The monthly University Libraries
Acquisitions list produced in the Cataloging Department has been
suspended due to changes in technical processing. We have purchased
from OCLC a computer produced listing of all material cataloged on-
line by UK each month. Reference also has the open order report
generated by BATAB. This report reflects all items currently on
order by the library and approval books that have been received.

Larry Greenwood reports that about 1,700 freshmen were given library V
tours last week and everything went smoothly. During this week
about 500 students received instructional tours.
 
Phone calls from off campus to the library can be transferred to
other on—campus offices via a simple procedure. If library staff
members use this transfer capability, patrons may be spared calling
2 or 3 different departments themselves.
The procedure to transfer a call is as follows: l) make sure the
caller is off-campus; 2) tell the person you are transferring their
call and give him the number (in case the call is disconnected);
_ 3) depress the button briefly and wait for a dial tone; 4) dial
the 5 digit UK number and explain that a transferred call is coming
in; 6) hang up - your party will automatically be connected with
the new number. .
 
David Farrell recently chartered the Bluegrass poetry circuit, a non-
profit organization to promote the writing of poetry by students at
colleges and universities in central Kentucky. The circuit is
sponsored by the Kentucky Arts Commission and is being organized by ·
David, Jim Hall of the English Department, and several other persons
in central Kentucky. They are inviting each campus in the region
to nominate a student poet. A panel of judges will select three
among the nominees to receive cash prizes and to make a spring
reading tour of the participating campuses.
