Although ten building or equipment insti- tutes have been held in the last twelve years,inter- est still seems to be high. This year'sattendance was the highest on recordwith a total number of 528. Another first for the 1963 Institute wasthe fact that for the first time the Hospital andInstitution Librar- ies had a major program. The audience for these Institutes iscomposed of three groups. First, there are thearchitects and librarians who are presently engaged inthe advanced planning or construction of a newlibrary. Secondly, librarians and architects who have has., agreat amount of experience in planning librarybuildings attend as a service to their profession.Finally, there is that group which is desirous ofincreasing its knowledge with the hope ofplanning a building in the near future.

Introduction Five hundred and twenty-eightregistrants were present for the LibraryBuildings Institute, spon- sored by the LibraryAdministration Division, American LibraryAssociation, in Chicago, Illinois, on Yu ly 12-13,1963. Not only were there474 li- brarians, including 170from colleges and univer- sitils, 217 from publiclibraries, 67 from schools, and 20 from hospitalsand institutions; there were also 41 architects anddesigners and 13 suppliers. Of this number, 75 wereinvolved as program par- ticipants. The Waldorf Room of theConrad Hilton Hotel was the settingfor the first meeting onFriday morning, which was a generalsession chaired by Thelma Reid, San DiegoCity Schools Library,chair- man of the LADBuildings and EquipmentSection. Speaker for the morning wasKeyes Metcalf, Librarian Emeritus, HarvardUniversity, who dis- cussed the library consultant.While he placed spe- cial emphasis upon theduties of the consultant,he also mentioned the reasonsfor hiring a library con- sultant, the way to selecthim, when he shouldbe brought into the planning,and how much he should be reimbursed for hisefforts. The consultant,said Metcalf, can be of value atthe time of the prelimi- nary investigationsand can continue to adviseuntil the final details ofequipment selection. The place of the consultantin the building team was discussedfurther by a panel moderatedby Ralph Ulveling, DetroitPublic Library.

In 1913 he had joined the New York Public Library, and had expected to work there until retirement. One day early in 1936, however, he was summoned to the office of his superior, Harry Miller Lydenberg, and there introduced to James Bryant Conant, the President of Harvard, who was in New York to discuss with Mr. Lydenberg a candidate to be Librarian of Harvard College, a position that was expected to lead to that of Director of the University Library.

    Mcgoogan Health Sciences Library

    McGoogan Health Sciences Library Fiscal Year 2019 / 2020 This past year was one of the strangest of my career, with the library closing while staff relocated to temporary space in Eppley Science Hall, followed by moving to remote work because of COVID-19. Despite these challenges, we had another successful year of accomplishments, welcoming new faculty and staff and maintaining seamless service during this time. I frequently comment on the value libraries bring to their campuses. I describe how our services and programs meet the university’s mission. This year, I want to focus on how the faculty and staff of the McGoogan Health Sciences Library create that value for UNMC, Nebraska Medicine, and our community partners. • Negotiating, licensing, and maintaining seamless access • Managing a platform for hosting UNMC-produced content, to the thousands of e-journals, ebooks, and databases you including a journal from the Graduate Medical Education office rely on every day • Working with users on 3D printing • Checking out our remaining print collections and anatomical • Providing Nebraska residents with consumer health information models. Our models are heavily used by several of our academic programs • Assisting academic departments, institutes, and centers in understanding the publication efforts of their faculty • Delivering articles, usually within 24 hours, for things the library does not own • Advocating for students by creating the best library for studying, reflection, and collaboration • Partnering with faculty on systematic reviews

    The Separate Undergraduate Library

    ELIZABETH MILLS The Separate Undergraduate Library A new phenomenon came into being in 1949 with the opening of the first separate library for undergraduates in a university. Many have now been built, and more are planned. This paper discusses some of the thinking that preceded their development. It analyzes three of them—Lamont, Michigan, and UCLA—in some detail, and speculates as to their future.

BEFORE AND AFTER CD-ROM: lTS IMPACT ON THE MANAGEMENT OF RESOURCES IN AN AFRICAN LffiRARY Podmore, Ann University of Zimbabwe, Zimbabwe The University of Zimbabwe Medical Library (UZML), a branch of the Main University Library, is part of the Medical Faculty, which is situated in the Parirenyat- wa Hospital complex in Harare . The library grew from a small collection, started in 1963 when the first medical students were enrolled. lts expansion was greatly accelerated by the donation of the collections of the Central African Journalof Medicine and the Mashonaland Branch of the British Medical Association (now the Zimbabwe Medical Association). These books and journals helped to establish one of the best stocked medicallibraries in Africa'. A condition of the donation was that the library's facilities would be available to all medical practitioners in the country. A further development of this responsibility occurred in 1983, when the library was declared the National Focal Point for health sciences information. This means that anyone registered with the Health Professions Councilmay use the library, and anyone needing information on health-related topics may request assistance.
