Letters
To the Editor: I should like to mention that in addition to the other relevant facts of Louis Round Wilson’s illustrious life and career (p.71 CirRL News, March 1980), the death of this Melvil Dewey medal recipient on December 10, 1979, came on the anniversary of Dewey’s birthday.—Christopher Albertson, director, Orange Public Library, Orange, Texas.
Closing the Catalog
To the Editor: The cover article, “Close the Card Catalog?” in the February issue is by far the most informative thing I have found on the impact of AACR 2.
Like other librarians, I have serious reservations about this business of “closing” the card catalog.—Robert Underbrink, head librarian, Blackburn College, Carlinville, Illinois.
“The Reference Librarian”
To the Editor:
Ann T. Hinckley’s article “The Reference Librarian” in the March 1980 College Lr Research Libraries News really catches the flavor of the work of reference librarians. Indeed, her article expresses the very reasons why I became a reference librarian.—Judith B. Quinlan, reference librarian, Perkins Library, Duke University. ■■
