Comments: To: libref-l@kentvm.kent.edu

----------------------------Original message----------------------------

Thanks to those who responded to my question re: candidates' spending for
tv ads.

I was referred to the following sources:

The Federal Elections Committee (800-424-9530), Common Cause (202-833-1200),
and the National Library on Money and Politics (202-857-7809).  These
were cited in CQ's Washington Information Directory.

The work "Sound Bite Democrayccy" by Kiku ADatto.

Statistics Surources also noted the FEC's FEC Reports on Financial ACtivity
and "FecEC Index of Indepenedent Expenditures".

Thanks again for your help.

a paper presented  to a discussion group at the ALA annual conference.
Thanks a lot.

Usually reference staffers are drawn away from their desks to answer
questions about the computers and software. I recommend either multiple
staff at the reference dest, or students who are computer gurus standing by
for the inevitable crises just before closing the night before exams.
Also, be aware of security problems, when both the cd's, computers, wires,
printers, modems, etc. are not under view from a central desk.
good luck!

Dear survey, I have a MALS from UW-Milwaukee.  Can you tell me why it is an mal
s and not mls?  I moved part way through my studies and through great effort an
d cooperation got my degree in 1976.  There was future of  technology question
on the comps.  I didn't touch a computer until 1988.  I recently opened a high
school library, a Science tech magnet school with state of the art equipment in
both     library and television.  At this  time I have had one class is library
school concerning computers.  I have gathered my experience the hard way, on th
e job and on my own.  Was I well prepared?  Who can be!  I was prepared to lear
n and to serve.  I can't ask for more.  Jobs were hard to find in '76.  I subst
ituted for a year and did temp jobs until theschools hired me.  Jobs are hard t
o find now too, but librarians who work at it and wait are being hired. Wages a
re awful. After 17 years, I earn 42,000.  My new MLS daughter was hired at unde
r 20,000.  Woe. What a price to work with civilized people. Jackie

Please respond to me directly at mundlet@max.cc.uregina.ca

I have a bit of a quandry about a title that I am thinking of ordering for our
library.

We presently have a book titled _The New Deal_, edited with an introduction by
Melvyn Dubofsky and Stephen Burwood.  It was published by Garland in 1990 and
is volume 1 of a the series, "The Great Depression and the New Deal" .  Its
ISBN is 0824008936 and it indicates that it is "Reprints of articles published
1963-1985". It is 368 pages long.

Now I am looking at ordering another title, _The New Deal: conflicting
interpretations and shifting perspectives_ also edited by Melvyn Dubofsky.
It also states that it is [Collected Essays], ISBN 0815307659, 352 pages.
This is published by Garland in 1992.

Are these possibly the same book?  Has Garland simply reissued this item
without any reference to the first one?

Does someone have both titles who can let me know if indeed they are two
differnt items?  Any information is appreciated.

Thank you

BUT USE BY OUR SCHOOLS WAS POOR.  AS ONLINE COSTS ARE COMPARATIVELY CHEAP
COMPARED WITH THE SUBSCRIPTION , CONSIDERING THE LACK OF USE, WE HAVE OPTED
TO SEARCH ONLINE.  THE OTHER ADVANTAGE IS THAT WE DIDN'T HAVE THE ARCHIVAL SET
THEREFORE HAD TO SEARCH ONLINE OFTEN ANYWAY

We'd like to evaluate our reference service (i.e. how well we
assist patrons at the reference desk), and would like to hear from other librar
libraries that have done this.  We are particularly interested in how
they did it - what tools were used - and how the data were coded for
(statistical) analysis.  If anyone can send copies of their data
collection instruments, we'd appreciate that.  We would like to focus
on evaluating reference SERVICE rather than the reference COLLECTION.

We don't actually have this situation at Langsdale Library; the stations
are within sight of the Reference desk, but, I don't think you really
want to do this.  Try to have the workstations blocked so that no one
can reach Dos as they will run their own software on your stations.
Without regular checks you will not know that paper for printers is
low until it runs out; people who manage to crash the database will
walk away when they can't find someone to help and leave the problem
for the next user, etc.  Lots of luck.

Please respond to me directly at mundlet@max.cc.uregina.ca
as I am not necessarily a member of this list.

I apologize for any cross-posting as this message is going
out to more than one list.

The University of Regina Library is at present reexamining
its space and how our materials are arranged within that
space.  We are toying with idea of moving to an all journals
floor; at present our floors are designated by call number
with one sequence for monographs and one sequence for
journals.

We also at present separate out the 'Current Issues' from
the backfiles.  A rule of thumb for 'Current Issues' usually
implies the current year, i.e. 1992, although sometimes it
is longer.

I think this is a typical situation.  However, I would like
to know if there are any libraries out there that are
placing current issues immediately with the backfiles, be
those backfiles bound or unbound?  How do the clients like
this?  Do you think they would prefer the current issues
separated out?

So could you please answer the following questionnaire:



Do you immediately file current issues with backfiles?



How long have you been doing this in this manner?



How has the reaction been from your clients?  Are they
happy?  Would they prefer the current issues be separated
out?



If you have recently changed (within the last two years), to
put both together, why did you change?



Approximately how large is your collection?



How many students?

How many faculty?


Any information would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you for
your time.
