FEBRUARY 1959 STANDS ALONE! THE TRUE UNIT TYPE OF BOOKSTACK WITH STABLE RIGIDITY !

LIBRARY BUREAU STEEL BOOKSTACK TRADEHARK A freestanding but rigid bookstack that resists motion or distortion is a true unit type bookstack.. .it's a LIBRARYBUREAU Steel Bookstack! Only LIBRARYBUREAU integrally joins a unique steel stabilizer to the uprights of the bookstack to provide permanently stable ri~idity. As a result, even if shelves are loaded unevenly, there is not the slight- est vertical deflection or horizontal variance from the original setting. It's a true unit type bookstack because you still have interchangeable shelves of various widths. And naturally, there are the cost-saving advantages of standard construction. Yet, there's more - an eighth shelf - which may be easily attached on standard 90" high uprights. You'll require fewer units to accommo- date your present books or this eighth shelf can be added later as your collection expands. Write for full details in a colorfully illustrated brochure LB741.

wo SUPPLEMENTARY chapters were added to the Russian translation of W. H. Kee. Tsom's classic book "Helium" which was published in the USSR in 1949, after the death of Dr. Keesom. The first chapter is a concise resume of the Landau theory of superfluidity; the second chapter reports in considerable detail the experimental work in this field conducted by Peter Kapitsa and E. L. Andronikashvili. The results of recent experi- ments on the superfluidity of helium make this supplement of major contemporary interest to all researchers in low temperature physics.

FEBRUARY 1959 Transportation Literature, 1958

ITH THE FULL KNOWLEDGE that no list can satisfy or meet the needs of everyone, W this compiler still has had the temerity to select and list here some of the books, pamphlets and articles in the field of transportation which he considered significant and which, it is hoped, will be useful and of interest to others working in or interested in the subject. It is impossible to list all the worthwhile publications; many purposely have been omitted because they are so universally known, and inclusion or exclusion is no criterion of usefulness or value. The chief emphasis is on domestic publications, but a few foreign titles are included. Numbers in the text refer to specific items listed under References at the end of this article.

78 SPECIAL LIBRARIES Invitation to ~tlanticCity May 31-June 3, 1959

SLA Fiftieth Anniversary Convention Chalf onte - Haddon h all

Perhaps you wish to reminisce about the past-learn how to sell the value of your library services-know how to do a better iob in a shorter time-or iust to talk "shop." If you want to do any of these things, plan to attend the 50th Anniversary Convention. The 50th Anniversary Convention will be a time for celebration and a time of planning for the future. It will be a time of reminiscing and of setting goals for tomorrow. In these days of specialization, automation and space travel, it is more important than ever that we special librarians find the easiest and fastest way of storing and disseminat- ing information to our clienteles. Our planning for the future will concentrate on just this-planning ways to make our jobs run smoother and ways to serve our clienteles more efficiently. For those who come early to Atlantic City, the 50th Anniversary celebration will com- mence Sunday, May 31. An open house for those attending their first Convention will be held in the late afternoon. In the evening you can laugh at the librarians of the past and wonder at those of the future at a special 50th Anniversary entertainment. After the opening session on Monday morning, there will be a luncheon to honor those selected for the Hall of Fame. The Divisions are planning excellent programs of interest to their own groups during Monday afternoon. You will not want to miss your Division afternoon session nor its evening get-together. Tuesday there will be a opportunity to learn how our Association might profit from experience of others and to ask ourselves "What do we plan for the future?" In the afternoon the Divisions will gather and meet in small groups to discuss methods and their plans for the future-how they can help each other and the profession. The Annual Business Meeting will be Wednesday morning. In the afternoon there will be an opportunity to learn what motivates the successful special librarian and the "boss;" to learn how you can plan for the future in your own profession. The big celebration, of course, will be Wednesday night when our Banquet will take place. Post-convention library visits are being planned by the Divisions and Convention Chap- ters for Thursday and Friday. All in all, this is one Convention you cannot afford to miss. Will we see you in Atlantic City? GRETCHEND. LITTLE Convention Chairman, 1959

FEBRUARY 1959 79 Philadelphia Chapter Libraries

The area covered by libraries in the Philadelphia Chapter of SLA includes Philadelphia proper and its suburbs, Camden, New Jersey, the Wilmington, Delaware, vicinity and as far west as Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Prospective visitors with only one day at their leisure will find it to their advantage to concentrate on a specific section whether it be inside or outside the city of Philadelphia. All areas are best reached from Atlantic City by going directly to Philadelphia, except when going to Wilmington.

Philadelphia TRAIN:Main station is 30th Street, which may be reached by Pennsylvania-Reading Sea- shore Lines from Atlantic City (time, 1% hours) and by Pennsylvania Railroad north and south. The Pennsylvania Railroad Suburban Station is at 16th Street and Pennsylvania Boulevard. BUS: Public Service Coordinated Transport Co. of New Jersey (time, 1% hours from At- lantic City). Greyhound Line in and out of Philadelphia. The main bus terminal is in the Transportation Building in Penn Center. CAR: Take U.S. Route 30 through Camden, New Jersey, across the Benjamin Franklin (toll) Bridge. Camden Same as for Philadelphia. All transportation makes a stop here before crossing the bridge to Philadelphia. Wilmington The quickest route from Atlantic City is by car, since train and bus connections in Phila- delphia require a wait of from 30 to 40 minutes. TRAIN:Same as for Philadelphia, making connections at 30th Street station (time 1/2 hour). Bus: Same as for Philadelphia, making connections at Transportation Building in Phila- delphia (time, 3/4 hour). CAR:Take U.S. Route 40 over the Delaware Memorial (toll) Bridge to U.S. Route 13. Details on time schedules and parking facilities will be available at the Convention Information Desk. In Philadelphia, visitors are invited to make the Free Library of Phila- delphia, Logan Square, their headquarters. (Phone RI 6-6070.) Following is a list of Philadelphia Chapter libraries which will be open to SLA visitors following the Fiftieth Anniversary Convention on Thursday, June 4, and Friday, June 5, 1959. The list is arranged by geographical location. Detailed information on reaching individual libraries will be available at the Convention Information Desk. For library visits outside the city of Philadelphia, it would be wise to contact the librarians of these libraries so that proper arrangements can be made.

Post-Convention Session On International Cooperation In Documentation C. K. Bauer, incoming chairman of the Sci-Tech Division, has announced that plans have been made with representatives of other Divisions of SLA to hold a Post-Convention Session in Atlantic City on International Cooperation In Documentation. AEC, OTS, UNESCO, the State Department, the Library of Congress, ASTIA and other agencies of the United States as well as representatives of foreign governments have been invited to participate. The program will be concerned not only with existing systems and methods of cooperation but also with methods of increasing and improving this cooperation. The formal program will be announced prior to SLA's 50th Anniversary Convention so that all who attend the Convention will have the opportunity to arrange for participa- tion in the Post-Convention Session.
