How the necessarylibrary materials are selected and, of equal importance, how information concerning the arrival and availability of these materials is disseminated can most effectively be accomplished by a bibliographer.l I * This paper, and the reaction paper by Helen welch Tuttle which follows it, were presented at the joint program meeting of the Reference Services Division and the Alquisitions Section of the Resources and Technical Services Division, on Monday, Association, Kansas June zt, 1968, at the annual Conference of the American Library I I Volume t3, Number z, Spring t969 . 163 why should _ _- a librarian be responsible for book selection? Herbert s. white provided a brief, but exiellent, rationale for the ribrarian as selector when he wrote: The remarkable increment in the pace, intensity, and activities of modern academic life which leaves mosr faculty members wiih little time or inclination 2 Herbert s. white, "operation of Libraries without Library committees," special Libraries, L fiuly rygg), z4r-g, ' 16+ Librarry Resourcesdt Technical Seraices for book selection;the great growth in the sizeand complexity of library col- lectionsand of world publishing,to the baffiementof the "old-fashioned,"part- time faculty book selector;and, if it is chieflypoverty that makesdedicated book selectorsof faculty, he becomesdisinterested and unconcernedwhen his library nearsthe million volume figure.3 It is into this situation that the injection of a bibliographer's talents can best promote systematicpolicies and programs for the orderly enrichment and development of the library's collection(s). Already many of the major university libraries, including Columbia, Cornell, Flarvard, Indiana, Michigan, Stanford, UCLA, and Washington (at Seattle), have trans- ferred considerable book selection responsibilities to area or subject bibliographers. Indiana alone has a staff of fourteen "subject specialists" -bibliographers for my purposes-who devote about 7o percent of their time to book selection duties.a UCLA has nine full-time bibliographers who devote all of their time to book selection duties. The bibliographers at UCLA are quite well paid, some with salaries equivalent to those of major department heads. They come in close contact with various faculty members and research staff on a regular basis, and often travel abroad- at library expense-for lengthy periods of time in pursuit of their duties. At this point, there are many who may be thinking, "Yes, all that you have said is fine, but what about faculty opposition?" That is a very good point. Faculty opposition to book selection by librarians has been the r experience and may continue to occur at many academic libraries. How- ever, their support for the programs at Indiana and especially at UCLA indicates a growing willingness by faculty to be relieved of book selection responsibilities. Closely related to this is the question of book fund allo- cation. Will the library control funds, or will the faculty? To secure fac- ulty cooperation in these matters, they must first learn to confide in the abilities and talents of the bibliographer, ancl to abide by his decisions. Fully realizing the necessityfor faculty cooperation and confidence in any program of book selection or library book fund allocations by li- brarians, I believe that such confidence can most easily be achieved when predicated upon librarians with specialized backgrounds, either through education or other experiences and training, and a well-defined collec- tion policy. The question of a collection policy will be discussedlateq of more immediate concern are the bibliographer's qualifications. fn discussing a bibliographer's background, there is a greater need to devote attention to matters orher than the Master of Library Sciencede- gree.

  • This Keyword List Contains Indian Ocean Place Names of Coral Reefs, Islands, Bays and Other Geographic Features in a Hierarchical Structure
    CoRIS Place Keyword Thesaurus by Ocean - 8/9/2016 Indian Ocean This keyword list contains Indian Ocean place names of coral reefs, islands, bays and other geographic features in a hierarchical structure. For example, the first name on the list - Bird Islet - is part of the Addu Atoll, which is in the Indian Ocean. The leading label - OCEAN BASIN - indicates this list is organized according to ocean, sea, and geographic names rather than country place names. The list is sorted alphabetically. The same names are available from “Place Keywords by Country/Territory - Indian Ocean” but sorted by country and territory name. Each place name is followed by a unique identifier enclosed in parentheses. The identifier is made up of the latitude and longitude in whole degrees of the place location, followed by a four digit number. The number is used to uniquely identify multiple places that are located at the same latitude and longitude. For example, the first place name “Bird Islet” has a unique identifier of “00S073E0013”. From that we see that Bird Islet is located at 00 degrees south (S) and 073 degrees east (E). It is place number 0013 at that latitude and longitude. (Note: some long lines wrapped, placing the unique identifier on the following line.) This is a reformatted version of a list that was obtained from ReefBase. OCEAN BASIN > Indian Ocean OCEAN BASIN > Indian Ocean > Addu Atoll > Bird Islet (00S073E0013) OCEAN BASIN > Indian Ocean > Addu Atoll > Bushy Islet (00S073E0014) OCEAN BASIN > Indian Ocean > Addu Atoll > Fedu Island (00S073E0008)

It is one of the highest anthropogenically impacted coasts in the Middle East region, where rapid human activities are likely to degrade these naturally diverse but stressed ecosystems. (2) Methods: Various water quality parameters were measured to assess the current status and conditions of 2 GoA seawater including pH, total dissolved solids (TDS), total alkalinity (TA), Cl−, NO3−, SO4 −, 3 + 2+ 2+ + + PO4 −, NH4 , Ca , Mg , Na ,K , Sr, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Pb, and Zn. (3) Results: The pH values indicated basic coastal waters. The elevated levels of TDS with an average of about 42 g/L indicated highly saline conditions.
