ACRL EXHIBIT BOOTH

AT INAUGURATIONS, DEDICATIONS AND OTHER ACADEMIC CEREMONIES

ACRL will again provide an exhibit booth (No. 243) at the ALA conference in San Francisco. The booth will serve as a center of information about ACRL activities, including publications and reprints of interest to academic and research librarians. Inquiries for informa­ tion can be answered by academic librarians who are staffing the booth, or left for answering by the ACRL executive secretary after he re­ turns to the ALA headquarters in July.

The ACRL booth is being manned by aca­ demic librarians of the San Francisco Bay area under the supervision of Juliet B. Clark, acting university librarian, University of San Francisco, and chairman of the ACRL Com­ mittee on Local Arrangements. Special emphasis is being provided in two areas of ACRL activity;

1. The ACRL Audio-Visual Committee will provide information relative to the pur­ pose and activities of the committee, as well as books, articles and other items on the establishment, use, promotion and evaluation of audio-visual materials and services, primarily in academic libraries. Committee members and consultants will be present to answer questions and offer assistance to delegates interested in A-V problems and programs.

2. The Junior College Libraries Section of ACRL will provide copies of bibliogra­ phies, surveys, and other information of interest to junior college librarians for as­ sistance in development of effective library programs. Sample copies of handbooks will be available for browsing. Members of the Section also plan to assist in the staffing of the booth, to act as consultants.

The booth, located in Brooks Hall, will be open from Sunday, June 25, through Thursday, June 29, during the regular exhibit hours.
