Abstract

Writing primarily for an American audience, two recent authors take as their starting point the fact that over the last decade the success of automated cataloguing systems have thrown into sharper relief the deficiencies of the card catalogues into which their products have so often been filed. (Just how often is suggested by the fact that OCLC printed over 52 million cards in 1975). These deficiencies, coupled with the approach of 1981, when the Library of Congress is to close its card catalogues and to adopt AACR2, have driven libraries to give serious consideration to alternatives to the card catalogue.

Abstract

This long awaited and welcome publication fills a gap in our comparative librarianship literature. The author, who has been associated with the subject for a number of years, analyses existing writings, draws on the experience of other comparative disciplines and puts forward some personal views with the aim to ‘describe and demonstrate deficiencies, suggest reasons for them, propose amelio‐ration’ (p. ix). In preparing it he read five hundred works and spent a year in thinking and writing. The result is a scholarly study which will be read eagerly by anybody interested in the subject. Containing personal views it is bound to give rise to controversies and it is some of the controversial points that I would like to deal with in this review.

Abstract

The Seminar on Library Interior Layout and Design organised by IFLA's Section on Library Buildings and Equipment, and attended by people from over twenty‐two countries, was held at Frederiksdal, Denmark, in June 1980. This present article neither reports on the Seminar's proceedings, as it is hoped to publish the papers in due course, nor describes fully the Danish public libraries seen, but rather uses the Seminar's theme and the library visits as a point of departure for considering some aspects of the interior layout—the landscape—of public libraries. Brief details of the new Danish public libraries visited are given in a table at the end of the article.

Abstract

That the health of the body is very closely connected with the nature and quantity of the food we take is a statement in the nature of a self‐evident proposition. When we desist from eating food, starvation sets in after a longer or shorter period, according to the individual; when we eat too much or drink too much, distressing symptoms as inevitably supervene. Moreover, the quantity of food or drink consumed is not the only factor. The quality also is a matter of supreme importance, as in cases of malnutrition, while the various forms of blood disease, more or less loosely classed together as anæmia, appear to be associated to some extent with the question of nourishment. Without going so far as extreme partisans do who would seek to prove that all diseases are ultimately due to the consumption of unsuitable food, as witness, for instance, the views of the more advanced vegetarians and fruitarians, who attribute cancer and other maladies to the eating of meat, it is obvious that a very close connection exists between the health of the body and the nature of our food supply.

Abstract

THE fact that the forthcoming conference of the Library Association is to be held at Eastbourne this year should provide it with an additional official interest, as it is here that the Association Hon. Solicitor and Legal Adviser holds the important office of Town Clerk. Mr. Fovargue is the authority on Library Law in all its aspects, and is the author of several books on this important subject. We are particularly happy in being able to print an article from his pen in our special Conference number. The programme of the proceedings is by now, no doubt, in the hands of our readers, and will be found to be less crowded, but no less useful for that, than in previous years. Apart from the usual business programme, which should prove full of interest, the social side has been fully catered for and delightfully arranged. Several interesting motor trips are to take place, and delegates will be afforded an opportunity of enjoying the charms of the beautiful county of Sussex as well as those of one of our most favoured of seaside resorts.
