PROFILES

William H. Axford is now University Librarian at Arizona State University, replacing Alan D. Covey, who has accepted a position as Professor in the Department of Library Science at the University of Wisconsin in Oshkosh.

Bill Axford’s programs in the Arizona State Library will reflect his wide automation experience gained in his former position as Director of Libraries at Florida Atlantic University. While there, he was instrumental in the design, testing, and operational phases of the Florida Atlantic automation systems for circulation, acquisitions, and document control. Before accepting the position at Florida Atlantic, Mr. Axford was Director of Libraries at the University of Denver.

His goals for the Arizona State University Libraries are a reflection of his dual training as a Librarian (M.A. in librarianship, University of Denver) and as a historian (Ph.D. in history, University of Denver). While committing Arizona State to computer-based programs in circulation and acquisition systems and to scientific management in technical services, his final goals will be the strengthening of the research collection and augmenting of the teaching role of the library.

The same duality of interest in innovative library programs and scholarship is reflected in his publication activities. Swallow Press has recently published Gilpin County Gold, a biographical study of an early Colorado gold miner; College ir Research Libraries will soon be publishing “Performance Budgeting and Unit Cost Studies at Florida Atlantic University.”

Richard De Gennaro, former Senior Associate University Librarian of Harvard University, has assumed the position of Director of Libraries at the University of Pennsylvania, replacing Warren J. Haas, presently Director of Libraries at Columbia University. He brings to the University of Pennsylvania valuable experience in two areas of concern to all academic libraries—computer systems and building planning.

While Associate University Librarian for Systems Development at Harvard, Mr. De Gennaro established the Data Processing Division and initiated and directed the computer-based Widener Library shelflist conversion and publication program. His building planning experience involved several Harvard Library buildings, including Radcliffe’s Hilles Library, and consultive work on other campuses.

His professional and publication activities have been wide and varied. Mr. De Gennaro is 1970 President of the Information Science and Automation Division of ALA and Past Chairman of the Special Interest Group on Library Automation and Networks of the American Society for Information Service. He has also served on the Chemical Abstracts Advisory Board and has been a visiting Professor of Library and Information Science at the School of Library Science of the University of Southern California.

His numerous publications reflect his contributions to the Harvard Library System and his concern with machine-based library operations. They include: “Harvard University’s Widener Library Shelflist Conversion and Publication Program,” CRL, September 1970; “Building a National Bibliographic Data Base in Machine- Readable Form: Progress and Prospects,” Library Trends, April 1970; “The Development and Administration of Automated Systems in Academic Libraries,” JOLA, March 1968; and “Automation in the Harvard College Library,” Harvard Library Bulletin, July 1968.

John B. Smith

Texas A & M University has announced the promotion of John B. Smith from Acting Director to Director of Libraries. This promotion was effective July 1, 1970. As Acting Director during 1969 and early 1970, and Assistant Director for Public Services from 1966 to 1969, Mr. Smith has played a major role in the rapid growth of the Texas A & M Library. While he was Acting Director, the Library was granted membership in the Center for Research Libraries.

While he was Assistant Director for Public Services, he directed the move into Texas A & M’s new $4 million library.

Mr. Smith’s professional activities include the chairmanship of the ACRL Committee on Community Use of Academic Libraries and his present position of Chairman-elect of the Texas Council of State College Librarians.

NOW YOU CAN GET JANE EYRE ON THE SHELVES AS FAST AS WINNIE THE POOH.

After years ot supplying LJ Cards tor children's doors, we’ve now grown to adults'.

LJ catalog card sets are now available for all English language adult titles published from 1969 on.

Our adult card sets are designed to accomplish the same thing as LJ processing kits for juvenile titles—namely, to get new acquisitions on the shelves while they're still new.

So, as with all LJ Cards, we guarantee to fill your order within 10 days after receiving it—provided, of course, the book has been published. If we fail, return the order and we’ll return your money. (To make sure we don't have to return any money, we've recently increased our orderhandling staff by 250%. And our facilities by 300%.)

You can order adult card sets three ways: with standard Library of Congress order slips; copies of multiple order forms; or any 3"by 5" slip listing author, title, publisher, date of publication, and edition. The price is $.35 per set.

And no matter how you do it, you can now have what elementary and high school librarians have had for some time.

An up-to-date reading room. Instead of just an up-to-date storage room.
