PROFILES

The Association of Research Libraries has an- nounced the appointment of John P. McDonald, director of the University of Connecticut Library, to the position of ARL ex- ecutive director suc- ceeding Dr. Stephen A. McCarthy, who will retire on De- cember 31, 1974.

John P. McDonald

Mr. McDonald is a graduate of the Uni- versity of Virginia and received his library degree from Drexel University.

His professional li- brary experience in- cludes positions at the University of Pennsylvania, Washington Uni- versity (St. Louis), and the University of Con- necticut, where he has served as director of the library since 1963.

Long active in professional library associations, Mr. McDonald is a past-president of ARL and has served on a number of committees of the ARL and the American Library Association.

Mr. McDonald is married to the former Josephine Herring and has two sons. He will join the ARL staff in Washington on November 1.

Barbara G. Scotthas been appointed di- rector of the library and associate professor at Birmingham-Southern College, Birmingham, Alabama. For the past seven years she held the position of acqui- sitions librarian at Gustavus Adolphus College, Saint Peter, Minnesota, where she also served for a short time as acting direc- tor. A native of Wash- ington state, Miss Scott received her A.B. in history in 1964 and her M.Ln. in 1967 from the Uni- versity of Washington. She succeeds James E. Gaines, Jr., who re- signed to enter the doctoral program in li- brary science at Florida State University.

Barbara G. Scott

Miss Scott was asked to comment on her new assignment. Some of her remarks follow: “My immediate concern at Birmingham-Southern College is twofold: to explore the ramifications of a new college campus on the library’s building program and to continue developing Readers’ Services in the present facility to insure that present service is not neglected for anticipated future service.

“I see the quality of the library’s collection as the base upon which service is built. A steadily growing concern of mine is that standard collection development policies of private liberal arts colleges often do not adequately relate to the multi-faceted information explosion. Within the confines of current economic realities, this situation assumes even greater significance for the quality service we strive to provide.”

Birmingham-Southern has traditionally been recognized as one of the South’s most progressive liberal arts colleges. The library has perhaps the best liberal arts collection in the state.
