S. Office of Education. The purpose of the study was to collect extensive information on existing academic library consortia and to develop a set of guidelines for planning, developing, operating, and evaluating a library consortium. One product of the study was the "Directory of Academic Library Consortia", which is LI 004173. The decision to produce a supplement came out of a desire to identify and describe a wider range of groups that are participating in the growing movement toward library cooperation. The supplement project was designed to include a greater variety as well as a larger number of cooperating library groups. To this end, the criteria for inclusion were significantly relaxed. Three basic criteria for inclusicn were used in the preparation of the supplement. Cooperatives that were included (1) were not included in the directory; (2) had at least one academic library member; and (3) were actively engaged in, or actively planning to engage in, cooperative library activities.

Part III is a listing, alphabetically, by general subject category or type of library. Within the subjects the libraries are arranged by country, state, city, department and bureau.

Three years after graduation from Clemson University he entered the US Air Force as a pilot. He began his operational career flying RF-86 Sabres and earned two Distinguished Flying Crosses for reconnaissance missions over Korea.

Strickland Interview Summary MilColl OH 833 Interviewee: Wilton W. Strickland Interviewer: Sion Harrington III Interview Date: February 11, 2003 Interview Location: Tarboro, N.C. Interview Runtime: 1:28:07 Biographical Sketch Wilton Wayne Strickland was born on June 10, 1934, in Nashville, N.C., to William Berry and Tempe Vada Lewis Strickland. He was the youngest of eight siblings, and was raised on a farm in Nash County, N.C. He attended North Carolina State College (present-day North Carolina State University) from 1952 to 1956, where he participated in the Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (ROTC). Strickland entered active duty in the U.S. Air Force in February 1957. Initially an Aviation Cadet recruit, Strickland was unable to continue with the program because he had married shortly before he went on active duty, which went against the Aviation Cadet Training program rules. He reverted to enlisted status, and attended basic training at Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio, Texas. Strickland then attended mechanics training at Sheppard Air Force Base in Wichita County, Texas. He served as an air craft mechanic in the 98th Bombardment Wing at Lincoln Air Force Base, Nebraska. In 1959, Strickland entered Officers Candidate School at Lackland AFB, and would receive his commission on February 15, 1960. He then attended navigator pre-flight training at Harlingen Air Force Base, Texas; bombing navigation training at Mather Air Force Base in Sacramento County, California; and aircrew survival training at Stead Air Force Base in Washoe County, Nevada.

You now have a program. We designed this Historical Handbook of National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency Leaders as a useful reference work for anyone who needs fundamental information on the leaders of the NGA. We have included those colleagues over the years who directed the National Imagery and Mapping Agency (NIMA) and the component agencies and services that came together to initiate NGA-NIMA history in 1996. The NGA History Program Staff did not celebrate these individuals in this setting, although in reading any of these short biographies you will quickly realize that we have much to celebrate. Rather, this practical book is designed to permit anyone to reach back for leadership information to satisfy any personal or professional requirement from analysis, to heritage, to speechwriting, to retirement ceremonies, to report composition, and on into an endless array of possible tasks that need support in this way. We also intend to use this book to inform the public, especially young people and students, about the nature of the people who brought NGA to its present state of expertise.
