ACRL at the 1977 Annual Conference
More than twenty program sessions were sponsored by ACRL and its various units during the 1977 ALA Annual Conference in Detroit. ACRL’s principal program was a speech delivered by Stephen K. Bailey, acting president of the American Council on Education. Dr. Bailey’s address, “The Future of College and Research Libraries: A Washington Perspective,” will be published in College & Research Libraries.
ACRL section programs afforded opportunities for members to update their knowledge of all aspects of academic and research librarianship: collection development, bibliographic instruction, reference service, communication and cooperation, coping with change, national bibliography, statistics, and rare books and manuscripts. ACRL’s discussion groups provided a forum for communication among librarians with specialized interests. Tours sponsored by ACRL units included visits to the Henry Ford Museum and Greenfield Village, a view of Slavic collections and sights in the Detroit area, and an architectural tour of Detroit buildings.
ACRL President Connie R. Dunlap presided at ACRL’s membership meeting, at which ACRL’s newly elected officers were introduced. George R. Parks, conference chair for ACRL’s 1978 National Conference in Boston, announced the conference theme, “New Horizons for Academic Libraries,” and urged all members to contribute papers for the conference. ACRL members approved the proposed amendment to the ACRL Constitution and Bylaws to provide for the publications programs of ACRL.
