FARRINGTON NAMED NONPRINT EDITOR

Jean W. Farrington, assistant head of circulation at the Van Pelt Library, University of Pennsylvania, has been appointed editor of ACRL’s Nonprint Media Publications. She succeeds Dwight Burlingame, who has held that post since 1978.

Farrington is a 1972 graduate of Simmons Graduate School of Library and Information Science. At the State University of New York at Albany she held several positions, including head of Nonprint, Reserve and Periodical Services. In 1979 she co-edited and designed a special issue of Serials Review devoted to women’s periodicals, and she writes an occasional column for the Serials Librarian on microserials management.

Farrington also currently serves on the editorial board of College & Research Libraries.

CALL FOR PAPERS: WESTERN EUROPE

The future of West European area studies and North American research libraries will be the focus of a two and one-half day symposium planned for May, 1983, at the University of Minnesota. Outlines for possible papers are invited on the following topics: the production and transmission of knowledge in and about Western Europe (including trends in European publishing, collecting patterns and national policies, and alternative formats of publication); and the development of West European area studies as a discipline (including an analysis of researchers’ needs and librarians’ responses during a period of fiscal restraint).

Thematic, comparative, regional, or nationspecific approaches are welcomed. A prospectus of no more than three pages double-spaced should be submitted in duplicate by January 15, 1982, to Martha Brogan, 180 Wilson Library, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, MN 55455; (612) 376-2550.
