Since Library ResourcesU Technical Sentices has never lost track of its volume numbering, this issue can safely be described as the first of our silver anniversary issues. For each of the four numbers of the twenty-fifth volume the editorial board has planned special fearures. To welcome the new Preservation of Library Materials Section to RTSD, we invited Pamela Darling and Sherelyn Ogden ro prepare a quarter-century retrospective on the preservation of library resources in the United States, which appears as rhe first article in this issue. The next five papers give emphasis to the fact that for technical ser- vices librarians one of the most important developmenrs of the past twenty-five years has been the genesis and growth of OCLC, Inc. These articles, read together, have much to say about the dream and the reality and reaffirm the old adage that a chain is no srronger than its weakest link. A look ahead at the next quarter-century can be glimpsed in de Klerk's article on barcoding, in Svenonius' paper on directions for research, and in Wooster's bit of whimsv on libraries in and manuals will implement our new policy of announcing books in the .RISD Newsletterand publishing only subsrantive review articles in LRTS. In the October/December issue the winning papers in the LRTS Silver Anniversary Competition will be featured, assuming some en- tries are received, and a twenty-five-year cumulative index will com- plete the silver anniversary volume. Few editors, on the occasion of a silver anniversary, can resist the temptation to look backward. In yielding to that remptarion, this edi- tor decided to contribute a minuscule bit to research. Olsgaard and Olsgaard, in a paper published in College €:l Research Libraries, com- pared "Authorship in Five Library Periodicals."t LRTS was not one of 4 / Library ResourcesU TechnicalSentices . JantnrylMarch 1981 published volumes, give the same information about LRTS, as was given in their tables 1,4, and 5. Their procedures, described in ad- mirable detail in the article, have been followed with two exceptions. Excluded from their study were book reviews and letters; in addition to the book reviews and letters, annual reports signed by the chairper- son have been excluded from this compilation. They excluded Mis- souri from the list of geographical locations. Perhaps the editors of the five journals they surveyed decline a paper if the author is from Missouri, but LR?S does not. The time period the Olsgaards selected covered the calendar years 1968-77. To make the data for LRTS com- parable, that decade has been isolated in the compilations.

It's doubtful that these data can even be accurately summarized by quoting Paul Dunkin's short end to a long discourse: "But, my dear," said the Hatter with a frown, "Was there progress?" "Well," said Alice earnestly, "There was change."4 In their suggestions for follow-up research, the Olsgaards saw the need for an examination of the totality of manuscripts submitted to a journal rather than just those accepted for publication. Table 4 is offered as a beginning. No editor worthy of the title would select a paper on the basis of the author's sex, geographical location, or occupation, unless some one of these categories was being specially featured. How then are papers selected? The practices currently followed for the selection of papers offered for publication in LR?S are these. If, on first reading, the edi- tor concludes that the subject matter is relevant to the interests of technical services librarians and that the paper will not require an in- ordinate amount of editorial attention, the paper is sent to a referee for evaluation. The referee is not informed of the identity of the au- thor, nor is the author informed of the identity of the referee. The referee is asked to evaluate the paper in terms of its quality, readabil- ity, timeliness, and potential interest and value for IRTS readers and to recommend for or against publication in this journal. If, as occa- sionally happens, the referee's opinion differs from that previously reached by the editor (and unknown to the referee), a third opinion may be requested.

  • Librarian-Obituaries.Pdf
    THE PORTRAYAL OF LIBRARIANS IN OBITUARIES AT THE END OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY Juris Dilevko 1 and Lisa Gottlieb 2 Obituaries can reveal much about the way a profession is conceived and structured in the popular imagination. This article examines obituaries of librarians in the New York Times between 1977 and 2002 to determine how librarians were presented to the general public by a major newspaper. Although librarianship is a female- intensive profession, 63.4 percent of the obituaries chronicled the lives of male librarians. Although public and school librarians outnumber their academic coun- terparts, obituaries focused on academic librarians. Far from creating a stereotypical portrait of librarians as shy, dour, dowdy, and sheltered individuals, the emphasis on large-scale achievements in the obituaries produces an image of librarianship as a glamorous profession. Some librarians are presented as sleuths and detectives who amassed large collections. They contributed to the progress of scholarly re- search with extensive publications. Many others had connections to prominent people, making the most of these social networks in their work. Librarians were also players on the global stage, founding libraries abroad and developing inter- national guidelines that led to institutional progress. Emphasis on large-scale ac- complishment, however, tends to obscure the contributions of librarians who daily perform countless small and caring acts that, summed together, positively affect the lives of ordinary individuals. Introduction While it is doubtful that Jane Davies [1], Adolf Placzek [2], Dina Abra- mowicz [3], and Emily Reed [4] met in life, they shared common bonds in death. All four passed away in February–May 2000, and all four were 1.

  • Centralized Processing, Recent Trends and Current Status
    U ILL INO I S UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS AT URBANA-CHAMPAIGN PRODUCTION NOTE University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Library Large-scale Digitization Project, 2007. University of Illinois Graduate School of Library Science OCCASIONAL PAPERS Number 71 April 1964 CENTRALIZED PROCESSING. RECENT TRENDS AND CURRENT STATUS: A REVIEW AND SYNTHESIS OF THE LITERATURE by Mary Hanley, Librarian, Catalog Department, University of Minnesota Library, Minneapolis, Minnesota. Centralized processing, in fact, centralization and cooperation at any and every possible point seem to be answers to the great problems facing li- brarians today, such as the rising costs, the selecting and making available of huge quantities of published material, the increasing emphasis on rapid transfer of written information from producers of new knowledge to consumers, and the growing population with a rising level of education and the consequent need for more and better library service. Although centralized processing cannot be considered new (it has actually been in practice in the United States at least since the Library of Congress began to distribute cards just after the turn of the century), it has taken on many new faces in the years since World War II. What had been a spark appears to have become a prairie fire since the passing of the Library Services Act in 1956. New processing centers for public and school libraries have sprung up in nearly every state, either as full-fledged, going concerns or as demonstration projects. These centers vary tremendously as to organiza-

  • Mayden Portrait Sketch Poster
    Priscilla M. Mayden M.L.S. Catching sight at dusk the snowcapped Wasatch Mountains for the first time in September, 1945, Priscilla Mayden wondered what it would be like to live in Salt Lake. Born in Boston September 2, 1918, Priscilla Maltby grew up in the nearby working class town of Stoughton where her parents operated a small business school. Upon graduation from the local high school Priscilla spent a year at her parents’ Maltby School before enrolling at Simmons College. Not knowing that the decision to 100attend Simmons would ultimately determine the arc of her professional career Priscilla entertained thoughts at the time of becoming a writer or journalist. With the country emerging from depression and with war looming on the horizon, Priscilla realized her youthful ambitions would never provide her an adequate living. EHSL Illustration: Gage Baron Simmons had a reputable library school and so in her second year Priscilla transferred into the program. Graduating in 1941 - and saddled with a two-thousand dollar debt from loans secured from her brother and sister - Priscilla accepted a job places that would match her extramural interest. It was during her job search that Priscilla decided to attend a meeting of at the Hartford (Connecticut) Public Library in the Business and Technical Branch where she worked for the next two years. the American Library Association in New York. It was at the convention where Priscilla met Foster Mohrhardt who was head Although she possessed basic skills, much of Priscilla’s library expertise had to be acquired “on-the-job.” Hartford was a of Library Services for the Veterans Administration in Washington.
