September 27, Z977 where they were grceted by Major General Robert G. Yerks, Comnandant of the US Army War College, and Colonel Donald P. Shaw, Director, US Army Military History Institute. Both individuals expressed strong beliefs in the importance of military libraries, and endorsed the program theme of "Resource Sharing." Following the welcome, Mr. J. Thomas Russell, Program Chairman for the Workshop, introduced Mr. Lee Powers, who was representing Mr. James Riley, the Executive Director of the Federal Library Committee. Mr. Powers outlined foz dclegates current projects being undertaken by the Federal Library Committee. Of special interest to the delegates in the area of resource sharing were: (1) A feacibility study on establishing a federal library data base is being conducted: (2) The Survey of Library Automation in the Metropolitan Washington Area, 1977, will be available by the end of the .ear: (3) The Federal Library Committee received a first "traft of a report on the changes in the library and information services resulting primarily from automatio' and technological develop- rments and affecting the Government's classification and qualificaticn standards for libraries. The federal report will be submitted to the Civil Service Commiission for use in its review and revision of standards for librarians and informantion specialists: (4W A draft MARC Technical -ii Report Formnat is in preparation by a four-member working group from the Federal Library Committee, the Library of Congress, and the Department of Defense. The draft will be distributed for comment among librarians using the OCLC system and selected agencies using the COSATI technical report format. The draft will be used by the LC Processing Department in drafting a MARC technical report format; (5) A group of federal libraries, widely dispersed geographically, is planning a six-month pilot experinent involving the installation and use of slow-scan television equipment. The purpose is to determine the usefulness of such equipment to improve the timeliness of document delivery and access to other libraries. Work has begun on the design plan and procedures to conduct the experiment, the detail definition and description of functions and operations for the collection of data, and the method and review for the experiment evaluation. The experiment will begin during the first quarter of calendar year 1978. Following Mr. Powers, Mr. Paul Klinefelter, of the Defense Documentation Center, described the Shared Bibliographed Experiment. Following is the text of Mr. Klinefelter's presentation: SHARING OF BIBLIOGRAPHIC INPUT In consonance with the theme of this conference, the Defense Documentation Center is sponsoring a Shared Bibliographic Input Experiment to build a system which will eventually result in one-time preparation cf standardized bibliographic descriptions generated by a library or information center at the source of technical reports. This procedure is expected, when fully implemented, to result in a sharing of bibliographic data which, once prepared at a knowledgeable point, e.g. the source of the technical report,
