  • Oral History Interview with Mary Redmond
    Oral History Interview with Mary Redmond Interview Conducted by Cassandra Hartnett October 18, 2010 Government Information Living Indexes Oral History Project Government Information Living Indexes Oral History Project Interview History Interviewer: Cass Hartnett Transcribers: Cass Hartnett and Angelica Johnson Editor: Cass Hartnett and Mary Redmond Project Detail The oral histories collected as a result of this project will preserve the voices and experiences of government information workers who have invested a good portion of their careers to providing and insuring access to government information. Legal Status Scholarly use of the recordings and transcripts of the interview with Mary Redmond is unrestricted. The interview agreement was signed on April 25, 2011. 2 Government Information Living Indexes Oral History Project About Mary Redmond … Mary Redmond was born in Staten Island, New York and spent much of her childhood in Bensenville, Illinois, where her parents contributed to the founding of that community’s library. She earned an undergraduate degree in French from Rosary College, a Master of Music History from the University of Illinois, and a Master of Arts in Library Science from Rosary College (now Dominican University). Her first professional library appointment was at the Illinois State Library in Springfield, where she served for twelve years. Her Illinois years included the ten months of the Illinois State Constitutional Convention, after which she compiled an index to the convention’s proceedings. On December 31, 1981, she began a new job at the New York State Library. During her 25 years there, Ms. Redmond became active in local, state, and national associations. She worked with other New York State Library staff members to organize conferences in support of New York State and federal documents.

  • Administrative Notes
    ADMINISTRATIVE NOTES Superintendent of Documents LIBRARY PROGRAMS SERVICE Vol. 6, no. 17 GP 3.16/3-2: 6/17 November 1985 RECOMMENDATION OF THE DEPOSITORY LIBRARY COUNCIL TO THE PUBLIC PRINTER (MARCH, 1985) 8. The Council recommends that GPO be encouraged to provide as much selectivity to depository libraries as possible. The appending of new publication series to existing item numbers is costly and cumbersome for depository libraries as well as increasing costs to GPO by distri- buting publications not desired by selective depositories. Response: LPS endeavors to balance library preferences against the countervailing factors of GPO system and resource limitations. In order to expand library selectivity and still preserve this balance, LPS proposes two approaches for alleviating the burden on libraries. The first, a short- term project, will be to ask depository librarians to identify the 50 most problematical item numbers in need of being "split." Once identi- fied, these item numbers will be researched by LPS and split-out where appropriate. The second project will be long-term in nature and will require additional resources not presently available in LPS. The project will be to create a provisional item number under every issuing agency in the List of Classes . Thus, when a new series title is received in LPS, copies will be ordered for all libraries that selected the provisional item number under that particular issuing agency. This procedure will ensure that interested libraries do not miss the initial printing and "buys time" for LPS to survey the libraries with a permanent item number, In cases where the library declines a publication received under a pro- visional item number, the library may return the publication at the library's expense to an address specified by GPO.
