Our concerns are two. In the first place, and despite the flawed collections and resources mentioned so often by students and scholars, there have been and continue to be strong, specialized, and informed efforts to collect materials representative of the moments and the groups addressed in our conference. We thus consider how a number of specialized library collections have developed: the conditions necessary for creating such collections; their nature; and, albeit only implicitly, how we can continue to form them. Our second concern centers on a different and more troubling aspect of the interplay between research libraries and Latin Americanist scholarship. Here we address our sometimes deliberate, sometimes inadvertent, but always inescapable role as gatekeepers. As we shall see, libraries do control much of the type and the flow of research materials available to students and scholars. This control takes several forms. One manifestation involves bibliographic access to items already held. Another manifestation centers on the library profession's intensifying efforts to modernize. Too often these efforts would treat all materials, all disciplines, and all collections according to a model devised for fields characterized by technologically innovative forms and formats. Cooperation, to touch on another aspect, is the current panacea for limited acquisitions budgets. Yet cooperation has its limits, both within institutions and on a larger scale. We are likewise limited in our efforts, whether individual or collective, to acquire the nontraditional materials identified throughout this conference. The nature of all these limitations, as they affect both librarians and scholars, must be understood if we are to divine responses and devise solutions. D.C.H. 413 /.

PRESERVACIÓN DE LA CULTURA CUBANA EN LA BIBLIOTECA DE LA UNIVERSIDAD DE MIAMI Lesbia Orta Varona La Biblioteca de la Universidad de Miami recibió y acogió en su seno a los bibliotecarios cubanos que empezaron a llegar a esta nueva comunidad de exiliados, desde la década de los setenta. Su director, Archie L. McNeal, comprendió y apoyó moral y financieramente el esfuerzo de adquirir material para servir a estos nueves usuarios. Todo esto se efectuó a pesar de que la Universidad es privada y sólo tiende a servir las necesidades de la comunidad universitaria. Esta visión de futuro sigue siendo parte fundamental de la política del nuevo director, Frank Rodgers, quien también brinda su apoyo a nuestros esfuerzos de hacer de nuestra colección cubana, una de las más completas de la nación. El desarrollo de esta colección no sólo abarca material publicado en Cuba o sobre Cuba antes de la revolución, sino que amplía este ámbito a lo que Cuba produce actualmente y todo aquello que ha surgido fuera de Cuba desde 1959 hasta el presente. Para la mejor comprensión de esta política, es necesario un recuento histórico del desarrollo de las distintas etapas del exilio cubano. Primera etapa: Antecedentes, 1959; estampida política y desorientación. Los cubanos de este período tenían como primeros objetivos trabajar y subsistir. Su estado psicológico giraba en torno a la convicción de una vuelta a la isla dentro de corto tiempo. Surge el mito de las 90 millas. Pasados unos años, la realidad comenzó a perfilarse. Desde 1961, con la situación posterior a la Bahía de Cochinos, el cubano comenzó a trabajar en una nueva sociedad sin por ello olvidar la tierra que dejaba atrás. Este fue el momento en que surgió el interés por mantener vivas nuestras tradiciones y nuestras costumbres. Surge así lo que yo llamo "La Etapa de la Añoranza,"
