look for most projected audio-visual materials under the title, as the main entry. The practice of the Library of Congress of indicating the nature of these materials as a descriptive note in parenthesis is helpful, as for instance, The Air Chaplain (Motion picture), or Nicodemas (Filmstrip). Probably call letters, if used, would also refer to the kind of material, or the section of the audio-visual stack for each category. Some of the following designations have been suggested as broad classi­ fication by category: F (for films), Mic or MiFi (for microfilms), R or Rec (for records) and T and W for tape and wire, if these words are not spelled out. The real thrill comes when one is able to go to the catalog and find his subject listed under a number of different categories, such as a film, a filmstrip, perhaps a few pictures and a taped dramatization on such a subject as the of the loaves and fishes, for instance. But this is the direction in which we are headed. A a M&L ¿0. AN ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY OF THE

HISTORY OF

FROM SCHLEIERMACHER TILL 1951

Compiled by BERNARD RAMM, B.D., Ph.D. Professor of Philosophy, Bethel Theological Seminary Edited by Arnold D. Ehlert, Th.D.

This is primarily a bibliography of the , not on the books that made history in theological thought (although we have taken the to mention some of these). The problem of limitation is not easy, as the precise dif­ ference between an exegetical theologian, a systematic theologian and a philosophical theologian is often difficult to make. Certain books are mentioned with the comment "background,” which means that they are not strictly theological but have interest in the development of theology. The list is limited to works in English.

London [etc.] Longmans, Green and Co., Ltd., 1927. xxxv, 571 p. (Bampton lectures, 1924.) Most of the work is historical, but the last two chapters and appendix on Tennant contain modern materials.

Y. and London, Harper [1943] xxix, 186 p. An edited republication of two former works: A Psychological Approach to Theology (1931) and Realistic Theology (1934). In the introduction he tells the formative influences on his own thought, and in the finale he indicates the major theses of Realistic Theology. He twice admits that Machen’s views are far more relevant today than those of . First chapter is good histori­ cal summary of American theology to serve as an introduction to contemporary theology.

A series of essays by some of the outstanding theologians and philosophers of religion in America indicating the turn of the tide away from Liberalism to Real­ ism.
