Librarians at Hamline University have become more than storekeepers who make sure the latest material is available. With the help of a 3M Microfilm System, they have become catalysts between the instructor and student.

At Hamline's Schilling Memorial Research Center, an entire curriculum is built around the library materials on microfilm. The librarian works with an instructor, helping him integrate the library resources with his instruction.

Instead of using this microfilm material for reference, the student now uses it as his original source. He can read about an event as it happened in the New York Times on microfilm, instead of in a history book. Rather than being spoon-fed the information, he puts his reasoning powers to use and compares a specific event with other world happenings of the same era.

The student can look up microfilm data in seconds on the screen of a 3M “400” Reader-Printer. If he wants a reference copy, he just pushes a button and has it in six seconds.

For more information, call your 3M Business Products Center or write to 3M Microfilm Systems, Dept. FFD-49, St. Paul, MN 55101.

this librarian is now a catalyst instead of a storekeeper

For new convenience in using CHOICE . . .

With the first issue of Volume 5, March 1968, CHOICE began an additional service long requested by subscribers — CHOICE Reviews-on-Cards. If you were not among the service's charter subscribers, you may want to consider it now.

CHOICE Reviews-on-Cards can bring to your acquisitions system a new convenience as versatile as you want to make it. Cards make it easy to separate and distribute reviews simultaneously to other librarians and faculty — no more tearing up copies or waiting forever for circulating copies to return. Cards can save clerical steps in ordering and checking holdings (ample space for notations on both front and back of each card). They are a cataloging aid, and they are easy to locate in your desiderata file. You can probably think of dozens of other uses in your own system.

DESCRIPTION OF CARD REVIEWS

As each regular issue of CHOICE goes to press, all reviews in the issue are reprinted separately on 3x5 cards. Each is identified by subject heading and issue date. Collated in the order followed in the magazine, they are boxed and mailed to you via Fourth Class mail, Special Handling.

DELIVERY OF CARDS

Fourth Cass, Special Handling means your box of cards is carried from our post office to yours with regular First Class mail, but delivered according to your local Parcel Post delivery schedule. You should receive cards at about the same time as your regular issue by Second Class mail.
