College and University Library Specialist, Library Planning and Development Branch, Division of Library Services and Educational Facilities, U.S. Office of Education, Washington, D.C. 20202.

Since the inception of the Higher Education Facilities Act of 1963, over 800 library facilities have received Federal aid. Construction of new libraries and remodelling of existing facilities have been assisted by Title I grants for undergraduate facilities, Title II grants for graduate facilities, and Title III loans.

In the Library Journal’s December 1 issues for 1967 and 1968, Dr. Jerrold Orne’s statistical surveys of the year’s work in college and university library architecture reported buildings occupied or dedicated in those years. All but 23 of the libraries listed in both surveys have received Federal aid under Titles I, II or III of HEFA.

Title I grants come from the Federal allotments made to States. The State commissions established to administer State plans receive applications and assign priorities to eligible projects. The priority list is then submitted to the OE regional office. The projects ranked by the States which are within the State allotment are reviewed by the OE regional office and the regional engineer for eligibility. Those projects which satisfy both reviews are approved by the Regional Director of Higher Education for awards. For Title III loans, institutions submit applications to the OE regional office. Financial review, recommendation for approval, and post-approval actions are performed in Washington, D.C., by the Facilities Loans Section, Program Operations Branch, Division of College Facilities. The loans are awarded by the Regional Director of Higher Education.

Listed herewith are 12 libraries that were in Dr. Orne’s surveys and eligible for Title II (HEFA) grants as graduate facilities, with the amounts awarded under each HEFA Title. Applications for Title II grants are submitted directly to Dr. Olof Stamberg, Chief, Graduate Facilities Branch, Bureau of Higher Education.
