For the first time, american libraries is available to all libraries—on subscription. (And, of course, anyone can have it as part of ALA membership, now available at a new low cost for individuals.)

What’s more, american libraries is launching out in a bold new direction never fully achieved in the library press: Association, professional, national and local news without tears. Who says an official journal has to be dull? Not the new AL editor, who brings two Educational Press Association Awards of his own to add to the six that AL won last year.

There’ll be plenty of hard news in AL these hard times. Isn’t it good news that you can subscribe for your library by just checking the form below?

As your budget gets tighter you need the best advice you can find.

You just found it. Consumers Index and Media Review Digest provide the advice you need, compiling evaluative information on media software and equipment of value to libraries, schools, and consumers. Each is the most significant reference and selection tool in its field. Purchasing based on advice from these works could save many times their modest cost.

ENCYCLOPEDIA OF ASSOCIATIONS

THE NINTH EDITION—completely revised, updated, and reset in a more legible type face—will be even more useful than previous editions . . .

Librarians consult the Encyclopedia of Associations first for sources of current, authoritative information, which associations are uniquely equipped to provide on thousands of subjects. Just published, the- Ninth Edition includes some 20,000 changes plus 1,255 brand-new listings. Covered along with national nonprofit membership organizations are selected non-membership groups, foreign groups of interest in America, U.S. local and regional groups of national interest, and citizen action groups and governmental advisory bodies concerned with specific problems.

Volume 1, National Organizations of the United States. Over 12,600 of the 14,563 entries in the basic Volume 1 are full descriptions of active associations. (Others are listings for inactive or defunct groups, pseudo-organizations, etc.) Active organizations are arranged in 17 subject categories: trade, agriculture, scientific, educational, public affairs, etc.

Information given in each entry includes the group’s name, address, chief executive, phone number, purpose and activities, membership, publications, convention schedule, and other details.

The 40,000-item alphabetical and keyword index—which now refers to entries by number—lists associations both by proper names and under the keywords that best identify their fields of activity.

Volume 2, Geographic and Executive Index. The Geographic Section lists in state and city order all the associations that are arranged in Volume 1 by subject. Included are addresses, phone numbers, and names of executives. The Executive Section lists by surname all the executives mentioned in Volume 1, followed by their titles, names of their organizations, complete addresses, and phone numbers. Each listing in both sections gives the number of the detailed organization entry in Volume 1.

Volume 3, New Associations and Projects. This quarterly supplement to Volume 1 is published during the period between the 9th and 10th editions in order to provide subscribers with details on the hundreds of new organizations constantly being formed to deal with new problems and concepts, or to try a new approach to old situations.

Reviewers have had high praise for previous editions of EA:

“Since its introduction in 1956, the Encyclopedia of Associations has earned its reputation as a cornerstone of any sound general reference collection … In a word, the Encyclopedia of Associations is a basic reference tool. All libraries should have it. ” (RQ)

“The only comprehensive source of detailed information on nonprofit American membership organizations of national scope.” (Guide to Reference Books for School Media Centers)

“The largest directory of American associations currently available for library purchase … It is accurate and reasonably current. Recommended.” (The Booklist)
