JCLIC CONTINUES

The Junior College Library Information Center at American Library Association headquarters is being continued for an additional three-month period through May 31. The Center was established by a grant of $15,000 from the 1967-68 J. Morris Jones-World Book Encyclopedia-ALA Goals Award and has served to collect and to make available informative materials about junior college libraries and library programs. The Center is under the direction of Peggy Sullivan on a half-time basis.

Many of the materials forwarded to the Center from two-year college librarians and others interested in its development have been incorporated in the Headquarters Library of the American Library Association. These include staff handbooks, faculty handbooks, student handbooks, materials on two-year college library buildings, etc. Materials retained in the Junior College Library Information Center include blueprints and plans for two-year libraries, materials that are available on request, and materials which may be consulted by visiting the Center. Copies of annual reports, budgets, project proposals (whether funded or not), newsletters, handbooks, and other items which may be especially helpful to those starting or developing two-year college library programs are especially solicited for the Center’s collection. When the Center is discontinued May 31 these materials will be made available through other agencies of the American Library Association or outside agencies which have means for using them or distributing them to interested persons.
