Abstract
The first part of this paper described scientific principles and methods for practical applications of electrolytic conductance tests on protective films on metals. This second part shows practical methods and procedures for obtaining and recording laboratory test data on the performance of protective coatings and of plastic tape‐wrap coatings applied to steel pipe as primary protection against corrosion.
This paper, to be published in two parts, gives details of the author's work to establish a research and testing programme for use in selection of protective coatings for metals…
Abstract
This paper, to be published in two parts, gives details of the author's work to establish a research and testing programme for use in selection of protective coatings for metals and methods for their application. It is intended primarily for use by the waterworks and public utilities industries and aircraft manufacturing industries. This first article deals with the principles and practice of the newly developed indicator solution and electrolytic conductance tests on protective coatings for steel pipe.

Abstract
Scientists of the United States National Bureau of Standards have found that some aluminium alloys can resist corrosion in either a marine or inland atmosphere for at least 20 years. These results were obtained in a long‐range study conducted by F. M. Reinhart and G. A. Ellinger, of the Bureau's staff, for the Navy Bureau of Aeronautics. Besides determining the corrosion resistance of a large number of aluminium alloys, the study also provides data regarding the effects of heat treatment and protective coatings on corrosion rates.

Abstract
This study is based on the earlier work of Iannaccone and Lutz, Kirkendall and Le Doux and Burlingame and uses socio‐economic data obtained from 77 school districts in Massachusetts through the period 1963–1972. The study examines a series of hypotheses related to the “gap” that may develop between community demand and school board response. Some of the findings are (i) the Iannaccone‐Lutz model of school board member incumbent defeat is valid and the “gap” between community demands and the school board's response is an important factor in the operational model; (ii) the school board's response to community's demands (tax rate) is an important variable in determining the “gap” resulting in incumbent defeat and in predicting the variance in this political phenomenon in school districts; (iii) socio‐economic‐political indicators of school district change selected by Kirkendall are related to school board member incumbent defeat.

Abstract
The following annotated bibliography of materials on orienting users to the library and on instructing them in the use of reference and other resources covers publications from 1979. A few items from 1978 were included because information about them had not been available in time for the 1978 listing. Some entries were not annotated because the compiler was unable to secure a copy of the item. The bibliography includes publications on user instruction in all types of libraries and for all types of users from children to adults. To facilitate the use of the list, it has been divided into categories by type of library. Even though the library literature includes many citations to items on user instruction in foreign countries, this bibliography includes only publications in the English language.

Abstract
The following annotated list of materials on providing library orientation to users and instructing them in library and information skills is the tenth annual review of this literature and covers publications from 1983. A few items have not been annotated because the compiler was unable to secure a copy of these items.

Abstract
The following annotated bibliography of materials on orienting users to the library and on instructing them in the use of reference and other resources covers publications from 1980. Several items from 1979 were included because information about them had not been available in time for the 1980 listing. Some entries were not annotated because the compiler was unable to secure a copy of the item.

Abstract
The following is an annotated list of materials that discuss the ways in which librarians can provide library users with orientation to facilities and services, and instruct them in library information and computer skills. This is RSR's 11th annual review of this literature, and covers publications from 1984. A few items from 1983 have been included because of their significance, and because they were not available for review last year. Several items were not annotated because the compiler was unable to secure them.

Abstract
Purpose
As academic fields increasingly turn to social action and seek partnerships with groups beyond the academy, so too are we looking for guidance. Rural sociology developed out of applying research to social action and within this field was a unique unit. The purpose of this paper is to present a history of the Division of Farm Population and Rural Life, which was part of the US Department of Agriculture from 1919 to 1953 was a pioneer in applying sociological knowledge to policy and action.
Design/methodology/approach
This article looks back to the history of this unit to examine the lessons to be learned.
Findings
Placing these lessons within the context of contemporary issues underscores the continuing relevance of this historical experience.
Originality/value
The issues surrounding engaging external partners are both particularistic and universal. However, without an historical sense of the challenges, each time we encounter them, the challenges feel new and somehow unique. This article looks back to history to examine lessons that can be learned. Placing these lessons within the context of contemporary issues underscores relevance of the historical experience from events and people that occurred several generations of professionals ago.
