Hopp has been appointed Director of Libraries for the Twin Cities Campus, replacing Dr. S. B. Stanford. Dr. Stanford will be joining the faculty of the library school at the University of Minnesota on July 1.

As is often the case with the leading library directors, Mr. Hopp has taught and written widely. He has been a lecturer at the University of Denver and the University of Ankara, the latter as a Fulbright lecturer.

His publishing activities reflect a concern with university library administration, library construction, and scientific literature. His dissertation for his Ph.D. at the University of Illinois dealt with documentation in science and technology. He has published several papers concerning university library problems and has authored a number of surveys.

Professionally, his work has included the chairmanship of the Library Technology Program Advisory Committee, chairmanship of the Buildings and Equipment Section of LAD. He is presently Chairman-elect of the University Libraries Section of ACRL.

Carl Sachtleben

Western Michigan University has indicated their commitment to progressive and innovative library service by their appointment of Carl Sachtleben as director of libraries to succeed Peter Spyers- Duran, who is now director of libraries at Florida Atlantic.

Mr. Sachtleben, who earned his B.A. degree at Valparaiso, his B.S. in Library Science from Western Reserve University and his M.A. from Washington (St. Louis) University, was formerly director of libraries at Valparaiso University, a position he took in 1964. Before his appointment at Valparaiso, he was a member of the St. Louis University Library staff from 1958 to 1964. During his six years at St. Louis University, he occupied positions of increasing responsibility until in 1962 he was appointed assistant director of libraries.

His recent professional affiliations reflect his professional interests. He has served on the ACRL committees for appointments and nominations and is Chairman of ACRL’s College Library Section for 1970-71. He also has close ties with the Indiana Library Association and the Lutheran Academy for Scholarship.

GALE S 152-VOLUME CUMULATION OF LG/NUC 1942-62 AUTHOR LISTS IS NOW READY FOR IMMEDIATE USE AND SAVINGS!

All 152 volumes in Gale's LC-NUC Master Cumulation have now been published and are ready for immediate shipment.

Librarians who used the set as it was being published have enthusiastically attested to its time-saving features and the quality of the editorial work, and those who have delayed ordering until all the volumes were ready may now buy and use the cumulation with complete confidence in its bibliographic worth.

Users report that the cumulation significantly streamlines processing procedures and drastically reduces search time. Many have praised the work for such unique qualities as its value as a reclassification tool, its revised and improved arrangement, its added cross references and notes, and its usefulness in establishing authors and assigning subject headings.

The value of the cumulation is much greater than merely the sum of the value of the individual supplements because the cumulation represents thousands of professional judgements which solved problems of variant practices and inconsistencies that plague users of the four separate supplements. Thus, owners of the separate supplements should seriously consider the purchase of the vastly superior cumulation.

Gale’s Library of Congress and National Union Catalog Author Lists, 1942-1962: A Master Cumulation, embraces these four supplements to A Catalog of Books Represented by Library of Congress Printed Cards:

• Catalog of Books Represented by Library of Congress Printed Cards—Supplement (1942-1947)

• The Library of Congress Author Catalog, 1948-1952

• The National Union Catalog: A Cumulative Author List. 1953-1957

• The National Union Catalog: A Cumulative Author List, 1958-1962
