This monograph deals with spectral theory, one of the most important and recently developed areas of functional analysis. The applications of the theory to partial differential equations are extensively con- sidered. Based on the 1959 Polish edition, this mono- graph has been completely revised, modernized and expanded to almost double the size of the original publication. As the first treatment in book form of results which were widely published in journals, this work will be indispensable for many mathematicians, theoretical physicists and all libraries which serve them. $12.00

This first inventory of library automation activities identified 638 libraries in the U.S. and with one or more functions mechanized and 942 with definite automation plans (1,130 different institutions in all, of 6,150 reply- ing). Typical responses show "users" having 3.0 functions mechanized out of the possible 16, and "planners" having 2.3 functions in mind. Serials control, circulation control, accessions lists, and accounting are each represented in more than 30 per cent of the institutions. Geographical concentration of li- brary mechanization was revealed that could facilitate the organization of round tables of libraries to exchange experiences in given functions. Organi- zationally the survey was unique in being the fruition of an SLA Documen- tation Division idea through the services of a commercial research organiza- tion on the joint initiative of and with financing provided by ALA Library Technology Program from Council on Library Resources funds.

Interpretation: Twice as many institutions are planning to implement acquisitions programs as accounting. This is the third largest group of planners and reinforces the need felt by the ALA/LTP in conducting a research study on the acquisitions function in college libraries. The urgency is shown by the desire to implement the plans within the next two years on the part of the institutions surveyed. Figure 6 Functions Mechanized in Order of Frequency

National information networks of the future will formalize and by augmenta- tion and expansion of existing facilities will strengthen the existing fabric of interrelationship between central national libraries and the technical library community. Computers will play an important role in such networks to the extent that they are used in document retrieval systems, and give users access to the total resources of the national document handling system. The com- puter's most important role is to produce multiple outputs of announcements, special lists, printed catalogs, indexes, and similar products and to perform the "housekeeping" and accounting functions for the system. Retrieval and demand searching alone, in most cases, does not justify computerization of information systems unless it is accompanied by dynamic exploitation of the announcement functions.

About the 1967 SLA Convention Theme:

"PUTTING KNOWLEDGE TO WORK" The slogan "Putting Knowledge to Work" was coined fifty years ago by one of SLA's founding fathers, John A. Lapp, then editor of Special Libraries. The journal, we might also remind ourselves, was first issued in January of 1910, during the first year of the Association. This slogan has stood up remarkably well over the years-it is hard to express the spectacular variety of SLA's activities and concerns any better. So this Convention chose it as a theme. Like SLA New York City is a place of infinite variety. Its concerns are legion. In deal- ing with them, one can truly say that the present administration, led by John V. Lindsay, believes in putting knowledge to work. The Mayor has enlisted outstanding brains and resources and put them to work on the city's problems. The magnitude of these problems demands the optimum of human knowledge. This enlightened policy brought into the city government, for eighteen lively months, a denizen of the art world-Thomas P. F. Hoving. Mr. Hoving, who is going to be our keynote speaker on Monday, May 29, was at the time of his appointment Curator of the Metropolitan Museum's famous medieval collection, The Cloisters. As Administrator of Recreational and Cultural Affairs for the City of New York, Mr. Hoving did much more than stage "happenings" and ride a bicycle through Central Park. He put to work by associating with great architects and great landscape architects, and with just plain people, to create a living conception of a city in the twentieth century. What he cared about he called the "nitty-gritty" of people's needs. Lincoln Center-exciting, sometimes controversial, still to be completed-is further evidence of New York's dedication to things of the mind. The inclusion in the complex of theaters and concert halls of the Library and Museum of the Performing Arts seems again to underscore our theme. This beautiful and imaginative library will be the focus of the conventionwide tours planned for Tuesday evening. In our second general session we apply the theme to a different area-automation. We take it for granted that machines are here to stay and that they are terribly relevant to library work. Some of us are deeply embroiled with them and are taking an active hand in creating and developing their unlimited potential for the benefit of library service. Others of us don't see where they fit immediately into our lives and aren't quite sure where we stand or what to do about them. Actually, over and above the importance of information retrieval to our profession, the question of "the machine taking over" is of universal concern nowadays. So it seemed that a catalytic treatment of the subject was overdue in SLA. We are indebted to a high- level task force, representing SLA and AD1 in equal strength, for several hard-working sessions devoted to constructing a presentation we hope will have significance to all of us. We are calling the program Automation in Yozrr Library Future. To keynote our catalysis we will be privileged to hear Charles R. DeCarlo, Director of Automation Research, IBM. Of him a news commentator recently said, "If Professor Marshall McLuhan is the corporate poet laureate of the new technology, IBM executive Charles R. DeCarlo . . . emerged this week as its philosopher." Following this there will be separate ,presentations 1) for the non-specialists by Joe Becker of EDUCOM, and 2) a state-of-the-art for the specialists by Charles P. Bourne of Pro- gramming Services, Inc., Palo Alto. The session will be summed up by Dr. Harold Wooster of U.S. Air Force Research. It is our hope that all this will give us some perspective and some ideas as to how we may go about "Putting Knowledge to Work in a vitally important area. For better or for worse we do have to reckon with the information explosion. ELIZABETHFERGUSON, Convention Program Chairman 1967 Exhibits Help Put Knowledge to Work
