When contacted by the editors of C&RL News, Mr. Peterson stated that he hopes to up- hold and build upon the strong library devel- oped at Carbondale under the leadership of Dean McCoy. He will be involved with library building expansion plans in the immediate fu- ture and hopes to maintain close relations with the library staff.

Thomas A. Orlando has been appointed special collections librarian of the Chicago Pub- lic Library. “His appointment as the Library’s first trained antiquari- an indicates the im- portance the Chicago Public Library places on its growing collec- tions of rare books and other valuable lit- erary materials,” said Chief Librarian David L. Reich in announc- ing Mr. Orlando’s ap- pointment. “As a clas- sics scholar as well as a librarian, Mr. Orlan- do is well prepared to give the Library’s many gifts the informed care that donors have a right to expect.”

Mr. Orlando was awarded the bachelor of arts degree with distinction by the University of Virginia in 1971 and earned a master of arts degree in Latin there two years later. He received the master of arts degree in librarianship from the University of Chicago in 1975. He also attended the Intercollegiate Center for Classical Studies in Rome in 1969-70. His languages are Latin, ancient Greek, and French.

Mr. Orlando’s experience includes work as the assistant to the curator of the Rare Book Department of the Alderman Library, University of Virginia (Sept. 1973-Sept. 1974), as an assistant in the Main Reading Room at the Newberry Library (Sept. 1974-Oct. 1975), and as a part-time assistant in humanities reference at the Joseph Regenstein Library, University of Chicago (Jan.-Oct., 1975).

He taught Latin and English while in Virginia, has published in the antiquarian field, and is known in rare book circles for his work. He is a member of the Special Libraries Association.
