Abstract
You have just transferred to a new division and it's your first day at work as an assembly supervisor. You go in to talk with your new boss, Department Manager G.C. Rasmussen. Entering the office, you notice a family portrait on the wall. Oh, you think, there is a strong responsible family man. A very well dressed attractive woman enters the room (the thought, “What a clothes horse she is!” crosses your mind) and you politely ask, assuming she's the secretary, “Hey, Hon, get me a cup of coffee, one teaspoon of sugar, no cream, please.” She departs, returns in a few minutes with the coffee and places it in front of you. She then proceeds around to the other side of the desk, sits in the chair, extends her hand, and introduces herself, “Hello, I'm Glenda Rasmussen.” That “right” foot you wanted to start out on is now firmly planted in your mouth.

I ENTERED the literary world late in the immediate post‐war years when changes of literary taste and loyalty were already in the air. The first broadcast I gave was, I remember, an attack upon Virginia Woolf. Her books had nurtured me as an adolescent, and I was in reaction against her influence.

Abstract
THE Newcastle school, like most others, was established after the second world war to provide full‐time education in librarianship as an alternative to the part‐time system which until 1946 was the only one available to the majority of librarians. At first most of the students were returning servicemen whose library careers had been interrupted by the war and they were followed by students direct from libraries, universities and schools. From a handful of students and one full‐time member of staff in the first year the school has grown steadily until there were 53 students and five staff during the session 1962–3 which was the last course held for the Registration Examination.

Abstract
THE greatly increased interest in historical studies since the second world war has been, I hope, a welcome challenge to librarians, but it has been very difficult to meet it. That the librarians of our new universities should have had little research material to offer was only to be expected. Unfortunately, research scholars have discovered that our older libraries were also deficient, that source materials had either not been purchased, in the years when they were readily available, or had been acquired only to be discarded at a later date. Recently, therefore, both old libraries and new have found themselves in competition for a small and dwindling supply of out‐of‐print publications.
