DEATHS

W. Carl Jackson, former dean of university libraries at Indiana University, is presumed dead after having been lost at sea off the coast of Spain in May 1981. Having sailed his yacht, the “Carla Mia,’’ to Ireland in 1978, he was attempting to recross the Atlantic.

Jackson received his MLS in 1952 from Florida State University. He held positions of increasing responsibility in the libraries of the University of Tennessee, Iowa State University, the University of Iowa, the University of Minnesota, and the University of Colorado before becoming director of libraries at Pennsylvania State University in 1966. On January 1, 1973, he became dean of university libraries at Indiana University, a position he relinquished on June 30, 1980, to allow more time for writing, research, and teaching.

Jackson made significant contributions to the library profession during his career. He was a leader in the founding of MARLIN and MIDLNET, and he led the national effort to develop the Cataloging-in-Publication program now operated by the Library of Congress. He served the American Library Association in several capacities—as chair of many committees, as president of the Resources and Technical Services Division, and as a member of ALA Council.
