Deal, President, SALALM Moderator: Mx. Donald F. Wisdom Rapporteur: Mrs. Linda Gibson Mr. Deal called the meeting to order and introduced Mr. Michael Rosenstock of the University of Toronto's Department of Book Selection, the "working host" of the Seminar. Mr. Rosenstock introduced D7. R. H. Blackburn, Chief Librarian of the University of Toronto Library who welcomed the delegates and expressed his honor at the Seminar's choosing to meet there. He mentioned the construction of the new Humanities and Social Science Research Center to be completed in three years, and stated that SALALM was the second international library conference to be held re- cently in Toronto, the first being a conference of music librarians. Mr. Rosenstock then introduced Professor Kurt Levy of the Department of Italian and Spanish Studies of the University of Toronto, Chairman of the Latin American program, and President of the Canadian Association of Latin American Studies. Dr. Levy welcomed the delegates on behalf of the University and suggested the mutual ignorance of Canada and Latin America toward one another might be changed and subs- tituted for one of intelligence both in politics and in the acquisition of Latin American materials, in which he considered Canadian libraries underdeveloped. He said that such firsts as this conference were very important. Mrs. Marietta Daniels Shepard introduced the rapporteurs and announced that to avoid some of the confusion that arose this year over committee meetings and the printing of working papers, a preliminary session would be held next year to iron out such problems. She added that the hosts of next year's meeting Missez Elsa Note: Resolutions and recommendations of the first fourteen Seminars are ci+ed as: CH-(I, Chinsegut Hill, Fla., 1956); A-(II, Austin, Tex., 1957); B-(III, Berkeley, Calif., 1958); W-(IV, Washington, D.C., 1959); NY-(V, New York City, 1960); Ca- (VI, Carbondale, Ill., 1961); 0G-(VII, Coral Gables, Fla., 1962); M-(VIII, Madison, Wis., 1963); St. L.-(IXISt.Louis, Mo., 1964); D-(X, Detroit, Mich., 1965); CU- (XI, Columbia University, New York City, 1966); UCLA-(XII, University of Calif., Los Angeles, Calif., 1967); KU-(XIII, University of Kansas, Lawrence, Kansas, 1968); PR- I(XIV; Caribbean Regional Library- CODECA, The University of Puerto Rico, Rio Piedras Campus, San Juan, Puerto Rico, 1969).

I. PROGRESS REPORT ON SALALM RECOMMENDATIONS. 1970 Working Paper: No. 1 "Progress Report on the Seminar on the Acquisition of Latin American Library Materials, 1970," by Marietta Daniels Shepard A. ACQUISITIONS Committee on Acquisitions (Ch-3; B-2; NY-218; Ca-1; CG-31; M-3; D- 5,7,8,9; CU-10; UCLA-6) David Zubatsky Mr. David Zubatsky was introduced as the new Chairman of the Committee on Acquisitions. He spoke warmly of retiring Chairman and Associate Director of Cornell University Libraries, Dr. Felix Reichmann, and of his many contributions to the work of SALALM. Significant New Acquisitions (Ca -l; CG-14; M-112; St.L-4; CU-7; KU-9,10; PR-819,34) Jane Garner Working Paper: No. 2 "Significant Acquisitions of Latin American Materials in U.S. Libraries, 1969/70," by Jane Garner Miss Garner reported that Working Paper No. 2 contains the results of a survey she carried out during the year. Replies received after it was prepared will be incorporated into the Final Report and Working Papers. Next year's report will in- clude a summary of all previous ones. She requested the advice of Seminar partic- ipants concerning the paper and the questionnaire. Latin American Cooperative Acjuisitions Project (LACAP) (CH-3; W-1; Ca-214; CG-15,18; M-9110,18; St.L -6,31; D-4; CU-8; UCLA -l; KU-213; PR- 3,6,7) Dominick Coppola Mr. Coppola reported that in 1969-70 LACAP received 5,000 imprints which is 10 per cent more than the previous year and twice what it was six or seven years ago. In Rio de Janeiro the Project has been closed due to administrative difficult- ies, but service will be continued through a dealer who has engaged a librarian for selection and who has contact with the Library of Congress office. All acquisitions from Argentina are now sent by air freight, and Mr. Coppola is making arrangements to get materials from other countries by air also.A question addressed to Mr. Coppola from the floor was answered to the effect that one copy of each LACAP title was sent by air to LC while the multiple copies were sent by sur- face mail. Returns of books from libraries continues to be a problem, but is not as serious as it was and the inventory of books that has accumulated over the past 5 decade is now available at advantageous terms. There is not a title list, but the 25,000 titles in multiple copies are on open shelves for selection by interested libraries.

  • Knowledge River: a Case Study of a Library and Information Science Program Focusing on Latino and Native American Perspectives
    Knowledge River: A Case Study of a Library and Information Science Program Focusing on Latino and Native American Perspectives Patricia Montiel-Overall and Sandra Littletree Abstract This article discusses the development of Knowledge River, a pro- gram at the University of Arizona School of Information Resources and Library Science established through several Institute of Mu- seum and Library Services grants designed to recruit Latino and Native American students to the library and information science (LIS) profession. Knowledge River (KR) was designed as a national model for increasing diversity in information organizations and LIS programs. The article describes the KR model and elements of the program that have increased its success. Included are participation in a residential cohort, real-world library work experiences, and formal mentoring by KR graduates and other ethnic minorities in the field. Knowledge River has served as a catalyst for increasing awareness of diversity issues and multiple perspectives in addressing issues in the LIS field. Knowledge River has also resulted in a requirement that all LIS students enroll in at least one diversity course. This article also provides a retrospective analysis of the KR model and presents a theoretical framework for developing future LIS diversity programs such as KR. Introduction Historically, library and information science professionals have primarily reflected mainstream populations. However, changing demographics in the United States have resulted in rethinking how library and informa- tion science (LIS) services are delivered and who delivers them. To ac- complish diversification of the LIS profession Wheeler (2005) explains that “librarians must possess a level of cultural competency that enables them to function successfully and to provide effective information services LIBRARY TRENDS, Vol.
