Monke Joins Committee to Revise Standards

Arthur Monke, librarian at Bowdoin College in Brunswick, Maine, has been appointed to the ACRL Committee to Revise the 1959 Standards for College Libraries. Mr. Monke replaces Barbara G. LaMont, who has recently resigned from the committee for personal reasons.

The committee, chaired by Johnnie Givens, librarian at Austin Peay State University in Tennessee, has prepared a set of background/ working papers which are available from the Executive Secretary, ACRL, 50 E. Huron St., Chicago, IL 60611. Miss Givens has discussed the progress of the committee at a recent meeting of the Pennsylvania Library Association and at the Midwest Academic Librarians Conference in Milwaukee.

At the ALA New York Conference in July, the committee will hold a series of hearings. Interested persons are invited to present their comments on the revision of the standards at any time during the following scheduled hours: Wednesday, July 10, from 2:00 to 6:00 p.m., and Thursday, July 11, from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon.

The committee acknowledges its appreciation for the support of a J. Morris Jones-World Book Encyclopedia-ALA Goals Award, which has funded the first year of the project.
