The title and topic of the theme poem is "I wish I had a period seven too." Humanities as a discipline of study has two faces. On the one side it is a matter of viewing the best expressed thought and values — in art, literature, philosophy etc. — of earlier civiliza­ tions or earlier periods of our own, not excluding contemporary work. On the other side, it is a matter of coming to and expressing our own thought and values genuinely. Without the attempt to make old values our own, or at least without the challenge to old values and systems to be humanly valid, humanities may be a dull study of dead matter, though even such a post mortem examination may not be without a certain interest.

CAN/SDI (Canadian/Selective Anyone who wishes further information Dissemination of Information), which is operated by the National Science Library, National Library and Geological Survey of Canada in Ottawa, selects current information from data bases and magnetic tapes containing references from an extensive range of journals, reports, books, patents and conferences and produces a personalized bibliography for anyone who subscribes to its services. An individual requesting information sub­ mits an "interest profile" containing key words, phrases, or word stems which represent his field of research. For example, he may request current information relating to heart disease in sheep. His interest profile may then contain the words "sheep," "coronary," and "cholestrol" etc., which are meaningful in his field of interest. One request for information may contain up to 60 of these "profile terms" without additional charge. In some cases certain codes may be used instead of words to define the topic. Another alternative is to submit names of key persons or organizations who are doing work in his field of interest. CAN/SDI will inform him of any publications by these people or organizations. One may also request Professor Ross Irwin, Engineering, reports that the School of Engineering's exhibit at the Farm a list of items published in a particular and Industrial Equipment Show in Toronto, shown here, received an excellent response. The exhibit was manned by Professor Irwin, Professor A. Meiering, graduate student Bert Hesse and journal. students Tom Core and Brian Grant. Any one or more citations may also be used as a starting-point for data accumulation. The computer will gather a list of all current papers which cite the reference supplied in the profile. Because of the complexity of the process of requesting information, search editors may be consulted to aid the user in completing his interest profile. Search editors, who are trained in the art of profile construction, are located at many centres throughout Canada, and anyone who wishes to make use of CAN/ SDI is notified as to where the nearest one may be found. At the University of Guelph there are three of these editors: Mrs. Ellen Pearson, head of the Social Science and Humanities Division, Miss Nancy Brown, head of the Science Division, and Mrs. Dorothy Clarkson, head of the OVC branch of the library. One body of research available from CAN/ SDI is the PIP (Pollution Information Project) file. "PIP" is one machine readable tape containing over 40,000 references to current Professor F. H.
