$$$$$: "The addition of professional and clerical staff for the new
Zibrary addition was given a high priority rating in Academic Affairs.
Also, I included a request to fund recurring acquisitions needs on a
recurring basis. Although it will not be possible to secure the resources
truly needed in the biennium, it is important that we begin an effort to
regularize and enlarge the recurring acquisitions program. Funds to
continue the teletype service for the interlibrary loan program and to`
catalogue the 55,000 microfilm titles were included as priority items."
(Letter to Paul Willis from Dr. Cochran, August 21, 1973) Dr. Cochran `
was also able to find¤$40,000 to be added to the Acquisitions budget in
the current fiscal year. There is some hope that a little more can be
added some time in January 1974.
CRL: "The March list of Journals Accessible Through the Center for _
Eggearch bibraries lists 405 titles now availablE_from or through the
Center as part of its expanded journals project. Of these titles, 301
are titles cancelled by the member libraries. Of these cancelled titles
the Center has placed subscriptions for ll2 to be received by the Center,
166 the Center will provide free photocopies from through the NLL collec-
tion and 23 it was already receiving. The remaining 104 titles on the
March list are journals which, although not yet cancelled by a member
library, the Center will provide free photocopies from the NLL. These ·
titles were selected for addition to the list because available union
lists show them to be held by few member libraries and it would appear
_to be useful to have them available through the Center. These are all
foreign titles that the available evidence indicates are very infre-
quently used.
Most of the recommended titles to which the Center had e.subscrip-
tion are received through the PL—480 program." (CRL Newsletter, 144:1,
February—April 1973)
_ QN§_DOLyA5: "You, too, can become a naturalized citizen of Oceanus:
The pfice is right-- one buck: and the citizenship offer is open to
anyone of any age, sex or national origin. What is Oceanus? As you
might guess, it is a worldwide nation consisting of the six-sevenths of
the world underwater. The founding father of Oceanus, Mr. Ted Welles of
Manset, Maine, envisages the day when human beings everywhere will recog-
nize and promote a simple understanding; i.e., the world's seas and oceans
belong to all of the world's people. Not just to brawling cod fishermen,
marauding whalers and aggrandizing politicians. If you would like to take
out citizenship papers in Oceanus, just send $1 to Mr. Welles. And tell
your friends." (The Environment Monthly, 6/73:12) By the way, this
publication is well worth reading from cover to cover.
