LATE BREAKING NEWS
Five more institutions have indicated their interest in participating in the ACRL Exchange Librarian Program (see C&RL News, June 1982, p.205, and July/ August 1982, p.241). Libraries or librarians interested in participating in an exchange should contact these foreign institutions directly.
Sheila Flanagan, Librarian, Our Lady of Mercy College, Carysfort Park, Blackrock, County Dublin, Ireland.
Jeff Fanning, Librarian, The College of Nautical Studies (formerly the Southampton School of Navigation), Warsash, Southampton S03 6ZL, United Kingdom: "It is unlikely we can offer a direct exchange but visitors would be able to gain a valuable insight into our very specialised field.”
Eleanor Fazakerly, Institute Librarian, Christ’s and Notre Dame College (a College of the Liverpool Institute of Higher Education)‚ Woolton Road, Liverpool L16 8ND, United Kingdom: “We cannot offer paid employment but there is a possibility for a single person for rent-free accomodation in a student’s hall of residence."
J. McKinlay, Acting Chief Librarian, La Trobe University, Bundoora, Victoria, Australia 3083: (La Trobe is in a suburb of Melbourne). "We are interested in a ’bilateral' agreement by which one of our Library Staff would be exchanged for a limited period with a person of similar qualifications and interests, although such parity is not absolutely essential as we can make various changes to accomodate a potential exchange partner. The librarians concerned would keep their own salaries."
W.G. Buick, University Librarian, Murdoch University Library, P.O. Box 14, Willetton 6155, Australia: "There would be no problem in accepting a nonsalaried visitor, but obviously an exchange agreement would need to be considered on its merits and would be dependent on our having an interested party at this end."
