ARCH: The Communi;g for October '73 carried
an article about the newly formed Academic V
Resource Clearinghouse Project (ARCH). This UNIVERSITY OF KENTUCKY
pamphlet may have potential for the library LIBRARIES
in determining untapped subject specialists,
as well as determining what kinds of re- November 2, 1973 No. 24
search projects are on-going on campus.
ACQUISITIONS CHANGES: "Ms. Elizabeth Howard has recently assumed the
duties of the Head of the Monographic Section in the Acquisitions De-
partment. She will continue to be involved in the Gift and Exchange
unit,as well.”
POSITION OPENINGS: Acquisitions, Classified V, open now.
PLANS: The Planning and Development unit has submitted grant propo-
sals to the Dean of Undergraduate Studies and to the Council on Libra~
ry Resources for money enabling us to provide more reference services
to undergraduate students. If the grants are approved, we will be
getting audio-tutorial carrels for the Reference area. The slide-
tape presentations will be produced by librarians. If these grants
are approved Bill Gardner and Deanna Hudson will be seeking ideas and
help from the staff on the production of the programs.
FACULTY OVERDUES: From University of Tennessee Libraries Annual Report,
1972-73:
"Faculty overdues continue to increase, numbering over 3,500 per
quarter this past year. The Faculty Senate passed a resolution in May
l973 endorsing sanctions against faculty who ignore two recall notices
after materials have been out for more than one year. A straw vote of
the Senators showed a marked preference for fines rather than curtail-
ment of library privileges. Discussions with University Administra-
tion are in progress."
SCI: "A representative from the Institute for Scientific Information _
(ISI) will present a tutorial on the use of SCIENCE CITATION INDEX
(SCI) for all interested faculty, staff, and students in Room 245 of
the Student Center on November 9th. One presentation will be at
10:30 A.M. and another at 2:00 P.M.
SCI is an international interdisciplinary index to the literature
of science, medicine, agriculture, technology and the behavioral sci-
ences. It covers more than 2,400 primary journals. The approach is
multidisciplinary and uses an indexing system that follows scientist's
own traditional method of literature searching - that of locating ar-
ticles related to their subject interests by examining reference cita-
tions of articles known to be relevant.
A new tool, SOCIAL SCIENCES CITATION INDEX, will also be reviewed.
This will be a great interest to those persons in law and the social
sciences. The same basic approach is used. All interested persons
are urged to attend."
