KING LIBRARY, UNIVERSITY OF KENTUCKY, LEXINGTON, KY. 40506 ABQUI THE LIBRARIES From the Director I want to thank the Library staff members in the King North Building for working last Friday during the electrical outage. Public service operations in Periodicals continued both Friday afternoon and Saturday, and Special Collections remained open on Friday. I am . not aware of any serious problems that occurred during this period of time. Thanks again for your cooperation. _ — Paul Willis Notes from ACTS ·There will be a general assembly of ACTS on Monday, May 15, at 2 PM in the Gallery of King North. An agenda will be circulated by Monday, May 8th. Blue Cross/Blue Shield University Personnel has asked us to remind employees that new employees who wish to participate in the University health insurance program must enroll within 30 days of employment. Employees who choose not to enroll during this initial period may enroll at the end of their eleventh month of service. All other enrollments or changes in benefits must be made during the open enrollments. Copies of this memo have been posted in both Staff 1¤¤¤Q€¤ and on the bulletin board on the second floor of King North. Marie Copeland Reports Since February 16, I have been indexing the two local ypapers. It is not a comprehensive index. There are three kinds of limitations to it: me, my Work—Study students in typing, and some items which were agreed upon by the Journalism faculty. Nevertheless, a great deal of information can be gleaned from it. When possible, I use subject headings from Judy Sackett's sample from Bell & Howell. When necessary I make up some headings in keeping with this. I did deviate from Bell & Howell by preferring the use of personal names, and by putting editorials with their subject matter. I Call me if you wish. I'll be glad to answer if possible. (No society and few obituaries.) . _ 3 W - ***WORKSHOPS! ***TOURS! The Education Committee of ACTS is sponsoring two tours and two workshops of the Government Publications Department in King Library during the 4th week of May. The tours will last one hour and are scheduled for Wednesday morning, May 24, at 10:00 and Thursday afternoon, May 25, at 2:00. Workshops are scheduled for Friday, May 26, at l0:00 am and 2:00 pm. The workshops will begin with an hour of instruction after which some printed exercises will be _ distributed. The exercises are designed to give the participant some experience of actual use of some GPD materials, and they may be completed at that time or at some later time when the workshop partic- ipant can return to GPD. Workshop participants are asked to attend one of the tours, but others are welcome to attend the tours without attending the workshops. Each session will be limited to l0 persons; to sign up call (7-2639) or write Rebekah Harleston or Susan Csaky in GPD. These are activities designed with the technical and clerical .staff in mind, but interested professional staff are also invited to attend. Mexicana at the University of Kentucky Libraries Thirty—five items from the Mexicana Collection are currently on dis- play in the Special Collections Gallery. The selection includes books, maps, facsimiles, and a manuscript book and, taken together, represent the makings of a very distinguished collection. For example, two of the rarest items appear to be unique in the world; three books published in Puebla, Mexico, are among the earliest books printed in New Spain, and five of the collection were published before 1700. Many of the pieces were purchased on the Lou Emma Wilson Mexicana Fund established by Dr. Alberta Wilson Server, a retired professor of Spanish at UK. Dr. Server was honored at a reception opening the exhibit late in April. The exhibit continues through the middle of May. A catalog is available upon request in Special Collections. Appalachian Program The Appalachian Education Satellite Program (U.K.) will present a television workshop on "The New Copyright Law — Issues and Answers" on Monday, May 8, 1978, 7-9pm, in Room 57 of Dickey Hall. The Lexington panel will be: Dr. Timothy Sineath, College of Library Science; Cathy O‘Hara, Librarian at Henry Clay; and Susan Bistline, Special Consultant at the Copyright Office. The program will also ` include excerpts from the ALA teleconference with Barbara Ringer. Participants will have the opportunity to call in questions to the panelists to answer. The cost of the workshop is $4.00 (pre—registra— tion is not necessary) and participants may obtain an ALA packet of informative materials at the workshop. .. Ll .... ····»·*‘·=", Super Gnomes Win--Everybody Eats! The Special Collections Super Gnomes defeated representatives from the Rest of the Library in a softball match Sunday evening. The umpires, Mark Willis, Greg Cooper, and Paul Willis did a commendable job. The two coaches, Bill Marshall and Bob Sandrock appeared to have prepared their teams well. The Super Gnomes’ strength is attributed to Colonel Cooper, recipient of the MVP award. His pro- fessional pitching style was augmented by his sparkling fielding at second base where he committed merely three errors. Honorable mention 4 - for MVP goes to Joyce Turner, third baseman and relief pitcher for the Rest of the Library. Putting all hostilities aside, the teams met for a bountiful picnic after the game where they were more evenly matched. Negotiations are in progress for a rematch in June. We won't mention the score from ~ the first game because, to paraphrase coaching great, Adolph Rupp, "If we‘re only playing for fun, why bother to keep score?"
